Ranger Archive

I hope we get melee/ranged defenses (like Doctor/CM did). And perhaps some combat specials. A special rifle for Rangers onlywouldnt hurt either. And they need to make camps more effective, and traps.

I don't get it. They know that Ranger is FUBAR'ed and yet they still did nothing at all. They corrected or modified Jedi Powers, Sabers, Enhancers, and Healers, yet they could not do something as simple as fix trapping for us. They fixed smuggler, but the poor Rangers; we seem to have been forgotten.

Because the people that play Ranger will do so even if it gets no fixes. There is no incentive to do anything with Ranger at this time whent here are so many other areas (money making areas) that do need attention. The in game economy functions with or without rangers as do every other aspect of the game so we will always be last or on the back burner since we have low impact to the ingame economy, the end game, the meta game, or the subscription rate to SWG. Sorry. We have been waiting and will continue to wait for some time.

Ranger is a rarely mastered profession. Why? Because it is a skillpoint drain with little use other than terrain negotiation, eyecandy camps, and harvest bonus at master. Why hasn't it been fixed? Because very few people play Ranger. In other words, it's rarely played due to a lack of good use, yet it won't get fixed due to little use. Evil cycle that will probably never end except for the possible fix to pop tarts that'll make the profession closer to worthless than it is now. No offense, I love Ranger for the RP (mastered it 3 times, on the 4th now). I'm frustrated that it is on the back burner.

BTW Rolfie, something seems to have been "fixed" on Lok... either that, or I'm having a LOT better luck. In a couple hours last night, I found about a half dozen wild spawns of GDKs, most with 2 or 3 kimos there that respawned at least twice. Ended up with a TON of good bone, plus a few sets of armor cores AND some GDK scales! I laugh at the Kimo Town campers now, Ha ha ha! From the river that runs to the west of Kimogilla Town down heading SE towards the volcano, the entire area was just crawling with wild spawn. I hope it lasts, that's how it SHOULD be. I was having to kill lots of random stuff just to clear areas for myself to rest in or retreat too if something went wrong... IMHO, that's how it should be. Very much fun.

Lucky you. On Bria, at least when I play, there are so many lvl80 group gurk missions on lok that it reaches the spawn hard cap all the time. Wild spawns of anything are quite rare. And when they are there, they'll disappear to make room for mission spawns. IT sucks. I've lived on Lok since nearly from the beginning for the wonderful hunting ground it proved to be. Now that everyone and their den mother hunts there... /sigh

On Ahazi right now it appears that hte grinders are on Rori and Dantoonie and I hope they stay there.

Leave LOK alone.
