bard performance "rant"

[Kohdo]

Square's apprently scared of it since they stated they can cut you from FFXIV over it.

People are making a waaay bigger deal about the copyright stuff than is warranted. It's bordering on hysterical. SE has to cover themselves from any potential litigation. The only conceivable way anyone will face punishment for this is if they're really blatant about it and whoever owns the rights to the music makes a formal legal complaint. This way, SE can punish the player and absolve themselves of responsibility.

People are acting like Yoshi's going to be sitting in Limsa all day handing out 30 day bans for anyone who tries a poor rendition of Dragonsong.

I don't know man.

GM's get pretty cranky if you /grovel too many times. That doesn't even make noise. I wouldn't be surprised if people tried throwing reports over people just toying with the keys because of it being a new feature.

(Also, I know it's just to avoid copyright, but their wording makes it sound like you aren't allowed to play SE stuff unless it's FFXIV)

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.

........who?

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

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

Give it some time to cool down. Of course everyone is playing with it right now.

System Configuration > Sound Settings > Player Effects Volume

This turns off all sound and even emotes.... from other players

Should have made a simple setting like this

Other PCs bard performance .... check on or off

I'm aware, but it'll save you from the nightmare for now. People will stop spamming it soon anyway.

Yeah, but thats your solution for now. Have the emoting people join your party so you can hear them for...w/e reason.

New feature implemented.... let the complaining begin! /sigh

They won't remove it. Other MMOs have this and had no copyright issues. Hell they don't even bother to action people who do use 3rd party songs, despite disclaimers saying they would. I doubt SE would either. It would take effort away from protecting people from parses.
