5 is actually an underestimation, there are probably 5 masters in my PA alone. Its hard to say exactly how many because of holo grinding.

Man, I don't even play the regular game anymore. Why would I play a test version and go through the grinding hell again? I don't have time to do that. I'll be happy to test things out if they let me port my character over JUST with his skills and clothes, but grind up again? Forget it. They ain't paying me enough to do that.


Besides, we still have to even START discussing the revamp with the devs before ANY of this is relevant. If the revamp will consist of bug fixes or new spices and a new weapon, I won't be playing the game any longer anyway, so why bother testing?

Heh, I would be all over it if they instituted character copy. However, I, like many others, don't have time to make another master smuggler. I've got my current smuggler to maintain, CoH beta here in about a week, school, and job hunting. Doesn't leave much time for grinding another toon.

Hey all,


Just a word of advice...but start making smugglers on the test center.


With chefs, when our revamp came, there were few master chefs on the test center. It think there was about half a dozen. Which meant there was a dozen of us to test the entire profession. There was stuff we missed, which is a shame because while it is on the test center, it is the easiest time to get things change.


When smuggler gets a revamp, it will be on a test center for a few weeks and that will be the best time to tell the developers what you like and what you don't like. If you want to be able to check out the new stuff before it goes live, I would start working on your characters now.


Just some friendly advice from somebody who has been through a revamp.






Thanks for the great advice SirVimes, and thanks for looking out for us. But it took me over six months to Master Smuggler on live, so I don't think I would make it in time. :/

course, you would be assuming that the high level testing would actually be going to TC like they're claiming it will, and not to a TC-Frog like they always end up doing.

I played smuggler during the beta, and I started playing a smuggler full time a few month after it went gold (gave it a few month to polish... the irony ) and I have been a master smuggler for 2 years now.


Hell yes I will be on testcenter, need to get so many question answerd like.


Will my pre-cu DE-10 survive YET another revamp. I was lucky that time (max dam 1002, 1152 w/pup) will I be as lucky now? after all 140 hours spent & 7 "failed" de-10's before that.


Will my RIS with about 120M worth of AA/CA becume a museum piece? who knows, I sure don't, I can only hope for a: NO!


The poor crafters! no item decay AT ALL? well that says bye bye to ADK's and how come "trader" is modelled after Lando? Lando was a fullblooded smuggler/gambler that during a sabacc game won cloud city... that's how much he was a "trader". He was bloody forced into it


...and about a gazzillion other questions.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.

Holy Slice Gods!


My man Solo4114 is back! This must be the end of SWG!


But on another note, what's this about TC going into stasis? Last time I was on TC was for the CU. And I want to roll with this. Should I wait for a NGE server to open, 'cause this is going to be LOUD!

I have to admit though, it was timed well... had me fooled pretty well as you can see by the edit.

Took me a couple posts to figure out was necro'd. I was thinking there were an awful lot of Blue Glowies posting in the same thread all of a sudden
