Thread: Smuggler Revamp Delayed

We actually read the boards more than most think. This is a really important issue and to do it "right" needs more raw development time and more community input....
The new foods from the chef revamp were designed by the dev team.
The new droid modules were announced a few days before they hit TC.
The few changes they announced for the Jedi so far came from them again and were strongly resisted.
The crafting patch....
Theres so many things and never does the community input matter. So far I have only experienced that they implement something and after a torrent of criticism and complaints they revert it. A genuine try to communicate and work with the community has yet to be seen.
But oh well, hope dies last.

as everyone knows now, in SW episode IV timeline, Jedi is being more important than smuggler.
Well time to cancel my account until publish 11 comes out.
Oh and I dont believe the revamp will be anything good anyway
the game was already dead and pointless before hologrinding came. hologrinding was just the most stupid thing the devs ever did in this game.
hologrinding should never have been in the game. its just a shame they dared to implement it in game and now make us lose 2 to 3 month to remove it from swg!
What can I say? I'm speechless, I really am.
The *ONLY* good news here today is that instead of stuffing that poor excuse for a revamp down our throats they're going to give us more of the regular everyday nothing, and that's really, really sad. You shouldn't be smiling and saying thank you, really, you'll only encourage them to do this to someone else.
If you went out and say bought a car, you'd expect to be driving it home right? Not if you bought it from SOE; You'd probably end up walking home with 2 buckets of paint and a hand full of odd sized bolts. After a few months, they'd probably promise you a frame and some tires, but when it comes time to deliver, you wouldn't get said tires because they didn't have enough time to make them round. Naturally you'd be happy you didn't get square tires shipped to you, but all the same, all you have of the car you paid for is two buckets of dry paint and some useless bolts. Two months later, you hear back from them and your tires are en-route to your house...When they get there, guess what, THEY'RE SQUARE! Good thing they didn't ship the original square ones right?
So yet again, we get pushed to the back burner and take it up the tail pipe. Thanks SOE, really; I was starting to think positivly about you again, and once again, you sovehementlyprove to me that I was wrong in doing so.
Yeah, I know, 1 star for me.
PS: is it really so hard to code the 75% PvP damage reduction for CM poisons? We've kinda been waiting on that one as long as smugglers have been waiting for a revamp.
There has been a lot of talk about player smuggler bounties, but I have a problem with that, mainly because of the fact that I'm a Wookiee. Now maybe after the other 2 Wookiee armor types are in the game, this won't be such a big problem, but right now the Wookiee race can't beat virtually anyone in PvP. Having a badass bounty hunter coming after me might be more immersive and exciting, but it would also make me dead...

I am proud of ya TH.
I cannot begin to thank you for taking the current plans back and rethinking it. I may even change my sig.....
Now, please take this time and use it. Increase your communication with this community, both directly and through Caylin. There are a ton of great ideas floating around in this forum, and we'd like to help as much as we can to make this revamp, and the game as a whole, as good as it can be.
Can I just ask what percentage of the population is jedi and why should it take precidence over one of the core elite professions that has been promissed an update since the release of the game? You know for the longest time my desire for this game to work has far out weighed the issues that prevent most people from playing anymore. That desire dwindles significantly with things like this. The patch although medocre at best was on a schedule and although minuscule at best was still going to be here in 6 weeks now we wait for publish11??
I am not a happy smuggler
