Miscellaneous: List of Bard issues

[Lazortag]

All of the bugs in this thread are still around to my knowledge, except that the disappearing casting bar bug is a bit misrepresented.

There are a lot of other little bugs/issues that I've made threads about, but instead of bumping 50 threads every week I've decided to just make one thread for them. I've separated the bugs into different categories too; please post more Bard-related issues that you can think of:

Minor Bugs

Shield of Song: makes an annoying noise when cast, and displays its message once for every group member, neither of which are intended (thread)

Shield of Song has a healing effect which it should not have (thread)

Bard mez spells incorrectly have a level cap of 55 in pvp, when they should not have a level cap in pvp at all (thread)

Denon's Bereavement (and all other ae dots) does full damage even if the mob is moving, when it should only do 2/3 damage (no thread yet)

Denon's Bereavement lasts too long (thread)

Denon's Bereavement's stun effect lasts too long.

Instrument modifiers no longer apply on DOT's that are still going if the Bard zones (thread)

Fizzle rate seems suspiciously high even at higher levels (not sure if it's really a bug, but here's the thread)

Selo's Accelerando and Selo's Song of Travel don't stack properly (here and here)

More complicated bugs

Bind sight is horribly broken in lots of different ways (thread)

Song of Twilight should have a "pulling" effect (thread with more detailed explanation)

Crission's Pixie Strike should have a "push" effect (I couldn't find a good thread about this that explained it well, but here's a discussion on it)

Shauri's Sonorous Clouding has no effect if it reapplies after you right click a merchant/banker while it's on (no thread yet; but basically, if you have it passively casting, and right click a merchant/banker while it's on, it breaks invis as normal, but when the song refreshes itself, you don't get an invis effect; you get little brackets around your name as if you were invis, but PC's and NPC's can still see you)

Right clicking Breath of Harmony before playing a song (presumably by pressing a hotkey right after right-clicking) causes the spell gems to grey out if the song fizzles, which should only happen if a song is playing (no thread yet, but I'm sure every Bard with BoH knows exactly what I'm talking about)

Bard Songs are still not going into the main buff window, with some exceptions (notably Selo's Accelerando and Kazumi's Note of Preservation)

Edit:

-Selo's Chords of Cessation won't stack with Selo's Assonant Strane. This seems wrong since Selo's Consonant Chain stacks with Selo's Chords of Cessation.

Selo's Assonant Strane (54) is hasting mobs rather than slowing them. Only the snare component of the song is working properly.

Another issue: Jonthan's Inspiration (and possibly the entire Jonthan's line) works on pets in group, but not on charmed pets. Also, if you target someone and have the song passively cast on them (ie just cast it and keep the song going without ever interrupting them), the next time the buff is applied, it applies on you instead of your target.

Kelin's Lugubrious Lament stops passively casting if the mob goes outside of LOS, which shouldn't happen since the song doesn't require LOS (if the mob stays in LOS it does keep passively casting like bard songs do). This used to work as intended before but has recently (as recently as a few patches ago) become broken.

I think this is universal to all fear spells, but if I am fear kiting a mob and the mob begins to flee, it will still hit me with one round of attacks once the fear song breaks, even if it's at 1%.

Additionally (and this is probably related to the selo's stacking problem), the "you slow down" message is frequently out of sync with the actual selo's buff leaving. Frequently, Selo's will wear off, the buff icon leaves, and I will be running at normal speed, but it can sometimes take up to two ticks to receive the "you slow down" message.

Two more issues:

-Song of Highsun is currently day-only, yet I know at some point it becomes usable at any time of day. Anyone know when this was?

-Selo's Chords of Cessation won't stack with Selo's Assonant Strane. This seems wrong since Selo's Consonant Chain stacks with Selo's Chords of Cessation.

Here's another one:

Bards drowning in kedge may be a bug worth looking into. Then again, maybe the bard is just nub.

You started summoning fire pets and going up to Phinny and melee-ing him, you got everyone summoned and killed, the only mistake I made was giving you guys manasong and putting myself on his aggro list when you'd already wiped three times (no joke)

edit: I know it's not the place for it but I need to make sure that everyone knows that it's you who's the nub, not me

What a terrible terrible UI.

[Lazortag]

Can a moderator clean up this thread please? ie by permanantly deleting Nalkin's post and all of the ones that came after? I'm hoping this thread will catch on and more bugs will be posted here for the devs' convenience.

The only thing I could find regarding highsun is an entry in lucy where the time restriction was changed from day to any on August 14th 2002. There was in fact a patch on the day but it's not in the patch notes (not that all changes are obv).

I'm pretty sure you can only have 1 slow effect on a mob at a time, and since both of those songs have slow effects they should not stack.

Some call it bugs, some call it skill. Tomato tomato imo.
