I think it's sort of on ice untill the CU launches

I kind of view the CU as Smuggler Revamp: Part 1, to some extent. There's a LOT more they need to do for us, but at least now, we've got specials more in line with what we feel they should be. We now have both melee and ranged specials to reflect our pre-reqs, and our skills are based around getting out of a sticky situation by whatever means necessary(which being the masters of crowd control at least in theory certainly pertains to). It's enough that I'm finally actually wandering my main back towards Smuggler again. I'd needed a break after 1.5+ years as a master... and TKM ground the resource cost for MSW real nice, as it turned out. Back to the dream of MSW/MSmugg/Ace pilot. Whoohoo! Only 2 years late, but I get to be what I always wanted.

guys, the doc's were posted early cause we were all way, way, WAY pissed about the lack of info and nerf's (a certan someone pressed SOE for info on us, ty Veela). They always said the revamp was after CU, think of these doc's as a sneak peek.

First it was pre-publish 11, then post publish 11, then after GCW update, then after JTL, then before CU, then with CU and now it's after CU

It's like reading the national inquirer, what the hell is the truth?

You want the truth?

You can't handle the truth.(clicky)

For all you thinking this revamp will come anytime soon its not going to. Its been over a year now where they have been telling us that we are getting a revamp, and we are in the same place with the same ideas just a bit tweaked so we dont say "thats what you told us before". I have dropped and re-mastered smuggler 5 times since they started telling us about the revamp over a year ago, but each time nothing comes of it. We are all cats and they have the catnip where we cant reach it.

This attitude was cool about 6 months ago, we have moved on but thanks for stopping in.....

Hehe. I don't recall ever favoring that attitude anyway. Yeah, I'm a bit resigned about it, but it gives me *something* to lord over other professions, in a twisted sort of way. And soem of the patience has paid off. I mean, we got a nice new CURB role, that even fits the concept of a smuggler: Shoot them in the knee so you can run and they don't catch you. Suddenly this whole dirty fighting things makes a little sense. And OMG! Melee mods! And in theory now we can equip a VK to use 'em, even. (though I still think letting our class-specific pistol double as an unarmed weapon to beat people with would be kind cool...)

New CU also will require new slicing and it needs to be in game not too long after this goes live. Have we been put off and lied to for 2yrs now...sure. But based on CU and the Doc's posted for our revamp I will guess June/July...

I'm just not guessing anymore. If it comes, it comes. When it comes, it comes. I've had fun being a smuggler, RP or otherwise, for 2 years and I'll be damned if I'm stopping now just because some guy in Austin tells me some changes have to wait another month, or two, or three. At this point, it's almost like "what can they POSSIBLY do to me that's worst than what they have already?" Way I see it, it only gets better at this point, even if the revamp ends up totally trashed.

Which isn't to say i won't keep asking for it or talking about how they should do it. I'm just not going to break down and cry in my cherios when they say "Um, we can't do that yet." or "Um, the system just won't support what you want it to do, right now." Never stopped me before, it's not going to now.
