Thread: Let's talk about: Image Design User Interface
Lots of great ideas 
I really like the roladex, but am not fond of having a chat box only because chatting with a customer out loud has often been a great way for me to get more customers from people listening nearby. And often friends or passersby enjoy watching the interaction between the customer and ID'er
I definitely agree it would be nice to have a secure payment method built in. I know we've talked that one to death in the past and my favorite method would only be possible if all changes were done at once... Ideally there would be an option for the customer to enter some amount (either agreed upon previously or a tip), at which point if happy the ID'er would allow the changes to go through. If the changes were not done all at once (due to mind constraints), then an option for the ID'er to undo all changes made to the client at the end of the session if they don't pay up or underpay a set price

Chat Box: I guess it it depends on where you are it and how many customers you have waiting. I think it should be optional to use

I would like it when Master Image designerdo a "multichange commet" the XP should be 0 or 1, the mind cost should besizablebuthave a set amount for multi-changes, and"multichange commet" should be on a timer 2-5 mins.

Pre-Master Image designer have to commet each change
Master Image designercan do multichanges before commet

I like how we're thinking here, but let's focus on the candy. When push comes to shove, I think most of us would abandon interface concerns in about 2 seconds for body tattoos. I'm not sure how high a priority this is - it would be very very nice to have, but it's down the list from new content. I'm not saying it's a bad idea to flesh out the wish-list now, but let's not have this overshadow the stuff that we really really want.
I would agree UI should take secound stage, "IF" it was one or the other, but sense it looks like we are going to get the whole art team working on ID for a month or so and likely nothing after for a long time. I say we better ask forall we want now.
Good thinking Syzygy-Gorath
And they have other projects going all the time...

Okay…so, here's the deal. As far as I can tell the most number of changes possible on any given toon is 27. Assuming I've counted right, this chart would give a master the ability to perform an entire makeover in a single commit, and would, to a degree, mitigate the high mind cost of doing so (the mind cost modifier.) Just a random thought, still very much in the formative stages and very much open to comments, criticisms, and alteration…so yeah, comment, criticize, and alterate.

I'm very happy that they are going to spend any time at all on ID stuff! The space expansion is going to take a lot of work and they can't afford to mess it up. There are so many people who are still playing the game hoping that the space expansion will make it much better and they wouldn't want those people to be disgusted and quit!

Ooops
I meant to say"one" whole team of which I'm there are many arts teams, and I have no idea if a team is 1 or 12 artist. Ether way after we get some dev love my Guess (and it'sonly a guess)would be that there will be a dry spell afterwords.
