Only started today with the new buffs.


You can start watching, but then you stop right away, then you get a message saying that you are to far away and stop watching.


I have logged the Entertainer, the customer has logged, stood right on top of each other, no luck at all.


Known issue? Didn't see it listed, is there a work around?

I got on Live today, and I noticed those messages early in the evening. Significantly later (probably at least an hour) I happened to try to listen again, and at that point there were no problems. Maybe there's some *severe* delay with what the server thinks our position is in terms of entertainer distance or something. Do people have any more observations about this so I have the most details possible to bring to the devs about the bug?

I got the message when I first tried a watch, but I tried again a few seconds later and everything worked fine...

I was playing in my player cantina (the blue banana) in Stargate on Wanderhome - NO ONE could listen to me even if they were standing right on top of me they got the message that they were too far away.


When I played in the Theed Cantina they could listen to me just fine. I think they borked player cantinas.

I also tried in houses and a cloner, I got the same thing.


If you keep trying over and over and over, it will eventually work.


It's probably more complex then having to be within say 10 meters, yet the server thinks you are within 12. Some people can listen from anywhere in the cantina, some only 2 meters, other never can. I run multiple computers with multiple accounts, quite often, I can see an offset of where you actually are due to where the server thinks you are. Sometimes that is pretty big.


I checked all the computers and the toons trying to listen were very close (if not on top of,) the Entertainer.


Grouping, set perform, sitting, nothing would work.

Well, as the Devs have said repeatedly, "Entertainers are not in the scope of the CU."


They broke other Entertainer stuff in the CU (group size, xp gain, the useless enhancement branch), and haven't done a thing. I'm highly doubtful they'll bother with this.


*sigh*


Great way to be treated, isn't it?

This was happening before the CU as well - I would bring my alt on and /listen habanero;/watch (a dancer) and half the time get the too far away messages but if I re-executed the commands it worked. Up until now I had presumed it was lag on my own machine.


However this morning it was happening to others as well.


People were able to work around the problem by moving around until they found a spot that was happy.


This was in Coronet Cantina on Wabderhome, so the issue is not limited to Player Cantinas.
