Note on the audition: you need to use /changemusic (or dance) or you will fail the audition, and the flourished and music is random (I did it as Novice musician and did folk and rock).

It is also currently bugged on mission2 - the people listening to you get the system message you should get so you don't know how many more have to listen to you.

Mission 3 is still bugged, you don't get a system message telling you to get on stage.

We'll keep /bugging it but the quests are getting better - they at least get this far now!

Yup, I tested this out with both a musician and a dancer today. I would also suggest having your listeners /bug the message they get so there are more reports to get noticed.

While mission 3 does not spawn an audience, and you don't get anymessage to start your performance, you also do not fail your mission if you leave the stage. In fact, you can return to the manager and she will give you the mission again.

I forgot to mention you get 500 credits for the first mission, but nothing for the second one (except tips, of course...which I got a lot of since virtually everyone there has 500k, they aren't shy about spreading around the credits )

This is more of a confirmation than anything else. So far it doesn't appear that much has changed since Fragpuppie's post. There are a few things to note though.

1. System messages about how many more people need to be entertained (missions 2,4) now appear on the entertainer's computer instead of the entertainee's computer. This is so for everything except reaching popularity rating of 2 where the message still appears on the customer's side.

2. I was unable to start the fifth mission. The manager gave me the usual mindless NPC spiel. She had a hard day yadda yadda yadda. Then she finally says "Oh yes, I see, I see. Yes we do have an open slot coming up here very shortly. Are you ready to get started with your show now?"
I was given the selections "As ready as I'll ever be." "Actually I'm not quite ready yet." and "Stop Conversing"
The first choice simply made her repeat herself with the "Oh yes, I see..." part. The second makes her say "Nervous? I understand. Just come back when you're ready, and we'll get you up on stage." and the last simply closes out of her conversation altogether.

3. It is possible to log for the evening and come back the next day to entertain more people on missions 2 and 4. Your count does not reset over night, and you still receive your popularity rating.

4. Your approval rating seems to increase on mission 3 when you don't repeat the same /flo too often. I failed the first time I tried and did a combination of /flos I've learned sound good together, but it repeats /flo 5 a few times, and I noticed that after that series, my rating didn't go as high as it did when I made sure to use all the /flos without repeating them too often before changing songs. The second time I tried mission 3, I never repeated a /flo without changing songs, and I had a success...whether or not these are directly related? I have no clue, I'm going to log in with anotheravatar and see what else I can do.

I am Master E / M / D
I just did the 2nd leg of the Entertainer Quest.
I got 12 people to listen to me.
I got system messages for 9 of those people... the last system message I got was that I need 1 more person to listen to me.
I got the people that weren't listed in the system messages to /stopl and then /listen again, but I never got a system message for those 3 people listening to me.

This is for all popuilarity levels (well both). The final one sometimes gives the message to the listener not the performer. I have /bug ed it. So should you.

I stopped playing and talked to the TM... she said "Excellent Work. .... speak with me when you want to begin."
I was never informed of having reached popularity level 1 as others have claimed to have been told.
Now when I dialogue with the TM and tell her "Yes, I'm ready. Let's get this show on the road.", I get the same exact four dialogue options off of her... I keep choosing "yes, I'm read..." but it keeps showing me the same dialogue choices. I also tried all sorts of variations of combinations of the four dialogue choices as well as disconnecting, but I can not get her past the option above.
thanks very much

I have not seen this. I have seen other issues, but they were corrected (she would say OK be on stage in 3 minutes then nothing, judges not appearing etc). I did #5 twice, 6 (maybe 4 again) and 7 (maybe 5 again) earlier today, and at least one#5on each server. They worked fine for me. 1 char is MM, the other is Music 4340, neither are ME.

I am not seeing any approval ratings or popularity level notifications in any way......... Frag, from what you are saying, these sound EXTREMELY LAME, SHALLOW AND INSULTING..... oh well what did we expect?

I have not seen the ratings either. I see no badge, or anything so I dunno where they are kept or what they do.

Yes they do sound lame, shallow and insulting. In theory I have not gotten past #5 (even tho I completed it). Lets see what the final "prize" is. I have low expectations also, and I'm still sharpening my sword.

thanks RS

I just succeeded at Mission Three!

The NPC audience give you hints as to what to do!

You can use /conv on the NPCs to talk to them from the stage
