Entertainer Archive

What Echinacea says about dancing non-stop makes sense, as I have tried a few dancing missions and seemed that I danced forever, without completing the mission. I remember for sure my action bar did not last for ten minutes.

I am hoping they improve these missions as I can see where it would be fun to do these with an entertainer group.

Yes you have to dance nonstop, and I think rather 10 then 5 minutes (not sure about the excatly time).

It is absolutly stupid. I had to dance with basic 2 to finish the quest ( with max action stats). Not worth doing entertainer missions. They make no sense at all.

Yes, it is within the cantina or hotel or wherever the waypoint guides you. You must dance non-stop for 10 minutes. (I timed one one evening) Flourishes are not nescessary. only the time spent. Be careful about joining bands, you'll wind up splitting 200 bucks with 20 people which rather stinks.

Do not pause to heal or anything, thus don't flourish or you run your action bar way down. I usually just go somewhere in a corner, set my charcter down with two missions stacked to make more money and just set him on a dance or music song and go do my dishes.

Every time I've done a dancing gig, it's been for five minutes.... however, if you get two missions to the same location, you have to dance for TEN minutes continuously in order to get both missions complete. You can't dance for five, finish one, then dance for five more to finish the second. Which is silly, IMO. I did flourish during the ten minutes, but not all the time, and I ended up very very low on Action.

And of course the pay is ludicrously low.

Agreed, the pay could be a little bit higher. Dancer's don't make much money. Hmm.. 5 minutes for one? Okay, that explains why it's always been ten minutes for me. I have always taken two. It's really tough to hold out in the action bar for 10 minutes. This is why I don't flourish. Five minutes I could swing with flourishs and all. Thanks for the heads up.

Anyone else having issues trying the entertainer missions? I've attempted a few, but they only dump me off in a location and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I've danced at the waypoints, I've played at the waypoints, gone looking around for npcs around the waypoints to entertain and nothing. As a novice entertainer, I'd like to do these missions as it's a way to make easy credits and pick up some entertainer xp if they work. Is there something I'm missing or are they just broken?

You should have search in the forum before posting... There is a least 4 posts about them.

You have to go INSIDE the building where the waypoint is and keep playing until you finish the mission. It takes me about 15 min on Nalargon/Virtuoso. I don't know if it's faster or not with other instruments/songs since I boycott them.

I had nothing to do today while my harvesters were sucking stuff out of the ground, so I did some experimentation. No matter what instrument/song/flourish combination I did, it always took 10 minutes (give or take a tick). I even did StarWars1 on a mando, no flourishes at all (no one came in), gained no experience, and it still completed in ten minutes.

These were all done with the Difficulty 0 missions: payouts 150-200, gig locationabout 120m from terminal.

Ok I dont know if its just me missing the point of these missions or what but maybe someone can help. A week or so ago I deicided Im tired of the same old destroy or faction missions and wanted to try something else. I went up to the Entertainer mission terminal and selected Dancer.....and took two missions (BTW I think they need to give us more than two missions for anything. Especially those of us that have to go more than 1k out into the wilds but that is another thread altogether hehe) I go to the in city waypoint and there is no one there.....I at least expected an audience of some sort.....I figure ok this is going to look gay but I started dancing......after several pcs ran by I began to feel a bit out of place and moronic dancing in front of the hotel I stopped and aborted both missions with no reward even for the one I was doing. Just how long do I have to dance to get the mission reward for them? I am apperntly missing something, doesnt surprise me, or they are still bugged. Anyone help? Thanks

I still don't know how to do these either, but I think you have to go inside the building to do the mission.

Thanks. I did try that also even looked for the person mentioned in the Mission details to see if I maybe needed to talk to them or something but couldn't find them. Tried dancing on the stage as well for several minutes but nothing happened. Oh well I guess Im stuck doing regular and faction missions. :-) Thanks again.

You have to dance for about 10 minutes without stopping, and I think without /changedance-ing. So don't flourish much

Entertainer missions are more worthless than worthless, BTW, so don't even bother. They also seemed to be bugged so that sometimes they don't ever complete
