I wasn't so much saying that we need attention in a fixing sense,
so much as attention in the "now what did we break with bards"
sense. Most changes in the game to other classes usually turn
around and bite us in the tush, due to lack of testing. And it's
always a surprise to the coders, and completely unintentional -
which makes me wonder how familiar they are with their own design
and/or whether they have patched it up so bad that it is a mess now.

It obviously, never crossed the minds of the programmers/designers/
testers internally that fixing levitate on casters would eventually
'fix' levitate on bards. Nor did they realize it with SoW/Selos.

I am not pronouncing radical change, I'd just like someone over
there to sit down and think very carefully for a second whether
or not Bards get the skill they are about the change. This
clearly is not happening during internal testing. And there's
no one to blame but Verant for this.

If only my girlfriend would let me move to San Digeo. I have
all the background they need for another mud game coder. <sigh>
