So how are you entertainer guys and girls after the CU? Please tell me...

How does this new Inspiration buff working out for you?

I think overall quite well in my own experience. Most people seem excited to hear about it when I explain it to them, and I've had several repeat customers who come seeking the inspiration buff specifically.

How are customer treating you?

Relatively well thus far, but really about the same as always on my server. Some come in and don't say a word, then go on their way, while others seem happy to chat about their day and do the ocassional /cheer or /applaud. Tips seem, in my own personal experience, somewhat more common, but in slightly smaller amounts, than what I am used to from before the CU.

Is the buffbots gone?

I've seen a few of the old buffbots still around, but not consistently, and I don't think I've seen one trying to act as a buffbot now.

How are the cantinas?

There are still AFK players and spam, but I have to say that the coronet cantina is markedly improved in its general ambience from the days before the CU. While I would avoid the coronet cantina like the plague before, I've now been having an enjoyable time playing there consistently.

Any more you want to tell me?

Not everything's fixed, but I think we have some promise.

Hello!
A more positive post here, I think. Today has been my first foray into checking out the Musician's forum, since I'm currently working on this profession. I'm usually over in the Image Designer forums.

You ask:
How does this new Inspiration buff working out for you?
Well, I like it. It's nice to get an xp bonus, which is simple and easy.

How are customer treating you?
For the most part, pretty great. There are little leet-tards who try to make your day suck here and there, but a lot of people are really enjoying the ATK entertainers. I made a ton more money now by dancing and playing music, than before the CURB.

Is the buffbots gone?
Yes, for the most part. First, ANY musician or dancer can give on, so you don't see the AFK buff bot anymore. Just people who are grinding the profession. And most of those are AFK. They're just not actively selling.

How are the cantinas?
At times quiet, and at times busy. I find the cantina stays busier when I'm chatting and socializing with the other players, especially for an audience. A couple of us had figured some ways around that /listen bug, and we were able to make a good amount of credits from folks who had a ton of BF. I'm happy that most of the people in the Cantinas actually /want/ to be there, ya know?

Any more you want to tell me?
I am enjoying my professions way more than I have in the last few months. I've been auditioning to join the biggest and best band on gorath, The Kreetles (http://www.kreetles.com/). I've given up all combat and have been concentrating on being the best Entertainer possible. I'm having a BLAST.

Well at least the Respec let me to take Dancer instead of Musician. I always like the Musician bonus better in the old system but I wanted to be a dancer. On one hand it was also great because I could drop from master to 0/4/0/4, and I only kept the last tree becuase I need the healing xp to get it and considering my combat alt gets no BF I am sure that it will be impossible to get BF. I am hoping that there will be new things added in the furture to make an Entertainer worth it, otherwise forget it. Giving out a 5% xp bonus... who cares! Anyone that doesn't have their character the way they want it, probably will after the respec is over... who will need an xp bonus then?? I hav a feeling I will be 0/0/0/4 in a short time. Yes getting killed trying to go anywhere sucks, especially when some cities have hostiles sitting outside the starport. (Was just DB'd by a thug on the steps of the starport last night. :@ ) I totally agree that this Combat Upgrade made the game almost Completely Combat oriented! Everyone else got screwed!
