There was a time way back when, when the Calimshan Hunter rare in IC was a good find. He's still super rare but his eq is so crappy now its not even worth killing him. How about a boost on that crap You recite a scroll of identify which turns to dust in your hands. You feel informed: Object 'buffalo...

If equipment stats are being changed to reflect how tough the item is to get, then it seems like tiamat equipment should be almost infinitely good since the only way to get the items is to trade for them and I don't think too many more tia item trades are gonna happen.

I think the most frustrating thing with the class has to be accompany. First of all it takes forever to get the dumb skill up..and you need another bard that's willing to hang out all day and let you accomp him..Would be nice if both the bards involved had a chance to have accompany up. In addition,...

Allycis

or at least change the name to what the song really is

song of magic missile

Allycis

song of protection is gonna go unused..how about giving it a chance to tower of iron will or at least reduce psi damage in some way at higher levels

also would be cool if the songs could hit the pets of the people you're grouped with

Allycis

song of pleasantries

charm other players into saying crap they don't want to say! i'd never leave DK if we could just have that

When the American colonies were breaking away from England, they hated the British so much that they had a vote among the political leaders whether to make German or English the language of the new nation, and English won by just one vote

How about making bard haste last longer, so the a bard can put haste up and switch songs, but with the haste continuing through a relatively short fight

Allycis

how about making it just long enough that it would be unwise to res someone mid fight or would not allow you to drag them out, res and have them come back in for same fight

hmm 2 minutes?

Ok i did some averages...on song of offensive harmony (I have 99 melee songs, 99 drums) with a 40 bchanter accompanying me i average +2hit +1dam better. So basically for adding another bard to the group we get an additional 2hit 1dam..seems like any other class on the mud would be more useful than a...

Allycis

maybe there's a problem with battlechanters that isn't a problem with bards? That would seem odd to me but i've never seen accompany do anything positive

Allycis

Your quickening chant fills your cohort with awesome determination. Your song dramatically increases the movements of your companions!

Or how about just making accompany virtuoso and all of the song skills charisma based

Allycis

another annoying thing about accompany is when i stop playing a song to switch to a different one if the other dude picks up the verse then i can't start the next one til he stops singing....and everyone knows that bard is afk so he's not gonna stop

Allycis

di ,dm, create food, create water all second circle...how about moving create food/water to 3rd circle which has nothing in it

same for bards with minor creation

Minotaur!

I think muspel is a pretty cool zone and i like that there's tons of quests to do. My only complaint would be that if the zone eq is going to be based primarily on quests you do in the zone, maybe there should be more quests that can be done entirely with items from muspel so that there is more of a...

Allycis

well accompany doesn't seem to make too much of a difference when i get accompanied, but i haven't grouped with anyone who had it real high. I have practiced it a ton and the last time i sat around and practiced it for about 20 hours it didn't go up once, but the skill is only at 78. As far as I can...

Allycis

seems that rogues on average get less swings per round using bard haste than with the haste spell. Dunno if anyone can confirm or deny that, or whether something is wrong with the song or its supposed to be that way. Might be same for other classes that get 2 offhand swings? not sure

Allycis

hehe i've got a list from an old tiamat run that joth led

more old school names that haven't popped up that were there
Joth

Song of Confusion
chance to make mobs attack each other..good times!

Allycis

new complaint with accompany...i can't judge the increase in strength really cuz there aren't many other battlechanters to use it with near my level. But i just practiced it for 4 and a half hours and it didn't go up once. The skill is at 78 so i doubt that is the max. It's pretty tough to get the s...

Allycis

how about making song of harming a lower level spell so that the little bardies have something to use for damage...and then at level 50 or something making another song that is similar but does more damage and possibly an additional effect. more powerful versions of lower level songs might be cool b...

Allycis

how about when song of revelation is going ultravision folks can see in the daylight

Allycis

maybe allow for rogue skills and spells to be used while singing? not like the rogue skills or spells are really that strong that it would be super overpowered

Allycis

you get a bunch of rogue skills but you can't use any of them while singing and they all cap at like 30 you get a bunch of spells that you can use a certain number of times per day, but can't cast while you're singing the only songs that ever seem to get used are healing, sorcery, and defensive harm...

Allycis

I'm extremely disappointed with the class. They underwent a huge overhaul yet still i see them as the worst class on the mud.

Half the songs go unused and accompany barely does anything despite needing 2 of the class to use it.

Allycis

Allycis

how about making it give squids more than it does the bard/bchanter...cuz they have a ton of mana and right now it makes almost no difference for them at all

i get asked to do zones...sometimes i have the time to go. I have fun playing a bard but i think it will be more fun as things progress. sometimes its hard to tell just how helpful some of these songs are and i wish the sorcery effect on the power of specialized spells it supposedly has was a little...

Allycis

its a real pain to make the skill go up...
how about making it so that when you accompany both you and the person you are accompanying have a chance to improve the skill

Allycis

how about making regeneration or renewal make ress effects disappear way faster! i've always thought mass resses made this game much more boring than it had to be and this is an opportunity to make things not so bad!

Allycis

i'd just like to say, i put more time in on ship than prolly anyone else on the mud doing nothing and i'd like to nominate myself for new ship captain in the upcoming election

Allycis

song of defensive harmony + illithids here's some skills i thought should be affected if i understood and you did want defensive illithid skills to be effected: sense danger, body control, catfall, flesh armor, equalibrium, tower of iron will, stasis field... just a thought but i like the idea of il...

Allycis

Accompany problems i see so far 1) song not getting more powerful 2) doesn't give you a message when you've stopped accompanying 3) after you've stopped (it doesn't list it in score anymore) if you try to redo it it says that person is already being accompanied. 4) crash master general? played with ...

Allycis

I know you're tired of people bitching about goodies getting mounted combat, but song of defensive harmony makes it go up which doesn't benefit evils at all..For a happy counterpart maybe battlechanter version could increase the defensive skills of illithids...although i know it says physical combat...

Allycis

what about a song of recovery? makes you recover faster from effects like res, major para (including thrym proc), poison..things like that

Allycis

It might make sense, but its really annoying that it makes you hungry and thirsty everytime it goes off.. As much as i like carrying around 3 tankards and a bag with 500 food in it, it's quite annoying and seems unnecessary

Allycis

sucks when everyone wants you to sing and you're too lazy to assist and then disengage every 3 rounds...cuz when you sing..regardless of what song you get almost no experience..I got 2 notches on ship in 3 hours...then i started assisting and i got 4 notches in 20 minutes

Allycis

How about throwing battlechanters/bards a bone while we wait for upgrades...Like maybe some way of getting exp from singing? Right now my battlechanter is not much of a hitter so no damage exp there. Song of harming is only damage song and it does nothin, don't get exp any other way i can tell excep...

Allycis

collect all the black swords and pass them out for people to keep in their bags so the number fluctuates a ton! yeah woo!

Allycis

help fortitude
help battle hymn
help bard and help battlechanter need to be updated. Some skills missing on there that we actually do get

Allycis

How about some cool bard wear..It's the worst class in the game...how about an instrument weapon combination item? it'd have to be drum if you wanted bchanters to be able to use it to...
