Sorry, I just got back from the good ol' USA to Japan. All updates will be done tonight JPN time. I'll make sure I get everything I can find on here.

<333 you guys!

Some of the things in the original post have been fixed by the way (like the bind sight song), so to save the devs the headache of sifting through what's been fixed/what hasn't, you might want to change that as well.

Also, we all totally thought you were dead.

Update, 29 Sep 2010

Added to Bugs:
-Solon's Bewitching Bravura (39 Charm) Mana Cost.

Added to Fixed:
-Bard Mana Regeneration.

-Songs wearing off on recast.

-Lyssa's Solidarity of Vision.

As a side note, I really believe the charm bug needs to be looked at. It is at this point a huge single point of failure for the bard class. I have supplied more than enough evidence to prove this. Also, it's been a while since the last update so if I missed anything please don't be shy about letting me know. Thank you!

The Mez song having no push component is not listed in your official list.

To me, it's the most important one as it is a great pulling tool.

cheers

Hey Astuce, is that push component classic? I'll do the research tonight (if you guys haven't done it) when I come home. If someone wants though they can write up a bug report on it with *facts* on it. I've tried writing bug reports based on player experience and they don't give a hoot.

But I'll look into it A.S.A.P.

Earliest thing I could find is from the first archived instance of eqdiva.com on

28 Crisson's Pixie Strike Mesmerize (up to 15 seconds), lower magic resistance (up to 20 points), knock-back effect to target T W


So it's from March 8th, 2001. The song was never changed, all our early single target mez songs had a knock back or knock forward effect, if you look at:

53 Song of Twilight Target: Mesmerize up to 15 seconds, Decrease MR (15), Knock-forward Effect; Upgrade to Crission's Pixie Strike, and less resisted than its predecessor. Caution: Will override Enchanter's mesmerize spells.

Hopefully that's enough evidence!

cheers
