Ok its alot to take in, but I would love some feedback. I was bored at work tonight and could not pla SWG so I came up with this.

WOW!!!!! Excellent idea. Something like this would be very cool.

Fun idea! I still feel if they do do some sort of advanced music skill it should include the ability to register a cantina on the global map and include one vendor. Also since these are currently not availible the ability to do schematics for speakers, microphones and the furniture that is bar like that is not in game even if we cant actually craft them.

I have a feeling with the player cities you will get the microphones, speakers, and such added to the architech line.

Not a bad idea... I would certainly do it, although I'd have to give up my Pistoleer skills

not a bad idea for one of the elite-elite professions. Although needs some finetuning, i like the gist

no if only theyd add more skill pts for it

yeah NANOOK this would end up being an enatertainer style only class.

Definitely some interesting stuff in there. However with the Skill point cap I would perfer seeing new stuff added into the musician or entertainer(mostly ME) skill trees rather than the creation of an elite-elite class. Personally I hope with the devs backing away from City Planner as part of player cities it signaled the end of the idea of elite-elite skill trees.

Also there are a couple of things included in there that I can't say I care for at all. The Idea of NPC band members seems problematic at best. (I'm Not saying that they might not be fun) Another full branch of skills dedicated to healing seems pretty excessive. By the time someone is at master musician the healing rate is really fast anyway and the new version of the mind buffs seems to be pretty good already.

yeah the only reason healing is in there is due to the fact I was trying my best to do this like SOE would. they seem to be all over the healing and entertainers going hand and hand.

I don't know, I don't think the NPC band would take away at all from anyone else, it would just add some style. I mean imagine like the vendor NPC's.

You could have a "Hammer head" playing the Fizz. Or one of Max Rebo's people playing the omni box! I mean tell me one musican that would not love that!

I dig this

But, but, I got no apprentice points!!!!!

Great ideas tho!

/mood Dreamy

Hmmmmmmmm yummy Idea Bluesman

Love Draclua

sleep I think your not so correct right now. Dude this is a GREAT idea. NewJedi what do you think. I think this is really great. I would definatly give up master medic to do this. Very cool. And I dont think that City planner was the dropping of the elite-elite prof. I think they realizes there was no need for it. This actually fills a space in the game right now. (there is nothing for band leaders)

I do think that MD and MM should be able to branch this one... I am not so sure about ME. I also agree with the whole healling thing being overkill. Great idea. Instead of healing new dances. That would incorp both music and dance very well. Man I LOVE this idea. We definately need more music and dances and I think this would be a great original way to do that.

I like the sign idea that was cool... Have I said I like this idea. I am very curious to see what you this NewJedi. Dude this is a Great idea.

Just my 2 note... I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!

Brog

but Imbroglio.... do you like it? lol

I have acutaley almost fineshed a revison of this with the feedback I got here. Will try and post it latter tonight if one wants me to.

And Drac'... love ya hun!
