...you peeps got shafted royaly. All the time you waited and Rangers get love before you. I'm sorry but that is the kind of attention I felt the smugglers should get. Not a bajillion little updates but an exclusive, well thought out, complete profession revamp. Oh well. I guess your used to it. Ohh and I cant wait to see you on the terms.

I have no problem with Rangers and Squad Leaders getting revamps before Smuggler. Both have been broken for as long as smuggler has, and both professions have further suffered from the lack of the coolness factor that has been all we've been falling back on for years. Creature handlers... eh. They were first, for some reason, but have only had problems since the CH nerf a couple months after launch.
If we finally do get smuggling missions with player bounty hunters and swatting player rangers... great. 
Especially if the missions involve being hunted in space. I would love for a bounty hunter to come after me in space.

The current blurb on the 'In Concept' page is nothing more of a summary of one of the threads on the Concept board from a few months ago. Still in concept after all this time? Huzzah.

Agreed. Unlike the pajama whiners, most of us can see beyond our profession for the good of the rest of the game. Like Rhu said, ranger/sl have been borked for as long as we have. Now if a certain profession that cries for nerfs to revamps/skills that aren't even out of testing or development yet get any of the garbage they're whining about before us, THEN I'll be pissed.

Yeah good for Rangers and Squad Leaders, they deserved some attention. Hopefully we're near the top of the "Things to do" list now.

Can I QFE an entire thread?
Squad Leaders, Creature Handlers, Bounty Hunters and Rangers are welcome here at any time. Glad to see some other professions gettin' some lovin'.
There's hope on the horizon for smugglers, we've just got to make sure our own lovin' is some mighty fine Good Lovin'!
Now we just need to befriend some Chefs so they can make us beer and pie...

Way to fan the flames.
In all seriousness, if you've read the in-development documents on rangers and also read the dev tracker on the subject, you would see that maybe rangers had to come before smugglers because the rangers may play a part within the smuggler's missions at a later time. As the devs were working on the smuggling system, maybe they saw ways to integrate rangers in a way, but in order to make it all work they had to redo the rangers.I can't answer for thealoof squad leaders.

While I wish we got our revamp first, I don't really mind much that Rangers are getting it before us. I only want to know that we will, at some point, get a decent, well-thought-out, revamp that has a lot of fun content for us Smugglers. But, sadly, there's no word on something like that ever coming and it probably never will.

At this point it looks like the Devs are putting smugglers last out of sheer spite.
Sure, being turned into WoW templates is great for the SL and the CH, and having your entire profession ripped away and replaced with ninja is great for the Ranger. I'm 'happy' for them getting the attention they needed.
But I'm much happier that SOE has convinced me to never play one of their games again, because that way when the other brainless cows meekly walk to the slaughter and accept the dumbed down, neutered 'smuggler' delivery missions that will be handed out like some sort of saving grace, I'll be free of the addiction induced delirium and be able to see the game still being not even a sorry shadow of the hopeful dream it once was. Or when even that is yanked away and replaced with only more spins and lies from the uncareing money hungry monster that is SOE, I will not have any more hopes to destroy, because I wouldn't have been foolish enough to believe the promises that they again gave only to break.
However, on behalf of the broken souled sheep that are mostly all that remain, I thank you for your pity.
Get out while you still can.Message Edited by from_beyond on 09-20-2005 12:39 PM
You do realise that some of us still have fun in game despite the lack of smuggling right? But thanks for calling us sheep, /sigh.

I think she means the people that are still totally blind to the fact that we've been in this position numerous times before, only to have been slapped in the face and /bookshelfed.
This equals not you. You're the Godfather, don't you know broad generalizations don't apply to you?

See? She said "mostly."
