Oh, and for one, I applaud the move to put it in the Stickies. Just a little Windex on the mirror.


If they can't stand looking at it, they've only themselves to blame.


I'm a fan of brutal honesty, so cheers, Electricnomad.

It's posts like this that caused to SOE to shut off public access to the forums. Not over emotional rants... just factual presentations of what they've done. I hope everyone that's considering picking the game up after the JTL announcement comes here and reads this thread.



One of the reasons I started paying for the game again was so I could get back onto the boards to see what had changed. Alot had changed, yet so little You're absolutely right, though, had I been able to view the boards and come here to the humble smuggler hideout, I would most definately not have bothered playing again.

I remember choosing smuggler because it sounded like an interesting profession and the devs had said that they would be fixing it, figured that they would need smugglers on TC to test the improvements. That was in August.

I've got a nice little PM typed up and saved in Notepad. Now, I'm just waiting to see the revamp plans before I decide whether or not to send it to JustG, TH, Q3PO, and anybody else witha red name that I can think of.


I think I'll add alink to this thread to it...

You know I remember readed every single one of those posts when they were originally written and getting excited about the changes to come. Oh so long ago some of those are. While I applaud you work...damn you for reminding me of these broken promises :-p

One neat new addition to Publish 7 is with the Junk Dealers. Smugglers who have underworld can now take their Junk to the Jawa Traders camp and they can sell their junks to the Jawas up there.

This still makes me laugh...


Electricnomad, thx for putting this together.


This is the Smugglers "End-Game" If this revamp fails, well... all is lost.

Wow, that was a painful read. I applaud you, EN, for your thorough research and for keeping your comments to a minimum, although I'm sure you were just about at the boiling point the entire time.

Same thing happened here. In fact I was just about to make a thread about how sad & whiney this once wonderful board had become and suggesting that we cut it out. Well, I've changed my mind. We have been given the ol' bait 'n' switch again and again.


Don't get me wrong, I love being a master smuggler and always will. Despite the fact that I couldn't hit a nuna with my pistol, it's a great title. But, crap, man.... this documented history is depressing at best

Well, now I can say that I am a true sucker to have kept my hopes up this long. Been playing since Beta and it just gets worse and worse. I can't say I will stick around to see the SE if the Smuggler revamp is a flop.


Hrrm, maybe all that wil change is the title in the Master box to Master Sucker and we all get a badge that looks like a big red lolipop.

LOL...



I tried to keep my hope low...really really low so that if/when the "revamp" flopped, I wouldn't be so disappointed. So far it's looking like I didn't keep them low enough
