This one's a little on edge isn't he? Man, they are just asking the commandos what three things they really want fixed. They can still have one or two guys work on that while the rest of the team did other things. As far as smuggler missions? I'm not even going to worry about it until they start an "in development" as I've seen "in concept" disappear without a trace one too many times now. Also, man... commando is borked. It really needs fixing bad. Smuggler needs content, commando needs FIXED. Two differernt situations, that could possibly be done at the same time even. Take a chill pill for a bit, too early to get upset.

The ONLY things that seem to get fixed RIGHT, in this game, seem to be what Blixtev does in his "free time." If he is working on Commando, and others are working on Smuggler simultaneously, it does NOT bode well for Smuggler.

Commando really has received nothing in those 2.5 years except one nerf at the beginning. Smuggler at least has an EXTREMELY VIABLE role in combat right now and any group running without ibe us a group of idiots.

Commando AOE doesn't even work. They have no shot to do any damage with except RangedShot.






If this is how you feel, you are not a Smuggler. You are a pawn.

Nick,

I know i'm not the most vocal on here. Most of the time when I have time to chime in it has already been said. But as far as doing something. I did. I spoke with my checkbook. I canceled both my accounts. I'm not a day one smuggler, but I started playing when the game was 8 months old and the first profession I got was smuggler, and never dropped it. and as for jedi, heck, i accidently got glowy and had to get go over to FS board to find out what it meant.

As my Greatgrand mother taught me

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, shame on me.

I feel the shame no longer, SOE will not be getting any of my money for at least one year. At this time next year I will come back, if my stuff is still on the server I will determine if they deserve my patronage (if we can smuggle). If not, I will never purchase another service from SOE again.

SOE, you have disappointed me. I gave you my money for a service that was lacking in so many ways for far too long. The biggest disappointment is your lack of abilit or desire to develop relationships with the communities you have helped create.

Are you out of touch?
Do you not care about the communities you created?
Do you not understand that there are real people at the other end of the computer from you?
Or are we just numbers, facts and figures to you?


Dire
Master Smuggler (account canceled)

Never have you been able to smuggle.. NEVER! Why the heck did you pick this profession if you never could do what you want to do? No, I'm not a new Smuggler and no, I am not a Smuggler dabbler. But you should know by now promisses mean nothing to SOE. Whining and crying doesn't help either, so give it a break. You say you hate the forums because no one tries to get something done, I start to hate the forums because of all the crying..... The Smuggler forums begin to look like the friggin Jedi and BH forums.




"I have tried to design so people who wouldn't normally hang out together
come to realize each other's importance in the world,
the value of their roles in the society, that sort of thing.
So I try to have interdependence as a key feature
- people relying on each other"

I know your type. You're a Smuggler dabbler. You may be master now, but you are what you are. We had them since the beginning. People taking up Dirty Fighting just for Feign Death and Last Ditch. Smuggler is secondary to you.







actually what he is, is a carefully camoflaged troll.

Well I don't know if I did a good thing or a bad thing;I Respeced my Master Weaponsmith to Master Smuggler because I Lost the urge to craft,and always wanted to Play a Smuggler.I read through GreenMarines sticky thread and was impressed with the way this community explained in detail what they wanted;I have tons of patience as I have been playing a MCH for some time and made it through Nerf after Nerf too finally enjoy the Love which was given in our revamp.I will have to say that even though they added a few Stealth nerfs in the Revamp I am overall pleased with the New CH.I hope that the Developers take into consideration everything this community has asked for in the revamp and get it right,Waiting for it will not kill this proffession.But waiting a long time and then they get it wrong would;If they take a long time and get it right Smuggler could become the proffesion it should be and sounds fun.So until then I will just enjoy the Pie and Beer.And try not to annoy the Veteran Smugglers with my Respec newbie questions.

And for those that are saying "oh Helios is just asking a simple question" and that crap about it being nothing, you're ignorant. In other words, "not knowing". If they have all this fabulous Smuggler contentthat is slated for us, where is it? Why are we going around in circles?


See this is what happens. It starts out innocently enough with you new people sitting on your butts and just ignoring it and brushing it aside. Then you're waiting another 6 months because the next expansion or game gimmickpushed us off because some other profession bumped in front of us, you'll start whining and crying and complaining.


I've been there. I've seen it. I've experienced it. I'm one of the old dogs that was learning the in's and out's of this profession when you didn't either own a toon or were off doing something else. We fought for answers and got them throught filabuster posts and PMs and conversations. But you new blood, you're all dead. You don't exist in this forum unless you need to find out where to loot Shock Absorbant Padding, ask about the next ubah slice, or to post the same frickin' "I know how we can Smuggle!" idea that's been proposed 10 times before you 2 years ago.


You new smugglers, you trust me and Keck and Fish and others that were in the thick of it in this profession from the start. This is part of a vicious cycle that this profession goes through. I've called it in the past and I have yet to be wrong.


I'm justa grizzled old war veteran that has been through the stuff and I know what's coming unless you people get up and find out what's going on. Sheesh...

And for the record people...


We are IC AGAIN. Which means absolutely nothing for 2 reasons:


1. Commando's aren't even listed and they're being talked to about what needs fixed. Meanwhile, zero discussion here. Ranger and SL, who have been discussed with their communities and they still haven't had their revamps completed. We're still sitting here waiting for the discussion to begin.


2. We've been IC before. We've been ID before. We're not getting anything anytime soon. We're not getting anything in November that everyone else is getting by buying the expansion.


Be a fanboy if you want, but don't fool yourself by thinking soon means before the end of the year.


As far as Commandoes go, I got no problem with them, but the way I look at is, anything getting developer time means that's less time spent on Smuggler. That means it's either pushed further out or gets a less thorough job done on it.


Call me selfish if you want, but OVER 2 YEARS OF WAITING WOULD MAKE ANY PROFESSION THAT WAY. (2 years, not since CU for all you posers thatkeep posting on the subject.)


They're not that way because none of them have been waiting like we have... well at least none of the others once Ranger gets finished.
