I'd say an 8. I love the interface. I love the colors. I'm definitely having more fun than I did before. Most of my stat migrations have been fun because I advertise that I include an ID change or a holoemote in the price and that makes it go quicker. Only had a couple non-talkers out of the 15-20 stat migrations I've done. I've even had a lot of people stay in the group and keep chatting after they leave.

For the customers, I give it a 10!

For me... 1... I hate it!

The timer ruins everthing.

9 I am having loads of fun. The new interface makes conversations between me and my clients much more fluid and natural than before. It's brilliant. Even the annoying timer is useful in the sense that it prompts both me and my client to explore other possible changes while we are waiting for the initial request (which normally takes much less time) to complete. Then of course there is a huge list of things I would want added or amended just like everyone else... but that's beside the point really. I am having fun!

And the weight slider works as it should for females now That alone is reason to celebrate the mini-publish!
Thank you Devs and Kwee

I'd say a 9. I'm actually having a lot of fun. It's nice to finally feel needed. I have a lot more customers, and for the first time have had a line for my services. Plus, tents have kinda added more of a sense of community. I've never met so many IDers inthe entire time I've played the game. It's not only a place to do ID changes but exchange advice with other IDers. It's kinda cool.


I kinda like that they added some sort of timer. The fact that ID could me mastered before in less than 2 hours was really fast. I'll admit, I grinded it out really quickly and got it that way myself. But I imagine that after the patch, if there wasn't a timer and it still only took 2 hours to master, there would be 98343098432 more Master IDers around. I do feel bad for the people grinding ID out now, because they had it somuch harder than I did. However, I've had some people trying to grind it out actually yell at me when I couldnt tell them a super easy way to grind out ID really quickly. That was kinda bad.


I get a lot of questions about new tats or hairstyles, so I feel bad that there aren't all the changes that users seem to want, but they are generally very happy with the changes they get anyways. I just don't like waiting the 10 minutes on Stats Migration with that ID window open blocking most of my view, even when the window size is adjusted.

Id have to say 6 right about now.


I had one bad experience (Sir Voor read about it... hehe) and that made me sour.


I love the new UI but i also hate how small the colors boxes actually are. I really miss the numbers on the boxes, that made things much easier on me. It would be really nice if we had numbers and a slider to go with those small little boxes. When a customer says red we could click on the red group and go up and down till they are happy.


I want the numbers back so bad i cant stand it! My weight is 35... or it was, now i dont know. Sure i can get it close but the number made it so easy for me to get big and then small again.


Kwee gets a 10 tho! Im soooo thankful that i dont have her job

9. This will change to a 10 when I can get wookiee dreadlocks.


I am having fun, though. By and large the timer isn't an issue for me, because it takes long enough to totally redo somebody's look according to the new color schemes that by the time we're ready, the timer's run out. This morning I had one customer who just wanted a stat migration and no he did not want to see any other options thank you, so that was a bit of a wall I hit, but there were other people in the tent and we all talked while he waited out the change.


By and large everyone's been really cool about it, and one little Zabrak nearly bowled me over in excitement when I showed her I could make her lipstick and tattoo just as bright as her new bluehair.


As far as anime hair complaints,the stuff's in the films.Rystall was a near-human with Bright Orange Hair. Bounty Hunter Aurra Sing had a bright red topknot. I'm sure there's more, many more.

8.5 The UI and colors have made it all so much more fun But I agree with others that the profession could still use some more fleshing out

I'd have to say 5. The new UI and colors are great…but the thought that there will never be a new MID until something is done about XP kinda kills it for me.

I'm going to be posting this everywhere until they change it.

GET RID OF THE TIMER.


Other than that, I've had a great time. Probably about an 8 for me.

I'd say 8.5 on the fun chart!


Even the stat migration isn't so bad, because all but one of my clients who did it requested some other changes, too. And there was tons of great conversation going on the whole time as well. Yes, it takes a long time. I am not saying I love the timers, I have my worries there, too. However, overall, the improvements are fabulous! I was pleasantly suprised by how much I liked the holo emotes...with a couple minor exceptions, they look like they will be a lot of fun. (I am not a fan of the pink kitties...sorry.)


Oh, and to the people whoare upset about the wild hair colors...I seem to remember this scene in Jabba's Palace with some singing & dancing girls who had some pretty wild colors...and I am sure if I were to go comb through the movies, books, comics, etc.,some more I could find more examples...so, umm, wouldn't that mean that the colors *are* something actually out of Star Wars? I figure just like every new thing they bring into the game, it will be a huge hype for a while, everyone will want to see what they look like with something new from an ID, but then people will be a little more realistic about things. I mean, what happened a week after mounts came out?

10!!!

I love the new palettes, and I expecially love the new interface! Now whenever I have a wait at the starport, I play around with it on myself. (I haven't done many drastic changes with my human or Bothan...yet.) I don't do this as a business, just for fun. My fiance has a female Rodian that we plan on chaning up every other week of so. Last night we had a blast making over our Wookiee friends. We made one look like a scoop of Sherbet (orange & pink). The new colors are awesome, but I think the best overall change is the interface. It's just so much better than one thing at a time.

When I get up enough courage, I'll start ID'ing strangers for cash...but I'm having too much fun with just our 4 characters and our friends...
