Entertainer Archive

Just in case there's anyone missing it in SWG Discussion, there's a big thread started over there this afternoon about Holocron asking for suggestions for ways that entertainers can make more money. Some of the ideas have been bounced around before (cover charges, targeting healing after tips, crafting consumable recordings), so if you've got any ideas, go ahead and post them.

Whoops, forgot the url (since that's such an active forum):

I'm not an entertainer but here's my idea. I would like to get some feedback here. This is posted on that thread at Page 12, just wanted to get some feedback here from the right people.

Add a maintenance terminal to each cantina. An entertainer can then register at the terminal and see a list of other registered entertainers at the cantina. An entertainer can only be registered at one cantina at a time. Registration is free. Cantina's will then have a cover charge based on the amount of registered entertainers inside the cantina at the time.

Example :

0 registered entertainers inside = no cover charge (Non-registered entertainers will still be allowed inside the cantina and be allowed to perform as usual. They will just not earn any of the cover charge.)
1 registered entertainer inside = 10cr cover charge
2 registered entertainers inside = 20cr cover charge
3+ registered entertainers inside = 30cr cover charge

As a registered entertainer at the cantina you would get a payment every 24hours from cover charge at the cantina. This payment will be a percentage of Battle Fatigue healed at the cantina by you. Example :

After 24 hours the total income for the cantina from cover charge was 1000.

After 24 hours the total battle fatigue healed by all performers was 2000.

After 24 hours the total battle fatigue healed by you was 300.

You healed 15% of the Battle fatigue at the cantina (300/2000). Your payment will be 15% of the cantina's total income for the day. This means you will earn 150cr for the day. Payment will be deposited automatically to your bank account and you will receive an email detailing how many battle fatigue you healed etc.

This system leaves the door open for other nice features. For example a weekly prize which goes to the entertainer that healed the most Battle Fatigue.

This system will give entertainer income a good boost.
