Dancer Archive

Well, first of all, welcome back. Yes it is a very different game these days.

Glad you found something to excite you, a lot of ents are going the quadruple mastery route. Everyone gets that respec thing, even non-combatants, just click never and make it go away. There is a lot of useful info on Inspiration Buffs in the stickied threads in this and the Musician forums, so I won't go into those.

Accarragm, yeah, it is pretty useless now, but there are new chef foods that you might wanna try. I haven't tried them, only heard about em, so I can't right off tell you what they are. As for money spent on tapes and such, its a game-wdie dilemma and, unfortunately, not much can be done about it. Just be glad it was game money and not real money and remember that you are not alone in the cash spent masses.

As for weapons for balance, well, they took out falling, you're golden!

As for weapons for aesthetics, this is a known problem many of us have taken beef with. Since we can't use em, we can't equip em. Have faith in and support the entertainer, musician, and dancer correspodents, they are working on this, but they are also working on other stuff for us at the same time.

You may want to consider moving into a player city for your safety as far as your house is concerned. If you don't want to, that's cool, I understand. Just know that unless its gray on the con, which most stuff is not at our levels, if it is a red dot, you must avoid it. Avoidance is the name of the game right now, that or a really fast swoop to zoom right past.

Don't get down, things are being fixed and changed daily. Enjoy entertaining for the sake of entertaining, enjoy being with fellow ents, and remember why you came to SWG in the first place: to have fun. Just keep a level and clear head and watch out for the red dots and you should be ok.

Welcome back!

I'd also recommend against hitting anything that doesn't hit you first. If you *do* want to try the combat end of things, find a nice set of stuff that's lower level than you and practice on them. Err on the side of caution and stick close to the major cities while you're relearning the system. Try to find stuff that comes one at a time, because you can still die if you're swarmed.

The major cantinas have become much nicer since the CU. The spammy buffbots and most of the idiots with the 'tipme/healme' macros are gone. We don't need buffs or heals to dance forever. Our mind buff has been replaced with a 10% Inspiration buff. This buff is passive, so there's no commands involved from our end. There has been talk of adding better buffs for masters and people who can interact with their customers (read: atk performers), but that's coming later.

Entertainer mission terminals are paying 1000 - 1200 credits per mission, so it's a *little* better to use them now.

Although the mind enhancement skill tapes are useless now, it's been said that an active buff of some sort is something the devs are looking into (yeah I know how that sounds). But those skill tapes will be worth something then. It's just a matter of being able to stick it out.

Wow! Thanks for all the useful info! I appreciate it.

As for the CU, I know it's frustrating, but I've been playing EQ for 5 years. SOE did something like this once, and then about a year later it was all fixed.

I've read through a lot of stuff about the buffing... Good thing I have a lot of BE clothes that give +25 to music/dance wound healing =D
