Ok so now they have to watch you 2 mins, I am doing 2 1/2 mins because HALF of the time the buffs dont work now because the system didnt catch your 2 mins prior now.. So now the 8 min buff has become 10 1/2 mins which is total bs.. I say we cut all buffs down to 2 mins period! Please vote here if you like this idea...

I agree.

Although SOE is so obsessed with making things take so long now you know it wont happen. If we dont spend half our game time trying to get somewhere or get something done. G** forbid we should have some time savers in the game we cant have that....::sarcastic::

I still disagree, but that's because I always buffed 10 minutes anyway to be safe, and no one has ever complained to me before. I only do 10 and 5 minutes, so 2 minutes doesn't seem to be hurting anything. My typical 10 minute buff gave my guild leader the same 2 hour buff he always gets from me. So I can't complain. It's how it's always been.

Perhaps I'll try my 5 on him, see if it makes a difference, but I doubt that it will. I figure it'll be just the same as it always has been.

well TY SOE !!! Now you have made it official, you want us to be combat oreinted so you killed our speed buffs, I was able to make a very good and decent living, had a very large customer base, now I will be replaced with Brandy. My customers were used to getting all 3 sets of mind stats in around 1 minute from me. Now they have to wait .. and wait ...and wait... the new system is sooooo buggy. 5 Customers last night, even after buffing them 3 minutes only got 1 hour ... same macro .. same watch time ... same exquisit leoatard with added skill tapes ... GGGRRRRRRRRR

TY for totally prefering the newly updated Chef profession over dedicated entertainers. I also do the 10 min buff <for group> ... but this is soooo lame ... I cannot get the quantity of ppl tended to by anymeans now.

WELL GIRLS AND GUYS .. the doc's did it with the last publish ... time to raise prices I guess !?!?!

I used to charge 10k for a full set ... now Imaa not sure ... have to sit down and do some math .. a case of Brandy sells for what ?? last how long ???

I guess SOE wants everyone going around killing things instead of providing a good service to ppl. I WILL NOT GIVE UP Dancer/Musician .. it took toooooo long to Master both of these ...

Oh Lord help me keep my mind on ^^ OH LOOK A BIRD !! ^^ one thing at a time ...

Odd, I made some dancing buffs since the patch, and I still use my 4 mns macro. 107% buff as usual(tapes and leotard),2 hours.

But yes, something isn't right in Dance-Dance Land, thanks to the devs.....

Dancers are so screwed by SOE /sigh. The hologrinding has made it an impotent profession and now they have messed with out buffs. Why are doctors allowed to do instant buffs and make a mint while we have to go ten minutes with an extremely impatient customer?

Ive buffed for 10 minutes with leotard and only gotten 1 hour and some minutes. If they dont want the classes in the game they need to just get rid of them instead of making things the way they are. Instead of giving us a choice of what we want to be the next thing you know there will be only one class to play the class they choose for us.

Ok well because your not doesnt mean the rest of us ARENT. How would you like it if you stood waiting for the shuttle and all of a sudden it was time to land and the Ticket taker restarted his timer and no shuttle. Pretty much the same problem is happening with these buffs. They are now wasting our time with MORE TIME and a good amount of the time it ISNT WORKING!

No. Two minutes is not acceptable. I want the ability to give an instant buff nothing else is worth fighting for. Time sinks are not accpetable in a game.

I would love to see a quicker buff.

As for your buffs not taking, there's another thread about this because there appears to be a bug when a musician and a dancer try to give a buff at the same time. If you're trying to apply your dancer buff while a musician is also buffing your customer, it appears not to take. They have to be done seperately. Panthu is trying to get clarification to see if this is a bug or as intended. We're all hoping it's a bug of course. But, until then, make sure your client isn't trying to get a musician buff at the same time. It's a very annoying bug but that could be your problem.

Pfft, clearly, you haven't been around when we had to do 15-minute dances every half hour. That was harsh.

Then they improved the buffs, but they goofed and didn't foresee the 30-second buff. So they fixed that. If you like, they can fix it back to 15-minute dances every half hour. You got spoiled by the oversight and want it back. That's understandable.

But no petition will solve this. Has previous petitions worked? *reads Creature Handler* The answer is: Very rarely.

Things are fixed when they have a truly detrimental effect on the game. Like being stuck in a house. Or when they rolled back all CH xp by a day because of an exploit that gave people enough xp to master the profession in only a day. This 2-minute buff is not a detriment.

Although the buffs not working all the time is a major factor; you're right about that. A simple status bar would help us out so much.

Love Star Wars, but the few role-players I could find on the servers were outnumbered by powergamers who wanted only l337 l00t and mad skillz. I can't justify paying $15 a month to play a game by myself.
Still cares enough to interject an opinion, though.

The thing was an exploit to begin with. It was unintended. Ther are fixing it. Like RavenMist said in a different post, and how I always understood it, the 2 minutes is a MINIMUM. Not an addition. The 10 minute buff does not become 12. The 5 does not become 7. It's 2.

Someone mis-read the posts. Someone jumped to conclusions without testing. And everyone else jumped on the band wagon. 2 minutes is not too much to ask. It IS better than it used to be. (Exploits don't count as 'better' If people are obsessed with the ability to "cheat the system" then they need ot go play Diablo 2. Or Fallout 2... That's what I do when I absolutely HAVE to see my character punch a rat and see it explode into little bits.)
