So where is Green Marine?
Now that JTL has launched and Green Marine stated that Smuggler is a space based profession. Where is he? My bet is that he will either be tied up with JTL bug fixes, for another year or till the next expansion, OR working the Combat Revamp.
Either way he isn't here

Give the poor guy a day or two to rest. You do know the hours they must have been putting in to get JTL out, right?

I bet after a little rest, he is just as anxious to get onto the smuggler revamp as we are.

That's part of the problem, everything in this game is "SOON".
The Combat Balance will be done "SOON".
The Smuggler Revamp will be done "SOON".
The Combat Revamp documents will be out "SOON".
The only thing that isn't handled "SOON" is the monthly fee.

well actually they might use another form of language where "soon" means "within a few years"
seriously, the only way I keep master smug from january, is because I make all my cash out of it, not because it's fun cause it's not, just because I don't want to grind for cash anymore.
but the fabled smuggler revamp, to be honnest, I don't believe in it anymore, we won't get it, end of the line.

Seriously, I don't know if you were in the beta or not, but the developers were working their asses off getting the expansion ready for today's launch. There were developer posts at 10-11pm - Midnight. They were working VERY hard.
I think we can give GreenMarine a couple of weeks or so to get back on track with the Smuggler revamp.
Enjoy Jump to Lightspeed in the meantime! It's a great expansion and a welcome addition to the game.

Yes I was in Beta.
We had houses disappear with everything in them. Quests that didn't work till a couple of days till release. We are still not sure if they do work yet. We still have launchpad problems. In addition, before JTL we were told no SWG live Dev's were pulled for JTL.
Now that the"fluff", yes "FLUFF", is out --the time has come for the REAL game to start working. As you know most players will be able to grind their way through the pilot ranks in a couple of weeks. While the MAIN GAME will be needed to make money just to buy the ships and repairs. The main has been neglected for too long now and a half way complete expansion is NO excuse for what has happened to the core game.
If the expansion, opened new planets or augmented the current professions somehow, it would have been a great expansion. Right now, it is a fair expansion and the overall votes that were done proved that. That said there still is no reason that Green Marine isn't back on the job, where he was yanked from in the first place and by letting SOE have an inch here, they will take a mile. Remember, THEY were the ones who stated that Smuggler was viewed as a space bassed profession AND then didn't add ANY Smuggler related content (no modifications to equipment and a non-smuggler needed Smuggler Alliance). We need to know where we stand and the sooner the better. You are more then welcome to spend the next 6-months waiting for someone to come and say something about the Revamp. I AM NOT!!!!

Gee it seems that he had some info ready to go back then for discussion. Why not follow it up now? Why not, unless he thinks that he won't be back soon enough to deal with the issues that will come up?

Wow, it looks like things are a lot more cooled down than last weekTomorrow let's start a conversation on the underworld skill tree. I think based on the conversations we've had in these first two giant threads, I can come up with a compromise system. But let's worry about hammering out more specific details later (we have a lot of time).
