Subject: RE: Limit on song memorization


Its ridiculous to even talk about us needing more slots when almost all the
mage clases receive 10 to 20 new spells every 4 levels. It does stink that
we take so long to mem songs, especially the new ones. But I wonder if its
intelligence based, level based, or usage based. If we sit and mem a song
over and over does the time improve? Thats the way many games used to work.
I am also ticked that when Verant patched last week to 'fix' the missed
notes on higher level songs, I now miss notes on all my songs even Selo and
Hymn. I never use to miss notes on Chain till this patch, anyone else having
a problem twisting because of this? It throws my whol rhythm if I miss a
note and then have to re-sing the song.

Another feature I would like to see is a pop-up to one side that has all the
pet commands. Anytime you have a pet to control either you have this popup
or a button like social that lists all the pet commands.

I'd like to see 8 more bubbles on the right side of the screen opposite the
8 we all have now. Verant could even make it so that it's a level thing that
you couldn't use the other 8 spots until say level such and such (15+) like
dual wield. Makes sense. You get more experienced and are able to remember
more songs. Especially if you've been playing the first 8 songs for 15+
levels of your life.

I'd disagree here. Spellcasting classes use spells all of their lives and
normally have much higher INT/WIS stats than we as Bards do. Thus it would
make more sense for them to be able to expand their # of memorized spells
than not.
