I thought it was self-explanatory there. =)

The only thing that has me scratching my head is the reason behind the statment. As it is I haven't seen anything I would be really happy about.

Well the content wasn't so much a mystery but the reason for the post still has me a bit baffled... no, completely stumpted I must say.

Well, if I had to rate our CU changes so far, they'd look something like this:

Combat specials and skill mods:

!!

Spice:

Weapon and armor certs:

Slicing: Uhhh.. I don't know how to make this one. Anyone know the code for the kind of face that looks like it was just asked the average yearly rainfall of the Amazon basin before being shot in the eye?

Well it's probably not that bad, but right now it's looking a mite bit borked.

By and large, however, I'm a big fan of the changes we've got coming. I certainly never expected improvements of this scale.

I"m a bit confused over the master weapon certs between smuggler and pistoleer. The weapons really are no different...excepting minor variations in the wound %. Kind of a let down that we have a bunch of pistols but no real differences between them other than graphical.

I'm not all that impressed with the spices either I'm afraid. They just aren't that creativly done.

Maybe the biggest issue for me is the dumbing down of the HAM. We went from a relatively 'rich' 9 HAM types to 3...and lost the ability to migrate between them. That, IMO, is a huge loss of diversity.

All in all it seems like the entire game is getting dumbed down to remove any 'down' time and make it just a huge shooting match. Seems like they're, chunk by chunk, taking the RP aspects out of the MMORPG. Take a lookat the CU effects to the Entertainer professions...they've pretty much destroyed them.

May overall look ok for Smugglers but I think this is going to be about as good for SWG overall as the infamous holo-grind was.

Well, the reason behind the post I can not decipher unfortunately

I have been scanning the forums and I get a sense that the system is becoming dumbed down, good thing/ bad thing, that remains to be seen. I'm biting my tongue at this moment because I have not tested the CU for myself yet; I do know that the template that I had my eyes on, MBH+MS is a no-go. I'm going to need something with a punch..im going to have to supplement my Smuggler with Commmando...

In theory it should be a good mix, haha, but in theory so would the combo of MBH and MS.

Why is MBH/MS a no go? I don't get that.

I am amazed though that some of ya'll can't see the good stuff in the CU.

I mean- WE HAVE MODS!

WE HAVE OUR OWN GUN(s)! I remember when that was just an item on a list of pipe dreams like having a sidekick and spices that are on par with every other buff and (of course) smuggling.

Now, we don't have a sidekick but we DID get some guns (even if they are equal to all the other best guns in the game- these are OURS.

And spices ARE equal to other buffs (of course other buffs have been nerfed to hell- but at least we are EQUAL and not in the situation where we couldn't GIVE SPICE AWAY).

AND we got a promise to smuggle...

*ducks as slicing tools, broken DL 44s, and precision knives are hurled at him*

What I'm saying is...can't we take a lil' delight in the things that we ARE being given. It's like we feel guilty for feeling good about something.

What are we? Catholic?

Uh, Oh. I feel a ban coming on...

Just to let everyone know- my entire family IS Catholic

I Think the real question is, If we stop being bitter and angry do we then stop being a Smuggler?

V E E L A "her royal hawtness"
I am Jack's Smirking Revenge. I am Jack's Ignored Profession.
Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...

That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.

well i have been testing these 2 templates, they are both good in my opnion.

1. MBH/MS and 0-0-0-4 (or what ever the beam line of commando is)

like this because advanced critical shot has a pretty good damage multiplier, plus all the other specials. You also get a bunch of general ranged accuarcy and speed mod's alowing you to use almost any weapon you cert for effectivly. having the lightning beam cannon to back up the LLC is also cool.

2. MCommando/MS and 4-0-0-0 BH or 0-0-0-4 BH

This is cool because you get to use all the real high damage stuff like Proton Rifle and Plasma Flamethrower (god i just love saying that name PLASMA FLAMETHROWER). Only thing I'm torn on is wheather or not to get the investigation line for bounty missions or the LLC line to get eye shot and torso shot specials (because lets be honest the smuggler specials suck).
