Thread: What does everyone want as a question for the next 19 answers?
It would seem that 1 and 3 could be combined but 3 IS worded nicely as Yimaz mentioned.
If the doc is indeed done by late tonight maybe we can get an answer to that sooner- but frankly, I think that's the most pressing question.
Asking anything about the current ground smuggler profession changes will likely be dismissed as "Publish 11". They ignored most posts when we were scheduled for Publish 9, why would they pay attention now?
Best question to ask would be about our role in the space expansion, and if they expect our current role in the "ground game" to change before the release of JtL. We may trick TH into saying something contrary to what he has currently said about Publish 11.
Looks like the majority is leaning towards a JTL question. I want to go on board again saying that i seriously doubt they will answer anything regarding JTL but if that is thepreference of the community so be it.
With 99 or so missions for you to complete, I have a feeling that a portion of these will be smuggler missions that will be available to all professions, and by professions i mean the professions being added in JTL. Something along the lines of blockade running or taking something illegal from the Tattoine sector to the Corellia sector etc. Which will be smuggleresque in nature but will have nothing to do with us as a class, I mean they add smuggler contentto SWGand try to give it to everyone, and we have a smuggler class.
I think that the question for JTL should be very broad in order to get an answer. With it being narrow as realted to our class.
Will there be content in the JTL that is specific to the existing classes in SWG, or will all content be for the new classes being created in JTL. Specifically, as it has been mentioned thatsmugglers are seen more as a "spaced based" class, will there be smuggler missions in JTL that are available to only smugglers or will there be smuggler typemissions available to anyone that has, and can fly, a ship?
if they are not going to answer any questions about the re-vamp why would they answer any questions about SE? All you have to do is read the 19 questions post to see that they are for sure not answering ANYTHING about SE. Also the dev's have made it clear that there is no roll for us in SE.

I wish i knew where i seen it i think it was on the E3 posts. They did not come right out and say it but in was implyed that this SE is a different game the planet side and is a combat NPC mission based style of play. Really what do you expect to see with smuggler and SE? Im sure we might have a stash place or somthing but SE is not smugglers in space, just read all the dev/E3 post and you will see that.

This is important information, because they have told us we should wait for the space expansion for a long...long time.
Even at E3 they are quoted as to saying smugglers were a space profession.
So before going any further, I'd like to see where they said that if you could. If that is true, they are going to have one very pissed smuggler on their hands. I'm tired of getting kicked around.
One of the Four Horsemen of the Smuggler Apocalypse! 
The pertinent info:
Four new professions and two new customizable species are introduced to the online universe with this pack. Players who choose to become pirates and mercenaries will have a field day. Smugglers will get new options in this game. You'll be able to loot druids, generators and shields from ships and give them to artisans on the ground to build new things.
This is taken with a grain of salt, as it is after all the internet, but maybe it is worth pursuing...

It's our turn again (May 26) as TH posted his latest 19 answers, so it's back to us again.
What do you all want for your question?
Personally I want information on the space expansion. If they are going to keep saying we are more of a space expansion profession, while having us work on our revamp, I'd like to know what they have in order to back the nature of their statement.
If smugglers are more of a space expansion profession,this revamp should be part and parcel to that, so I just feel we need to know what they have in mind so we can work with it.
That's where my thoughts are going, but I do want to hear from everyone else so we can get it together by fridayperhaps.
*look down at the last line of his sig*
one word:
WHEN?

The fact that our revamp has been postponed until after the JTL launch should be a clue that we've got nothing new coming anytime soon. Last I heard, we're in line behind the GCW revamp in pub 11 (early September?), JTL (October 15 is the rumor)--that sounds like mid-November at the earliest to me.
As for the questions:
1) JTL/revamp, see above
2) Spice downer: What is the question here exactly? Are you proposing that we ask to get it changed, or that we ask for the reason why it was changed and why it's going to stay as it is now? Or are you asking if the information that you (Caylin) have about it can be made public?
3) How big is our revamp--this is a vague question that will get a vague answer at best.
I'm just one voice here, but I really don't see the usefulness of any of these questions.
There was a mention of a new spice that might sneak in to publish 9, how about a confirmation/denial of that?

Its true, we may all have differnt view on this and that and we all read into things differently. The dev's and TH are always double talking and the fact isnone of us have any clue about anything.I think it is making us all a little nuts. Im starting to feel like we are all right. I know for a fact based on everything they have said and done that they will not give us info on SE but you know they may very well not give us anything on the re-vamp as well. Maybe we should as this:
Smuggler has been a profession (to use the dev's own words) that has needed love for almost a year. Yet we are pushed back pushed off and never give any information. We dont know if we will be a SE profession or a planet side professtion. We dont know if our re-vamp will be ground up or just an update. We dont know if our re-vamp idea's are going to be considered or not. In short we as a communtiy have been patiant and understanding and have gotten nothing in return. Please, our communtiy is tried of fighting with each other, give us some direction and or vision of what you see us as and where we are going. Please....
It has been approximately one year since Star Wars Galaxies has been launched. In that time the Smuggler community has been promised "love" virtually with every publish. We are said to be a jack-of-all trades profession, yet are currently unable to excel in any aspect of this game. Since our revamp has been tentatively scheduled for Publish 11, since we are currently developing a community vision statement in conjunction with this revamp, since we have been told we are a "space-based profession" and JTL is around the corner, what roll, if any, do the developers at SOE see the smuggler profession having? Please state in specific terms and examples how the smuggler profession will become a viable and integrated part in the gameplay of Star Wars Galaxies."
