Because it does not, apparently it adds the 10% to entertainer bf and mind wound healing, which is essentially useless.
If "Medical" city specialization adds to doctor buffs, entertainers (who are largely blown off) should get a bone.
Please consider this: it will make "entertainer district" a viable alternative to other specializations, and may add some great roleplay opportunities to create cities where entertainment is the main feature.
The devs have said that player city casinos are in the works (in concept at the very least); making this "entertainment district" specialization work on buffs will make it desirable for a very important group of characters, and will only add to the game if implemented.
Come on guys please sign it to help let Pappi know what you think; the Devs during the Stratics chat session the other day said they were gonna look at a list of things from her, i'd like to see this one on the list; it would seem to be an easy fix that would present no "imbalancing" to the game.

Also does that Medic specialization work?

Yes, doctor buffs are increased in a "medical" city; not just heals, doc buffs too.
No reason for entertainers to not get this; i mean, if they are nerfing looped macros to try and encourage more atk entertainers, than it seems they are thinking of things to try to help out the entertainers.
This, would help out the entertainers.
They could band up some and form cities that had the "entertainer district" specialty; the fact that players could get a better mind buff would attract people to the city.
It is a no brainer.

I think this idea will give some validation to the Entertainer professions...and about time too. I almost feel like we will fade away if something isn't done soon to make us more valuable in the combat professions eyes. Tired of feeling like a third class citizen in the galaxy.

Perhaps I don't know enough about this idea to voice an opinion yet - but that rarely stops me, eh Pappi?
In its present consideration It sounds viable for leveling entertainers,however for master dancers and musicians added xp is valueless. Unless there is a bonus to buffs by eitheradding extended time or increasing the power of the buffan entertainer districtwould probablybe little more than a novelty. AND ifit'screated to look like a red light district (as discussed by the devs during the beta era) I personally wouldn't step foot in it regardless of what cities host it.
If the district had terminals or other means to generate entertainer missions (gigs)that actually PAID something worthwhile, it might garner some more interest.

fine, mention my name while I'm gone for the week
the reason ent district doesn't affect ent buffing is because of the separate "musical/dancing mind enhancement" skill mod that is unrelated to how fast we can heal. donno if the devs would consider it, but they might worry about code complication with the wound/BF healing mods, especially with skill tapes and such. not a high priority item, maybe we can look into it after we get some bugs fixed.
