Are we then assuming that Selo's was never supposed to break root, and that
that "feature" was in fact a bug?

Subject: [eqbards] Letter to GZ - Draft 3
From: Greg Gillan <
GGillan@...>
Okay, I haven't been at the office for a few days (which is where I do all
of my emailing), but I'm back now and have a revised version of the letter
than I'll be sending to GZ. The point on Selo's and SoW cancelling it has
been removed, as a fix for this has been put in with the last patch.
I almost took out the point about our skills capping too low, as a few
people felt that 40 foraging is adequate, but more people seemed to agree
that this skill caps too low to be useful, so I'm leaving it. I've added a
point regarding the lack of instrument information when right clicking on a
song in our spellbooks (as suggested by John).
I'm starting to lose my steam on this now, so if there are no further
comments/corrections/suggestions/ additions, this will be the version that I
send in.

--------------------------------------------------
1) Several of our songs (levels 39, 45, 47, 49) don't seem to be in the
game. We would like to know when we can expect these to be implemented. If
they are indeed in the game already (perhaps discovered via quests) please
at least let us know that they exist. We don't need to know how/where to
get them, or even what they are, but we don't want to waste our time
questing for something that isn't there.
2) The level 22 song Alenias Disenchanting Melody currently seems to have no
effect whatsoever. This has been tested repeatedly by many, many bards. It
does not dispel effects on group members (as we thought it should) nor does
it protect in any way from harmful effects. Can you please confirm whether
this song is broken or not? When can we expect a fix?
3) You've mentioned in the past that the messed up drum graphic (it now
looks like we strum a small twig) will be corrected in an upcoming graphics
patch. We realize a graphics patch is large, and hence cannot be done
regularily, but could we please get an estimate on roughly when we can
expect this glitch to be fixed? In addition, a recent patch made an
equipped mino horn look like we have a small burlap sack embedded in our
wrists.
4) There seems to be an absense of any high level bard quests. Is there any
implementation planned for these? When might we expect them?
5) Spellcasters, when they right click on a spell can see what skill the
spell uses, along with its casting time. Why doesn't the bard spell book
show what instrument skill is required when you right click on a song?
6) Some of our skills (Hiding, Forage) cap at such low levels, that they
aren't worth using. We don't need to be master of these, but if the caps
were raised such that at least they worked more than
1 out of 20 times, we might consider putting them back into our hot keys.
