Ranger Archive

Honestly, it's what you make of it.

If you like hunting different creatures, other than the uber loot droppers, it's a good choice because of the harvesting mods and the ability to track. That's 0040, but other than that, it's all personal preference. Personally, I like killing everything from Torturs to Rancors. Harvesting what's in shift gives me a chance to switch every week or so, rather than camp nightsisters or whatever.

As for money? Sure, I can make a couple of million selling a resource.. but those buyers SPEND a couple of million buying your stuff, so they can turn around and do a factory run to create items that sell for much more profit. Rangers can make money, but we can never compete with Docs and Armorsmiths.

As for not needing buffs? Nothing about ranger gives us an inate ability to go without buffs or armor. Nothing. I think it's popular among most rangers to go without buffs, simply because you don't need them when harvesting durnis or banthas. Let's be honest. Also, it's usually a hassle to find a buff every time you want to go hunt/harvest, and nearly every creature can be soloed by using proper tactics, unbuffed.

If you're trying to fight Rancors while unbuffed, however, you're just doing it for the challenge aspect... I can take down a juvenille krayt by standing off at 64meters and doing /concealshot while unbuffed and using stimB's to heal every 15 shots. Not too exciting.. I have nothing against buffs, since I like to kill fast and harvest quickly while minimizing my time in the cloning center. :-)

Anyone can hunt without buffs, and most can do it better than Rangers since we sacrifice so many skill points, leaving us with barely enough for novice medic and a master combat profession.

Well I am now proud to say I'm on my way to becoming a part of this great community. I should have Novice in a few days and then I will enjoy a nice long but relaxed non-grind to Master.

well, now you know how most, if not all, of the Ranger community feels. Its truely a feat that Tiggs found this forum to post the Need a New Correspondent thread...

TBH, I reckon they had the help of a ranger, maybe a corry... Either that or they just followed the trail of M&M's we left out the other day.

Also, here's another gread Ranger thing.

The Great Ranger Meets.

How many other professions get together on one server one day for just a big hunting shindig? I don't think any others do.

I was going to say 'apart from the hunting' what about the ents Cantina Crawl??

And then I remembered the Hawtpant Squad and realised it's just a different kind of hunt.

Glad to have a new Ranger--

my two cents is this:

The best part about being a Ranger is the people you get to meat (haha, it's a pun!).

We have had two of the best correspondants ever to grace the boards (NRass and Calculus- who, sadly, is departing).

We have a community of some of the best idea-generators in the game

Rangers are almost TOO polite and positive

There are very few "flames" and almost no random complaining.

There is a lack ofpetitions-- which helps generate IDEAS and FEEDBACK

The community has a lot of fun together

We love having fun

Being a Ranger is more important than faction or anything else

You can be a "Ranger" without actually having Ranger in your template. It's just something you LIVE.
