Thread: Smugglers forgotten AGAIN
That was back in December. I wonder if the surprise was was the Wookie Armor components or the reward schematics..even if so, those arent what we asked for. Anyway, tailors are needing love too

Not to get offensive, Caylin... but for the love of God, stop parrotting the same thing over and over. We know we're not going to see anything until after JTL. We know we're not going to see anything until after Publish 11. It doesn't make a lot of any less outraged.
Unless "combat balance" is a blanket term for fixing all the professions, we're stuck in limbo. And this, from the Stratics interview, is an absolute, bald-faced lie:
Runesabre - GreenMarine (internal SWG designer) is leading up the charge with the Smuggler Revamp. He is currently taking a lot of feedback from the players from the Smuggler Forums as well as presenting a lot of "In Concept" ideas on the Smuggler Forum. I highly encourage you to visit the Smuggler Forum and be involved with the exciting proposed changes coming!
He's currently doing crap for us. They've got him chained to JTL. They're not even trying to hide the fact at this point. We may be on GreenMarine's 'To Do' list, but we're definitely not on his radar.

I see nothing, NOTHING in the new schedual about any Smuggler revamps.
NOTHING
I tell you this is really getting to be BS.
They have promised a revamp and then forgotten these promisses so many times I cannot believe it!
This profession has been screwed all along Beta and now for over 2 years in live!
There is NO EXCUSE for this TH!
None whatsoever!
Weighs Smuggler Revamp on one hand and the Stopping of the Holo Grind on the other...
hmmmm.... stop the grind.
Weights CM combat Gods on one hand and the Smuggler Revamp on the other ......
hmmmm... stop the CMs
There are a couple of points I want to make.
While I want a smuggler revamp, there are bigger annoyances in the game that need to go. In addition, I do not play every profession ao I am unaware of things that may be totally broken and need attention right now.
There have been a lot of suggestions for smugglers. All of them can't be added. Some of them have to be evaluated to see how they will effect the game and the answer may not be really obvious. Far less obvious then such things like CM DOTpoisons needs a fix.
The scope of the changes we're asking for is unknown to us. For example, some of the proposed changes with slicing may require an change to the structure to the database for armor and weapons having an effect on how Weapon and Armor Smiths craft. This may also effect data structure for cloths which may affect how tailors and artisans craft them. Since clothing, weapons and armor are also loot items then the loot generation system may also have to be changed. In addition every weapon, peice of clothing and armor already in existance would have to have to be updated. This is all speculation of course since I don't have the source code. It just illustrates how a change in one profession could send ripples out affecting other portions of the game.
There are other issues that require immediate attention. Every new feature added has the potential to open up security holes and bugs in ways you've never dreamed of. Most of these are fixed without you even knowing about them and may require priority attention that may pull people off other projects. You never know about these bugs and exploits because sometimes they are fixed within hours of discovery by a discreet patch ( /cheer devs ).
Dispite my grips, after a year of playing I still have fun.

I don't like repeating myself either, but if people aren't understanding that they wont get a date, they wont get an answer OTHER than that, then it stands to reason that I have to keep telling them that, now doesn't it?
