Bards

KingMort · #1 01-02-2009, 01:26 AM

I played a bard on Live since Jan 2001, so if any devs wish to pick my brain concerning bards please PM me or see me in IRC..

Currently I have noticed there are several issues twisting , forced to use /stopsong alot... Also Melody was working before but for some reason it's not now??

Also Swarm Kiting doesn't work.. the mobs don't react like they do on live when I swarm kite.. I charm mob , send it after the other mob but the other mob.. They fight but the rest of the swarm ignores their fight.. and just keeps running at me..

Hey KingMort,

Didn't they stop using / client commands for eqemu due to insufficient op_codes? I do believe #->server side commands are used! Commands like #melody, etc.

I thought that in an effort to be more like live the bard was left intentionally broke

Nah, really I have nothing to add.

Well , I don't think there is a bard on Live that doesn't use melody... Veteran or N00b... It sort of makes it so you don't get carpal-tunnel hehe !

Would love to see that come back...

yeah there is no #melody atm.. so not sure whatsup.. It used to work like I said in eqemu..

#melody kinda works. If you do the following:

#melody 1 2 4 6
/cast 1
/cast 2
/cast 4
/cast 6

Stopping it is a pain though - I seem to have to mash #melody several times and then a harmless song at least 5 times to make it stop.

Thats creative , I will mention that to the bards who play on my server thanks

Anyway what I really would love to get working is Swarm Kiting..

It seems the npc's don't have enough interest in the charmed pet they stick with going after the owner... Is there a rule that can be adjusted with this new agro system without messing everything up??
