    25:44 Coswald_Dirthmire: I tried to break the one that used to not break and it wasn't even spawned :/
    26:27 IamSannio: @Coswald_Dirthmire Do you remember where it was? Or can you submit a big for it after you get the location coordinates?
    27:16 Coswald_Dirthmire: @IamSannio I'll get the exact coordinates, I remembered it being on the wall behind the large shrine on the alst platform befor the wyverns
    27:59 IamSannio: Thanks. That's the one I fixed. I fixed it by moving it about 8 feet to the left. Same wall area, but not in the recessed area.
    37:19 Coswald_Dirthmire: @IamSannio I think I found the plaque at its new location, 276,-1,-370. Spawned and breakable, I just wasn't observant enough after the move
    38:03 IamSannio: @Coswald_Dirthmire Thanks for checking!

    14:55 Irishize: !Question
    Why wont my shrines work when facing West
    - Chris and Sannio answered about 1:03:45
    1:05:46 Irishize: it is only the new shrines @shroudoftheavatar
    1:06:40 Irishize: in my town anyway
    1:07:28 SereniaMellorian: In my bug report someone else mentioned that in Whyte Roc they don't work when facing south

    - About 00:15:25 Chris talked about how Elgarion was the one who made the new shrines.

    16:30 ElrondKingOfElves: !question
    teraforming pots when ?
    - Chris and Sannio answered about 01:07:25
    20:02 belladonna_rose: !question
    How is the terraforming tool going. Really would like to test it and see how it works
    1:01:32 belladonna_rose: !question
    Again....any updates on the terraforming tool. This is greatly needed for Pots

    16:56 Oop_of_the_Vale: !question

    - Chris answered about 01:19:35
    1:20:00 Oop_of_the_Vale: the birds were removed a few years ago. maybe limit to one a lot?
    - Chris responded about 1:20:10

    17:22 Nightraven1d: !Question
    Is the Bard song Atonal Aria going to get fixed. It does not matter if you single stack or 6 stack it does the same damage and length of the song.
    - Chris answered about 01:09:00
    1:11:09 Nightraven1d: I feel your right on how the bard song should follow the bard
    1:11:37 Echondas: bard is 'playing' the song.. should follow the bard.. like instruments follow the player using it
    1:12:20 Foobunny: yeah I am okay with the song following the bard. Thing I hate about bard is the length of charge up and casting... very un bard like
    - Chris responded about 1:12:35
    1:13:22 Foobunny: How about require an instrument in the offhand
    1:13:55 Echondas: make some songs instant cast, but effects stop when the song stops
    1:14:00 craftymethod: lead programmer getting involved with balance is a black hole :p
    - Chris responded about 1:14:10
    1:14:27 Coswald_Dirthmire: As a heads up, Concussive Canticle is supposed to cost focus but doesn't. In PvP it will cause the other player to loose focus instead (so can be very deadly to anyone running chaotic feedback)
    1:15:28 Coswald_Dirthmire: The "Lose xx Focus" stat is in red though, so seems like it just needs to be changed to apply to the singer and not the recipient

    17:34 DuursyrrasBohdie: !question
    when does the dragon in The Breach appear? only seen once...
    - Sannio and Chris answered about 00:48:40

    19:25 aknightowl01: !question
    from serrpeters If we cannot get Riposte to work correctly in group scenes due to buried code, then can we get a new skill to replace it?

    19:46 Paladin_Michael: !question
    what about some sorting tabs for our Quest Journal this year? |Episode 1| |Love|Courage|Truth|Oracle ... and |Episode 2| :)

    21:22 Pop_Lancermane: !question
    Check your spreadsheet for XP applied when trying to raise Meteor shower, celestial blessing, and fire flies (probably most of the moon tree) skills, they are NOT applying enough XP per attempt (as was the case with the lvl 2 skills for enchant).

    - About 00:26:00 Chris talked about a charity auction they will be putting on. The proceeds will be donated to support CatherineRose's daughter in her fight with cancer. A Lord of the Isle bundle will be auctioned. The original dippy bird will also probably be one of the items in the auction.

    - More about 01:24:40

    Any word on when you will make the update to the crafted gems letting them be broken down to fragments like the standard gems?
    1:02:46 master_elas: !question
    Any updates on updating the crafted gems to brake down into fragments like the main gems?
    1:14:15 master_elas: !question

    34:21 ElwynMoon: !question
    are you guys going to fix the enormous mining nodes we ended up with this month?
    - Sannio answered about 00:35:05
    36:24 ElwynMoon: there were quite a few of them, I know I saw some at the basement of graff mines
    - Sannio responded about 00:36:45
    36:57 ElwynMoon: some of those were already big though
    37:18 IamSannio: I'll check anyway, @ElwynMoon . Thanks!

    37:12 toular_fairloe: Is that "bigger is better" rule true for other harvestable types? Cotton, for example?
    37:50 toular_fairloe: Or garlic? I've seen garlic that's almost as tall as me...
    38:29 IamSannio: @toular_fairloe That garlic sounds too big. Please report a bug when you see super-big garlic!
    39:01 IamSannio: Only ore should get bigger in higher-threat areas. Every other resource node is a single, standard size.

    37:10 AzazelReborn: !Question (about Well of Aldur)
    Sanio, Skinning and Wave battle this is a bad idea, what is your views on it?
    - Sannio and Chris answered about 00:54:35
    55:19 The_Mad_Chef_of_Xenos: It's the best wave battle in the game!
    55:30 GwendolynObscuro: we need an option to roll for skinned loot
    58:31 Echondas: make the skinning timer near instant, like on a meticulous, that would help mitigate until a bigger change can be made?

    - About 00:37:45 and 00:40:10 - One of Elgarion's nicknames is "Young Jedi" :)

    39:07 AlleineDragonfyre: !question
    When can we expect the map system to be completed, specifically the ability for Governors to write on their own POT maps, which are currently unmarked. Thank you!

    46:06 The_Mad_Chef_of_Xenos: !question

    What's your favorite weapon type and why is it Polearms?

    47:03 craftymethod: !Question

    This part is always surprising me... At about GM in everything in bard, you can cast a song in about 2 seconds, which is not all that long. Meanwhile, the "Charging" part, sure, charging a song takes a while, but you are "Charging up" the effect to make it insanely powerful... In a group setting, which I have started testing, you have time to stack them instead, and honestly I can stack 3 songs to 6 stacks each in about 10 seconds or so, so it isn't too bad. All my focus goes into that, but 1. it works and is way faster and 2. My party expects me to be doing just that.

    Considering I give +40 Str/Dex, +130% Crit damage and some crit chance to ALL party members, with 1 song, I don't think songs should be made easier to cast, at all...

    But once again, @Wilfred, Thanks so much for these! Was very happy to be able to snipe the answers I was looking for!

    I agree, plus I feel that Savage Sonata and Rhapsody of Recovery are giving me a pretty nice bonus even without charging them up.
