Taking standard bard levels gives you cleric levels

[Zuldar]

Rolled up a test iconic to try out a shadar-kai swashbuckling DA and taking levels of standard bard gave me cleric levels instead.

Edit: Update, it seems standard paladin levels are also giving out cleric levels.

That's a creative way to get rid of bards!

Everyone gets cleric levels Wooooooooo

This is happening on Live?

How the heck does this happen?

Edit: Ah, U56 is live, that would explain it.

Investigating. Was this a standard trainer somewhere in the world?

LOL

I am afraid to login on my main, will wait 24 hours and at least one patch. For the love of god no one should reincarnate their main!

Tested creating Level 7 character, leveling up on the ship seemed to work as expected at least for the paladin level take.
--Took 1st level fighter, 2nd and 3rd level standard paladin and everything looked right.

Tested Level 7 and bard levels were bard levels when taking them on the ship.

Tested OP example. Created Shadar-kai. Refused Training. Went to Eveningstar Bard trainer and took level of standard bard. Got cleric skill and deity choice for feat. Character sheet shows Cleric, not bard.

I tested it with the trainers in Eveningstar than with the ones in the harbor by the entrance to dread. Both were the same.

I posted a couple short videos in the discord's bug section

On another note:

Logged into my Divine Disciple (lvl 9 cleric/lvl 1 arti) and reworked her DD enhancements. The Light and Dark (Whenever you cast a Light, Alignment or Negative spell, you gain +3 to your Negative, Light, and Alignment Spell Power for 6 seconds. This stacks up to 3/6/10 times.) seemed only to allow a one time selection for stacking up to 3 times. I could not select again and the UI icon on the tree stated 1/1.

Thanks for the insight. It appears at the moment that:

• IF you are talking to a standard trainer (Vet Status and Reincarnation don't seem to have this issue)
• AND you are trying to Multiclass, taking your first level of Standard (non-Archetype) Bard or Standard Paladin (other classes are fine)
• THEN it pops up the window to level up as a Standard Cleric instead.

We've found the issue in question, which is related to the significant overhauling done to every trainer in the game to support Archetype options. We're working on timing for getting a fix to Live, ideally as soon as possible. Thanks!

If only someone reported this on Lamannia...

I have a level 5 Dark Apostate on Lamannia (name: Drkpstt).

When I try to take standard Bard as my 6th level, I only receive 2 skill points per level (from cleric skill list) and I am offered a standard lvl 6 feat AND a class feat for Luck of Olladra. Apparently the bard trainer is actually trying to give me another cleric level.

When I try to take a Stormsinger Bard, I receive the standard 6 skills per level, one standard feat and I can select a first-level bard spell.

I suppose I should also have posted that this is not in line with what the update release notes stated:
* Light and Dark: Whenever you cast a Light, Alignment or Negative spell, you gain +3 to your Negative, Light, and Alignment Spell Power for 6 seconds. This stacks up to 3/6/10 times.

The release note statement would imply to me that there are 3 tiers of this enhancement to be purchased, but I was only able to *see* one and only able to purchase 1 tier.

BUG!

Between that and the heavy Sonic Blast nerf, I think a dev got his GF stolen by a Bard, and this is just retaliation. )

Pretty funny bug though.

Player: I want to learn to play the Harp!

Trainer: You worship Vol now, go away.
