Thread: We all need nicknames

You act as if they were trying to get something different than we are.
The Smuggling missions and slicing system came now, despite all that they did. It's late, but they were being promised the revamp then too. Yes, their efforts got responses. But the responses have all turned out to be lies.
I've b*tched, I've ranted.
Most recently I asked nicely for the Devs to respond and give us some kind of info about smuggling.
You want an inside edge? Our most inside edge, Veela, with her press priviledges, can't even get info out of these f*cks. Apparently they yelled at her. Some way to treat a customer AND a member of the gaming press.

"Diamond" Keck Frame.
Oh yea! That's a GREAT nicknameI second it!
hmmmmmm now I have a dillemma. Do I stick with "The Neck"
Or go with the very mayoral "Diamond"
You could always combine the two. Keck "Pearl Necklace" Frame for instance...

You're preaching to me? Don't get prissy with me. I've put my time in just as much as the next guy and then some. I'm just sick of seeing the mountains of whines and "b33r and p13" posts pile up while we continue to get shoved down the crapper with no real answer to it.
But then again, I don't know. All the Smugglers that were on my wavelength and mind-set are gone or just don't post in here any more. I can't do anything for this community any more. Maybe it's my time to go to. Sorry for the uproar.
I second what Keck says. I don't blame smugglers for any kind of complacency. This game has just been too f*cked up in sooooo many respects that us getting a revamp any sooner would be insanity.
Before the CU, combat was NEVER stable. One week it was Bh's, then godlike melee stackers, then it was Riflemen, the next CM's, then DoT wh*re pikemen. The whole time there was heavy press on the Jedi profession being trash, then we see Jedi multiply like rabbits. Finally combat is stable, Jedi population is a huge problem, and we finally have some room to fix smuggler.
Sure slicing coulda been soooooooo much better, but I like what we have now. It is not like I'd murder someone to get better slicing. I'd be upset if we get crappy smuggling though. I'd raise some f*cking hell if our smuggling sucks ass.
Player smuggling in its pure form isn't going to happen becausewe don't have a real law/contraband system, which would take a huge publish to put in, and even then we'd hear f*cking cry babies whine about it before it would even go to testing. It would take balls to implement that system, and this management team has no balls. The dev team has balls, but not the management people.
If we get a smuggling system like that proposed by GreenMarine, then I'd be basically happy if it were done well, the NPC BH's were difficult, and they eventually put in PC BH's.
It all comes down to the manpower that the dev team has and what management decides to do with the manpower. Management doesn't seem to be making good decisions because they don't really play/understand the game. I can only hope management puts in a contraband/underworld/smuggling system that is EVEN HALF as corrupt as they are, haha!!! Maybe then we'd have a cool system
Sorry, but some people are deludingthemselves ifthey think that some of us Smugglers aren't as dedicated asthey are, or anyone else when it comes to trying to fight for this profession. But let's face it, it's a whole different ballgame now. This Dev team has been pulling away from communicating with the playerbase for quite a while now. Just look at Tiggs' posts over the last month. She's in charge of community relations, but she hasn't said anything of real substance for quite some time.
Let's just take today. Look at the bug thread Tiggs posted. Look at the Friday Feature TH posted. Who's the first Smuggler in there pushing for us Smuggs? ME. I'm probably one of those Smugglers that most of you write off as a joker, someone who doesn't take anything very seriously. But I PM the Devs on things, and try to get them to actually talk about us in the only way I know how... by hijacking their threads a little. And when I can't do that, I try and lighten the mood in here a bit and help make this forum a fun place to visit rather than let it fill with doom and gloom.
We may not fight the same wayothers used to, but that doesn't mean we're complacent. But it's much harder to fight now than it used to be, becausethe battle is entirely one-sided.
I love this profession. I can't imagine being anything else. I'll fight for it tooth and nail for as long as it takes, or until they finally screw us completely over.
