Entertainer Archive

Entertainer xp should be able to be turned in the same way Ent Heal xp was before. I'll see what I can find out.

to be honest, I don't think thats gonna be an issue . . . since the only 4 branches that can be filled with entertainment XP are for skills that most don't want.

Survey

Healing (though healers generaly use their healing XP to fill it)

Luck (no one knows what it does and it doesn't help much)

Pursuasion (yet another you need med crafting for . . . which entertainers don't have)

I'm sure they'll completely forget, or not bother, to put Entertainer XP into the village conversion script. Just a feeling I have.

1/2 of my unlocks are these skills, lol.

They're relatively easy to do, mission-wise. I think the healing one was the biggest pain to do. The village is not a safe place during Phase 4. But, I pushed through it and even got a Bacta Tank out of it.

I've been thinking about asking if we could consider making the FS conversion rate for entertainmetn exp really poor. It would be a device to discourage entertainer grinding for FS skills. Off topic, I know, but...this post brought it to mind.

This is why I'm asking, I feel we may be like the Shipwrights who have never been able to turn in xp, but should have been able too......

I hope they disable FS conversation at all for entertainer, dance and music XP, just to get rid of the AFK bots that simply dance while they not play to convert XP.

I agree with Coreena. We're not healers anymore, so it would be a cruel joke if they put the new entertainer mod in the healing branch. If they're gonna strip us of everything, then strip us of EVERYTHING.

So you would also deny this content to entertainers who chose to be ATK. They could kill the AFK bots easy, all they'd have to do is make it impossible to have looping macros ( Remove the ability to call macros from within a macro would easily kill this). However they have not chosen this rather simple path, but instead have chosen to nerf entertainer to nothingness instead.

I don't feel bad cutting off the few ATK FS entertainers if it would accomplish a large scale cutback in AFKers.

Why wouldn't I feel bad?

-Because it would make the day to day lives of most entertainers much nicer.

-Because the noncombat route through FS to jedi is a large joke. It takes Combat skills at the front end and the back end, and as a jedi, so while it may be nice to use Entertainer skills during FS, you won't be keeping them once you unlock.

-The FS bonuses for entertainers are useless.

-The FS quests to unlock Senses branches have nothing to do with Entertainment.

If the entertainers hadn't been 99.9% left out of the process of becoming a jedi, and the last minute additions we begged for had not led to an ongoing widespread degradation of our core gameplay, then I might give a hoot about keeping FS conversion for Entertainers. As it is, throw it in the rubbish with everything else we used to have. No sense catering to a minority of a minority by keeping it whenit's existencecontributes to the hell that is an NPC cantina.
