POINT: "You will not have to buy JTL to get the smuggler revamp content."


COUNTERPOINT: "The smuggler revamp is not a part of space, but something to follow after space. There will be space features involved in smuggler mission content, but it will only be offered to players that own JTL."

Both of those phrases were written by GreenMarine, and both in factcome from the same post.


I am just curious how these two seemingly different ideas can be reconciled. Does the Smuggler Revamp affect Space or not? If not, is Privateer content meant to be Space-based "smuggling" content? If so, are you only getting 50% of the Smuggler Revamp if you don't own the Space Expansion?

Only until SOE figures out how to turn off my posting abilities. I haven't paid them a dime since April.


I know of a few other people who are riding the same wave.

if only there was only GM ignoring us... that's just any single SOE employee, maybe this forum is hidden by the webpeople on SOE side? Garva might have put some filter in place where you have to ask for 10 permissions to get a chance to post here if your name is red.


That would explain why we do have a post once in a while, just to say we have a new correspondant they won't be listening to, and that's all.

This can be taken as meaning that while you won't need JtLS to benefit from the possible(however unlikely) Smuggler Revamp, you won't be able to get the full benefit.

It simply says that you will be able to smuggle in space AND on the ground, but that you can only do space-related smuggling with JTL. See, the Kessel-Run would be a loooooooooooong walk without a ship...


Edit:


Arrr... *cough* forgot it again...

I think it basically means that they will creat the Smuggler Revamp for the ground game, and then add additional content for the space game, but won't call it part of the official Smuggler Revamp. Or maybe they will and you'll have yet another reason to be glad you're no longer a paying sucker -- er -- customer.

Come on GreenMarine, defend yourself(give us a heads up on whats happening with the smuggler revamp). I feel GM will do a great job for us, I just hate being left in the dark.

All us smugglers can do is hope for the best. Some day we may get a smuggler revamp but with all the waiting it will live up to nobodies hype and we will be back to complaining soon enough. Ill be happy when we are able to smuggle but Im semi happy at the moment so I guess I am just easy to please.

Personally I think GM has shoveled us enough manure to discount pretty much anything he has said or will say.


I'm going to lean on my 'heritage' as far as anything for smugglers...I'm from Missouri, show me.
