Thread: Ranger Class Service Announcment.
"Bing Bong,
Thank you for your interest in joining the "Ranger Profession Forum", A home for people dedicated to the advancment of the Ranger class within the SWG Game.
Unfortuanatly The ranger class will,over the commingmonth, be reduced to a waste of your time. The development team have been working hard over the last few months to give us a class they felt worthy of the grandiose title of "Master Ranger" and soon with the removal of the utility of our basic class functions we'll have arrived at that goal.
A Class totally devoid of any utility.
The Ranger comunity would like to appoligise to all those that have recently taken an interest in taking up the class. Our comunity representative (Nrass)has been a Bastion of hope for us who are longer serving members of the class and has near faultlessly collated all the information and suggestions from our babbling mouths and arranged them in a well organised easy to read document using small words and suitable colours for those with reading difficulties and colourblindness.
We have suggested multple routes in which the skill tree's could be developed and enhanced to greater portray the "master of the wilderness" and "ultimatle creature hunter" guises that have both taken there turn at the helm of the developers "vision" for the class. These things may be a while comming however... having the bulk of our issues cataloged and documented for the last 9 months has failed to see any headway really made on those.
Given the current turnaround that has been seen with other classes, we expect the ranger class to become an almost productive and playable class in about 3 months time. In the mean time we would like to direct you to the scout class, which should forfill any needs you have to bone chickens, skin lizzards or milk cows.
If you are interested in becomming a ranger please leave your name and server below and we'll get back to you as soon as we feel the ranger class is worth the investment of your time and money. We'd hate to see you infuriated with the class when it is in such a state, especially since the class has the potential to be so much more worth your time and ours.

personally I'd like to see this stickied so that we don't get anyone join the profession with delusions of coolness only to have there hopes dashed.
I've wanted to be a Star Wars Ranger since day one of buying the game. I don't give a **edit** what the devs will "do" to this profession or how they will "fix" it or "nerf" it. I have my own ideas for my Ramger and he will go on to be a 4/4/4/1 Ranger. I will stay Master Squad Leader and gain the title of Trickshot in Pistoleer. I see this as a chance for Ranger to become a term that has no one set definition. I know we want a "vision" but I say that "vision" is in the eye of the beholder! Everyone here should only concern themselves with what kind of a "Ranger" they want to be. Me? I just want to be the Ultimate Squad Leader, totally selfless in principles I give my squad camo (even if it doesn't make us super stealthy), I give my squad the ultimate in camping tech (even though they aren't needed to call anything), I can lead my squad directly to our quarry (even if the quarry spawns directly on top of us when we get there), I can rescue my squad members in trouble (in my opinion the most selfless act a "Ranger" or "Squad Leader" can perform).
I will not leave Ranger, call me a fool or just blind. The Ultimate Squad Leader is who I want my character to be!

Will the last ranger on the servers turn out the light when he leaves

Will do.
"Will do."
Oh you think so eh? Well you're gonna have to fight me for it. 'Cause I ain't gonna to let you outlast me! 
Last Ranger standing gets to turn off the light!.

My sentiments exactly...I like being the only Ranger in my guild (cept for the holo ranger, whom I razz at every opportunity) and generally the only ranger on the planet. As for the fighting, *cries* I am not a Novice TKA yet so I can't kill anyhting....but I will be tonight

Actually, you guys are all wrong. Saying you will be the last person to quit means, you will quit. You guys just admitted you will quit

You kill me NRaas. And the original post on here is freaking hilareous. LOL.
NRaas, *pulls out Pistal of Kiting +40*
Looks like there will be 5 or 6 of us staying. Maybe the Dev's will at least give us rangers the ability to cross galaxies so we won't be so lonely
And don't worry, pretty soon all the professions will be boring and useless. Then, when us "old-timers" die off, SOE can start adding abilities back in and they will look like heros to those that didn't know better.
