You know me Mclaren A music major must learn piano as well as take theory and all that jazz, but you don't have to do the other instruments if you are a performance major. But piano is required for everyone... As for what you are saying, there is no minor in it technically (or at least to my knowledge...) You will have to take a music computer tech class within the major. That class usually covers all of the programs used for electronic music control. Some of these include audacity, digital performer, and garageband. Auralia is a program that teaches theory to students as well as helps with improvisation on piano. Finale and Sibelius are very popular composing programs where you are literally writing the music note by note. I know there is a masters/doctorate degree with music tech, but I don't know about undergrad... If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask

I am a Music Education Major currently (1 academic semester left then I will be student teaching). If you are interested in music, I would strongly encourage you to think about how much time you can put into practicing as well as long nights of homework. Being a music major is not easy at all. My university requires 148 credits to graduate, which is a 4.5 to a 5 year degree, if you take 18+ hours/semester. With summer school, I will be done in 4 thankfully. Practicing is the key. At the end of every semester, you have to perform a jury in front of professors to judge your progress over the semester. Most colleges require 6 hours of practice per credit hour of applied instrument study. That means if the applied class is 2 credit hours, then you need to practice 12 hours a week. The other thing about being a music major is learning theory. I have to say, this is the hardest and easiest thing I have ever learned. The material is ridiculously hard once you get into altered chords and atonal theory. It begins to be enjoyable when you have drilled the information for countless amounts of hours. And it is not basic theory and chords for guitar, because I play guitar too.. This is tonal theory that was set in the late 17th century and early 18th century by Jean Jacques Rameau (spelling). You will have to learn the chord progressions that were established by him and later set by Bach's numerous compositions for the English church. So it isn't just basic chord patterns we know today, this is different in many aspects... Piano and singing are your next thing to consider. You will have to sing sol feg (spelling) with basic melodies in all keys and clefs. Eventually, you will sing modulations using altered chords or just basic pivot modulations. Piano is required of all music majors to learn. So if you have trouble reading choir scores or playing simple pieces, this might be an issue... I am a violin major, but I play all of the instruments within the string family. You will also have to take classes and learn how to play all instrument that can be found in an orchestral setting (woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion) as well as vocal methods class. You don't have to master them all, but be knowledgeable of how to teach/play them. For a performance major, it is a little different.... There is more theory! and 24 hours of required practice per week... Other than that, its basically the same without the education classes. If you have any specific questions, you can always forum pm me or pm me in game when I am on and I will chat about it with you. *EDIT* As for money, musicians make a decent amount of money, trust me I currently make 30$/hr teaching privately and performing in orchestras in my area. If all you are wanting to do is teach music in the public schools, you are looking for a rough start though, but the lack of money can easily be filled with money from performing. The concert master of the Philadelphia Orchestra makes 600,000$+ currently, so the money is there

Just an idea, you can also add to the spell (to remove adding any other indication of if the target is out of range for regular spells) the same "Too Close" message that comes when ranging so that you know that you are too close to cast. Even though, the only way to get this message is to precast the spell and then click (much like tele to range...) You are still using essies/mana, but over time you will learn your max range and it can be useful. Otherwise, it will be costly until you learn this.... Seeing as this is a skill for a skilled mage and not a noob (assuming this will be >50 mag), the player might already be use to casting harm and knowing their maximum distance. The other option is not to make a spell that increases other spells, but to make a spell like enhanced harm that requires more essies that has a bigger range than the normal harm. By every block or so, decrease the strength of the spell. Maybe your max perception range should be i.e. 50% of your normal harm? This means the immediate harm in front of you would be your max harm. Though this seems contradicting from what we are seeing, are we not just trying to increase the harm distance? Just my 2 cents, Cyrus

I see the toads now, thanks ^^ But is there really a way that you can prevent certain items from entering an instance? That will take some time writing, unless I am just that stupid with coding I <3 the idea. But, what if you are wanting to mule? Can you use Creature food to get into instance? It is a potion'd item. I know you could get around this by picking the stuff up right before you enter before the 30 secs are over... Just curious what your thoughts are on this.

