• Altered TKA special ability animations (Fan Fest)

* I don't know if this will fix the "too far away" bug as well but, considering the two have seemed related, I'm hoping for the best.

** I'm not positive what was changed with the starter quest but there were some things, typos and a script error, that I know were reported.

another thing we will either have to fork over insane amounts of credits or just dream about.

It’s kind of ironic, most entertainers I know love to decorate, yet most of the “cool” decorative quest rewards are out of our reach ….

Btw I’m not whining, just stating the obvious. I’m sure the Devs would say “…. Entertainers were not part of the scope ….”

Beside that, it looks like a pretty good patch for rest of the players.

Its why I got a combat alt. He dies, I decorate

Seriously though yes the game definitely has left any one non-combat far behind in content. A shame since there was such potential for actually breaking the mold and providing significant non-combat content. Unfortunately the devs are gamer geeks usually and can't design outside the FPS they grew up with in most cases.

I've been back to playing my combatter(MDancer/MFencer/4000 TK)a little more the last couple of weeks. So far nothing has been out of my reach. I've only been doing combat when grouped with one friend, however. But if it wasn't for him saying, "come on, come on..let's go kill something", I'd be flourishing away in a cantina. I'm just not likely togo in forsolo combat, so I can't really say that it has cramped my style.

I saw a dancer friend with TKM (CL54) I watched her beat a CL80 ranged character in a duel!!!! Our group was CL54 as I recall too!

Hang in the Deli'ah. I hope to be out there soon and getting some cool items to give away to my fellow entertainers.

Can't wait to see this someday:

Test Center Version ?.???????

Entertainer/Dancer/Musician:

• Wound healing skill mod is now correctly referred to as "InspirationEfficiency."


• Dancing/Musical Mind Enhancement skill has been replaced with something that's not an obsolete artifact of pre-CU SWG.


• Wookiees are now considered the hawtest species in the game (hey, a Wook can dream, right?).

If Esh and Scip push for that really hard, SOE might get it onto TC sometime in September/early October, pull it back again due to unexpected technical difficulties, put it back onto TC in an enhanced form in December, pull it back yet again,then release it to Live without any prior warning with Publish 32 in July 2006.

One word: Soon(tm)

Dream on. Everyone knows that the hawtest species out there are Bothans. You might one day reach 2nd place with a vat full of shampoo, a super-sized titanium hairbrush, 5 pounds of colored hairbands, and a razor applied to certain strategic places of your anatomy. Or people maybe might start to think you're giant poodles instead, I'm not sure what would happen to be honest.

Then, the day after Publish 32, we find this:

"You cannot Start Music while standing."

-WRONG POSTURE-

"You cannot Start Dance while standing."

-WRONG POSTURE-

"You cannot Start Music while sitting."

-WRONG POSTURE-

"You cannot StartDance while sitting."

-WRONG POSTURE-

Because I'm a 1337 h4xx0r I figure out that you can start dancing and playing music in BETWEEN sitting and standing, and then get this message:

"You cannot Skill Animate while Skill Animating."

"You cannot Start Dance while standing."

-WRONG POSTURE-

Three words: Not Soon(tm) enough.

Wookiees pwn Bothans. It's a scientifically proved fact. It has to do with fur matrices or a roar algorithm or something like that. Also, we give far better hugs.

This mean all we have to do to get the dev's to fix the game is to yell at them in person? Anyone got a copy of the Californa White Pages?

"You cannot Skill Animate while Skill Animating."

OK that one made me literally laugh out loud.

I'm more expecting to see something like this:

"You cannot start dancing without dancing."
"You cannot start dancing while dancing."
