Smuggler bounties has been discussed countless times. Smuggler bounties and dual-wield weapons have been on a dev "wish list" since the game started. These will not happen, as the devs consistently have much more important things to work on. And no, it wouldn't rock. I don't like the idea of some MRifle/MBH coming out of nowhere to gun my ass down in 3-4 shots because I don't have the Insta-heal the jedi do. A smuggler caught unaware by a BH will get slaughtered. We're a crowd control class, so even if you mix in a combat profession with us, we're still outdone by a raw combat monkey.


I still say this idea is bad, because the players of any MMORPG aren't responsible enough on the whole to be able to play these characters like they were meant to be. I certainly don't look forward to the day I'm minding my own business and I get dropped from 65 meters away...only to receive tells like "HAHAHAHA!! I OWNED YOU! PWNZ0RD BEECH!"


Yeah....real fun content that would be.






I disagree. There have been at least 50 threads started in this forum, the jedi forum and the BH forum. (about12 months ago was alot of them). It's a Smuggler request from a long long time ago. Yes, we are a CC class now. I hope we keep our root. If it breaks apon damage its ONLY an escape tool. But this is something we were asking for when Smuggler_Caylin was our corrospondant. I'm all for ANY content they add to Smuggler!

This is a quote from TANKS:

Several things were mentioned as possibilities by devs in various forums:


Possibility of combat rating getting one on BH Terminals if the combat rating is so high. Hmm, I hope then that this means there will be ways to increase a player's combat rating beyond 80 other than being Jedi....











I think they are talking about your combat rating.You know, that thing that goes up everytime you kill a PC and goes down everytime you get DB'd by another player.


I forget how to check your rating but its a command akin to /check for your force sensitivity.


Mine is 1146.


I don't know how the rating system works but I KNOW mine can't be that good because I get JACKED on a regular basis.



I don't know why any of this would have to wait very long to be implemented. It all seems like it's on stuff that's already in game.

Golrok...seriously...is that carebear post of yours supposed to be a flame? It would be much easier to convey your point if you'd slow down and spell half your words correctly. You found the ignore command? Well howdy doody, guess you deserve a piece of chocolate!


Just because you want to make a full on combat monkey doesn't mean the rest of the player base does. If the bounty system was completely consensual, then it wouldn't be a problem. But this concept of player bounties on smugglers is pretty off-key. Smugglers weren't some unlockable class that needed population control, Jedi were. Hence their bounties. Smugglers? While it sounds cool at first, like I said (and you've proven) the community at large could never handle this thing responsibly. If I want to go blast the crap out of people for no reason, I boot up BF 1942. That's where I go when I need my"OMFG HAX PWND BEETCH!!" fix. For every bounty hunter who can play like a human being, there's about 10 mongoloids who will grief you. From the looks of your desires, I'm willing to put money that you're one of those mongoloids. For you, the entire purpose of this game is to blast another human being. Yippy...I'm so happy you've found your calling in life. At least now I know you won't shoot up a school or post office.


If this kind of thing turns you on, hey it's your opinion. But it's not mine and we both pay the same amount of money for the same game. Nothing makes you special.

Nah, you wouldnt. Most BH feel bad for smugglers. We dont hate you the way we hate Jedi.

And besides, hate tells are one of the funniest parts of player bounties. Some of the BH that get killed by Jedi...wow.
