I'm curious what people have found with our group invis breaking on damage taking now.  It seems like there's almost a threshold of damage you're allowed to take before it will break.  I tested this when the changes went live to see if they'd removed it and I was still able to break invis when taking (falling) damage, but last night in the silent city there were a few times when I fell and took less than 100 damage without it breaking.  Actually, it would break for a second and then reapply itself, so I'm not sure what was happening. Anyone else notice this?</span><div></div>

Which currently, they haven't soooooooooo, no naggy trips for a while anyway <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
