There's nothing in the text of the Invisibility condition that says you cannot be seen.

There's been some debate about the Hide action and the Invisible condition. Basically, when you succeed on a DC 15 stealth check in three-quarters cover or heavily obscured, you get the Invisible condition. The text states that it ends when you make a sound louder than a whisper, an enemy finds...

In fact, the text of the Invisible condition specify that "You aren't affected by any effect that requires its target to be seen unless the effect's creator can somehow see you." Also, "Attack rolls against you have Disadvantage, and your attack rolls have Advantage. If a creature can somehow...

This is a reversal of cause and effect. New D&D "Invisible" does not mean "cannot be seen." It only means "unseen." Too see something invisible means it is no longer invisible. In fact, the text of the Invisible condition even contemplates something with the Invisible condition being seen.

Why are people assuming that the new Search action is the only way for an enemy to "find you?" It's not. It's one way, but there are plenty of others. The rule only says "Make a note of your check's total, which is the DC for a creature to find you with a Wisdom (perception) check." An enemy...

Advantage on any saving throw you make to end the grappled condition. To me, this is probably a straight-up error in the Goliath entry. Ending the grappled condition is a check, not a saving throw, in the new rule (which is good for folks with proficiency in athletics or acrobatics). I don't...

Feats seem to be baked into the rules now, and multiclassing is the same (optionality-wise).

Alas, no Booming or Green Flame

Yes, they should work together fine. True strike specifies that you attack with a weapon, and the masteries specify when you hit with a weapon attack (or make a weapon attack for some)

The requirement it has to understand you is gone!

There are actually a lot of examples of play in those first chapters that illustrate skills pretty well. A little fun fact: all the examples are taken from Curse of Strahd!

Having read the new PHB, I am inclined to agree. I get the sense that the starting chapter about rules is just enough to orient a beginning player, but there is a ton of "The DM will know what to do..." baked in. There are even a few parts where it says "See the DMG for more info about X..."

"Tendrils of the World Tree extend from you..."

I believe so. See this screenshot:
