Thread: the new dance on TC

Drifting while doing the lyical and formal dances can actually be fixed quite easily. You simply need to make sure you start all your flourishes at the same place. You see, the flourishes always take you back to where you were when you started them it's only the base dance that makes you drift.
It's really not very hard when you get the hang of it. If you need to see a pro do it come over to Kettemoor sometime and watch Tiaga.
Tiaga likes these dances because he likes the style, so he uses them often and does just that. He hates this bug worse than anyone else I know though and spent a massive amount of time explaining what was happening to me many months ago. He has bugged the Devs about this more than Raven or I ever have I think.

Well, I realized that it was not right to judge the dance before I even tried it (although watching it is somewhat painful). So I am going for the quest on TC. I don't have master dancer there, but who knows . . .
Nope, but I'm holding Warryyr's $15 monthly subscription fee close by until I hear further on this.
Seriously, if we do their quests, we deserve our new content.
It's also completely stupid that a Novice Musician or Dancer can complete the quests, yet their xp is capped at 125k. So they won't even be rewarded. Even more inexcusable.
I'm not paying forthis game to be disadvantaged compared to other professions pursuing Jedi. If I'm an Entertainer, I deserve to get new content to continue to be entertaining. There's no reason for the xp requirement. If it's not removed, well, not sure how I'll proceed or what action I'll take.

I have not yet asked about this since I just found out about the XP Req myself, but I had the same thought when I saw it. Unfortunately, I don't think you would like the answer that I would get if I did ask and I'm not even sure that I should ask about it given the answers we have been given in the Corr Forum on FS/Jedi path as Ents.
We have been told to "respec" our chars for the Village... Entertainers have been excluded on purpose and you are only meant to go through the Village as an Artisan, Medic, or Combatant. It's not even about us being non-Combat at this point, it's about us not being the right kind of non-Combat to be included. We have to "respec" to Medic or Artisan for a non-Combat FS Path and Village Content.
That is completely mind boggling for myself as well considering that we were told over and over again that this content would include everyone. Once again, "everyone" doesn't seem to mean Ents. 
The snubbing over the Village Content still has me feeling very frustrated. I appreciate that the Devs feel like we are a special and unique group of Professions and Playstyles in the Ent Community, I'm just ready to see it starting to work in our favor. Up until this point, it seems to only be alienating and excluding us from fun parts of the game with out offering us any unique attention or rewards in return.
The rare bones we are thrown in the way of these Ent Quests or Ent Droids are just very hard to appreciate considering that they have little to do with our actual requests and feedback in their finished forms. Sort of like the whole ID Stat Migration Mess, uhg, what a twisting of an ID request that was.
Anyway, yeah, go let them know about any and all of your concerns dealing with these Quests in the Feedback thread linked to above. Do not hold back, please mention all of your concerns, do be polite though.

My first thought when discussing this with others last week was that it was due to all of our xp gaining mechanics being AFKable, ie: they didn't want players being able to AFK their way to Jedi. This would be a valid argument except that as the situation stands, players can AFK their way through an awful lot of FS branches using xp earned in the entertainer professions. The only other rationalizations I can find for this is that the devs would preferwe just all left the game or theyare more than slightly addled.
Now with another broken dance, the xp requirement to learn it and all the additional bs we've been having to put up with, I'm starting to get the impression that there is something really weird going on here.

Well it wouldn't if the dance wasn't broken... and all the dances we already have weren't broken, incomplete or simply ugly knitted together in the five minutes before lunch break.
I think we pretty much all feel we'd be willing to give up a whole lot more for something that actually worked!

Are these 400k XP so much to ask for?

And it apparently is a lot to those who want to use their XP for FS. It isnt' right to force entertainers to regain XP that no other proffession has to give up for a reward.
