1) Time to Buff

This is ridiculuous. NOBODY likes wasting more than 1 minute waiting for a buff to get applied. This is the biggest of all problems in my opinion. Make the 30-second speedbuff permanent. It's what the customers want, it's what we want.




Do not speak for me, thank you very much. I do not do the 30 second speed buff. I do not do the 3 minute speed buff. Like, oh my god, gasp, I do the buff in the time it was MEANT to take. I refuse to macro,I never will macro, and I will be pissed if they force a macro to buff. No other profession needs a forced macro. We don't either, thanks.

I think it is extremely important that the bug that shows cantinas as manned when no one is in them be fixed! The way it is now, its pointless to registor as it means nothing. How can I possibly get business in my only manned cantina when every empty catina on the planets shows up as manned also. Give those who actually are providing a server a chance and fix this bug. I have no idea how long it will take for people to even regain confidence and actually use this tool again as it has been made useless for so long.

I'll just make a quick list to reiterate some of the opinions I agree with. They have already been explained, so I won't go into much detail.


1) Enable self buffs


2) Enable a buff-meter so I can tell if I am buffing and when the buff finishes


3) More variance in instument types (to include a Mandoviol-type instrument in Musician tree)


4) Fix any entertainment venues that don't work


5) Better payouts from Entertainment Mission Terminals

NPC Band Members as you go up the Tech Tree. At Master would have 4 NPC Band Members that play along with you.



this is a great idea! i totally agree! and it would be sooo sweet to maybe have a couple customizable twilek dancers along with a kloohorn and a sax player to go with the lead instrument!


oh as far as new instruments go, i would like to see an actual piano, the nally is cool and all, but a piano or a pipe organ would just rock!

1. Mandoviol for master musician-best instrument in the game and i had to waste an entire skill tree on a profession i will never use to get it!!


2. More songs and effects-more songs with patches similar to the narlagon playing virtuoso or the mandoviol playing starwars1, the horn patches are really bad and sound like lame midi.


3. Entertainer quests and missions that are actually worth doing!


4. More content to encourage bands that play something other than Starwars1, maybe a buff that can only be given by an entire entertainer group that uses higher level songs.


5. Let musicians buff from the outdoor Narlagons and bandfills. would be a great way to make money.

FYI, everyone, TH has asked me to submit our current Top Five Issues by the end of next week. So please add them to this thread, if you haven't done so already. If you want to amend any of your earlier posts, feel free to do so. I'll be tallying up the votes this coming Wednesday, April 7.

1. better band control: song macro preview's so you can write bandflo's that you can hear with dif combos... this would add content as well... band bow's band techs ect ect anything and everything to give a band more control over their performance


2. afking ... course u new that


3. holo recordings may be fun... for use in a juke box at first for just music in houses and merchants ect not healing/ buffing ... test one then do the other


4. instrament specialization for colorign them ect


5. get the content in before the 1 year aniversery...

1) Nalargon/Ommni Box targeting issue

2) Lack of post-master content (songs, abilities, what have you)

3) AFK'tainers

4) Would love the ability to *WALK* and play at the same time, schmooze your way around a cantina.

5) Sound/speech propagation issues (in NPC-city theatres you can only read people's speech/hear music/watch dances from only about halfway deep in the seats)

I've been reading the want list since you've been asked to submit it NewJedi....here's hoping that TH is listening:


1. Self buffing


2. BF healing in Camps


3. Ability to /diagnose and see results of buff on client.


4. Entertainer missions that result in special loot and better payout.


5. Make instrument crafting abilities equal to those of other elite crafting professions for 'enhancements' , quality and experimentation.

1. Each instrument should have a unique sound


2. The annoying pause between verses on the bandfill and omni-box


3. I'd love the ability to tie the special effects into the flourishes, so that they play at the exact same time. And maybe lengthen the special effects so they last a little longer. And, of course, addmore special effects


4. I'd like a /BandPauseMusic (instrument) command, similar to the /bandFlourish (instrument) command. This would help a great deal in creating a song macro for an entire band, complete with solos


5. Something similar to medical droid, which would let me mind buff outside of a cantina or camp.

Here's an idea; Make AFKers TEF -able! Then we can beat em down while they dont even know it! HAHAHAHA!


.....being serious:


1. AFKers: GEt rid of them! Just somehow do it! Make AFK people unable to say/do anything. ALSO to stop ninja AFKing, if the keyboard isnt touched for 5 minutes or something, they are auto AFK. Just random ideas


2. Like my other post, New Stuff. You know what we want. Plus you said you want a lot of the game straight fixed before Space Expansion. Well, get us new stuff then


3. Ommni/Nalargon Issues: not having to be targeted, people moving it,maybe even make it change sizes for your avatar(like those people complaining about it being "not fit" for bothans)


4. Buffing: Too long! Cant buff ourselves! Why?!?!


5. Missions: I like how you Devs are adding the Theme Park, but these regular missions....well, suck. We need more RPable-cheaptodo-goodpaying-fun missions.


6. The Cantina and Theater:


A. PC Cantina: Doing fine, but maybe get some more cool stuff for cantinas only


B. Regular Cantina: Please make some of these a little different. The coolest one is probably the Mos Eisly cantina, because it has all the neat stuff. Make some of them different and add cool stuff like NPC Bartenders, and social NPCs you can befriend and fight with (sorta like a time-limited pet) or NPCs you can get into bar fights with


C. PC Theaters: These arent too good. We need to be able to place stuff on the stage, and on the seating area, etc.


D. Regular Theaters: These are AWESOME! Maybe turn these into PC theaters, or make these "rentable" where you can place stuff and ban people(our last event here, there were a couple jerks yet we couldnt do a thing about it.



Thanks......

1. Like most posters stated, more variation in instrument sounds


2. new songs


3. AFKers


4. Selfbuffing, the reason the devs didnt make musicians and dancers self buffable, while doctors can is that doctors need to have a lot of resouces, a crafting tool time and the crafting to apply buffs. Master D. and Master M. only need time as a basis for buffing, this is exploitable if you could buff yourself with only time as a cost factor.


5. I would state social adventures, but they are coming, so I would like to see some "singing" skill at Master Musician lvl
