Thread: Smuggler delay
Why can I not bring it up in a Civil Manner on Sunday? Why do we have to wait 12days when we were promised within 7?

P.S Wasn't Thunderheart meant to be around here some time soon? Did I miss that?
Lets not forget what was posted and the timeline:
June 3 -that infamous State of the Game message was posted with news of yet another delay in our revamp, throwing this community into a rage.
June 4 - JustG makes a post on the smuggler boards to soothe the troubled spirits, and makes this comment - "We are at the FF right now, so TH and I are going to be fairly unavailable at this time, but we will spend some time with you next week..." (JustG on 6-4-04)
June 5 - Again, JustG posts, notifying us that GreenMarine is again going to work on our revamp when his other obligations are fulfilled. This is much like a post done by Q-3PO in september of last year.
It is now June 11th,almost the endof the "next week", and there has been no time spent here by a red name, other than a quick blurb in Caylin's going MIA post (and the post has nothing to do with anything smuggler). "Next week" is, technically, over this coming Saturday at midnight. 38.75 hours remain (where I am located) for JustG's comment about spending time here to be achieved.
I personally am waiting to see how (more like"if" at this point) this comes to pass, and if it's a quality time versus a single post cover-smoke blowing issue.
You know I am just as upset as all of you at the treatment we're getting, but when you keep coming out with the same height of annoyance I wonder just how healthy that is for all of you.
It's been 6 days since something was said in response to our annoyance at being ignored and passed over. I am hoping the revamp is great for us, but I can't keep pulling anger up from nowhere to continue wailing on the developers with my words of anger. It's not healthy and chances are you end up walking around in a bad mood for the rest of the day. We should not be seen like many see the nerf criers. Give it another 6 days and then bring it up in a civil manner.
IM DONE! SMUGGLERS WILL NEVER GET A REVAMP! ALL YOU HOPELESS HAPLESS PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER COME THIS GAME WONT LAST!
P_day, you can't have a TEF while DEAD!

though delays happen, (im from a coutry where it takes a letter 3 days to travel 3km). the least you can do is to add something to "tie us over" i have a few suggestions that might be "easily" implemented to make smuggler more fun.
- replace all regular scan teams with nova troopers, upon finding contraband the following will happen :
Imperial : Will lose one rank because of insuburdination to the laws of the emperor. If the person in question is a private he will recive - fp equal to what hte next rank would cost him, all faction help over the new cap will be lost. Overt imperials of rank above Army captain will be fined 10% of the faction cap. No "discounts" for coverts since they are not recognised by the Scan teams as "servants" of the empire
- Neutral : will be fined based on they're faction standing with the empire x10 so -5000 imp faction would be a 50k fine and so on.
- Rebels : Instant incap followed by a DB resulting in increased decay 10 - 25% and max bf and 400 wounds to each stat including sub stats, will also get a 20 minute TEF

First I’d apologize that we were misleading at all, if that was the case, or if he was misled and had expectations for a Smuggler revamp.
Silly smugglers, however did we "mislead" ourselves into thinking that we had a revamp coming??

Well at least the devs are finally coming clean... Smuggler isn't now and never was on their radar for a fix. We didn't slip behind other priorities, we have never been a priority.
Now we have just gotten pushed out of 2004.
Great job devs. Wish you hadn't been so dishonest with us this whole time.
...and this Mackle post pretty much sums up how all of us feel....and to think i took some blows myself for having spoke my mind.
The response that we got after WEEKS of waiting just goes to show what i was trying to prove in that Smuggler forgotten again thread...and thats when you complain/whine....SOE listens

WoW! First. I doubt anyone at SOE is actually going to sift through and read all these posts because "the large systems you're revamping need your full attention". I've been a smuggler ever since I got the game in Nov/03 and we've been waiting and waiting for a revamp... wait, why am I writting this? Nothing is going to happen... no one really cares about anyone posting messages on this board.
I did some calculations and it seems they net in upwards of 6.3 millions dollars.....A MONTH.

With the money SOE is making off this game, I'd think they could hire some more designers.
It's just a thought.
this is getting sadder by the hour.....we NEED SOMETHING SOE......GIVE US SOMETHING TO TIDE US OVER for all the promises broken....ANYTHING would do about now...even a smuggler only pistol that you could nerf later....give us SOMETHING FOLKS geez!

Disappointed. Simply disappointed.
Mind you, I wasseething with anger, but then realized it wasn't worth being angry over. If there is anything to be angry over it is that they are driving away the best damn correspondent EVER!
otherwise...just disappointed.
