I haven't been a smuggler for too long yet but in some posts I've read from DEVs and players alike some have stated that they won't make changes to our prof until they can re-do the entire thing.

But, I mean c'mon, would it really be that hard to drop us a frickin' bone? Maybe at least ONE until that "revamp" happens? I for one don't see how adding some code to allow the slicer to chose what type of slice they can give would be so hard???!!! Such a small change but would probably make us happy or tie us over until that..."revamp" happens.

/sigh just my 2cents

more generally speaking, the bones have been asked since... when theoldest i remember is around january i think, the first time our revamp was pushed for some random (read jedi) reason. WE have been asking for some more almost everyday since, and we got the ... jawa trade mini-game. If they consider this a bone, i prefer they keep them or offer them to a random (read jedi) profession. Actually we have been asking for what seemed far more important than bones while waiting for the revamp, we have been asking for fixes and for dialog, we got nerfs and ignorance, we got our skilled spoiled by random (read...) professions and it may lead to another nerf. We got promises and we were lied to, we got fixes that were breaking the feature instead of improving it, we got exacly the opposite of what got random (read...) professions got. Considering how those random (read you know what) professions are now fixed and working as intended, and taking the hypothesis that random (read...) players won't whine for something they feel spoiled with (for instance the inability to feign death while wielding a fluo tube), we may get some ral fresh meat soon, first with the combat upbalavamp thing that will have direct impact on 3 out of our 4 branches, and then we can get the last one (but the most important) worked out to allow smugglers to actually smuggle.


If they were to throw a bone to us, it wouldn't be useful, fun, or even working. So no, i'd rather they fix something, communicate on a few particular points, than they throw us a bone and use this as an excuse to push the revamp away again.


On a side note, they can't touch anything in the slice, they don't know the name of the trainee that coded this part last year and the guy has kept no track of his code.

I really don't think the combat upgrade is coming ANYTIME soon and even when/if it happens it will be broke like everything else. Most in this game are waiting for this and it makes me laugh. Just like JTL they will be fixing a broken NEWER and BETTER system for 6 months lol

I'm new to the forums (long time reader) and have also taken note of the SOE employees (will remian nameless) who start a thread then fade into black. Communication their business not their strong point? I think so. Boy it would be nice to hear from them but I won't hold my breathe.

Your jackets in the mail, but until the U.S.P.S. upgrades to Publish 14 you wont be getting them anytime soon.


And if you were refering to Jawa-poke-uhgi-master-battle-extreme-ball-smackdown-rockem-sockem-tusken-vader-GT send me a tell, I'm always looking for a game

Do yall remember way way way back when the smugglers got together and did the 40+ page post on the general forums begging the dev's to fix us. Not only did we ask for fixing we offered assistance. They heard our cries at the time and thus the announcement of the dev being assigned to help us.


I have been waiting since that time. I even quit playing for a bit because I was tired of paying to wait.


BTW where the hell are all the old folks from day 1 (if you got in that day.) and day 2 (if you didn't get in that day.) Does anyone happen to have a copy of the original smuggler registry?
