Game Mechanics: Bards Not working Right

[Uthgaard]

The tick timer goes 00:12, 00:06, 00:00. 00:00 is 6 seconds long just like the other 2. 18 seconds starts at 00:12. That's 3 ticks. If it started at 00:18, you'd have 4 ticks and 24 seconds.

I never "flamed" anyone over it, and I did test it. Learn to read:

Alright, I'm sorry, I feel like an idiot. I assumed everyone I was mezzing was just dotted, ...

By the way, the first time I ever responded to this "bug" was a day ago, so no, I haven't been saying it was fine for a whole week. I just assumed my fellow players were honest and that they were breaking out of my mezzes due to dotting themselves. This is a fair assumption at my level; also since it was working in PvE it was hard to grasp that it wouldn't work in PvP. I guess I was wrong; this says more about the people who chose to continue exploiting this than it does about me.

The first one should be the same for both bards and casters. Otherwise you take out the entire strategy of PvP in dungeons.

Do you zone in under 12 seconds? This would be the only way to test this, since all of our songs fade in 12 seconds.

Not sure on the faction one, but the few times I tried it for selling, my faction never appeared to go up.

Some zones i zone under 12 sec. I tried to find patch notes for any changes but couldnt find any. DA song and zoning was always a strat and the use of the long selos to get to PoM in ToV.

lazortag why do you keep the same schtik up, every thread its like you're angsty because no one recognizes you as some mystical player who has commandeered the skill of 10 men as a bard. Relax dude, no one really cares - chill.

4. Bard faction song does not work (I've been rigorously testing this .. before I go to cb, I'll sing this song on a kelethin npc to see if faction changes, go to cb, come back and see if faction should have changed from the song) because I want my smithing expenses lowered.

5. Elemental rhythms and purifying rhythms do not stack

6. Bard songs do not last through zones for the last few seconds, such as selos

7. Bard AE mez not lasting as long as intended (I haven't tested this)

There's been no official response in any of these unless I missed something.. :/ show us some love

Resist songs not stacking is crucial, selos shouldn't last through zone that was added later, no comment on bard AE mez or faction

Yeah I remember using Selo's Chorus for dungeons an awful lot. But that was what, Luclin? Still.

[xblade724]

keep this post bumped instead of a bunch of small ones. I wonder if OP could update the list of issues?

[Albane]

Great job on combining everything xblade724.

I am not sure that Rhythms ever stacked with other Rhythms. I know you can stack them with Psalms though, to make one type of resistance really high.
