ID-tents for player cities or atleast more ID-Salons in static cities: At the moment both customer and ID often have to travel some distances to get to one of the five salons and to find each other. Many IDs, especially Masters don't want to make that travel all the time, especially while many either have a nice Tailor-shop in their favorite playercity or similar obligations. A player placeable ID-tent or ID-station would be really helpfull and would be greatly appreciated by our comunity.






Want a little more ammunition as a reason for this? I've got a couple friends who run on... Let's just say 'lesser hardware'. I'm on an Athlon 2200 with an ATI Radeon 9600 XT and Theed,Coronetand Bestine can drop me to the 1 frame per second range. These friends of mine, one of whom has required stat migration a couple of times, CAN NOT go into Theed, Coronet or Bestine without crashing to the desktop. It once took him an HOUR just to get out of Theed. Crash, reload, take a few steps, crash...


So, there're people out there who really don't want (or can't) go to the big cities. That leaves, what? Vreni Island? Who in their right minds is going to SIT in Vreni Island waiting for ID jobs to show up? Which means that people on old, slow machines who can't get into the big cities have to beg IDs to go with them. If we could place in player cities OR get them in other places (Kadaara, Moenia, Mos Espa... Somewhere on Talus, perhaps? Rori?) then it wouldn't be such a traumatic experience for those whose machines just can't handle the likes of Theed and Coronet.

Yes, I know that problem myself... before upgrading my comp to 1 GB Ram and a 2.2GHz CPU Entering Theed or Cnet was a risc I tried to avoid like hell...




May the Force be with you all!

Could be. I know the fog there always causes me problems, so I try to avoid it. I don't know what it does to those with less capable machines.

Also forgot to add ..... but I would love to see a hips/butt slider.



Yes! Please do!


I have sent my following ideas in via the feedback page, but I thought it would be nice to see other people's opinion on this, and this seemed to be the right forum for this posting:


1) Hips - Butt - Thighs..... I've a max height, max bust, max muscle (see next comment) Amazonian type female. I have tried putting on various clothes that show off her legs, such as hot pants, short, and the new extremely revealing skirt. All of these show that she has no hips. I hate it. Her upper body is that of a muture female, but lower looks barely adolescent. The only females I've seen that those clothes do actually look 'right' on are variations of max short, small busted, and generally petite. Fuller figures need fuller hips to look right.


2) Muscle..... Has anyone noticed that men get GREAT muscle definition at the max setting, such that they look like olympic gymnists, but the max setting for women merely gives good tone? :smileysadne can barely see any shading, much less an actual increase in volume/muscle density as it does for the men. It would be nice to have our females look like they could actually defeat someone in physical combat. Put a man and woman, as they are now, next to each other, in sleeveless outfits, and you'd laugh at the idea that that woman could possibly be better in TK than he is. When I reach Master TK, I'd like her to look like she could BE a Master TK. To look like she actually could throw someone off their feet.


Please! Twiggy is NOT my idea of an ideal female, *shudder* but the current hip/butt/thigh and muscles available gives me the impression that the Sony designer who create the female form for our avatars does.

2. The ID-UI needs a litte rework as well: Names on the Hairstyles (and their equivalents) and numbers on the sliders would be very, very helpfull and would maky alot of IDs more happy. The color-palettes are way to small, too. Additionally the old annoying and persisting 'Armor-bug' needs to be fixed.


Please. Make the ID-UI resizable! /cry Please?






Especially since now for some reason the alt button for many people is laggy

And please please please can we have names for hairstyles ?


Or if no one is imaginative / inclined enough to do that,can we at least have numbers or somthing ?


I am just sick of hearing "the one that looks like the braids but isn't" or "that one that is short in the front with plaits".


This is especially relevant to me since I charge by the minute, and not per change made, and while I could sit there grinning at the cash I could rake in while the client tries to describe the hairdo, I am not in this for the money. I would much prefer to do good, efficient work that economises both my time and the client's.
