March Update

Song adjustment

Adjust system so that songs with 120 seconds or more remaining on their duration can be overwritten

A bug has developed due to this adjustment and it will be pushed back.

is this a gift or a curse for harp/horn users and thier placeholder songs?

Eh? I don't think they're changing the way songs work, where it overwrites the lowest duration song. I think they're just making it so that you can overwrite a song with the exact same song without having to wait till it's duration is down to 2 minutes or less.

Either way, it's going to be awesome.

YES! Now when I totally botch songs I can fix them! Or when I use scherzo with Clarion call, I can overwrite it when the extra song wears.

I'm sad it'll be pushed back.

When you reach the max amount of songs, and cast subsequent different songs, your lowest duration songs get overwritten first, instead of over-writing song 1-2-3-4 in the order you cast them. From the wording, I'm pretty sure they aren't changing this, and instead are just changing the "no effect" you'd get if you try to overwrite a song before it's down to it's base duration.

Hmm, I guess I need them to change all songs to potency modification for marcato and SV rather than duration bonus. But I guess it's still nice that you can refresh song durations earlier if you need to. But at least there's nothing bad about this change.

Yeah, the way song overwriting works has always kinda boggled my mind, and I always kinda wished it always overwrote in the order you cast in. I guess it's convenient if you do Song > Song > paeon daur > Paeon daur > Song > Song, but it still creates a lot of annoying situations. :<

The solution is to convert Daurdabla in to a ring.

I'd be okay with a Daurdberhorn too.

No hard cap is known. With SV, T/N, and all gear, I think the duration is right at 10 minutes, but that is only capped by lack of gear

{main="Legato Dagger", head="Aoidos' Calot +2",neck="Aoidos' Matinee",body="Aoidos' Hongreline +2",hands="Aoidos' Manchettes +2",legs="Marduk's Shalwar +1",feet="Brioso Slippers +1"}

this pretty much. Any other slot is essentially up to you with whatever you'd like to have in your midcast (fastcast, haste, pdt etc.)
