Bard AA Sionachie's Crescendo Bug/Zone Crash

[trevius]

If a bard purchases this AA, it immediately causes the bard and the zone it is in to crash. From that point on, there is no way to log the bard back in. Any attempt to log the bard in will cause the zone to crash.

Until that AA is fixed or removed, the only work around I have found for it is to log the bard completely off and change their class to warrior and then log them in as a warrior. Then, have your GM character do a #refundaa on them to remove any spent AAs. Then, log the bard (warrior) completely off again and change them back to bard again. Then the character can log in without causing zone crashes.

The way I do it is to move the character to one of my accounts and log them in and do the changes then move them back to whoever's account it was to begin with.

It took me a while to isolate this problem, but after much testing I was able to make 100% sure that this is the issue causing it. I am able to duplicate it everytime. As soon as the bard trains that AA, the zone crashes.

At first I thought it was maybe because there is an apostrophe in the name, but then I tried other AA's on the bard with apostrophes and they worked fine. I then tested every single bard AA possible and they all work fine (or at least don't cause crashes/bugs) accept for this one AA.

I would suggest either removing the AA from the next build release or fixing whatever is causing the crash. Either way should be fine.
