I mentioned this to the focus group yesterday, but thought iwould poll you guys too. Does anyone else think that it's possible that the yhave already worked on us, and just aren't telling us?

It wouldn't be the first time they've done it. A recent example is all the utility droids in the DE revamp. The devs never said anything about the majority of them, then poof! they they were in the revamp.

They did briefly mention the "privateer" in JTL for nuetral players. Maybe this is a hint towards smuggler content in JTL, and then at the same time they throw ii into the ground based game too.

Also in the SOTG letter, Gattis mentions all the stuff they will be fixing with the combat balance. In there are skill mods, specials, combat roles, etc. This could easily include all of our combat related requests in our revamp doc.

So after those 2 things come out we are left with slicing/spicing, and not much else. That seems like a much easier fix then the whole doc we are proposing.

Beleive me, my optimism has worn quite thin, but SOE has a tendency to be sneaky with these sorts of things...and it is entirely possible. If anyone has a quote about the privateer from all the JTL news peices that would be great if you could post them here.

What do the rest of you think?

While I feel that they might address some of our issues in the combat balance, I think if they had made any significant progress on anything they would at least hint at it to Caylin, knowing that they have to throw us a bone based on the way they've treatedus.

Also, I don't have too high of hopes for the combat balance--given the scope and magnitude of the bugs in other professions, I think that we will be low in the pecking order since we are 'not a combat profession'.

Actually, I have high hopes for the Combat Balance simply because, like the whole Jedi thing, it is something that the seem to really care about.

As for the Smuggler Revamp, I don't know anymore. They keep pushing it back and delaying it more and more. Pretty obvious that we are more of an after-thought.

During the combat revamp they are supposed to be looking at specials so they should be doing something to the Dirty fighting line, doc buffs will be changed so there could be an effect on spices, and weapons and armour will be changed so there could be an effect on slicing. But don't keep your hopes up.

Yeah, they'll take our pistol specials and give 'em to the Image Designers.

I already know they worked on us in secret.

They did it when they nerfed panic shot...

And changed spice downers...

And... (Oh, heck...just fill in your favorite nerf here.)

I am confident they have, but the question will be if its soemthing Smugglers want. The Droid modules they added were okay, but the Trap module and the stimPack dispenser were ill-concieved. All in all, I think most DE were satisfied with the additions, but like you, they still want bug fixes and changes that just make sense.
