Subject: RE: [eqbards] Official confirmation from Ester


Well, there it is.

We have 2 options. Roll over and die or Fight it. As a bard, I've had more
than my share of dying, so I say we fight it.

So far several issues are unaddressed.

They said it's "working as intended" but they haven't told us what intended
is. We need to press them to find out what the expected resist rates are so
we can do our own testing. All we know is that the song is supposed to be
more effective vs mobs below level 30. Let's hammer that datapoint until we
can prove to them that they are wrong.

The other thing abashi said is that he did a test personally and found that
resist rates on mobs below 30 conform to GZ's statement on resist rates. I
think we need to increase the sample size and prove him wrong.

Here's what I propose...
I'd like everyone to spend 5 minutes in your local newbie area singing
Lullaby to snakes, bats, rats, decaying skeletons, or whatever level 1
critter you can find. Log the results and we'll start a thread to post them
on. If we all do this every night, we'll get a huge sample size that will
acurately show the resist rates. Make sure you post your bard's level as
well as the log file.

If we keep the pressure on, perhaps they will realize their error.
