Thread: New Smuggler Disapointed

The biggest threat to the survival of the smuggler profession is the extreme proliferation of WHINEY-A$$ posers claiming to be smugglers but acting like j3di.
Yes, indeed, all the twits who respeced to smuggler as the FOTM because they wanted to expliot our unbalanced Concussion shot or wanted cheap/easy slicing are upset. Hopefully, they'll be moving on -- soon. Very soon.
Don't let them get you down. Smuggler is a great profession and has been consistantly improving. I suggest that you give the profession a month or two to get used to it. Our combat is very different b/c of our crowd control. The new slicing will take some getting used to, but it is significantly better than the random slicing we were saddled with before.
You can bail out now after working your way up, but I think you'd be cheating yourself based on the poorly-founded opinion of others.

ROFL!
Nice one!
I guess thats the difference between you and those of us that have been playing the Smuggler profession from the start. We are in it for the long haul, the good and the bad. I started this game with a Smuggler character and he is still my main, I will never drop Smuggler till I decide to actually stop playing SWG. Smuggler 4 life, not Smuggler till the profession gets bad then stop and then start when they fix it. No offense intended just trying to portray the mentality of us true Smugglers.

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.

well hopefully whatever I move to will be better then this crap..
I know Angus has already called dibs on your smuggler stuff, so can I have your pie and your beer?
My main character has been MS since 2 days before the CU. ( ground out the spice tree real fast in fear of the CU ) I've been a smuggler overall about 6 months pre CU.
I will not drop it. I ground this out, not respeced. Just as MP. I worked for these titles, and for better or worse I'm keeping them. Hopefully smuggler will get fixed, if not, I'll be a nerfed smuggler forever.
I picked smuggler originally for the companion for master pistoleer, and so I could buy faction to get my stormtrooper armor cheaper. ( Got a slap in the face with that ) I honestly never sliced a weapon for anyone other than myself,( ground out slicing from crates of survival knives )or until now made any spice.
But I guess I'm a smuggler for life.......that really doesn't do any smuggling.

In your sig, you have that you are a tka.... Isn't TKA still Jack'd up? I know what you can try for your second profession...commando! Then you would really be hating your life.
When you need to have your armor sliced, just give a hollar in this forum. I'm sure that you will get a special price for being a previous smuggler...butt nugget.

None taken. 
My alt (ex smuggler)was supposed to be my fun char whenthe boring jedi grind became just too much. I didn't join SWG to play asmuggler but the idea of wheelin' n' dealin' goods/faction pts/slicing items definitely appealed to me. What has becomeof this professionatm as a result of pub19 is anythingbut fun, imo.Why do something, you don't take pleasure in. I have to do enough unpleasurable things in RL....like work!!!
Bestthing you could do is get the devs to reinstate thearmor/weapon smiths role in the slicing industry by allowingthem to create simple and finely crafted toolkits. Then young and upcoming smuggler's could atleast be involed if they lack a good lootin' crew or guild.

I'm in it for the long haul like you said.
I'm truely happy with the state of slicing. I'm glad that I am able to charge this much for slicing, it has needed to been done. People were use to sliced goods being extremely readily available, it is about time they are rare and sought after.
