Thread: Major ballad bugg with U7

I am experiencing a huge delay when casting it makes life pretty difficult.

Eww.

Major is now the CoS ani, complete with animation delay. I really hope this is a bug, it feels super clunky.

They also changed the drum tune on coda, I liked it better before.

This is a pretty big deal for minstrels using Major Ballads.

Seriously Turbine - LEARN TO TEST.

As usual, when you get this bug then send in a bug report as soon as you can; posting on this forum alone won't achieve anything other than letting others know to look out for it ... which is valuable but probably won't get the issue fixed.

It's just UNREAL to me that they continue to use old code to reintroduce bugs that had been squashed months ago. It's just bad programming and bad testing.

Major ballad animation is pretty much back to just after RoI levels. It's like spamming chord of salvation. Sigh.

I suppose the coda damage changing was getting boring for them eh?

I am not seeing this at all. I am using a Clarinet with "Enable Avatar Attacks Effects" uncheck..

I really have no idea what that is, but yes, the Major Ballad IN NULL STANCE animation is back to RoI launch status regardless of instrument (for me).

Where exactly is this option you have unchecked?

Edit - and trying both options and using a clarinet does not solve it.

It's broken again.

I logged my mini to heal a ToO raid, and this was not a very nice surprise.

It also seems to me that my inductions are slower.

exatly - totally awfull - and subjectively at least all my inductions seemded slower as well. What a bad surprise. But then again it was interesting again to heal Saruman with a mostly twink run of (after an early disconnect) 9 people...

But honestly this bug was in, it was fixed - now it is in again. It really feels like someone wants to sell the rune keeper class... Will we have to wait again 2 month for this fix?

Just ran foundry t2 and noticed this lag on major ballad...which I hope IS a bug!

Completely ruins the flow of healing and skill rotation.

Incidentally, in addition to this, I suspect our Hadolin bonus is broken again - forget to check my Thelin set but I will after work.

healed full fornost t2 challenge . i thinked i have lag first, all my inductions was so slow...

major ballad broken
inductions seem much slower
i think i will retire my mini

What forum posting does is get solo mini's like me who don't use major ballad to try it and /bug it.

I bugged it. Appears to be sharing tune and animation delay with chord of salvation. Epic fail Turbine. Again.

Hope they will address this soon. I usually cut the Chord of salvation animation by following it with something like SoS, can't do that when i use 3 major ballads constantly building up for anthems, then wiping them for the removal bonuses and then repeating the process, guess i can use the perfect ballad a little bit more in the meantime if i plan on wiping the anthems more often then not, though that requires damaging a target (which isn't a big deal 99% of the time, + skill target fowarding) The reason i mainly use the major ballad is with our kins Lore masters power isn't much of an issue to us, and in ToO i like the stacked healing bonus.

As a side note though, seems in war speech if you use the major ballad it is the old animation at least (not that it's really useful in ws)

I was thinking it was lag but can confirm that it takes ages to get the 3 major ballad buffs up

Hilarious. AGAIN they have reintroduced old and undesirable code that was fixed. I mean, I could understand if this were the first time, but it isn't, and it isn't even the second. They have literally done and then undone numerous changes on Minstrel. That they will have to redo, because undoing them is completely undesirable and not intentional.

Well whatever, back to starting fights in Harmony to Ballad up and then dropping it and dreading having to use a Coda.

As PhantomPunk says above, the issue doesn't seem to be present in Harmony stance; so it might be worth giving that a try for the time being. You never know, you might like it.

I use CotC to tier up now to start a pull. I am terrified to use Codas in Null which would require tiering again without CotC, so I save them for emergencies.

Please do not forget to /bug this. Really important to not just list on the forums.

Separately, has anyone had any results testing their Hadolin 5 set bonus? My results are inconclusive, so I can't say if it's bugged again. It may very well be given they reintroduced bad code again with the major ballad issue from RoI launch. Thelin is OK, at least tooltip-wise.

Yeah i also start every pull with CotC (even before bug generally), with the legacy maxed it's on a 3 minute CD.

Hopefully enough people will bug this and maybe turbine will see this post (lol) and fix this issue sooner rather then later (lol again). Makes it a bit more annoying too knowing that some of these minstrel issues as PhantomPunkk has said were issues, then solved, the RE INTRODUCED (and taken a while to fix considering they already had a fix), and i also skimmed over the patch notes for this update and i didn't see any of these issues for minstrels in the notes.

Our bug is apparently now on the "Known Issues" list.

Here's hoping they can patch it with whenever the next patch is.

Yaaaay

Hope they might be able to sneak in a quick fix before the next patch if that's going to be more then a month away. Just glad they have at least confirmed it as a bug now

5 set still works as far as I can tell.
