Its time for players to be able to silence buskers and their awful "Red Diamond," "Sway As We Kiss," and "Plane Meld" songs. There are only so many times you can tolerate it.

    I like this plan.

    Bards used to be killable, back when the Justice System was first added. So it's certainly an option.

    No thanks. You can just move along outside their listening range. I don't see why people should be able to ruin the enjoyment for everyone else.

    I'm someone that often afk's near bards or manages my inventory near them so I can enjoy the songs.

    If this was a solo game I wouldn't care, but you shouldn't be able to remove something like this that others enjoy in a shared game.

    Ooo, or even better, make bards attackable, but when they are attacked, they turn from -bards- to -guards-. And then, after the attacker is piffed, have them turn back to bards.

    Hahaha, but instead of killing you they follow you around singing even louder

    I'd only kill the ones whose mouths don't move when they sing. Because that's clearly unnatural and therefore some form of Daedric influence.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Or, or, OR, allow you to interact with the Bard and you pay them gold to stop singing.

    That NPC won't be there if you don't log in inside in the crafting area. So log in outside the crafting building then go inside.

    No. I'd rather they just make them not be justice NPCs and give a toggle for their sound. That way people who want to enjoy them can do so

    Turning off the music doesn't silence the bards.
    Muting the NPCs doesn't silence the bards.
    Turing down the effects volume DOES silence the bards.
    Why? Because ESO!

    I have to stop & listen when this boat goes by as his voice is beautiful & the song lovely. Wonderful.

    They were killable originally. But it was patched out after a year or two.

    You mean like the awful bard in High Isle that sings the off-key All Flags song? I think he's embarrassed by his lack of talent and keeps his mouth closed like a ventriloquist so that people will think he's the anti-Milli Vanilli.

    If this ever happens... That one Bard in Western Skyrim who sings to rocks will probably be the least murdered one of them all.

    *Argonian bard's vossa-satl frog croaking intensifies*
    Main is Blue-Thuxis, a Argonian stamSorc, whose also is a werewolf! 2nd main, Cobalt-Thuxis, a Argonian stamArc, an identical twin sister to Blue-Thuxis, even is a werewolf as well! some alts:
    Nirn-Scale Rajthux (Argonian, Templar), Ros-Ei Nature-Thuxis (Argonian, Warden), Crimson-Thuxis (Argonian, DK), Bone-Thuxis Tharn (Argonian, Necro) Why Bone-Thuxis has Tharn as a last name:
    The siblings were separated at a young age due to a Dres slaver raid, Blue, Cobalt, Ros-Ei & their mother were able to escape, Crimson & Bone weren't that lucky. Crimson was later "rescued" by some Orcs that later ambushed the House Dres Dunmers, unfortunately one Dunmer remained & sadly successfully brought the young Bone-Thuxis to the Dres plantation. Later an Imperial, a Tharn, bought Bone at a auction & later told he was free, the young Argonian sadly had no idea where to go & doesn't know if his family was still alive, so the Tharn adopted him into House Tharn. This family of Argonians finally reunited years later.
    , Kenneth Clyde (Nord, Sorc), Selene Gray-Thuxis (Argonian, Nightblade), Urmanda (Orc, Warden)
    Some ESO history: I originally started from PS4 NA during June 10, 2015, I did reached CP 810+ on there. I eventually kinda got tired of paying PS+, so during February 4, 2019 I started moving to PC NA. Also CP: 810+. Nowadays I play ESO PC mostly, while PS4 is dust.
