TheEvilGizm0 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 If you've ever played Guild Wars you should have heard of the Paragon class. He can sing and shout to give allies and team members defensive and offensive bonuses. I think the Bard stuff could be like that. Paragons suck though, so I'd hate it :P They finally got it right.

x_bow80 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'm surprised everyone know what a bard is, personaly ive never heard of it, and dictionary.com says its either a poet, horse armor, or a thin slice of fat or bacon used to keep the meat under it from drying while being cooked. Oh yeah and i read the poet one, it has nothing to do with music, its poetry. And no theyre not the same thing. Bard is a type of singer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bard_%28Soviet_Union%29 RuneScape idol? Nah... I would pass on that kind skill. 99 Pics - Range, Defence, HP, Attack, Magic, Strength, Cooking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFJ Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I read about speculation on the RSOF about a new skill coming today, the Bard skill. From the BTS July there's two sentances that haven't been done yet. We are also working on improving instrument sounds and a feature which will allow the player to access information about where a song can be unlocked. Keep your ears open for more musical developments later in the month. The bolded one is the important one to this argument and some people have interpretated it as a new skill coming, the Bard skill. I personally think it is plausable that this could mean a big update, but a bard skill? I'm struggling to think of ways to level it up or uses for it. Only real use for it I could think of is to sing a song and it works like a pot and boosts your stats as such, or works as a prayer and lasts a certain amount of time. Posts in the RSOF: 16-17-998-48762571 16-17-186-46810714 16-17-482-38492947 What do you think of the possibility of a new skill coming today (Getting a little late now though...) and if it is a music related skill like people suggest, what would it entail? I love the idea of a Bard. They are blue mages, though, so i t wouldn't work in runescape, because there's no party system. I'd kill for this to happen, though.

warren211 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 They talk about the game music update and somehow people interpret it as a new skill?

Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

Headnazgul Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 They talk about the game music update and somehow people interpret it as a new skill? Scapers these days think too much about absolutely nothing -.-With good reason. The Construction skill's only hint was a few lines at the very end of the BTS for May 2006:We are also adding some other smaller features to the game later this month, such as clockwork toys for your cats, teleportation tablets, making your own cups of tea and even chairs you can sit down in.

rooneyrules0 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Maybe a music cape? If you have all of your music unlocked you get a cape much like the quest cape - it's unwearable whenever a new one comes out. ÃÆââââ¬Ã¢Ã¢â∠Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goobore Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 What a stupid skill, i'd be pleased to keep it at 1 like i've done with hunter. Well, it depends on what Jagex does with it... For example, in EQ, Bards play songs (3 or 4 at once) that provide all sorts of benefits for other players and themselves. A bard could play a Damage-over-Time song spell, or a Heal-over-Time song spell, or a Increase-your-strength-by-10%-as-long-as-the-song-is-playing song spell. There are many, many other benefits that a Bard can provide a group of players. The neat thing is that these are all magic spells done without any runes (Mana in EQ) at all. You only need the instrument. You don't need Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Chaos runes, etc to cast the spell. In EQ, players work together and support each other to take down monsters. The Bard fills a role as a strong support player. Now, if Jagex decided to expand the RS playstyle to include more cooperative missions between players, then a "support other players" skill could be in the making. Now, the whole "Bard in RS" thng is pure speculation, but at least you have some idea now about how it's usefully done in another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coenvg Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Lol at least it wil be orriginal and fun I think, isn't the construction skill also almost pointless?, you can't make money with it as far as I know, if its really going to happen I will be happy suprised, but you can make a skill of every line you read.

NJE03 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I read somewhere else that in some rpg's the bard can heal allies with his music.

tintin113 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 It would be cool, but it would only work in an amazing game called: ''real life.'' The only point of being a bard is that the people love you're music/poems ect. Therefore you would have to be able to play a musical instrument, and then have the game rate your music... Maybe in virtual runescape 2030, but for now, it's not really practical. Thanks to Quarra for the awesome sig!Xbox360 Gamertag = Tintin113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4beanies Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Bard skill?? Sweet, thats a definite 99 for me as long as we get guitar or double bass.. If it is true, i hope it doesn't involve writing poems, YEAAAAAH! and i'd get a big brown bushy beard for it, because all bards need beards. no matter what.
