I know I've seen mention of this elsewhere, but it isn't in the known issues list and I don't see a thread on it, so I wanted to make sure the issue gets attention.
Please fix the stuck tale music... it hurts... I can't take it any more.... BRAINS!!!!!!!
Its not nearly as bad as everyone crashing or not getting into game, but I cannot have combat sounds on at all with this, and those are of some importance.
Thanks.
This seems to happen when you enter Warspeech from horseback. Relogging fixes it.
Correct about relogging fixing it, but that is NOT a solution. Although it also happens when not on horseback... I thought this at first too, until last night :(Quote:

I confirm the issue.
This happened to me too. Every time I had to do a transition--like a ladder or a door--it made it play again. So I eventually had three flute versions of induction music playing. I had to relog to fix it.
Boy did I learn to not do that again!
I can confirm this as well. Usually happpens when I put up a Tale or enter War-speech (despite it having a completely different induction sound). Granted, it doesn't happen all the time but when I get a case of the Drums That Never Stop I find that relogging stops it. Would be nice to have it fixed, though.
I'll do some more testing but I think if you're not mounted when you switch stance it's OK.
because it really is kinda distracting.
I like my flute, but seriously, dudes.
LilyRose in Rohan on the Warsteed doesn't seem to have the problem, but my Landy alt has been plagued with it-she's pre-Moria level.
I've had my cowbell in a neverending loop twice now. both times it started while I was on horseback. I think the 2nd poster might be right it has something to do with getting in or out of warspeech.
The second time was the worst. as if all cows from the Alps had gathered in my room :o.
I put a ticket in and they responded that they were not aware of the issue , they also suggested relogging .
I didnt associate it with any action , just didnt notice until the bells started and eventually couldnt stand it .
Finally they suggested that I report it as a bug but havent done so yet .
Thought I had developed Tinnutis , only way to stop it was to turn off all combat sounds .
Lets hope they fix this soon
When activating Warspeech or a Tale of Heroism mounted it begins an endless loop of music, which I can keep adding layers of sound to if I deactivate and reactivate. Unmounting does nothing to cease the music (must re-log), but I have not had it happen when activating them while unmounted. Can't wait to take my concert with me into the auction hall! Bugged it. This is not an acceptable situation.
Based on my own experience... mounting seems to make the issue much more probable. And for that, I never activate either tale or stance while mounted. However, this did happen to me once while NOT mounted. fwiw
In my kinship, we had just figured it was turning on a tale or warspeech from horseback. The endless loop is awful.
Before RoR I noticed that sometimes one of the warleader skills would do this too----other people including the warleader could hear the continual loop of chiming. I don't know if creeps are still having this sound loop issue but on the minstrel it is absolutely obnoxious lol.
I noticed this right away after RoR launched too. I have not played my minstrel since, and for now my hunter is getting to see Rohan first. I have always considered my minstrel to be my main, but she's spending her time in the crafting hall till this gets fixed.
I reproduce this every time now.
Just switching from Red-Dawn to Rohirrim gets my minstrel into loop mode.. it reloop any skill I do after that..
Ive reported it as a bug.
It happens to me whenever I put warspeech on on horseback, or when switching discplines on my warhorse from dps to heals etc.
We experienced this and the warleader loop a lot in ROI as well. (to the point that we asked our mini to switch to drums as the bagpipes were going to make us go mad)
It seems to be a much more common occurance now though.
Im tempted to carry one of each instrument around in my bags to see if i can get it to stack high enough to be a one man band. WTB cymbals for the full effect ~_~
Same here, I suppose I'll submit a ticket today and help the cause. It's very frustrating having to hear a cowbell every second. :)Quote:

A misconception here I think. I'm pretty sure that the stance you're in on FOOT doesn't affect the stance you're in on HORSEBACK - in other words it's quite possible to do big heals in "warspeech" on horseback because you're in blue (or yellow) horse stance rather than red.
Stance-dancing is certainly part of my standard mounted combat tactic both on minnie and hunter.
yea i know. still annoying not to be able to switch as you wish.Quote:

Ouch. I've had no such issues if warspeech was up before I mounted my horse; I can stance-dance happily. Only thing I can suggest for you is to use the yellow stance for healing instead; there are a couple of decentish heals, including a very harmony-ish heal-me-damage-the-mobs coda.Quote:

