Well I'm taking my server reset break after spending much of my day killing Black Suns in space (you all know why) and finding absolutely NOTHING; so I decided to explore the smuggler forums. This is truly a sad eye-opener for us all, I remember a lot of that stuff when it happened, or was stated, and how upset I was when it always fell through. I never saw this thread untill now and thought it must have been triggered by our new slicing situation, but then I saw the date... Maybe it's my lack of sleep but this whole situation seems completely rediculous and I'm stuck wondering "what other game; where else does this kind of thing ever possibly happen?" Well, I'm getting the feeling that nomatter what we say or do, the whole game and especially our beloved profession isn't going to be what we want it to be. So I return to my search for the Illegal Core Booster: the thing that today, is the most important part of being Master Smuggler. =/ I look forward to your update Arsani; good luck.

Another delay for our revamp from Tiggs!!!


Someonewrote in another post:




  1. Smugglers still can't smuggle.
    Since release. Since PRE-release. Since...
    Mission terminals, space quests, slicing mini-game, bounty hunters.. the pieces are all out there, just put them together for us! Give me a reason to use my YT-1300 and give me a chance to be interdicted and fight or evade detection with a secret compartment.. And the new loot system is horrible. I was optimistic at first, but the fact that the components don't stack, the rarity of the high end items (ICB, Mandalorian Intraframes, etc.) is insulting.

Then Tiggs wrote:


We are currently focusing on fixing what is currently broke. New features will be move out to a longer term implementation.

Stick Smugglers on the BH terminals that what i would like to see.


Smugglers should be hunted down for slicing, moving sliced good, spices etc. They should not be cause to gain decay when they die should be like the rebel/imperial overt battles..


Bit of the good old PvP. Smugglers agains BH's. Also should have smuggling quests for partiqular items where they have to get past imperial scans etc.


Put some more story line back into the game..

Nothing.

9th August 2005 -

Thunderheart kicks smugglers in the face via Tuesday Tip, essentially rubbing the profession's collective face in the fact that their "content" is limited to an emote.

10th August 2005-
Tiggs claims that this was not an intentional insult.

Wow...Just wow. I knew you guys were getting the shaft, but I had no idea it was this bad.


I mastered Smuggler in 1 day (Thanks new Combat system, and making smuggler IDENTICAL to the Pistol tree!)


As soon as I mastered it I dropped it, of course. It's sad that such a cool profession can be so worthless.

After two plus years of broken promises, delays, bait and switches, and outright lies, a Developer finally, for once, tells us the truth.

It's very unlikely we'd ever do a full profession revamp for smugglers anyway.

I about broke down when I read that. I've been in this since the ground game was in beta ... and tonight I'm going to load up my account settings to see when I expire ... clearly they aren't interested in creating a STAR WARS environment.
