In publish 9 or 10 the devs are likely to fix up the tents on the inside, even though they have not ask for our imput I think that we should give it anyways


So what would you like to see?


And for any devs that may read this; Is it possible that NPC city ID tents can be replaced with NPC city ID buildings?

How about adding an NPC that is activated when the system checks (like every 5 mins) and does not find a Master ID working in the tent (verify the player is not AFK)?


I have been looking for an ID now for over six weeks in wanderhome to get a new hair style. Now I also want to change my stats. I have waited for over two hours at the Vreni island location, as well as searched for ID's on every planet. This is just rediculous that it requires an ID to change my hair and stats and yet none can be located during primetime hours for almost two months now! I wonder how the European folks on our server are doing with this issue as well.

What's the last question you're asking there Sir Voor? I think there's a typo or word missing.


Edit: Fixed my own typo

Sorry hear about your problem, try using the ***Looking for an Image Designer? ID's Listed by Galaxy HERE!*** sticky. Prepatch a lot of IDer where on the TC server testing the new stuff, so I'm sure it was very hard to find an IDer on a regular server then.


On your suggestion I have to say "Please No!" There needs to be a better way to find an IDer, but having NPC IDer will kill the profession. Player would just wait for the NPC ID and do it them selfs and not see a PC IDer again.


I would like to see a terminal the IDer can place aids on telling customers when and where they will be doing IDs.

I really don't like the looks of the current tents. I would much rather see a separate building..or have the terminals added into sections of current city structures that are not really being used...such as the back rooms of the cantinas or the empty rooms in the hospitals.


But I do feel the addition of the tents can be the start of a good thing...bringing business & people back to the npc cities where they belong. I would like to see this lead to apartment housing in the cities & rentable vendor areas so other professions can display & sell their wares also. I'm really tired of seeing the major cities be ghost-towns except for afk spammers outside the spaceports.


I also had an idea about having the ID terminals from the tents be items we can have crafted by artisans or architects & placed in houses or merchant tents for the player owned versions of the npc tents/buildings. This would eliminate the need to brainstorm over the design of the player owned version since we all will be able to decorate them any way we like.
