I only went jedi for the smuggling content it provides.

Best post ever made in this forum...and most accurate:


"The simple fact is the devs probably don't WANT this class in the game. At least not in any truly interactive form. They'd like us to stick around and RP our way through things rather than THEM doing their JOBS and giving us a truly developed profession. Why? Because it's easier and it keeps in line with the Star Wars amusement park they've developed here. "Look kids! There's Han Solo! See? He's 'smuggling' goods past those guards!" "Daddy, he's just pretending." "Shhh, I know, but isn't it fun to watch?"

That, I believe, is the dev vision for us. We're tourist attractions. We're the guys in the cartoon character suit who wander around "in character" while kids get their pictures taken with us and we sweat our sacks off inside the suit wondering if we'll ever get a real job or why we didn't go work somewhere else." - Solo4114

Well for starters there is a problem with the title of the thread, "For the love of all that is holy...", that would be the Jedi. We are the unholy or anti-holy if you will. Besides whatever they have in mind is just a moot point anyway when they will just come out and implement something entirely different at the last minute, i.e. the new slicing system.


You know, they'll post their ideas, get us to give input, changes the concepts around to better work with the players ideas, leave it out there for oh about six months for us to discuss and get excited aboutleading us to believe that it will be coming, actually make various statements along the way refrencing the changes and then........ BAM! they hit us with something completely different that sucks.


I don't know, I'd almost rather just to stay in the dark and not know whats coming. Then at least I won't get my hopes up just to be crushed later.






Amen... it's said but it's so True

Fortunately I'm coming out of the dark in another 19 days.


My self-imposed deadline of July 31 is just about here and after over two years ofSOE's BLATANT lies I'm going to stop paying them...unless by some miracle we see actuall SMUGGLING content that is actually something to be interested in. I'm pretty much counting on leaving though.


Sony...and Lucas Arts...I have to say that I'm not only disappoined but fairly irrate. Sony, I will boycott ALL products by ALL subsidieries of yours permanently for having strung me along for TWO FREAKING YEARS. You have plenty of decent competition so not buying your products is really no skin off my back at all.


You all need to wise up and learn how to treat customers, you get not the SLIGHTEST respect from THIS customer.


Oh, BTW, I periodically get resumes for engineers across my desk. As unlikely as it will be, if I see Sony Online Entertainment on them I'm shredding them with NO consideration.

Ok.


Call me a fool here - but this "just" hit me.


We have a method determining whether a weapon has been sliced or not already right? Of course, the customization level. (IF CustomizationLVL == 0, THEN ITS NOT CONTRABAND!)


And we have a contraband scan already in place... so REALLY... how hard is it to make those scans more frequent, and make them look for a higher than 0% level of customization?


ITS NOT BLOODY DIFFICULT PEOPLE! ITS AN "IF" STATEMENT!



And if you really wanna get crazy, lets add another (careful now)IF statement to check if the target being scanned is a Smuggler, and what level of the underworld branch they have, to determine how likely they are to be caught... or whether or not they have a smuggler-made (or a pass) that gives them Imperial authorization to use such weapons... but now thats just getting complicated.





Ok, I had to get that off my chest.


Oh so frustrating.
