Alright, I am throughly confussed about this. This has to deal with the DNA samples themselves. We get DNA samples, we put them together in order from physical - hardness/fortitude, prowess - dex/endeur.. etc etc et.. BUT when it comes time to do the experimentation, I get 2 percent for phyiscal,mental,prowess and 30+ percent for aggression and/or physcological. I had an idea about that, but I can't get it to work twice or I forgotten simple in the process or something.. Anyone know how to get phyiscal experimentation up above 1 percent?


I did it once, and made a gurreck with better stats than a tamed one in all the catagories, but I can't do it again. Please help me remember. I should have wrote myself notes...duh me. Thanks

In case you forgot:


"After a month of working hard and writing down numbers, I finally figured out tonight how to make an awesome AWESOME pet. I made a gurreck at 1100 ham (normal for tamed), with 600 damage, and that wasthe first timewith crap DNA. (I made a dalyrake at 850 ham, with usual damage - thats 200 health more than normal). What I'm worried about is the fact that BE's are going to get nerfed, or that there will be some change to this proceedure. I dont want it to change, I just figured it out and like it the way it is. Please if there is a developer reading this, please do not change it. Thanks.

I tired to do the process again, the same way I did it before, and it didn't work (at least notwith very high samples with master BE). I've been experience grinding since I made that post, and well, dang it, I forgot. (I swear to God as my witness).


What I THOUGHT was that all the DNA samples had to be in similarity, and my reasoning was like (if you sample from a giant, and then from a miget your going to get an adverage person because it evens out). Like if you put 1000/900 from hardness/fortitudeinto physical, you also had to put similar stats into the prowess for the same hardness/fortitude, and so on down the line. So idealy if you hadfive DNA samples with all 1000 stats, you would have 100 percent experimentation. I DID this, and it worked.. but alas I went into an experience grind for CH and BE and dangit. Now I can't get it to work. I think i'm missing something or maybe my samples wern't close enough to change the experiementation. Another guy, Zurai I think was his name, also suggested this idea a little while back. Actually thinking about it, it might be that my samples wern't close enough together to change the experimentation. Its harder now at master lvl because they range from 400-1000+. I know that I know that this is possible because I did it before. There was more than one variable that much I remember. Well now you know my method. I remembered something after typing this out. Let me know if you guys come up with anything. Man I'm so stupid..

I finally max out advanced trapping 4 and head back to town to find a fellow ranger to teach me. Up to this point, the rangers I've met, been taught by, or taught, have been some of the coolest people around. I'd teach/be taught a skill, and usually end up talking to the guy for a few minutes about life as a ranger. So I do a search for a ranger, and there just happens to be a master in town (usually isn't the case). I send him a /tell, and he asks what faction I am, I reply that I'm an imp, he refuses saying he only trains rebels.


Now I've seen this going up the marksman/rifleman professions, and I know it's the guy's right to do it, but why ranger? *sigh* Guess there's one out there in every profession...

Maybe he was a holo ranger?

That's the only think that I can think of. I never have problems training any ranger (so long as they are not overt the other faction) and i have even taken opposing factions out to help them along. in my (and most) opinion ranger is ranger and it just seems that most of us value that above all else.


plase let me know if i am wrong about this.

Nope. Scout/Ranger is all I care about.


Heck, I honestly don't even care if they're overt. The only thing I care about is if they're a member of one of the various rebelguilds that my guild doesn't play well with, and even then it's more of a "do I know/get along withthis player or not" sort of thing.


It seems to me, the only time I've seen "discrimination" in the game was a) roleplaying related, or b)PvP related.

Nope, you're not wrong. blah blah blah


What's/who's a guy gotta do to get the dang "edit" option?

Weak. Really, really weak.



Oh well, only one more post, and what? 4 months? to go.

""discrimination" in the game was a) roleplaying related,"


Personally I think it would be pretty poor roleplay for an Imperial ranger to be offering training to a Rebel terrorist ranger. He could very quickly find himself shot for aiding the enemy. Also, there are some rangers who live to help bounty hunters hunt the Jedi (mostly Imperial rangers) while there are others who have devoted themselves (Antarians) to protecting the Jedi. I imagine they are not on friendly relations with one another.


While it is true that despite our in-game allegiances/politics/etc, we are a very warm community, that doesn't mean that in-game our characters have to be a community as well.


It all depends on the roleplay. And roleplay is a perfectly good reason to not give someone training. In fact roleplay should be the primary reason for all actions in the game. It is, after all, a roleplaying game.

Ranger is not a profession. It's a lifestyle.

Yes, everyone is certainly entitled to train who they wish. We are not required to train anyone, so it is the Ranger's call. My personal habit is to train anyone who asks me, even *gulp* BH. I have a doc buddy who won't buff non-Rebels and he gets along just fine. We found out the other day that Imps were using his buff packs and poisons against us in PvP raids; he is one of the best medicine crafters on our server. That has since caused him to ban every imp guild he can find from his hospital which contains his vendors. He does this in the name of roleplaying, and while there are a few complaints, most people understand.
