What I really want to know is which of these people is responsible for designing the CU. Because I don't want him to be involved in any way with the smuggler revamp.

Your assuming that they'll let GM actually do what needs to be done for us Smugglers without giving him unrealistic limits or pushing code out before it's ready or sufficiently tested.
GM I have faith in, he seemed to really care and want to do things right. The rest of the asshats at SOE will ruin it, because that's what they get paid to do.

Seems Blair took the lead spot on the dev team, judging from the whole "Blair's Blog" thing from right before the CU... Although... If I recall, Blair only actually updated the blog one time, then some other dev did two other times... what happened to Blair?Even more interesting, Blair is gone two weeks after the other three, and only 3 days after he posted the blog...Did anybody notice on the HOC chat last night that none of the developers were listed as the lead developer for SWG?Things that make you go "Hmmm....".Also of note:SOETyrant <- This one is interesting, since when I checked back in late april for the first time, the last time he had logged in was also March 11, so it looks like they forgot to close this account on him, heh.Anyway, good luck with your revamp.Message Edited by JasonG69 on 06-16-2005 02:41 PM
I'm not sure Justg being gone is a bad thing considering this game had some serious issues under his leadership. Hopefuly whoever is in change now get's it, but we'll see I guess. I got to say I'm more interested in playing this game than ever before since the CU & ROTW came out. And if the rumors of Capital ships are true this game will rock pretty hard. Hey whatever happen to ShugNinx. Ever since that blow up last year about jedi or something he hasn't shown his face. Maybe he's on another project for Lucas Arts.

Whatever the case- we know that GM is on the job. It has been in kind of a "Loch-Ness-y" way but I still believe. 
I mean, the guy was yappin' with us on his own time and he got it. He understood what we wanted and he is a good designer.
That said, let's look at what we really want:
Player to Player Smuggling-
Gotta admit. This is a hard one to accomplish. The trick being giving something to people that they needus to carry. In a roundabout way- we will be smuggling for the playerbase because soon the only way to get spice will be to smuggle it and we are the only ones who can smuggle. Player wants spice- we smuggle spice- and deliver it to player. Now if they just made (all) spice useful.
Smuggler Bounties-
We're going to get NPC bounties, natch. I am also excited about hearing from FF that they ARE actively looking into player to player bounties and Smuggler Bounties. Couldn't happen soon enough.
New Specials- Mods- A Smuggler Weapon-
See the CU.
NPC Sidekicks:
GM was real down for this- I don't think it will happen but it would be a kickass surprise.
So, to sum up. Yeah. I'm still holdin' out. *Looks at In Developement Forums*
