on a scale from 1 -10 with 5 being an pre-publish ID, how much fun are you having?


For me it's a 7.5

Customers are very nice right now, and often in a line to get service. There are still bugs and I hate telling customers "No I can't do that" mainly about colors they want. But overall I'm having great fun!

For me.. id guess 2, but its not to do with the ID changes, just yesturday my tailor vendors were raided and i sold about 80 items of clothing, and 3 suits worth of fashion padded, was all day on custom orders and restocking. Im a bit of a perfectionist, if my vendors have 4000 + items yet are missing the grand ball gown in blue, I MUST REPLACE IT. So logging with a ton of vendor emails still at 2 am had me unhappy because i wanted to play with ID more, and felt like i couldnt.

But the ID changes themselves what i tested after the patch id say a strong 9, i still feel like there is 'something' missing. But all in all i love the changes, even the stat migration im happy with now (altho i had reservations i think its in the right place after listening to Rogue_5's answer)

I am seriously considering dropping ID for the first time. I've been one from the beginning in July, mastered in August. I give it a 2 right now.

I agree with Electro here, I HATE the change. I was excited when I first heard about the changes, body glitter, particle effects, new interface etc. but when I saw the actual changes.. blue, pink, purple, orange hair on Human/zabrak, pink, purple, green fur on wookiee/bothans I ran screaming the other way.


I don't want to play a stupid anime version of Star Wars. I got sick of UO and canceled because of everyone in their 'ice' colors and neon hair.


Keep it real Devs! This is the most unstar warsy thing you have done to the game.


DOWN WITH BLUE HAIR!

Hmm? You know the strange thing is, I have yet to have a customer ask for an wild color, except Twi'lek and they looks good and star warsy in wild colors. I have only seen a few and have a wild hair color myself, and maybe that is why no-one has asked for one afterthey seehow I look ? ?


I say give some time to see how the player base looks in a month or so.





But the question I'm trying to ask is not how happy you are with what we did and did not get, instead how much fun are you having doing the ID itself? to me the realtime customer/ID interaction has made a big improvement

Yes, with the exception of the 10 minute stat migration bug.

I'm going to go with a 5.5



The new colors and interface are nice, but the timer has completely ruined everything. The brown hair bug also still exists.

I would encourage a PM to Thunderheart:



TH,


Please consider enhancing the forums to provide a list of who rated a message and how many "stars" they gave.


Under "normal" circumstances, I would say an anonymous rating system is a good thing. However, at present there are any number of "one star bandits" floating about the forums, one-starring every post or nearly every post they find without giving the courtesy of a reason.


Now this might not be a problem, but as I understand things, the forum default is to *NOT* show posts with one star. If this is the case, users will be missing good / important content here just because one "retarded little troll" (sorry, my take on it) wants to be a **edit**.


If we were to be able to see who gave a post what rating, it might encourage people to be more accountable for the ratings they apply to posts. It would also probably keep worthwhile content on these forums available to readers by discouraging "one star bandits".


Thank you for your consideration.

Calls for removing the star rating altogether actually come up fairly often on the corr forum Brought up by corrs. We're often the brunt of one star attacks when someone doesn't like some decision made about the profession. Nevertheless the star system can be useful. For one starring things that contain things you wouldn't anyone subjected to seeing before the mods get to it (though GarVa says it takes ten one-stars for a post to not be visible to those who have one-stars not showing up) and five stars for someone you feel wrote an outstanding post, either in content (because you agree with them) or quality Perhaps a system where it would take more than one or two ratings before a one star or five star would kick in visually might work?

I'd give it an 8. My only problem is the timer for self-IDing and stats. I nearly pressure people into getting something else done with their stats so I have something to do.
