Thread: Entertainer Quest
i wouldnt mind having a reward that gives a schematic for an entertainer droid, that will allow you to heal BF when it is called.
In my opinion, i think it would encourage a moreactive role for entertainers in the GCW. Although I would suggest that this reward would be a rare one. Just an idea....
Reward Suggestion:
* New Dances/Songs Please, please, please give us break-dancing. I wanna do a head spin 
Th, is there any room for allowing a musician to compose his or her own songs, maybe thru use of a sound palet or something?
i think this would also make for a nice quest, and could be rewarded with a composers modual, and BF healing modual.
Ive said this before, but medics can work beyond thier base of operations (medical centers) i sure wish we (dancers and musicians)could.

Givethem two player dances - let two players join together and perform a dance! It takes two to tango you know TH.
Give them proper effects. Not a shiny disco ball that appears for 1 second and then dissapears. Give them lights, and smoke effects that last for a minute and follow their performance.
Give them music worth dancing to. The live music played by musicians is hardly dance worthy. Either put jukeboxes in the game or give musicians some more funky tunes to play!
You must listen to very crappy entertainers. I try to sound good and orginal.

Are we still getting the entertainer quest in publish 9 like we were promised or are the entertainers getting f$*%#d again?
Since there's not a Dev as far as the eye can see when it comes to anything regarding Entertainers, I'm crowning myself Lead Musician Developer for all the Galaxies to see. Tremble before my inability to communicate with your "new and exciting social profession." Feel the wrath of my unpredictable buffs! Quake and quiver at the stone cold silence of indifference to your problems and existence in general!
Your answer is....wait, I'm answering an Entertainer post? Pffft....time to hit the Jedi Forums! They're the only thing that matters. Oh, and Jump to Lightspeed.
OK, all joking aside, I about fell out of my chair when I saw we actually had a topic in here to discuss - though we've had no guidance or clarification on what the point of this post is. I asked for clarification in April - and yeah, now it's June with not one peep out of a Dev.
There's been no reply by any Dev on any of our questions in here, so rather than have you wait weeks to never see a reply, I thought I would at least reply with something. Given how much Entertainers have been ignored lately, I wouldn't expect anything new for Entertainers. Like, maybe think about 2005. Maybe.
It's sad but the truth. Don't get your hopes up. But hey, we're a fun and exciting new type of social profession in an MMORPG. Isn't that enough? Yeah, I don't think so, either.

2. Time permiting add something bigger like the hutt casino or whatever, but with the smaller additions, we really wouldn't need this so much.
3. We really need you to return our cantina's to us. While I understand some players want afk buff bots ect you need to make room for both types of players. Currently you lump to arch enemies together which does nothing but dishearten us. There are billions of suggestions out there... Take whichever is easiest for you to do and do it. Maybe just seperate the groups ie in a theater X is required which means atk and in cantina its not ect.
What we need devs is simple just time to time additions to us. We are a creative group and I for one would say that if need be lump us with politicians and rp/ events people. What else? just a little attention letting us know you have not forgoten about us and not slighting us on questions not from corespondants or not understading our questions before responding.
Don't think "oh god someday we need to work on the ents" Instead say how can i take what im working on and include as many professions as possible while improving the overall game (this apply's to all profs obviously not just us)
Thanks for all your hard work in even creating such a game for us and doing a ground breaking profession. Please now lets make it all it can be. Further Devs I hope that you read this respond to it so we can improve/ refine it and make it both useful and something you would act upon.

Way back in pre-launch days, this was a big topic. There were some really great hopes and discussions. Unfortunately, there is a gray area were reality, legality and virtuality don't mix very well. You see if it was a music creation tool that was totally open-ended, players would re-create existing music that is licensced and also demand creator's rights on things they had created in game which makes it a big legal mess.
There is a lot of support for trying to make a tool that is somewhere in between a totally open ended tool and what exists now, but that would be a much longer term development item.
