Thread: Why are we getting a mission revamp and the smugglers are getting squat?

because smugglers have last ditch and are unwilling to give it up.
the BH's are a little different, when the subject of the changes to the missions came up, several reasonable voices chimed in after recognizing the need for change....those that were countering the arguement, for the most part, ended up being proof that the system needed to change.
when smugglers are willing to give up 1hit incaps (which should be prettysoon) they'll get the code that is already in development

Who got Feign Death Nerfed? ill give you a hint it wasnt The Jedi. Jedi were using it in battle and the Bounty Hunters Cried and got it nerfed
Funny thing is FD was in game for about a year without it getting nerfed. It was not until JEDI used it to escape BH death that it got nerfed.
The funny thing to me it that this thread was about a BH saying that SMUGGLER should have gotten love before our newest love but yet a JEDI stuck his nose in here and started a flame war. You guys can't stand when other people get stuff, or even when other people think some one else should have gotten something.

a bit like the combat medics, they were uber until they found they could take down a full temp jedi and then they were nerfed.

Why must it always be a conspiracy theory? It is as simple as I was working on BH/Jedi missions and ran a few NPC missions and went "Wow, these are lame, Why would anyone want to do these?" So I came into work over a weekend and made some new challenging Marks, created some new loot, and re-itemized.
It was as simple as something was lame, I thought I could make it better, andfixed it up in my freetime.
Not everyone is about the PvP game, and even those that are like a bit of respite from it every now and then. Plus withnice new loot on there, who wouldn't want to kill some Marks?
you, sir, deserve a smiley.... 
as for the conspiracy theory, we're human, on behalf of all of us, at some point or another,sorry bout that.
And thanks, good to know you care enough to come in on your free time and do something positive, you've made alot of people happy, even if quite a few don't know it yet.

Man, this community is pathetic. If I was in Blix's shoes, I'd consider quitting (or at least avoiding your professions) just so none of you children got any fixes.

A-fricking-men.
A dev took their OWN STINKING TIME on a weekend and made something nice. And still people gripe, moan and complain...and they're the ones he did it for.
Why didn't he fix this bug or that exploit? It was his OWN TIME. He was free to do whatever the hell he wants to. You kids need to grow up.

That fact that you had BOTH jedi and bh complaining meant that you were getting close to a balance in the system. Don't you understand that?
Ugh!!
Disagree
Its like in politics; if there is something that neither the Republicans nor Democrats really like then it's prolly good for most people.
I have watched gamers throw absolute fits over misspelled words. Over the color of a piece of armor. Over a 2% damage mitigation bonus in a PVE GAME. Over a 3% damage dealing bonus that one of their groupmates has over them.
Gamers are quite often selfish, self-seeking, self-centered, arrogant little prigs who feel they're entitled to everything.
wow a lot of imature and spoiled children posting.
And then ppl beg for more dev comunication, what dev will want to post in a place like this? I sure wouldn't

I have to underline this as a Jedi who never went SF unless forced by FRS.

This isn't even one of our top 5 issues and its been addressed. This stinks. Smugglers were promised missions about 6 months ago and all they got from there "revamp" was a slicing systems that was changed 3 days before going live.
Jedi are the most hated profession ingame by the majority of professions, because of there constant attention, but recently I noticed alot of hostility towards bounty hunter because of the "attention" we are recieving.
I am beginning to wonder if this is the start of a master plan by SOE to takeaway player hatred from the jedi and place it on the BH's.
If we continue to get things we don't ask for while glaring exploits, bugged ridden professions and broken promises of revamps, many more professions will turn on us.
What really is bugging me though is if the development wants to show us love, why not combat one of our top issues like
- Offline missions showing up in huge numbers on mission terms
- Droids on Kashyyyk not tracking or giving names
- None of our states stick on a regular basis in PvP
All that will happen after this patchis ALL jedi alts and None PvP players will respec to MBH in the hope of looting some pearls or a cash cow, seeing a massive increase in our profession, again making smugglers, squad leaders, rangers, entertainers, etchate us.

It doesn't..... :-P But it helps!!
I am a Smuggler who would like to Smuggle (and it be interesting challenging/engaging/changing). But I wait, their have been some nice improvements in the game.... I stopped complaining as a Smuggler years ago... Well, maybe year ago is better...... But none the less, i figure eventually they have to do something with it......Thanks for changing the BH missions to be better. I am a BH also!!! :-P

I wish people would actually read what Blixtev had to say instead just jumping onto him because he got a red forum handle and did not improve what they feel needs improvement asap.
If somebody takes away from his free time to do something for the game, it does not matter what he does. He deserved to be thanked for it, just because he chose to sacrifice his free time to improve the game everybody wants improved. And nobody should demand more. So...
Thank you, Blixtev
That sums it up nicely.

Infinite seeker droid was fixed because Blix was finally told about it. This bug had been around for 23 months. It benefited us, but the DE profession hated it. This was a fair change. We also get more droids per crate and more charges per droid. This is a good change for us. Blix has apparently been cleaning up some things while he was changing the Jedi missions and bh mission difficulty level.
Adding good loot tomaster level is something I really like.While it's true that smugglers still get nothing, we've hadvery little dropfrom master level marks for 2 years (at one point we were getting feed mechs and capacitors frequentl, but eventually that stuff rarely dropped). Pre-publish 21: Ooooh, 518 credits that makes it so worthwhile. Post-publish 21: Wow, that mark had 35k health, took 5 minutes to kill,and dropped a bounty hunter armor schem, a mandalorian intraframe, and 1021 credits. Kind of makes me want to hunt some NPC's. It's about time the master level NPC missions were made fun and challenging.
