Warryyr,the song is the most significant content we've gotten in a year. Do you seriously expect the devs to give it away in an hour-long quest?

After more than a year of ignoring us and leaving us with broken and unfinished dancesand no new music? I expect them to give us the dance and music, I expect it to work and I expect them to get down on their knees and kiss our hawt-panted butts for it taking so long and being so little. What we are getting, if we ever get it, is too little too late.

Echinacea, do you have a single SEA for that 25% bonus to musical mind enhancement or a few combined?

I have the fugliest suit of clothes cobbled together with tapes strewn about them, comprised of a bone crest with +25 wound healing from tissues, a tight jacket, an Aa'kuan shirt with +3 musical mind enhancement over and above the standard +10 bleeding resistance, a mercenary bandolier, link steel reinforced gloves, a belt, infiltrator pants and sandals.

Most of my clothing is purple or blue; I decided I'd wear clothes of those colors when colors other than pink and grey became available after launch. The Aa'kuan shirt really throws that off, the cut of the tight jacket leaves a lot to be desired (I was impatient to put the tape into a jacket, and that was all I had), and I really hate how clothing belts look like hula hoops. And the bandolier was a gift from a friend and came with a +5 tape already in it, so I didn't get to pick a color other than black or chose to put it in a sash/shoulder strap, which I would have had I had the opportunity.

If I replace my Aa'kuan shirt with a light bustier I put a +3 fatigue healing (music) tape into, I'm over the +25 cap for fatigue healing, too. And with me being a Twi'lek, that helps. I get comments on how fast I heal, espcially compared to a human buffbot with no healing mods.

While you are right in that this is the most significant content since the game's release, that's a very depressing thought. After 14 months a profession whose job, whose very definition and reason for existing is playing music gets their very first new song, and we are epected to fall to our knees in bliss and kiss the Dev's feet for it? (yes, I'm exaggerating, I know that's not what you said or meant ).

I want to assess whether it would be possible to "sever" the quests and push just our song to Live, so that the dance could be worked on. Not that I'll have any meaningful influence on that decision, lol.

While I *very* much appreciate you putting forth the effort to get our stuff in Live (since it seems to beworking fine), I'd rather see us stick together as the Entertainer community always has.

I'd almost feel it unfair to get our new stuff while the Dancers continue to wait.

I'd rather see the Devs put forth the initiative necessary to prioritize this correctly, and get the problems worked out. Had Publish 10 been moved to 10.1, then 10.2, then no one heard another thing about progress on it or what it's status is, people would have torn this game apart.

I know quite a few Entertainers who are very fed up with the fact that not only has this broken stuff sat around months and months, but our new content has been shoved back twice now. And, we've heard nothing from the Dev team as to status or whether they're even fixing the new dance. That's completely unacceptable.

I say we stand strong with the Dancers, and tell the Devs we don't want anything new unless Dancers get something, as well. And we both deserve rewards that are bug-free. Solidarity, brothers and sisters!

Personally, if they implement our stuff before the Dancers get their new (working!) dance, I will refuse to get the new song or even start the quest until the Dancers get their part in.

If they implement the quest with the broken dance, I will refuse to do the quest until the dance is fixed.

Fragpuppie: As for the quests,I honestly had fun doing them. The fact that you didn't underscores the challenge in creating quests that try to measure how "well" we play our profession. As I've said before, computer AI can measure combat prowess and crafting quality, but it can't measure the quality of an artistic performance, something that is subjective. The quests seem to me a good start given that overriding constraint.
