It said it all on the testing forum poll yesterday.


"Will you be recconmending SWG to your friends". Last time I checked, 56% said no.

Incorrect. first off, mando is Assault armor. Secondly, the reason we got an armor cert is because the devs recognized that Rangers are often put in dangerous situations.

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.

The biggest silver lining that I've seen, if it stays this way...


Kreetles are no longer aggro.


My Tat camo kits might actually last longer than a minute, and my /maskscent hotkey might finally get a rest...

The biggest silver lining to the Cu may well be the removal of my addiction to SWG and the saving of some money every month. WOOHOO!

Id like to interject here just from a few observations i have made... sense we AS's and Rangers are so closely tied.

Your now getting your Armor Cert b/c they gimp'd ya on your health bonus See, we dont even get that and we Make the armor lol

Secondly, they gave you a Mando Cert b/c they knew, no ranger could ever survive the DWB A cruel Joke indeed....

Lastly, i luv you Rangers, but i seriously see this CRUD (Combat Rebalance's Ultimate Demise) truely killing off most of us; I honestly feel this way from the sentiment of my friends, reading the boards, and seeing in game TC-5 Players talking. The dev staff needs to make drastic changes to all crafters , CMs/Docs, medics/ be's/, entertainers, rangers, scouts, and start making some positive comments giving us specific deadlines into which we won't be so hard hit. I still can't figure out why all of us have been so hard hit when this "update" was supposed to only fix broken professions (you guys) specials, address buffs and maximum armor protections, and fix some specials. WHen did we ask for a whole new game and EPIII content? I loved this game, but it's getting depressing with each day passing. I got chewed out from the TKA Corrospondent for not giving "creative input" while trolling on his board, but seriously, how much more creative input to we need to give these folks after the 2 years of ideas, guides, and stickies. Thanks for letting me voice my opinion.

Or we could go one better-- Rangers on every server could band together and form an organics consortium. The increase in resources required for armor and BE products, coupled with the inevitable decrease in Ranger population,may just give those of us that are left an opportunity to cripple our respective galaxies.


Let them choke. Maybe then we will be acknowledged asuseful and necessarymembers of our communities.

That is not a good sign...

The kreetle is our arch enemy and most rangers have a love/hate relationship with them,,,, See the other Kreetle thread in this forum...







Let us not forget that the Syck breaks you just as fast the kreetle. I live on tat and I can tell you this with out a doubt.

That is easily done. its funney that the devs don't realise that we can make or break this game.

The only good thought I have of the Devs giving all of the abilities we asked for to other classes, was to see how they would work out before they gave them to us in our own revamp.

Of course it's assault. I meant we got armor in the first place because we are one of the few professions that were given Mando armor (and the only one not to keep it post-CU by the way).

Funny they recognize us getting into dangerous situations, then decide to give us an armor cert when what they're trying to do is not hamstring players into using armor. IF they really recognize this, where's the CL increase?
