Thread: Entertainer Protest Tuesdays Join the Jam for an Entertainer Revamp!
What force skills will you be implementing for specific advantage to the musician profession? Will they be implemented with the Jedi system, or how soon after? If the answer is "NONE" may we provide a list of suggested skills that would be specific to this profession for developer consideration?
The answer is “none”. Please work with NewJedi to develop a reasonable list and I will work with the team to see what is possible and what is not.

protest "organization" is not welcome on our forums and is strictly against the forum rules.

Look they have already stated when they revamp entertainers it'll be after the expansion... We have a lot that needs to be fixed and it's going to take a while. Our dance moves alone could take a year, they have to do it digitally then put it to real life making it a smoother flow. And to get a good bit of moves done, you're looking at a year peroid; the fact is the are prolly working on it, just can't endulge anyhting yet because it isn't close to being done. Why get someone's hopes up when it'll be a good long time before they see anything being done? The simple thing them trying to find out what kind of missions we'd like is showing that they know we need something done about it. They've got enough to worry about--when we actually for once have totally server stability we'll get things done faster but you see we don't... so stop whining--- it isn't helping.
I am well aware that they *may* be doing something for us at this point. However, they've also stated that pretty much everything will be looked at and fixed "after the expansion." We will, if history is any example, be at the bottom of the totem pole if we take your passive view of "things will get better, we'll wait and see what shows up." I think many of use would just like the simple act of some assurance that there is significant content and gameplay additions in the works for Entertainers. If, however, the community shares your view of "stop whining" (which personally, I felt wassaid in an unnecessarily rude way)then I will stop "whining" and go about my business.
I welcome any constructivefeedback from the community regarding this.
I am a Dancer myself on Gorath and I will try to get as much ppl to protest, too.
Sadly, I live in Germany and 6pm EST is 12am GMT+1 ... too late for most of the german ppl to join especially if they have to work the other day.
So my question: Is there anything I -or we- could support you with? In any way ...?
Take care, ~Cyn~ ^^

(incidentally, the post on the site splices parts of my email with parts of the post, and it makes it sound like the protest was my idea. my email submission to them didn't imply that it was my idea, and I don't want to steal credit. just some unfortunate editing by the news editors there)

Please stop complaning the entertainers just got a bunch of new stuff with ID wanna whine about something and protest do it over smugglers we have been promised a revamp from the get go

A Smuggler is an elite profession. An ID is an elite profession. By saying that entertainers gota bunch of new stuff with ID, so we should be happy, that's like saying TKM's are getting Razorknucklers,so Smugglers should be happy. Musician, Image Designer, and Dancer are totally different elite professions off of the Entertainer skill tree. If one wants to be a Dancer or Musician, one needn't even do any of the ID skill boxes. It's a different elite profession. What binds us all together is our style of gameplay, the social aspect of SWG, which has remained stagnant for us for quite a long time. This is akin to ALL combat professions' gameplay remaining stagnant. No new content - no corvette, no death watch bunker, no new weapon schematics, no new missions, nothing.
And if you want to whine about Smugglers getting a revamp, you guys have a forum for that, and besides - you KNOW you're getting a revamp. Please, do NOT misunderstand, one of my alts is a smuggler, and I fully understand how frustrated and upset you guys are- but, at least you've gotten some indication from the Devs that you have a priority for a revamp and it's nearing completion. Heck, one of em was basically begging you guys for forgiveness for delaying your revamp - and rightfully so - they've dragged their feet on you guys for far too long. Our little addition of new content, the Hutt Casino, got brushed aside without much worry on the Devs' part. At least you're getting a revamp - we have no indication our professions aregetting worked on at all, really. There are rumors, but we are told nothing.

Seems you guys and gals got nerfed instead. For some reason, I can't get a musician or dancer buff at the same time anymore since the most recent patch from two different people. I have to get one, then the other, and I lose 10 minutes on my already short-lived buffs.
Or is there a trick to it that I'm missing?

This is but one of the many things that just don't work, but we get no word from anyone about it. Should it work? Is there a way to make it work? Why did it stop working? We have no idea, and no one on the Dev team seems to care or notice we're frustrated by it. It was nerfed by their bizarre fix for the xp gain exploit for entertainers - and now we're stuck becauseno one listens to us. Even better is when you listen and perform for 10 minutes, and get no buff - not necessarily when you're getting dance buffed, too. Or how about playing for 10 minutes and having the person get a really weak buff. That's always fun, too - since we can't buff over current buffs and we wasted both our time and our patron's time.

I have to agree with the other people... Smugglers are getting a bad rap from the devs.. I feel the smugglers should protest WAY more than entertainers... second behind smugglers i believe is Bounty Hunters.. so called droid bug fix... and the devs actually think a BH can kill jedi.. HAH! but Smuggler i think is the most ignored profession by the devs... pushing back their revamp to fix the "precious jedi"... so the devs decide to put the 3% of players first before the combat revamp and all that other crap.. i guess this post has turned into a rant.. well to sum it up.. smugglers are in a worse position than entertainers..
i agree, but this is not the smuggler's forum - if you guys want a protest, organize one. The purpose of this is not to judge what profession needs fixes more than another, the purpose is that OUR profession is unhappy and we want action. If you guys propose a smugglers protest, I'm there in a heartbeat. My alt is a smuggler. And even if not, I'd still show up, because you guys have been hosed since day 1.
Again, this is not to debate whose profession sucks more, or is broken more, this is to say "We are unhappy and our suggestions and requests fall on deaf ears. We request some reassurance we're not going to be extinct by the time they decide to actually try to make a new song or dance (when in fact we need about 20)".
At least you guys KNOW you're getting a revamp. We're getting a casino sometime late next year, I'm sure - with 1 new song to play. That's not going to help our professions.
