Im a Master Dancer, Female Zabrak. Over the last two weeks I have either been very unlucky or have noticed that I am falling much more often than before. I counted 86 times in the last five days (approx 11 hours of dancing). 86 times for a Master Dancer! I wont even wear the title anymore its too embarassing hehe. I started counting when it got comical and I fell 5 times in 20 minutes.


I don't mind 'tripping' every once in awhile but it is getting out of hand. I hope they change this a bit. I realize Im the less graceful 'zabrak' race but still...Master Dancer falling 5 times in 20 minutes.


The only times I seem to fall are on the exotic dances hulas2-4. I dont fall on Lyrical 2 though it seems more complicated and is in the Master Block. I have taken to doing lyrical2 because of this even though it is choppier and needs more room. At least I wont fall on my customers like a drunk.


I hope this is addresses soon. Once in awhile is okay but the frequency is out of hand now. I will keep counting


Thanks

The 'critical failure' animation for the lyrical dance isn't as obvious because you don't actually fall down. You start doing a step and then seemingly forget what you're doing, scratch your head, and kind of shuffle back to the general vicinity of the 'start point' of the dance. So, you're probably 'falling' in lyrical but it's just not as obvious. Some consolation! They could have at least made the flourishes for lyrical all the same duration so the random screw ups wouldn't completely ruin the macro I've found necessary to run the dance without letting the audience see the buggy visual of the basic step.


I think falling just needs to be removed, period, especially for masters. Musicians don't have a similar critical failure. (Even if they do, it's not even on the same planet in the level of 'obvious' because I've yet to hear musicians play a note wrong)
