Image Designer Archive

I think the main purpose of an image designer is really to make it so that you really don't need to reroll your char, if you want to change. You can already change stats and skills in game and image designer lets you change your looks. I'd like to see the image desinger able to change last names at novice level, and then change first names at Master level (this would need to be limited to once a month or 3 months or something so it doesn't happen often.)

The other would be the ability to change races. I think this would need some sort of machine that someone builds (droid engineers maybe?) that image designer mastersget to operate..... The player would get to choose their starting profession and his stats would reset to the base starting stats of that race/profession. This again would be limited to like once a month I think but I envision that after a few months players will have their stats tweaked and may not want to change race and have to respec stats anyway unless they really want to be a different race.

I'm not sure how doable these are programming wise though. I suspect last name change would be easy, the other two would be more difficult

I don't like the idea about making the changes temporary. Maybe make it a choice to make them permanent or temporary.

I'd like body tattoos, and piercing (though I'm only an earlobe and bellybutton kind of gal).

I think that if they implemented something to actually make the image designer a useful class, then it would be a great roleplaying class at that.. we will be similar to entertainers.. as artisans are to combat and medical classes... We will basically be able to do all of the makeup and style changes that they are unable to do.. and even get our own constant customer base to make a business out of it.. not just help out our friends with minor crap.. after spending excess of 100k on the skillset.. heh

I don't like the idea about changing races. And before anyone says it I don't want tobe ablechange sex (wont happen anyways).

It would be nice to have alot of extra options especially for those races that don't have many choices at the beginning.

Giving Wookie haircuts (I think Snoova had a flat top) and braiding wookie hair would be nice. We could dye patterns in their hair so they can sort of have tattoo like options. This could work for Bothans too.

Trandoshans would really benefit from being able to get tattoos or at least face paint for their scales. Bright red dot or stripes. Mon Cal could have the same.

Twi'lek need more Lekku arrangement options. Im not sure how many there are but I think there are only both behind the head ,both in front, one wrapped and both wrapped. we could have both wrapped in front, one wrapped to the left one to the right. (early dev pictures showed wrapped on top of head).

I really like to see tattoo being able to be done on Lekku.

I'd like to also see total body skin color in weird choices. I'm should quite a few zabrak would like to be black with red tattoo's.

The thing though is what was already mentioned making the skill using to hide TEF flags and covert/overt status for a bit.

Im fairly new at ID so I dont know all the abilities I will get. But I do like the idea of TEF. Where we can make players look like they are covert/overt between rebel and imperial. Thus things like Han and Luke can dress like imperials, we could do that if a friends corpse was near an enemy city and we could loot their items or drag the body. In addition to this ability, IDs will have the skill of /suspicion, where if a rebel who has TEF imperial just doesnt look familiar, we could use that skill to expose them.

I really like the Idea of effecting covert/overt status. Maybe later they could remove the Imperial/rebel recruiter's ability to do this and place it in the jurisdiction of the Image Designer. This could prevent a lot of griefing and be more realistic. I really don't think an Imperial is just going to ignore some former overt rebel just because he said "Hey guys really I'm not with the rebels anymore!!!"

Also the Devs are definitely going to alter the way image designer works in the future. I can't remember what profession list they mentioned it on but they said they would eventually run through all the professions and apply changes and fixes. Once they have gone through them all once they would then go back and "do another pass" for as long as Star Wars Galaxies exists. This kind of like what they did in Diablo.

A few last thing what happened to all the changes you could apparently do in beta? I heard you could alter age and such also where did all the colors go? Tailors are complaining about the exact same thing.
Oh and piercing and tattoos would definitely be nice.

Sorry aboutspaming the list but posting that message was one of the most arduous expereinces of my life...

If I can only choose one wish it would be to do away with that horrible slider and give us the color palette used in char creation. PLEASE.

All of these are great ideas!!! Hope to see at least a few in game.

If I had to pick just one, it would be NO SLIDER BARS!!! There has to be a better way!! )

I would also like hair to grow. Make-up to wear off. And timing affects to other species. Thus we can actually have a job to do. I usually don't charge for my skills because its a pain just to have someone allow me to modify them. If these changes were made, then we should also get the ability to craft items that create temporary modifications. Make-up, shave kits, and so forth.

A color pallette would be nice so if they dont like their new change we know what color they used to have.

don't know if you all know this but we do have a light source in the game. hit ctrl L and you get a light turned on you and your immediate surroundings. Perfect for ID.
