I started with SWG on the third day it went live and left in November of last year. My main was a combo scout/medic/entertainer. Now that I'm coming back I'm curious if there have been any significant changes in the way entertainer works, or the entertainers role in SWG.
When i was in a small town, like Wayfar I would alternate between healing people in the med center and heading over to the cantina to heal mind wounds and BF. Then i could scout to get more raw medic supplies.
thanks for any info

Yes there is significant changes... but their bad... The good is that some of the stuff that hasn't changed is that when you can find a group of LIVE players it's a ton of fun. Cantina Crawls are great(check the dancer forums) other wise honestly... a lot of us can't really see how things could get any worse for us.

You won't find many people in med centers looking for healing anymore. They've given docs droids which allow them to heal wounds anywhere. That's right, they can now perform surgery out in the streets, surrounded by offal and dirt. Thus, you'll find people shouting around the starports, looking for somebody to heal them (nobody seems to actually want to look for anything anymore).
We Entertainers, are still bound to cantinas, PA halls, and private residences to heal. Which is fine with me, except for the fact that we have limited areas to go to, when the buffbots/LAMErs come in.
However, on the plus side, we also have new droids which (if at least novice Dancer/Musician) allow spectacular visual effects and can play along with the band as another band member. Also, most servers now have a live Entertainer chat channel, where we can chat, find out where the latest party is, and also helps non-Ents find us when they need healing/buffs.
There has also been talk of removing the recursive macro (not macros all together, but having one macro call itself or another endlessly) which would greatly help with not only AFK entertainers, but also many other AFK issues with otherprofessions.
There is a new quest that many of us have been testing for the past few months, which I believe is finally ready to go live. This quest would finally give us a new song and dance (at least for novice Dancer and Musician), and from what I've heard, the song sounds GREAT!
Welcome back! And if you need anything (other than a buffbot macro that is, 
), many of us are happy to help out.

LOL Good point. I don't like droids... but now I have a really good RP reason to hate them.

The good:
Effects and Playback droids.
The bad:
AFK has taken over to such an extent that most Cantinas are miserable, spam filled places to be, and it's nearly impossible for most entertainers to make a living because of buffbots.

1.) We got spiffy new droids which can come in handy for us with lighting effects and recorded instruments...
2.) Buffbots and AFKers are still in quite large numbers.
YOU guess which one is good and which is bad.
