Under 200 creds? Well back to playing and hoping that i get tips. I play a pure entertainer on Kauri and I am sorry but we are really getting the shaft on this one. Might as well rename us "Poor People" or "Vagrants".

Every other type of mission pays better. Artisan even. And NPC missions now are cut from 500 to under 200 with a difficulty rating of 5? What makes the difficulty rating anyway? Take em out SOE just seeing them makes my blood boil.

Its an insult to our profession.

Yes i did one and then i took two for the same place. They work.

If you need help figuring them out i can help ya, but really they are not worth your time to figure out atm.

Let's put it this way, i have no combat skills and on Talus the chunker pests are now in the city of Dearic. They do not attack but i tried an experiment. I had a friend kill four of them in oh about a minute and loot them, he nabbed close to 2k.

Meanwhile there I am playing in the hotel for about 5 yo make a lousy 170 creds.

Oh btw unarmed the chunker con white to me....so i might as well pick up a stupid gun and go kill them.

I guess there is no place for a pure entertainer........we and the medics are getting royally insulted.

Yea, these things are nuts. You get more money from the NPC gig missions!

Which may actually have been the plan.

For anyone who has no combat skills nor pets, best to just to Delivery Missions

k... I must be retarded then, 'cause I can't figure it out.. been playing for forever on the way point, and nada, I KNOW I'm doing something wrong.. but could someone tell me what is right?

My boyfriend and I started playing the game yesterday. He is a marksman/scout, I'm an entertainer. I got a mission from the entertainer terminal, started playing. He got a destroy mission, also from a terminal. Long before my mission was finished, he had finished his mission and was back in time. His reward was 600+ credits, mine was 130 or something. That's really unfair.

Starting Entertainer on Chilastra

hehe yes, one of the things i was hoping for was that the Gig missions high up was more rewarding, heck even be offworld, out in the wilderness at some camp, so you might have to go out to play the gig, but at least pay some more money for em. I don't mind going to a camp out in the wilderness on some exotic planet if the reward is good enough. Now the missions pay the same if they are in the cantina next to the mission terminals or in the city on the other side of the planet, where a ticket costs as much as the payment itself.

in the patch notes it said.
Missions: low end missions now pay less, high end missions pay more.
Hope that it's just for the normal missions, cause when a Difficulty 64 gig mission pays 160 creds i don't wanna know what a starting difficult 5 mission pays..

These are the missions that take you another city, yet theypay as much as the shuttle tickets.

So, They are USELSS NOW!

I urge musician here come together and ALL tell the Devs what a 'Good job' they did. It makes SO SENSE Shuttle ticket is more expensive than your reward! No sense!!!

Would you all please stop worry about unimportant issues like AFK macroing, and worry about VERY important matters like this, for once!

Thank You!

The last I checked the shuttle tickets are VERY expensive for some reason...

Sometimes it's only 115 crs, but today it was like 230s range (what the hell?)

ASK ANYONE, would it make much sense to make149 dollarson a 240 dollars trip??

Yup, we are once again chained to the Cantina floor. Anyways there are so many bugs now in our class that its almost comical. I really am enjoynig playing my Narg while sitting on the floor or standing to the left of it when someone starts the band. Flo 7 is hilarious when you pop into the airwith no narg in front of you. Makes for a lot of "You make me feel like I am dancing on a cloud" or "Hey! Look at the Musical Jedi" comments.Someone call the Union.

I agree, whata joke. The price of the shuttle fare is more than what the missions offer to far away cities. What's the incentive in that? At least make the missions equal to your music level.

If the shuttles are so expensive then don't take the shuttle. Do in-town missions. Musician missions take half the time that dance missions do. I really don't see what the fuss is about. You get two missions to the local cantina, play for a few minutes, step outside and get two more missons, rinse and repeat. Meanwhile, you're earning experience and doing the same stuff that you would have been doing if the mission terminal didn't exist. How can it get any easier than that?

I hesitantly logged on for a bit last night to try out some of the new stuff. I was already aware of a few things as I have a char on Test, that I am putting on hold, seeing as how there may be an incintive to actually play on Test soon, but this is besides the point.

I am dissapointed in the gig missions. I had invisioned a method of making money that was enjoyable to myself and might actually profit from. As is, the money is not worth my time to take any of the missions. I had really hoped I could lose my combat skills, but it appears I need to keep them for a bit longer.

I am very happy, that the missions were placed there. But they need to scale for us. I do not think it is right, as a few have already mentioned that a Master Musician / Dancer make the same as a rank novice entertainer.

Musicians and Dancers are like real world entertainers in my mind, where the ebst are sought out and compensated very well for thier time.

My suggestion is to leave the base price as is, but as you gain in the skill trees, it should raise the price that you are paid. But please, do not increase the length of time. A few of the missions I took, had me playing in deserted places, which is fine, but i do not want to be forced to play for over 15 minutes to make a few hundred creds. Oh, but about the pay, scale it so that we can make between 1500 - 3000 creds per missions at the top end.

The missions system was a huge step in the right directions and I /applaud the Devs

I just don't think it's worth it! I rather NOT waste my time,to find a mission that's In-town. Because it generates Randomly the chances are Very high, that many times it will give you a mission, requires travel!

Secondly, if it's 200 cr, hell no way I am going to go anywhere 300m+ to complete it.

The way (400-600 Crs) before the patch is Perfectly fine!

However, the real reason I am complaining is because I am DOING IT for you guys! I could care less for Entertainer gigs, like I said, I am a Rebel covert, hell, these deliver missions are so easy and pays TONS more!

What about you Entertainers ONLY do entertaining? I would say this is stupidest change ever made, I just trying to be reasonable here.

Comon, man, this IS the issue to be concerned about. You are all worrying about ridiculous issues like AFK macroing, not this.. truly baffling!
