I don't think you understand Chessack, everyone already knows there is a /bandflourish command but it was, as it sounds meant mainly for the musicians but it works for us too, the problem is in a group either the band can use it or the dancers can use it and not both.
)The two are not really connected in any way between musician and dancers. The only exception (Which is what I was using) is if you specify an instrument it goes to all musicians playing that instrument, even if you are a dancer.I also have had Tiaga's experience: dance and music band flourishes working separately. But NND's first real practice is tonight and I guess we will find out then.

6. Any chance we will be seeing any Dancer only stuff in the game? For example Dancer only clothes, fans, headgear, ribbons and other props or things that we could attach a certification system to? If so any ETA on when something like that could be looked at?
Oopsy, missed the "certification system" part.... ok, just the money thing then. What else were you thinking?
Tiaga your write and I know what your mean and how to do it.

Hate to to saying your wrong and all. But I've never had a problem with musicians and dancers both independantly using band flourishes. One time I even was doing both myself.. One flourish for the musician, a different one for the dancers.(Both without using macros and still talking to the group to coordinate routines, so I don't want to hear about how hard it is to hitone measly littleflourish every 10 seconds, I had to hit 3.
It is fairly advanced stuff tho, making things easier for people is good and bad both depending on how you look at it I suppose. Don't want to make it too easy for people who don't take it seriouslyto do performances as well as those who put a lot of time and effort into it, but I don't think this one change will do that. Not to mention unless I'm mistaken more action is used up mixing the musician and dancer flourishes then would be if it was sepperate no?

If you haven't sent it in here, this is a nit-pick but I would remove the /groupflourish request here. There already is one (/bandflourish) and it would seem like we don't know our own profession if we ask for this when it already exists.

I don't think you understand Chessack, everyone already knows there is a /bandflourish command but it was, as it sounds meant mainly for the musicians but it works for us too, the problem is in a group either the band can use it or the dancers can use it and not both. We would just like a sepperate command for the dancers so the two aren't tied together letting the Musicians and Dancers both use these commands at the same time in the same group. To avoid confusion tho I think I'll try and make that more clear to the Devs as well so they don't misunderstand.
Also as Pickles kindly pointed out, if you look at the Entertainer 10 list one of the questions was in reguards to AFK issues. The AFK issues really are entertainer wide and it was the perfect thing for Tiaga to list, since its on his list I feel we should focus more on dancer only items. I hope that makes sense to everyone. Not to mention I'd prefer to ask questions we're more likely to get a real answer to, if ya know what I mean.

Come to think of it perhaps I should of left off number 7 on the list too since Tiaga really covered that one already.. hmm. Whatdo you all think, leave it or try and swap it out for something else? Good question, just more or less same one Tiaga listed too. The rest looks good to me, I can't wait to hear the answers. :Tiaga, are you saying you can target a bandflo? If so what is the full command I use bandflo 1 and all the dancers do a flo 1 but the musicians are unaffected.
