They don't let you sing 4 songs (without the harp) unless you have 4 dummy songs on already right? I don't play bard but that's how I was told it works.
This is 1 style of putting up 4 songs.

The other is putting up 2 strong songs(GHorn/Aeonic), then switch to harp apply 2 weak songs, then redo the 2 weak songs using Ghorn(or w/e you have better).

Both have merits depending on the fight style/conditions (death, jas, etc).

I mean, I think the original rationale was extra songs SHOULD be sung in extra song equipment (that's why it has duration so it can't be overwritten)

Except that doesn't work for obvious reasons and they weren't smart enough to code songs properly so we get imbalanced bard instead.

Then they just decide to let it go until someone brings it up and then they "fix it".
This really holds no weight. At the same time the harp was being released SE released a bunch of farmable +3 Instruments and gave us Emp gear with +1 to certain songs. for 30 to 40% bonus. Also they added the Empy Body (Aoidos' Hongreline +2) which gave a 10% Boost. So even if you didn't feel like farming the new superior instruments and wanted to keep rocking your +2 Ghorn you wouldn't have had a problem overwriting.

90 Emp harp was only a 25% duration boost.
99 is 30% So still would of allowed to be over written.

I believe the duration bonus was really added for AoE Sleeps since String aka Harps increase range.

Edit: They also added Aoidos' Matinee (BRD Aby Necklace) at the same time for another 10% duration bonus.
We already had 75 Mythic for 10% but they had already started the upgrade for even more duration at level 80 (20%), soon after 85 (30%) etc

I mean if you think about it logically it makes no sense.

If they intended extra songs to be overwritten then they would've gave extra songs on gear instead of tying it to an instrument.

not that anything has ever made logical sense, just that I would bet it wasn't originally intended.

Not if they wanted it to be extra work to fully utilize those extra songs.

Edit: Knowing SE back then they were all for making ***harder for no real reason then to make it harder. Still seen today but to a much lesser extent.

It isn't any extra work though, it's literally just sing it again

I mean technically that IS infact extra. but not like extra.

....and being that you can do "that" to hold clarion call forever (zone), you can't really still think that's intentional, and if that isn't intentional then it wasn't intentional to overwrite songs 3 and 4 either.

But that IS extra work and back then we weren't rocking 11+ minute songs so keeping a full rotation up between different party members was a full time job and if you let one song slip for years you then would/could start having a cascading effect because now you got to get that dummy back up and rewrite to full strength.

I want a confirmation when selecting a NM in Ody. If you don't have V-levels you can very easily misclick.

I'd also very much so like a homepoint added near the AH in Rabao. We got one in Norg near the AH. Gimmie one near the Rabao one lol.

Trusts should persist through zoning, like DRG's wvvern.

They should really too, since the code seems to be based on adventuring fellow and they did stay when you zone.

FFXIV has them. I haven't played in years but you make little AH buddies that you send off to gather materials for you each day. You get gil and items.

I wouldn't really classify Retainers or Ventures as that. Predominately because they aren't out in the game world potentially interfering with other players. Ventures also have a (minor) cost associated with them. It's a lot more akin to something like Mog Garden furrows in XI.

Isiolia is right and this statement is the key. Retainers do not nor ever have broken the game for anyone or caused disturbances.

1. All abyssea zones should be pvp as soon as you leave the entrance area.

Isn't it obvious? Anyone doing Chloris or Glavoid pops. '-')
Actually I'm doing trials however, making a zone where players had a lot of hp in relation to damage dealt/ damage received, then considering that to make empyreans you have to be able to effectively farm in a pvp zone, lastly the inclusion of atmas to bring diversity to the field. How isn't this a capital idea?

save any home points, survival books, odyssey warps and all those types of teleport options you already collected on the server.
finding out next ambu rotation that you have to grab that random book warp in caedarva mire again for the 3rd time cause your macros bugged out and you had to load a backup gets kinda old.
