Edit: It looks like one new song is coming our way with the entertainer "audition" quests that are on Test Center. Note that these are *not* part of the Jedi or Force-Sensitive quests; those come in the main part of Publish 10, whereas our song is coming in minipublish 10.2 Also, the devs have hinted that we'll get one or more new songs in the Hutt Casino social "adventure," but that probably won't go live until some time after JTL.

If this really happens I will be very happy! Though I agree that new songs and dances is a nice to have, it doesn't fix the root problem for entertainers the galaxy over.

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.

Whoa! TH just posted that we will get new songs as rewards for the new entertainer quests! (My friend Odoro sent me a tell about this as I was jamming in Eisley; thanks Odoro.) TH writes:

We added new songs and dances as a reward for the quest. These new songs and dances can be acquired by Entertainers as well, but you will have to be an Elite Profession Dancer or Musician to use them. These new songs and dances needed some pretty intensive programming support. That programming work is going right now. The Entertainer Quests will be published to live sometime during Publish 10.

This is the first I've heard of this. Until now, I'd always been told new songs would appear with the Hutt casino. If this pans out, this is the best news for Musicians since launch. I'll try to find out more.
