Smuggler Archive

I like smuggler and will probably keep master smuggler for a while longer, but is anyone else finding it less fun to slice things now? Seems the percentage of slices are no longer random as they're pretty much always the same as it's annoying having to go out there and find the loot items which costs 1m-3m to buy if you can't hunt Krayts or such. On the other hand, the slicing changes has an effect on the economy, the value of weapons now are skyrocketting on the servers I play, and there are some amazing stats such as a 470~ base DPS Proton carbine that's running for about 10 mil cr at the moment if I remember correctly.

I like the crowd control aspect of smuggler, some amazing pistol abilities that goes well with either pistoleer or bounty hunter or even commando for multi-target state effect.

I'm not saying the new slicing changes are bad, just that I'm not having much fun with it anymore and don't really see a reason to even have master smuggler other than perhaps 4x4x. I ground out from 3001 smuggler when the CU first came out to master WITHOUT using the respec, it was ALOT of grinding and I managed to get the master box when the 2x xp came first time around, Commando is another profession I got disapointed with (and dropped, spent millions of cr on speed/acc SEAs).

Just my 2cent, happy smuggling.

Here is the current state of the Smuggler:

• We have a new Slicing system that apparently the majority of people aren't too crazy about.


• Loot component drop rates are way out of whack.


• We still can't Smuggle a damn thing after 2 years.


• Concussion Shot and Last Ditch kick butt.

I think that about sums it up.

Not to mention, with the CU Factional armor, most smuggler business has been driven up with Faction Sales.

Factions suck.

With the exception of content, smuggler missions if you like, and the fact that the new slicing systems needs a rething, hopefully to coincide with the said smuggler missions, I am really positive about our profession.

So... aside from the fact that we're 75% borked... it's fan-farking-tastic!

Factions still suck.

You can be part of a faction, nobody said you had to like it though... I am a rebel, and sometimes I wonder why I get myself involved in political struggles.

I swear, as soon as a underground faction is placed in this game, I am so there.

LOL... just a question, I haven't bothered picking up or transferring a bio-linkable item since before pub 19, have they been fixed so that armorsmiths can once again sell faction armor and whoever loots weapons off Kash can sell or trade them now?

You know what else sucks...?

Joking, I hate biolink stuff. And I hate the Rebellion, and I hate the Empire, and I hate Jabba, and I hate Valarian... but I love Corellia. God Bless Corellia.

Neutrality rocks. Now i understand the Swiss so much better! Still dont really know why smugglers in particular can gain you more faction. Unless we're smuggling stolen insignia and rank sashes etc. I like the slicing system but dislike the loot factor and that non-stackability.
