I've gotten to the point where I just turned my sound off. (I never thought It'd come to that, but I did...) I got sick of blacklisting countless people everyday for looped default music spam for training. There was more of that than the bots.
It has been so long since I've heard anyone even try to use the music system correctly that I gave up.
Which is sad, because it was my very most favorite thing in Mabinogi and I found so much joy in it.
I had some good times, even tho no one ever listened to them because they had muted music already.
If someone were to ask me to join in their session, I think I would. I have not really used Freestyle. I think the last time was for a quest? Event? I don't remember.
Whatcha mean it sounds like everyone is playing the same scroll?
If you hand out the separate track scrolls to the others, as if it were a proper jam, it should sound just about the same as a traditional Jam Session.
Unless all the players joining in don't have a scroll of their own, in which case yeah they'll just copy the Freestyle Jam's creator's scroll.
Freestyle Jam's also nice in that the song is always played correctly. I really wish they had changed Jam Sessions to always be a perfect performance, but it's still random.
Jam Session's got its own perks, like Pure Music Mode which blocks out the noise from sound effects, BGM, and bards outside of the party, but it's got to compete with Freestyle Jam's convenience and ease of use.
