Nice Idea. Slowly i get the idea to ask for removing Macros altogether.

Something needs to be done against Buffbots. Yep i know just not buffing,

when afk´s up wont work. But theres no way to easy recognize if theres

a human at the controls or not.

But they have to do something, to make Entertainers a loved Prof again.

(Except for idealists who love to do it).

Now this is a nice idea! Needs a little tweaking, but sounds very good. Does not have to be flourishes- I think a simple code would suffice.

Why does this remind me of Parapa the Rappa or Space Channel 5?

Edit: In case I wasn't clear enough, I was just making a comparison, not stating an oppinion on the subject. I personally think it is an interesting idea, with implications for other Dancer and Musician mini games.

When you are closing shop on SWG, remember that you ignored the REAL community to cater to an alpha class that assured this game would never be "balanced."

The only problem with the coded sequence is that it would take to little time. Maybe if we used the coded sequence before the standard buff . . .

That's a really great idea.

Please, Panthu, take this one to the devs.

So, /setperform would bring up a randomcode box? Maybe there could be /setperformgroup code box to buff groups?

They have this one.

When I get back tonight, I'll try to start working on a list of the suggestions the Devs have... I'll post them in the Corre forum too.

If buffs required the dancer (or musician) to play a randomly generated code made up of a random sequence of flourishes, that once played, would confer a buff, this would stop people being able to park a permanent buffing "bot" in cantinas. I'm sure people have discussed why bots are good or bad elsewhere, but after trying to play a musician and a dancer, I agree that afk buffbots (some even offering free 24/7 buffs) taking the fun and purpose out of being an entertainer.

Sothe idea i'm suggesting is that siimilar to how you have to enter a code for harvesters, you get a code made out of 8 flourishes you need to play.I'm sure there are sufficient combinations of the 8flourishesto generate enough variations so thatsomeone could not just write a macro to automate buffs. this could still work for group buffs too--the idea is that you just have to be at your keyboard to enter the correct sequence of flourishes. Also, instead of waiting some unknown number of minutes, the buff would be faster, determined only by how fast the dancer (or musician) could do the right steps/notes.
