I remember when we were going to get a revamp during the summer, and I mean the beginning of the summer. But it got pushed back (and I never saw that coming). My question is, is there a hard/soft/jello-like date for a smuggler revamp, or is this just another worthless wait for something that is never going to happen (an activity I have mastered in the near year of playing this "game")? I want to believe that sony has any plans to do this, but it being sony (a company I am so impressed with I can't be bothered to capitalize their name) I won't hold my breathe. Anyway, just curious.

There's no date from the devs (seems they've finally comprehended their utter inability to meet self-imposed deadlines), just that it'll be after JTL and the combat balance. I've heard reasonable guesses of anywhere between February and June. I think Caylin's even estimated it'll come out on the early side of that.
I, of course, except to be three centuries dead before I see it.

Yep, far too many important things for them to do first.........like new emotes.
Surely you can understand why that is far more important than the knife/crate problem?

I think we'll get our revamp sometime after they get around to the following:
1. Fixing Imperial hats.
2. Tinkering with Jedi.
3. Jump to Lightspeed.
4. Tinkering with jedi, again.
5. Combat Rebalance.
6. Still Tinkering with Jedi.
7. Jedi! Jedi! Jedi!
8. Realizing there's too many Jedi for this time period.
9. Tinkering with Bounty Hunter.
10. Combat Re-Rebalance.
11. Still trying to fix Imperial hats.
12. Creating Rebel Hats.
13. Image Designer Revamp.
14. Smuggler revamp.
Something like that. Either way, you're smugglers, slice into SOE and speed things along. Or use your connections to get a job there. Or hook them up with some Neutron pixie. And if all else fails... feign death.

I've come to the conclusion that there are some among the Dev-Team that would like to Ignore us until we seem to forget about this whole revamp business (COUGH). A skewed perception at best, cause even though ignoring problems may make them go away in the short term, in the long term they just keep coming back, and in this case it annoys the community in no small way.
At the same time though there are some who would actually like to see it done.. how this will work out on the dead-line only time will tell... lots of time.

I tried that, unfortunately it became a damage slice, so I guess I'm to blame for the auto-pull being gone...

Please be careful, a speed slice might help us, but if you put a damage slice on it, they'll do even more damage to this profession than they have done within the last year.

As a guy playing two toons (Ranger on Eclipse, going Smuggler/Pistols on Wanderhome) I seem to be drawn to proffessions suffering from permanently delayed revamps. The Ranger proffession was, according to developers "incomplete at launch". They then promised a revamp with new camps and a couple new abilities...that was early August, 2003.
So I feel your pain. Keep your heads up, once JtL and all the glowy popsicle stuff (Jedi) get completely fixed, I'm sure they can get around to making 1/4 of the changes they promised before ignoring you for another 14 months, just like they did to the Rangers.

The global schedule:
- Jump to Lightspeed (October 29)
- Combat Balance (end of 2004)
- GCW / Smuggler / Squad Leader (early to mid-2005)

I tried that a while back, but my slice resulted in increased damage and they revamped chef making spice useless, and then we had to start taking tools from crates.
Sorry guys, I swear, slices are RANDOM!
