Is there really any point in trying to stop this from going live ? It's us... when have they EVER listened to us.

If we don't try to make changes that is equal to apathy. I "know" its us and I know they don't listen to us. They don't listen to merchants, or politicians either, but I would rather go down as trying - and lose the race, then to lose the race and sit and watch it go by.

There is always the "chance" no matter how slim it may be - that our voices might be heard and someone takes action. No I am not an optimist - anyone knows me at all in game and rl knows I am a pessimist - but I love this profession and I am not ready to give up on it. I love it enough that I am going to drop DE and take up Master ID, and Musician along with Master Entertainer.

Me too, and ditto. Please, please, devs, be listening for once....

Wow! That is nuts!

I actually just got done testing out all the new dances on Test Center. I didn't notice any unusual twitching or drifting, but then again, I was not dancing in a group, so....maybe being in a group has something to do with it??

When watching yourself, you'll look normal. You have to be watching others, which is why this video was shot by someone NOT doing the dancing.

It's also probably why the developers didn't catch the problem before it went to test.

I recommend that everyone who has either watched or participated in the TC to comment on the bug thread. It's important that we get our "voices" heard so no one can say we didn't try. I know it's easy to fall into the "what difference does it make" attitude with the track record we have witnessed so far. However, the fact that the devs are doing something to try to make our traveling base dances work better is heartening. To rephrase a well known statement "the only thing necessary for apathyto triumphis forgood entertainers to do nothing".


We have an opportunity. Let's not do nothing. (With apologies toEnglish majors everywhere.)

Ahh, you're probably right (about why the devs didn't catch the problem before it went to test). I just checked the In Testing forums, the bugs thread, and several people have posted about this issue, including an excellent split-screen video showing the differences between watching yourself and someone else watching you... so I hope they will fix it (possibly today, since TC is coming down in a few min).


/keeps fingers crossed

I agree. It only makes sense that the developers would make a statement like...


"Remotely viewed dancing will no longer be interrupted with walks and stutters of the character trying to reach a new position"


And never actually watch it from a separate character. Thankfully they got rid of those walks and stutters though.


(I did manage to test this stuff with a group on TC5 and bugged it in game... It was horrific.)
