I've noticed the same thing from time to time, though I haven't investigated it further yet.

I've noticed the wards not showing up in the Scintillating Prism area, where Heather Townshend is. I thought maybe there was a reason, but now I imagine it's just a bug.
Edit: I seem to recall that a player logging onto a character in a particular spot can sometimes cause certain non-enemies to despawn just like they were enemies (the target dummies in the Vanguard base in the RWZ come to mind). Maybe this is whats happening here? I'll have to log out at a ward location and log back in to see if this happens.
Yeah I've had it happen a fair amount too. It seems like any time I come to DA via Base Portal (pops you out at the Bulwark) or 'teleport to contact' via Ouroboros (Heather) the glyphs won't load. In fact it seems like the extraneous NPCs in the spot don't load either, whenever I teleport to Heather it's just her by herself.
I'm thinking its a bug.
You're not seeing the wards, but the wards see you.
... and tell June, too.
(On the serious side - they pop in fairly late for me as I approach them.)
Run away and back. They are inexplicably on the same spawning cycle as 'sometimes NPCs' that are static entities which have a (usually high) probability to show up so that the city doesn't look unnatural with that same guy on the corner all the time.
Unfortunately this gets applied to things that should always show up: DA warding glyphs; RWZ base dummies; Acantha in Imperial City.
Go ahead and bug it, but it's the type of bug I've never seen them fix.

OK, this has been going on for a while now. Every now and then, I'd go into DA and those big glowing yellow wards at The Bulwak site (ie the Hospital area) are missing. Is this due to some sort of zone effect from the new story arcs or zone kill quotas? It doesn't seem to be hero or villain or server or specific character related because I've brought in multiple characters to check. Note, I do see the wards at the other sites. What's going on?
