I guess that means that it is ok to punish legitimate grinders who work for combat xp for trade in as opposed to the grenade throwing lamers....who exploited the system...lets just screw everyone at the same time and not try and fix the grenade xp issue...it's much better to kill 2 birds with 1 stone...we can stop the exploiting and slow down those people who are grinding fs to become jedi....that way they will probably keep playing and paying...no matter what we do to them.


Yeah...I'm still on about this...


It's a poor way to treat honest people and asad attempt to slow down those who have legitimately worked to get FS up untill this point....






Maybee...but theres to many jedi...so you lose.






I like how the devs are griefing all the people who are trying to be jedi.


It shouldn't matter how many Jedi there are. I should have the equal oppertunity to get Jedi at the same pace as those who came before me.







Oh get off your high horse. Say that to the freshmen in california who are going to have to wait will thier 18 to get drivers licenses. The softmores (like my brother) are just fine and can get thiers at 16 and a half.


You want to be griefed? Play my template. Master SL master Smuggler.


I'm soory you didn't jump on the band wagon soon enough to reap the rewards.






I've been playing this game for over 2 years...I know a lot about gimped profession. I am a smuggler....I was a ranger....a droid engineer...a bio engineer....and I never even attempted to try squad leader. I was a wookiee...who ground out master combat professions solo on tatooine...before there were any type of buffs. Don't talk down to me just because I don't have a 5000 post count jr. I have likely been playing this game as long as most people here. Before you go and talk smack about a person...make sure you get your facts straight.


and btw....where I live...u can get your liscence at 16







Just because your a vet doesn't mean you can comprehend english.


I give up.


How petty.

Ouch. I feel for you. I was a squad leader once. Now that toon is my Merchant/WS/Artisan/Mule/Bank, ect. 2+ years into the game and not only is SL still borked, but the CU also screwed melee professions (when is the last time you saw a FENCER running around?).







It happens, but only ocmbined with others. You know thats the only elite triple master you can have? TKA, Fencer, swordsmen.


Its quite handy.


P.S. SL isn't so bad if you hand pick your guild's proffesions...


EDIT: BTW, im looking for commando/crowd controlers. (oh wait, they are borked too...drat)

The point is, we heard it all before, but when are you (meaning SOE, not you personally Tiggs) going to deliver? That's the problem, you see: we've had so many broken promises that there's hardly anyone around that will take the above statement seriously. At least I know that I'll believe in it when I see it, not one second sooner.


And anyway, what happened to JFreeman's "We're going to stop promising a Smuggler Revamp we never seem to get around to deliver"?? Maybe you should heed that advice, Tiggs. Because making promises like this only opens you up to flames, when yet again your Dev team won't come through.







I try not to make promises I can't keep =)

Its so bitter-sweet to hear you say that. On one hand, it means we might actually be getting it, on the other, I dare not think that for a moment, chancing that it probably wont happen and I am disapointed again.


Hey Tiggs, I know its not your fault, but its kinda dis-hearting to read the forums these days. Its kinda suckin. (see prvious posts)

And go to sleep, we need you at your best to try to save this game.

Dang...smugglers get all the Dev attention recently.


From one community that's been broken for a while to another, I must say I'm happy. It looks like Smugglers and Squad Leaders are going to be getting love in the near future, and as a Ranger, I want to send a big /cheer to anybody who's hung around those professions. I hope they continue this trend they seem to be on of fixing the things that actually need to be fixed before making the professions that don't need changes top priority.


I'm happy for you guys, but I'd really like to kidnap tiggs and send her to the Ranger forum. We haven't had a red-name post since May, except for the standard "looking for correspondant" and " please welcome your new corr" posts.


Hmmm...that could be some smuggler content. I'll pay a Smuggler 5 million credits to smuggle Tiggs onto the Ranger forums for a day. Any takers?

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

you opened the gate, and i'm stepping through. do tell us about these longterm goals. we, the players, should really have an opportunity to approve or disapprove of them.





In the next few weeks there will be more information on this.






Oh good, because this discussion chat session told us nothing we didnt already know. If anything, I feel it was mostly to defend that the expansion isnt a Jedi centric themepark. We learned nothing new.


If the devs were really in touch, they'd realize we dont want this. We want a solid game. We're upset because you have staff that could be working on these issues, but instead, you have them working on an expansion we never asked for.


I remember when Smedley said in November that they hired 20 new people to work on SWG. You and I know thats not whats happening here.


So quit beating around the bush, give it to us straight for once and tell us whats REALLY going on.


I suspect the higher ups know this game is borked beyond the point they're willing to repair. This is why they're focusing on expansions for quick money because they know they're not making it through subscriptions.


This is such a poor reasoning for this kind of business practice! If they fix the game, the subscriptions will come... and stay.


I guess I'm mostly upset because I've recently started playing EQ2. I see a SIGNIFICANT amount of effort in EQ2, a game that couldnt HOPE to approach the popularity of the Star Wars legacy. Whats the sense in this?


Is it just me or is it really short sighted to brag about selling 1 million copies of SWG, but have barely 200k subscribers? You know what that means? It means 1 in 5 people are able to tollerate "the total experience" of SWG. The rest have cancelled accounts.


Not only is SOE shooting themselved in the wallet, they're destroying their credibility as a leading, cutting edge game producing entity in a HUGE way.

Really thanks for speaking for me, and for others i know in game who have discussed the forthcoming expansion and decided we want it and are looking forward to it.


Just because YOU dont want the expansion, doesnt mean no one wants it. There are plenty of people looking forward to it, i know i will be pre odering








Cant complain with more content, but there is no doubt about it... anyone happy with this expansion is in the minority. Its one of many diversions to the issues that have needed fixing since release.


So be happy with your week and a halfworth of content. When you're done, you can join the rest of us again.
