If anyone wants, I've always kept what I was working on online...

I've copied some ideas shamelessly from these email conversations as well as forum ideas.

They will have a different version than I will for certain, so we can have something to compare with, take things from or change as we wish.

Hoping to get my version finished tonight, I have alot of work to do on it still and please remember it's just my version, not the official one.

Just read your version Caylin.... awesome man. You are dead on there, and I love the fact that you mention "vehicles and ships." It's a good idea to keep reminding them that we have great expectations of JTL enhancing our profession even after we get our Revamp.

You guys are doing a great job. As a long-time Smuggler who is fast losing faith in the devs, it is the people on this forum who give me hope to hold onto the profession. Thank you.

You finished slicing huh? Really?! Are you sure?

What was it, one line maybe two you put in there? Haha!

I'm just giving you crap Geevo, really I am...I'm not being a schmuck...I swear!

Our focus group hopes to have a solid foundation doc to work from for all you blokes by the end of tomorrow. Don't get your hopes up too high on the contents though...I'd hate to dissapoint anyone. This is a work in progess, and will need heavy community involvement to finalize.

Keep up the positive attitude, and I think we may get this thing whipped into shape!!

Spice is crafted instead of smuggled

---

I would instead write, "Spice is crafted without the option ofbeing smuggled instead."

---

We hope to make smugglers no longer ‘crafters’ of what should be highly...

---

Here I would write, "We hope to make smugglers no longer soley 'crafters' of what should be highly..."

Those are purely semantic issues though and not important at all aside from the implication all smugglers dislike crafting spice. Feel free to biotch slap me for bringing it up

The only thing I don't really like is the part where you suggest Dirty Fighting should be Combat xp. I agree the xp should be different if all the changes desired happened to the skill tree but making it combat xp seems to me like a really bad solution to that for the reason of it making leveling that tree an arduous grind. Frankly, I despise grinding. Character progression should be fun not arbitrarily a pain in the ass. Instead of specifically suggesting combat xp, change the line to suggest an xp change without a suggestion for xp type?

Other than that, it's very well written and thought out doc. I would be happy to back it as it summarizes everything I'ld like to see in the revamp succinctly.

Caylin, that doc is almost perfect in my opinion. There are a couple of things I would change though.

I was going for a hardliner approach... Ask for the stars, and we might get the moon

Same explanation as above. Nothing against this, I just hate giving them wiggle room if possible. I've always felt the vast majority wanted to smuggle spice instead of craft it, so I take that approach here. I know many like crafting it, but I'll see what I can get.

The only thing I don't really like is the part where you suggest Dirty Fighting should be Combat xp. I agree the xp should be different if all the changes desired happened to the skill tree but making it combat xp seems to me like a really bad solution to that for the reason of it making leveling that tree an arduous grind. Frankly, I despise grinding. Character progression should be fun not arbitrarily a pain in the ass. Instead of specifically suggesting combat xp, change the line to suggest an xp change without a suggestion for xp type?

That's why I said 'Consider' but there are only so many xp types that could apply. Combat xp just seemed perfect to apply to all sorts of combat, it was not a choice I made lightly, as I dislike grinding combat xp myself. I'll definatly think on how to go aboutrephrasing this.

Other than that, it's very well written and thought out doc. I would be happy to back it as it summarizes everything I'ld like to see in the revamp succinctly.

Lot more to do... I have all of underworld and more to write up... so I have a 2-liter bottle of Barq's rootbeer at my side to keep the caffeine flowing. I don't want to sleep until I finish this...

Barq's Does making it (in my opinion) NOT a root beer...

Well it had caffeine and I like rootbeer, making it the drink of choice as I'm not a big coffee person.

But it did let me get everything filled in but Underworld... working on that now.
