It just occurred to me (cos i'm a little slow) you have to master scout (60SP)to get ranger

any other prof you need novice skill (a) and (b) =30SP + 4 branches ofeach skill = 20SP end result =50SP

Why 10 more Skill Points than any other prof?

Maybe cos the rewards are so great

Not sure if anyone else has posted this as i'm new to ranger (and a little bit lightheaded at the sudden realization)

It's actually more like 21 SP more than some masters.


And it's because we get the cool clothes, the ubers skills, and the hot Twi'lek dancer chicks dig us.

and yes, we are the only professsion that requires a master basic profession. As it was written, as it has been, as it shall be...

Because we were outside of the scope of the CU, and that reduced a lot of the requirements for "combat" professions.




Yeah right, Docs suddenly become a combat professions.

Oh, I thought of another reason.



So the devs wouldn't have to be creative.



They just slapped a copycat of a novice profession onto a master profession and called it worthy.

Darianne and Bio, I think your feedback on this issue would be more appropriate here

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

*yawn*

You know something, Phenix. If you don't recognize a sarcastig joke, then please don't talk to me.

For the record: Bio's statement made me laugh... It's not negative ranting, it's stating a fact. But said in a humorous way I can appreciate. If you can't, then ignore.

Because the Zab chicks dig my bad ass camp and like to sit by the fire with me. You need mad skill points for that to happen.

what is a sarcastig joke again?

Now do you I think that this is actually what the devs did? Of course not. Do I think that you think that's what the devs did? Of course not. I get that you're being sarcastic, believe me. But sarcasm which isn't funny (sorry, but I simply don't find insulting the devs funny anymore) but which is negative in nature belongs in the same place as whining and pointless ranting, as it has the same negative impact on the rest of the community and it comes off as nothing more thanjust another"the devs suck" post. It's unconstructive and simply no longer funny, in my book.

Explain to me why it's insulting? I doubt, like many others, the DEVS read these posts. G-man or V-man might and lock/delete. DEVS don't see it. And consider facts: 4 trees in ranger = equal in scout and just add. Even the TYPE of XP is the same (scouting xp now). So don't tell me, Bio's statement was incorrect. Nor mine: Ranger traps are NOT working. Scout traps are. Scout Maskscent is working; Ranger Camo is partial working. Even with more foraging points at Ranger, you get the same useless stuff you could get as Scout too. That's 3 of the 4 trees.



Stating facts will never be insulting in my eye. And I do take all things with a bucketload of salt.


You should too. It's healthier.

I doubt, like many others, the DEVS read these posts. So if I call you names behind your back, does that mean it's not an insult. Whether or not they read it, it's an insult.

Nor mine: Ranger traps are NOT working. Scout traps are. I see things differently, so I'd say your statements were more of an opinion. Ranger traps DO work. Throw a sonic pulse-- watch both effects stick. States IN GENERAL aren't as powerful as they should be, but that's a game-wide problem, not a Ranger bug.

So...was it a joke or a statement of belief? You can't have it both ways.Either it was meant sarcastically, or it's the way you actually feel.


You should too. It's healthier.


I take EVERYTHING that some people say with a grain of salt.
