The new Entertainer Missions are a joke. We are given a choice of in town missions on the list for about 60 to 100 credits, that's not so bad, the joke is when they want you to go 10,000m away from the city for 111 credits, I have also seen them for 20,000m for 80 credits. Most Entertainers are of low hit points and don't last long when they encounter a melee mob. I know from experience, trying to make a run for a delivery mission. None of the missions are worth anything now. It isn't worth trying to get a group now to do regular missions because the split is so low when it's finished. I think all of the dancers and musicians should go on strike for a while until SOE realizes that we are a vital part of the game.

You are misunderstand the problem.

Don't tell me take 2 missions in town... That's Totally Irrevelant to what I am talking about

I am talking about the Gigs (like the one in Guild:Theater) that has you to Travel to another city (Via a shuttle price as much, or MORE expensive than the Gig itself)

It makes no sense what so ever...

BTW, I ain't talking to ya CoolKings

I am referring to those of you give us "Huh? What's the problem? It seems fine to me"

Regman,

Tell everyone in the Band/troupe to go get a gig too!!

Problem solved!

Well, obviously we are talking about two different things... or coming from different perspectives.

Yes I AM talking about the noble in the backstage area of the Guild, they used to give 400-600 range of mission payout, now only 100-.

You see, and I(we) already discuss the Shuttle/travel issue, many times.

The problem ISN'T what you are talking about (Mission Terminals mission) ... I understand that, but it's not revelant.

It's that things (like the issue I am talking about)in this game makes no sense to me!

JediMutantX3,

You ever get that feeling we are flogging a dead Narg?

I tip my hat to you sir, err Noble Crest or something (now don't get me started on those)

Maybe we are going the wrong way.

I have the answer!!!! OMG it is so simple it just might work. Let's make it so that while you play your credits slowly start to evaporate. Now hear me out on this. I see it now. This would stop the AFKers which people seem to be so upset about. Those AFK would come back to their screens with absolutely no credits whatsoever. OR we should have to pay to get the Gig missions. I mean they are a luxury, yes?

My god it just might work.

/sarcasm off

Am I interpreting this correctly?

You are mocking me?

Nah I am with you on it 100%

I just don't care anymore...nothing we are gonna say will make a difference anyway. Look they didn't even fix the bugs that they said they were going to fix.The /startband bug is a new one that i really find annoying but oh well. Really the forums are just a nice little place to let off steam since its been days and no Dev ever talks about anything.

Well to be fair no Dev on any game i ever played talks about anything. Who knows? Maybe they will change it, maybe not. I think its funny tho that they have correspondents on each board cause it gives the illusion that they are actually listening to us. No offence to the correspondent but I guess I will just play the game and kepe my mouth shut and just watch what they throw at us next. Who cares I guess.

Still think the missions are an insult to my two full skill pages, but whatever. I don't need money I guess. If they don't want musicians to have anything then we won't Who knows maybe we will all quit playing in cantinas one day but then again who cares? Fighters can get novice music and heal themselves.

Whatever SOE does is fine by me......its not like we have any other choice in the long run.

Oh well

200-400 credits per 15 minfor doing something I would allready be doing is GREAT!!!

Yeah, that wouldn't be too horrible Epidap. The problem is, that's not how much they give. They are all less than 200 credits, each and every one.

Also, the gig missions require a certain style of playing: you must play the same tune, without interruption, for about 10 or 15 minutes, depending on the tune. At least the two I timed last night took me 10-15 minutes, and I'm a Master Musician; I was playing Virtuoso both times, so decent XP was rolling in.

But I didn't perform the way I would have without the gig. Personally, I like to switch songs every 5 minutes or so, like a DJ. The gig makes me play the same tune too long. Also, I like to use my lights and stuffs; can't do that in a gig, because you risk running out of Action before the timer expires. OK, this may be a relatively minor complaint, but I offer it for what it's worth.

2 gigs at100-200(196) in 10 min (+5 min to get the gigs)= 200-400 aprox.

Both missions pay out at the same time.

I agree MORE would be nice. But the subject pissed me off. Asking for further nerfs is not what we need.

AND, It is still more than I make in tips most of the time!

It was No better than it used to... before the patch, when you goto the noble in the theater, it's like 400-600pay range,now 200-400 is All you get.

I mean why is that? Why do I get MORE money now than before on Rebel delivery missions, and not get the same amount for playing music?

The subject make sense, Epidap, because we talked before how it fares with Shuttle travel cost. It's ridiculous!

I don't think anyone is serious about Nerfing the Terminals either...there must be uses to it, even thoughit pays TOO little

Personally, I am glad I choosen Rebel faction, and doing the Rebel faction missions OR Artisan/Crafting mission (in those cities, without Rebel mission terminals) I don't need Musician mission anymore, it'san insult,screw it!

Ohkay JediMutant, You gust don't get it do you?

1.Nobles were allways a PITA!

2. You don't have to take a shuttle!!!!

It is MUCH better than before!

Here is why:

Befor: It could take 10-45 min just to get 2 gigs in the smae place from the Nobles!

Then you would have to DO 2 gigs, 1dance and 1 musician, Another 20min to the time

=Well over an hour for 2 gigs paying MAX 1200!

NOW, With the new gigs I can do up to 8 gigs an hour with a payout of no less than 800-1400 credits!

Do you see why it is better now?

I can make MORE Now Than Before as a Musician doing gigs!

I repeat: I, Me, Entertainers can make MORE per HOUR with the new gigs than before! You just have to think a bit on it.
