bard performance "rant"

Sigh..... bard performance is cool and all but there is one fatal flaw that was forgotten in the patch and this one

An OPTION in settings to turn off performances from other players

Its annoying to be going to lominsa and got several bard plucking at there harps

So please SE make optional setting for other players who do not want to listen to bards performance

Thanks in advance

No fun allowed.

System Configuration > Sound Settings > Player Effects Volume

It's new, let people try it out and have some fun with it.

More importantly... I need more hotbars to properly utilize the feature... please give me performance bars, I utilize all 10 provided hotbars for various class changes, markers, waypoints, emotes, minion/chocobo/mount features

An extra performance hotbars UI is needed or bard will stop being a useable battle-class for me as I turn full.... bard

You can utilize the hotbar storage of unused classes (for example Archer) and use a macro to swap between them. For example, the following macro swaps hotbars 1-3 between Archer and Bard (using Lancer's hotbar #1 as a buffer):

/hotbar copy brd 1 lnc 1
/hotbar copy arc 1 brd 1
/hotbar copy lnc 1 arc 1
/hotbar copy brd 2 lnc 1
/hotbar copy arc 2 brd 2
/hotbar copy lnc 1 arc 2
/hotbar copy brd 3 lnc 1
/hotbar copy arc 3 brd 3
/hotbar copy lnc 1 arc 3

Executing it once will swap out your BRD 1-3 bars for your ARC 1-3 bars. Then you can set up your performance actions on them. Executing once more will swap back, storing your performance actions on ARC and bringing back your BRD combat actions. Obviously you can modify the macro for whatever bars you want to use.

You can turn it off with the "Other PCs" bar under Sound Settings.

I wonder if its going to get removed eventually. I'm going to bet its only a matter of time until SE gets sued by Metallica or some other over zealous "defender" of music rights as well.

Someone asked for Orchestrion roles with this and I said the exact same thing pretty much.
