    Great job devs. Much appreciation for all your hard work and time.

    I'm sure someone's mentioned it, but since the patch Selo's Song of Travel gives a "you feel yourself starting to appear" message while playing the song, which it never did previously. Shauri's Sonorous Clouding doesn't give the message while playing, but you get it after you stop song and it starts to wear off, which also never happened previously. I don't know if bards are not supposed to get any "you feel yourself starting to appear" messages at all (ie: a group member casts invis on them), or just from their songs, but currently, something has changed.

    It's spam to get the message in between every song pulse, while the song is playing. Can it be made like Shauri's Sonorous Clouding, so you don't get the message between song pulses, and it shows up only once the song is stopped?

    Can probably take the spam out, its duration calc was adjusted and I didn't realize it would do spam like that.

    I had an absolute BLAST playing this launch. You all nailed it, I was incredibly impressed with the smoothness of the launch. Thank you for all that you do.

    Sounds like our invis wear off logic is off. On Live servers, bard invis will give a warning but only occasionally.

    On AK, invis spells gave an "about to wear off" message when they were about to wear off randomly, but not if they were about to wear off due to reaching their maximum duration.

    Bard invis, of course, would always refresh after failing a check regardless, but still gave the same "uh oh, your invis is about to fade early!" message when that happened.

    They didn't give the "uh oh" message every single tick due to the song's short duration, as Selo's recently seems to started doing here.

    Figured this is as good a place as any. Guilds, please take a moment to update our historic table for kill achievements! It's always nice to look back at the progress we've made.

    https://wiki.takp.info/index.php?title=TAKP_Guild/Tier_Listings

    If you aren't comfortable editing the table yourself, feel free to PM myself or @Mokli, We only need the date.
