really disorganized 
please read the last post for the new info 
from http://swvault.ign.com/ Question: Will there ever be anything more for non-combat types to do? Of the 20+ dungeons and theme parts, there is almost nothing that non-combat types can do. Kirk black took the reigns on this question. First of all, there is a lot of new Entertainer quests that are on Test Center currently which are very exciting. Also, there is the Hutt Casino which is planned for implementation "eventually" that will be non-combat focused. Lastly, Kirk said that his visualization of the GCW was not just combat-related but also how non-combat types play their roles in the struggle. It is his intention to make certain that each profession, particularly the non-combat ones, have a role in the GCW.
so where exactly are these new very exciting Entertainer quests?....... are you referring to the broken Theater Manager thing?
and in the future.... it might be a good idea to tell us stuff like this before telling some reporter...

ok I just logged onto TC2 with a 0000 entertainer and went to meet this person... I talked to him and got all the way to him asking me if I was ready to audition... I answered yes then he asked if I was a Dancer or a Musician... I said Musician... then nothing.... no error, no waypoint, no anything........ maybe one needs to be a novice Musician / Dancer for it to work?
if so, the NPC should say something like "come back when you have more experience"
Is this even supposed to be on TC yet?
related I talked to two nobles within 5 meters of this guy that asked me if I would do a job for them.... I said yes and one gave me a musician gig and the other a dancer gig.... but the gigs were no different than our mission terminal gigs.......... 100 credits to travel 6Km and play in some cantina........... IT COSTS MORE THAN THAT TO SIMPLY TRAVEL THERE......... we did not want our mission terminals copied over to NPCs...... we need new missions and quests all together

Yeppers, all the code just doesn't seem to be there yet. They'll talk to you, but nothing beyond that. They are scheduled for a mini-publish before publish 10 so they should be made to start working here soon. Anything they add to the world, they always have to add with the main publish, even if its not working yet until a later mini-publish(take the ID tents last publish for example). Hopefully they'll get them working soon because I'm anxious to test them

I was referring to the line above. I quoted the "new info on original post" to let you know I was responding to your edit of the OP.
Have you seen it in the Patch Notes? Have they asked people to test it? RS does not hand hold every stage of testing and implementation. He's more a big picture guy unless he has direct involvement (like he did with the ID revamp). The quests are "In Testing"which actually has many mini phasesand some part of them was on TC when he said this. I don't mind going toe to toe with Kirk, but let's wait till we have something to get worked up about.
Thanks.
no, they have not asked us to test it.... I assume (after seeing that interview transcript) they have either neglected to or forgotten to
I would not consider one line in the patch notes saying "Entertainer quests are now on TC" as a " hand hold "
I may have overreacted a bit, but I just don't want another " Player Theater "for our community to deal with.... just trying to get the word out that at least some of this is on TC so those that are willing can go test it...
thanks

Bob, these might suck. I am fully prepared for them to suck. I have no idea yet. I keep asking to test them, they keep telling me they aren't ready yet.
I'm guessing that RS does not know what state they are in on TC right now. I know he thinks they are cool.
When they want us to test it, it will be in the notes. I'll scream with you if it's not fun when we see the full deal... till then, let's try to stay calm.
Tess is most likely our best posting Tester right now, she'll give us a heads up I'm sure. She already had a post about this in fact. Deila is an active tester now. I'm on TC at least as much as I'm on live. The alarm will be sounded when/if it needs to happen.
There's nothing wrong or sneaky about a Dev hyping some new content in an interview that isn't ready yet. (Also keep in mind that RS could not answer questions on how to give Ent Buffs in the Ent Panel at FF... also keep in mind that he doesn't react well to negativity... also keep in mind that I am already pushing him as much as I can for better communication... work with me here, I'm doing the best I can)

That was RS... he said that in the Ent Panel as well. He also said it in one of the other big panels he was on... this isn't really new info though. What exactly are you thinking is new?
- We have new "quests" coming down
- We have a Hutt Casino in the works
- The GCW revamp is going to extend non-combat roles
TH has been telling us this for months... so has JustG.

"First of all, there is a lot of new Entertainer quests that are on Test Center currently which are very exciting"
where has any dev said that this is currently on TC besides in this interview?
I know they have been telling us for a long time that it is coming, it is coming........ but I read the Dev Tracker everyday.... every word and I have yet to see any Dev say that this is currently on TC.......... if it is currently on TC and no Dev has said as much, then we are being denied our chance to test it and clear up any bugs in it
don't get me wrong.... I will be thrilled to officially hear that it is on TC and ready to test, but the problem I am having is that nobody told us.
my post above saying that there is new information in my original post was regarding the answer that was given in the interview with regards to what information I currently have in this thread....... therefore it was new to the thread
thanks

- Entertainer Quests: Judges should now spawn properly.

So it seems that they did in fact forget ( or neglect ) to tell us that this is on TC/TC2 and ready to test.
Either way..... progress.

I'll be sure to check this tonight. Not much I can do right now. I checked this last night and there is a 24 hour timer between auditions. Since I couldn't complete it before I failed it. So tonight I test!
It is worth noting that a novice entertainer just attempted these and could not progress, nor did they get any messages/etc. It seems you need to at least be a novice elite to do these quests.

Yup, I was that novice...I got so far as the manager asking whether I wanted to do music or dance and then there was nothing more. When TC2 unlocks, I'll take entertainment skills and see what happens...
