Thread: Well, I didn't get the new dance...
Drygo wrote:Well, I didn't get the new dance because I *am* a n00b. I should have read the guide first. Now that I know what I'm doing I should be able to. But, I didn't realize I actually had to talk to the audience, lol. I usually tend not to spoil myself for things because I like surprises. But, you know, I thought the theater manager was just offering a suggestion to talk to the audience if I wanted to. But, I didn't feel like smoozing. LOLBy the time I realized I was supposed to all I got was "flo 8, do flo 8!" haha...but, by that time my failure was inevitable. I'll be trying again and planning to get the new dance on Saturday.
EEEEK okay that's what I'm not doing
I've been talking to half the audience just for fun to hear what silly things they'll say but not all of them.
/bonk me
I shoulda read the guide too but didn't for the same reason.
I failed twice, was gonna look up what to do today, figured there had to be some catch I wasn't getting!
/hi5 Drygo and Mauve, aloof dancers unite!

heh, it's alright... it took me a while to realize I gotta talk to the audience too. it's best done with a few friends, but doable by yourself. just double click and run while you read
Hey! Wait a minute! The more funny/creative the devs get with the script the more challenging the quest will become lol!
I'm so annoyed in fact, that I don't even want to play the rest of the day. Grrrr

Ok, I'm getting a little annoyed with this thing. I talk to all of the audience members and they only gave me like 2 helpful pieces of info. Don't do poplock, and do flourish 5, that's it. I followed those instructions and they still weren't satisfied.
Now, I could take this if I didn't have to wait 24 hours to try again. I have a feeling I'm never going to finish this quest.
/mood annoyed
Yet it seems like other people are just whipping through these performances. What the hell am I doing wrong?!

The 24 hour waiting thing is pretty annoying. I noticed on TC that before the performance, as you run around to talk to people, more people spawn in seats. The key is to read their responses like mad while you run around like an idiot. work the audience in a definite pattern - left section, then center, and leave the right section for your final 60 seconds or so - once done with the right section (double click on everyone you see in seats, if even multiple times) get on the stage. Usually I get on stage at the 30 second mark at the latest, so I don't screw that up.
Most likely they'll tell you one or two flourishes they DO like (make sure you play that a lot) and a song (or two!) they DO like. Always play those songs, and those songs only. Make a note of any song they DON'T like, and avoid it like the plague. Same with any flourishes they've "heard a million times" or "don't really like."
Tell the audience member who just saved a lot of money on his cloning insurance that with Progressive cloning insurance, they'll give you their rates AND the rates of their competitors.
Good luck!
It's also exceptionally helpful to have another person going through the audience with you - just watch what they say the whole time. When you start performing, have the person keep running around - though you will not see the audience member's chat bubbles i don't think. Make sure your friend reminds you what to do/what not to do. You just have to getthe audienceNeutral or Satisfied, I think.
all i got was 'flo 1 is really amazing if done right' and one guy told me my outfit didnt match Sucks they made the quest such a pain, and charge xp points. Oh well.
