Hey now,.....we're Smugglers here,..capital S....we don't go attacking our own.
Wes is a Smuggler and a player..just like you and me. The thing about being a correspondent is you have to 1). Keep the masses from rioting. 2). Stick up for your people.
Thats not kissin butt,..thats being a leader. Wes just got on the job anyway,..give him a chance.

Anyways,...

I really hope we won't be getting the shaft on this....if I get shafted anymore I am going to have to open my a$$ up to strip mining. I really really don't want that.

SHAFT!

I have to ask the question what is the point of wanting a revamp before the combat changes (now being called an "upgrade")?

From all the rumours about the"upgrade" the changes are going to be sweeping and any "revamp" that happens before them will be made pointless by these changes.

Personally I want the combat changes first to see what is going to work in the new system THEN fix smuggler. and not have to have smugler fixed multiple times.

Been tellin us that for a while now.

JTL>Combat Upgrade>Profession Revamps & GCW

While I would have liked that combat upgrade done by Christmas, seems it will take a bit longer. They have told us we're at the top of the pile for profession revamps in the past and given my correspondence with them I don't think that has changed in the slightest.

Thats what I always thought.

I think a combat rebalance is due first.We cant get a fix with ourpistol moves (Or whatever we will get) yet, since theywould be changing our movesto the way the combat system is right now. That would just make more work for the DEVs later down the road and more nerfing to our profession. In the end it really isnt a good idea if we get our profession done now.Better to get later then right at this moment.

Dont get me wrong, I would do anything to have our profession working at lest 70% decent

Im here, just has I always have been, and I dont belive Im going to go anywere anytime soon.

Because Combat is a very small part of being a Smuggler, thus anything they do will have minimal effect on us.

Right now, THE most glareing problem with the Smuggler Profession is that WE CANNOT SMUGGLE ANYTHING.

There is NO content for Smuggling at all.

No amount of "Combat Upgrade" will fix this.

Not quite, The entire line of Dirty Fighting will be affected. Slicing Effects will need to be Combat Bala....errrr Upgraded.The Spice line will need to be Combat Upgraded. Three of our 4 lines WILL be impacted in some way by the upgrade. How? won't know untill you get into the Beta testing. Then it will be unchanged.

When and if the Smuggler Revamp takes places, certain things will not be changed. Feign Death, will it even exist after the upgrade?. Selectable slices, amounts will be combat balanced -- most likely reducing one stat and increasing another. Spice will be balancedagainst foods/buffs. The underworld line will be GCW balanced.Whatever, is left to do could hardly be called a revamp. More likely a patch

Guess time is quickly running out for the devs to please us. I was actually bored in game last night and am finding it very difficult to find new things to do. All i wanna do is smuggle but that is NEVER gonna happen. I think Everyone is starting to realise that we are never going to get a revamp and i feel really duped. If its not got a lightsaber the devs dont wanna know.

SOE, DEVS. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD DO NOT LIE TO US ANYMORE. IF YOU WERE MORE HONEST TO US ABOUT OUR PROFFESSION WE'ED BE MORE WELCOMING TO YOU GUYS.

Yea, thats pretty new too.

Dunno when I got it

Anyways, I guess by the lack of outrage I see in responce to this, most of the Smugglers have iether given up and left or have gone completely apathetic.

This is a sad, sad day.

I've given up. My smuggler wannabe has gone the way of the dodo. There's too much broken stuff, useless stuff and missing stuff to justify the time and effort in the profession. The revamp announcement is the final nail, following no jtl slicing for me.

I'm on valcyn, I have some (not alot) slicing gear for any noob smuggler hopefuls.

As I've said before, SOE could not care less if you drop smuggler. As long as you maintain an account and play by the rules, they really don't care what you think or do. The only way you'll get their attention and send a message is to quit at this point.

Look, every tactic has been tried. Contrite negotiations, board petitions, in-game protests, you name it, people have done it. Where's it gotten 'em? Nowhere. If what you want to do is send a message, do it with your wallet. That's all SOE will listen to.

Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the ride to the best you can. If SOE doesn't know what smugglers want at this point, their either doing it to piss you off, unbelievably deceitful, willfully blind, or complete morons. Or some combination thereof.

No smuggler concerns have changed since day 1, aside from the Slice II/IV switch, the fact that SLICING IS ENTIRELY RANDOM (for those of you who don't know) being finally settled, and the NEW issue of crates being a pain now. That's it. Everything else is the same and in the "pristine" condition it was when this game went live.

If they say "So, what is it you want again?" to you guys, I encourage you to respond "1.) your head on a platter, and 2.) to cancel my account. Bye!"
