bard performance "rant"

[Krotoan]

Sadly people are making too much of a big deal out of absolutely NOTHING. Requesting UNNECESSARY stuff , throwing their toys out of the pram. It's all about moan and moan and moan. It's pathetic.

It's like me saying, I hate MIST background music I wanna complaint cause it gives me headaches please change music or I'll go into a rampage.

People need to get a grip and move on rather than CREATING issues that don't exist

And please refrain about talking about my nickname cause I don't give a toss if you were trying to make a point. It goes over my head. Thanks

I'm a little amused you don't know what your own name means, but I'll leave it be as you've asked.
Your counter example is very much not equivalent. Nobody is saying they'll rage or foam or quit. They're asking for an option to not hear everyone who wants to spam "performances" in the public areas.
This was a "feature" they added recently and until now it hadn't been a concern. Now we login and many of the public areas are filled with people either trying to make music or enjoying the fact they can make noise that nobody can ignore without silencing EVERYONE around them.

Voicing a request or opinion or discussion is what this forum is for. Perhaps you're the one making problems out of nothing?

As a matter of fact I hate most ingame music. Thankfully there is an option to mute JUST the music.

What people want is an option to mute JUST the performances w/o muting other sounds too. Given that the majority has no aptitude for musical performance and the fact that community areas are filled with dissonant plonking, I don't think this is an unreasonable request at all.

I just wish the people playing songs would play like they're actually using harps and not trying to emulate songs that require them to spazz out and cause the incessant nonstop plunking

Are you talking about the actual animation? Yeah that looks weird.
Real harp players can play WAAAY faster that FF-XIV processes note commands though.

"Bahumut is to big and we should allow players to make it smaller so it's not so annoying."
"Do you think players will find random sounds coming from other players annoying?"
"Nah"

I would rather have had relics this patch, and left perform for the next one.

Well running through town today I found only a couple people strumming and they were actually good so.... /thread?

P.S. It's not any more annoying than people spamming abilities in town...

Only issue with it is there's no /command to initiate it and swap out your hot bars. Seems like a pretty major oversight and after seeing that lack of functionality I'd wager many will just drop it since a lot of us don't have spare hotbars for this.

A good work around is not share hotbar, make a new gear set for hotbars, then set up your 2, 3, or 4 HUD setting to what works for you. A lot of videos I've seen have it setup like a piano.

yeah, i don't play bard, so i can use all my hotbars just for the notes. but someone who plays bard should have some trouble o.ô; wich seems a bit wrong, that someone who don't play bard can use the new exclusive feature for bard and a bard main doesn't xD
