Hey everyone,
We've had a few bugs show up already, and I wanted to remind everyone to make sure to report bugs in the places devs will see them. Use the /bug command in game, and post the bug in the In Live bug thread for the current publish. As always, the more information, and the more detailed the information, the better. Reproducible steps to cause the bug are the best thing.

I wholeheartedly recommend every single Musician to bug the fact that only 8 people can get in a group, and there are 10 instruments, thus we can never have a band with all instruments playing in it.


That's pathetic, and the Devs basically nerfed our ability to have a fully outfitted band playing the songs THEY designed to be played with all 10 instruments.


Make it part of your daily login routine. Hit /bug, find the categories (Player Character/Skills maybe? Or some grouping category? Any help, anyone?). Now put in your description that Musicians can't have all 10 instruments in their band anymore, as only 8 people are allowed in a group.


Copy/paste your bug description into your in-game notepad using /notepad. To activate chat copy and paste, first drag your /bug window WAY out of the way (not center of the screen). Now go to CTRL+O (or the Options window) and select Controls. Now hit the Keymap button on the bottom of the window. Look for the "Chat" tab in the Keymap window, and click on it. Now scroll down and look for "Chat Edit Copy" and "Chat Edit Paste." Highlight either function and select "Rebind." Now hit the keys you want to bind to these functions - like CTRL+SHIFT+C for Copy, and CTRL+SHIFT+V for paste. When the Rebinds are done, hit the Apply button, then the Done or OK button.


You can now copy and paste any text in the game using your bound key sequences. Copy/paste your bug description into your /notepad, and when you login, paste the description right into your /bug report. Do it everyday, do it often, do it when you're bored.


There is no excuse for SOE to do this to Musicians. We play 10 instruments. A full band has 10 players playing each instrument, or multiple people with the same instruments. They designed the music to accomodate 10 instruments. And they friggin' nerfed groups to 8 without so much as a care for Musicians' bands, Entertainers' xp gain, and the Entertainer experience in their game.


/bug early, /bug often.


Let's not take this lying down. It just takes a moment of your time


Hope everyone is doing well, and I'm really sorry for our Bloodfin and Chimaera folks who've had to endure some heinous rollbacks. That is very ouch, I mean totally not shagadelic.

Well, there ARE only five distinct sounds... but I agree the group size should be increased for entertainers.

I searched around and finally found someplace to post the bugs I found. I'm not searching through seven pages to see if it was already posted, though. Also I /bugged them ingame. Should we put them on the musician bug thread too?



Feel free to - I like to just keep that updated list around for easy reference, so it certainly wouldn't hurt to put it in that thread (and hopefully it doesn't stay there long, cause hopefully they get fixed quickly ).

This is true, but as one can compose bandflourish songs using targeted bandflourishes, one can compose for a 10 piece band with all 10 doing something different. It allows for one set of bandflos to have ...for example...the 3 different "brass-ish" horns (Fizzz, Kloo, and Chid) play 3 different flos at the same time or have 2 playing different flos and one doing the vamp. This can be used for different sounds or just the choreography.

Also...if we admit defeat to an 8 person group then we will NEVER get more instrument sounds or even just getting all 10 to be unique.
