Bard AA's on SoD

[number6]

Hi

I've recreated my old (live) 65th level bard with all his equipment having found that he still had a Magelo profile and have been enjoying revisiting some old haunts on my private server. I've found a couple of issues with AAs (I am using the steam SoD client - the original one when it appeared, not the recent repatched one).

1) Boastful bellow will only fire if I'm not singing something. I am (fairly) sure that it could be activated at any time on live, even while in the middle of twisting.

2) Fading Memories appears to do nothing. I get a caster animation and see that spell 5243 is attempted to be cast, but I don't go invis, and don't lose any mana. I also think the same issue as 1) is present, i.e. I should be able to fade while singing something else but cannot. I see the code has, in AA.cpp,

Message(0,"Sorry Fading Memories not working YET");

but I don't get that message on the client...

I want to get this working, and I am a coder by profession though haven't done C++ for aeons, but before I start messing around I wanted to ask what the state of play of this was with the devs and whether anyone was already working on it. I saw a note from KLS saying she was working through the issues but nothing after that and I do appreciate that there are always amazing amounts of work to be done
