All I can say is its like a frikkin dead mans party at the cantina half the time. I wanna be able to converse with my dancer or entertainers. I'm a comabt guy TKM and I wanna interact with people in the cantina. I need you guys. I never tip those damn zombies that crowd the door. I make a beeline for the back when I can the good players hang out there half the time.

Sorry, I can't resist!

It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .
(Don't run away it's only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man . . . Dead Man . . .

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away it's only me . . .

Now that I have that out of my system, you're the reason most of us live entertainers are still hanging in there, NavarAnt23. It hasn't been easy. You see thezombieswhen you come in to relax, or get healed, or find a buff. We live in it. *shudder* The horror, the horror. It's developer designed and endorsed, though. I guess we just grin and bear it. Thanks for voting with your attention and your credits, though. It means something to us, to me, and I'd gladly sacrifice all of the credits in my account for more of that attention. Cheers.

actually walk into a cantina and mention AFK dancers andyour likely to get stoned if there is liv ones in there. but so far as i can tell no matter what server you play on you wan tlive entertainers.. stay AWAY from CNet. try Theeds ...


some entertainers never go AFK some are nothing moe then holo grinders.some entertainers will work forhours on a routine.. and yes they might macro them butits to be able to talk to you while they dance.you also mightbe surprisedhow many of the live entertainers dont like the AFkers. probably hate them more then the combat guys becuase they are with the AFKed that spam for hours on end.

ROFL . . . that song was going thru my head as well. I love Oingo Boingo or is it just Boingo now? Anyway I digress. . . NavarAnt 23 you are most welcome in our Cantina anytime! Like it was previously stated, its players like you that keep us Ents here. If you are ever In Veritas, Naboo, Bria, swing by we are at the southend of the city. There is a more "popular" Cantina here called Luna but its getting to be a "mini-Theed" Cantina. Only live Ents at Bishops Sanctuary.

Thanks so much for posting this.


I know that there are plenty of combat-oriented players who do enjoy coming into cantinas after hunting or battle, and taking a little break with some R&R, pleasant company and conversation before returning to the intensity of the battlefield. My concern is that these players, if they don't speak up here on the forums as you did, just might lose out on your opportunities to do so.


The impression all too often from the forum boards is that the combat players hate the "social" and/or roleplaying dancers, and only want to get back out as quickly as possible to kill kill kill. Certainly, some do.This is disheartening to those entertainers who want to provide that personal touch in the cantinas, and many of us have withdrawn or left the game entirely as a result. I fear that the devs may also get the impression that *none* of the combat players want that social atmosphere in the cantinas, and may take steps with the way the system works that ends up putting the final nail in the coffin. It seems to me that we are in delicate times in this experiment with the social professions in an MMORPG, and those who appreciate the social aspects may not be heard in time.


It's true that generally people only speak up when they're dissatisfied. Customer service people know this all too well. Rarely do people voice up when they're completely happy. I'm concerned that if those who do enjoy the social aspects of the cantinas leave their voices out now, that all may soon be lost.

If you're on Starsider, feel free to drop by and chat on Dath! I don't dance in Cnet or in Theed and that's one of the reasons why!

i like to be an enertainer but i cant staned hours on end watching my toon dance it just gets old after so long

now i to dislike the afkers that spam all night long but to say you hate now is that what you all are about?

and just to remove thim out of a group becouse they are afk is stuped now if they stoped or whent LD thats one thing but just becouse he/she is afk. that purson stile brings in xp to the group

i see a lot of you dislike holo grinders what for? they are not bad ppl or a plege that will kill the game. i have good friends that are doing the grined and to be honest any one that can do 32 and go into jedi as it is a hero of SWG.

now nothing agianst those that master what they enjoy and do that but when some one comes out and flames a grinder thats not right.

I don't dislike hologrinders. The devs set the system so why would I dislike the people for just following the system? AFKers really don't bother me. I do however hear complaints from non-entertainers who enjoy the social side of our entertainer profs. I was tipped 10k one night just because I was atk. He said it was nice for a change. I also have a friend who says he won't tip afkers. Incidentally, he was hologrinding himself and mastered entertainer while atk. Unfortunately, I couldn't talk him into doing dancer.


I'm just letting the original poster know that I am at the keyboard if he's on Starsider and would like to chat. That doesn't mean that I'm against hologrinders.


I have never flamed a grinder andI never will. Oh and if things get slow for me, well....that's why i have combat skills.
