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.

Still, camps are every bit as much symbols of the "new unfriendly swg" as anything else. When you walk or tavel by the "tent cities" outside of Theed or Coronet, filled with afk rangers and scouts, many of them spamming for people to visit their camps just for the privaledge of sitting in the company of a macro-grinding ranger, it really gives me just as sad a feeling as visiting an all-afk cantina, or a medical center with more tumblers than doctors.




you know, i did see this recently... but believe it or not, the same thing that happened way out in the wilderness happened right outside coronet too...


i was wandering through that area to go pick up my new trapping droid, and i decided i needed to go ahead and make some traps to load into it... so i head out into the field of camps, and drop an HTFB for the crafting station (i never can remember beforehand that you can't experiment on traps like you can camo kits)... coronet is an incredibly high traffic area on wanderhome and folks came from everywhere to check out the camp... there were people there grinding survival xp, who disbanded their camps just to come sit in mine and talk... i was flabbergasted... the camp may bring a lot of folks in, but the best part is that some of thecoolest folks in the game stick around...


i even watched one guy with the "master commando"title head off to the scout trainer - he had decided at that moment to become a ranger... who knows if he'll stick with it, but i was as satisfied with my camp outside coronet as i was in the wilds of lok...

pretty sad, letting customers pass you by because you only want to make composite.


ahh well, would probably be better off not using armor anyways








Different types of armor require different resources..... you can't move all you harvestors, wait for good shifts for those resources, all for 1 order? You need to specialize or you only make really crappy stuff that nobody wants..... since most people want composite.... most people specialize in that. There are a few AS that specialize in Ubese and Padded, and don't do composite, but because of the lesser demand, that are fewer of these.


Same goes for the person complaining about smugglers and not slicing for individuals..... In a market economy you need to find a niche and stick with it. You can't be all things to all people. In an ecomomy it is all about supply and demand...... People pay well for buffs and nothing for treating wounds..... result, nobody treats wounds, just heal tumblers until they can buff.


All non-combats professions has adjusted themselves to what combats have demanded.... compostie armor and buffs. So don't complain.

Thank you Tuskkiller for that insight,( bet you cant tell I know almost absolutly nothing about crafting ), and after Nemo0 had also given his advice, I got to thinking about this very thing....and came to the conclusion that, I indeed did make a mistake and should put more effort into looking into the situation before posting my (pointless rants of incoherent nonsense )


Thank you again Tuskkiller, I hope I have learned my lesson. If not I hope all of you will forgive me, I am still trying to learn the ropes.


Good Journey.

Everything you stated is true. I remember being in a small group of somewhat noobs, trying to make a run at the harder creatures, and being able to put up a camp was great. Talking with people, the roleplaying, it was alot of fun. I don't even know if half of them would remember me.


I think the HTFB is one the coolest things in the game. I have a screen shot of one that I had put out from a long ways away. I put one out now and I still get the "wow" effect.


I love them.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who is in awe of them every time i see one... you'd think that feeling would wear offafter seeing enough of them, but somehow they surprise me each and every time... i'm not kidding either.. i feel like a newbie looking at one for the first time, every time...


it's kind of like drinking some really cold water on a hot day when you didn't even know you were thirsty, it is always a shock at how refreshing it is... things that make you go 'aaahhhh'...

I sometimes start to feel that im taking my HTFB forgranted so i sometimes find it fun to run out into the wild with a basic camp kit can just sittin around for a while.


Also I have a theory as to why many people ar anti- social. It all has to do with hologrinding, In order master all 32 profs. it takes alot of time, most of it spent alone crafting etc. and because of this they dont go out and socialize. S once the jedi revamp (which should have came after the other prof.'s were fixed) comes out you wont see as many people just afk grinding as such.

This drove me away, Hologrinding and high end loot camping. Boy I remember Dantooine before the holocron camps and player cities, was my favorite place to be Now its Dathomir. I really hope that after they eliminate the Hologrinding that we see a resurgance of SWG role playing and game play. SOE has created an entire generation of players whos main aim is to get thru a profession as quick as possible and this really troubles me :0

When I first saw a HTFB I thought:"What the f**k is that...?" I visited it,and they guy that had putted it up was really freindly and told me about ranger. I decided I wanted to be one...Just like that. So,I was boring of that char anyway,so I deleted him and replaced him with a Trandoshan on Corbantis.

Master Scout took me some time,but IF you really want to master it,it goes fast. Picked up novice ranger about 4 weeks ago..Its really fun to track stuff down and tame/kill it,but I mainly work on Pikeman first. It feels better to get both scouting and pikeman xp when you are doing a mission. Also feels good to be able to take care of yourself out in the wilderness. And people ask me why I dont live in a city...The wilderness is my home,and thats why Ranger! Apart from that,all this obsession of becoming a jedi with grinding and stuff DESTROYS THE GAME!!! There can be 10 docs in a hospital,but noone take care of my disease cause they all are afking healing tumblers...And when you ask,they get mad! There are telt citys outside Coronet...But its not a refugee camp,its a camp for those who wants to become JEDI when it dousent match the movies at all! This is the first SW game when u can play something else than a jedi!!! I bought it feel the SW feeling...not thefeeling of the whole galaxy hologrinding to no use...AND THAT SUX!







You dont like what I post?
There is nothing I can care less about than that.
