Thread: GIG Missions are WAY Better!
Let me do the math for you folks complaining!
The Noble way:
Step 1. get 2 gigs at same location in the town your in. = 10-45 min
Step 2. Do the 2 gigs, 1 Dance and 1 Musician. = 20 min
== Wel over an hour for 1400 credits MAX!
The New Missions way:
Step 1. Get 2 gigs(both dance or music)= 5 min MAX!
Step 2. Do 1 gig! ( They both payout at the same time!) =10 min
== Up to 1600 per hour!!
I make MORE now than befor!!!!
All due with respect, you still don't get it.
We aren't talking about taking two mission In towns 
Rather, things DOESN'T make sense (Noble mission in Theater backstage vs Shuttle Ticket)
Heres the real reason why gig missions blow....if your actually excited about making 1400 credits in an HOUR...thats sad. I am a master musician, dont get me wrong, but i make at least 30,000 credits a DAY selling resources (and that is a low number for those who sell resources). technically thats less than 1400 credits an hour...but i only do like an hours worth of work to get that....entertainer gigs suck, and need to be fixed. until then....let the noobs have em
lol 1400/hr i cant belive you think thats good... play a cantina as a master musician/ master entertainer and youll get like 8k-12k/hr so how does that mesure up?

Well thats one way to up your post count theredouble and triple posting things that could have been said in one post. Youwhoseem to haveso much free time, a few degrees, soon to be 2 jobs, etc..This is totally not a game question but...Do you want another job or do you need it? Also what degrees do you have if you infact need another job..as I will make sure my kids do not go to school for them.
Jer_Jedi, do you realize this forum left out EDIT button? That's what causing it!
Yes I realize I posted 1K messages, maincuz I am passionate about this game... No denying there.Yet the truth is I hit 40 hrs at work, but they won't let me go overtime BIG (little bit is ok), so I want another job.
As for the what degree, what job,and your kids thing... Why? If it'sinsultingat all I won't answer.
I think you are misjudging me overall, pleasedo NOT!
On to topic...
In fact, Cati, the way it used to be was Noble give you 400-600 gig missions in the theater.
You can (Follow please):
Let's say the mission payout is 500 average.
Because shuttle time is 10 minutes, you can only take 6 missions an hour
So, if you calculated it right with shuttle time (10 Minutes) andrun your missions, Minus the Shuttle cost (Let's sayit's150)
(500-150)*6=2100 Credits in an hour...
so, what did you say current way is in an hour?
Old way. no matter how you look at it, was MUCH MUCH MORE than it is now!

If I seemed rude, or arrogant to you for my posts, wellI didn't mean any 
I was hoping you recognize what I believe to be very flawed logic on Devs part; Not trying to fight you

No hard feelings here, Ijust want you to understand. I think the devs did a good job!
I am talking about getting 2 Musician(I hate dancing) Gigs in the town im in.
The Logic is 'The Noble Gigs were allways bad'.
I am verry aware of how it used to be. I did them all the time,from day 1.
You are still missing one verry important Fact in your Timetable: Time!
There is NO WAY you could do 6 gigs an hour.!.
10-15 minutes per gig+ The Time it takes to get the gigs from the Noble and get to and from the gig = NO WAY!
You could Waste 10 minutes to an Hour just getting the Gigs from the Noble! (If you are trying to get 2 in the same town you are in.) Then you would have to do 2 Gigs ,10 min each if your a master of both Music and Dance. Plus You take a shuttle! If I was lucky i could do3-4 an hour.
Now I can get 2 (paying 196 each, in the town im in) in Under 5 min. And compleat Both gigs in 10 min.
That adds up to 8 an HOUR!!
It is all about the bottem line , what is the Max I can get out of Gigs in the Shortest amount of time.
Taking a shuttle is an expense, and doesn't factor into my equation of Income. And probly not the devs either.
For me,I can make more Now with the New Gigs!
Josh,
So your saying I still make more than you?
" technically thats less than 1400 credits an hour"
I can make up to 1600 an hour.
No Risk, no shuttles, and I don't have to run around all day and deal with harvesters. Just Pop out of the cantinato get the gigs and go right back to playing.
The point of this thread is to compare The Old Gigs with the New.
NOT Gigs and Other ways to make Credits.
I am an Entertainer! Not a Merchant, I don't own a gun, And I'm NOT the Delivery Guy!
I'm sick and tired of players Booing anything the Devs try to do for us!
So , Why did you poke your head in here?
famousFATWOOKIE,
I'm soo happy you make such Great tips!
Most Entertainers Don't make thoes kinda tips All the time!
I don't do to bad in the tips department, Not as good as you. Certanly NOT enough to pay for all my expenses. I buy clothes mostly, and tiping healers. And Im trying to save up for a Large house.
Gigs are a Great way to supplement our income!

