So, how's it going on your server. On tempest it seems that a lot of people wanted to try out the new buffs, but they aren't coming back! In a way it was a lot of action and then its all dead again? Makes me wonder if our customers are finding our profession specific buffs worthwhile?

All anybody has wanted from me is the general passive combat buff. And a musician buff.


But yeah,combat buff.

On Starsider, I got requests for musician buffs but from dancers (what an irony). No request at all for dancer buffs yet (I was playing music while displaying a Master Dancer title). But I missed the first days of the new inspiration system.
Last evening, I asked the group to know if the buffs are in demand and it doesn't seem they are. I don't recall seeing people entering the cantina and asking for buffs, any (Image Design was in demand though). Passive buff is probably enough for most and others don't care at all.

My biggest repeaters are chefs. They seem to like this a lot. A few BE repeaters too. That's it. Tailors have no interest, merchants well I did buff rocket with merchant but it was more wooo look what we can do, no one has asked for ID buff either. So mostly chefs and BEs.


I also play music and musicans get a lot of repeat customers. Weaponsmiths, Armorsmiths and Shipwrights being the most common and probably in that order. But I've done Droid Engineer buffs as well. Never done and Architect buff, not sure they really need it.

I actually had people come in last night asking for an AS, WS, and SW buff. All from the same guild -- the first that had found me gave my name to the others so they could try out their buffs. The comment they made at the end was "well, this does help a bit -- guess I'll respec my alt to be a musician now".

The buffs do not help us. I've heard first hand from several crafters already that they will just use an alt from now on, and I've read even more reports of it on the forums. This buff is considered a "must-have" now, so they will just use an alt rather than having to be dependant on finding someone else.

We need real content, not these buffs.

Any kind of buffing system, or game utility for being a dancer, has always been secondary to me.


If someone wants a buff, I'm more than happy to help... otherwise, I haven't noticed much difference in my playstyle or performances.



Oddly enough, I had someone ask me for a merchant buff last night. That was about the last type of buff I would have expected to be asked for.

Just the occasional ones, and always for general. It seems only the musicians are in demand. I like the way they made musician buffs and dancer buffs different, I just think it shouldn't be so one sided.

I think I've done at least one of each type of buff now (I'm a musician as well as a dancer), and the most in-demand seem to be weaponsmiths, IDs, artisans, and entertainers. I've only done one Merchant buff, and he was just experimenting to see what the buff actually does. I haven't heard back from him to see what his opinion of it was. I have gotten some good repeat business though.

I give out maybe one buff per hour of performing. So they seem to be generating at most, mild curiosity. There is certainly no high demand for them, despite what the handful of crafters coming onto our forum screaming about being unable to get buffs claim. If they were in such demand, I'd be giving out more than one an hour.

I don't know what these people are screaming about either, there is almost always someone on and monitoring GES and/or ATK. I think they are just whinning to pad their post count.


The bulk of the requests I've seen have been for SW, a few requests forartisan, and cross-ent buffs from the Non-Masters.

I've even spent a couple of those hours in Theed and Coronet. Nobody comes in there either.

Most of the buffs I've given out have actually been for guild mates. I think a total of 5 have been to strangers.

I've not been asked for buffs at all.. Tho, I have sought out the Musician buff when ever I play. (as I am not a Master yet)
