There, Wes. Fixed your typo...

Lets not forget our history - once before, we were told that we were "in development", when it turned out we weren't even on the agenda. Its happened before, I have no doubts that it will happen again.

All I can say is be prepared to feel the hand on the back of our heads as a greasy voice whispers in our ears, " Relax, this wont hurt a bit."

you know about santa klaus ? he's working on our revamp right now !


I keep the prof cause it's my income, that's it, there's no other reason, no more faith in our revamp, it won't happen, here's why:


CU is expected next year (first half), and prof revamps after that.

what we can expect for "prof" revamps.

jedi revamp redux (cause they'll whine hard after CU)
BH fixes (again)

prolly some JTL content added for whiny masters

jedi fixes

removal of something (like solo groups right now, they'll find something else to remove)

new loot kits probably

paintings

maybe one more dungeon

oh ! we forgot about the smuggler revamp guys, we'll do it after the next jedi publish

jedi revamp

etc... etc...


1/2006 "we're working on smuggler revamp guys, keep the faith ! we think it'll be better after the next expansion so we'll delay it for 6 more months, I hope you guys realize it's only to make it better uh ?"

Ugh, I'm tired of being cynical, but why the hell are they doing a lootrevamp!?!? when so much of the game is still broken. Not to make our problems seem minor, but take a look at Squad Leader for being useless, or that you need to have some sort of melee profession in your template to be able to compete in PvP or high end PvE. I dunno about SOE, but I don't recall seeing Han Solo doing any melee except when he smacked Lando in the jail cell on Cloud City.


What happened to "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid"?

In SWG, it's more like "A good blaster and smuggler skills are no match for FS, TKM andvibroknucklers at your side, kid"


I didn't become a smuggler to become Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan or Connor MacLeod... I wanted to shoot Stormtroopers with a pistol and do well without having to get all Matrix on their asses. This isn't EQ2, but it appears the melee was developed in this game to pre-test for EQ2. They know it's messed up, and they intend to fix classes....


...after they revamp loot to keep the 1337 players still in the game.


Players says, "Hey, how come my profession is broken?"

Developers waves new loot in front of the player's face, "Look, shiney new toy"

Player yells, "Shiney new toy YAY!!!!!!!11111ONE11!!"

I guess you have the point here, I'll be less surprised to see santa get the hell out of my fireplace than see any deadline for smuggler revamp.

Well it was going to be then but there was a scheduling conflict with the end of the world so they had to push the revamp back another month.

Hey guys I have not stuck my head into the forums in quite a while. (They pretty much give me headaches)


I see threads on idea's and such,which is good.


But, I can't find any "official" mention of when/if it's ever coming.


You know, the Revamp that GreenMarine was if I remember correctly, "diligently working on" from September 2003. You know, a year and 2 months ago.




Is there even a 1/2 way official list of what the revamp will be?








Gah! What's next? Hell freezing over? Let's get a revamp already. =)
