Fence Goods – allows them to sell goods anywhere in the galaxy

Heh, yeh, not sure on this one myself... I'm hoping it's illuding to something we can do as part of some Smuggling missions, although it seems to be listed under the combat specials.. maybe we defeat people in combat by confusing them with our prices?.. I don't know.




see... well just start switiching up measures from metric, to standard and back again, until their head is swimming then we kill kick them in the junk

wow not only can i post but thank god we smugglers are being funny on this topic. Nice to see some humour instead of all the flames and hate posts. As it stands i dunno....50/50 never was great at fps, not terrible but not a god hope theres stratergy. Hope theres smuggling if there is i'm there till i get bored. I will say SOE has big brass ones by doing this.....BIG BRASS ONES


In response to confusing enemys with prices perhaps we overload them with multiple by one get one free sales mixed in with 1/2 price sales and blue cross sales


or maybe it means were gonna be cheap bastiches and become tesco (love yer beans tesco, love yer beans)

I didn't see anything in those articles about Smuggler content, but simply adding a few combat skills. I feel we need to be able to smuggle more then we need more combat skills...
But I'm not holding my breath for any of these "enhancements". I'll believe them when I see it on TC.

Not sure I like the fact that they still don't really mention smuggling, but if Fence Goods is implemented right it could be very close.

Because it's not mentioned in the FAQ?

Call me crazy, but I love the sound of the new changes. I think this is SOE's way of manning up to the CU sucking eggs. At least they are finally admitting that the CU was a huge failure, and are taking steps to bring the fun back into SWG.


I also like the sound of the new combat...but then I'm an old FPS junkie.I can't wait until these new changes hit test... I'll probably go finish up grinding armorsmith just to make sure I have enough points for the respec, then I'll ressurrect my TC toon to join in on the testing.


It's hard to tell how much of this is actually change and not just BS corporate "we are changing things so don't leave and go join the new FOTM game coming out!" At least they are finallyrealizing that Smuggler should be an iconic profession.

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

i'm not an fps fan, i've never really like them. i'm actually pretty good at them, i'm just not a big fan.


i'll hold off any judgement on the gameplay. i don't like making comments without anything to back it up.


i'm still just upset over the whole /suckerpunch though.


man i hope this doesn't suck.

Most of all, i just don't feel happy playing a persistant game, where a large portion of the gameplay is devoted to gathering (stature, skills, credits, items) and having major upheavals every 6 months.

Sure, one can see things like slicing tools still not converted as minor things, but its only one case - I've still got bags of crap around like interwoven ris schems, uncallable pets (only on toons i don't play much), million credit weapons that i wouldn't wish a noob in eisley now... all sorts of of things that one spends time ammassing and getting attached to and this team - for whatever bigger picture reasons - just doesn't seem to pay much attention to this part of managing a game.

So the question I ask is do I want to 'live' through that kind of upheaval and work up from a clean slate again.
