Thread: Smuggler Revamp Delayed
I have to say that I am both happy and sad about this. I am happy because I want it done right, but I am sad because we now have to wait until pub 11 for this. Are we going to get any love between now and then to at least make our existing skills that are borked useful (FD and panic shot for example)? I don't believe it is intentional TH, but some times it feels like the smuggler community is being strung along constantly with the light at the end of the tunnel being the revamp. I really do hope that this is not only done in a way that is acceptable to our community, but that the date does not shift from pub 11. I would be willing to bet that as things are now, many don't want to wait any longer and will be moving on as this has grown a bit tiresome. I would highly recommend, if you have not done so already, to read our documented history of smugglers and SOE:

This may give some context to why many smugglers have grown tiresome of revamp promises.
I still think this game is fun for a smuggler, so I will stick it out until pub 11, but if that date is missed i really do think i will also be moving on.
Exept .. For ... ONE ... THING ...

This is a good thing....its stinks that we have to wait another 2 or months for it but I would rather have a full revamp than an enhancement.
I have been a master smuggler for a long time and as strange as this sounds, a delayed revamp is a whole lot more promising than what I have been reading lately. Thanks for the post TH.

Hmm... I've said it before and I'll say it again. This whole game is one big beta test until the expansion comes out. What hasn't been nerfed or revamped? So yeah... my account has already been canceled. I'll reactivate it when some progress has been made.
Cheers.
Not sure if you've ever playeda MMORPG before but none of them are ever static. They progress, evolve and change constantly. So to say that this game is in beta just because it is constantly being tweaked is just plain wrong. It will never be "finished". This genre is completely different from any other and the sooner you realized that and just enjoy what is there at the moment the happier I think you'll be. Live in the present.
Having said that, if you're really not having fun, stop playingandgo play something you enjoy!

Since it is delayed, I would love to see the re-vamp include some space skills. Take the unused tree we have now and use them for items involved in the space expansion. Smuggling suggests the moving of items. Give us skills in space, unique to our profession.
I imagine this may be impossible, or undesirable since space is seperate coding, and you want the revamp available to everyone and not just people who buy JTL. In my opinion Bounty Hunter, Squad Leader, and Smuggler should get some special abilities in space.
I was just about to post the same thing
I really hope smugglers can use there skills in the space expansion too...
TH, you are a great great person and one day someone will write songs about you!
And as for that whole "best reaction to a negative announcement," just remember that we're smugglers. We buck the trend!
Wow... thanks for being so understanding!!! We will try to make this all it can be, and involve you as much as we can!

Hehe, just get it right. We'll hold you to this.
Edit: By the way, Publish 11... that's the first publish after the Space Expansion right?
