Wow...poor entertainers.


The Devs really have no idea what they are doing, do they? I mean, I've known this for a while. Just...stating the obvious.


While I agree with adding things to entertainers to actually make them entertaining, I don't think that should cause them to lose usefullness. Always add content and player interaction in a massively multiplayer game...never remove it.

I really didnt see that one coming - I do remember my good old mother telling me something when i was a wee ladd about "If it ain't broke dont fix it." kinda thing. And another thing I seem to vaguely remember was "Give the smugglers game content" but I guess not everyone has her wisdom.

Wow! That is messed up. Poor, f*cking entertainers. I wonder what will keep people coming to the cantinas.

Wow! The devs really like to treat those poor entertainers like Tiny's new cell mate. I remember the cantinas before the dark times, before the jedi. They were the social hub, but when the holocrons were given away people left the cantinas in droves to grind. When this change hits live thats the day the music will die.

Got mixed feelings on this one.


I know that this should suck for entertainers but I also know that I do not personally go to see an entertainer for my BF. I see them to get buffed. I actually stopped paying all that much attention to my BF the minute I hit numbers of 800+ with JTL.


All and still, there really are some cool things that can be done with entertainers and I hope we see that soon.

Unfortunately, JFreeman is busy now orchestrating the big Pie Nerf of '05.

to those "ain't broke" folks above:

BF is really pretty broke as I see it... something had to have been done to either make BF happen *more* and matter *more* or just drop it (and ent healing xp with it).

The only time recently I've gotten a build up of BF that mattered is either space deaths or the occationall uncloned death. Never from really fighting any more. And even with BF, who really care post CU? The only time anyone relly noticed it was because at 250+ they'd cause a drop in buff stats, but otherwise it wasn't a really useful game mechanic.
