Should we really be investing so much time in studying the current slicing on the CU server? The smuggler revamp is coming up and the slicing system is going to be pretty different than what it is now so I'm not sure we should even worry about the CU slicing. It may be this new system for a little while but I don't think I'm going to worry about it that much since it will most likely go away with the revamp.

Well... maybe the revamp is "coming up" about like it was with the pre-publish 9 revamp?


If that is the case then I think we should be concerned.


Given SOEs track record with our revamp what do you think?

If we're not actually LIVE with our revamp by Aug 1 I'm completely gone from SWG and I'll never look back.


That is PLENTY enough time for them to complete something they've had two years of design docs on.


And you're right, if we don't see something by Aug 1...even In Design then we won't be seeing it this year.

I've been here as long as anyone else so yea I know about how long we've been waiting. I just feel that it is actually going to be soon after the expansion. If I didn't have hope, I would have left the smuggler profession a long time ago.

I think if the Smuggling Revamp (don't really care about the Slicing one) is still stuck where it is now come June, I'll drop the profession that defines me.


The funny thing about Smuggler is that we have nothing except what we possess in ourselves- pride in the job we do for the community, hope in what we might be, belief that we're iconic, faith that the change will come, loyalty to the smiths and guilds we work with and so on, but all I've described only exist within the Smuggler - we actually have had nogame content given to us, no essential purpose, other than slicing locked containers, and choosing whether tosteal the broken binoculars. Oh, and mustn't forget the ace minigame that is the Tusk Cat run...err..

But, anyway, back to the moan...


It's all internal, the profession is only what the professionals take with them every time they load up. We have nothing, except a couple of concepts. Afew vague ideas of what could be.And I think I'm finally done with it, as even though I'm not a big fan of the concept of slicing, if the slicing figures are being massaged down, we becomeeven less valuable to our communities, and without the comforting knowledge that at least smiths and guilds need and value their smugglers, I think I feel free to walk away, duty done.

I doubt you'll find many Smuglgers here holding their breath for the Revamp
