Dancer Archive

Not excatly sure how this happened but here's the synopsis. I'm visiting my lovely guildie dancer Aulah in Coronet cantina and she is dancing, grouped with a nice and equally lovely musician named Allya (I think). So, upon getting ready to leave I am getting a buff from them on the way out to finish off my TKA training. So I get my Musician buff just fine, 2 hours, +600 or so, and then I am getting my dancer buff, and after about 3-4 minutes Aulah tells me I'm done, she had to log, so I said goodbye and I made my way out. A few minutes later I realize my buff didn't take, not worrying about it I continue on, assuming that I had more than like done something to screw it up. About 20 mins later, I get reemed by a band of enraged Kimos (ouch) and I am killed. I respawn at my closest point, and what do I see? My Dancer buff. Somehow my buff didn't show up until I died. I checked the time on it, and it had just started from the 2 hours.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Sometimes depsite using the /stop command the system thinks you don't really want to stop so.. What happened isyour buffjust didn't "register" until some event indicated you really had stopped watching. I seethis frequently and often try to get people to do a few things to "force" the buff to activate. Unfortunately most of the time they aren't really listening and it's easiest to just "rebuff" them. A few tricks you can try when it looks like your buff didn't stick even though you've done everything properly:

1) do a /examine on the entertainer and then a /stopwatch or /stop listen. (hard to do if they have to log quickly but..)

2) have the entertainer stop skill animating (not easy if they are buffing others) then do a /stopwatch /stoplistencommand

There are probably other ways to "force" the system to recognize you really, really have stopped, but these are the ones I know work.

Zoning almost always works when I have something like that happen.
