you categorized our revamp as 3rd priority? strange, i thought we were last behind the development of the new nuna mounts

No, but we ARE behind new Ithorian hair-do's and uglier armor for wookiees and ithorians alike.

The last promise was you will do it rightafter JTLS.
Smugglers, Squad Leaders and all the combat professions will benefit from the Combat Upgrade and I think we can all agree that Combat Upgrade should be our next biggest priority. As far as anything else goes, I can neither confirm nor deny anything because we don't know yet. As soon as we do, we'll talk about it when its "next".

I have been playing since Release, and one Profression I have never really thougt about trying was Smugler. Then a friend of mine told me that they were going to be revamping the class, and that I should read up on it. He is a Master Smuggler and has been Since Forever.... So I came here and started reading about the class as it stands currently, and then about the changes that are being proposed. So I thought to myself, "HEY! That sounds like it would be kool to do..." Needless to say since I read the articles here, and a bunch of the discussions about "Smuggler" I have become a 1,4,1,4 smuggler, and I for one say this.. WOOOOOOOTER WOOT... Smuggler as it stands could stand some tweaking, but I think it is a very Kool, and very Unique class all by itself.
1 Suggestion though, I think it would be kool if smuggler was able to use some of the TK stuff they spent so much time learning, or maybe change it out with some other skill tree line if possible one that would be more suitable to Smuggling. Alsoalmost every otherElite Fighting Class has some kind of KOOL weapon... Why can't smuggler's get a weapon of choice... Something that would be more respected in the Smuggler Community...
Well thats jut my 2credits
Thanx;

I have heard that there is to be a Smuggler Revamp. I would like to post a few Idea that I feel are Viable.
1st Spice, and Spice Creation
Spice was not just a drug in the Starwars Universe, the effects of spice were not to just increase your Health and Action....Spice was heavily controlled because if gave the user Temporary Force Powers. This is why Spice trafficing was so heavily moniterd by the imperials. I suggest that a Revamp of Smuggler change spice to what it was supposed to be. Give the layman the ability to use spice and take a Jedi Power for a little while. Thats what its supposed to do anyway. Make it so that the only way to obtain spice is to go to Kessel as it should be, and pick up the spice as a mission for a Hut or somthing. You get your cut of the smuggled Item after your return from your job....If you dont bring back the smuggled Item to your employer then obviously the employer should be able to hire a bounty hunter to come after you.
2nd Master Smuggler Special ability
Make it so that a Master Smuggler has the ability to go Overt or Covert at whimor make it so that he or she can turn others Overt or Covert status on and off based on thier request based on his or her faction. Just a thought. It would save alot of trouble of needing to search our bases when starting a Raid or an attack. I look forward to hearing opinions on my post. If you like it please 5 star it so that the Devs might take a look.

The Smuggler Revamp is far overdue and has been promised to us many many times and taken away 
. You shuold read up on that HERE. It'll give you a good understanding of the timeline and history of your profession.

Heya,
nice ideas you have there but i have to mention one thing:
there are different kinds of spices and only one of them gives you temp force powers and this force power is only the ability to read someones mind (this would be Glitterstim, btw the only spice that you can get on kessel).
Other spices like Yarrok can give you a clearer mind for a short time but on heavy use will damage your neuralsystem or something like that...
Ofcorse these are not the SWG versions of that spices.....
Btw Glitterstim is mentioned in the first book of the Jedi Academy Triologie and Yarrok in Palpatines eye (not sure whether this is the english title of that book).

At the moment i am BH 4-1-0-4 and started up the smuggler ladder as well but dropped most of it except slicing. I would just like to know, before i drop the whole thing, if there is a revamp actually coming or if its still all just rumour. If they should come up with smuggler mission terminals i guess i'll keep the smuggler and give it a go but right now, i dont see much interest in the prof.
People dont buy spices all that much and as for pistols its only just combat. I can do combat with my BH and get money out of it. A question though, does going up the underground tree allow you to understand jawa speak? if not, what does?

Latest we've heard about it is that some design work will be started during January, so it is on it's way; but as Dreven says, the CU comes first, so it'll bea while before you see anything on live.
