Aye Jedi I know Mon.

Dont get me wrong the Buff we had tossed to us is nice...hell anything that requires ATK is nice

anyhoo ....10 questions huh OK

OK first is a tuffy but I'll get easier

1.) We all know 2 week ago admins were messing around with the forums and all became a corospondent due to this. It was noticed during this time that while DE's have been slated for a fix it was stated that some of their larger issues won't be addressed till Summertime.

With that said we know devs have mentioned fixes to DE's. If it's going to take till summer to fix a class you have slated for fixes. How long is it going to take to address, enhance, and properly implement, a class like ours, of which you have barely mentioned?

(This query covers songs and flourishes etc.)

OK short Version...When?

We have waited 9 months...when are we going to see anything.....

2.) Will the ability to AFK level and play a performer ever be addressed?

3.) Are there any plans to add much needed functionality to Band scenario's?

4.) Are their plans to properly implement the ME class.

5.) Are their plans to add the ability to customize instruments sound and colors?

6.) Will the Quality of the instrument ever effect the sound?

7.) Are there plans to address mission/quests to make then even slightly interesting.

8.) This is more of an idea then a question but here goes.. any performer who has done large gigs knows that lyrics gets lost in the chat spam. Any chance of alowing the "Sing" command to also color the fonts?

(might seem silly to some )

9.) Any plans to Fix Theatres?

10.) Presently the majority of musicians are Holo grinders and AFK bots. Where do you(devs) invision this class you created will be in, 9 months?

They should know already, they should skim through these boards more often, then they will see.

Anyway:

1. Why did you say "wait" for our Top 5?

2-6 Top 5

7. Can you help stop the afkers a LITTLE? i am getting threats from the ones who actually decide to play some

8. With SE can you add some stuff for us and give us entertainer ships?

thats all i can think of....

Anyone else care to weigh in with their top ten questions for the devs? I really should get these to TH in the next couple of days, and no one has added to this thread since Tuesday. If no one else weighs in, I'll tally em up and post what I plan to send to TH. If I don't get more posts in this thread, the "polling sample" may be a bit small, and I may need to consult my "top five issues" thread for further guidance on what the most common questions are.

yeah nj- seems as tho our numbers are shrinking both on the servers adn the boards i would use the top 5 these questions and the idea's thread as your guide and use the lack of sample as a reason it needs to be addressed asap... i would say that since launch (only counting active acounts) our numbers of true entertainers has droped about 70%

Well said, Sweatyclimber.

Okie, I'll tally things up over the weekend and post what I plan to send to TH.

or you could just post my questions j/k

1. When are performers going to quit being treated like streetwalking trash? And I don't mean by the player base. I mean by the developers. The player base doesn't take us seriously because it sure as hell looks like the development team doesn't. They came up with this fantastic profession...and haven't followed through with making it something other than half-arsed.


2. Denial of Service as it exists is not enough. It needs to operate off the /addignore list. Someone I've decided I have no intention of healing can sneak in when it's crowded and benefit from my work when I don't want to bestow my skills upon them. The only way I can actively police exactly who I'm healing or buffing is to make a macro that does /denyservice to everyone I've put on my ignore list...and that's a hell of a list. I take no **edit** from anyone.So the question is: Are the Developers even aware that there are performers who feel that the current Denial of Service methodology is a problem? I'm not the only one, I've spoken with others who agree.


3. When are droid engineers getting a droid module that will allow fatigue and mind would healing outside the cantina? That medics can fully and completelyoperate outside their professional building, but we can't, is one of the reasons for Question #1.


4. When will instrument quality matter? Either for not taking as much Actionto play, playing better music (though that would require inserting off notes, and I know that won't happen) or adding to healing.


5. When will performers be able to toggle on or off listening to or watching themselves so they can buff themselves? That, as far as I can tell, is the thing holding us back from buffing ourselves.


6. When will registration mean anything? Registration as it exists is totally useless. Not only because no one knows that they can check via the planetary map to see which cantinas are staffed, but after the morning reset, all of them are set to 'on'. Same with player Theaters. Nor can I register in a Hotel or a Guild Hall (NPC Theater), on which I've submitted bug reports. I think fixing this would contribute to helping with several problems.


7. When will PC Theaters actually be worth even 3 lots? As it stands now, they're pointless. Even RP is prohibitively difficult in them, as they have no stagelighting unless the mayor puts in streetlamps.


8. This is pretty low priority for me, but what the hell: When are we getting new songs andinstruments?


9. When are missions going to stop being an insult and a joke?


10. When are we going to be able to do factional missions as performers?
