It also saves the SWG Economy.


Many CRaft/Combat hybrid players can still do what they do... AND People who never tried crafting before now have a reason to!

We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class.So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change.If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Please note: the announcement says "in the coming months".


I mean, if anybody here should know how to take an announcement like this, it's the Smugglers

Yeah. Technically June 4th, 2056 would fall into the "in the coming months" category.


But I bet this really chafes the Jebay.

Hmmm... I just reactivated a canceled alt to make him an NGE noob. I wonder if I should hold off on leveling him.

chances are they're going to do it soon, but spread it out, so they don't kill their DBs.

They probably also want to give everyone a chance to sort their sh*t out for those who have many alts already or lots of characters spread across many servers.

Plus, they are KIND of busy right now.

So I won't hold the obtuse answer against them immediately.

Of course not, lol I just wonder if the rest of the community knows what that phrase really means. Long-term implementation and all.

While I guess it's something, and I don't mean to **edit** in anyone's cereal, but I don't want a second character, I want to change my profession at will.

Ya know, like I can now.




Bug fixes. Heh! Smuggling. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things.

My SWG Observations

If they stopped the expansions for one year and gave quality revamps to the professions that need it most, many people would resubscribe.
With all the resubs, and the new players, there would then be plenty of money to hire enough people to do 2-4 quality revamps per year plus 1-2 larger expansions per year and/or 2-4 smaller expansions per year, and not give the BigWigs a pay cut. (Possibly even an increase)

Well


They stated that the CURRENT Hardware cannot support 2 per Player per Server


With the Jedi unlocks, they could scale the upgrades, a couple dozen unlocks a day is easier to plan for.


To Double the size of the DB at 1 shot means they will have to do some major upgrades first. That is why your friends are made to suff.. uh, I mean, thats why it will be a couple months
