Thread: Draft of the entertainer top issues
Edit: In case you hadn't figured it out... This post was a joke. The real thing is over there.
I've had the thread up for awhile now, and as it is a new quarter, it is time to start collecting these all together and creating a list. Based on your responses, this is the list I have come up with. There hasn't been much change to the profession since the thread was started, but there have been a few announcements that could potentially impact the profession. While this could potentially change priorities, I feel it is important to keep putting stress on what we feel is important right now, not in the future. We need to keep reminding them the changes ARE important to us.
So, on to the list....
- AFK Macros
These are repetative, boring, and rather unentertaining. For the entertainer profession, this will just not do. Therefore, we would like the ability to either have some way to respond to people talking to us, such as something like Eliza we could activate while we are AFK, or we would like the macros to be expanded into a more functional scripting engine.
- Empty Cantinas/registration broken
There are cantinas all over the place that just never get used. As a result, those who need healing don't know if they will be able to get it at their local cantina or not. Since the registration doesn't even work most the time, there is no easy way to find out except to go there. To solve this, we would like to see all these empty cantinas completely removed from the game, and only the Coronet cantina to remain. This will solve the registration issue. The people who need the healing will only have one cantina to look in instead of up closer to 100.
- Dancers falling
This has been bothering dancers since the beginning of the game. Even the most skilled dancer stumbles very often, while the musicians play every note perfectly. Musicians should be playing wrong notes as often as dancers fall, perhaps more often to make up for lost time. Furthermore, image designers should occasionally slip while applying lipstick and leave a streak, or mess up on body/face work resulting in a horrible disfigurement.
- Entertainers have no content/gameplay
We would like to see events that focus on entertainers. A good example of this would be the droideka invading the Coronet cantina and slaughtering all the entertainers. Perhaps with each publish something new could come through and slaughter all the defenseless entertainers. For example the jedi revamp publish could have sith come through the cantina. The smuggler revamp could have a bad batch of spice sold to all the entertainers. The squad leader revamp could have.... Well, the idea may not work for ALL publishes.
- We can't buff outselves!
This has been bothering us for a long time.. We can't buff ourselves at all, yet doctors have been able to since the beginning. It doesn't really make sense. I mean, what doctors really operate on themselves? I don't see dentists going and drilling their own teeth. It completely ruins the immersion that doctors can go around buffing and healing themselves.
If you have any feedback, feel free to speak up. I will be sending this list to TH sometime next week, so there will be no changing it at that point.

ROFL . . . I especially liked #4. That could prove most interesting

Thanks Tiaga. Oh, and congrats on being in Garva's Galactic Home Show.
Ooh.. is it too late to add something to the list?
We have too many dances, and too many flourishes. It just gets confusing. I propose a simpler dancing system that has only two dances and 1 flourish (should be the same for both dances). This way I won't have to choose. It's easier to keep track of. It's less typing, and leaves a lot more space on my toolbars for important things like /lick, /lick self, and /lick target hotkeys.
Tips and heals appreciated!
