Disable Auto Barding

Playing instrument is the easiest skill ever to level, so why do people need to be subject to AFK bards spamming default mabi songs in the middle of every population center all day, every day. Don't see why we gotta either blacklist everyone, or turn our own instrument volume down to cater to laziness. Blacklisting doesn't even solve the problem, if I blacklist someone it doesn't mean I can do my own barding with friends because then everyone else around has to hear layered barding and that sounds even worse than the defaults alone. It's gotten bad since musicq, and imo places like dunbarton aren't even worth going to because there's an afk bard in every corner or the square.

I propose you disable repeated barding outside of homesteads, where they should be doing this to begin with.

    This is one of those counter-measures-to-prevent-modding type features.

    If they remove the feature, people will use a macro and do it anyways.

    That's why I think it should only be allowed in homestead. Everyone else shouldn't have to deal with it to cater to someone who isn't even PLAYING at the moment. They're just afk. qq

    I hate it with a burning passion as well. Same for people who spam control marionette or golem sounds. It has never been funny, it isn't funny right now and it never damn will be. Grow up.

    Yeah seriously, there's so many ways you can fix this issue and let everyone win but instead we have annoyed people on both sides.

    1: Only allowed to repeat bard skill in homestead
    2: People with auto barding enabled make no noise
    3: Remove the defaults from playing without score. They're horrible songs anyway.

    If you ever feel like trolling the autoplayers, try and request a duel with them during that split second between plays. It'll force the skill to stop.

    I recommend interrupting all autoplayers this way until they get a clue and move to a non-public space 8D

    There's a setting in options that lets you mute others aside from yourself.

    There is a way though?? Use jam band. If you want to play music, you can click the headphones above your head. Your audiences don't even need to be in your party, they can click on it too and hear only your music.

    Buuut that doesn't fix the afk playing instrument in populated areas.

    AFK playing isn't that bad anyways. Makes the towns feel livelier.

    I disagree. I wont even set foot in dun barton anymore because of them. It used to be where i spent all my time but i haven't been there for more than 10 seconds in months. I know i'm not the only one too. :c And why would i want to mute everyone? I'm a bard because i love playing music, and hearing others play their own music. not spam terrible default songs. My favorite part of the game is having random strangers and friends take turns playing music or join in jams randomly, but lately i can't do anything because now spammers are in all the population centers and i'm not going to subject anyone to layered music. I just want to be able to bard and not get shoved aside by people who only care about their stat gains. ;-;

    BARD MAINS OVER STAT GAINS! -protest chant, picket fence signs, etc-

    Edit: @Hardmuscle How much bacon would we need to bury all the afk bards under to prevent sound from escaping the ham barrier?

    Update: some of them are not even using regular auto barding. There are scripts involved that make them start right back up after I cancel them with duel requests. It's a plague and people like this should just get banned already ~_~

    I've long believed that auto-play should be restricted to Homesteads.

    mfw the two options for the poll is the same.

    Where is the option for "It doesn't bother me?" I would like to vote that.

    It honestly doesn't bother me honestly. Limiting it to homesteads is not really the best idea. Some people do troll, I will admit, but others don't play trolly music.

    Yeah, I tend to add joke polls >< I should have taken it seriously in a suggestion thread..

    I hope you're aware of the fact that Pure music mode exists for a reason. If you wish to have people in a party and play music with them i'd advise you to actually make use of that function that was implemented for that reason. Complaining about having to turn people down or blacklisting them because thats "too much effort" for you is honestly pathetic when there is at-least a way to disable it for everyone you wish to play music with.

    >Edit<
    Also to further elaborate on my point above.. There are people who do play blank scores, yes eventually they run out but the fact that they've considered taking the time to make blank scores for auto playing means they aren't lazy or inconsiderate.

    Of course things would be better if Devcat cleaned up regular music playing to decrease the number of poorly played attempts especially as one ranks higher.

    But I think the purpose of this discussion is at what point does AFK music playing in public areas frequented by many people becomes a public nuisance. It's like comparing it to people who have loud parties deep into the night making it impossible for neighbors to sleep.

    However, in this game players do not have the moral obligation to not use the function just to keep people's ears sane.
    Nor do they have the moral obligation to not play over others who are playing music.

    So, when do these actions get annoying enough to be considered public nuisances?
    And what about others who use the action on regular maps, but have chosen isolated locations away from most people?

    This is definitely a good debatable topic on the positives and negatives of this function. And good civil debate is good for our minds and community.

    You know what's worse than a handbell in a freestyle jam? It's someone going afk with auto play on while a freestyle jam is in the middle of a song.
    Seriously though, there needs to be some limit on how and when music in the game is played back.
    Let's say the game detects an autoplay for uh three whole songs, it will auto mute that song to other players in the vicinity.
    That way, if you want to freestyle jam or put on a performance, you can do so without having to gripe about having to move to a different location.
    Also, if two jams are in session, the one that started first will be played, and the second one is muted.
    Naturally, if you're in the same session, you should be able to hear that music while not hearing someone else's.
