Well i was just reading the new Gordon Walton post about his response to our responses....i'm a little irritated. He said something along the lines of a Smuggler Revamp...ooo i jumped right to that and saw "sorry combat guys first." are we not partially combat? i'd HOPE they could add us in WITH the combat upgrade....slushed aside again....
well I'm not quitting....1yr and going strong as a smuggler....we shall rise!

All professions with combat abilities are being altered in the CU and as Smugglers have combat abilities, the profession is part of the revamp. What I suspect he means by this is that the combat system, what pretty much the entire game is based around, must be finished first in order for the none combat professions to be revamped.

I dunno about you guys and gals, but I read that response today again as well. I, contrasted to you, really took away a positive message from it.
They said that in January, they will begin detailed work on the smuggler profession. They just wont be able to finish it completely because they are also overhauling the combat system in the game.
We are a hybrid elite profession, which means that it would be a pain in the ass to give us skills that would work while smuggling, even in the non-combat trees, because smuggling is a X + Y = Z equation.
X = combat
Y = slick smuggler skills
Z = smuggling
Adjusting X affects Z, so they will have to adjust Y to get the desired result.
Damn... I'm almost speaking fluent dev.... Chalk that up for my Underworld skills. I just fast talked some dude into selling me an armor attachment for less money than he claimed he had a bidder already buying itfor. Somebody arrest me.

It would be easier to alter the smuggler profession after the new combat system is in place. If a smuggler revamp came first, it would have to be tweaked to adjust it with the combat revamp. Or so I assume.

I always like looking at the positive side of things...I have been around since july 3, 03 and a master smuggler since august 03...I have always said that I would not leave this game until the smuggler revamp. Gotta keep the faith Smuggler Brothers.

What colors do you like to look at SpinningCloud? I am not looking for a "black" or "white" response, even though they might be included.
This is just for fun, and I am up late half-demented.

Right. Just the 17 other times they've worked with us to come up with detailed plans on a revamp. Or is it 18 times? I lost track after the first dozen or so.

Try the crazy dance music from the first Blade film (at the beginning, the bit at the vampire night club where there are masses of them dancing)on repeat. at 4am, while box modelling space ships, for at least2 hours .
.Now that was wierd.
