Well some of you know that the smuggler revamp has been delayed. A lot of smuggler's voiced their displeasure with the lack of communication on their revamp, evening planning a protest on some servers.
Looks like the devs are listening, although smugglers won't be in till publish 11 (late august).
As a smuggler and a squad leader I say its a good thing and a bad thing. For one, smugglers will get full attention to them, and what I hope is for a nice smuggling system in place where you might end up on a BH mission terminal if you screw up too much.
Bad thing is what plans are for Squad Leaders? We are in need of pretty much the same attention, although not a smuggling system. Smuggler was delayed because Jedi was taking all the glory over publish 9 but look at us. Not only are we in the same patch as the much hyped Jedi Quest Revamp, we also have to deal with the combat balance too.
I'm not jumping the gun on anything but from what I see, unless they start focusing some stuff on squad leader's right now, we'll probably end up with a similar situation that the smugglers got, lack of attention.
I'll be positive on the matter though, we are getting a new correspondant anytime soon, we should start seeing dev ideas on Squad Leaders within the next 3-4 weeks. I must say though when they do start showing us some ideas, if it isn't a revamp and just a few fixes and what not, we have to fight like the smugglers to have it delayed as well, probably with publish 11.
Time will tell, i'm sure everything will be fine though, since it shows that the devs are starting to care more about their customers. We are a very important profession, one that is yet to be realized, one that should be realized when the combat balance is in place.

Oh man... I'm sorry - I didn't even hear about the delay! I would be out raged. I've never been a smuggler but I know it has been egnore just a much as Squad Leader. I have been very aniouxily waiting for SL revamp. I love the idea of SL and I have been with it from the beginning even with all its flaws. To hear that I would have to wait another month would just ENRAGE me. You going from Patch 9 to 11 is two months in time... I would be even more enraged.
I admire you for your calm head. I personally think that Smuggler needs to come BEFORE Squad Leader because the Squad Leader needs to be made to compliment ALL other Professions so in my mind ... all the other professions should be completed first as well as Combat Balance since we do make an effect on that. SO... even though it will make me very displased ... I feel if the delay on smuggler does hold up ... then I feel a delay on Squad Leader is also needed. GAH - I can't believe I'm saying this.
I hope DEVs make it all Worth it!!!

It kinda sucked how smuggler was delayed seeing as I dropped master squad leader and grinded my butt off to unarmed 4 to get smuggler. Went up the dirty fighting line and was waiting for the new smuggling missions to go up underworld. But I have high hopes that smuggling will be more robust come August, as well as rumoured zone controlled areas for the GCW.
We need to get our correspondant talking to the devs to see if squad leader will be a valued revamp in publish 10. Last thing I think any of us want is to have waited an entire year of the game being released only to find out that it wasn't worth the wait. I just want the devs to start communicating in this forum when the time is write, they didn't even touch the smuggler forum until basically knowing they pissed off the whole community by their pathetic pub 9 revamp.

we'll definately have to watch for something along these lines.
They MAY have postponed smugglers because they arent a primary "combat" concern and they wish to spend the extra tiem focusing on the combat revamp to get that done in a timely fashion. The devs took a lot ...and i mean a LOT.... of heat by pushing Jedi up front ahead of a lot of other areas...so they may have stalled smuggler to get other things done that they needed to.
In any case we'll have to keep an eye out and make sure SL's dont get the jiff as well.

Haven't been on SWG or forums for a long time, at least I found some thread. So we are not still delayed right? SL revamp is for Publish 10 still? yes?
I'm just hoping things will turn out good. I may not like all the attention the jedi get before the professions that were there at the beginning of the game and not a few months after live. But I generally hate jedi anyway
We aren't delayed right? Not even any ideas from the devs? I'm about to go back to MSL and keep it for the revamp, just want to see some ideas soon. Kinda funny they've released skill trees for the new professions but they are still working on the ones they are revamping *grin*
