Yes, and the Smuggler Revamp has been delayed until Publish 11. I *ALWAYS* believe what the Devs tell me...
No, the smuggler revamp will be after JTL goes live...I mean, after the CU, I mean in July 2005, I mean...hey look LAVA LIGHTSABERS!!! Isn't that cool?

If droids cant go to a spot, then it is geared towards Jedis. Period. Really they shouldnt pick on bounty hunters. I here rumors about Darth Vader and Obi Won curbing the jedi population, yet they gear two expansions toward jedis. Our droids need to work on these new planets. If not, then dont allow Jedi's to be given XP on either planet. ANd make their drop rate for loots lower than non-jedis. ANd if they dont like this, then let our droids be able to work. Yes, jedi's if they are supposedly so great, shouldnt think its too big of a deal to have an extra worry or two. Let the game be a challenge to them.
Ermm...you have any clue what you are talking about? drop rates lower for jedi..hmm..that's kinda ridiculous since BH's already have exclusive access to high end loot at a great drop rates i say if anything BH's already get good loot they should be the ones with the nerfed drop rate on the new planet. Droids don't work on Kash for one simple reason. Coding. IFthe new planet follows the same zoned format the same coding will stop the droids. It's not designed to be a safe haven for jedi. It was that the coding could not be done to allow the droids to work with the zones. Jedi's aren't great..we are nerfed to he11. Most of our sabers are gimped and our healing timers are greater than any other healing profs timers. Even Non Medics can heal faster than Jedi with the use of Stims and Ruby Bliel. Then the Extra worry or 2? Jedi are the only prof with any risk in this game. We talk about a risk vs. reward system and right now we are all risk with no to little reward. Bh's on the other hand are all reward no risk. Your last sentence needs to be directed inward to your prof.
Sorry for what seems like an attack..not meant to be. I just wanted to take a minute to respond to a few of the statements made in your post.
From the chat log:
*Kroen* Will Mustafar be an all open planet like all other planets (except Kashyyyk)??
Mustafar will not be set up zoned like we did with Kashyyyk, though it also won't be identical to older planets. The planet will be smaller than an older planet with some geography direction as was done on Kashyyyk though it will feel more natural this time with a blocked path represented by a sheer cliff or a deep ravine.
This is more or less a confirmation that the droids will work if the devs just add the planet to the droidssearch function, the zone system from Kashyyykwon't be there sothat won't hinder the droids from finding the jedi.
The only thing that probablycould hinder them is if there is any instanced dungeons on the planet.

The line about zones hindering proper use of droids is just Developer BS - and sadly, people are buying it.
A probe can find a player on another planet (guess what? that's a different zone!) and so there's no reason that it can't tell you what zone the target's in.
Does /findfriend work if the friend is in a zone? If so, there's no reason a droid shouldn't. Fact is, the Devs didn't want BHs to be able to hunt Jedi on Kashyyyk - they wanted to cultivate the Jedi population, that's why they market it so heavily.
Got it in one there. Nothing is impossible in the coding - if te devs can create a game this large and diverse then a little bit of coding which will count the diferent zones as different planets would fix the issue. Either the devs are lazy, too busy creating more bugs or they are making the new expansion pack that costs people money valuable to jedi. And to the joker who said that only bh get the high end loot i say this - the corvettes are still too hard for many groups, DJM are almost impossible to anyone except jedi, most of the other high end creatures like the ancient krayt are impossible to most people except jedi and if you look at the latest stats on the professions, bountyhunter is the most common, that is including the jedi as seperate professions (of course) and so the market is getting flooded and so the prices are slowly dropping. Oh and you claim that non-healers can heal better than jedi? BS - if a non-healer can heal at a certain rate using ruby bile and stims then so can a jedi by using ruby bile and stims - the only difference is that the jedi have better abilities in attack and/or defence (depending on template).
