Use Shift+Enter for single.







all the other base classes offer a lot to the master classes, entertainer is just a punishment for people trying to have fun



Everybody says this that isn't hung up on some combat inferiority complex. I don't want to prove that my Socializer playstyle is valid, I just want to freaking play it and have fun.


That was supposed to be the point in including these profs - helping us do this better than we can in other games, not making our social play goals harder to meet as well as any other play goals we might have. Jeez, why does that sound like a good thing to anyone in here?


Entertainer has served as a cause and not as a game feature for this community long enough.

Removing the sp and making entertainer a queest based would be great if the people doing it had some more imagination with the quests too. I could see something like entertain in X number of venues for X minutes or entertain with a group for X minutes. Things along those lines instead of entertain X people.


As for a hybrid profession that could use entertainer...spies. One line of ID and a combat profession (unarmed? pistols?) or even some scout (mask scent?) and voila one little guy that is a pain to find who can mask his/her faction, looks, species and name. and why not? would be fun and could be another victim of BHs (or potential victim ala smugglers). The disguises would work like a buff and could be aplied to other in short durations (an hour or two). anyone like the idea? hell I've even got an idea for a slaver, but fat chance that ever making the light of day (political correctness problems and all). and spies would give ID some more content no? at least a little anyways.

Entertainer prereqs and skill progression set up the same way has never felt right to most people nor has it ever made sense to most.

The great majority of people who are playing the Entertainer elites hate the way the profs are leveled no matter how much they love the profs and are extremely resentful of the bloated SP investment that is required to have access to these skill sets.


Really ? I never met an entertainer complaining he was obliged to learn the basics of Entertainer to get Dancer or Musician. I may have totally miss that (still possible) but I don't recall even once when such complain came during a conversation in an entertainer group (you know, the groupchat...). SP speaking or not.
I understand it has no sense for some people but the great majority ???


I know people were worried about SP when pre-CU buffs were removed. Now entertainers were given new buffs... the situation is different.


The only regular, but rare,regret (and no complain) I hear is about the Master Entertainer Dance/Songs, not about prereqs and skill progression.

Personally, I don't mind the sp investment for myself..if I had extra sp to do something with, I'd only wish there was more entertainer stuff I could toss it into.


I have gotten A Lot of feedback here on the forum and in PMs from players who would like for our sp investment to be reduced.However, when I have polled here forspecific dataon this topic,the majority of respondentshave been adamantly againsta reduction.


I am open to discussing reduction in sp investment for the Dancer profession boxes. Istill contend that theappropriate place to suggest changes to the Entertainer profession iswith that profession's forum.
