This needs to be stickied. I'm trying really hard to be the voice of reason, patience, andhopeuntil after the combat upgrade, but looking forward to the future doesn't mean we should let anyone forget the crimes of the past.

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Give smugglers some escape skills in the Underworld tree, while giving BH some humanoid trapping skills. Smugglers should get a TEF everytime they slice..that way you are forced to do your work in seedy back rooms and basements.


Damn Devs..THROW THEM A BONE!!!






Well, actually, we're not murderers, we're independant frighters, we're not kidmappers either, we're a kind of cab driver, we're not thieves, we're profiteers. Yes we do break the law sometimes, but no, we are not responsible for every trouble in the galaxy. We gamble, we carry, we modify, we lie, we sometimes deal drugs or weapons that we shouldn't, but don't call a smuggler a mafioso, breaking the law is not our vocation, we just do business, if we have to go around certain rules, we may do, but knowingly, and we would prefer not to. The only law that really defines us is "It's not forbidden to do something illegal, it's forbidden to be caught doing something illegal", a good smuggler is someone that nobody knows, not someone that is feared by everyone








Too true kgmkiorys- all too ofter a smuggler is operating in the grey areas of the law- where the goods we are moving are legal where we get them, but not where we take them.The starwars galaxy contains hundreds of thousands of sytsems- you can be sure that whatever your doing is against the rules somewhere, so a smuggler just decides which lawsare not reasonable, and need to be 'bent' to facilitate intergalactic trade.



If one guy calls you a Hutt, ignore him. If a second calls you a Hutt, begin to wonder. If a third calls you a Hutt, buy a drool bucket and start stockpiling spice

Agreed, needs to be stickied, because it is needed information for all new smugglers, and according to Garva's clarified forum guidelines, bumps will be deleted, and bumpers may be suspended/banned.

This is the most daming thing I have seen said about SWG yet, and all of it from the developers themselves.


Does TH just make this stuff up? It appears that he does.

Just thought I'd "look" at this again since I've seen a couple new people asking questions again lately... By the way, there was a post on another forum that said Garva is passing out warnings for bumps... don't know if it's true or not, that's why I'm "looking" at this again.



"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

Hmm, why is that not stickied still? Dev's trying to let it quietly die or something? Oh well, I think it should be bumped continuously until it is re-stickied or our profession is revamped, course by that time, I'll be jedi, so what will it matter?

*sobs* whhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *sobs* devs why do you tempt us with your evil evil lies...*whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy* sobs sobvs sobs* we are all such good people.....i'll prove it in one point



THE ONE POINT WHY WE ARE ALL SUCH GOOD PEOPLE:


Everyone in the SWG universe trust us SMUGGLERS the most. out of any other perons in the game or profession they trust us the most....they trust smugglers the most. They give us their KRAYT PISTOLS to slice....the give us millions of dollars of armor for free.....




*sobs* someone hold me...*sobs*














This give me an Idea, why shouldn't we player, steel all thoes Armor and Weapons??? we have to make a Protest, to do Something, or sending this Post to Lucasarts. to all Video game Website and magazin, Fan web Site, or even Fan Star Wats Site like theForce.net.


If the Devs and LA see so many complains, they will do something or they will loose their Face (like we say in Germany)


Damn If my company did make all those Promise and all the lies, we wouldn't have any client left
