My point. They're not going to be happy unless they can win every time. Simple fact. We eliminate FD and put in some new escape tactic, they'll still be complaining that we're overpowerd and it's not fair, and boo-hoo-hoo I didn't get paid.



Feign Death in its current in-game version is not an escape tactic. An example of an escape tactic would be something like pretending to be incapacitated, waiting for the BH to come close and deathblow, and then punching him in the unmentionables, delaying him for a short random amount of time, usually enough to pull out your bike and start speeding away.

DoI have the ability to kill the conversation in threads or is it just the time difference that makes the thread slow over there...?



We couldn't play SWG without Tiggs. Now we can =)

I don't mind the idea of being hunted by Bounty Hunters. I just don't want to be an easy mark that gets preyed on time and time and time again. I play the game to have fun; being attacked by a bounty hunter once in a while could be very exciting and would definately be an unexpected twist in a gaming night.


Being attacked night after night because smugglers are easy prey compared to Jedi would be annoying and would remove the enjoyment I would get from the game. I don't want to be ueber, I don't want to always escape - I just want a fair chance at getting away.


Hopefully before we ever get on the terminals, the smuggler profession could get some skills that would allow them to survive in a situation gone bad...hmmmmmmm...I see a new proposal in my future....hmmmm...

I posted there, take a look at my reply.



V E E L A "her royal hawtness"
I am Jack's Smirking Revenge. I am Jack's Ignored Profession.
Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...


That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.

Editor's Note: The author of the above post has quit giving SOE her money. She suggests you do the same, because this game will never be what you want it to be.

Here's an idea, give Master Smugglers the ability to talk in spatial and emote while Feigning Death. I can see it now.


/scenario
System Message: 1337kIddI3 has incapacitated Smuggler while the Smuggler is unbuffed, unarmored, and forced Overt by a crackdown unit!
System Message: 1337kIddI3 goes to deathblow, but finds the Smuggler is feigning!
System Message: 1337kIddI3 begins to beat on Smuggler out of over-compensating rage!
Smuggler: Oh, yeah, that's the spot.
1337kIddI3: w tf?!!
Smuggler: Oooh, more!
1337kIddI3: stuh up!!1!
Smuggler: Harder! Harder!(while laughing his ass off to his guildmates watching this go on)
1337kIddI3: STP THA U SIKO FUKR!1!!
Smuggler: Who taught you about prison love, baby?
System Message: 1337kIddI3 has been scared senseless by his extreme homophobia and is now questioning his own sexuality as well as the size of his gentalia. He has logged off to cry in his corner and suck his thumb.


Yes, this would allow me to be very evil and have so much fun at it! BWAHAHAHAHA!

Well, the system message part was more of a gag device than anything. Primarilyreplacing the monolog of a speakerin a story, to explain the events. I was originally just going to say "Smuggler has been incapacitated.", but I decided system messages actually stating more than they do in the game would make the whole gag more funny.

Hey now guys, look. I do not want to do anything illegal here.
But I would kill somebody, in front of their own mama, to get a ten speed.
And if anybody testifies against me, I'll gouge their eyes out
