I think the devs are not quite telling us the truth. I think the Smuggler revamp will be part of the SE, not separate before hand. I have been right on other threads like this before and am willing to bet the same here. So just save this thought for another time.


And I apologize for my negativity, I have played a Smuggler since FarStar began and a Bounty Hunter on Scylla before that (and still do from time to time). It just bothers me that the 2 most starwarsy professions, aside from Jedi, get so little love.


And I still dont think they have gotten droids right btw.

It could happen. But I think if they put in Player Smuggling and a HUGE HUGE HUGE Revamp that make a lot of space use smuggling it would be worth it

I agree .^^^


But the smuggler isnt going to jiped pre-expansion . They are going to revamp our profession and we might get revamped in preperation for the SE . So we might have a few things we cant even use intill the SE . Thats what im betting is whats going to happen .

Well it looks like I was right and wrong back in May. Its taken as long as the SE to come out, but we still are broken and will be past that release. Which is astounding and horrible all at the same time.

How do you know this? There are no signs at all of this happening. Most signs point to July of next year *maybe*..

Those quotes were back in May, I brought the post back from the dead to prove a point. I new we were gonna get screwed then, and should have pushed them to do our revamp when they had promised, which was what Pub 8 or 9? I can't even remember anymore.

Ok, this is the truth as I see. Perceived truth however may not be fact so be advised.


  1. Smuggler Revamp:


    • Where we would get actual smuggler content.

    • ETA: Sometime after JTL Launch and Combat Revamp.


      • Correspondent is optimistic and thinks around February of 2005 as opposed to September of 2005. This is not a time given by SOE, this is a correspondent best-guess given facts and information I have accumulated. Can easily be wrong and probably will be.


  2. We will not get a revamp any sooner than after the Combat Revamp and JTL launch.


    • JTL and Combat Revamp areSOE's #1 priorities at this time.

    • GreenMarine - He is working on JTL virtually 24/7and when that workis done, I am told he will be working onSmugglers ASAP.

    • Protests demanding an earlier smuggler revamp, etc are not going to get us any closer to our revamp. Don't waste your time with them.


  3. JTL is not a smuggler revamp.


    • Don't expect your smuggling role to dramatically improve or for that matter exist in the first place at thelaunch of JTL.

    • Mechanics are there to allow for a smuggling role in the future, not at release.

    • We will have room to grow as the expansion grows and our Revamp approaches.

    • JTL kicks ass in many ways, and there is room for roleplaying though we do not specifically have something to do as aSmuggler profession. We will have to wait for that. Yes I'm aware I'm repeating myself, I'm doing it to make this abundantly clear.


  4. Combat Revamp:


    • We do have a place in the combat revamp so many of our skills and role in combat will be looked at and changed.

    • Many changes to our skills will take place during the Combat Revamp.


      • If it affects combat, it will be affected by this revamp. This includes other skills smugglers possess that have some relation to combat and items used in combat.

I don't think I've broken any rules with what I've said here, so knock yourselves out.

So does that mean spices will be getting changed too in the combat revamp?

Hmm do people use spice in combat? Or for combat? Then chances are it would get some attention.

See the highlighted above? I completely disagree with this. Enough is enough already. We shouldn't have to wait til after JTL or the Combat revamp. We were told it would be right after Pub 10, which would mean now. This isn't happening, why should we just let it slide another 6 months. Will anyone even be here in Feb 2005?


Star Wars = Jedi, Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, Droids - Yet these 4 things are still messed up in this game. I personally don't care about the combat revamp as much as these 4 things. Yet here we are 14 months later and no love.
