Dancer Archive

Actually, a friend of mine spotted this on one of the forums. I went to peek and it had been pulled down. However, she was awesome enough to cut/paste the information so I have it:

Based upon feedback from the Correspondents and Fan Fest attendees the Entertainer profession will receive a new music and dance icon as well as 6 new entertainer abilities. Read on for more details.

Moved Player Bounty Hunting to the Master Bounty Hunter skill Box
Bounty Hunter Jedi missions (1) no longer list Jedi names and (2) prevent you from determining Jedi’s level via mission payout

Pilots that drop a pilot profession will no longer lose an extra 10% experience if they have an inspiration buff.

Profession: Jedi
FS Village, Phase 4:
Increased the frequency of the Sith Shadow Pirates spawn to make the Village Assault (Ranged Speed / Melee Defense) quest is now easier to complete
Players that are using force cloaked will no longer be targetable
Jedi heals will no longer cost Force and Mind if the target does not require healing

Armor / Weapons
Fixed an Issue with the Mabari Gloves

UI
Removed the version number from the splash screen. If you would like to retrieve the version number, press CTRL+SHIFT+G in game.
Master Badges will now be granted during the token respec period
Fixed the range indicator so it packs down when HAM bars are invisible.

GCW
Reduce TEF timer to 2.5 minutes.
Combat between a bounty hunter and a Jedi for which the bounty hunter has a bounty mission will result in a "bounty hunter TEF". No other TEF (such as factional TEF, for example) is applied. The "bounty hunter TEF" will prevent both the bounty hunter and Jedi from entering player structures, and will eject the player from a player structure if the TEF is received while the player is in the player structure.
Guild war pvp no longer results in a TEF, unless the combatants are a bounty hunter and a Jedi for which the bounty hunter has a bounty mission, in which case it will result in a "bounty hunter TEF".
Opposing factional TEF and "bounty hunter TEF" are applied to both combatants as soon as any of the combatants attacks.

Quests / Loot
Mellichae now drops his cyborg arm as loot.
Mellichae and Daktar Bloodmoon now drop more appropriate loot.
NPC Jedi can now drop medpacks, clothing, and pistols as loot.

AI
Fixed an error case where AI would emit a "?" over its head when a non-threat approached.
Pets: If a pet attacks a mob, the mob will now also be aggressive to the pet's master. So if you send a pet on a mob, and the pet dies, the mob will attack you. If you send your pet to attack a lair, mobs from the lair will additionally attack you.
Pets: Pets now inherit the same aggro radius reduction as their master. Previously a lvl 80 player with a lvl 40 pet could possibly have an AI aggro the pet, but not the player. Now the pet has the same aggro radius as the player.
Pets: A pet can no longer pull a mob without getting within the aggro radius of or attacking a mob. Previously just telling a pet to attack a mob initiated the pet and the mob in combat instantly.
Pets: A pet no longer stops attacking a lair (or any immobile AI) after a short period of time. They will continue to attack as ordered.
Pets: Fixed a case where pets could lose their ranged weapons when incapped and not regain the weapon until stored/recalled.

More songs and dances = GOOD

Featured Solo
Laser Show
Fire Jet 2

So those are supposed to be the justification for and the contents of what was formerly the healing branch now? Color me not impressed if that's true... I do hope that's not all that will be forthcoming

Fixed exotic flourishes so they now function properly

Does that mean that each exotic dance now has the full 8 working flourishes or is that too much to hope for?

Battle Fatigue is no longer acquired and entertainers can no longer heal it.
Entertainer's and elite professions' skill branches have been reworked to accommodate these changes.

Yeah, right...

Add props to old healing branch
Dance props
Staff
Sword
Sparkler
Glowstick
Torch
Ribbon
Double Ribbon
Mystical Ribbon
Double Mystical Ribbon
Sparkle Ribbon
Double Sparkle Ribbon
Also, at novice dancer or higher, dancers can duel wield props.

Nice, that will really give a boost todance performances - however, I just have to wonder if musicians will get something too, because our former healing branches are somewhat barren if all we get is three new effects

Yay!! I never saw why my new alt char should have tothrow awaya respec he could very well need later on just to get his Master Rifles/Master Smuggler badges.

*Retracted until notes are finalized*

Thanks for catching that stuff, Gothy!!!

Thanks.

As far as the content thing...the "that's it?" type feeling...I know we all feel it. But I also know that they're releasing updates to the professions in stages, so I'm hopeful. I know we have more coming than just the new props and all; I'm happy they're fixing a lot of things which have been borked.

Can I put any more happy smilies in my posts?

I know...this was just a first draft and I do admit, they pulled it. So either it's not ready, there really is more coming..well..something. I remain hopeful that we'll get more Musician love and that we'll get more than what is listed. Could be that this is laying the groundwork for more things coming, which is what they said they were going to be doing for all professions. They realize that dedicating a single publish to one profession isn't very cool.

I'm sorry but there are a number of items in that list that seem "off". Not just our's but some of the items for the other professions too. Let's hold off on getting our hopes up until a list is posted on In Testing and not removed. But I'm hoping for the best and yes..our stuff *could*go to TCas soon asthis week.

I was hoping you guys got armor that wasn't actually armor and all the weapons (minus lightsaber) that don't have any stats. =/ bummer

Swing with no stand-up bass? What the hell ARE they thinking?

I just want to know what it will take to have us simply play the Rebel them and the Imperial theme.

Is that so hard?
