Please note that we are pushing a tremendous amount of new code out to you, of which only a limited portion will be available until we launch JTL. There will likely be some issues with the ground game that we will need to fix. If you find any issues, please post them in our Ground Regressions Thread. We will also post a Known Issues list so you know we are aware of them.

Entertainer Quests

Entertainer quests have been added to all of the theaters in planetary cities. Entertainers, Dancers and Musicians can all participate in this quest by visiting the theaters and speaking with the theater manager NPC. By speaking with this NPC, Entertainers, Dancers and Musicians can sign up for an audition. Once players have passed the audition, the theater manager will extend an offer for a performance series. The performance series consists of three shows and three promotional campaigns.

When the time comes for a show to begin, audience members will enter the theater. The performing player will have an opportunity to speak to the audience to try and determine what type of music, dance, or flourishes they like, and what they dislike. When the show starts, the player will receive feedback indicating the audience reaction to the performance. Once players complete the all three shows to the satisfaction of the audience, the theater manager will reward them with a new song or dance (rewards are given for Musicians and Dancers. Entertainers may participate and earn the reward, but they will not be able to use it until they become Musicians or Dancers.)

Please stay tuned as we will updated these patch notes as needed.
