This is the reality bards will face.

Bards need to learn to play nice, call out pulls... tell others they can strip mobs if needed and not pull near or over groups.

If these rules were followed , this patch wouldn't have been an issue.

P.S. I play a bard as well , before you all get offended, just stating the painful truth.

Not offended at all. I grouped til 34, when I stopped being able to get them. I did OT on red during times when there was max 1-2 other people in zone. I then did spirocs which were empty entirely. I agree with what you're saying, but:

1. I can say 100% I've personally never interfered with exp by pulling too many mobs and
2. On red we're not as densely populated, so it's not as much of an issue.

I think you're confusing politeness with functionality. I don't call out pulls, but I also don't pull so many mobs to my swam that groups in the zone complain about not finding anything.

The functionality was lost with the mix up making it more difficult to kite. It gives a much needed break to some zones but also causes many bards to sit LFG or jump onto other characters.

Thought this server had a play nice policy? That in my book would include politeness.

Enough about that.

This patch was and I know the devs won't come right out and say it , but a way to like you said "It gives a much needed break to some zones but also causes many bards to sit LFG or jump onto other characters."

I also think it was a way to let the bards know that the recent disrespect of other players while these bards were kiting during double exp weekend will not be tolerated and it can be taken away just as easy. Just because you can do something does not mean you have to be a total asshat/greedy f**k to other players while doing it.


P.S. Like i said before not everyone is this way, but the few that are ruin it for others.

The speed changes were unintended. I spent 4 hrs getting issues straightened out in the code. You are now at Rogean's mercy for a patch.

Okay, well this disproves my argument.

Don't worry. When we nerf bards, it will be more obvious.

This is by far the best thing I've read on these forums.

Thank you Haynar for allowing the the public to know it was unintentional.

Being new to Project 1999 how soon have you historically deployed a patch to something like this? Does something breaking a section of game call for a faster deployment or does the stability and greater good for all push something like this to the next more scheduled maintenance window?

Thanks for the hard work and quick response Haynar.
