Smuggler Archive

Is there anyway we can have a temporary fix to some of the obvious issues. We need something. For over 9 months we've been told that fixes were on the way but all we've seen are nerfs to Dirty Fighting tree? Can you understand the mixed message we as a community are seeing?

Why nerf Panic Shot if it wasnt hurting anyone?

If we are going to have to wait (again ) for a revamp can we have some short term fixes that would at least make playing SWG semi-fun again.

You have screwed up for the last time. No amount of apology can EVER fix this. EVER.

You pussyfoot around with some confounded Jedi system that you love so much but can NEVER get going right. You lie to us OVER AND OVER and you expect to dump this on us? This is ridiculous. What's worse is, over the times you get our hopes up I think the Publish 11 pushback was the best. You actually admit your fault and be realistic with us. We get a crack team on it for 3 weeks to do PRECISELY what you ask and it's all for NOTHING.

How can you people honestly say you are earning a paycheck? If you counted this job as a reference I wouldn't hire you at friggin Arby's for ignorance.

Now...I dare you to come back in and face the flames like someone that cares. That's right, if you truely care about this profession you will stop this bullflop and put the fire out and contain it the best of your ability. I can't believe this crap. And so help me, if you DARE try to piss this fire out...

I have some nice pull with a LOT (around 45) of Tarquinas smugglers...and they'll hear about this...I will do my best to convince each one how **edit**ty and futile this is and for us to quit.

Suck a fat egg, SOE...you have truely **edit**ed up.

^ haha easy there NickHeel...down boy down!

Well someone important finally showed up

I understand that developers are under pressure, I'm sure we all do. I don't think most of us are angry at the push back in itself. First push back told us we were not as important as Jedi which are only a small % of the game and you would be concentrating on them. Then you told us that you would spend more time with us and giving us feed back with the second date set for our revamp. Some of out community spent a lot of time on a new revamp document only for you to tell them that it was a waste of time since we are not getting a revamp for several months now. We were told our revamp would be a ground based smuggler revamp so that was what we worked on. Now we are told that are profession will only be useful in space. We keep giving you our ideas and vision of the smuggler and we get nothing in return except for delays and broken promises. I think that is the reason that a lot of people are leaving this profession and the game.
You promise us communication yet it has taken you two days to write something in this forum since the delay was announced.
Instead of giving us distractions with revamps why do you not fit some fixes into one of the mini publishes. Skill tree documentation would be a nice start. A return of panic shot, feign death and spice downers to what it use to be. Small things like that would maybe help us believe that you do care even a little bit for us smugglers.

This line, we have heard before...

Honestly, I think most folks here understand that there are a lot of major changes coming up forcore game systems and the effort involved in making sure they are done right. What is frustrating for the smuggler community (and what is now pushing a lot of us to the brink of anger) is the fact that we have been repeatedly told that we are going to get some dev ear time "next week" or "soon," and then all the red names disappear only to return a month or two later to say "sorry, your revamp is being delayed again, but we are going to make some time next week to discuss it with you." Lather, rinse, repeat...

You and 28 out of the 33 professions.

OK devs YOU ARE PUTTING JEDI infront of Smugglerone of the key proffesion to the star wars universe so... like you guys... and im not even a smuggler!!

GIVE US SOMETHING! I'll take a half-assed something, then you can fix it with the year and a half late revamp.

Yea, I only want like 2 jedi per a server or less, I don't think they should be uber like you are making them. Smuggler should come first since jedi shoudldn't even be hear now.

Hope Smuggler gets something very good to make up for all this. Hope that the game isn't only about Jedi by that time (heading that way with the dev's blessing).

I am not a Smuggler, but I definitely appreciate being notified in this manner. Not being told at all or being given something that doesn't meet expectations is a far worse sin. I hope that moving forward, the Devs are able to better plan and manage expectations (hopefully without complete secrecy as that irritates the playerbase too!) so further delays aren't needed.

I pity the Devs with cases like this. Whatever they post is "wrong" in the eyes of some players. I think this was the best way to do it though -- honesty.
