Thread: New Expansion..
How could a community relations representative not know of an upcomming expansion well ahead of time.
Tiggs.. i supported you as a CR rep, but common.. you lied to us plain and simple. Or did you just not know about an expansion in the works?
Not flaming you, just want real info and an explination.

SWG has two major teams working on it. There is the Live team, which fixes bugs, creates new content for publishes, deals with balances issues, etc. And then there is the expansion team, which works on (you guessed it!) expansions. The Live team is currently focused on fixing bugs and nerfing xp gain.

How is this working on bugs so all other content had to wait.

Tiggs somewhat told us... in her usual way of course, but she told us that something is cooking.

Remember Tiggs/TH only say what they are allowed to say. They may or may not even be decent people, but as the mouthpiece for SOE, they get, what SOE earns from us. Currently, that is the finger. In my case its not personally aimed at Tiggs, or TH, but at SOE/LA. If Tiggs and TH lied to us, its because they were told to. Our ire is much better placed on SOE/LA, and can really only be communicated through an exit interview.
What exit interview?
The poll they give you when you cancel is so disinterested, it's almost insulting
And I absolutlely despise mouthpieces more than I despise the people who make the ludicrous decisions they propagate. Tiggs and TH should be rounded on like the traitorous integrity-vacuums they are
Just noticed also that my registered date is wrong.. let my account lapse a couple months to try WoW. Missed my buds and came back.

This morning, the team made a decision to delay the Smuggler profession revamp to Publish 11.
As it stands, we have a heavy amount of resources dedicated to the Combat Balance, the Jedi Revamp, Space, and new content. That leaves us thin on resources for something as massive and as important as the Smuggler Revamp. Because the core of smuggling is mission based, it really is a big project. In order to incorporate elements of smuggling for PvE and PvP elements, it and enhance slicing, large amounts of code have to be done to make this happen.
I know many of you are eagerly awaiting this revamp and I'm sorry it is going to be delayed, but looking at all the different aspects of this situation, this is simply the best choice. By doing this, we will be able to make the Smuggler's experience more of what it should it be and work with you to find out what your ideas are and how we might incorporate them.
Myself and the developers involved in this portion of SWG development will be reading this thread and we will be talking internally about different courses of action, so we are looking forward to hearing your feedback and in helping to organize the smuggler community ideas on what you think smuggling should entail.
Again, I know what this means to you and how important it is, but to do the Smuggler revamp the way it needs to be done, this schedule delay has to happen. http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=smuggler&message.id=84573&highlight=smuggler#M84573

I can say that we can't really give any specifics about our plans, other than we plan to stop promising a smuggler revamp that we never seem to get around to delivering.
It's very unlikely we'd ever do a full profession revamp for smugglers anyway.

*shrug* like garbage man, or piss boy its a job someone has to do until companies realize that we don't like being lied to. I don't necessarily hate them for it although a few of their statements have exposed glaring weaknesses in their company. Like the fact that Tiggs never knew about the XP changes and didn't for over 24 hours after they were implemented. The fact that TH, who wasn't on vacation, didn't man up and release the information either. Or the fact that they are doing stupid bs like that and a freaking jedi expansion despite the fact that the rest of the game is dying from the lack of attention. Don't get me wrong, I am mad at SOE/LA but hating the guys that low on the totem pole personally is a waste of thought.

I guess I have a deeper well of hate to draw from than you...I despise them all, until they show themselves worthy of something other than contempt
Nah I'm just tired. This is usually what I feel before I click the cancel button on a game and uninstall. Tired of the BS.
