I think your definition of "hint" is awfully broad.. though of course I understand where you're coming from.

glad to see I was mistaken on how fast these documents would get out... (points at her post about 1 day to 2 months....)

After so long waiting, I just cannot get worked up about hints anymore.






i guess i can see what you mean as a player, but also looking at it as a player and considering how fast SOE posted and then deleivered on something like 3 great publishes since january 2005, i would tend to be less cynical and more positive. but thats just me

Sounds like no matter what they do you're going to slam on it so you can maintain and inflate how persecuted you are...


but that's just me.


Had a smuggler since my first character, I like what they are trying to implement.

So Goliath, did you become a Master Artist the proper way, or did you grind it out using cheap resources?

You have to understand something, we have been promised a Smuggler Revamp before... and before that... and before that... and some of us have been Smugglers a long, long time.

But I have to admit, you guys are winning me back over lately. I *LOVE* the direction the game is heading, I am impressed by the recent updates, and am having more fun these days than I did at any time since beta. Keep it coming!

Sorry, but I am not one to reward halfa** efforts. Not saying that the Dev's don't try. But 3 great publishes? I think some good changes were made that were long overdue, but in the course of doing so we had to put up with how many days or ruberbanding? Other items broken that needed 2 or 3 hotfixes to correct what wasn't broken to begin with. Numerous game breaking items that took entirely too long to fix like the warcry and now duel. The GCW is ok to keep people interested for a month or two, but even that will become old to the combantants, especially once they start running out of money becaue running low level mission for 6-8k gets extremely boring and then they go cave camping in hopes of good loot to sell off for some quick credits.


And yet the Melee Bounty Hunters remain... bugged PSG's with anti-decay kits... Nerf after nerf with nothing to fill the void of which people got to know and like as being a normal thing. MBH is still a joke combat profession along with many others that aren't part of the melee stacker profession of choice. Players that were lead to believe combat upgrade would be out by now and now it's being rolled out as part of an expansion (not saying this is part of the expansion) But I as a player see the whole combat upgrade being pushed aside yet again for another f'ing expansion to try and suck more money out of the players that remain. And hey.. if we want more content, we get to PAY FOR IT!!! Imagine that! /giggle silly me I thought there was a reason to stay in the game and keep paying $15 a month.


Three great publishes? Try more like one broken into 3 pieces and multiiple hotbreaks in the process that have caused me and several others to not even want to play anymore. It's pretty bad when you click attack and my character stand 2m away from a critter or lair with their DE-10 up their bum and not one single basic attack. And I am sick of posting or submitting bugs because they either get ignored or never addressed, so why not save myself time of writing them and the Dev's time of deleting them?


If your looking for a pat on the back Goliath, go find one of the normal SOE brown nosing suckups that aren't tired of broken promises and aren't tired of being nerfed to death. Their a dime a dozen and easy to find, they are usually the ones that say "first" or a post, or "great publish" before they log in and see all the new bugs that came with the fixing of the old ones.

Wow. I'll forgive you and assume you don't know the history here or you wouldn't have posted something like that. The only thing we want to hear is "here's the info on the smuggler revamp, and it will be here in 6 weeks." SOE has done nothing to earn our trust and enough to demolish it so that no one who's been through it would be anything but cynical.


If you truly understood how we'd been jerked around, I honestly don't think you would have posted that.
