Thread: I don't want a Ranger revamp.
The more of them I see, the more they scare me.
The more of them I see the more I get the feeling that the following happens:
Your prereqs are radically hacked back and all your main XP comes from one combat type. One line will be kept for PIA XP obtained from something that requires either rare loot, loot kits or some other 'fun' content.
Skills are averaged out so that all combat professions end up with roughly the same sort of attacks. Nobody can be better, stronger, faster quicker than anyone else as that's 'just not fair'.
And then there will be dozens of 55 page threads with every other profession in the game, but two in particular, pointing out how they are more broken than you and if you don't like it there's the door.
Oh, and a steady stream of posts demanding the correspondents fix everything again, now, today and where's my respec out of this nerfed blah de blah.
Still. Should be fun, eh? (I'd be happier with 'just getting the broke stuff fixed', and a hat)
and in other news, yes, we does digg the tiggs. So there's pie in your eye.

I also really, really want to get full creature info back.

I used this all the time, and it's just worthless now
Better to be broke and proud than broken down and lose our dignity telling them to take it all back..
Have you read my revamp thread?
Make traps like grenades, showing the states, cert, and speed.
Give us a trap throwing speed modifier, so it doesn't take so dang long.
Put tracking results in order of what is north, south, east, and west.
Make our burstrun a toggle.
Allow Camo to stand against CL 90's at Master Ranger.
let us be able to /forage metals for our traps / camps if we have to make some "on the go."
Modular camps would save that tree, really.
Allow us to camoflauge pets / faction pets
Give us disease and poison defense modifiers.
Give us a creature bleeding special attack.
Allow the creature knowledge to serve as a bonus to accuracy on attacks against creatures.
Allow us to see the target's resists again.
Give us an ability to trap NPC's as described in your post.
What you're talking about, I'm all for. I call those "fixes and perks" and "game appropriate expansions on our current role." A revamp, SOE-wise, means gutting or making uber, and both will make me go ouch.
I also really, really want to get full creature info back.

HERE HERE!!!!! AMEN BROTHER!!!
I am bloody sick of 'Revamps'....just look around and see how well everyone else's 'revamps' matched the players expectations.
all the millions of lines of text churned out by players and correspondents and look what has come about in the form of revamps
Its time to wake up and smell the coffee..when you beg for revamp, and you get it, you are not going to get YOUR visions of things should work, you will get the SOE snap decison of how things should work.
Just ask the BH's, Docs, ID's, Smugglers, and Jedi's how much they like their 'revamps'
All a revamp in SOE terms is being beaten bloody senseless with the nerf bat.
and in other news, yes, we does digg the tiggs. So there's pie in your eye.

You do realize that what you're describing IS a revamp, right?
Not an *SOE* revamp.
