I am not sure if this is how it is suppose to work but lately I have been having issues with not being able to see certain people on the who list. Mainly those who are dead, I put up spirit sight and yet I still can't see them, yet they are sending me messages from the afterlife asking for life. Shouldn't casting spirit sight grant you the ability to detect those within the River of death? I know I am a human which they can't see in the dark but this shouldn't affect that when you cast spirit sight should it, or is this how it is suppose to work?

Yeah, if they are in the River, it should be fine. If they are manifested or waiting to arrive to the River and in a dark place, you probably wouldn't see them. That might be the problem in this case.

Likewise, invisible, hidden, or camouflaged people won't be detectable by normal means, but it sounds like you might be aware of that.

They are in the River when they ask me for life. If I get a tell and it is someone asking for life I always put up spirit sight before I respond. And then I talk with them, yet during the entire messages it continues to say someone even when they say they are in the River.

Like the_me, the only thing I can think is that they're dead in a dark room and you don't have infravision. I don't think any of the river of death or isle of death rooms are dark, though, so either someone's messing with your head or something funky's going on.

The one in that portal in the river is likely a dark room.

the actual River before you hit the shores might be dark too.

Location: At home. Or work, maybe. Or working from home.
I will say this was one of the most annoying features of playing a priest without innate infravision. It would be nice if those rooms could be properly adjusted.

Personally, I wish that spirit sight granted "true seeing" toward the dead and anyone with spirit aura up (similar to the way death shroud and undead work currently).

I'll second that... It really is silly that it doesn't.

Yeah, really. What's the point of having spirit sight up if you can't see them in the dark and you still have to ask who you're talking to, or worse, miss whoever asked you for life because someone else sent you a tell right afterwards. This has happened to me a lot.

The solution would be to make ghosts glow in the dark.