What is the loss in this? I don't see any negative things that can happen (or persuade radu to implement it) There is no money sink like instances (rostos, he, sr, armor, swords, tokens, scales, etc...). I guess the only loss as you have proposed it is the fact that you didn't finish..... This instance would be long or short, depending on the required items to pass to the next level... My suggestion, make the map poisonous or give it radiation damage that can't be blocked (WS Sewers) when moving. Another idea is to increase the damage dealt when harvesting as well as how often it strikes. (Maybe remove the mini events and have all new instance harvesting events?) Or if you do not fulfill the objective after a certain time, a rather weak wave of monsters would be spawned (Also possibly having a chance to drop food/instance requirement items) Though this will only promote waiting till the time runs out and farm the food/instance items.... So probably a no on that idea... If you want to go more in depth on what you might lose in this (why carry a rosto?) gc wise. My 2 cents, Cyrus

Regardless of if he was a good tank or not... There can't be a reason for faking a screenie other than him wanting to bj a DB. You don't just fake a screenie for fun..

If you want to level fast, I hope you have a lot of gc, otherwise it will take a while.... If you want to kinda break even or make a small profit when ranging, look at Dugur's thread. That's how I am training currently

Hi, I have been a ranger for about 2 months now, and I have come to love the skill. I have killed 100+ dragons and I am knowledgeable about pinning and farming in instance/invasion/gen farming... With that said, I tested some bows out... I have the WH perk and ER perk with 28 ranging and 60 ap now. I can kill a rd with only 55 arrows with an elven bow. The max damage is 59 atm. After I farmed about 100+ of them, I found a deal for some pk bolts and I invested in them. According to el wiki, the crossbow damage is only 2 less than the elven bow (max and min...xbow 10-15 and elven 12-17). When I was farming with PK bolts, I only did 51 damage max. I do not see where the 8 point difference in damage comes in when the max damage is only 2 different. Do the pk bolts have lower damage by chance? not +30 damage? Just my thoughts, let me know what you think.

Not to sound stupid, but all this has turned into is a bash on AP pots. Ugh, why do people go so off topic when a simple question is asked? Nvm then, I was just curious about the damages. Thank you all who contributed to my understanding of how the xp is distributed between the WH perk and natural xp.

Solve all problems, don't use bags! Mix in inventory, it works just fine....

I kinda like the idea, but there shouldn't be an addition to the spell to use different ing's and have to make another button ingame.... just make 2 spells

What? Affording AP is not an easy task in it's own for most players. It gives lower a/d'ers a chance to stand a chance doing something that most people can't =D. Plus if it was required for your range level to be HIGH to be efficient, then well YOU are on your own in an invasion. Because albeit fighters can do a lot, even RD's and what not. It's almost always rangers taking out the Icy's and stuff in invasion. Just more people with high skills talking about mistakes and what not that don't effect them anyway. I hate to say it, but me being able to range and do well with it shouldn't be a topic of discussion. The fact that I put 900kgc into ranging is enough said.... I range for fun and to kill high monsters, not for general uses, so why not use AP? I know the natural ap's and whatnot, but if it is in-game, why can't I use it? People who would agree with you cruella probably also have AP and have experienced farming with bows, and now say that it is wrong that low lvl people can do what they can with a considerable difference in ranging level. The fact that I am also training the skill should say enough... I didn't kill dragons for only gc, but the target does not move when pinned and has high HP so I don't have to chase rats or bears. I do use PK arrows yes, because when I started ranging, I could not carry enough training arrows to the dragon to be able to kill it.... I can now. I have been farming to get AP, and I just maxed it. And btw, any lvl 0 ranger with enough arrows can kill a dragon, so me killing it faster isn't an issue if everyone can do it (if they know how to pin/unpin etc.) I usually use arrows, I only used bolts because someone was selling 1k bolts for a good price. I also agree with the PD on the casty. Some high level monsters should probably be melee only, but after those 2k PD are taken out, rangers can still take over So far, I am assuming the answer has not been revealed. All we have concluded so far (I'm assuming) is that EL Wiki is wrong on stats of the bows and pk arrow/bolt's damages. And I use elven when I hunt dragon because I use rosto. I've tried without rosto, and my low def/hp has shown itself easily to be a problem when pinning. (And yes, I do know how to pin without losing any hp and not using diss, there are just lag spikes that hit everyone nowadays.. I don't take a chance)

