Thread: Smuggler forgotten again?

Last week we were promised some more information on the role of smugglers after the revamp. But on the promised day, many of us waited eagerly to see some more information.


In time honoured tradition it never came. We were forgotten.


Days passed and still people remained hopeful but I began to feel as if once again the profession was being left behind. I was assured by fellow smugglers that our neglect was due to the change to Bounty Hunters, and that once the developers dealt with that we would receive the attention we deserved. But now another week has passed and still, to my knowledge, no information.


As a profession we cannot allow this. We cannot be placated by promises of revamps, information and discussion when it does not arrive. Many of you have litterally squealed like 12 year old girls going to a concert at the slightest post by Greenmarine, but what do we have to show for it? Anything concrete? Any bug fixes?


Nope. Forgotten again.

A point I've tried to make repeatedly myself.


Thank you. After some of the responses I've gotten, I honestly thought I was alone in being tired of hearing "Keep giving us your money and maybe, someday."

"And you are suprised."


No. I'm not surprised. I saw it last week. Time and time again we've been placated with promises but as yet nothing has come to pass. So when I see Greenmarine come to the forums and posting double digit posts in 3 or 4 days I know it's not going to last.


I'm tired of hearing people screaming about how great the developers are now theyve come to fix us, blinded by the fact we haven't had one fix in over 8 months, despite being the profession most in need of attention.


But this was never intended as a "I told you so post" The fact that I did has no bearing.


This is simply to say that we have relaxed our grip on the developers, we have been nice, we have been patient, and they have repaid us by dissapearing again. This post is to say we cannot let this happen. It's time to get angry again and stop believing the outright lies they are feeding us. It is time to rally to the cause again.


Fix the profession devs.Either put up or shut up.

Yeah, this is deja vu of last November when we were promised a dev to immediately work on Smuggler issues...


I thought Greenmarine was going to start a new thread to continue discussions. What happened to it?

Excerpt from Ryan's future post right after GM finally comes back to tell us stand by for some more future ideas that are tentative and probably won't happen:


"GM I want to have your babies!! We luv you so much, thank the SWG gods you've come to us to save the day! take all the time you need cuz I know its gonna be perfect when you've finished it! Again I say, I love you!!!"



I kid, I kid! sry dude, i couldn't resist.

I have given up on a fix,revamp or any love at all. All I do now is sit back and enjoy the game with what I have. I still have fun even with a broken profession. If noting comes of the JTL then I will just move on to a new game. I hear that the lord of the rings on-line game will be quit nice.

This is why I dropped smuggler, maybe they will fix it someday, I won't pay and wait. If I am still here and they do it right, I will come back, otherwise I will either have fun with another part of the game or with another game (which won't be another SOE game.)

Unless it has changed none of the changes to smuggler were coming till after JTL. I wouldn't get upset unless the revamp doesn't come. And personally I don't think smuggler is broken. It isn't what I would have thought a smuggler would be doing but it is working.


Just hurry up and wait. It'll come.

I'm too frustrated to even get angry anymore...


I'm just counting down the days until Aug. 11 when my account expires.

Bronski. You're missing the point.


Although none of the fixes were promised until after Jump to Lightspeed, discussion was promised immediately. We were supposed to be getting new information last week and it's turned out to be another lie.


What I want to know is when after Jump to Lightspeed. February is after Jump to Lightspeed, 2006 is after Jump to Lightspeed, SWG2 is after Jump to Lightspeed.


I want the answers that were promised to us now, not the fixes that were promised to us later bringing forward.

I hate to say it but it might be time for that Feign-in atour thead Star Ports. After all it did work for the Wookiee's and we have been one of the most understanding communitys for far to long.
