Now that would be sweet.

Some people have mentioned this, and I think it needs serious commenting: Customization beyond the character design menu. My opinion on this is a firm, resounding NO, unless they give ID's the ability to give us a fire-and-forget catalog (in otherwords, "practice mode" image designer window based on the IDs extent of knowledge (If I got a catalog from a 2314 ID, I wouldn't have stuff beyond that tweakable)) where we can SEE our options before hand. Someone mentioned not wanting to sit there for 40-60 minutes designing a single person,(the context was species changing) and I think if content is added in this way, you'll only deal with tons of it unless people can actually see what they're getting into. I know when I wanted to come to an ID to get my toon tweaked I created a new character and checked my options.

Someone else mentioned pointed teeth for twilek, and although I'm sure they actually meant it, it needs to be toggleable. I've watched ROTJ and AOTC which both contain female twilek, and I never recall a single snarled tooth errupting from their beautiful mouths. It was bib's thing much like the red eyes and tumors. I would hate my female twilek toon to become a cuisinart.

... Not that I'm the type of person who does that kind of thing. What thing. Don't look at me! /flee

Besides those two nitpicks, I'm more than onboard with more options in facial structure (I tried doing a "child" twilek toon.. the lack of options combined with my current graphics problems (it bugs out occasionally until a mesh loads/warps) meant it just looked like a pudgy short girl) and ALL body section length/size/etc tweakage. I should be able to make my arms and legs a bit shorter for said child toon, or long if I want either a lanky character, or something I was thinking about, a "freak" with longer arms, sorta the down to the mid thighs length vs the hips. As it stands now with characters we're still loading LOTS AND LOTS of customized items and meshes, we might as well be able to go the full yard and create truly unique toons - it'd only up the PC requirements slightly, and I'm due for an upgrade anyway.

Has the ID correspondent posted on any news of anything submitted to the dev's about ID changes? I haven't seen any of the correspondence post lately getting very quiet from the dev's too

I still want to be able to ID vendors. Thats the biggest thing. It would bring in revenue and open up our interactions with other players. You know click on the person who wants their vendor done (vendor within 10m of the person who owns it) have the radial include new option Image Design Vendor. It would bring up that vendor int he window so that the owner could see it (just like a real id session) then go on from there.


Also for the existing hairstyles, the only metal hair pieces that can change color are for Bothans, which is silly. HUmans and zabraks should be albo to have NON-purple ponytail holders and such.


piercings are good, especially since we have earrimgs in the game and cant equip them.


also loot schematics. make loots schematics hat only Master ID's can make. they did this for other professions, to get interactions going between chracters, why not id's? they could make mirrors, hairbrushed, a little makeup tray (for decoration only) or even a little vanityyou know small table with lighting and a matching little chair.


but you guys have some great ideas, things i havent even thought of.


the scars idea is great. id much rather die and clone with a scar than a metal leg :/ Not only that, but ID's should take the metal arms and legs off, not a doctor in theed. It would again, bring combat people to us, create more revenue, force us to interact with people who would normally not come ot us. We are the plastic surgeons and beauticiansare we not??

How about making the color palettes a little bigger and naming the colors? Some people in game (like myself) are either color bling or partially color blind and could benefit from color naming.


I had more but most of it was posted by others already =)

Beside the fix for the "swimming-bug" in the new publish currently tested on TC there is nothing new yet. The devs seem to be busy with other stuff they want to get into the game. We will have to be patient as allways I fear.

Maybe you could give them another poke about the vendors for us again? You never know when they'll give a statement, it would rock if this item is really going to be worked on soon. *bounces* Maybe you'll get good news for us?

I can't remember if it was brought up previously, but how about the ID window showing people in their underwear so they don't have to strip down before hand to get some body/hair work done? This would also help the ID when people DON'T do this, and if it were toggleable via a check box below the window, the customer and the ID could check whether it looks good with their outfit on.

Just another idea to help one of the only two professions that make me look sexy.

Why couldn't ID's just make the NPC vendors? Do it like a design session where you'd group with the merchant and build one from the ground up? [ID's design abilities scaled the same as with PCs] At least then there'd be something y'all could sell. They already have the groundwork, sorta, from BE pets.


I'm sure there's more than one DE out there who wouldn't mind the ability to craft vendor droids right about now (provided they weren't bugged, of course) And architects could use a boost as well with the terminals.


Personally, I've never understood how you could just produce a vendor out of thin air. Or fit a swoop bike in a datapad, but...


Anyway, just an idea.

OK here is another idea. Im not sure if its been mentioned anywhere else, if so, Im sorry


ID's should be able to image design house intereriors.


Why ID not architect, you ask? Well because in real life, architects make furniture and make houses, but they usually dont paint the walls and do the carpeting.


What about the skill called Interior designer? Change the name of that skill.


How would it work? We could have the same palette as the hair palette. It has all the pales and brights, bolds, blacks and greys, earth tones- anythingyou'd ever need. ID's would craft paint and sell them on a vendor or bazaar. People could buy the paint, click on aradial menu in the middle of each wall/ floor segment, and paint their walls and ceilings. And if the devs are really nice, they could do "paint designcans" with a design on it, simplepatternslike the walls and carpets in naboo houses and even "Furniture Upholstery" to make Chairs, Couches, table bases, ottomans match (furniture upholstery would likely go with the tailor profession, since its cloth and all). Then for vendors/bazaar, the person could click on the item and see a square swatch of that color or pattern. Each can could have 10 uses


Why do it? It would give ID's something to craft (like entertainers have instruments). It would give ID's a new way to achieve income. People would finally have PRETTY and coordinating houses!!!!!! I mean we can paint our vehicles, why not our walls and carpets (even furniture)? Rugs would still be useful, but people could color coordinate rooms better. We DESIGN IMAGES. Why limit it to only bodies and faces? It would be super easy, just a skin for walls and carpets and super super fun!



I dunno, maybe I'm crazy, I'm sure you guys will tell me what you think

ok nice idea's but the profession is totally wrong if you want to Interior Design the profession for this is ARCHITECT, currently on the architect forum a poll has been running for many many months after a red name asked what the profession thought of increased colour options.


Similar proposals have been run through the architect profession since beta I personally feel you need to have a look at one of the architect forums largest threads with regards to furniture/interior customizations


You want to craft and Interior Design then add 4x-x-x Architect to your template I have done so on Bloodfin as Archi 4-x-x-x Master ID Master Tailor for over a year now and it has been a rewarding play experiance
