Below are bugs and inconsistancies noticed by the community regarding the in game music editor:
-Desync both in editor and during play
Desync causes players to have to restart their ensembles in hopes that the game plays nice; or if happening in editor, can demotivate you from completing a composition; i know Terra, me, and a few others have all been complaining on this issue for a long time now and its seemingly only gotten worse
-odd jittering of non-shai characters when playing drums
not as big of an issue, more of a slight annoyance when trying to record nice videos
-clunky bar selection/selecting notes on accident which can cause hours of work to be unrecoverable
i know ive had many songs devastated by this quirk, ever since its implimentation its been more of a hinderance than a feature
-E0 is cut off by the scroll bar making it hard to place notes in this range
this ones huge, and should really have been fixed a long time ago. the amount of times ive tried placing a note on E0 just to keep accidentally clicking the scroll bar, and sometimes even clicking/dragging a note or note(s) is abysmal
i know the music community isnt as large as it used to be, but its still a core part of the game for a fair amount of people, even those who dont compose and just listen, it can be unenjoyable for them to see their favorite composers give up because theyre done dealing with a system that isnt shown any love in a game that "prides" its self in having something to do for everyone. i truely feel like if the music editor recieves fixes for the above issues, it could bring back a huge part of the game for alot of people, we could go back to having grand concerts and bringing people together. some of the best memories many of us have are just staying up till 2am on a saturday jamming out to the latest masterpieces we conjured up through the week. the somewhat recent update which brough 10k notes, much requested instruments, and some QOL features was a step in the right direction; it just needs some polish and bugfixing which myself and many others feel was ignored; as if the update was pushed to appease the community and shut us up.
hopefully this reaches the dev team and they push some love our way again.
heres to hoping for a better future for the music side of BDO <3
- "Desync causes players to have to restart their ensembles in hopes that the game plays nice" - thats if you are lucky and it doesnt keep playing even if you have all cancelled it, leading to everyone in the ensemble having to re-log into the game - the whole idea of having the server notify the client constantly throughout the song has been nothing but a total disaster
The sad thing is - PA already knows about all these issues, otherwise they wouldnt be having offline events like BDOVision - they just arent interested in fixing these issues
- There is also the file name length bug that wont allow people to play ensembles if the file name of a song is too long
My No.1 concern right now is the fact that the system has been hacked and people are just uploading midi files to the album, they are not bound by note limits and the people who are using said hack are trying to pass it off as if they are crafting these songs when in fact they take about 2 seconds to convert - on top of that, they can just steal any of our work, all they do is replace the composer with their own name - this is truly disgusting and you would think there would be SOME word from PA on this - but its been dead silence - I cant wait till one of them wins BDOVision by doing 0 work and claims physical prizes etc against those other people who put weeks + work into composing original works
- I am growing tired of the fact we are never listened to or taken seriously about anything, and certain PA GMs act like children - this is such BS now its not even funny
