In Panthu's Original thread, she wrote:



  • Temporary NPCs that can serve as "Actors" or possibly even a back up "Band" or "Dance Troupe" that can be taught routines or bandflourished


Now, with that being said, WHY temporary?


While a lot of this is far reaching..and very lofty...the prospect for this...is extremely intriguing...


Imagine this...


An entertainer "star rank" system that awards you "points" which can be turned in for various perks. The entertainer rank/perk system, would be similar in theory, to the GCW. "Entertainer points" would be the substitute for faction points. I'm not sure how these "entertainer" points could...or even would be awarded, but one of the items they could be exchanged for...


...Would be a dancer/musician NPC that you control. Why make it temporary? Wouldn't it be cool to have a "partner" that could do flourishes as you did them, who could possibly be set up (or taught) his or her own effects?


CH's are allowed to have pets...Droids can already play music...GCW combatants are allowed "factional pets"....


How much could giving entertianers an "entertainer pet" possibly hurt? Imagine an entertainer pet that was:



  • Trainable in either dance or music depending on your "progression" (how far along you are)

  • An NPC that DID NOT count against the small 8 Person group limit

  • An NPC that was dressable by you (in the same manner as merchant vendors are)***

  • An NPC that was image designable by an image designer***

  • No combat rating..period. Unattackable regardless of GCW status

***Currently, there are certain races that are not "dressable" as merchant vendors. The reason is obviously, these races need specific clothing AKA ithorian. If a race cannot be dressed as a vendor, you'd have to assume it couldnt be ID'd or dressed.


Determining which "entertainer pets" you would have access to would work somewhat like "hiring". The further you progress in dancer, or musician, the futher more races you'd have access to.


Seriously, what would be wrong with adding an NPC that helped entertainers, in the sameprinciple that NPC factional troops help (well maybe not lol) are supposed to assist GCW combatants?


I would love to see something such as the above added to the game. I would say the cost to get an "entertainer pet" would be pretty steep, but the functionality would be well worth it.


Am I 100% crazy?



ADDED:

I forgot about one thing. The NPC would "gain" experience as it progresses and as he/she progresses, you could teach it various skills/dances/songs etc as it progresses. You would not beable to teach it everything, you'd have to choose, making them different.

Tiaga posted a poll about this once many moons ago, I liked the idea back then even. I think it would be fun to have my own Dancer Dress Up dolly, heh.
