We're all pretty worn out recently regarding the current set of issues. I'm putting forth a set of things I would love to see for the entertainment classes from the upcoming expansion pack. The gimmick? We all know the current issues we're having, and I want to pretend they'll all be resolved by them. Hence, these are actual additions to our classes, not corrections or current issues! If you have any, please mention them..it would be nice to have something to discuss that's not mired in controversy right now!
Entertainer Class -
I would really like to see hair wraps and ribbons added to the basic image design tree. Perhaps craftable items we could then install for clients, these ribbons and wraps could be placed as head adornment early on and offer that tribal feel. I would also love to see the master entertainer dances we currently have replaced with a new dance, tribal, a dance filled with tumbling, jumping, and generally more frenetic movement than the current dancelines. I would also like to have an additional instrument, a drum of some sort tossed in the music line. I think everyone would enjoy having fewer horns and more bass early on in the game!
Image designer Class -
I would love if the new cybernetic parts where somehow tied to Image Design - perhaps not the crafting, which is almost certain to be either DE or Doctor granted, but perhaps we would be able to place "skins" on the parts to change their look or affect. I would also like to see a few more alien options come in - most obviously some wookie hairstyles. I'd like to be able to at least offer wookies a handful of braided styles, perhaps with twigs or bones tied in a la the rots stuff i've seen. I'd also really like to be able to braid lekku back, extend rodian spikes to be longer and less "civilized" and get some new trandoshan crest patterns. I would really love if we coud pierce and adorn trandoshan crests.
Musician Class -
I would love to have a new song based on music from Kashyyk or the Ewok music added to ROTJ added as a song somewhere into this expansion. Also, there's a fair concensus another stringed instrument would be nice and I would like to see a sort of tribal harplike instrument added. I'm envisionining something between a handharp and a shamisan that might be playable either at the level we don't currently get a new instrument, or perhaps at master.
Dancer Class -
I would love to see yet another new dance added - ritual. I would also love to see dancers be able to use a handful of new equippable items to enhance their dances. A simple example would be cymbals and bells, worn during exotic and ritual to add a musical element. I would also love to see some sort of luminous jewelry, such as bracelets or anklets that could be worn during the more gyrating dances to create a "trace" effect such as you see with the red lines during tera kasi fights. Finally, I would love to see a "Dance Master" command that allows a master dancer to "form up" a troupe of dancers to send them through a choreographed dance. Perhaps by adding a "join in troupe" sub command this would be similar to bandflourishing but then affect the entire troupe.
What do you think? Anything you want to add?

Great idea! I would love to see the new content ALL come in the form of some quest we have to do!

Nice idea, the Ewok song is a classic, and yes, a classic wookie instrument would be nice for the expansion 
Maybe including a quest on Kashyyk to get one. Like: Be master musician, go to kashyyk, talk to the wise kashyyk master of arts, do a music quest, get the intrument

if you are looking for tribal or ritual dances, look at the Haka, a Maori war dance performed by the New Zealand Rubgy team before they play an international game.
That sort of dance would be an awesome addition to the entertainer professions. In fact, more "ethnic" music and dance, taking in Janta, Mokk, Ewok, Wookie etc. would be really nice.

LOL I could really get into a bunch of dancers in Tuskan raider outfits around a campfire doing a dance. I would really love if some of the weapons, when held in combat would randomly "proc" a shot. Give it a real primitive frenzied feel!
