Dev Post on SOE Boards: Summoner Hearts and Shards

Aeralik wants to condense all of the Hearts and Shards into a single spell:

Summoner Hearts and Shards

Quote:

While we are doing the consistant naming conventions, I was thinking of combining the summoner heart and shard spells into just one spell for each class. It seems redundant to have 5 versions plus a raidwide summon when you really only need one. The summoned shard would then scale in relation to the level of the player using it. Overall it would be low impact I think and remove some levels of unnecessary redundancy.
Obviously, the new spell would pick up the name players choose. It would also pick up the highest version of the line so if you had one mastered out then the resulting merged spell would be a master spell as well. It's a small change overall but seems to fit in with the scope of going to consistant naming only in this case you really don't need all of the upgrades.

That should pretty much kill my "#1 master ability" server-wide ranking *sigh*, I wish I wasn't so god damn sexy that Aeralik insists on trying to fuck me in the ass. I guess I'll have to work harder to crawl up from 4th in deaths or something.

With any luck, I can use the upcomming spell upgrade researching to get Revivication Master II; and continue to bask in unadulterated redudunancy.

At least the official forums on this matter isn't completely filled with SOE fanbois praising there every move, but perhaps Kiara hasn't cleaned it up yet.

i don't mind it being condensed(if they mean 1 spell for both classes) since shards > hearts but making it so everyone will have a master spell for free is sorta lame.. hope that will be changed some how. many people have spent a good amount of effort to master their characters.
