Subject: RE: [eqbards] New patch message


I can tell you the name of all 41 songs that I've purchased and scribed. I
don't think it's that hard. Especailly compared to casters.

Bards get 49 songs at level 50.
EVERY pure caster has over 100.
Enchanters (having the most) are near 160.

Have you ever seen a high level caster spell refered to in a patch message
as "The high level mez spell"? Maybe upset is the wrong word, but annoyed
certainly rings true. They're writing a patch message. It's not like someone
says to Abashi (or whoever writes these things) "we changed the high level
bard song." He should get a list of changes, or if it happens in a meeting,
he should be taking notes. Secondly, it was a four hour patch, he could have
looked up the name of the song in 35 seconds. I just find it somewhat
insulting that they can look up the name of 15 spells for casters to say
they adjusted the recast time or whatever, then they refer to our song as
"The higher level bard song by Brusco". Maybe I could understand it if this
song were quested or a drop off a mob, but it's sold at the vendor, so
there's no need for mystery.

Maybe I'm just having a pissy day.

How many of our bards could tell you off the top of their head the name of
their songs?
I can't tell you what the exact name of Faesong's underwater breath song is.
I'm not
even quite sure what the full name of "Anthem" is without looking it up.

There are quite enough things to get upset at Verant about without
stretching to come up with more.
