Apparently an instrument is now considered a "prop" for Musiciansto the Devs.

Ok, Devs - toot away on starwars1 without an instrument. Ready? GO!

Well, come on - start playing. Let's hear it.

COME ON, PLAY.

Put your "prop" down, and PLAY. Let's hear it.

PUT DOWN THE PROP.

Play Starwars1. I'm still waiting, Devs.

Yay for dancers....but we seem to have to do more work to do what we could do in one line. I'm VERY disappointed. Also they nerfed our effects. No more 3 levels of effects. Dazzle just gives me the loopy one for example.

Are you sure about that? I did notice that the new effects only had one level, but I was able to successfully do all 3 levels of /firejet (the original /firejet, not the new /firejet2). I was satisfied with that test at the time, and thus did not test any of the other effects.

yes..the dancer ones work fine...but /dazzle /dazzle 1 /dazzle 2 were all the loopy dazzle. /firejet 1 didn't do anything...

I tested all the effects.

They all seem to work OK...well almost all OK.

As far as I could tell all music and dance effest from before work as before.
The new music Effects seem to work fine, however there is only one version of each.
The icon for "/firejet2" (not "/firejet 2") isn't active.
The new dance effects work MOSTLY ok.
/colorswirl will do nothing without a target. If nothing is targeted there is NO effect. To do on self you need to ctrl 1 target self.
Dancefloor is kinda cool and can be stacked so that you can have it going multiple times at once.
HOWEVER "/dancefloor" has now nerfed the emote "/dance", you can't even "/dance " with a space to do it.

Other things.....You can play instruments with dance props equipped. Playing a nal with double swords is freaky cool. Playing a horn with a sword in my head just hurts.

XP wise, they more than fixed the slow gain issue. Ok so double XP is still there, but I hit a 524/256 XP tick in a full group. Converting to normal that's 262/128 ( maybe a little higher as the inspire doesn't double I don't think). That's still very good XP. OK yes and that is at master, but all others are converted higher too.

The fact that they still Effed up the XP on the new song is VERY depressing. COME ON DEVS, fix this...and the ones you have live that are broken also.

Ahh well.....whether I told you soor not.....if you were reserving judgement or not...this is what we have to deal with and it really is depressing. Thanks Devs for nerfing a profession that already had little purpose.

Playing a mando with a sparkler is pretty sweet too! (When you can see it.)

Have you tried /dance. <--- note period/full stop there

That's what I use to make /rap work, now. They borked /rap with the CU, but /rap. works okay.

Too bad Musicians can't make props.

Even a freakin' microphone and speaker set would have been something. No, we get instruments...in a different skill branch! Wowee...hope they didn't stay up all night on that one.

For something like /dance you'll probably need to do "/social dance".

Understand I'm just asking this to make sure all the facts are here.. Sometimes it's easy to take something for granted... But...

What is your musician level?

Anybody have an MP3 of the new swing song?

No mp3, but i heard a bit of it, its not too bad actually

I Stil do not see any ability for musicians to craft working Speakers or a working mircophone. I mean come on,that should be a part of the Master skill! It looks to me that the Entertainer professionis on it's way downtube. The CU should havebeen a signto everybody that $OE just doesn't give a crap about Entertainers. Theres not even any reason ta keep hounding them ta do something for us. All they care about is the size of their big fat wallets and how much money is in them. I gave up playing the waiting game along time ago with waiting or $OE ta add some fun content for entertainers.
