Most important thing to know is which part of the rifle you want to be behind and not in front of.

Sorry about that.... stupid internet explorer.


Does SOE know their forum doesnt work with FireFox?


Anyway...


My main question I guess is, how do you guys feel about the Master Rifle / Master Ranger

combo? I've been out playing with a nice krayt T-21, but I can't say I'm very impressed.

Im not a master ranger yet,only 2-1-1-2,cause I figured it would make more sense to get

the combat skill all the way up, then grindthe remaining Ranger.


With my Rifle skills, should I concentrate ongroup hunting, or can I level up fine solo?

Should I even use Rifle as my combatskill, or do pistol or carbine work better?


My main goal is to PVE hunt and just enjoy the back woods. Group hunting is always

fun, but I will solo quite a bit (with the understanding that I am not uber).


Any tips you guys can give me on Ranger hunting would be great. It seems pretty lame

to have respec'ed to a skill without having learned the ropes, but I catch on quick.


THANKS!

Honestly Oceas, everything on that subject is really up in the air. If you hit the Rifleman forums you'll see that some fixes are coming our way from that angle. As far as ranger goes... man we just are plain broke. Best thing for hunting we have going for us ranger wise is our bonus to harvest. If that's your game, then best to group with a ranger buddie to get an additional bonus. If you really don't care about how fast you bring in the harvest, then solo hunting is the best.


I got a post or two about how I hunt. Here's my clicky.

Thanks, I understand Ranger is not workingcorrectly, and never has. I'm hoping
I'm fine with waiting a while to see what happens. Mostly I want to just get involved
and do some hunting. I'm a casual player for the most part.

Cool, I wanteed to make sure no one had sold you a pipe dream. THat being said, read up on all the stuff here. Go out and do some hunting grouped and non-grouped. Try out the timings of the traps. Try all the traps. Notice the things that work and don't work. MAKE A TON OF P-DARTS. Get a fishing pole and forage up some worms. Learn the art of placing that camp just right. Turn off all chat and go on a hunt or ten. Join the RIN channel on Bria. Take advantage of the respec and try pistoleer/carbine and the melee ( then come screaming back to ranged!)


Find out what your style is. That's the most important thing to determine.

Cool, I decided to stick with Master Rifle / Master Ranger. I'm only 2-2-2-4 Ranger

now, but I should be able to master in a couple sessions based on the amount of

XP im getting. I also joined the RIN channel on Bria. What does that stand for anyway?


Man, I have to say that I am very pleased with the CU changes. I know all the

uber-PVP dorks probably threw fits about it, but I think it was a great change

for the game. One of the main reasons I quit several months ago was that

everyone was just solo grouping to get money and loot. I simply became bored.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm playing an online game so I can interact

with other people. These new changes bring us back to the good ole days

of group hunting.


Took me one day to get use to the new combat system, although I have a lot

to learn still. I love that the animals and stuff are actually tough now. The

MASSIVE increase in spawnsno Dantooine is simply awesome. I remember

running around on there before trying to find stuff to kill and sometimes there

was NOTHING. Now it's perfect IMO. It's a wild planet and should be teaming

with life.


I still haven't figured out armor, meds and food, but I'm getting there. Armor

seems really expensive. BTW, even though im an imp, is there battle armor

I can wear that isnt Faction? I don't want to be running around in white stormy

armor while being a Ranger. War.. that's a different story.


Laters...

Out of curiosity, does Ranger conceal (camo) stack with or aid Rifleman cover in any way?


Does cover work in pve, or pvp only?


I, too, am looking into Rifle/Ranger.


Thanks!

Something I read yesterday and last night tested.


To get Advanced snipershot to work more often (yes I know its fixed in next publish) go into 1st person mode and make sure your target is centered in your view.


Last night I was able to get Advanced Snipershot to work almost all the time while I was hunting. This includes on the side of hills and NOT laying perfectly flat.


Once Pub 17 goes live hopefully this won't be necessary anymore.

I'm a new Master Ranger on Bria. What's the RIN channel?

RIN is the Ranger Information Network. Its the place where rangers should go to share info concerning hunts, what is the catch o the day etc. Usage varies by galaxy, but when don correctly its an awesome way to pick up contracts and bum around with your fellow rangers and get to know your crafters.
