Making players bald!

Used to be a work-around... now there isn't.


Has there been any official word from the Devs?


Why was this change made and will they be giving us the ability to make players bald or what?


Please, Kwee... there is no greater Profession representative. Do you have any answers for a very upset player?




...PSG's and other armors with flucuating stats

Image Design with no Bald option

No Tailor-made vest (as in the starting Scout outfit)

Imperial Uniform Hats (can't be equipped and have been taken out of game)


The top Little-Big things that have been since launch, that absolutely need to be implemented properly.

I've posted about this in the past. Making our missing abilities (baldness, eye shape, male Twi/Zab freckles) available is in the works. We should see it fairly soon.

Thanks Kwee,



Lets hope soon comes more quickly than I imagine it will.



I figured I had to respond to both of your replies... but you don't have to respond to both of mine again, hehe.


Thanks again.

I was an Imagedesigner for a month, but I left it. Mainly because of bugs. I loved the profession and I would like to get to master again, but I have a few questions that I would like to get an answer to before I do that. So hopefully some of you can answer me.


1. Lightning. I found it very difficult to change facial features as I could hardly see peoples faces because of bad lightning and shadows. Will this be fixed?


2.In my opinion one of themostly annoying bugs: The haircolor bug. When I changed someones hairstyle they got a brown haircolor and even though I changed it the changes did not happen before the day after (server restart). If I changed haircolor the old color would be there untill the day after. This is a bad bad error and so many player events and even weddings got destroyed by this. I can remember a guild wedding that had been planned for weeks and I was going to change the brides hair when she discovered that she could not be blonde. The wedding was canceled. This is to bad and makes people less entustiathic about the game.


3. Female frame bug. This sounds bad bad bad!!! Is this still an issue, and does it happen every time. If that is the case I will never change female weight again. People get really attatched to their chars and if some permanent dammagehappens I will not be the one who doesit to them.Devs!! if this is still a please fix!!


4.My vote is. No more weapons, no more dungeons, no more droids. More hairstyles, more clothes and fix the damn bugs!!!


best regards and thanks for a good game

1/ Our new user interface should fix the lighting issue


2/ I'm hoping the new UI will fix some of the bugs we have but we won't be able to find out until the mini publish hits Test Center


3/ I haven't really tested this out myself, I can see a small difference between my Kwee on Starsider that I modify all the time and the one on Flurry that has never had a body mod.

two of the biggest customer requests not mentioned above:


1. Earrings


2. Hair ties / Barettes and colors on them ( female humans only get lilac hair ties? why? )

Just a thought but we put makeup on people that never fades.... Why not have it fade over a period of a day...ie6-8 hours or so. Real makeup must be reapplied why should this be any less. Also if a character spends a large amount of time otuside cities the makeup should fade faster and possibly be negated by mask scent. Hard to hide from a rancor when you smell like eyeliner.



Another random idea. Should characters hair grow over a period of time. I know this might reak havoc with avatars in game but if hair was to grow over days or weeks it would mean that players would NEED an ID just to maintain their favorite hair cut. It would also mean that if people wanted long hair they could wait the week or two OR they could just get it done by an ID. I also support the /maskfaction idea along the lines of looking like another faction. But could this also apply to thugs? Mask from Jabba and enter the palace even if you cant take any missions yet. Perhaps have the faction thugs ranked out like camo kits for rangers. Hiding from basic thugs could be low lvl while hiding from imp or rebs would require

eerrr... sorry got cut off somehow...



continuing on... hiding from rebs or imps should require high lvl in the skill and possibly require ktis made by an ID or possibly BE (thought they ahve enough to make right now).

I agree that males should have the option to wear make up if they wish. The ability to control contours of hips will be GREAT as well--you can't make a scrawny person in this game! They're all perfectly proportioned even with the least muscular, least fat options. Likewise you can't make a curvy, chubby lady.


I think the interest in having people get dirty, mussed up, fat or junkie-fied is great--huzzah! I know I for one will be glad to see some new hairstyles. I hope there's some new ones that are different 'themed' for the species--the bothans have a certain sort of 'theme' for instance, humans have another. I hope we get some more interesting ones!


Also this was a great write up, glad to see it and read the ideas. =)

Can the wish list be updated in accordance to the Image Designer Mini-publish. Some wish list items are being added to the game, since there will be room can we possibly add my glorious idea to the wish list?!?!?!?! I can poll the ID community if they think my idea is worthy of SOTP Wish list space too.

Gah give me a few days I spend a lot more time doing behind the scenes work than on the forums and I'll be swamped for a while longer.

Thanks for the prompt update luv. Also you think maybe a few weeks after this mini-publish soaks in we can do one of those "schematic" threads...not sure if you know what Im talking about. I read the Core System Forums a lot and one of the Devs posted the exact format they would like profession issues adressed in. I'll post the format in the main ID forums in a couple weeks and we as a community can work on it

I believe it was posted in reference to getting ready to do a revamp of a profession, like Smuggler is getting. We have a different format Thunderheart likes for states of the profession and top five issues lists.
