Smuggler Archive

I gave it a whirl last night. I really wanted to hate it. And parts of it, I really really do. I hate the bugs like mad. My girl and I filed probably 20 bug reports on assorted graphical glitches and weirdness. I don't like that all the guns that I paid millions for are now the same as everyone elses gun. I hate that guns that I could use before are now far above my level. But to be honest, its an improvement. I actually like where its going.

I still stand by my opinion that its a fustercluck. But now I can tell you why. It was released way too damn early. But I like it.

Thanks for the good advice guys!

Great to see some positive cu talk, after all the "sky is falling" crap people have been throwiung out since it went to test....

now about that smuggler revamp....

I LOVE the CU. After the bugs get worked out, this will be something great.

I noticed that smugglers all seem to be having a blast, I know I am. For those trying to get xp, get in a large group so you get to 80 and go to the DwB, I'm getting awsome xp there. Though it is slower than the last system it seems quicker due to enjoyment and playing rather than grinding.

Well as far as leveling goes...get off the core planets. While getting used to trying to solo at a low cl, I was cl 56 on starsider(80 on farstar), I was getting decent xp from tortons and kudfah's(not sure of spelling) on Rori. ATM nonaggressive creatures don't aid each other in combat...so since concussion still works like a root instead of a mez its easier to take on the nonaggressive creatures. Also check out the other adventure worlds like yavin, endor, and dath. You'll definitely want a team for dath though with at least one member thats level 80. Makloks(not sure of spelling) and brackasets are pretty safe missions to take. If you have multiple rooters on your team ya may want to try your luck against rancors. Just depends on how good your team is and how well versed tey are in post cu tactics. Many are still learning. I had some fun tonight killing stuff on dath...was annoyed a little by all the low level kiwis around though. Best bet is to clear out your hunting area prior to attacking the mission creatures...get rid of any possible low level annoyances in the area.

I am loving the CU!

One of my best friends in game is a smuggler/dancer and she can fight stuff now, which is so cool. We have been out hunting and just generally bringing mayhem and destruction wherever we go.

I am a TKM/M Smugg and have been hanging around with some BH friends, you know the adage, keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer, hehe, just kidding. Anyway, I've been playing tank a lot, but now and again I sneak my renegade out and let it dance all over the mobs.

I am really having a blast with these changes. Okay, yeah, the bugs suck, but hey, I am just keeping a positive attitude and enjoying the grouping factor.

Im absolutely loving the CU. maybe you guys are right, since we have been screwed for so long....any change to us...is a good change.

I've got to say that overall the CU isn't "that bad" like some people have been saying. The Jedi sure aren't happy about their experience problems which is understandable, I've witnessedtruely bad form from the Bounty Hunterslately that has put me even more against having player bounties onus, 3Bounty Hunters lvl 70 on up to 80shooting a lvl 64 Padawan that didn't even have time to ignite his lightsaber. My only real complaint formany of usis that the dodges from Pistoleerthat I enjoyed oh so much are gone (was just awesome to watch my character roll around dodging blaster fire) and the bolt color on my DE-10, DX-2 and Republic Blaster are all red instead of blueor green.

If I'm a greedy or incompetant enough Smuggler to warrant a player Bounty, I'll not expect a fair fight.

This Padawan should not have gained so much visibility. All power to the Bounty Hunters. They are the only thing that can stop every galaxy becoming purely Jedi warriors and alt crafter.

Before this gets any further, let me say that that line wasn't meant to hijack the thread. Lets keep on topic, please.

Holy Necro Post Batman. It seems more appropriate now than ever. I remember making this post many a moon ago.

I'm having trouble making it clicky...doh
