/yawn

Elite Entertainer buffs, any month now. That would be nice.

Until then, I'm still pissed about the 0040 Musician nerf, and the bullcrap of calling our instruments "props." What a pathetic cop out from having to actually invest time in something fun for us. We got a song and some particle effects - and a massive nerf, and removal of BF, and still no elite profession buffs.

So, yeah - big /yawn from me. Wake me up when the Devs make mastering Musician worthwhile again, and actually give us any significant new content.

I'm too tired of waiting, so I'm taking a nap. Later.

* Plays taps for the ents *

Pub 20 for Ents is sort of like telling a combat prof, "Hey we are removing your ability to actually kill anything but check out these 2 new super cool sparkly animations youll do while fighting!"

[quote]What exactly was "reworked" in the skill branch? I see no change as of Pub 20 launch?[/quote]

Instruments and Songs are now in two different branches. They were in only one.

No SP change to date.

Here it is...yet another Joy of Pub 20!!!!

Fragpuppie on Chilastra trys to maintain Master Music and Master Entertainer at all times, but as he diversifies a little, he occasionally needs to drop MEnt to get another mastery. Such as Currently he is 4 skill points shy of Master Msuic/Pistoleer/Entertainer (yes I should be 4 over, but I have 8 stuck in FS).

Well normally this is not an issue. I have mando loaded on my droid for just such occurances. Well now we have a THIRD reason that musicians need to Master Entertainer.

The first two are of course Playing the Mandoviol and Playing Ceremonial. However......

YOU NOW NEED MASTER ENTERTAINER TOCRAFT A MANDOVIOL

oh and you now need Master Music to make the Nalargon too.

I need to look at all the trees to see all the placements now. Thanks again for the changes devs. Its everything we NEVER asked for.

With songs and instruments split over two skill trees we now must invest twice as many skill points to get what we had before. And to make matters worse they take away what little we had left that gave us a value to the rest of the games mechanics.

We tested and /bugged the fact it wasn't working, they obviously didn't have time to fix it and forgot to mention that to Tiggs.
