So ConcussionShot is changing to a rooting pre-CU PanicShot ,while PanicShot remains a LowBlow-lite delay shot and LowBlow is half what it should be...what a load of pap

Wes, press for the rooting mez shot to be PanicShot, for LowBlow to be a KD and snare and make ConcussionShot the attack delay. Thatmakes much more sense to me, and improves usin CC without making us invincible.

This would be a good idea. Move around what the specials do or change the names and make each special a part of "controlling a crowd"

Veela I could send you a carboard cutout of me if that'd help?

Concussion shot "fix/nerf": Good thing - it will finaly get rid of all the template freaks that have picked up smuggler just for one special. Plus if it becomes a true mez and literaly prevents your opponent from doing ANYTHING for 40 secs until they recieve damage..i kinda like that. Maybe I should finaly purchase myself some stims

Revamp over publishes: Not surprised. Another promise shattered no doubt

This really sounds to me like they've spent 2 years building smuggler up with promises and want-to-do's but when it ultimately comes down to it they have no idea what to do with the profression. This is the one problem I have seen with this development team since day 1 - it lacks "vision". They don't seem to collectively have any kind of imagination or at the very least have no idea how to implement what they imagine... which isn't a very good situation to be in when you're trying to develop a Star Wars MMO.

Veela, could ya please convince the devs to sit down and play the KOTOR games ... there is tons of smuggler-ish content in both those games that could have been put into SWG

[EDIT]

OH OH OH!!! V, Fish, anyone.. bug them about gun holsters!!!

The really sad thing is, if you check Caylin's threads from 03/04, my own ideas, everyone else's on approximately a monthly basis, we provided all the content idea they could ever need....

OK.

Time for my two cents (now that I'm at work and can read the posts from the weekend).

I always felt that Concussion shot was vastly overpowered. Don't get me wrong, its the only ability we have ATM to consider ourselves successful 'crowd controllers", but it DOES need to be fixed. Turning it into a Mez will make more people cry than it is now, ESPECIALLY if its a total mez, preventing them from doing anything.

But my philosophy has always been simple: screw 'em.

Each profession is SUPPOSED to have its strengths and weaknesses (including you too, Jedi), and although I see this as a step in the right direction, I also see it a potential pain in the arse. They will need to increase the effectiveness of some of the other specials in order to compliment this fix. We definately need a ranged knockdown in our arsenal. It's nice that a lot of you strictly combat people already have one, but that puts a smuggler-only char at a severe disadvantage.

I (for one) have been looking to get into the GCW a little more actively (other than meerly making factional armor) and I have found that I am extremely valuable against some types of NPCs - a mez will make me MUCH more valuable, to a degree, and much weaker at the same time.

Give and take I suppose... but all in all, please dont fix any special unless they are all fixed at once.

But thats my 2 cents.
