I just succeeded at Mission FIVE!!!


An NPC audience spawned (larger than the one that spawns for mission III).

I got system messages saying 120 seconds... 60 seconds... etc. (this one only gives you 120 seconds to speak with the audience)


The NPC audience give you hints as to what to do! I am doing the music version and some of them request dances.... /bugged


I did not start playing until the system message told me to and I still succeeded... I got over 250 rating...


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


I got 1500 reward.....


going to try Mission SIX!!

I failed mission SIX SEVEN...


The NPC audience will tell you which flourish they want to see and which song/dance they want to hear/see, but it appears to be a bit bugged because I am doing the music version and some of the NPCs are requesting dances.... none of them are requesting songs.... plus some of them don't spawn until after the timer to start is up....



p.s. I did not start playing music until the 60 second timer was up... (only 60 seconds this time)....... I achieved Audience Satisfaction of 396.

you are correct


you can use /conv to talk to the audience from the stage... it's a bit laggy on TC2 and it's hard to see what they are saying cuz there are so many of them :S


yeah, the advertisement is lame... but the TM did say that the 30 one would be the last one.........................

So OK....do I suck or what.


I tried #5 again...twice.


And these two times I listened to the audience and tried to weight my show.


Iscored LOWER on these last 2 than ever before. Granted they told me dances they wanted to see or not see and only told me 1 flo they wanted to see and NOTHING re: songs. I did better doing random shows than this. I even passed it once before the audiences showed up.


What gives.

Theater Manager Quest - Mission SEVEN - FAILURE


I am doing music version.


Some of the NPC audience still request dances eventhough I am doing the music version... they should request songs.


Something big was changed since 24 hours ago... I tried this and got Audience Satisfaction of 396 , but this time (doing the same thing as last time) I got Audience Satisfaction of -95! (negative 95)


I'm thinking it has something to do with the audience wanting to see a dance when they should be wanting to hear a song.

Succeeded Mission Seven with a audience ranking of 512 on Music on TC1.


Had no problems with audience asking for dances. Most were junk though (very funny comments about tipping doctors and afk dancers but no help!). Got told three songs only. Swapped between the three and did non-stop flourishes (had a small buff to help). Remember that the converse radial menu doesn't work from the stage, but the /conversationStart command line does work. The audience appears in waves so be careful you get the late comers.


Now for the bad news. The rewards haven't been coded in yet. This is the final message as of tonight: "[TESTING] A winnar is yuo!" "Reward test and items to be implemented soon."


So we still don't know what we are going to get.

"First of all, there is a lot of new Entertainer quests that are on Test Center currently which are very exciting."


Yeah, they're positively THRILLING! I must run out as soon as they go live and do them. I ought to make at least 2000 credits. That'll REALLY make my day. Maybe I'll be able to buy a big house and retire. And the content of those quests is breathtaking! I mean the thought that must have gone into the idea of doing an audition! It just shows the incrediblecreativity and imagination of the developers. I mean I have entertained since August last year, and I'm just amazed that I never came up with the idea of an audition for a cantina owner. I thought that it would be nice to have special quests just for master entertainers. I thought that raising mission payments would be good. Heck, I eventhought of entertaining to gain access to Jabba's palace. I mean that would have been good, but to get an audition from some petty cantina manager - and getting nothing but a couple of grand in credits out of it- well, that's FAR better.


Forgive my exhuberance. I am just all a-quiver at these news.

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.


- Sir Winston Churchill


We made progress with these quests! There may be a long way to go but just relax for a bit, we took an important step getting some attention and they still haven't finished with this yet! We DO NOT know what the reward will be for completion of the quest. Even if it turns out to be less than spectacular it is progress up the hill and the Hutt's casino is on the horizon.


The entertainer professions are vital to this game, once the hologrinders leave and the combat nerf (err.. balance) arrives we will again see people in cantina's needing our help and care to get through their fights.


More steps up the hill guys and gals so, in good British tradition, chin up and best foot forward.

Theater Manager Quest - Mission SEVEN - SUCCESS! - TC2

I am doing the music version.

I achieved an audience satisfaction rating of 398+


I did not loose any rating during my performance this time.

Some of the NPC audience still request dances when I talk to them... they should request songs instead, since I am doing the music version and not the dance version.

Reward text and items have not been implemented yet.

FYI - The Theater Manager was not pushed live. I guess it will officially be patched in 9.X.
