Here is a good idea for the The musician profession. If you ever played mario paint you prolly spent more time on the fly game, and on
music maker thing.

Well that thing is called a "Midi Sequencer" and should be a feature in the game. There should be 8 tracks per song (8 instruments),
and a player could compose, direct and with help from other musicians record this game music. Maybe the music would have a short buff
effect when played. (It would be played in a small player that is actually a container that sits in your invitory. Inside the container
are datadisk you get from master musicians. Who make these disk after recording the master track and using a factory to mass produce them).

The musician would "craft the song" then can give out parts to other musicians, and they could play the song in unison, to make this
factory schematic. During a "crafting session" the song writer could choose a buff from a LONG list of temparary buff list (max maybe 15min)
They could experiment for length of buff and lenght of song, also strength of buff. In the field players could play these songs (mabye
the song itself would last 1min at most?) and gain a temparary buff like maybe when riding a mount they would travel faster. Or HAM regen.
Or ham Max. Or def+ or Innate armor bonus. COB boost. or even crafting exp a bit higher. They should give ALOT more buffs.

The core of this profession would be 1000 better if they did this. I know I would actually like to play this profession. Just in case
a DEV read this, (I doubt) FIX SMUGGLER. That doesn't get said near enough, and I'm gonna say it in every post I make.

Tell what you think musicians. I DO NOT want to see your prof "phased" out. That would be horrible.

I often mention here and there to the devs that we'd like tools that brought us closer to music composition (without having to cross the line of being possible to mess with copyright issues), but yeah, at least something as free/powerful as a midi sequencer probably won't happen due to those reasons.

But yay mario paint! I loved that game . That fly game got hard!

I used to rock out in mario paint a LOT.


My friend was an absolute whiz at drawing and animating things. This one time, he did an Empire Strikes Back poster-looking thing, with the logo, a standing vader, and a glowing red lightsaber that really pulsated like a lightsaber. It was just incredible. I'd forgotten about that, until I started replying to this post!


I used to goof with the music all the time. I'd make all sorts of weird songs, or find sheet music and try to make it sound cool. I remember making some crazy techno songs, that was the best...

I like the idea that we can differentiate ourselves by choosen what buff or boost, we wish to facilitate - very good idea. Then we would also have need for all them plusses and the crafting community could get more customers

Regarding the musiccomposing. Looove the idea, though I don't think it will ever get implemented Why? Because of copyrights. Before you know it, the cantinas would be filled with the new tunes from Britney Spears, Eminem, etc. Besides the illegal aspect of that, I really don't want to experience that /griin
