look for yourself. blech.

know how we always said they better not include the Smuggler Revamp in an expansion? well, on that note, if CH's want to be able to tame 80's, they have to buy the expansion. what crap.

schematics are one of the few things left non-tradeable. too bad crafters, you HAVE to buy the expansion to craft the new items.

oh yes, lovely. what a wonderful piece of crap.

Click you punk!

That chat has to be the lamest to date. I wonder how many people showed up. I'm suspectingmost people were trying to get other questions answered since the mod kept posting what the topic was.

I'd love to see the day where they'd grow some balls and have a legitimate chat on something people really want to discuss.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

HA! I noticed I was almost there last night, but I totally forgot when I logged on this morning.

One Correction. Certain schematics are untradable but not all. 80% of the rewards are now tradeble including many of the schematics.

i stand corrected. but it still doesn't sit well with me to have anything come from the expansion that can't be traded or sold. it should be up to the discretion of the players. you have restricted access already with the inability to get to the planet. a complete blockage should not be necessary.

There were actually a pretty good number there, but either most weren't asking questions or they all asked the same ones.

Personally, I asked:

Since the NDA lift, we've heard very little about content for lower CL players (crafters, etc.). What's in it for us?

The Chu-Gon Dar cube may be obtainable by CL1 characters, but how much of the other loot is?

Are all these new schematics one use, several, or unlimited (i.e. are we just going to be 'told' by other players to make them)?

Why give only one character per account extra mount spots?

The low CL question was vagely answered, and everything else had a negative slant, so no surprise they weren't answered.

I thought it was rather amusing that he made a point of saying that the chu cube was obtainable at CL1.
Apparently, there are over 300 items that can be made from various loots with the cube.
Great, so we can get a cube (and it's a non-tradeable item) yet we can't get any of the loots to go into it.
Gee, what fun that is.

I'm not so much a crafter anymore, but I have a SW/Pilot/bit o' marksman, that I've been playing a lot more since Smuggler is not looking especially rosy (the respec to SW and skipping the grind was sweet too)

I can't believe how poorly they are wording their statements to make it sound like there is going to be lots to do for those lower CL players.

The whole concept seems broken, you get loots and convert them to schems (which can't be traded), but if you have the skills to craft the schems, then you didn't have the CL to get the loots to start with.

They must have figured out that the system would never work when none of the loots could be traded.
I kinda wish they wouldn't have and had it released to live that way.
Maybe they would figure out how poorly thought out some of this crap is.

Anyone want to bet whether there will be anything that requires a Smuggler to craft?

Bug fixes. Heh! Smuggling. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things.

My SWG Observations

If they stopped the expansions for one year and gave quality revamps to the professions that need it most, many people would resubscribe.
With all the resubs, and the new players, there would then be plenty of money to hire enough people to do 2-4 quality revamps per year plus 1-2 larger expansions per year and/or 2-4 smaller expansions per year, and not give the BigWigs a pay cut. (Possibly even an increase)
