Or d) they want to stack the buff.

You mean "bank" the buff right? Stacking hasn't worked in ages.

---

I am disinclined to thinkthat this is the reasonbecause they did not ask me to try again, and they left the Cantina directly after they got their dance buff from me.

If you recieve one buff /stoplisten... you can recieve (bank) a second buff that will activate when you stop listen... so no returning to the cantina for the second one means an effective 4 hour buff.

Cheers for that one, you learn something new everyday

Reports are that this no longer works. That it was a bug and NOT an undocumented feature and has now been fixed.

Yep, doesn't work any longer. Since 12.1 went Live, I do believe.

Back to your buffing dilemma, I'm inclined to think it's confusion on your customers' parts, over how a Musician buff actually works.

If they had armor on, and were waiting to get a music buff from you, it's quite possible their Mind secondaries were in the negatives. Thus, when youbuffed them, their secondaries could deceptively look like their usual secondaries, except the armor encumbrence brings your 75% buff down to the amount they usually have. I've done double takes with this, myself - my Focus is usually 800, which doubles to 1600, but my composite armor (theset with the terrible encumbrence) brings it back down around 800 sometimes. So, it looks like I "didn't get a buff" but really I did, if I hadn't my Mind secondaries would've still been at 1 instead of 800.

Do you happen to remember if they were wearing armor?

Funny how something as stupidly simple as a system message would prevent all this confusion for both us AND the customer.

"You enhance Warryyr's Focus by 800."

"You enhance Warryyr's Willpower by 1100."

There, now was that so hard?

Gah, sorry - I've always been very disappointed in our profession, in that we can't tell when we buff someone. I think that's the height of lameness.

Warryyr,

There used to be a bug that if the persons focus and willpower were in the negative they would get NO buff. I think that was because the "makeup" modifier to keep the stats positive was seen as a music buff and as we all know you can't rebuff.

Has this bug been fixed?

If it hasn't or it has recurred, then that would be the explination....maybe.

Yes, they were wearing armor. Composite armor in fact. I am willing to bet that your explaination is the true one. Thanks, next time someone tells me that they "didn't get their music buff" I will know what to tell them.

probably cause they took the loot out of the Aakuan cave, so all the afk loot hoe's couldn't get the loot anymore.

Yes, I've looted two rings, and a guildy got one as well.

...anyone else finding that the MBH missions don't spawn on the core planets as often...or am I just having a bad luck streak?

lol i hate when they spawn on core planets, they always spawn in the ocean and will never come out, or i land and see the wp in a city, and i know that means he's going to be in a wall when i get there. but yeah i'm not getting as many on core worlds(thank god) the most visited planet by me has defentily been endor. but i've had good stories come from endor like the lvl 398 forest stalker i found there. image dumb won't let me host the pic or i'd toss it up.
