the new delay for starting and stopping songs seems a bit long to me, especially with the nalargon/omni untargeting issue. i personally think that 5 seconds would be long enough

It has to be at least 10 seconds to combat the xp exploit. I don't know why they made it 15, though

Yes, I've asked them why it couldn't be a bit less than 15 seconds. No reply yet. 15 seconds is a pain. I can deal with it, but it's a pain.

I especially hate how I like to use 4 flourish phrases, and if I stop right before the 4 flourish drum solo, I can't start till 5 flourishes. It makes the music sound BAD!

So use /pausemusic instead of stopping when you want to do a drum solo.

Just something I've noticed...


I've been using a droid with a playback module to compose some multi-part arrangements (how did I ever do without?). I've noticed that when /startband is used instead of /startmusic the 15 second rule doesn't seem to apply.


I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but there it is. It might be happening only in certain instances, such as when grouped only with a droid or something (I doubt it). But I didn't have any trouble last night stopping and starting a moment later.


BTW there was no one else in the cantina.. I was just there composing. I wasn't trying to speed-buff anyone, I was just looping through the macro trying out different flourishes...

It's a bug.

I keep hearing about this bug, but I can't reproduce it. Tiaga, have you reported it to the devs already? I haven't said anything yet because I haven't reproduced it. I must be doing something wrong.

I can't reproduce it either. Every time I use my droid and stop to teach/fight..whatever...I have to wait the 15 seconds before I can play again.

Gknee, I guess we should try it while solo. I never think of /startband when I'm solo. But then, I never really figured out how to do the speedbuff, either. For that matter, it took me months to get around to making a macro of any kind. Hehe, I just like to play.

omg...This works. I never knew...how do you people find these tricks?? I can't do it with my droid though. I have the animation that I'm playing but no sound and no flourishes.

Bugs, not tricks. This isn't intended and should be fixed, so don't get used to it. However, I am working to get the 15 second delay eased off or removed completely.
