An entertainer mission where an npc with a unique name approaches and watches/listens
Their name is a hint as to what inspiration to give:
A clumsy brawler - needs melee accuracy.
A greenhorn - needs flush with success
A resource tycoon - needs harvest faire
And many others.
Once enough time passes, the npc becomes ready for buff. Apply the correct buff package according to their name, and you complete the mission. Give them the wrong buff, and you fail. Perhaps your credit reward is reduced or not given.
You can have rare npcs that have trickier clues and give higher payouts.
All the names and requirements are random to prohibit afk players being able to complete the missions.
There are no system messages being added to an already busy chat tab.
It does not interfere with custom performances and real player interactions.
It accomplishes the intent of the chsnge while providing something more interesting to the player and also keeping the ui clean.
Please don't assume I'm not reading the PV. I've been reading the social-senate, dms, and PVs every day since the patch launched.i feel like this would be too annoying to code, plus the cantinas would be swamped with npcs. The flourish mini game needs to be re evaluated and changed, i'm honestly disappointed that the social senator is not in this thread with some thoughts so we can work toward a change. lower the payouts, lower the fail threshold, or lower the amount of flourishes or some combo thereof. the current change is not the answer for those that actually play an entertainer. People dont really tip like they use to since a senator stated that we dont deserve tips even for ATK ents. It really feels like only certain proffs get positive changes while the rest get the fecal matter hose in the face.
I cleaned the original post up and updated any progress so far. Hopefully it will be revisited. ThanksPlease don't assume I'm not reading the PV. I've been reading the social-senate, dms, and PVs every day since the patch launched.
Please don't assume my own opinion on this matter, and use false equivalencies/hyperbole to put words in my mouth.
The reason I'm not suggesting new ideas is because the point of a PV is to discuss what the idea of the PV is prior to posting it, then make the post with a clear coherent plan.
That idea is then discussed and implemented or not.
My honest advice for this PV at this stage is to start over, make one clear post on what you'd like so that can be discussed.
If you want my advice on making a PV you're welcome to ask me. But after you've flat out insulted me, please don't expect a reply.
I won't be sponsoring this thread. Thanks.
I am sorry for what ever it is you're going through in real life that would cause you to extrapolate an insult out of me saying I am disappointed that you have yet to chime in publicly on a topic. An insult would have been worded much stronger than that. The only thing you have said in the social senate channel is thanks for your feedback, kinda placating to be honest. Its weird to me that the level of elite pearl clutching hubris by "leadership" on this server is so high. Also this isn't even my post so don't punish the OP because you think I insulted you.Please don't assume I'm not reading the PV.

I've been reading the Senate-Social & Entertainer Discord channels as well as this Player Voice thread. I would very much like to know who said this.... a senator stated that we dont deserve tips even for ATK ents...
The droid functionality/repair mini game they added is great. Its a popup with multiple choices and a hint system.I've been reading the Senate-Social & Entertainer Discord channels as well as this Player Voice thread. I would very much like to know who said this.
What constructive ideas/suggestions do YOU have to improve things? I've seen nothing but complaints.
I agree that a pop-up type window would be more engaging than the system messages, but I also do not know what kind of behind the scenes development would be necessary.
that statement was actually toward Grewik just to be clear, Because he went on a whole long rant about not tipping entertainers during the last election cycle, you guys need to really calm down.I've been reading the Senate-Social & Entertainer Discord channels as well as this Player Voice thread. I would very much like to know who said this.

I guess these are not options?I've been reading the Senate-Social & Entertainer Discord channels as well as this Player Voice thread. I would very much like to know who said this.

Hey manI guess these are not options?

Since you wanted to cherry pick what i said to find offense.
Think you've got a neat idea here. It feels true to the spirit of entertaining.An entertainer mission where an npc with a unique name approaches and watches/listens

well if you would have read my original post i never mentioned you, until Rinna asked. tbh its not my fault that people are taking this personally. All of the factors play into the larger picture of why so many people were just doing missions and doing them afk.Hey man
I appreciate you don't like my stance on tipping ents and I understand that but PVs are not really the place to vent this kinda frustration toward any party.
Just stay on topic and be objective on the post please and feel free to flame me on discord as much as you like
Don't have much else to add to the PV but if you guys have some positive ideas for the current system feel free to make a new one that's less cluttered and I'm sure it will be given a fair and objective viewing![]()
