Thread: So, will we complain about smugglers?
Two words for ya ---- FEIGN DEATH
It sucks bad. Anyone who has been a BH for awhile will remember when Jedi had it as part of their temp as the were grinding their toon.
Secondly, since their goal is to deliver the goods and get paid, they arent going to be interested at all in fighting us, They will run so fast and so much it will make Jedi seem easy to find.
Thirdly a LARGE portion of the player base has indicated via their whines on these forums that they do not want challenges, that they mush have everything delivered to them on a silver plate. SMugglers will want to get paid with no hassle involved, BHs will want to kill marks with no hassle. I think some of ya would be happiest if the mark laid down outside the front door of your house and ripped open their armor and said "kill me please Mr BH, I deserve it and j00 can have all my ph4t l3wt5"

I hope smugglers are weaker but have lots of escape and evasion tactics. I hope it dosnt resort to house sitting but rather a chase around the galaxy. Ability to hide in a crowd in busier cites would be cool.

Without a doubt.
Gamers (notice, I said gamers, not BH's, not Jedi, not Smugglers, gamers) especially forum-dwelling gamers, are generally speaking the whiniest creatures on the planet.
They'll whine about the color of the sky, and then whine when you change it, even if you change it to the exact same color they whined about wanting it to be.
They'll whine that something's too easy.
They'll whine that the very thing is too hard.
They'll whine about how tough something is to PVP.
They'll whine about not having enough of that very same target to fight in PVP.
You want solid evidence for entitlement syndrome's existence? Look no further than your average MMOG forum poster.

If we implement “BH hunting smugglers” then you will opt into the system. Only PvP missions can possibly put you on the terminals.
Two words for why hunting Smugglers is going to be annoying.
Feign Death.

Yes, BHs will complain about smugglers escaping and house-sitting.
Not really.Even though very little info is available, it sounds like the PvP active Smuggler missions (i.e. the ones that result in the smuggler ending up on the terms) are entirely voluntary (not like Jedi vis).

I will say right now that when this does come up i will role play opropriately depending on what side i'm on. I will get a mission and tack down a smuggler and try to kill him, If he runs i will understand because i myhself am a smugler. Which brings me to the other side.
If i am hunted andi get a shot in my macro will pretty much be this:
/Cuncussionshot
/rolf
/burstrun.
Granted this might make us mad if done to us as a hunter, but we have to understand smuglers aren't jedi and are supposed to get out of these situations any way possible.
and then concussionshot will be nerfed. If you come up with an effective way to ward off BHs pretty much everytime, then that way will be nerfed.
Oh, while I'm here I might as well add this as well.
Pub 24. and the expansion suck a$$, for every profession.
