I also support the loot system over the obvious removal of the "breaking" system. While I liked the high risk that entailed, i think that moving components to loot drops is fair enough. It also brings it more in line with current crafting, where one needs to loot that rare schema or component.

If the Devs are now looking at us a full fledged combat profession, then it makes sense to move these things to a combat oriented reward.

I would hope that once a Smuggling system is developed and implemented that these rewards would either be replaced by Smuggling rewards or be included in Smuggling rewards as well asloot.

I for one, as a die-hardSmuggler am excited to haveSmuggler specific loot that means something. Now all we need is to get some SEA's that enhance our Slicing skills!

You misinterpreted what I was saying. To me Plan A is the mini-game that was described in the "In-Concept"earier this year (and now suddenly missing from the forums). Plan A-1 is what we ended up with on TC...definitely NOT the mini-game.

The mini-game (as described by SOE) obviously did not make it to the game, butit was supposed to be the first part of the Smuggler Revamp...making it Plan A in my book.

Hope that clears it up a bit

I think this a terrible idea and I am now completely against these changes. This is ridiculous. I always thought that the strongest aspect of star wars galaxies and what set it apart and gave it an identity among cookiee-cutter mmo's was the player crafting system and that almost everything in the game was player made.

Why is this game moving towards loot more and more? If I wanted to play a game that required farming spawns, I'd play EQ2.

Please, give the schematics for these components to weapon and armorsmiths. I'm begging you. I'm not a crafter, but I believe that the devs should be supporting the player crafters instead of shutting them out of everything (which you have been doing A LOT).

I was so looking forward to the slicing changes. Now it's making me sick to my stomach. Please quit turning this into a loot game. That crap is not fun, not immersive, makes it harder to RP, and I believe it's extremely damaging to the health of this game.



NO LOOT COMPONENTS PLEASE!!!!

This system provides ZERO risk to the person holding the contrband.

This system simply makes it more difficult for smugglers to slice - must go farm something first.

The only risk is on the smuggler who is out farming (and yes, GM - we will have to do this - I have a Weaponsmith alt trust me ... I can rarely play him any more out of frustration of the constant "do you have any uber drop-x pistols? No? email me when you do".).

IAWTC!

I quit WoW to come back to SWG because that crap gets boring after 3 months. Now SWG is turning into WoW. WTH am I supposed to go to if I have to quit SWG?

I have been in many a group in SWG.....I have yet to see one set their loot options to lottery

You must hang out with the wrong groups. The other option would be to form the group yourself so you can set the loot option yourself.

For the contraband scans, I think if anyone fails (regardless of faction), they should be shipped off to the imperial prison on dathomir, where all the illegal items in their inventory are being held onto by the guards, as well as their vehicles. They would have few options: a) attempt to kill gaurds, reclaim their items and escape, or b) use their non-illegal items to do somesort of quest (quell a prison riot or something), and then they could leave.

Oh, and you should have to wear an orange jumpsuit and be roommates with a convicted wookie sex offender, whos frisky and lonely.

Prison rules.

I just wanted to make sure my name was on this long string.... hi.

I would prefer crafting tools where resource stats mattered and you need to Experiment but I like this system with loot drops alot better then just "enchanting" items. Much more Star Wars feel when you need to use tech items or tools rather then things just happening magiacally.
