Entertainers?

Post by Oswald3 »

Could there maybe an option for boosting food attributes like feasting by a bonfires?... My proposal for this is that when there is one or more instrument being played in a vicinity and you eat by it, it boosts the effect of the food. Historically there would be entertainers in a court and they would often play music during the meal. Also, some evening music would be sweet if it had a benefit!

Theoretically a charming suggestion, but in reality, unless the game can tell "music" and "pressing the same key over and over with an instrument equipped" apart, the roleplaying and ambiance of the idea loses most of it's value.

That is an excellent point. I suppose that it would be a challenge for the coders to develop a way to recognize an actual song.

Add different songs for different occasions.
If you play this song with no mistakes you give a FEP boost to your feast participants. Could be any song easy or hard.
Can add harder songs for better buffs. Can even expand this into work songs that speed up your or your friends mining/farming.
Then I can be useful being a slacker.

It wont have infinite variety as OP in songs but it works around the problem having to recognize a song.

This would just make song-playing bots with muted sound mandatory to compete with other players.

i think that a solution to over usage of this problem would be that it uses up stamina and/or has a cool down.

That is also true for farming and many other in game actions. Maybe someone smarter than me can make this system bot proof.
