Thread: Is it me or are Entertainment missions a joke?

How do you know that it's counting you?
If you get the reward in 10 minutes. Of constant dancing/playing. No stopping at all allowed.
Yeah, it's a joke, and the punchline falls flat.
Find a entertainer mission terminal near the cantina you are performing in (Like 50m away)
Get two missions for that cantina, may take a few pages of looking.
Go back to cantina and continue dancing and walla, you get the money doing what you were already doing. If grouped it usualy comes out to like 20 cr per person in group. Get others in cantina to do the same and it adds up to a little bit after a while. hehe
Yea, still pretty worthless.
On the missions, they give you a waypoint to a particular spot. You need to go inside the building the waypoint is at and Dance or Play, whichever the mission was for. Flourish as much as you can, but watch your stam (green) bar.
The missions are a wonderful idea, but they do not scale in pay as you advance up the ranks, so many people do not do them at all. But if you are flat broke, it costs nothing to get a mission and it takes, generally, about 10 minutes to complete a mission.
As another poster above said, you can refesh the missions until you get 2 missions close to you, or even for the same place. Just go play and you will be a few hundred creds richer.

We have Entertainer mission terminals in our Player City, just outside the cantina. But they send you to one of the other cities...............so now you have 2KM - 10KM to go PLUS the whole joke falling flat problem.
*sigh*

The mission terminal outside my cantina will give missions to that cantina. You just have to refresh it enough.
I still remember how precious it was the first time I saw someone walk in toting a slitherhorn because someone in Keren hired them to go play there.
Entertainer missions need some love, no question about it. This item has been on Musicians' "top five" list since the moment the entertainer terminals appeared.
FWIW, the devs do seem interested in improving them, but not simply by increasing payouts; they want the missions somehow to reward better "performances," to be more interactive, to be more fun, etc. But dang it, we haven't seen any changes yet. 
wow, glad I'm not the only one...
It was much more profitable for me b4 I had some xtra skills to just take long delivery missions for some 900cr since the shuttles were so cheap... usually I lucked out and both deliveries were in the same arrival city. Just kept track of distance and direction and made tons more as starter missions than those listed in the ent. mission terminals...
