So this isn’t really a “Bug,” more a limitation, and not anything majorly important, but considering I spent money on an this I feel like being able to comment and suggest improvements shouldn’t be out of the question.
So I have been playing the harp again recently, and after practicing more I have started to increase the speed at which I play. After this something came to my attention: When swapping to an octave and back; from the lowest or highest octave, if you press the corresponding key to swap back before the octave has actually swapped, it will ignore this input.
A demonstration of the keys required to duplicate such an effect:
(single excerpt from most “Song Of Storms” sheets)
(Lowest octave -> Middle octave -> Lowest octave etc.)) 2 4 0 2 9 2 4 0 2 9
If executed quick enough (Can also be replicated by just swapping between the more outlying of the octaves to the middle octave and back, including higher -> lower -> higher) it will not change to the original octave.
A similar input shifted up an octave has no such problems.
(Middle octave -> Highest octave -> Middle octave etc.) 2 4 0 2 9 2 4 0 2 9
I can only speculate at the cause of such an error, but it seems to be caused by the “Locked” skill which would typically be used to return to the previous octave. As it is pressed before the game has registered the change of octave, the command seems to be ignored as if no key has been pressed.
(I apologise if I missed anything of importance, not used to reporting bugs, and typically just a reader not a writer on the forums, with little attention to what I do post)
