Color me disinterested.
or you could just play it and not pay attention to discord and see for yourself

Beta players seem to have realized how busted Bards are. Basically every tank and melee DPS now has a Bard slotted in one of their three slots. For example, MNK/ROG/BRD gives you insane melee DPS, S-tier pulling/scouting, and solid tanking/survivability between Monk avoidance, Bard plate, Mend, and regen song. PAL/BER/BRD combines damage, tanking, and survivability. They really, really need to do something to buff casters, because the game is currently turning into Bard/MeleeQuest with how OP Bards are, paired with overtuned melee stances and melee damage in general.

It makes sense. One downside of a melee/caster hybrid like Warrior/Wizard is you are unable to melee while casting a nuke. Bards don't have that problem, so it's an easy pick for a melee who wants some extra utility that can be cast while meleeing.

I'm seeing all types of shit come out that is really just ... not EverQuest, plainly.

But yeah good point. I think I'm just becoming increasingly more misanthropic with time. Wish I could go a day without being reminded how modernity is ruining everything. Struggle? Psssh we patched that out, here have some Xanax and play ezMode EverQuest sweetbabychild

I thought you were exaggerating, but I dropped in there today and it was literally exactly as you said. It's a combination of brazen stupidity and arrogance, a bizarre inability to understand the nuances of an opposing argument, and a fixation on making the game as easy and painless as possible. Deeply unpleasant people to interact with on even the most surface level. Discord in general just seems to attract a lot of no-life weirdos.

Just leave it.

If you do not like that sort of thing, just leave it to those who do.

I dont particularly like it either.

You like Fortnite? If not, fuck off there and complain.

Everyone cannot be pleased, so there arent trying. They picked their market and cater to it.

Crybaby weiners like all these naysayers here make me want to vomit.

And they are the ones beta testing and providing their feedback.

My worry is that the dev team will spend so much time trying to appease these folks, that the end result will be further and further from EverQuest in anything but name and appearance.

Neat that they've added new skins/colors to the froglok race. Go blue and then get full lambent plus bard epic. Plate armor looks surprisingly well on them.

With rituals included, I'd probably go pal/rng instead of dru for Oath of Ancients "build". Would be cool to try and +5 a mistwalker scimitar to make it more viable, if only the pluses improved proc summons.
