End Game?

I would like to see more before I get maxed out on skills.. Honestly, what do elite profs have that novice entertainers don't? More songs (which aren't songs) and new instruments, but 1/2 of them sound the same anyways.. What I would like to see are some dymanic quest starting at Level 1 in the elite professions that not only open up new flourishes (note: I said flourishes, and not songs) and new instruments.. However, to really make this appealing each instrument needs to have it's OWN sound, not just another advanced slitherhorn..

As for the new songs we get.. OMG.. has anyone ever played these things.. It's very difficult to arrange the flourishes in such a way that they actually sound OK.. I'm not sure who the music major was that helped SOE here, but I would give him a C- for a grade.. Back to the topic, sorry there.. Wouldn't it be helpful to those that pursue the elite professions in music or dance, by giving them something actually worth while.. Considering that less then 2% of the players out there are elite entertainers.. Most of the time people don't even listen to musician, unless they have to, and would rather watch a dancer.. Reason? Because musician's pretty much sound like crap given what we have to work with.. One of the rewards for a true dynamic entertainer musician would be a "SONG" that last for 1 or 2 minutes that actually sounds like a FULL song pleasing to the ears.. Second thing is to make sure that ALL insturments sound different then one another and maybe even add in a few more new ones.. More string instruments? .. More horns, that don't sound like a clarinet? .... And at the master level add flourishes that are totall unique and speciall

Too bad that one of the Master Level abilities is the ability to "customize" your songs by using NOTES and not flourishes.. And NO , legally this does NOT violate any copyright laws since anything of close representation would not be sold or played for public use or profit.. If I went to the music store and bought the song sheet of "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones.. It would be just as legal to play it in SWG as it would be at home for friends...

Thanks

I would love to seea form of Entertainer faction pet like the Troopers Imperials get. These could be purchased from, say, one of the Hutts... and Entertainer Fp aquired by doing performance missions for these Hutts and their henchmen at particular venues.

As for the pets..... perhaps things like jugglers or animals that perform tricks.......

Also, how about being able to get actual song LYRICS as a flourish.....

Hard to complete dungeons!

Get the fame points, make it take 80hours worth of maxed play to get enough to go and AUDITION for jaba!

Once you can get an audience to audition for jaba you put together a dance or a song along with a group of your buddies, have him give you all quests that that increase in difficulty..

Maybe the first guy needs x amount of healing in Y amount of time, while the next guy needs Z amount of buffing.. as you work you way up eventually allow for a constant gig with jaba and a badge that says you’ve earned respect enough to play for Jaba the hut!

Once you have a constant gig you will have to dedicate 1hour a week that you will spend working for jaba and earning an amount of creds, and eventually *if you play well enough (maybe THIS is where you do the flourishes on-demand a’lah system message) you earn the right to play for more hours a week.

If you do well enough allow there to be a plaque(sp) at jaba’s palace that anyone else can read that lists everyone that’s accomplished this!

Do something similar with nym(sp) on lok, this should provide hundreds of hours of end-game play that allows you to advance as a galaxy renown musician.

Hey, even tack on a 10% added buff bonus for completion, or some clothing that allows you to give added buffs :-)
