Image Designer Archive

James, if you don't like it, don't do it. I don't understand why you would pay money to be bored/frustrated/angry while in theory playing a game. And believe me, I do understand and sympathize with your frustration, right now is probably not the time to try to become an Image Designer. If anything at all is right with the world things will be adjusted so it is better sometime soon, you might want to hold off on Image Design until then.

Have fun.

I find it amazing how all of a sudden "everyone" wants to be an image designer...where were you all before the patch announcement? Certainly not grinding ID... You people who cry about the timer make me laugh. You have some audacity to try and change the way our profession was planned when after you master it you will only drop it.

For the longest time our profession was a joke. No one wanted to do it. The hologrinders would flame our boards on how our profession sucked and how they can move through it quickly. It would have been all well and good if they just did the "grind and go," but no... they stayed, price gouged, undercut, griefed our clients into not trusting us anymore. The very same people that almost ruined our profession are back again whining about a timer.

Know something? Im glad there is a timer. I got used to the crying and I snicker every time I see some 1337 d00D whining how they "jU$7 g07 ID 4 th3r3 h0l0! OMG! SUxX0rz!" I get a smile every 2-5 minutes, sometimes every ten.

Er, right. Heavens forbid that more players might want to play ID, once the devs made them more desirable to play, and more necessarywith a Image Design revamp! Gasp! Silly players. Silly devs.

For what it's worth, I'm not an Image Designer, nor am I all that passionate about the Stat Mitigation either way. I've considered Image Designer in bits, but never got around to it.

I am, however,passionate about good gameplay, and vehemently opposed to lousy gameplay-- and the arguments that defend it, especially whentheylack sympathy forplayers who actually have to play through it, when those who offer the arguments don't.

To be fair, I think it's more a case of 'squeaky wheel', and folks tendancy to only speak up when they're upset over a given situation/condition.

Not a situation of folks wanting to be IDs now after a major change. Of course, I don't think it's a bad thing either for folks to want to migrate to our profession now that the interface is more viable and we have some desired function.

And this sentiment is exactly why Image Designers were given Stat Migration as an ability [and solely Image Designers]...

Odd twist of events...

Get a grip China, in time your beloved timer will be changed, or the xp per session will be increased and the lowly masses might have the chance to be MID one day, but thanks to the great minds at SOE, that day is not today, nor will it be tomorrow. They put a lot of time and probably a small amount of thought into this system, and I would guess they think they have given ID enough of their time for a while. They will prolly fix it so TKA's have to put in 5 mins of stretching before executing attacks, maybe 2.5 if they are in a camp before they get back to evaluating the changes they made to ID in any detail.