Only 55 arrows with ranging 28? Red Dragon has 3500HP, 55 arrows * max damage 59 = 3245 (without a single miss and with 100% armor bypass) Ohhhhh I forgot that you have ER perk. But still I think it is impossible It is not impossible, you can come watch me anytime and ill do screenies for you to see I usually shoot 73-80 arrows (I counted the shots) but only used 55 of the arrows in my inventory. It can be done, trust me As for the damages, I believe the crossbow is no where near as strong as the elven. These are just my thoughts,

This probably has an effect on it, also I wouldn't trust numbers provided by el-wiki (and this would better be discussed in that wiki's discussion pages) The damage numbers included were both calculated with WH, as in I have had the perk ever since 0 rang lvl I have seen those damage numbers in a thread in these forums, not the arrow damaged though. I guess I am saying that PK bolts, even though more accurate, do less damage without factoring in the bow damages

Hi, The IP I am posting from use to not be able to play EL unless I used Learner's Proxy Service. This IP is my college's IP in my dorm. Last week, I moved back in and for some reason, was able to log on EL without the proxy! This was amazing. I went home this weekend and came back tonight. I tried logging on and I log into game, but as soon as I log in, I disconnect. I can see my char and what is around me and everything, but it is like I am not keeping connection. I tried on a couple chars and both had the same problem. To be honest, I am not sure why I could play without proxy last week due to me having to purchase it before. The only thing I can possibly come up with is the server change, but I dont know anything about that. I am not crashing or anything, but if for some reason EL is blocked by the school again, I will just get the proxy service. I am posting here to see if it is something else first..... So, any ideas? Cyrus

Ok....now they must have just blocked the website.... I can't access it through the school now.... So I am not sure what to do. They just updated the security at school, so I am thinking they are just firewalling everything... they also blocked fb games as well.... Ok so the question is, will the proxy service fix this? I have had it before and its just because they blocked port 2000, but this is ridiculous. I can log in but it immediately disconnect....so I don,t know if it will work or not. I would love to test and see if Learner would be willing. I don,t want to send in the money if it isn't going to work.

This IP address use to block port 2000. I am not sure why it use to work and now it doesnt. Well, It still works, but I don't know why I immediately disconnect. What will the MTR program do to help me solve this?

UPDATE I have tried all servers (main, pk, test). Same thing on all servers. Any ideas?

.

SOLD

I liked the X a lot

Any updates on this project? I am curious about having EL on my android

I posted this information in the 1.9.1 RC2 client thread I think.... I have had the same problem, same coords.

I hate to say this, but I have seen this before over the few years I have been playing, and I think this is the most pathetic excuse for trying to ruin someone's EL reputation. Will I forgive you? No. Even though I was not involved in this, I have known bralex ever since I started playing in '05. To even accuse him of this is ridiculous. Yes, we all have had out immature pasts, but nothing needs to brought up, especially from 2007, kav. Everyone knows me and knows that I usually am in a neutral position, but bralex would never do this. And yes, before anyone starts blabbling that he didn't do it, I know, I can read . My opinion of you is horrible, and I don't think it will ever change. Does that matter to you or anyone else? I would think not, unless you are an insecure person and this reply hurts your feelings..... Either way, I would lay low for a while, and thats not a threat because I don't pk/whatever. It is advice for you because bralex is a well known player to all. There is my 2 cents! *EDIT* grammar and wrong words
