was just pondering today about the ideas on the smuggler bounties. with the way jedi is turning out and the lack of ability by bounty hunters to take care of these jedi. what is really gonnna happen to smugglers. i mean we cant go toe 2 toe with a bh and expect even odds on getting away or less a victory (subnote we shouldnt have to be master pistol to counter the soon to be master bh master pistol and what ever else they dream up for a killer template) my concern is that bounty hunters are gonna give up on jedi bounties (since the jedi are literally able to not get hit. see the gcw thread whatever it is about blocking all scatter gun shots) and just camp smugglers all day long to get their kicks and cure their frustrations from not getting a jedi.

i am concerned that it is going to greatly affect the smuggler community in the wrong way. i think we are gonna get genked like there is no tommorrow to the point we are gonna get sick of it and do some other profession.





i am smuggler, fear my cork guns
episode II: i am no longer smuggler i no longer fear the cork guns or the delay on the delay for the revamp.. leave a message after the beep when revamp comes and then i shall return. but then maybe i will show them and do a delay on my return.. ha!!! take that soe (if they have not frustrated me more then i already am)

I agree with you...why Smugglers cant get our own speed/accuracy and a pistol of our own?... like Bh's this issues needs to be addresed to the devs..we always have to relay on other professions...why that?..i dont like Pistoleer ..but im forced to go with becouse Dev Team Lack in Creativity?...we need speed/accuracy of our Own and a Pistol too..simple as that.

you think we would all kill you simply because we "cannot" (as you say) kill Jedis? *laughs* i wanted to hunt smugglers long before we could hunt Jedis.

Well, remember, our goal isn't necessarily to KILL them every time but at least get away. But also, the time these changes go out two things have happened...the combat revamp and DF will get revamped with the rest of the profession.

ok let me rephrase a tiny bit so i dont get in a trap by someone. i am not implying all bounty hunters will ...... but this game is played by the human race. so some (im gonna say 60 percent) are gonna do it. if it does happen then its gonna happen. i have not seen anypost on this topic yet (i guess i can dig deep into archives) and i really dont want this topic to be missed by any chance at all by the smuggler profession representative or the community. if a discussion occurrs from this topic great. im hoping it gets into peoples thought patterns to think about it so it does get represented.


i would really really really hate for the revamp to come and bounties do go live and some developer some where says to himself "oh crap we didnt think about that" and the smuggler community suffers for god who knows how long till a fix comes. right now if bounties on smugglers go live, the majority of smugglers (minus those with the right skill boxes and the billions in eqiupment to back them up) would be simpley dead meat. i mean come on panic shot wont even get us away.


i am glad the bh are getting this new skill point adjustment. they need it and i hope they use it well. but i was master marksman, master pistol master smuggler. i can not dedicate the time some do to create millions of credits to get the latest greatest 3 million credit geo gun and the 4 million credit armor and then the 20 million in skill tapes to be effective. there is a bh guy in our guild who has hybrided his skill boxes to add some pistoleer in (with similar time constraints and game financial problems i do. my geo pistol was 400k his was 300k. i enjoy fighting with him and i can do just fine against his torso shots. its the dang carbine that comes out, puts me on my back and the all great glorious eye shot.


i hope the new things for bh allows them to fight effectively and kill those stinking loot stealing jedi (since i cant even try unless they are doing the dumb nascar left turn only circles around our guild's base and im there overt)


i just hope that we are not forgotten when it comes to effectively surviving a bh bounty. which at this time we are unable.


ya ya ya ya ya i know wait for the stupid combat balance (sorry i have lost a little faith in that phrase)

Come on guys, it will be fun!

The last time I went along with someone who said that, I found myself leaving the place just about the same time theauthorities were arriving... not saying that this situation is the same, but every time I hear this I get goosebumps. It's right up there with 'Trust me'...

But in the proposed system so far, it's not just smugglers. It's anyone who constantly breaks the law.


And a side note, I've dueled many of BH and I still havn't been killed by one.

Well there will still be increased contraband penalties I believe but I think the general idea was that there was no real way to make the system completely and blatantly consentual.
