Loads of posts here, loads of different opinions. I was wondering if we could condense what we know for certain concerning the 'Smuggler revamp'.


Just so we can keep on top of rumours etc.


Thanks.

Summary of what we know about the Smuggler revamp:


Not a **CENCORED** thing...


Seriously, they're not telling us anything except to say "After JtL." So, sometime the day after never, we'll know something.

  1. The smuggler revamp should happen after JTL and the Combat Revamp.

  2. GreenMarine is supposed to be assigned to Smugglers after JTL.

That covers just about everything we know concerning our revamp and is of course, subject to change.

I'll be honest boys and girls now is the time for them to be testing this stuff during the beta and those of us in it are begging every day. Can you guess what the answer is....?

Not a friggin thing!

This is getting to the point of being a FU! to all of us in the community. Quite honestly if I hadn't gotten the beta invite I wouldhavebeen gone already.


I think its about time we started sending good old GL emails and letters about how we have been consistently FUBARD for the last 15+ months. I mean after all what the hell were they thinking "lets fix the Leia's hairdresser, F*** her husbands job?"

Good start there. So we know combat revamp will happen first, and GreenMarine will be in charge of it soon. Hopefully we can get a GM post here too. If we keep this thread sensible and 'constructive', as it's started out in the first few posts, we may be able to learn something here. (Keep the flamers to other threads....I'm tired of wading through bumph and /bumps! lol).


Thanks again so far. Anyone got anything else to add , anything about the 'uber own-weapon slice' idea? That seemed to be an almost solid idea a few weeks back...anything coming from that?

Now I know why Han and Chewie are just standing around in Nym's Cantina, and not doing anything, lol


On another note, I'd REALLY like to see something like getting to choose the type of slice added to Master. We are the only profession, other than politician I think, that has no additonal skills or mods at master. And I'm sure it's been said many times, but it really seems like a Master Smuggler would know what he's doing, and how to choose and do a particular slice. And I'd like to see a higher percentage chance for really GOOD slices at Master, as well.

I fear the revamp will come, when all the good old smuggler from the first days quited in frustration and anger. I also fear that day is not that far away. *sigh* Naturally before that day they will nerf us to the ground every now and then. Next step will be the FD-Nerf. Instead of not alowing Padawan any Marksmanskills, they'll kill our last working Combatskill. *shrug*


btw: I like your sign SharkBoy007. Let's see how long you will keep it when somebody from SOE stumbles about one of your posts.

True about the slices mate. I think the only master thing we get is understanding Lekku and Jawaese.


Another interesting item I remember reading was concerning a smuggler mission terminal, whereby there was a chance to keep a percentage of the stuff to be smuggled, at a cost of lower payout. This was also going to lead to BH on your tail if you mucked up a mission.


Caylin, any thoughts on that, as you must have read those posts (I think we all feel your pain at having to wade through a lot of that crap mate!)

Thanks. To be honest, I was surprised to get a beta invite, what with that signature I almost changed it, but thought, nah, I'll wait to see how long I can keep it, lol.

Anyone got any input concerning spices? Has someone heard a little bird say that they are gonna be more useful...ie justifying their illegal status, or is that just a whistling in the wind, part of the rumourmill on the smuggler forum? Be interesting to hear the latest idea from the devs,just to give us a taster. There must be something flying around that the spice part of the revamp can / will spring from.


(How many posts did you say there were Caylin? My brain started to melt thinking about that....kinda like Joey from Friends doing mental arithmetic)!!!

Well when I was at the summit there was a brief blurb about spices. Long story short, spicesshould be adjusted in strength at the combat revamp.
