Smuggler Archive

You know, they used to call the BS in-between patches 'hotfixes' but that was also back when the 'issues' were hot.

Right now we're 'hotfixing' stuff that's been a problem for months.

I heard the mystery second spicing tree was actually going to be 'fake spices' and such. We'll learn how to cut muon with drano, and pixie with oregano so that we'll have smaller resources costs for drugs that nobody wanted anyway.

The 'Revamp' is rumored to include being able to buy faction at a bad rate for factions that nobody cares about: namely, townsfolk, RSF, and smashball thugs. Everyone hail the smashball-thug-faction-rating-purchase-super-revamp!

This is what will happen in the Smuggler Revamp in 2008...


-Feign Death moved to novice TKA and Novice Jedi, because they're not powerfull enough.
-PanicShot, LastDitch, and Low Blow moved to Gunfighter
-Spices moved to Chef
-Underworld perks moved to Bounty Hunter
-Requirements to open Smuggler raised to Master Marksman & Master Brawler
-Slicing skills moved to Droid Engineer
-Everyone who is a Smuggler will automaticly become open to attack by everyone in the game, reguardless of faction
-Devs raise the price of subscription for Smugglers from $15/month to $40/month

"All servers are up and running fine with the new patch! The doctors have been given a much needed boost to their profession; they're now estimated at making 2 million a day instead of the measley 1 million we had worked out for a dedicated doctor.

And now for that special surprise you've been waiting for! Well, I and the dev team are extremely happy to announce that we're adding something to the GCW pre-JtL! After all the positive feedback we received for allowing high ranking Imperials to get around contraband scans, we knew this would be a winner. So without further ado: All Imperials over the rank of Warrant officer will now be able to slice weapons and armour with a +10% bonus to Colonels!

Have a great week all, see you in game "

I'm just getting ready to start my smuggler character and have been reading your boards to get a feel for it. Three things I have consistently noticed: You have some very interesting ideas for your profession, you are all very cynical about any of it ever happening, and you are the funniest posters I have read on the profession boards. Must be something about people who choose the sumggling profession...

cynical we are not cynical, we just have been crapped on for so long now, we just take it in stride and dont trust a friggin thing the devs tells us. by the way the underwater skill tree was hilarious....

The Revamp?















No, wait. Who am I kidding?

I guess the surprise is that there is no surprise...9.3 went live with no changes in the patch notes that I can see...

Actually, the surprise was the reduction of wait times at starports to 5 minutes. Nothing spectacular, but a welcome addition.

Oh yeah, and the new racetrack that's already been live for a couple of days.

- Added new Smuggler pre-req: Master Cynic.

*Cynic added as a hidden beginning profession, which is unlocked by a secret process unknown even to the Dev team.
