Thread: So, what was plan C?
Really, I don't think the Devs are trying to help Smugglers at all. Of course... I don't think they ever where trying to help.
Wow...this is a new thought.Hadn't seen this in 27 freakin' other posts.
Thanks for your contribution.
Good-bye, Mr. Anderson.

Making us loot components is stupid. Our slices shouldn't depend on how good of components we loot, but our slicing skill itself.

The thing i loved about the proposed mini-game system was it went beyond a master box it included skill and made a smuggler more than what skills he had but his knowledge of how to slice something.
Now what we are getting is a system which favours loot campers who are around to screw up the economy as they outdamage anyone in the vacinity and sell these loot drops at ridiculous prices, i dont care what anyone says this is the reality of how the game works right now and once these components get onto the loot tables smugglers are going to start struggling.
I really dont think people want substandard slices again from my understanding of almost every player in this game is they will wait till they can find the perfect parts for that perfect slice which will be beyond many smugglers capabilities to do since the loot drops worth getting will we above the smugglers skill to get.
These components need to be something a smuggler needs to get through doing smuggling missions or at least make the jawa "game" make it possible for smugglers to do things for them to receive these components, smugglers need the ability to get these parts or the system will collapse as powergamers take over the slicing system.
For me plan c is the cancel subscription button, smuggler was my first mastery and after unlocking jedi i returned to it because i loved the idea of it now I see what is happening to it I really dont want any part of it.Also concussion shot and panicchanging and many pvp'ers picking it up to be UBER i see that being nerf'ed in the immediate future and the constant cries of LD being too powerful is a joke.
The loyal smugglers get some luv'in then people either want to take it from us or make it something they can use to get stuff out of us, but this wouldnt be a problem if the devs didnt subscribe to this type of playstyle i guess powergaming and lootwhoring are what tey want to encourage rather than an immersive system.
What i was looking forward to doing was to go into space in my trusty YT and spend sometime involved slicing and having some fun in a system which made me use skill and think i never wanted guaranteed results i just wanted to have a skill based system even if i failed a few times at least it would feel like ive been working on something, i wanted a system which allowed me to play a solo character living off my wits.
Im sure i could rant on for a while though to be honest the amoung of ideas and suggestions which this board has had on it for a long time now have obviously been ignored and i feel dispirited about our slicing and i have no confidence in our smuggler missions.
