Thread: Tuesday Tips August 9th Secret Smuggler's Handshake
Message Edited by Glzmo on 08-10-2005 11:58 AM
Alright, store the flamethrowers for a moment. We are all pretty mad about the lack of Smuggler content and the Devs attitude toward our concerns. This is pretty much common knowledge and can be found all over the Smuggler forum.
Butright now there is the question whetheraSoE employee has been violating a customers intellectual property, and I would very much like to hear a statement to this charge, and I think it would be a good idea if that would be more thanjust a legal discussion of the term "intellectual property". I am sure the EULA´s have this covered anyway, but the point remains. Does SoE approve disclosure of the ideas of one of its members without permission to do so?
So please hold your horses for a moment here - it would be a shame if the whole thread got deleted till we get a proper statement.

yes its a video game. but the thoughts and opinions of the people that are attached to the game SOE does not own. I have played this game for almost 2 years now (2 years in september) and i have never felt hurt or attacked before. Thunderheart OWES ME AN APPOLOGY. To ban someone for 7 days for the first offence then to post something IVE DONE as a tuesday tip is not just a conicindence especialy when it was the day that i got off my ban.
I thought they made it perfectly clear that they would start giving out administrative action on people that post "omg fu!" in bug and issue threads. As much as I love seeing "Bug: Smugglers can't smuggle" in every thread that a red name posts in, it's unneccessary. It makes it harder for everyone who does bug reporting because we have to wade through that crap.
You post something on the boards, and it's public domain. It's the same reason why the devs don't have a problem with people posting ideas for games on the forum, but they won't take emails. When you post, it's public domain. If you emailed it out to TH and he reposted it, you could have an argument.
TIGGS AND THUNDERHEART SAID "NO NEW CONTENT TILL THE BUGS ARE FIXED ALL THE PROFESSION WILL HAVE TO WAIT." yet the creature handlers got new content, hell they got a mini revamp.
CH didn't work and was pretty much fubared after the CU. I'd be more upset about the BH and Jedi revamps in your position, rather than the CH changes.

Ok as much as i have tried im not going to resist.
SMUGGLER HANDSHAKE!!!!!!
You kidding me right, after 2 years of not smuggling you think long term smugglers wouldnt take this as a personal joke against them?
2 YEARS!!!!!
Youve implemented jedi and the FRS as well as the village 2 publishs dedicated to jedi and we've yet to see some missions so we can do our namesake and we get a how to do a stupid secret handshake.
2 YEARS!!!!!
Dont you guys see how not being able to smuggle is a GIANT issue in the game right now and yet all the information which was released about the smuggling missions have been removed from the forums as if it wasnt there.
We were told "soon TM" was this just a fob us of or just a blatant lie?
Smuggler's pay the same amount of money as jedi and BH's why dont we see value for money, for that matter the other ignored professions in the game why dont they get attention?
I think after all what weve been told and how long the wait has been smugglers deserve answers, even if its what we dont like at least i will know whether or not to drop the profession, what about it anyone of you got the guts to tell us something/anything about the plans for smuggler's.
As for the slicing system it turned out to be not what was in-concept and considerably less fun than it sounded as a lot of smuggler's were looking forward to a mini game where we could tinker with weapons and armour and the nest slice would be the person who had the most skill not the smuggler who could find the most loot.
Smuggler in SWG = Massive disappointment
I cant believe anyone would be so insensitive with the Smuggler profession in the mess its it.
I do not normally flame but this has hit a nerve rubbing our nose in the dirt that the most useful skill we have is an emote! nice move!!
Come on TH

You may be happy to sit back and take what is offered to you. That is your choice. I prefer to look critically and feed my opinions back. That is my choice.
Its a video game.

I doubt any such charges would hold the water. Because said macro was posted in the past on a public forum. Defending copyright under those circonstances would be very hard to accomplish.
I would have to check but I would not even be surprised to find a line in the board EULA saying that everything written here become sole property of SOE blabala, I saw boards do this before, to protect themselves exactly from such a situation.
Since they deleted all the Smuggler's In Concept documents without a word to the community, i think they would. And i think this one is due to die. It will offend the propaganda machine.
I seriously wish John Smedley could know how i felt on reading that tip.
That was low, Kurt. You might not have meant it to be, but it was really, really low.
Try this:
/puke
That's what I think. Thanks for the "content".
I'm terribly sorry for the last post.
Did I say "/puke"??
I mean: /rude
nice move, genius. hey, i've got a tip that one profession likes to pass around as a secret. and you know what else? i'm going to post that it was given to me by one of the longest players of that profession (who just got banned) just to rub his face in it. excellent.
and for those of you who keep saying "well here's something for you"
(in case you're serious) smuggler already knew this. they just gave it away to everyone else.
i'm a new smuggler and i like the idea of being a smuggler (even if i can't smuggle atm). i haven't been in long enough to have the outright hatred of the devs, but i can definitely understand why the others are so upset. and then the morons decide to take something that was just a nice little thing that smuggler had to themselves..... i'm not sure i have the words. i'm just dumbfounded at anyone who would add a slap in the face to a profession they've already alienated.
