It just makes me worry that aside from Lyrical2, there won't be any reason to have Master.

Can someone point out something terribly obvious I might have missed?

Well I just hope they actually added unique flourishes for all.
They could just have put all the different flos from all 4 exotics together and made them 1-8 for all 4 (which would probably count as "unique" in their book, works with all other dances that have more than one version)... well would still be way better than its now but not what I hope, I really hope for some new ones.

If they do this they should just drop it down to two Exotic Dances, there is NO point in haveing 4 identical dances

1= 1 from exotic & exotic 2

2= 2 from exotic & exotic 2

3= 1 from exotic 3

4= 3 from exotic 3

5= 1 from exotic 4

6= 2 from exotic 4

7= new flourish

8= jiggle

The new flourish is interesting, your hands start suspended to each side with a little step to the left, then drop down to the lower position of exotic2 & 3base, come up to the mid-body position of exotic2, above your head to the exotic4 base position, back to mid-body, then lower position and then to the starting position with a step to the right. It makes a gorgeous transition going from Lyrical2 flo 7to Exotic2 or 3 but leaving the flourish is a little rough. I'll need to play with it more.

As for how this change effects my own routines; I'll lose the ability to /changed and drop into Exotic4 Flo 3 from Exotic3 Flo 3..audiences always seemed to like that transtion. But with using the new flourish, I can see using the exotic bases more as flourishes than bases and incorporating a few flourishes from Lyrical2. I can see Scip & I redoing our 3 minute Exotic routine into something much longer and without monotony.

There is a part of me who wishes they had replaced the jiggle with the old exotic fall. The only time I use the Exotic dance is when roleplaying drunk and I'd love to have that fall as a call-able flourish for those times.

I think it would be good to have a new command "/fall" that do the fall animation for the dance you are doing. Make it not generate experience like a /flourish, just animate. I actually like a few of them

This would be, I imagine, a pretty simple code addition/change.

I think we should ask for this instead of the dreaded oft lamented 'jiggle'. And, yeah, I'm dissappointed we did not get what it sounded like in the notes at first glance. Goodness knows it's been asked for often enough.

I'd rather have the fall as a seperate command like /fall usable in any dance.

Unlike others I don't hate the jiggle, sure it looks sometimes a bit funny, but its not that bad. I think most of the hate for it comes from the fact that it was used as a "filler" and is actually a rhythmic flourish (#3 i think), but really its not that bad.

Oh, I'm glad they've done it, but I thought that we had received new flourishes to fill out the exotic dances. That would have caused much more joy. Instead they worked with what was live and gave us one more. So, it's a bit dissapppointing. I know I'd like the fall in a /fall commandif possible. I read what Coreena wrote and have changed my mind. May as well leave the jiggle in /flo 8.

Oh, for the record, I don'tmindthejiggle at all. It just never felt like it belonged there (because it did not) However I know that Kirah threatened me with bodily harm for bandflo'ing her into it. Oh well, like alot of things from SOE, it's a bit off from what we would like, but have no choice but to take. Still a nice change over all.

Edit: I just woke up so sentence structure > me at the moment

I don't think that integrating such into the existing code would be possible. Perhaps, should they someday recode us in such a way that flourishes and bases could be broken into parts that can be called separately. That would take us out of where we are now with the 8 flourishes interupting the base and maybe allow for other interuptibles such as emotes (with the fall acting as an emote which can only be called during a particular dance).

placing cantinas and prop certifcations as well

nope

I'm keeping my expectations reasonable. (but inside I'm doing flips)
