Ok... I am going to do my job here


Please post your questions in this thread that you want to be answered by the devs.


They have not asked me to do this, but i want enough ammunition to fire when they ask me.


Please read the entire post and try not to ask the same question twice. Keep it free from opinions or analysis please, there are plenty of threads to analyze and comment on. Lastly, keep in mind that i am doing what i can to make sure all of your voices are heard.


Thanks Rangers. I appreciate your help.

OK here we go...



  1. How does TH's listing of "Ranger Enhancements" fit into this new version of SWG?

  2. For those of us who never ground out Jedi (because we didn't want to be part of the non-canonical Jedi population): we didn't get extra char slots 'cause jedi didn't interest us. Does that mean that we won't get second character slot now in this new system?

  3. Are the current weapon stats staying put?

  4. Are there any plans for housing changes?

Does armor decay in normal combat like it does now? If it does not there will be little reason to collect hides to sell to armorsmiths which is/was a primary source of income for this profession.

I have read a few other post and i think that even SOE didnt know about this. With the rumors of SOE not resigning there contract to the rights, or with the knowledge that the contract is coming up, i thinkt hat LA came up with this not SOE, and i would like to reason to belive that SOE didnt even know till recently. My reasons for thinking this are, the CH necklace, and all the other mustafar loot crafting gear, all the crafting content that will probably become null void. I really dont think that they would announce the smuggler and ranger revamp if they really planned to do this. Even to shut people up that doesnt make sense. That is why i think it is LA rather than SOE that did this.

Q: What will happen to the ranger forum once the profession is taken out of the game? Will the devs leave it up, change it to the "spy" forum, or simply dump it?

What will happen to the many rangers who are not Master?

What will happen to the many rangers who have less than CL80 because of the scout pre-req?





BTW:

It may have been a LA decision, but SOE would not have been able to put all these changes together in such a short time, I would guess that SOE have known and been working on this for 6 mnths+

I have only one question


These nine professions are they the initial 9? Are there going to be more professions readded at a later date once all the changes have been put through? Specifics arnt needed just a hope that we will not be railroaded into 9 categories.

1)Why even propose the Ranger revamp?


2)Why do the Squad Leader revamp?


3)Why can't we ever change our character once the respec runs out?


4)How many players did you consult about this change?


5)Why is the NGE being done with little to no player feedback? I know it will be on TC but only for a few weeks and the overall design is already done.


6)How long was the NGE worked on prior to being announced?



I've been here since Beta 3 and have always remained positive even with all of the broken promises. I will give this new system a try but I'm very disappointed on how this whole thing was carried out. The TOOW expansion should never have been released without this announcement being made. Obviously, SOE and LA wanted to make sure and get everyone's money prior to the changes going public. I just can't believe how poorly this looks for both of these companies.

In the NGE, how does creature resource gathering work?

Will food be crafted the same way it is now?

Will Food additives be crafted the same way it is now?

As a long time Ranger I have been waiting very long for the Ranger update to come up, now with these new changes I feel left out.


I ask SOE/LAthese questions:


Why you did not inform us earlier?I really want to know WHY???


Back to Ranger: Is the Ranger profession being changed into Spy Profession, or is it being canceled completely? Will we be able to change professions after we finish our respec? like give up skills and grind new skills? would the spy have Camps, Traps... other Ranger tools?


P.S: AgonThalia/Draknev,it was great having you as our Ranger Corespondent. I am sad and sorrythatSOE/LA did this to us. I hope you will be the Spy Corespondent someday.

Here's my number 1 question that I haven't seen addressed yet.


1. Since there is no scout anymore, will every combat profession (including jedi) be able to harvest creature resources?
