Entertainer Archive

What Jedis??? There is one Jedi - one. Not 3, not 5, not 10, not 25, not 100. There's one. He is not fighting anyone. He is sitting on Dagobah making stew, going a bit bonkers and giggling a lot.

You aren't listening. I'm admitting they're taking liberties with the amount of jedi's - will you keep up ? However, the jedi's which ARE in the galaxy ARE doing what A JEDI AT THIS TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTED TO DO - IE FIGHT FOR THEIR SURVIVAL, IF GEORGE LUCAS CAME ALONG RIGHT NOW AND I SAID, "HEY GEORGE, IF HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING THERE WERE MANY JEDI ALIVE DURING THE TIME BETWEEN EPISODE 4 AND SIX, WHAT WOULD THEY BE DOING" AND GEORGE WOULD SAY "WHY, DEAR BOY, THEY WOULD BE FIGHTING FOR THEIR EXISTENCE, THEY WOULD BE HUNTED BY BOUNTY HUNTERS AND THE EMPIRE ALIKE".

In a 'loosely connected way"??? They are either force sensitive or they're not. And as someone else rightly pointed out the force affects every aspect of their lives, not just their fighting abilities. I'm sensing a pronounced prejudice in the way you talk about the non-combat professions. Your attitude is biased. It's clear to any impartial reader that you just don't think much of entertainers and can't see why anyone would want to play that sort of character. You've made this quite clear. The reason you're so vociferous about this is surely because you have a problem with the entertainer professions. After all, what harm would it do you if Jedi entertainers got a few basic force powers?

Yes, I know they're either force sensitive or they're not. I've already said this. I've already acknowledged that yes - it effects every aspect of their life, and that a jedi isn't about fight, BUT AT THIS TIME IN THE STAR WARS TIME LINE PEOPLE WHO ARE FORCE SENSITIVE HIDE IT SO THEY DON'T GET CARRYED OFF BY STORM TROOPERS, HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY THIS BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND. I'm not in any way "biased" against non fighting professions, I'm just trying to point out what is clearly obvious, and that is that if you're force sensitive during this period of Star Wars you hide it or use it to fight with, what a force sensitive person in this era would NOT do is flaunt it around in a cantina.

I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that you could possibly be an entertainer, with your contemptuous attitude towards their existence in the game. If you have spent time as an entertainer it must have all been AFK hologrinding, because you clearly haven't the faintest idea of what you're talking about.

I don't "hologrind", thank you, and you would be right if you were to assume that my main character isn't an entertainer, because it isn't, I play an entertainer as my secondary character on another server, thank you, and from where I'm standing I have shown no contempt for the profession at all during what I have said here so shall we evaluate exactly what I have said? yes, lets.
1. Force sensitive entertainers would be dragged out and shot during this era if they were discovered by the empire.
2. We're getting our love soon, so why lag everyone up with a petty small minded protest?

If you think force sensitive options are ridiculous, why don't you complain on forums related to professions which ARE getting them. I think your problem is actually with entertainers. Clearly you cannot understand their role, and you are incapable of seeing past your own prejudices about what that role should be.

"Force Sensitive options" aren't ridiculous per se - but it would be ridiculous to allow a profession such as entertainer to gain this power and flaunt it around a cantina, I can't make myself much clearer than this. What should an entertainer be? well they should be exactly what the name suggests, an entertainer, I find it very entertaining strutting myself in a Cantina and chatting to people, SWG is the first MMO to introduce this sort of profession, and I think it was a fantastic move, but from other players perspectives entertainers server the role of removing mind wounds, BF and getting buffs - this isn't a profession which is going to win wars, and so I feel sorry for the devs when entertainers ask them "What role will Entertainers fill in the GCW rewrite" and they have to respond with "uhhmmm, we'll see" because they know if they say nothing (which, for a passive non combat role which focusing on socializing and filling a heal/buff role) is perfectly acceptable, but if they DID say nothing someone like you would come along and start stomping your feet and starting another protest over it all. As for the problems facing the entertainer profession - bugs such as the wait on delivering a buff to someone, AFK dancers, the inabillity for someone to get both a musician and a dancer buff at the same time which I'm all aware of - what do you think moaning is going to do? transform itself in to binary and crawl in to the developers computer and fix the problem automatically? face it - there are other, more pressing things to attend to to keep the majority of the community happy, such as the combat balance and jedi rewrite.

Perhaps you and I are expecting different things from what an entertainer would be so before I respond to the personal attacks you made towards me maybe you would like to "enlighten" me on just what you think Entertainers should be?. From where I'm standing, we entertainers should be a social profession (which we are), who play a medical role (which we do), who give buffs (which we do), and who are fun to play as (which we are). Yes, we have bugs which effect us, so does every profession, the devs aren't blind to it and chances are if it hasn't been fixed that means it's a big job and then don't have the resources available to tackle it just yet.

Could someone take over beating some sense into this guy. I have no patience left for this kind of nonsense

You are an arrogant, arrogant person. What sense do I need to have beaten in to me? I know there are problems with the profession, I know Jedi's aren't fighting machines, but I also know that during this period in SW history, Force Sensitive people would either hide it or fight due to the bounty issued on force sensitive people. Force sensitivity options won't fix what IS wrong with the profession, for that we'll have to wait until the devs have the resources to do so, but we aren't being ignored, so sit down and drink your juice -or come back at me with something which I can discuss with you as is custom on a forum such as this without you resorting to your petty accusations and "holier than thou" attitude.
