Dancers and other entertainers...

[xyryn]

I'm looking forward to the new stuff that has been promised for entertainers. Currently, I see no real use for us, and no way a newbie can keep body and soul together long enuff to get master dancer/musician. Tips are few for the females and fewer for the males.

There is the possiblity that the entertaining professions will become a bit thin of practitioners.

Maybe, if we developed a Geisha system...where the entertainer/dancer/musician has an altruistic (ha) Patron?

In the meantime, I'm resisting changing my icons for the flos. I'm trying to see how many songs the currently "dancing" icons will keep time with.

(Yes, I'm easily amused )

Not for long...they're removing all bouncing (broken) icons with the patch they're pushing today, I think.

I'd love that idea. I'm looking forward to the day when I find an Entertainer type that plays during my time and has a bit of combat to help chip away the enemy *and* keep my BF in check...in a CAMP! :-D

..I like Camps. Miss them.


Right now, the only steady Entertainer that is on with me is Iago Boom and that's cool but we're not always gonna be ready to group up together. I've been expanding my circle of contacts during the late late nights/early mornings and if my past track record is any indication, I'll soon know half the server that plays during my time .

Another thing, I like having Docs/Medics and Entertainers in the group because it adds another element to the challenge. We have to beat our enemies *while* keeping the strategic supporters alive. I like that challenge.

I'm ready to heal, usually...when I don't fall asleep waiting for ya on Dath at 3am, bro. lol

As for entertainers, Amadis and I have noticed a steady decline in them. What little we entertainers can do, will soon be spread over a smaller population. I dunno if this is a good sign, or not.

I will say this about the CU changes for entertainer...it is nice to be able to flourish as much as ya want without having to worry about your action going down.

[Ekade]

It kinda stinks that we can't all group together anymore.. with the 8 person group limit.

Now that it is gone.. I really miss the group invite I would get from Iago or Zyre upon walking into the room. It was like a warm and welcoming hug.

Side Note: How are you supposed to get more than 8 people into space on your multiplayer ship now?

Group invite now works for anybody standing by you whether in your group or not for boarding ships... When I went up to my ship the other night half the people in the lobby were listed even though I was grouped with one other person.

I also think based on Iago's experiment a couple weeks back, you can grab way more than 10 people for a ship ride now.

Iago's & Ka-Iv's experiment...and the max was 20 pre-CU...need a new experiment, sometime.

I wish I could remember where I read it. I think a group leader can click on another group leader and merge group chat.

[xyryn]

merge groupchats? How many groups at once?

Say there is a musician group and a dancer group...then add the group that is roleplaying with the TEMPL dancers, which includes a couple of businessmen...who are grouped with some smugglers, and one of the smugglers is grouped with TTF...which has a group link to an Imp who is grouped with a recon squad. And, well, we could easily group out to include the whole planet....now wouldn't that be FUN?!!!

I think I'm chasing a ghost. I *konw* I saw it. I just can't remember if it was live or if it was on a whis list.

If the follow the current pattern. There is going to be something like the raid group in WoW

[Curse]

Yeah, if you invite another group's leader to your group then group chat is merged. I haven't tried it but it sure sounds neat.

Now all they need is a raid interface like in EQLive and we're good.

Thanx Curse...The Kreetles will use this tonight.
