Then why are you still here? Just to let us bask in the sunshine of your sparkling personality?


seriously, sorry you're so upset about slicing, but now that you've dropped smuggler, go away. We don't want or need your attitude here.

I'm waiting to get a response from GreenMarine or Tiggs - They posted a focus thread, got a ton of response, and haven't said word one since.

So I'm gonna give it a couple of weeks, and no - I'm not looking for any of the loot - It's just plain stupid that as a Master Smuggler I can't do any better than a Slicing 1 smuggler without uber-loot.

My problem is that I bought the game two years ago with one goal: Be a smuggler. If it doesn't change I'm not just changing professions, I'm out of MMO's entirely. (SWG is the only MMO I have _any_ interest in).

Really, if the devs wanted smugglers to not experience the heartache they currently are with Pub19....an IG email would have been sent to everyone in the smuggler profession warning them that crates wouldn't be convertable and to pull as many as possible.


Nice try, but no pie for you.

They never do that. Ever. There wasn't an "in-game" email for the CU and that was a lot bigger. It is a clearly stated policy that these forums are the only method of communication between SOE and the player base.






There was a whole bunch of system messages with CURB-related "advice", though...

I'm defeintely not a new or a respec smuggler. I've been a master smuggler for well over a year.


So far I'm not happy at all about this new slicing system. I'm one of the people still waiting for the big smuggler revamp that was supposed to happen close to a year ago.


I have to agree that I think it's wrong that as a master smuggler, or even someone with slicing 4, we have to pretty much start back with the novices. That's just wrong!!! SOE has posted in game messages before. When JTL first came out, there were several message about how and where to start your piloting career. Over the past two years, I have seen several messages come through

"in game mail" about important issues. There's no reason why they couldn't have here as well. Not only should we have gotten better instructions on how the new slicing works, we should have at least been given the starting tools (or had our tools converted). (And please don't say I could just read the forums, last night when I tried, they were just a bit unreachable)


If you're really upset and want to drop the profession....go for it. Between my 3 characters I've done most of them and just about all of them are broken in some aspect. Just look at what happened to the TK in the combat upgrade. (Or the creature handler in both his revamp and in the CU).


I do plan on giving SOE a little time to fix the bugs and see if they correct the mess they've created (though I won't hold my breath). Still, I plan on saving my last respec token....just in case............

Few months... I had to comment on this sorry lol.

A few months and you're as angry as the dickens.

I've been a smuggler for 48 months. I was angry at first but I grew up and have grown to enjoy the system. I already have components for 10 slices that I'm prepared to charge 400-500k a piece for.

D for teh win.

Wow 400-500k, I can't see how this could be goodfor the smuggler community at all. Not saying thatyou're trying to jack the prices up DigiDante...but given the difficulty in obtaining higher end slice components, I'm not surprised.


Is this really the direction the devs want the smuggler revamp to go?


Imho, are the higher end weapon slices really worth paying those kind of prices?


8% dmg and 12% spd...they don't really translate to that much of a benefit imo, considering thecosts.


The armor dmgmitigation 60% is a real nice slice I could see paying 400-500k, but still that's pretty expensive. The real problem is the SWG economy is soF'ing out of whack, ppl will be willing to pay these prices or even higher.


Someday I'd like to return to smuggling when the kinks get worked out of the new system.
