I'm hoping someone can tell me a.) what's going on here and b.) how I can make it stop. Basically I just finished Champions of the Just and I went back to the Hinterlands to do a couple quests before wrapping up the Haven chapter; we got into a fight and all of a sudden this happened:

 

 

All members of my party have a purple haze (as well as an odd glitch-like effect as though they're phasing in and out) accompanied by a constant, hugely irritating buzzing/droning sound. I have no doubt this is tied to the symbol above and to the right of my combat wheel (the purple and blue circle that has a head covered by a bandana), but I'm damned if I can figure out exactly what that status is - and how to remove it, since the constant drone is slowly driving me crazy.

 

I've switched out my party - the Inquisitor stays purple-hazed. I've changed outfits, accessories, weapons - still purple-hazed. I even respecced and went to Haven - I'm still purple-hazed. Please help. If for no other reason, I'd like to know how to use the purple and blue bandana symbol status to fight better (this is the first playthrough I'm doing on hard, which is exciting for me).

Oooh, seems one of your weapons, or armor has the Avenger ability 
 

 
 

Avenger is a rogue ability for Isabela in the Dragon Age: Inquisition multiplayer.
 
When a party member dies, you gain your maximum stacks in Elusive and a bonus to damage.
Cunning + 3
This ability removes Vendetta from enemies to grant you elusive, which fully negates the next attack against you.

 

Nothing is better, than enemies not being able to hit you

some girl has put a spell on you,

 

you need to kiss the sky or you'll never know if its tomorrow or just the end of time

That's interesting, but how the heck did I get Isabela's passive on my single-player warrior playthrough? And as handy as it is, how the hell do I get rid of it? The noise is, I'm not kidding, driving me bonkers.

Doesn't one of the new skill upgrades say it gives you Elusive? Check Cole's abilities and see if he's the one doing it.

Toxic Cloud, I believe. I don't know why it wouldn't actually show the stacks at the bottom of the HUD though.

Isn't it that little purple thing by ability wheel (I'm not really familiar with the controller interface, so I don't know exactly how it works)?

It seems related, but it's not what an Elusive stack looks like, no. At least not in MP. They appear as three coins at the bottom middle of the screen, where the Inquisitor's legs are.

Could it be from an item introduced by Trespasser? Maybe some trial reward? I equipped The Best Defense shield on Cassandra and now we're all pulsing with white light.

Most likely, I think. I'm not sure which one though, I've barely tried any of them out yet. On that note, does anyone know what "binding an enemy with Evil Eye" does on that... organic greatsword? Also, ew. It has an eye.

Yep, it's Toxic Cloud - the new upgrade option allows your party to have Evade. It seems to be glitched on my system, though; it's supposed to last for a couple of seconds but it literally lasted for an hour through cut scenes and all that malarky. The only thing that solved it was going back to a save before I set Cole's abilities and switching to the other upgrade - a pain, but the droning's gone at least.

 

Thanks for everyone who gave ideas and options - it's much appreciated!

i am having this trouble too....but whats weird is that for me the only companion with toxic cloud active is varric but i havent upgraded toxic cloud to 'stacks if elusive' state yet and still i have this bug...i have restarted the game and went to skyhold and what not but it stays on...that sound though!!...its toooo much of an annoyance...unlike the OP i dont have a previous save though...so anyone got any way around this bug!?...

[NagarAsh]

okay!!   

apparently this worked for me (so that others can get this buzzzzz to stop..): i just went back to the location this ability bug started (for me it was crestwood) and stripped my inquisitor, varric and cole of all equipment and abilities (zero on em all) and then went and got some enemies to attack (there was no need to die or get any companion killed) and the ability is gone for good ...

That's the intended behavior. Like the stealth granted by Skirmisher and Shot from the Shadows, elusive stacks granted by Lost in the Mist persist until used. The stacks are applied every few seconds in Toxic Cloud, but they don't have a duration cap.

Every time you get hit, 1 stack of elusive will absorb the blow. So all you really need to do is run up to an enemy and hug it until all the stacks are gone.

eh!...before i started seaching google about this trouble and then came here and all i did try hugging and kissing all enemies i could but the stacks just kept building up endlessly!! [i.e: never climbed down from 3 stacks for me, 2 stacks for varric (the bugger who caused me the buggery bug...) and 3 for cole (who just happened to me in the party...); the 3rd companion was unaffected by it at all for some reason..] o.O

Does Quick Save/Quick Load clear the Elusive stack, or no?

well as far as what happened with the OP or me, nope...neither that nor does restarting the game/coming to main menu then continuing...

[Sarezar]

Why would they add a sound effect on it when it doesn't wear off until you get hit?? From the Hinterlands to the War Room, I hear a constant Buzzzzzzzzzzzzz I want to rip my speakers off!!!!!

Hi m8

 

i know exactly where u r getting at but..have mercy on them poor speakers though

 

wasnt keeping up with this thread coz i had my trouble solved..theres no specific solution i came around after all the searching and asking around (last i asked at ea's DAI forums as a bug topic) and the only solution that was viable after all was dont invest any points into the passive or the active part of that ability..its not any good of an ability anyways too (there r far better abilities/combinations...)
