Ranger Archive

Now, it is important to note, that what is not said there is that you have to be novice scout to use this.

But, guess what, this just makes our single biggest problem worse. Already,people withnovice scout and combat templatescould out harvest us. Well, guess what, now they can just harvest even more. So can we mind you since we can use the droids. But what the *self edit* point is there in being a Ranger now if life just got even easier for non-rangers to harvest.

Thats it, the devs hate us, I've lost the last smidgen of hope I ever had for this profession. I've been a Ranger since the begining of this game. That just killed it for me. I'm going to give it a day or so before I actually do it, but most likely, say goodbye to one of the last Original Master Rangers of Chilastra.

If the droids use the player's harvest modifier, it makes no real difference. It'll just be a more convenient way to harvest.

If the droids' harvest rate is determined by the DE's module, and if that module can harvest at levels on par with a Ranger, then I'll be officially pissed off.

i came here to post about this, but tis already up. This is just... ugh... disgusting?

Before we panic I suggest we wait to find out if the amount harvested is based on a players harvest ability or the droid's own internal ability.

If it is not based on the players ability, then the loud complaining shall commence.

Thanks reptilespit...I think that is the wisest recourse.

before I really get angry... I need to make sure that this is something to be angry about.

yeah maybe they should make droids that can let you have a higher level pet

Once again we have been shat upon.

No other profession has had anything stolen from them.

Scouts had TN given to Squad Leaders and Combat Medics. Yes, all that leading and healing helps you run hills better.

Then camps were made useless to placate the whiners.

We had rescue, argueably our most useless skill, nerfed because we could mess with the uber BHs with it.

Now DEs can craft a droid that harvests.

I could say a large number of choice words, having extensive experience with expletives. However, simple words say it best.

TH doesn't care about us, he is catering to the masses, and we are not the masses. He is more than willing to screw us over to make a larger class happy. He must have gotten wind of our idea that more harvesting abilities would make us happy, and improve the economy, so he took the short way out and will now let anyone harvest.

Two words TH, and they ain't Happy Birthday.

why don't they make droids that can poison and disease targets, and buff targets, and do stun damage to targets, or use force powers on targets. Oh because that would hurt the professions that 80% of the people have on this game. But they should make the uber professions even better and easier to use right? ugh. I'm sick at home..this is not what i needed to hear.

I would like to point out that the idea of a droid that harvests was mentioned in the Scout forums some time back. It was a Scout request to have it added. If it only makes it so that you don't have to do the harvesting yourself, then I don't see it as a problem. Especially if adroid brings in the 60% harvest rule. If it lets people who can't harvest do so or it lets people harvest more than they already do then we might have a problem. But I agree with the wait and see approach. Who knows, it might even be useful.

I do agree with you on that, thats why I said I was giving it a few days. Although TH's latest comments I can't say are very encouraging to me either. At this point I'm about ready to give Ranger up, and it hurts for me to say that because I love this profession and have never been anything else but.

One thing I'd like to point out though, I find it endlessly frustrating that any changes made to scout, or suggestions made to "just change scout", have a direct effect on Rangers as we currently are implemented; yet, we never hear hardly any of it on this board. Yeah I could just read over the scout board too and see it, but it would be nice to see proposals that are so game impacting to scout, at least referenced here.

Guys...you need the harvest command to use it. I will test it wqhen I can and report in .
