Thread: Performance Enhancements: List
This list started because I wanted us to have a quick reference to the prop suggestions in
href="http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=dancer&message.id=11148&page=1" target=_blank>LeBob’s Dance Pole
thread… then I took a relook at
href="http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=dancer&message.id=10909&page=1" target=_blank>Sultrina’s Dreamwork’s
thread… then I totally lost my mind and went back to posts as old as the forum.
It had been a while since I had gone back and read some of the really old threads and they made me remember:
- My guild is right, I really do have enough cheerleader “spirit” to power 20 squad A’s
- A lot of these ideas have been mentioned over and over again
- How much I really liked Ravenmist *sniff*
- How much FlawedDiamond used to post

/fall – triggered only, please 
/startdance – looped dance anims for non-ents so they can interact with us and boogie to the band (we think they might love
to take the fall anim rolls off of our hands, hehe)
If it would fit in with the theme, don't forget the group commands that have been tossed around here: group sync flourishes (if people want xp to be given back to the band for bandflos, since it's won't increase afks), group changedance and group sync effects (dazzle etc) and any other commands that will facilitate putting on a show. Another idea is the ability to shift position on the floor without stopping dance... would be incredibly useful.
The ones on this list are just our extra pure fun options. So far we know we want things like these and the devs have given a small nod to the concept of props, but details have never been worked out. These are just some fun ideas to keep in the back of our minds when we do have a chance to present something.

Let me say: wow. Really *g* Wow. 
I really hope we get just a fraction of that list realized 
I miss Flawed and the othergirls and guysfrom beta and early release 
As a dancer all I can say is wow, even just a few of these would be a great addition to the game! 
...and as a tailor, yay, give us more dancing clothes to make!!!
The hoops thing got me. What are we doing with the hoops? Twirling them on our hips, arms, holding them, or juggling with them? All of those sound like fun but I think a use list with each item would help. Well pom poms is obvious but some stuff can be used in many different ways. I'm all for this list that was created.
This sounds like fun too. Hopefully they will put most of these items into the game for us to use while dancing.
Are they going to have gender specific stuff? I think there should be some stuff for guys only and some stuff for guys only. Well some people will want equality for each. I think there should be some gender specific stuff. Well it sounded cool in my head.
I could see the hoops just being held. I don't think it would be any more boring than seeing someone holding a sword... or holding a scythe, or a lance... Each one is interesting. And it would be something different.
Spinning them might be strange for the game to implement.... but... well, they have vehicles that can hover right?
So how about a special ring that is sort of suspended on the body. I Kinda have a 'jetsons' feel in my head with what I'm thinking of, but I think it would also look pretty intrigueing. (of course when implemented it could just look funky)
Did anyone ever put a slinky on their arm like a sleeve? That's what I'm thinking. Like 3 hoops on the arm- but not touching it. (that's where the hovering thing comes to mind) Darn I can draw this but not describe it... The rings of saturn! Tada! I dunno, it just might look silly, but I hink it would be interesting with the flowing arm movements of Exotic 3.
But still, even holding rigs like we'd hold the fan would just be a new visual for us to see.
Gender specific stuff would be interesting too. I'd say something like a top hat for men, but sometimes girls just look cool like that. Hmm, I can't think of anything soley for guys....

How about a standing billboard for inside cantinas that would worklike outdoor signs? They could have a big star in the middle where you can control what it says through the cantinacontrolbox. They couldsay "Presenting.... (you fill in the star)"
The list is super! Gimme gimme gimme
