Thread: Publish 8 Mini Publish Testing Feedback: Image Designer Revamp
· Image Designer Tents: The new Image Designer tents located in Theed, Moenia, Coronet, Bestine and Vreni Island are now active. These locations are where players will go for Stat Migration and Image Design.ffice

· Stat Migration: Image Designers now have the sole ability to migrate player stats faster than the previous default migration rates. The process will take 10 minutes and requires the Image Modification Booth located inside the ID tents. This functionality has been revoked from the general player base and now requires an Image Designer.
· Image Modification Booth: Image Designer booths grant the ability to facilitate the new stat migration aspect of the profession and reduces the amount of time needed to perform an ID change in half.
· Holo Emotes: A new type of "holo emote" particle effects have been added to the game. Image Designers will sell these limited use, special use emotes to players. There are 16 unique holo-emotes that represent a "holographic" image for a short period of time.
· Increased Colors for all Palettes: Hair color, Skin/Fur Color, Lip Color, Cosmetics, Eye Color, Markings and the existing tattoos will all have new colors added to their current palette choices.
· Price Information on UI: During the Image Modification session, the Image Designer and client can now agree to a price for the displayed design changes. Only upon selecting the confirm button for the Image Designer's changes in the "after" window will the client be billed.
· Configurable Views: The Image Designers will have complete control for panning or zooming in to their work for detailed views.
· Dynamic, Real-Time Updating to Clients Interface: The image designers and their client's interface windows will be linked and dynamically synchronized. Both players will see the “before” and “after” images as it is happening.
· Image Designer Bug Fixes: Changing a client's hair style from bald can now be undone, eye shapes and eye angles now alter the proper areas, and ID's have the ability to change all male freckles. (i.e. zabrak and twi’lek).
Note: Players can no longer do their own stat migration, please consult an Image Designer for pricing.
TH
Can someone tell us exactly how the holomotes are executed?
do we use a /command such as '/holoEmote' or '/emoteSkull' ?
thanks

This is a little confusing. Is the enhancement that only IDs have the ability to migrate player stats? Or is it that ID's now have the ability to migrate them Faster than normal?

but removing players' abilities to generate content for Image Designers is okay?
Real nice.

You guys just don't get it, do you? Let me spell it out for you: There are two ways of getting people to doing things, The Stick and The Carrot. You have to know when to use both properly. You guys seem to think that the only way to do something is to put out a carrot and then whack the players on the head with the stick. The stick creates resentment and anger. The carrot creates contentment and happiness.
There was NO REASON to use the stick here, instant stat migration was enough of a boon to make IDs valuable for many people.
It's like you guys just don't know how to NOT take things one step too far.
