Thanks Eoro! I've seen it, but haven't responded yet. It's that "pick one topic" thing that has me! lol

I'll have to make multiple posts. *gasp*

[eoro]

lol just don't make reserve posts lol

[Mobus]

Yeah, that's a no-no! /gulp

[Mobus]

Reserved.

This is a prime example of how NOT to post. Further posts of this likeness will result in a three year ban. Mobus, you have been pwned. Everyone else, you have been warned.

Yeah. This guy is very vague about most things. It's irritating. Not to mention he fails to make any sense at all some of the time.

Examples of his nonsense:
"Some of your abilities will attempt to keep you out of trouble with the law, but also have PvE/PvP buff components to them too... (ie: few abilities that are not useless in all situations)" What he says in parenthesis means that most of a smuggler's abilities are useless in all situations. I know that's not what he means, but hopefully it is just his grammar that is the root of his confusing statements, and not him being plain stupid and giving smugglers a turd for a publish.

"The Luck stat is modified for Smugglers. Anything that is added to the game will affect other classes, too, unless it's a specific Smuggler ability." Does he not know how vague this is?

This is what makes me think he is an idiot. "Yes, but I'm still debating them. I'll probably change the ones I have listed. That's a good line of questioning. Y'all seem to want innate armor. I have a feeling you min/maxers will still wear the best armor you can and add any innate armor abilities in, if they're added. So, I'm reluctant to add innate armor..." Why should this work any differently than jedi clothing and robes? Even if it is innate armor and not "smuggler clothes" (clothes should just add armor, there shouldn't be "jedi clothes" or "smuggler clothes" but whatever SOE), the innate armor could be null when wearing armor pieces. Just like wearing a cloak with jedi armor clothes underneath.

"Oh, and the fact that armor does not seem to be iconic to smugglers.... But hey... Criminals like to get the best advantage they can, when dealing with shady people... " What is this supposed to mean? Really, what the hell is it supposed to mean?! He is quoting the above quote about innate armor, and seems like he might be contradicting what he said in the first quote...but the second quote makes such little sense in the way he applied it that you don't know WHAT he meant.

I am playing classical music to try to relax me. I'm in a very grumpy mood right now! Running on three hours of sleep and seeing how nonsensical the guy that is doing our revamp is just makes me angry.

[Mobus]

Well, I made my post. It's on page 20. I should have waited until I was not in a bad mood, but meh. They can handle it.

Here it is if you're nosey like that.

"About armor. If you are not comfortable with innate armor, how about giving us clothing armor like Jedi get? Better yet, how about taking off the Jedi requirement of those clothes, put more in the game, make them craftable, and allow them to be worn by ALL professions. I don't even understand why that isn't how it was done in the first place when "jedi clothing" was first introduced. One thing though, we'll need more hat models. Swoop helm is the only thing most people would even consider putting on their heads that drops as armor-clothing. Or give us the option of wearing armor-modded shoes instead of an armor-modded hat. I don't know if you can do that with the no-armor-boots system, but I'm sure you could if you wanted to.

Am I missing something or does this just seem like common sense? Apologies for the grumpy mood and narrow-mindedness, but three hours of sleep will do that to you. If there is a design or development reason this would not work, please tell me so I can not be disappointed if it doesn't happen.

More important than armor is the smuggling system, but there is really nothing I can say that hasn't been said before. There are people in this forum with much more thought, imagination, work, and heart put into thinking up a smuggling system than I. Listen to them.

Now please pass this along!

/beer;
/pie;
/macro beern'pie;"

That's the post. Now I can understand them not wanting to give clothing armor to all professions, but they need to at least consider this for the ones that just don't feel right decked out in armor. And you know what, depending on the person, that could be all of them. What if I want to be that scantily clothed hawt twi'lek bh who seduces her enemies and then sucker kicks them in the balls and follows up with a clean shot to the head?

[Kindreth Kin]

they also stated there will not be any spice making for smugglers,
/slap devs
/force run
/points to mobus

[Mobus]

Which hopefully means we will be smuggling it instead.

if that happens, i can only HOPE for a clean shot to the head lol

[eoro]

smuggler's will be doing spice like the columbian drug lords......

«mobus shoves spice up ass»
«struts past K-9 Stormtrooper Unit»
«Malox (R) (Tm)»

if that's the case i won't be using any of that stuff lol

Weapon slicing is not in expertise. The expertise modifies your weapons enough that you do not need it. Smugglers are not getting crafting abilities
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've read through suggestions. I'll answer a few questions, if y'all don't mind asking... (hah!)

So far... Smuggers are gunslingers and/or melee. Smugglers can get very lucky. Smugglers can crowd control. Smugglers can combo to do massive amounts of damage. ...and a few things that I won't give away yet...

Smugglers will not make spice. I'm also not commenting on the smuggling system.
