Don't knock the expansion until you've tried it. I was in beta, and I enjoyed the expansion more then I thought I would.
Zeon, you SIR have been POUNCED for also being in BETA
I don't care how 'fun' some people say it is. It is still, for me, fundamentally flawed and, despite what some people may say, a sad indictment of the direction of this game - High CL and Jedi at the expense of crafters, pilots and any other player who wants to do something other than be herded around a landscape in pursuit of uber loot.
Added to the fact that the original game and every expasion so far is still riddled with bugs and sadly misses most people's expectations of what this game should have been and still could be, then it's not a surprise that SOE will be getting no more cash from me for their new content until they fix what we already have or I exhaust the fun of doing what is possible at the moment and then quit.
I'm not just talking about Smuggling. It's everything else that's wrong with this game.

sorry, but as I know Mustafa IS free to roam where ever ya want, no instances, no loadingscreens. At last, I found non in Beta, might have missed them, cause I only played once to keep the fun of exploring to my original Char.

And why exactly would I want any of this junk anyway? Composite helmetscanbe craftet with7k kinetic, 5k energy and 6k elemental protection, which is way more than this "riot control" version has.As for the weapons, it depends. If they are unsliceable, they are well below crafting caps for elite cl 54 weapons. If not, there will be a lot of show roomsfor rent, soon. Funny thing is though, that the stats for the MBH rifle are the same we saw a few weeks ago... and which were supposed to be still undecided about.

30$ for a brand new world to play on with a few more quests, a little more loot, wow im so impressed... Lets see here, this is just based off of previous MMORPG games i've played Before SWG came out, 3 new expansions within 2 years. A bit much wouldn't you say? An expansion that is only HALF finished, there is no space sector, there is still no smuggling being done, 99% of the loot is for Fencer, BH, or Commando. None of the new wearables are for NON humanoids to wear. Lets check their progress so far on this. A grand total of 100$ worth of expansions per account, and yet we are still NO closer to being a complete game than we were last year. How many of the professions are still NOT working as intended? I have seen CH revamps, SL revamps, Commando revamps, Combat revamps, Jedi revamps galore, and yet the one BASIC revamp promised for 2.5 years now, is still NO closer to being done than it was at launch. Oh goody we have our revamp IN CONCEPT, uh huh, it was there before and magically dissappeared. Rangers revamp is on the In Development page. Don't know what they are going to do with that. So basically, everyone is getting ALL wound up over the new expansion for a new rug, and some new guns, and a Lava crystal. Great for them. If you like the expansion that is wonderful, we are happy you do, but dont flame those that are NOT buying it JUST because they don't like the idea. I was on Beta, I wasn't impressed.
Lets go devs, its time to start EARNING our money. Enough of the expansions, enough of trying to gouge us for more and more money. How about FIXING THE GAME the way it is supposed be to be fixed instead of just adding stuff that isn't even finished.
Wonder how many bugs this expansion comes with? More or less than ROTW...

Still not smuggling
/nod
Ima say it now... They were under contract to do two tie-ins to the new movie. I guess TOGETHER they make one complete expansion, but thats besides the point.
IF THE NEXT EXPANSION IS NOT NAMED "EPISODE V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" (or some derrivitave thereof...) Im outta here. Thats OUR movie-- smugglers, bounty hunters, AND GCW out the wazoo.
I'm still having apoplexy over the addition of Obi Wan's ghost as a mission giver. LAME, INAPPROPRIATE, LAME, and LAME! PROOF that the devs have NO CONCEPT WHATSOEVER of continuity, and not enough imagination to fill a shot glass. I guess Luke was an @$$holeor something... he didn't need to wait for obi's ghost, he could have gone to the POI like he's some kind of tourist attraction. But hey, at leastthey used old man obi, not like that nonsense withyoung anakin being replaced by young anakin at the end of RotJ.
WATCH A STAR WARS MOVIE, YA JACK @$$ES! Or better yet,hire someone who knows the movies and Expanded Universe so we can be spared from yourEXCESS OF VISION! STOP USING YOUR IMAGINATION! YOU ARE NO GOOD AT IT! JUST STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF THOSE WHOCAMEBEFORE YOU, ANDKEEP YOUR INNOVATIONS TO YOURSELF. I'm AMAZED that Lucasfilmapproves this stuff. Their usually hardliners for continuity, but Galaxies islike "Stanley Kubrik's The Shining"... its got the Stephen King name, butthats where the similarity ends. Its making me nuts.
GCW basically NO LONGER EXISTS beyond PvP, and the only purpose faction serves is to pick a side. Not much there for role-players... where's that fix?
Oh, and while we're talking about what is going INTO the game, here's something that needs to come out. Go to a mission terminal, find a mission posted by "The Emperor", and read the description. Apparently Palpatine writes out missions aimed at attracting the 10 year old "I-have-no-life" power gamer audience... I almost cancelled on the spot it was so ridiculous.

ROFLMAO
Getting back on topic.........
The expansion isn't going to do anything for the smuggler prof so you will all hate it. I'm with you guys on this though, there needs to be something new added for smuggler. A smuggler only set of quests and actually give useful or high dollar rewards. I'm finding that being a smuggler costs me more than I'm making. Why did I do this again?
In memory of Oreet, the greatest Rodian ever

Seen any new pistols for smugglers/pistoleers on it?
i never flame drak, well... rarely. i merely answer honestly.
its not arrogant to say i know where the game is going. all i have to do is look at the evidence. dozens of other smugglers have said the exact same thing. are we all wrong and arrogant for simply reading the signs?
and ignorant i am everything but. i've read every HoC chat, read all the dev posts on the expansion, and i still can't find one redeeming value in the expansion. you can say "well you weren't in the beta" and yet other people have told me "don't judge the expansion based on the beta, because only 10% was in it, base it on the Dev posts and chats". you see the problem there.
so yes, i can knock it before i try it. i am speaking from an informed, intelligent and well thought out position. i might not always speak as such, but, trust me, i always do my homework.
