I actually don't mind the stat timer at all. Did a couple stat migrations today and my clients told me that's exactly what they wanted. Soo... I clicked on the timer and had some hilarious conversations. Plus while we were standing there waiting for it to tick down I did all the other changes the clients wanted, ran through colours and the like and by the time the client was happy with the "new look" the timer was at 0 and we were good to go. I dunno, maybe it's just me because I have lots of free time, but I like the timer.

Well, I think the timers should be less for Master IDs (Really, what reason other than grinding is the timer there for, and thus, what reason do MIDs need it?) Sure, a little bit of a timer is ok tho, 1min max.

I did find however, that someone would ask for a change, ie. hair colour. Then, waiting for the timer to go down, they'd ask for something else, eyecolour to match, and usually it would expand to a much larger makeover - and by then, the timer is all gone. From what I've seen, as long as you are in the UI the time is subtracted. IE. someone decides 2 minutes into the UI that they want their stats migrated, instead of 10 mins, its 8. So its really not all that bad, if you're getting a stat migration with a whole makeover

MasterNerfSlayer, So?

They are still getting paid the same amount, or FAR MORE, without any resource cost.

Just because it doesnt have to do with combat, doesnt mean the same amount of money isnt being received.

Yep no problems with the timers, by the time a look had been decided on the timer had already reached 0, the timer also seems to remember how long the ID session has been active so if you start with a quick hair colour change and a minute into that start working on body part changes, the timer for that remembers the minute the session has already been active so not it does not keep adding cumulatively for each change as someone commented on earlier.

Stat migration is a bore but hey doctors have to stand around buffing people, musicians have to stand and play in one spot,and with those 10 minutes do some changes, get a drink and stop being so impatient.

I like to think these timers will finally take Image Design out of the easiest profession to Master and make it far more lengthy like musicianship just the way it should be.

Except now all the stupid, idiotic hologrinders will be in the tents, and much like the dancer AFKers have ruined the cantinas, the ID grinders will ruin the already ruined tents even more. GIVE US PLAYCITY TENTS NOW.

Well, Iwas gonna start on ID today. Yes after the announced Jedi Changes I picked up HoloGrinding again...
Currently doing all Entertainer proffs, but Im guessing I can rule out BOTH Master Entertainer and Master Image Designer. Why?
After using 10min on the first boxI was getting impatient. And after getting the first box, woho! 50minutes untill the next box.

10min on 1000XP? You know thats bad... So its 1000, 5000, 10000, 15000? Yes? 10min, 50min, 1hour 40min, 2hours30min, total of 5hours and 10min. IF you have a customer... And getting customers is hard, especially if you have 2master IDs in the tent with the fancy holo emotes.

How many are actually going to do Novice Entertainer -> Master Image Designer now.
At best its been calculated at 125man hours.. Thats over 5days of just waiting. Do you wanna stare at the screen for 5days? Doing nothing?
Thats not playing a game, thats a joke..

I dont mind proffesions taking along time, (and I would probably never bother with this if I had made Master I.D.pre-patch), but I want to see me getting something out of it. Getting some XP. You are not seing this with ID post-patch.

It should be a game, not a test for patience. It should be fun... This really isnt fun...
