I say NO!! A big fat NO!


To even make this a priority is just rediculous with all the other HUGE issues in the game. To make 2 minutes mean absolutely nothing, PLUS add 15 seconds on the /startdance is overload.


I've seen so many more important posts on things that need fixing in this game and yet, they haven't been addressed. Yet a few people complain about a speed buff which might actually give the entertainers a chance to make some decent money and that gets attention?


I agree that it's not pretty to look at or see the spam spewing out of it. But.. I do think people like to get back to thier fun in the game. And.. if they choose to say and have fun in the cantina then that's a choice they can make. If you are a great entertainer and fun to talk to then most would chose to stay and hang out with you regardless! I do know that most people i've seen on Kauri use the cantina as a place to take a break. Meaning... they go afk there also while watching and healing.


Roleplay is great, but to add both these "fixes" is just too much!!

Have you ever needed to go to multiple venders and right click each one to get a waypoint, why can we simply right click on the Armor Vender folder for example and create waypoints for all the venders if we so choose to?


Also with TKM and power boost, I was out making money and concently redoing PB, what if you could PB once and it lasted till you were incapped or died, but wouldnt be able to PB for an hour after death or incap?


My other question is why cant you frag waypoints in a specific order that you want them in, Yes I know you can just re-name them with a 1_................ and sort them that way. Buut I dont want to rename them all to put one waypoint on top.


Oh and Im sure yall are aware but pistol melee defence 2 still doesnt work... I want to pistol whip some people =) .


And finally say you are drinking brandy or other various foods and drinks and you get too many from the crate is there a reason you cant put them back in? I mean is it vacuum sealed or something.

"Also doc buffs require resources while entertainer buffs are basically free" - to say this you've obviously never been a dancer or musician. Any non-exploiting dancer uses resources (such as food, doc buffs and a HELL of a lot of time to work out routines and then buff ungreatful patrons).


Please Devs, we love entertaining, but the cute little animations can only go so far - we need purpose! And 10mins for just one primary or two secondary stats is not reasonable. The 30-sec buff WAS and exploit (and an annoying spamming one at that) BUT it demonstrated the demand for a fast buff for entertainers. Our buffs aren't as big and don't last as long as doc buffs and only buff one stat, so it goes to figure that we should'nt be buffing for 5times as long for much less or a service. Also docs aren't under threat from being considered obselete by food/drink, entertainers are! So please un-nerf us. We could get rid of the exploit just as easy as this by respondign to the demand for a legitimate fast buff option.


We love entertaining, please don't take this away from us.

oh and i have to ask a couple things about the exploit fix...


1. there are very few posts on the entertainment forums asking for it to be fixed, but many other requests have been made regarding these profs which have again been ignored


2. I guess my main point is I figured the main problem with the 30sec buff is the spamming yes? Is that what people dislike? So why then have droids been introduced for merchants that will auto-spam everyone that walks past them with no ability to be /addignore ?? So it's ok for merchants and droids to spams endlessly while afked and not even playing, but no ok for an entertainer in a camp in the wilderness to spam for 30secs??? I'm a little disappointed with this decision devs. You are brillient programmers, but I think you should've consulted the entertainer forums BEFORE implementing this.
