Subject: The GM was taking survey last night. you need to read this!!! l ong text.


Hello Everyone,

I am a Bard and a Rogue. This is the reason why I send this message out to
2 list.
Last night when we were having network problem, I was still on as my bard in
Nfreeport. I was running then suddenly a GM start asking me these survey
question about the bard.

I do not know if it is a she or a he:
Do you still like your bard? ( I am at lvl 19 right now)
My answer: I loved the bard and still does.

What so special about the bard that you like?
My answer: It is so diversify even though we are not good at any one thing
but we can mostly do it
all at a very low skill.

What do you think of the bard compare to SK, Warriors, Rogue, and Wizards?
My answer: I do not know about the other class but I have played as a
rogue. I played as a rogue originally but after reaching lvl 17 I find it
not as fun anymore. The skill are broken. Nothing to look forward to
beyond lvl 17 so I created this bard. I was not expecting much. I was
testing out this class but now I loved it. it takes a lot of patience to
play a bard well because every song is different and each apply differently
in different situation. I still used my lvl 1 and 7 songs.

Would you want to play any of those classes?
My answer: I said not really. I am having too much fun with my bard.

How does a bard fit into a group?
My answer: People do not understand what a bard does for group. We can
heal, buff, debuff, speed, and attack also. But people would rather have
the 3 most important class first before considering the bard: Warriors like
( Warriors, Monk, Paladin, SK, Rangers), Clerics, Magic class (Magicians,
wizards, Necromancer)

What is the bard favorite weapon?
My answer: We do not have a specific weapon. We used what ever is
available to us. But I would not mind having a special instrument
implemented.

What extra would you like to see in the bard (Teleportation, some other
stuff I cannot remember)?
My answer: I would not mind having bind. It would makes our travel a lot
easier.

Then the person says thanx and that was it.
I think this person seek me out because there was a lot of complaint about
bard after reaching lvl 20. Also that I do /guildsay after I do something
amazing like kill 2 orc priest at one time with losing only 1/2 of my health
"It is good to be a wood elf bard."

I think they (Verant) do care about our opinion.
To the rogues: Maybe it is taking them a long time to implement what they
promise. Lets keep our finger cross.

All of these answers are my opinion of the class and experience. I know I
have very little of it because I am only lvl 19. Only if those mages would
stop stealing my kills then maybe I might be able to lvl a little faster.
