Runesabre,


In regards to timers/xp gain for non-master ID's... Why not wait untill after publish 10 to put these into effect? I know a few people who thought they would unlock their Jedi before the patch, and have ID left to do. This change has effectively made it so that if ID is required for them, they will not unlock their Jedi. 60+Hours added onto their grind is probably not the best thing to do to people right now, and trust me, I know many, many people who are very distraught because of this.


Anyway, thanks for your great work to improve ID (I like all the cool new features), but I really feel for my jedi-hopefull friends who are almost in tears now because this one simple change has probably ruined thier chance of becoming a jedi.







While I definitely agree, and most IDs agree that as it stands xp gain is way too slow and needs to be adjusted by either lowering the timers, granting you more xp, or giving you xp for each change you make, this is the worst excuse I have read for making a change. I'm all for adjusting the xp gain or removing the timers entirely, but not so more people can hologrind.


You do realize these changes were made specifically to stop the cheapening of this profession by high speed one day grinding. In fact, the Entertainer professions are among the ones most hurt, most impacted by hologrinders and the devs have stated repeatedly as of late that their goal is to stop afk macroing/grinding because it hurts the game.


Reduce the timers, remove the timers, boost the xp gain somehow, but do it because the profession needs it, not for the sake of people who don't even care about ID who just want to breeze through it and say goodbye so they can open up their Jedi slot. Right idea, wrong reason.

Nice steps, now get rid of the timer that isnt needed for masters. Cutting it in half is nice but it still forces me into that tent, I work from home as do many people. You can keep the timer in for Stat migration because i wont be visiting the tent to perform these unless its for a really good friend.


There is no need for a timer at all for Masters, with the new UI change and xp change there isnt a need for a timer period.

No. Thats why we had two features last friday. Most of them are at E3 and said they would not have time to be doing friday features.

This time reduction for master ID is going to hurt all those who have not master the profession yet. Who is going to want to use a ID that will make them wait, when they can find a master who can do it with zero wait. This really puts it to those who are allready hurt by the time delays.

Halleluyah brothah! lol. Thanks for the hair bug fix dudes, it's been forever now..and thanks for making Master ID actually WORTH having, besides a couple little colors too!


Think we can get brighter wookie palettes?


And while you fixing things..some info on lipcolor/ridgecolor/etc? is it doable? Easy? hard? A possible 'after the combat revamp' thing, or a 'lucas don't want any crow lookalikes, so no' kind of deal?



No I don't have a freakin sig. Just make something up and pretend it's here man. woman. umm...Whatever.

Hair Color Bug

The programmer who implemented the cool new Image Designer UI found and fixed the hair color bug! You will no longer need to relog your character to get your hair color to show up properly.



can you release the name of the prog who did it

we need to build a shrine for that guy

that over everything else is the greatest(and i love the patch)


well either way tell the prog he has my undying gratitude and if he plays swg and plays on wanderhome he has free id work for life)

Reducing MID's timer will just further decrease the useful-ness of a none-Master ID, because player will even less likely to utilize the skill of a novice IDdue tothe longer wait.


In turn, a novice ID will have to rely on self or a 2nd account to 'grind' through at least 120 hours of ID session, practically eliminating the "player interdependence" that you highly promote.

What I mean is... people unlocking before pub 10 ... it's going to be a lot harder now for the people to grind ID. They can always unlock after publish 10 in the new system, but who knows how hard that will be...
