Thread: Any word on what our revamp is going to actually be?
I bet smugglers content comes in 21.
Then more dancers in 22 when they come up with something to make dancers useful again.
Can't forget the obligatory jedi update in 23.
They need to come up with something to focus on that isn't a single profession for 24, like Loot, or junk dealers. It will probably be the spawning system.
To finish off the spawning system, publish 25 will be rebalancing all the planets.
So best bet you want to look at August for any Ranger ideas to start coming out, assuming they keep with their 2 week publish cycle like they wanted. If they don't get design documents out by the end of September then we won't see anything for the rest of the year because they'll be working on the next big expansion, capitol ships.
I'm rolling a D20 for the random generator
1) Planetary Revamp
2) Capital Ships
3) Smuggler Content
4) Entertainer Content
5) Ranger Stuff
6) BH Alterations
7) Jedi Alterations
8) FS Alterations
close BioEngine, but I think you may want to balance that D20 roll considering the whining of Jedi:
1) Useful, fun updates for all professions except Jedi
2-20) Appeasing the Jedi with a sycophantic update
Ok, maybe a little harsh, but I'm feeling mean tonight. No offence meant, treat it more as satire! Let's hope all the professions get some proper loving, and if us Rangers happen to get some soon, then I'll be a happy customer!
I think they make D1000's for that

Kinshi, you haven't been around long enough to remember the promises, obviously. There is a very old (and very abused) post from September 2003 telling us about our revamp, including several specifics....that never materialized. We, too, have been given statements from the Devs. Few have come to fruition. So there is much similarity between us and smuggler.
I guess I never considered those statements back then as promisies. Ive been playing SOE games a long time (EQ before SWG), and when I hear those things, I have learbed to view them as " this is what wed like to do" not "this is what we are going to do". In that light, Id say Smuggler's are pretty darn lucky to be getting anything at all.
In that you are right, we are similar to smuggler's and given what they have gotten for a 'revamp' thus far, Id say be afraid, be ver afraid. At this point id be happy to have them simply fix the trapping XP and leave us alone but even that seems to require a big effort.

In a related story, SOE expects to have the Ranger revamp done "soon" announces GreenMarine.

Wow you actually heard from GreenMarine
He was the one dev that I wanted to speak with at FF2 but his absence was quite noticable. Especially since at FF1 he was the ranger dev with some answers and comments. Instead we get DarthPlatypus and some guy with a gotee( I think Shug but im not sure) , niether of whom were involved with ranger at all.
Anyways I personally asked the dev with the gotee
"Since ranger's will be getting worked on after smugglers, has any work all ready started and if not do you have a estimated time frame as to when work will begin?"
The answer to both was that he wasn't aware of any work being done and that there was no timeframe set.......
Now I asked him this while we waited to be let in for dinner and he just might have been trying to brush me off but this exchange offset the news that we were on the drawing board
PS: While typing this I just realizedthe quoted postmight contain some sarcasm but I did ask this question and that is his response.

5 percent? To borrow a phrase, "I think you overestimate their chances."
heh as if i dont ask all the time. Ive barely seen a dev response since friday last week to anything. I have no idea when the revamp will be and the devs certainly dont tell us squat atm.
They have admitted that they have had severe comm problems because many of them have changed teams and moved to new offices but to be honest, comms should of improved by now. I will have to see what happens over the next week or so.