Of course NO hard feelings, I am not some loser that will hate/judge people easily just because they differ in some useless opinion
But... No way you can do 6 gigs an hour?
Ok, let me ask you a simple question, how long does it take toComplete a mission?I believe no more than 5-6 minutes with full flourishs (I think it's based on flourishs rather than time). If you calculated it right, you can MAKE IT!
IF you seriously familiar with city layouts etc, and has a fast computer, and you will make it!
Some Gig missions destination is Cantina, some is Theater, and some is Hotel.
1) Familarize which city has shuttleport NEXT/CLOSEST to a Cantina, Hotel or Theater
(eg: Theed has a Shuttleport(SP)right next to the theater, another another SPpretty closeto the hotel, and a SP in the middle, realClose to the Cantina too... same with Keren, Cantina and a shuttleport right next to each other
2) When you get a mission in the theater, look at the datapad and it will tell you the destination. Perhaps, with your knowledge of 1) you can instantly remember which one is it.Otherwise, you couldmake a chart or something LOL...
3) Yeah, do remember burst run comes back after 10 minutes too, so use that to your advantage.
4) If you use Burst run, a lot flourishes, knowledge of whereabouts effiently enough, I think you can do 6 missions per hour.
Even 5 missions an hours still earn you 1750...
That's really not the point though The main point is no matter you take a single mission, or 6 missions an hour,the OLD way Was Obviously Better!
Let this thru, we are NOT bashing the devs (At least I AM DEFINATELY NOT) we just want to fix the problem!
I see that, other people agrees with me, but why don't you?

The FedEx way: 2 missions out of town, 2 back. Pay >600 each - shuttle two tickets = come out with >2000 in 30 minutes max if you have to wait for shuttles.
I don't think I'll ever do entertainer missions if I can earn money instead. Nice addition, but time totally wasted on me. Instead they could have added something else.
I can't agrre with you becouse you are wrong! The only others that are disagreeing are saying ' But I can make better Credits doing Something Else"
The New Gigs ARE Better than the Nobles used to be.!.
I can do2 Musician Gigs in the Same time it would take me to do1 from the nobles.
As a Master Musician it takes9-10 minutes to do 1 Musiciangig from the noble.
Keep in mind, the old way, you would have to do 1 Musicain and 1 Dance.
Thats 20 minutes per set IF you are a Master MusicianAND Master Dancer. That does not leave you with enough time to do 6 gigs an hour ANDget the gigs AND travel.
OR the New way:10 minutes to do 2 Musician gigs from the new terminal! (they both payout at the same time).
I can do 8 Gigs an Hour! Now , Do you see?
nvoigt,
Im happy you like being the Delivery Guy!
I Don't! Its boring and lame! And I hope they Take it out!
Ya, Thats right! I hope theywhack Delivery Missions with the WHOLE NERF FOREST!
The risk vs reward is CRAZY!
Like I have said. I am a Musician!
And to get paid for something Im doing allready is better than doing something I don't want to do.
Good day to you sir,You are the weakest link!
