Subject: [eqbards] Letter to GZ - final draft I hope
From: Greg Gillan <
GGillan@...>
Okay, here's what I'm hoping is the final draft. Unless there are any major
complaints, I'll fire this off to GZ before I leave work today.
Elwyn Heartstring
Level 44 Bard
Erollisi Marr
--------------------------------------------------
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 mid to 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. 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.
7) It has been the case (since release) that playing Selo's when in an
outdoor zone, would 'break' the effects of the root spell. With a recent
patch, this is no longer the case. Was it a bug that it broke root
originally, or is it a bug that now it doesn't? When could we expect a fix
for this if it is a bug?
8) Our instument skills cap at 200. After level 40, our songs get more
difficult to play, but our skills do not increase to match. This can result
in 15-20 missed notes from high level songs in one battle. Why do our
skills cap at such a level that our high level songs become difficult to
play, let alone stack? This doesn't seem to make sense, as casters magic
skills (evokation, conjuration, etc.) cap at 250 or so.
