please correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember one of the devs saying that the new FS skill trees (non Jedi) would have something for almost all professions.... they do indeed have lotsa stuff for different professions but I see nothing for entertainers... here is the link to the skill trees.............. I realize these may be tentative, but we should not hesitate to ask what's up

NEVERMIND



me thinks 'twas a rumor... here is what was said:
http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/content.jsp?page=Jedi%20Archives%20Volume%202



Force Sensitivity
Players will have to complete a series of quests in order to enable their Force Sensitive Skills. These quests are for anyone who has not yet completed the existing Jedi path, regardless of how many professions they have mastered. These quests represent Jedi Revamp Part 2: The Jedi Trials which will be live in Publish 10. We will discuss the details in future Jedi Archives as we get closer to that publish. I know there are many of you eager to know how the switch to the new Force sensitivity path will affect you so I felt we needed to touch on the key points. Credit will be given to players for the professions they have mastered and that credit is the ability to rapidly advance through the Force sensitivity path. These are skill boxes that enable small gains towards skills a player will be familiar with. These skill boxes will be "Force enhancements" that will augment their existing professional skills to simulate a fictional "Force sensitivity". For example, a player can purchase a box of Crafting Sensitivity and gain a small bonus to crafting. This simulates their character being more in tune with the Force so they may have slightly better reflexes, insights, etc. All these skills are passive and do not generate "Jedi visibility".



we still aren't getting anything but I guesssssssss instrument crafting will get a bonus under the crafting sensitivity
ha. ha.

There is an entertainer profession? I thought all those people in the cantina were animatronic, like the bears at ShowBiz Pizza.

Its really sad that there isnt an entertainer branch, especially when one branch is for "luck" and another is "vehicle control."

Yes, I'd like to see an entertainer branch too, and I'm not optimistic. That said, TH keeps warning us Correspondents that the skill trees are unfinished and that nothing is finished yet, etc etc. I'm still not optimistic.

Yes, I've posted a thread in the Correspondent forum asking what (if any) Force Sensitive powers we entertainers might get, and I mentioned buff duration and power as examples. I also mentioned Mind tricks, teleportation, and other stuff, but I would think buff duration would be the prime candidate. I'll let you know if I get a reply that I can pass on.


If we don't get an answer, this actually might be a candidate for our next Question.

One word.


Ridiculous.


Why are we left out of everything. Granted, it'd be a total blast and so much fun to get throughly destroyed in the Corellian Corvette or Death Watch Bunker, since we're such a critical part of that new content.


I hope they do something about this.

Bleh, another thing that entertainers get nothing from.


Can't say I'm very surprised though, even though I hope those trees are not the finished end product.


IMHO it would be easy to think of something that could be added to the "Heightened Senses tree" and the "Enhanced Reflexes tree" for musicians and dancers. Image Designers might be more tricky.


I mean, if they can add a bonus to surveying of all things, it shouldn't be too hard to add a small bonus or two to music and dancing mind enhancement. Might be easy enough to include some visual illusions (mind tricks) for entertainers too, but I suppose we don't count in the eyes of the DEVs.

Well, now I'm reading rumors that there will be "Acrobat" skills for entertainers, but they're just rumors. I don't see any such skills when I fuss with my Jedi on TC2.

Hmmmm now you mention the Acrobat skills, it reminds of a patch message that went out a few months ago that included 'Juggling' skills for the ent classes. This was removed quite quickly when people spotted it and was quoted as a mistake. There have since been several posts on the forums about a new Juggling class.


Should be interesting.

Seems more like an entire new entertainer profession. It's being discussed in the entertainer forum at this thread:


Acrobat, Ghost or Hope?


Sounds like an attempt at creating some sort of combat entertainer, which to me seems rather uninteresting enough. (I'd rather see the DEVs work on adding content and fixing problems to the existing entertainer professions first).
