Dancer Archive

Hi y'all

I just wanted to know if it is poor form to sing a song while dancing. One one hand, it spams the spatial screen which is quite annoying. On the otherhand, it's pretty fun singing songs with certain dances. For example, I sing Safety Dance doing lyrical. I don't spam it over and over and I have several songs and dances that I do. My compilation on songs are increasing with each passing day. I don't spam the songs back to back, but I do sing a song once or so every hour. WHat's your opinion on macroed songs with dance moves?

i would say it's ok if you're atk, and you only use it once in a while

i have spent a lot of time getting song macros just perfect. i on occasion will use them. but i get annoyed if they're done really badly without any pasues and if they just keep going. just hit the button, let it run. don't do it again.

Last time I sang a song I got punched in the face. But then again it was Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice while I danced to Poplock2. Heh I guess I need to adjust the moves to fit the song. But I'm having fun with it none the less

Ha!

I still think a singing prof would be cool... either way, text or "blah blah blah" (not real singing, you know, made up game language)... it could be really flashy, I hope they consider adding it with the new profs. I do so love flashy. *sigh*

WEll first of all, i dont like macros that much, but if your at the keyboard macroing, then go ahead and sing a song once in a while, just dont go afk and leave a macro that involves singing

Ok, the necro posting is out of control, but... omg ha! I bet that was a scream!

(I like the parodies best too, they fit in well enough not to ruin immersion, but you still know the tune.)

I saw a macro'd song performance yesterday. Overall it was nice, due to the novelty factor, unfortuantly with custom words, I had no idea what the tune-line was supposed to be, even with a band playing in the background. It broke immersion since it came out as somebody reading a report to me, with music in background.

If I'd recognized the lyrics/tune, I could have put it to the music, and imagined it being sung.

The other issue, was it semaed like each line had a /pause 4 after it, no matter how long or short the preceeding section was. Now that I think of it, it felt like reading something on 300 baud modem.


Damm, reading this is comes out sounding really harsh, I hope the performer doesn't see this, I did love it, just the technical limitations where an issue.

in a word, its bad. It might be 'entertaining' for you or even the other entertainers your grouped with, as long as it isnt over done, but for the majority of the people that just come to a cantina because the must to heal up their mind and fatigue before 5they head out to grind some more combat xp its just another anoyance. Just more spam to make their conversations harder to stay on top of, relegating them to /tells or group chat and adding to lag.
