ack! MATH! /runsaway


I understand this part though- " And again at Master Image Designer: (60 * 1) * ((100 - 100) / 100) = 0 seconds between changes." And i think that sounds good. If not that then howabout Master Image Designer = Zero Timer? Come on Devs... here my pleas!

I'm not an ID, but I also gotta say that I really resent the change to stat migration. I'm fine with you all being able to speed the process, but taking away the ability from the player base is just going to be a major hardship. There aren't enough IDs in the galaxy, and I like to adjust my stats often. Also, I have a feeling that many IDs will be really gouging people for stat changes.









How can we be gouging? We're going to be setting the standard for this, since it's never been something that another player has had to do for you before. And this is going to be a pain for us as well. They have to be done inside the tents, which means we're being FORCED to travel (which a lot of us hate to do). People who can pay 500k - 1 mil for a gun, and 350k for a set of armor, can damn well pay 50k to an ID to have their stats migrated. If they don't want to, they don't really need it done.

The timer needs to go. If they're getting rid of the /imagedesignSetValue command, then people will have to work through the interface, and that's ENOUGH of a time sink to slow down ID grind considerably. Please, devs... if you do nothing else, please do this for us. It's not fair that master ID's who are ID'ing for a living have to suffer the consequences and have that enormous timer. I agree with the 10 minute stat migration timer, but let it be client-end only, so that we can go directly to the nextclient. It is NOT fair to punish us for a problem that was, however inadvertently, created by you.






Amen!

This is exactly the attitude why I think its such a bad idea to limit stat migration to IDs. And also exactly the reason I think you will soon be the most resented profession in the galaxy.


I also have to agree that the timer is a bad idea. I hardly ever get dancer/musician buffs for the exact same reason, it takes too long. But I guess getting a hairstyle change or whatever isn't really the same thing (I wouldnt need a new do just before I go into combat...heh)


So I dunno, I wouldn't mind waiting for a minute while hair changes update...but I guess I'll be doing my final stat migration tonight and hope to get it right.

I don't want stat migration taken away from everyone either, but Fuscia has a point and it is a good one! People want good weapons and are willing to pay whatever is necessary to get them. They will gladly pay again as soon as they wear out. It is the same with armor. I hear people complain about the prices of both of these, and then go and purchase them without too much grumbling. If stat migration is really necessary for you, then there is no reason why you should not be willing to pay a decent amount for it! It is not gouging any more than the people who sell expensive weapons and armor. The only difference is that weaponsmiths and armorsmiths are respected and image designers aren't.
