Ok, I wont lie. I am doing Dancer, along with Musician and ID as a starting point on my path to Jedi.

And I am a guy behind the keyboard playing a female char.....it does make the game a bit more interesting.


Anyways.


I do have alot of fun doing the dancing stuff and talking to people and what-not, I am on intrepid in Bestine Cantina BTW, but I just cannot see how yall career dancers can do it. I am itching to get back to the Bounty Hunting I did with my past character. I just cannot see dancing or playing in the Cantina for the next 5 years or however long I continue to play Galaxies. I need the fighting and what not....How can yall do it? I mean, I guess it is beyond me and the 'guy' mentality.


Oh well.


And so yall know if you go in the cantina at 3am Eastern....I do AFK macros....


I am on for about 6 hours then have to go to work. so I leave it AFKing from the time I leave till morning reset. I know that p.o.s alot of you serious dancers but I dont wish to work on master dancer for two weeks, regardless.

1) Mastering an entertainer profession does not chew up all the skill points, generally leaving enough for another mastery. Thus, most 'career entertainers' have a second career as well.

2) Not everyone is cut out to be an entertainer. Some people enjoy it, others do not. It just depends on the individual. If you don't enjoy it, then by all means get through it and put it behind you and do something you do enjoy.

Well, I guess I will at least like it alot more then I will all the artisan trees, which is next. WOOHOO the great crafting grind. Well At least I can have fun with entertainer instead of it being just another mindless grind.


I will say that entertainer is alot more well, entertaining, than I thought it was when I was looking from the outside in.

I just like it. Dancing in cantinas androleplaying go hand in hand for me. If I get bored, well, I spent more than half my skill points on non-entertainer skills, so I venture out, but usually I can pass whole days in a cantina if it is populated with RPers.

My main char is all crafting (see the sig) but one day i thought i'd try a change so i created an entertainer and i have to admit im having a great time.


Entertainer and and RP do go hand-in glove as stated and if you can really get into your role then you will have a lot of fun. if like me you choose a not so frequented cantina then there will be quiet times but i've found that being at that cantina on a regular basis those few who come get to know you, and tell their friends and soon you are the centre of a mini community thats when you can RP to the fullness of your character.


ok entertainer may not be for everyone but you will really get more out of it the more you put in

I always get a kick out of this stuff. I love the reactions of those who would not normally choose to play the game that I have chosen to play. It's a completely differentworld that we live in and I hope youare able to enjoy itwhile on your way toJedi. Also, thank you for respecting us and the game enough to play the character while you are available to play it.I understand your overnight afk habit and won't hold it against you if you stay off the main dance floor and keep the text out of your macro.

Voice macros while AFK you take me for an A Hole? Even I hate those.



Good news. This afternoon when I logged on, joined up with Yven, and there was one other dancer in the group. Yven was almost MAster Dancer. She should be bye now. And the other dancer was fairly new, she knew Rhythmic II that is what dance III in ent tree? Anyways. Yven is doing her thing....so my self and this otehr dancer line up to either side and behind her, and put on the same dress. We start dancing facing foward and even to each otehr, and for about two hours I sat their and did band flourishes. I though it looked kinda nice......granted owulda been nice for some of the patrons to appreciate the work and tip us but oh well.


Even though I am grinding, I dropped the chance to be making 40 xp per hit to have fun and only make 15 per hit.



After this..I had a commando take me to Dant where we did a Sith misson so I could get a free Holo. Well he kills all the stuff for me seeing as how I currently have NO combat skills. Use the Holo and VOILA a voice tells you to master Entertainer. HAHA hell yeah. Now I have an excuse to tell my friends I cant work on marksman but must work on the entertainer trees instead. It is alot more fun than I ever would have imagined, especially playing a chick character. Watching the other guys tryin to uphold my honor and all. And of course getting more money....oh well....

I sooo wish you were on Starsider. We could use a few more open minded individuals who aren't totally dedicated to the grind. Don't get me wrong we have some great folks over there. But could always use more and I bet you are a trip to hang with. I've enjoyed your post here. Keep on having fun with it. That's the point, right?

I enjoy it! Then I am the type who can just sit around and have a good time (I did have a Chef/Shepherd/Taste IDer/ Beggar/Musician/Bowyer/Lumberjack Char in UO though.) I like "unique" characters who tend to be a bit silly and aloof. So here I am in SWG as a Master Dancer and a Master ID, because I get a lot of fun out of it.


Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy combat now and then (melee only please! ranged is to boring for me =P ), but I much rather just spend time with some quality people, whether it's in a cantina or zooming across the land.
