After seeing some of the abilties of bards (Thanks to Kamilah!) I definately won't be jumping up and down as a test subject.

Acrobatics’ sounds awesome, and powerful, are they restricted to 'leather armor only' or can they wear greatrobes too?

The abilities that require leather armor don't seem to be working to even test if they work with greatrobes

Did the Divine even test the abilities before they released them?

They always do, there's usually a lot of little things that crop up that can't be foreseen though. One such unforeseen thing might be that people whose names start with N cause untrapped errors in the bardic code when they use the abilities.

Makes me glad you didn't win the election then.


I'm excited about bards, not that I'd leave for them, but it'd be a fun thing to make an alt on and play around with.

Something new to be excited about, artisans can now make lyres.

Bah. I'm really know I shouldn't make an alt to try them out, but my self-restraint levels are low right now, and 4 weeks is such a long time...

Come now! Of course we did!

Unfortunately, not everything can be thoroughly tested, and during the chaos of releasing and "polishing", new bugs may crop up.

What may seem like "major bugs" in effect really are quite minor and most have already been fixed. However, by releasing bards as slowly as we are and allowing the first members to test things out per guild, I think is quite a nice way to test the waters. (I just hope we don't find any sharks in said waters....)

The only skills I've seen are something that causes 'achromatic aura', and one very, very powerful version of lovers/lust.

So powerful it stops rolling, tumbling, leaping, walking, flying, burrowing, tree climbing, spores, teleport...

*plead*


The wait is killllllllllllllllling me Estarra, deeeeep inside, I couldn't sleep last night because of all the twisting and turning, I kept dreaming about the Bards Guild and how wonderful it is, I don't know how I will last, if I could wish for anything it would be a cryogenic chamber that I can put myself in for 2 weeks and then wake up and have it be the time. It is horrible, my heartrate is all fast, I can't eat, can't think. My poor patients at work will suffffer! SUFFER! They'll be like J'Andra! I'm having chest pain!

I'll be like what? Meh, sip some health potion, and I'll walk away and the'll die! The wait... it is killing me slowly. *sniffle*

...did you just hear that, or did you actually have that happen to you? Cause I dunno anyone who would have used that on you for you to experience it... and i'm fairly certain you're wrong.

Ialie

You're scary.

I wub you. xD

Divine Troubleshooting.

So far all instruments are String instruments. Will there be any other types of instruments to be made? (At least Wind, for pipes, flutes, and such?)

I wonder if there's a way to multiple bardic effects...that is, a sort of coven. It would be fun to see bards acting as a group, similar to a marching band.

Maybe if you get a dozen together it could be the opposite of a killing moon, peacing an area or something like that, or putting everybody to sleep in a room. The more bards you have, the higher the effect or something like that.

Just something to keep in mind:

Serenwilde bards who don't get transmigrate have no way of being ressed, due to lack of totems for resurgem (similar to trackers).

Glomdoring bards who don't get transmigrate have no way of being ressed, due to the lack of crow for darkrebirth (similar to shadowdancers and night ebonguard).

Magnagora bards have no way of being ressed, due to the lack of necromancy for lich (similar to geos).

Celest bards are still fine for ressing, due to sacrifice and resurrect in sacraments.

That's annoying. Tempting to keep Ecology, but Illusions is just too cool.

Half of the beauty of the game is making decisions like that
