Smuggler was the first profession that stood out for me when the profession list was introduced way back when and I hope that it can live up to everyone's expectations. Because of the movie's everyone has very high one's although I am dissapointed to not see a revamp soon i think this will be for the best to get the smuggler the attention that is needed

Ok, I'm going to make this very to-the-point, at the risk of having it skipped over by the powers that be who happen to be reading.

I think, using this thread at least asan indicator,we REALLY don't mind having this thing delayed...if it's going to be done "right"

There are tons of generally concurrent opinions on how to fix this profession, most of them in line with Caylin's ownproposal. Most of them havebeen pretty much categoricallydismissed by the devs...as least as far as your visionof our revamp (the part's that'vebeen made public to us)goes.

Just read what we've given to you, and run with that as much as is feasible...or don't even bother trying to draw up a revamp at all.

I am slightly worried about one thing. That one thing is that most of the smugglers skills will be part of the SE. This would alienate those smugglers who have no desire to purchase the space expansion. I would rather have all the smuggler skills in SWG still hold true to the ground game, while the SE would give bonuses while in flight. Any other way would just punish people for not shelling out the extra money for something that hmm maybe or may not be another bug fest.

Just make sure you get your priorities right, there are way more smugglers in this game then there are jedi or image designers but both get way more attention then the popular smuggler profession.

I wish I could be as understanding JustG and TH, but something seems wrong when in a Star Wars game there are cute new emotes instead of Smugglers being able to smuggle. I really trust you guys, but I still have this reservation about dedicating resources to something like ID while delaying Smuggler.

The people who play Image Designers pay $15 a month, just like the people who play Smugglers. No profession is more important than any other.

If that is true groovy, then why are the jedi's given the most out of any class here?

Holy Talusian berries, I don't go online for a few days and come back to find not only has our revamp been postponed (Hurrah! thank you for realising you need more time to do a good job *hands out cookies and milk*), but 2 devs have posted on our board! It's a good job I've not got a week heart condision I can tell you.. and for a moment there a teer was forming in my eye..

All I can really do is echo the sentiments of many before me, thanks for postponing, please please please communicate with us and do the best darndest you can (which I'm sure you'll do anyway )

I'd start hugging people, but I'm sure you'd all rather I'd not.. besides, I'm not a wookie and therefor have no real excuse.

LOL! I almost included "except Jedi" in my sentence, but I didn't want to appear cynical.

Seriously though, Jedi is a special case. It's the poster child because it's so high profile AND because they screwed it up so bad to begin with. I suppose you could say it gets more attention than other professions because it (and the path to it) are the most broken!

But Jedi obsessions aside, I still stand by my assertion that no profession* is more important than another. We ALL pay our $15 a month.

*except Jedi ha ha!

Jedi shouldn't even be availible in this game, as the movies state, there are only a hand ful of jedi left...anywhere. Now you get jedi running around everywhere. I don't remember Luke's father having mastered artisan, commando, armor smith, scout and bounty hunter so Luke could be force sensitive.

Sheesh, this game should be about fighting, we're in the middle of a war and everyone had a weapon at their side. But what have we got? A game based on selling, buying, dancing and the combat professions getting nothing.

I've waiting since August for some fixes to smuggler and pistoleer, now I've given up and gone carbineer. I don't think it takes 10 months to fix some professions. What takes time is making content no one cares about and fixing professions that no one uses.

Who cares there is a new cave where you can only kill stuff in there if you're a rifleman? Can't say I do. Go through there once as your broken profession hiding behind those with their working professions and have maybe about 5 seconds of fun as the rifleman giggles and lets you try to tangle with one of the harder mobs.

Fix the professions that people use, screw content, and make the game fun.

Absolutely agree Jorah. Fix the broken professions and the GCW and people will make their own content!

Yeah this is a good idea for the smugglers. The "QUICK FIX" for the Rangers proff never got finnished and that has been MONTHS (10) since thoses things were promised. It is better to have them put off doing anything then getting your hopes up to just have them dashed by the DEVs
