Lemme see how long I have to cook in this Jedi stew of a game before I do the same.




I'm gone the 27th I believe.

I have been having fun in the COLS forum, no real point to post here anymore since I've given up all hope on this game.





Ahhhh my old friend, sorry to see you have finally "taken a laser blast".




I have lost all hope for this game, and I mearly still play cause I love SW, and all the other games out there...

Are not Star WARS.

No offense Tashunka, at least BH has always had SOMETHING for their skillpoint investment. They've always hunted bounties, even if it was bugged they were still hunting. They got interaction with the player base within their namesake function. And they've been fixed a couple times now.


Could they stand to get better content driven missions? Yes. But at least they have those missions.



I don't want this to turn into anything ugly, but history stands as it stands. Other professions have been as loud, if not louder than this community, and they're gotten their due development time.


Therefore, no other profession should get told at this point that they cannot get theirs. Especially when you consider that those professions already developed will recieve even more attention during this "smaller project" time.





"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

...and where are all the gods!? Where's the street wise Calrissian to fight the rising odds!?

Ahem, wasn't the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the thread's title... honest .

Er, what the others said, they've either given up waiting for Smuggling, or have moved on elsewhere with a mind to return should the big S ever make it in game.

Please don't blame the Bounty Hunters for your misfortune - we didn't have it so good for a long time. If it ever cost 217 of your 250 skill points (and the apprentice points for THREE profs) to master Smuggler; if slicing xp was ever as hard to get (and bugged) as Investigation XP); if the "new missions" turned out to be less worthwhile than the ones you have because of the antics of another profession... then you might call it whining.


You don't seem to know what "whining" is - so let me tell you. Whining is when a Smuggler complains because another profession got its needed fix before Smugglers did. Alienating other players isn't going to get your revamp any faster - if anything, you'll piss off people who otherwise might have supported you. Maligning other professions is not going to get your revamp any faster - if I were a Developer, the last thing I'd want to do is spend my time fixinga profession full of people like you, who can't be happy if anyone else's profession is working, who want to drag everyone else down, and who whine about others allegedly "whining".


In case that was too many words for you to grasp, let me boil it down: Leave us out of it. The time it took to "fix" BH wouldn't have done much for smuggler - unless you think a Dev could have revamped your prof in a weekend of free time. We're not to blame for the delays in the Smuggler revamp - tell it to the Devs. It's getting to the point where, even though I'm a Smuggler myself and have been a Master for about a year, I'm starting to think that this profession is the last thing the Devs should waste their time on, if this is the sort of person they'd be helping.


I'm pissed after waiting two years for the Smuggler revamp too - but I don't blame my fellow players for it. Only an idiot would do that.


There's a phrase for people like you: "Does not play well with others". You probably still see it on your report card, don't you?





i wasn't blaming you or BH's. i was making a point that Smuggler's sitting back and taking it wasn't working.


i was making a point that professions that whined, and yes, it is whining, got what they needed or wanted first.


I was a MBH a long time ago, when it did require Master Scout and Master Marksman. I knew what it was like when it was really hard. I switched to smuggler because it's what i really wanted to do.


Only an IDIOT would read my post and think i was blaming anyone except SOE. As for d"on't play well with others", why not ask people on Eclipse who know me and get how many friends i have in game.

What the heck is going on?


What's the point of posting here, as a member of this community for a long time Ive seen, done and posted it all. Now all the new kids come in and say the same things all us old kids (who are now unhappy) said a year or two or close to three yrs ago.

It's kinda sad really, I dont even want to try and respond to the "stay positive" or "here is a new idea for smuggling" threads that the new guys post, the old guard has been there and done that. Take a look at threads from a year ago and not much has changed...well the community has been blow apart, that much has changed.

If you dont learn your history you are doomed to repeat it.

sfPuck,

Most just got fed up with nothing ever happening to the Smuggler profession, in the way of Smuggling, which is all we wanted added in the first place.

There were promises made, but never fulfilled. Here is an example


Tashunka,

Zhagadska pointed out that while the Smugglers were being constructive and posting some fine ideas for Smuggling missions over the last two years, the Jedi and Bounty Hunters would whine about this and that and the Devs would listen.

He didn't make a negative comment on the Jedi, or the Bounty Hunters, just pointed out the above.
