Void Reaver!
From the patch notes:

Tempest Keep: The Eye
  • Void Reaver’s Arcane orbs now generate combat log entries.


...

Yes!!!!!!!!




Edit: Some of you seem to have escaped the sheer hell that was invisible orb glitches. Paying attention in fights is important, yes. Wiping the raid because your video card didn't properly generate a shiny bubble floating toward you? Lame.

I can't believe I missed that when reading the patch notes this morning. It was soooo annoying doing VR without knowing where orbs were headed. Some folks were able to look up and see orbs coming at them but I can only see them giong at other people, never if they are headed to me.

Hooray!

Was SOO happy when it said it'd be fixed.(DBM is now updated so it'll announce it again! Wee). Playing 'Dodge-the-arcane ball" with no announcements it like a chicken running with their head chopped off. NO FUN.

Oh, and the SHEER JOY of trying to keep track of the announcement-free arcane ball when the graphics glitched and it was invisible? Lovely.

You know, my guild never had a problem downing him even without the orb announcements. I actually thought it was an improvement because it forced people to actually pay attention, which is really valuable to other fights as well. Oh well, back to easy mode.

^ This. Except that the idiots in my last guild couldn't apparently notice the giant ball of pain flying at them. *facepalm*

"Idiots" or "video-glitched"?

I watched the orbs move toward them and hit them. I'm gonna go with the first one.

The whole point is that not everyone can see the orbs. Before I got my new computer a few weeks ago I could not see them at all. I could see the big "bubble" that exploded when they hit, but the orbs themselves? Nope. It depends entirely on how good your video card is. You seeing them doesn't mean that everyone else could.

You've never seen something that others in the game didn't? Someone running in place, looking like they're still mounted when they're obviously not, stuck in loot position, or with their arm up as if they're still casting?

We didn't have issues downing him with my guild as well; but so many people would retardedly die from the orbs(dps casters, mostly.) that I'm happy for this change.

Yeah, void reaver has been super annoying. It's a pain to tilt the camera waaay up and stare intently at his head for the duration of the fight. Never mind trying to actually, you know, cast spells or anything crazy like that.

I know! I tried once, and the angle was so annoying, especially when I have to run off. I gave up and just went for my normal angle. Didn't die though as I was religiously trying to spot any that comes my way or near me.

OMG thank goodness! We lost so many to that bug that last night we had two hunters running in a huge circle kiting invisi-orbs while the rest of us sat, as our RL so delicately put it "right under his crotch you guys!!!"
And of, course, every time we'd get him down to 40% he'd run away .... o.O I HATE VR. >:(

I had no problem running away from my orbs... I had problems with other people standing on me and getting orbed. >< So glad that's fixed, so I know who to run away from.
