Bio Engineer Archive

I have not seen anything new on this board saying that the profession has improved, or it is getting more fun. From the day I bought the game I thought this would be a cool profession. So, let me have it. Is it worth doing?

Thanks,

The best answer any of us can give right now is..... "Maybe in a month"

When the cloning changes happen next month we could have us the best profession in the game. Just a waiting game for now.

If it even next mounth. No word at alll about anything.

I remember when I bought this game I thought the BE would be the gheyest position in the game.... I originally wanted to be a Bounty Hunter... I hit Novice after about 3 weeks of intense game play... Then I started getting burnt out on combat... Thats when I heard about the holocrons(mysterious music playing).... So I went to Naboo and got mine.... Guess what it said... BIO-ENGINEER!!!! I thought CRAP.... What could be worse than BE!!! Well... I have been a BE for about a month now and I have to say I am SO GLAD that I was wrong... Not only have I made quite a bit of money selling creatures.... But it has just the right amount of combat for me now... I may never hit Jedi because I am prob not strong enough to kill the dark troopers or the fosaken force drifters by myself anymore(yes I had creatures to help).... But the fun and friends I have made over the last month has more than make up for it... some people will say wait a month for the patch that may come out... I say go do it if you enjoy creature handling... I think you'll enjoy Bio-engineer.

Hey, I been gone for a wile. Was really looking forward to comming back and checking out all the new goodies for my smuggler. Last I heard Patch 9 was the revamp.

Oh'well...

At least nothing has changed (Other then GM has made some post)

Devs say "We are revamping the class, we need your feedback!"
Smugglers give page after page of great ideas...
Devs say "Great we are getting started on the revamp, as soon as_____ and ___ is done"

We got pushed back for the DE's
We got pushed back for the Chefs
We got told to hold on for Combat Revamp (That was also pushed back)
Now we have to wait for sometime post lightspeed

Here I was all excited to join back in to the Star wars world, what a pisser.

They pushed us some stuff that they might have given us with publish 9 (Might) but when the smugglers here saw it, there was a rather large riot.

Seeing the outrage the developers thought 'You know, we may want to delay this. They don't look to happy' and they did.

So we got a delay to be around publish 11...

Then in a mistakenly released State of the Game, we learned that smugglers were getting pushed back until after the expansion was released. The outcry caused alot of consternation and we now have something that has never happened in SWG history after beta.

Sure it may be a bit later than we thought, but now there is a great chance of it being everything we dreamed.

Amen. The delays have been positive in my opinion and the pay-off will be fantastic. The only thing I'm afraid of is when Smuggler becomes the FOTM oh well

Don't get me wrong.
I know the revamp will come, someday.
It's just that I feel the issues I have with the game are major, game killing, play stoping issues. I took a 10+ week break, hoping that some of my issues with the game would be fixed, or at lest looked at. I have played from day one. Started out to be a Smuggler, mastered a few classes along the way, but have always stayed a smuggler. I have never used a holocron, never wanted to play a Jedi. The issues with Jedi don't matter to me at all. Kind of baffels me how manny times Jedi have been worked on and still no smuggler revamp.

I have always tried to enjoy PvP, but the combat system in this game sucks. It has always been total BS that a running rifelman from 12m can kick my master smuggler/Master pistoleer behind. The Combat is high on my list of major flaws in the game. Still no combat revamp, just new droids. And don't forget the new food to revamp a class no one really wants to play. The new foods that destoryed my spice sales. Lots of new foods, some really great and usefull foods. Foods players wouldsn't leave the mission terminal without. How manny new spices have we had in all this time? Not a single one.

Now look, I don't want some hafe hearted, thrown togeather revamp that really offers nothing for the smuggler class (Ref: DE Revamp)I'm just sick of waiting.
