"please ... please let the "Quests" for the new songs dont involve

I agree. I'm roleplaying a pacifist Master Entertainer andMaster Musician. I'm trying to get as much done in the game without harming another creature. To deny songs to players who desire to play the game peacefully would be wrong.

They've always billed them as "Entertainer Quests" so I really doubt any combat will be involved... it just wouldn't make sense...



Checking your spelling (and punctuation, too) will ensure that you're making sense to more than two people.

Oh, one thing's for sure - they CAN get it wrong. The question is,what are the chances that they'll get it right? I reckon it's about 50/50, but then again I must admit I'mfairlyoptimistic on this one.

The new song should be the reward for the "Theatre Manager" quests. These are up on TC with everything except the final reward. They do not involve combat, but are not, in my opinion, "exciting entertainer content".

Exciting entertainer content? Must be joking... unless you're just jumping up and down at your newbie helperdroid. I'm with Frag on this one.


Maybe the 'exciting' part was supposed to bethat we'll see a new song and a new dance.


Hope they work.

Yeah, let's hope the new dance will be better than the 'fixed' flourishes

Ah NewJedi, I used the http address and recieved a Message Not Found error, so this post made by TH has been deleted or moved. Is this still in the works for us?

Yes, it's still in the works, but now it appears that the quests will get us only one new song. I'm pretty sure the devs have recorded several other songs, and my guess is we'll see them appear in dribs and drabs over the next year.

Yes, I'm disappointed I wasn't told about this in advance. When the new buff came, I had inside word weeks in advance, and I was asked to test it with the devs on Test Center. SOE is clearly holding info more tightly now.


I disagree, though that this does "nothing" to fix what is "really wrong." My polling consistently shows that "new songs" is the top issue for more Musicians than any other issue. Sure, we are still plagued by AFK'ing, content and bugs. But most Musicians seem to think that our music is the most important thing for us, and more songs indirectly ameliorate other problems with the profession. As one dev once said to me, isongs makeour profession.


My concern about the new songs is that there probably won't be more than a handful, and I really think we need a repertoire of several dozen songs. I'd like so many songs that we can't possibly perform them all at one gig, requiring us to choose and take requests.






Yes, we do need new songs, but we also need some of them to be at the lower levels so we aren't stuck playing SW1, Rock, and SW2 95% of the time.
