This could have interestingimpacts on my guild hunt night. I'm our lead tank / trailblazer so it'll be nice to be able to stand out better.
No more "Which guy in composite is Leman?"

I don't get it ... the remove things such as the "Holster emote" and "Harvester animations" ...
Then they say "We can not make it so that you can go from Starport X to whatever Starport because it kills immersion", But floating pink kitties above everyones head is perfectly acceptable and immersive?
Call me stupid or whiney or whatever but I really can't see the reason to these 'magical ghost images'.
Sure, they look awsome and I'm very impressed by 'em ... but wouldn't it be a little better with more things that actually are image designing?
OOOoooooooo, see now that is constructive. Seriously, I agree completely and would like to sign up for your newsletter 
I want starport to starport travel with no wait time and a fluffy bunny hovering satanically over my head.
It's the future, its possible

Oh my god! The devs finally add something to make the ID profession more interesting, and make the majority of players happy, with a really cool new feature, and people complain! It's not your game, its your time. Don't like it? Just type in your password, account manegment, CANCEL. I for one can't wait, finally IDs will have more respect, and if the ID tent and ID pad thing (looks like cloning centers') let you image design yourself or something, it will make getting your favourite look a LOT easier!

Jeez lord help us if they put something in for fun.
If ya dont like the emotes...fine dont use them, its just that simple. I personally think it'll be fun to play around with in a cantina setting. Its just something that's added in for fun, this whole argument (this isn't star warsy!) is BS, if thats the case hell take out every profession except BH, Smuggler, Jedi, and combat classes. Since we dont see armorsmiths in SW or Bio engineers, or artisans.
The whole point of this ID thing is just something for for image designers to play around with, since some people like playing around with stuff in a social setting... everything doesn't HAVE to revolve around combat or somehow tying into the whole "star warsy" mentality...if that was the case make this game all about combat. since thats the only thing i ever saw in SW...constant fighting.

Ok this might turn into a rambling rant but after reading mostly every post on this a few things need to be said..*stands on his soapbox*
1) The dev started this thread with "Welcome to sneak preview of one of this week’s Friday Feature" which means it's part of the patch not THE ENTIRE PATCH..
Response: Of course it's not the entire patch....but it makes my stomach turn knowing it's even a small part of the patch
2) Does anyone know the context of the emotes? Is it just going to be a /holohellokitty, for the pink kitties? If so, then I guess it's up to the character to ROLE PLAY out the 'reason' for the effect...Latest 'fashion trend' from the cantina? New "Look at me I'm an entertainer' necklace? Heck even "Loot at me dood, I'm a leet holoskull dood!" while weak in RP still 'works'
Response: Right.......thats so cool.....
3) Has anyone bothered to think there was another reason for this 'un starwarsy' (wretches) display? Testing for future code effects? New Entertainer effects? More cool droid thingys? Who knows, and apparently no one has thought beyond the "OMG that's stupid, that's un starwarsy!" when in actuallity ONE person and only ONE can make that determination (We all know who THAT is)
Response: Don't fool yourself...They have a test server..test graphic engines...and if they wanted to "Test" effects they could have thought of a much better way to implement a test that didn't belong in my daughters Barney Game.
4) Duck (and other 'ducklings') you cannot have a mmorpg if you are putting it in the contrains of "Well it's not in the movies/books it shouldnt be in the game" heck, since when did you see a Average Joe Stormtrooper who could run circles around a rebel, dodge laser blasts, shooting (and HITTING) every shot, then kneeling to shoot, jumping up and runnin away again while shooting OVER HIS SHOULDER with 80+% hit ratio? If ANYTHING is unstarwarsy that is
Response: GOOD POINT! Which is kinda why were upset that Joe Stormtrooper has taken nearly a year of patches and can still do stupid stuff. Meanwhile, we can now have bubbles on our heads......

SWEET! A whole new level of LAG as 50 kids spam that **edit** in theed all day long!! Just what SWG needs!!
Screw fixing base times migrating, finding a solution to GTEFing, or fixing all the damn lame exploits and bugs (like say buged base times and terminals) we'll just say we fixed them, leave um broke, and make SWG lag more with some stupid holo emotes!! GREAT IDEA!

Well, that's a self-contradictory post. If the tents and pads let you ID yourself (which they won't) it would totally invalidate our profession, not give it more respect. That aside, there are those of us in opposition to these changes not because of any external factor, but because of our passion about the profession, and about immersion in general. I feel these holo-motes are not immersive, and further, I feel that they're not something the majority of players wanted—they may be well recieved, but I would still much rather the time have been spent on tattoos, one of our longest-standing requests. Even just 1 more hairstyle for each species/gender would have made me happier than this.
Once again, a breakdown in communications of what exactly these particle effects were going to be has caused a huge controversy. I respectfully request that in the future these proposed changes be better-explained so that meaningful community input can be generated.

Ohhhh my GOD! Star Wars: Galaxies - Livin' it up.
On my game box it say +12 years old...is it wrong? Maby it is +5 years or something?
I haven't played this game for so long but every week I see this game going down. First I buy this game to become a Jedi. Then when I'm at my 3 Holo the Holo thing is going to be taken away. So now I do nothing. Very, very, very boring.
Then they take away the shuttle-repair-your-bike thing and what you get is a bug when you repair your bikes as they whant you to reapir it. Thanks alot. And now you get this. What on earth is this? Bubbles and a flying cat? Did you guys take some drugs when you made this?
I hope you NOT patch this. And I hope people quit this game when WOW is out so you guys know what you have done. Shame on you!

This is just wonderful.... First of all, there are so many negative reaction based on some still screenshots. Nobody knows what these look like in the game. The effects from the entertainer droids also look bad when they are only stills. Second, these are *temporary* effects, not permanent. Except maybe the first few days, you aren't likely to see everyone wearing these! I don't see people going out and getting holo-emotes so that they can go out and kill rancors. More likely you will see them at parties and in the cantinas, where they are perfectly appropriate. Third, this is *part* of the ID mini-publish! We also finally get a new interface that will make our job easier and has secure payment, new hair colors, new skin colors, etc. If I see a note from the devs telling me that they have cancelled the ID mini-publush due to popular demand and I get *nothing* I am going to be very unhappy. The fact is that they did the mini-publish in a way that they added things that weren't going to take over the time of the entire art department. Hair, beards and things like that take a *lot* more time and that is time that is spent on things like Jump to Lightspeed. Anyway, will people *please* calm down and see how this works out? I promise in return that I won't scream to remove the uber-1337 Madolorian armor before it is put into the game.