I can't use blue (Rohirrim) discipline still. As soon as I activate it and use any skill that make me use my instrument it start playing and never ever stops.
It is very annoying to not be able to use my dear minstrel to it's full potential :(
I did find a workaround on the stace issue tho. If I go into war-speech before I mount my war-steed I have to deactivate it before I climb off it if I want to use something else.. also very very annoying tho because I might actually not know what stance I will need in a prolonged fight.. and yes I know it doesn't matter if I'm on war-steed but it does matter when I dismount and have to fight on the ground, and I really like to be prepared <-- this is a sidetrack and has nothing to do with the real issue described above.
Coda of the Eorlingas (harmonyish coda from riddermark stance) does not do a morale heal, but a power heal to your fellow and supposedly friendly targets.Quote:

You know.. that was/is the issue!Quote:

Switching back to Theorbo after using the Cowbell to play a tone doesn't stop the looping bell.. but the Theorbo tune stops as it should.
Hay Turbine plz fix my cowbell! :)
This must still be a bug? I have been away from LOTRO for close to a year and am back. Tonight I have had the cowbell stick twice. I couldn't figure out what was happening at first and finally realized it had to be a bug. I see this thread is months old. Would be nice if it were fixed by now.
I haven't had an occurence in months. If you are having it happen, please file a bug report so whatever the new issue is can be tracked down.Quote:

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but is anyone recently having issues with the cowbell sound looping while mounted on the warssteed- then forever when off :(
I was kicked out of a mounted fellowship yesterday as the sound was driving them nuts (I didn't even realise they could hear it- I thought the torture was exclusively mine!) I think they thought I was doing it on purpose. I'm having to play with my sound off at the moment which is rubbish- but its now affecting my ability to group.
Can you not get another instrument? The problem is exclusive to the cowbell, and since all the instruments are equivalent now there is no reason to use one specifically.Quote:

The trick will be remembering to switch to the harp before mounting my warsteed (cowbell is my dps instrument, harp is my healing instrument). I should probably just give up and ask a kin woodworker to make me a dps harp too. :pQuote:

This is kind of ridiculous. We'll look into it asap.
You have GOT TO BE JOKING!!!!!Quote:

Can I suggest you might have been better to just quietly go about fixing this.
As sometimes happens in big, complex programs-a later addition has an unexpected effect.Quote:

This is NOT a recurrence. This has been happening without fail since the release of MC. It has never gone away. I bugged it numerous times, but eventually gave up as it didn't even manage to make a known issues list. I note your earlier reply that this bug was fixed - can you please point me to the official Turbine post confirming the fix? I thought not. On that basis, my somewhat snarky reply is, I feel, totally justified. It will be interesting to see if a fix appears in the forthcoming patch.Quote:

1) Never mind pointing me to Turbine saying the problem was fixed, can you even point me to where they acknowledge it existed, despite repeated threads and bug reports?
2) For a Dev to say "this is ridiculous" trivialises the issue, in terms of the impact on players and/or previous responses by Turbine. I take exception to this patronising, casual, off-hand and unprofessional response. That plus "asap" is what triggered the tone of my response. As they say, you reap what you sow.
I had the bug too, and it was freaking annoying. It did indeed get resolved for most of us minstrels, to my knowledge some time ago. I could search for the patch notes, but basically don't see a reason to do so when you're being rude to me as well now. You'll have to exercise your own searching powers...
I read Deviled Egg's comment as frustration that a bug they thought had been squashed had somehow been revived. Having been there, and done that myself, I empathize. Bug chasing can take on definite aspects of Whack-a-Mole.
And that's pretty much my last word to you on this thread.
It was continuously in effect from early July to at least the release of HD. I can't comment on anything earlier than that since that's when I got a computer capable of running Rohan. Looking at the post dates, it appears that the bug existed at release of RoR, was fixed by March(?), then reappeared some time after that.Quote:

Scroll up for more of the history. It was such a freaking nightmare at the time on my mini-made my ears bleed. They put a patch in that I thought fixed it for all instruments (with possibly one exception, I do not remember clearly at this point). Clearly, Deviled Egg also thought it was largely fixed, thus her comment above.Quote:

I haven't had the loop on any instruments-I mainly use harp, but I did use several others over the last year, including cowbell. I wonder if trading out instruments would break the loop? Then perhaps you could go back to your preferred instrument. I don't know if that would help, but it might be worth a try.
