Well, it's really only Stat Mitigation that takes ten minutes. Also, that's not going to change. Master ID's will STILL have to wait 10 minutes on Stat Mitigations.

The other timers are 5 minutes on Body type changes, and 2 minutes on cosmetic changes (halved in a tent currently.)

All the proposed change will do is allow Master ID's to make Body-typechanges in 1 minute 15 seconds in a tent, and 2 and a half minutes outside a tent.

Personally, a better idea would be to allow Master ID's to push the 'Confirm' UI button at any time, but only get XP for it if they wait out the timer. You don't need Image Design XP at Master anyway, and it would keep people from getting limitless AP.. not that that's not possible with other class combos, anyway.

Master ID's will have no timers in the tent (except for stat migration), and half timers outside of the tent.

thats great for masters kwee, but for the others new and up coming ID'ers it SUCKS!! im a very casual player, so i grind hard to get to master in the few short hours in the evening so i can enjoy it more. however with the way ID is now, ill be 2 months minimum at the rate im able to play to regain master. Its all good for the masters, but what about the rest of us???

Its been said before, and im inclined to agree, ID is VERY lopsided when it comes to masters and novice ID'ers, they are one in the same issue, not 2 separate ones. you have to go through novice to get to master...

please devs if not totally remove the timer except for stat migration, then please lower them to something more reasonable like 10 - 15 sec timers on cosmetic, 20-25 for body changes...

I do not get to dictate to Runesabre and the other devswhat decisions I'd like them to make. Master ID timers are the one spotwe'vegained a little ground in the timers/exp progression issue.Master ID timers and timers linked to exp progressionare very much two separate issues, and I have dedicated far more time to lobbying forexp progression easingthan Master timers... When someone suggests that I lump all the timer and exp progression issues in one clumpit is always accompanied by the implication that all I care about are MID timers.An impression that especially surprises me when it comes from active forum posters?

my apologies to you kwee, my posts arent mean to be flames, but from the posts i have read thus far, it did seem very one sided. i honestly hope you are able to convince the devs of the importance of the timer issues...and hope the devs listen to you from a players perspective. because had they looked at it from a players perspective in the first place they wouldt have added such insane timers on us all...

Agreed. Speaking as a 2/1/4/0 Novice ID I'm glad the timers are adios for Master Image Designers.. really, I am. It's something to look forward toafter all this grinding.
