Thread: An open letter to the Devs about Smuggling. (Have a heart :( )
CU they gave us combat ability and broke slicing. Meh, so now we can fight...
Pub 19 they gave us the new slicing system which we didn't need until they broke the old one with the CU.
So now we have a) combat ability b) a source of income. I can see why the management might have teh delusion of being finished, but they have still not addressed the oldest and most obvious of our issues...
WE CANNOT SMUGGLE!!! Any note on when smugglers get to smuggle would be good, is it not getting added at all? or do we just have to wait patiently for ANOTHER 2 YEARS?!

Ladies and Gentleman of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Chewbacca is a Wookiee, from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that; that does not make sense. Why would an eight foot tall Wookiee want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself what does this have to do with this case? Nothing, ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. Ladies and gentlemen I am not making any sense, none of this makes sense. And so you have to remember when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the emancipation proclamation....does it make sense? No....Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!
Now look at the monkey...look at the monkey!
Best
defence
ever.
If you too want to know what's happening with Smuggling as an action/mission/contract type, reply and/or elaborate upon that, else stay clear. No sense in sending Tiggs a thread full of randomness
SMUGGLING?
Did someone mention SMUGGLING? Or the lack thereof?

I never understood this:
Luke Skywalker = Star of the original trilogy = Jedi
Han Solo = Co-Star of the Original Trilogy = Smuggler
Leia Organa = Supporting Star of the Original Trilogy = Politician???
Chewbacca = Supporting Star of the Original Trilogy = Engineer, Droid Engineer, A Little Shipwright...
If this is the order of importance of professions in the movies, why do Smugglers get no respect in this game?
This game takes place in a time when BH and Smugglers were taking advantage of the GCW and the injustices, the system of this game makes no sense where this whole underground concept is being ignored.Message Edited by Antonnio on 07-10-2005 11:02 AM

/agree, and I /sign this post
Good post Maxtheusher!
Also, any content they add to smugglers will also indirectly add content to other classes andwilladd alot of depth to SWG.I am for any class getting new content for this same reason.
....everwonder if they will ever add a third "criminal" faction.....
1) It can be grouped with ranged or Melee.
2) It can be grouped with non Combatant Professions and still be useful for grouping
3) Is a pretty excellent source of credits.
4) Can be the centerpoint of a Profession or Secondary/Tertiary.
Smuggler has more going for it than any other profession except maybe Combat Medic or Doctor. While the missions aren't a part of the game there is still a lot of ground work to be made in each and every profession. I sympathize with many of the Smugglers here but cool the doomsaying. See the profession for the positives before you write it off as broke... its far from it.
Smuggler 4tw!

Well i have been around in some capacity for about a year. the game was way too complicated before CU for casual gamers. CU has changed that significantly. I have tried several smuggling paths from Pistoleer/TK, Bounty Hunter/Commando ( way, way cool ) and TKM/Pistoleer ( who would have thought it would be pretty bad arse ) and find the smuggling profession a viable and very positive step in the right direction. Go back and watch how Han handled himself in the movies... very similar to the crowd control we have in place now.

2 years my friends....itsbeen 2 years since many of us (myself included) first began our own star wars expireince. For all of us here in this forum it was because of 1 man. That man is Han Solo.We watched as kids as this cocky and arrogant Smuggler brought to us the meaning of cool. I dont know about anyone else but when i was playing Star Wars in the playground i was always Han....ALWAYS lol. He had the coolest lines, he got the ladys (eventualy) and had an 8ft tall wookie friend as well as a cool ship.....Han is the man.
So why mention all that. Because to many of us thats what this game represents. Being back in that playground, running around making blaster noises and holding our hands as if it was the famouse dl-44. This is it, the grown up version lol.
As soon as i created my character i knew what to call him, i knew about a year before the game shipped. I had been waiting for this moment and it was only through a chance visist to the states that i was able to get my copy. On top of that it came out on my last day there. Now if that wasnt a sign i dont know what is friends. I remember entering the game and arriving in Mos Espa. Everything was new, shiny and we had everything waiting to be discovered.
Another players asked me what proffession i wanted to be and i quickly replied Smuggler. It was the only thing i ever wanted to be. A good blaster by side and a couple of months later i had achieved my goal, Master Smuggler. It was the greates moment of my gaming life in SWG. I felt a sense of achievement i have yet to feel in any other game.
I loved every aspect of the proffesion. Slicing, Spices and the great Low Blow and Last Ditch. However something was missing.....something crucial and all important. Now i admit i have never been a big forum poster, call me a lurker if you will but i put it down to time connstraints. However i have been here for a long time, through the good times and the more common bad.
See what are Smugglers if the cannot Smuggle.......really.....please ....anyone on the dev team, SOE, Lucasarts...GEORGE LUCAS HIMSELF......please define what a Smuggler is who cannot Smuggle......
All we ask for is for someone, it can be anyone, to come into this thread or the Smuggler forum and say one of several things. Hell they could even leave an answer by simply giving us the letter
A ] Smuggling will never be in the game
B ] We ARE working on the Smuggling missions and hope to have them to you soon
C ] We have finished the Smuggling changes and they will be with you in the next 1-3 publishes
D ] We have taken everything you posted about Smuggling missions and put it all into the game. Player Smuggling, NPC Smuggling, Smuggling Jedi or other criminals of the Empire/ Rebellion, NPC Bounty Hunters AND Player Bounty Hunters should you fail plus a host of other exciteing changes
Please dont misconstrune this reply as dev bashing or complaining. What i am trying to do is put across how passionately we care about this proffesion, how to some its a means of escape, a means of living out a fantasy only come true in dreams at night or in PnP Roleplay games. PLEASE dont misjudge us as eternly bitter for being passed over in favour of Jedi time and time and time again. Many have said it, the smuggler forums is one of the best places within the SWG forum world. You wont find Smugglers whinning that we're to weak or that another proffesion has an "I WIN BUTTON" (that guy cracked me up btw).
Like Han we're lovable Rogues who care about 1 thing and 1 thing only
Smuggling
as it stand that is something that DOES NOT EXIST in the game 
sincerly

I thought the SMUGGLING content was all done except for the text? Or was that just another gigantic SOE lie?
