My girl Veela gets upset when people don't believe her so you better start back peddlin' real quick a'fore she finds out.






Down Hotdog, down, I am not attacking Veela. lol

I asked who was the Dev and who was "one of us" and you answered. I have no trouble believing Veela. Just never saw any names before you answered me (true that I have been offline for a while so might have missed it.) so had no idea it was her.

I know there was a bad story a while back about some not believing her so gonna forgive your protectiveness.

I think Yim was with her when he said it too, but I could be mistaken. I know all this hurt Veela because she got attacked over some people not actually comprehending what they were reading, and then to postpone us again was really crappy for her.


I wouldn't let anyone call her into question (not that you are Laughing), and anyone who doesn't believe all this just doesn't know the people involved or the score between SOE and us.

Not sure if you read the dev posts they have said that the FRS is on the backburner for the time being. Personally with toons as both I would rather see the smuggler system

Personally, I'd be fine with every Jedi account to mysteriously disappear from the game. In this time period we play in, there was only 1 known Jedi (Yoda who is livingin a slimy mud-hole)...and 2 Sith (Emporer and Vader). Nothing ticks me off more than getting off a shuttle on Dantooine and seeing 4-5 Jedi's dueling in front of everyone. Then jumping back on and heading to Mos Eisley...to see another 2 Jedi's dueling each other. Then jump back on to Coronet...and, you guessed it...MORE Jedi.


Either wipe them out completely, or change the f*cking timeline already. Its slap in the face to Lucas himself (and the world he created) having all these Jedi flinging their lightsabers by the hundreds. And dancing around in their boxers and backpacks.

They have said (to one of us at fan fest) that the Smuggling missions are complete with the exception of dialogue.


They have said that they have LA approving the new FRS system (I think that was done long ago actually).


They have said that they will not release any new content for a while in order to focus on ingame bugs.



SO this is the question.


What do you think will happen first?

The FRS or the Smuggling missions?


And on a side note: I personally think they are heavily debating introducing Bounties on the player base and the consequences thereof- This might be the reason for the delay in our missions.


If it IS I say, introduce the bounties already! God knows that thousands of players would return for that reason alone-

You wanna save this game? Do the bounties!





Ok, don't like to have to flame our own, but I do this outta love....


OMFG! Are you serious? C'mon, you can't really be that stupid as to ask a question like this. You know damn well that the Jedi get first love on anything. Ok look, we'll just leave and pretend this thread never happened, k?

Oh I understand. No I am not calling her into question. Why would I? She is a reliable source of information, and NEVER lied to us.

Never thought you would... I was just pointing out that you either don't know who it involves or you don't know the score.


In your case, you didn't know who was involved.

EXTRA REALITY: (And by the way, this isn't meant as an insult oranything Chem, just more thoughts on the subject)


More players are currently non-jedi than jedi. Many players don't care if their profession gets attention immediately, they just want to see things happening for some profession other than Jedi or BH.



Alright, let's put on the breaks right here and now..


When have the BH's ever gotten even 1/10th of the attention that Jedi have gotten.


Sure, we got our skill tree re-vamped with the CU, so did smugglers. We got our skill point requirement dropped, and you got a new slicing system. Am I missing something, or up until that point aren't we about even in the grand scheme of things.


We only recently got working missions with an actual reward for doing them. And this is less of a patch for BH's than it is for Jedi and Smugglers. Because now most BH's are hunting loot and not Jedi. It was done to give the Jedi even more ease in grinding their way to master without ever engaging in pvp, producing even more useless master Jedi.


If your upset because we get some missions with loot, don't be. The majority of our loot is for you to use, not us or anyone else. They provided a good source for slicing parts and even if there might be some crack-pot BH's charging hundreds of thousands of credits for these things, have no fear. I can fill a house with smuggler loot in a week, so the market will be flooded and these parts will be pretty cheap if they aren't already on your server.


Bounty Hunters have been beaten down just like everyone else for two years, so please don't go pointing a finger at us. The slicing changes are obviously the first part of the changes to your profession. It took forever to get here, but so did the CU and everything else. It took two years for BH droids to start working right, and DE's mentioned it to the dev's every chance they got. Your not alone, everyone has gotten the cold shoulder because of Jedi, even the BH's.


PS: To stay on topic, the FRS will return and likely be updated 5 times so the Jedi might be happy for 30 seconds before any smuggling missions will be added I'm sure.

I beleive Veela, but I think whoever told her was telling a dirty, sad lie. Hell, if dialouge was all that was needed, put me in a f*cking chair right now, and I'll write it for you!!! And trollers, please don't use the slicing revamp as an example of "smuggler love"... Its a sorry excuse of a nerf bomb in a pretty package. We won't get smuggling missions forever. They will add the FRS system, and we will throw it into their faces that its "new content" and they lied to us... They will just lie and say that it "Was a bug, and therefore had to be fixed"... You can tell with their lowblow attack with the "Tuesday Tip" that they don't give a crap about us. And as for that, here's my new macro:


/rude;


/emote gives %NT the Secret Smuggler Salute by waving his middle finger into the air, to the Dev's, and TH;


I suggest we start using it.


P.S. I don't want to defend jedi being here, but techniquely, Yoda, Vader and Palpatine isn't counting all of them. There was also the dark jedi C'baoth, and the Emperor's right hand, Mara Jade (though she lost most of her power when the emperor died, that still means she had some of it at this point)

Well, here's the thing:

1. GreenMarine told me that stuff.

2. GM no longer works for SOE.


Therefore, all conversation had between us is now null and void.

This sucks, but oh well.



V E E L A "her royal hawtness"
I am Jack's Smirking Revenge. I am Jack's Ignored Profession.
Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...


That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.

Editor's Note: The author of the above post has quit giving SOE her money. She suggests you do the same, because this game will never be what you want it to be.

Yeah but that's obviously not your fault, Veela.

Really too bad tho, about GM leaving SOE. Ah well.

The FRS will come first, of course.


I sure hope I am wrong. But two years of experience tells me to have "Lowered Expectations."


Hey, does anyone else remember that from SNL? LOL!
