Hopefully this is where the Devs see our posts The changes to the DoT's are ""supposed"" to reduce the insane combat exp that was able to be gained, mostly through combat medic. But they have unfortunatly cause MANY problems..Devs please look at ALL DoT's again and hopefully call back that part of the patch until you see what you are doing. A diseased nuna ruins my day with disease cuz ever tic that is supposed to only wound me to the point of healing would be nice..to the point of OH **edit** i cant fight anymore i have to go yell for someone to cure disease cuz only doctors can do it.

i love how we're supposed to be grateful that we had a patch snuck up on us a day early. all the previous patches have never been announced, and i'm guessing because they all come with some kind of inevitable nerf thats the result of some poor decision making earlier in the developer's part. and a lot of people work extra hard to beat the patch along with the nerfs and the abundance of stuff that will be broken. so they finally throw the players a bone and 'communicate' to us the actually date of the patch. they even make sure we all see it in the login screen. now we're supposed to be thankful that you LIED? why not wait a day? 24 hours wont kill you, and it wont kill us. dont pat yourself on the back too hard, th. the right thing to do would've been to stick to the 12th, but you had to sneak it in to maintain control. yeah thx.

Tunderheart, I beg of you to consider this. Return the DoTs to prepatch, my character has been nerfed several times and this patch has come to the biggest shock to me, not only was my precious food nerfed but Master Swordsman, my pride and joy has been nerfed. Our DoTs used to be good, not commando good but good enough to make me proud to be a swordsman, I always thought that nothing could get me to quit swordsman but I think I have changed my mind, not only do we not have defense and affordable special costs, now we don't do damage any better than a ranged profession. Why are you torturing me so? Please, please almighty SWG developers, give me back my will to play the game.

Is there ANY reason to continue to be a rebel? Not only did the dev's give imps at-st's to farm kryat loot with, but now rebels are constantly harrased by npc's while imps are completely ingored. Where is the love? Have the dev's forgotten that maybe the rebel side needs some content?

Okay, So I have your support, that when the Smuggler Revamp comes, you will give up your right to carry and use Contraband freely wherever you want?


That's great to hear man. I hope the rest of Imperials will be as understanding as you.

Yeah about the time you actively petition for me to get my AT-ST back to normal so I can use it again on Dantooine and expect it to actually guard me.


What no? Thought so. SPAM somewhere else. You got a whole **edit** forum for smugglers take it there.

I wish these friggin smugglers would just get off it.


The imperials are in charge. Thus imperials are not the target of the crackdown.


Now lowly imperials need to be wary and guess what a lowly imperial smuggler would benefit over a lowly imperial droid engineer.


Now if your a reb. your in trouble unless you are a smuggler and the better the smuggler the better the odds of beating the scan (cant make much more sense than that).


Oh and if you group with a smuggler then you get a benefit (loadsa money for you there).


So stop your whining you whiney gits.

THUNDERHEART!!!!!!! PLEASE READ!


Several reportssay that holo's are broken and/or are disapearing.


Does this mean that the unlock system for jedi is halted? Meaning am I going to waste 2 or 3 more weeks grinding to find out there is no possibility of opening anyway?


If it is I dont have a HUGE problem with it, but I PROMISE that if I waste 3 more weeks of grinding to find out you all stealth nerfed and sat laughing while we grind some more I WILL cancel both of our accounts. I think we deserve to know...

"Oh and if you group with a smuggler then you get a benefit (loadsa money for you there)."


And for the nine MILLIONTH time this is NOT about money. This is not about "activities." How many times do I have to say that we really like the fact that rebels grouping with us get a bonus? How many times do I have to say that our complaint has NOTHING to do with the GCW, and that we realize this isn't a patch for us but for the GCW? How many times do we have to say that as far as the GCW is concerened smugglers could care less who gets what advantages? How many times do I have to explain the friggin' difference between an IN CHARACTER mechanic like the GCW and and OUT OF CHARACTER mechanic like professions? We don't give a rotten camel testicle that the Imperials will have an advantage in the GCW. That's fine by us. We just don't want our abillit to smuggle, no, our FUTURE abillity to smuggle, the very title of our **edit** profession jeoparadized by a GCW perk. This isn't about your silly war to us. This is about our profession. Have all the perks and benefits you like, just leave our profession out of it!


But why am I bothering? Why am I trying to explain this to you people? You guys don't care, just as long as you get to blow things up. The ONLY reason I've participated in this debate at ALL is so the developers would understand better WHAT we're so upset about. But it was for nothing. Here we are page 17 and TH has come in here TWICE, and what has he had to say about this 17 page debate? Nothing. Not one word. We've been patient. And constructive. We've gone through appropriate channels. We've tried every fair way we know to make sure the dev's hear us, and have tried to be mature and productive about it. They ignored us. Outright. I refuse to believe that TH didn't see ONE WORD of a 17 page discussion, that he had NOTHING to say, not even a "sorry, we'll get back to you." He just left us hanging. So I guess next time there's a problem we should just shut up and let it be a problem, or be like other professions and through temper tantrums calling him a liar and worse, so we get our attention. I guess following the lines of communication the devs have drawn and being mature and productive just isn't how one tries to affect change. Forget it, I'm out.

Songouki, can you do us a favor and post when your net day off is? I want to know when the next patch is coming out. J/K


I feel the pain too, I planned to go home at lunch and do some things in preparation for my SWG night tonight but could not. Oh well.


BTW everyone, if for some reason you need to go into one of 3 imperial cities in the galaxy adn dont want to get scanned, joni a PC on that planet, delcare your bank in the PC. Drop your illegal items (Spics, sliced wepaons and armor) in the safety deposit box, go into to town and pull them out of the safety deposit box. Taadaa! Magic.


ActullyI am looking forward to the scan, I usually dont use spice but happen to own 3 yarrock roots, 8 Tat Sunburns. I also have3 pieces of sliced armor and 3 sliced weapons in my inventory. I plan on taking my Imperial Staff Corporal self with 250 faction points and walking through the scanners for the fun of it.


On bribing, they should make that a radial option on thugs and ST's...it would be a great money sink and they can make you guess how much if you offer to little it failed and if you offered enough it worked.


Also, you can wear enhanced clothing and have no chance of sliced armor setting off the scans. Look around Star Wars and you dont see very many people wearing armor walking down the street in comparison to how many of us use armor.

A thought on the Imperial "Smuggling" perk. I believe as part of the imperial army of a sorts, any armor and weapons you carry should not garner a scan or a problem with STs. However Spice should get you caught. If you are non-imperial carrying weapons and armor then you should be scanned to see if they are standard versions or sliced.
