So I suggest we combine them all into a single token currency that gets awarded for for the various activities. Different activities should award different amounts depending on the risk vs reward. PVP activities such as bounty hunting or FRS should award more than a OG heroic an example. Obviously the details would need to be decided on but I think price increases would be appropriate given that a user can do a variety of activities. Given our lowish population, its not always possible to do the content you need to in order to obtain the item you want. So opening it up would help and also let players get the items they want by doing the content that they want to engage with and not have to do something they don't want to just to get an item. Thank you for the suggestion. This is definitely an interesting idea and I understand the reasoning behind consolidating currencies to give players more flexibility in how they engage with content. That said, a change like this would require a significant amount of work to implement and balance properly across all systems. With an all-volunteer staff team, limited resources, and a very full development roadmap, this is not something that is likely to be implemented anytime soon. We do appreciate the thought put into the suggestion and the feedback on accessibility. Orton Evolve Community Manager

Make the MUS grind do what it is supposed to do. Have it add the armor, the damage, the extra range. I don't think it needs a major boost over base NGE MUS. Make fast talk and sly lie group buffs. Maybe short duration like some of the squad leader buffs. Maybe one offensive one defensive. Add some armor negate to pistols. Not a ton to make them overpowered but enough to make them on par with other weapons. Add some significant action cost reduction to be more in line with other classes. Reduce the number of points to get to master smuggler so its more in line with other professions like assassin Make all smuggler abilities work with all weapons. A good number of the abilities do not work with heavy weapons. I haven't tested other weapons Overhaul the expertise to give us the choice between damage or debuffs. Create a few more attacks with short cool down maybe 3 or 4. The debuffs have a pretty long cool down and arent really that useful. Change scandal from AOE damage to straight weapon damage since there is only cover fire as an aoe. increase the time of Break the Deal to 10-15 seconds to make it somewhat useful I think these would go a long way in making smuggler on par with the other professions. Thank you for the detailed suggestion and for taking the time to lay everything out so clearly. There are a lot of thoughtful ideas here around improving Smuggler’s overall feel and bringing it more in line with other professions. Development will take a look at this. We do currently have a very full roadmap as we work toward our next chapter release, so changes like this may take some time to review and implement properly. I’ll keep you posted on where these ideas end up. Orton Evolve Community Manager Historical reactions: Like × 1
