kwee and company have been working hard to point out the bugs and compile information for the devs. and i think the devs have been very good at squashing bugs and other issues over the past week. i am very impressed. i am aware that there are some pretty nasty bugs still about, but who knows what tomorrow's live publish may bring ^_^

i am curious though, and i may have missed it, but what is even the point of the timer on the new ui? o.O

It's to force ID mastering to take a certain amount of time. That's all Which is why us Masters are begging for body/cosmetic change timers to be removed or lessened

Also, do we have any firm info on responses to our queries about timers being shortened in general, timers being made post rather than pre, stat migration being left in for the general populace…any other issues we've brought up since testing began? (Please say yes, I'm tired of throwing communication hissy fits)

Please understand that this is not targetted at you, Kwee. I know you're doing your best for us, and for those that may want to join our ranks in the future—especially for them. But…examined closely?! For the sake of argument, let's say you get 300XP per change every 2.5 minutes (not possible since you have no body options at novice entertainer, but this is for the sake of argument) it would take 61 hours and 15 minutes to master ID. What the hell else needs to be examined?! Almost every other profession only requires 10-15 hours of straight grinding and ID would require 61.25 on the fast track?! We'd better get a whole lot more "critical function" if we're going to be forced to take that long to master. (That was sarcasm. I think we already served a critical purpose, and in failing to see that the devs have displayed a complete and utter lack of understanding for our playstyle. Couple that with herding us into NPC cities to perform their wonderous new "critical function" and I can only conclude that they have never played IDs, and have absolutely no clue what to do with us. At this point, I'd still rather they trash the whole patch. The UI is nice, as are the colors, but they're not worth all the "extras.")

Outstanding bugs will have to be hotfixed in the coming days.

Before you go pinning all your hopes on hotfixes for the bugs that WILL be cast in stone tomorrow think of all the many bugs that have been in this game from day one and have received absolutly no real attention. Sorry to be so negative but what I'm seeing from the DEVs lately has me very disheartened. I really love this game and had high hopes for it but I'm afraid it is not ever going to meet those hopes and will soon be a PvP only shoot-em-up. I don't think the DEVs are bright enough to be able to do anything else.

I have said this before and i say it again about the timers.

OVERKILL!

Since I ama roleplayer and I roleplay that my character after being induced to Project G.H.O.S.T.'s virus programming which is in the testing phase and has been known to cause strange side effects, and my character's side effect is he was using a temporary Image Designing solution used in his new design theory funded by the Empire. Well basicly he is a shapeshifter,but I guess now Im going to have to stop and wait 5 minutes in between times I'd like to roleplay.....maybe master IDs should not have any time limit when IDing themselves I dont mind it on others...they are customers and it increases the customer relations factor,but on ourselves???? that should be zero time. In my opinion. The New publish looks great...gonna name my firstborn Kwee...cause SHE ROCKS
