With what's been happening with the last few publishes, it looks like SOE are being true to their word and dealing with the profs that need the attention. We've had CHs, now it's SLs. Next we should be seeing Rangers and Commandos as these are the other two mentioned by the devs as their priorities.
Now what about Smuggler? Well, my theory is we will definetly be at the end of this list, but it's something to get more excited about than angry (for me at least).
Looking at the rate at which these things are happening, it wouldn't be whollly inaccurate to assume that Commandos and Rangers will have their fixes BEFORE the xmas period, meaning Smuggler would be due it's fixes during december/january time.
The other reason I think we are being left till last, is if you look at the profs that need the attention, we are the ONLY prof that could be due some space-content, and that means there is alot more work for the devs to be involved in.
I don't think it's RIGHT we have had to wait this long for change, but I do think we are seeing a light at the end of this tunnel.

Suppossedly, the devs are now working on getting commando AoE damage to work properly. Yea... AoE damage is an intended part of some of their weapons. Who woulda thunk?

Heh as Master Commando/Master Smuggler... I hope i see an AOE fix. Doing 51 to 201 Splash dmg on my AE sucks. I mean if I do a 1000 dmg on something his buddies are supposed to get 400 dmg plus elemental. So it figures to 1200 and 600 splash, or there abouts. Still wondering why the AE profession is designed like that since Pistoleer if I fire at a group the target takes 900 and his buddies take 900. Why did commandos get a reduction in our splash dmg AS WELL as a reduction in overall dmg.

I may want smuggler cntent badly, but seeing Squadleaders get fixed instead doesn't bother me in the least. If rangers and commondos are next, I'd be thrilled for them. Still wanting stuff for MY profession, but thrilled for my fellow gimps just as much.

They've spent tons and tons of time on Jedi and BH. I can only hope they focus their main attention on the rest of the profs in the near future. Frankly, I fear they will throw one of the profs a bone...go back to Jedi/BH for awhile...throw another prof a bone...then go back to Jedi/BH...and so on. That's their track record so far. I only hope it doesn't continue.

I'd be really happy to see the other gimped professions get attention, like CH's and SL's have now received. However, from a design point of view, I don't understand why Smugglers have not received any fixes. It really is as simple as this: SLs can lead squads, Commandos can use heavy weaponry, CHs can handle creatures, and Rangers can look for things in the wild and make cool camps. Smugglers, however, cannot smuggle. If we're never going to be able to smuggle, then they should change the bloody name, because it's misleading. Just call it criminal or something. At least it would hold true to the current skill set.

It's nice to see someone doing their job for a change. I'm actually impressed about the way things have been going since the little xp deal. We might have a playable game in about 6 months.

Can I have your optimism?
