This profession is seriously gimped, its not worth master scout/master ranger skill points. Thats 2/3rds of all skillpoints used up. Im dropping it.

Me too, wasted my time on it really. I'll keep Novice Scout just to be able to do a little harvesting and throw a basic camp up for when my bike dissapears from underneath me 5.5k away from the city on Lok....! Other than that the class is rather pointless.

Perhaps with Staff returning today (January 5th) we can get an update on the status of our Profession changes...which we so badly need.



Maybe?

Just an offical word on the Camo nerf that hit us between xmas and NYD would be appreciated. Bug with the game's aggro AI, or a real nerf?


I'm just waiting for the official word on Camo to keep or drop Ranger.

"it's been a long time coming."


And alas, that is still the truth.

after recently starting Ranger (couple of months) and reading the bug and wish lists compiled I was pleasantly surprised to read this respnse from the devs! Woohoo! lots of things fixed, new features to make us distinct from scouts, then I also read the date of the post


AUGUST!!! 5 months on and no real sige of anything! /conceal ...hmm yeah works well!


maybe in 5 months it may actually work!!


YPu long term rangers have done a great job producing some good lists of stuff for Ranger, its a pitty the devs can't commit to anything yet. With the new forum structure we can see that it doesnt even look like we are 'in concept' yet, let alone the months of development / testing / bug fixes that will be needed!


Imagin, using the tripwire on NPC's! Finally rangers could do something in the GCW!


please PELASE devs, keep us informed, even if it is to say 6months away, at least I can drop ranger then and come back when its less borked

Ranger isn't totaly useless. It is a Class that highly depends on what you want to do in the game and want out of the game. If you want to be a rescource gatherer, Ranger is the right way to go. If you want to track creatures/NPC's to gather XP for other professions there you go. But Alas conceal and the traps leave something to be desired. I anxously await the day Rangers get some attention from the devs, and even until then I will stay a Ranger because I take pride in producing fine Camps for my friend to rest in, I take pride in being able to track some of the more elusive creatures in the game, and I take pride in being able to supply the Holo Grinders of my guild a cheap scource of rescources. This is what I want to do in the game, this is what I want out of the game. Those of you who aren't happy with the way Ranger is right now and are dropping it until it gets fixed/upgraded I hope you find a purpose in this game that suits you all, for those of you who are keeping Ranger despite the bugs/nerfs, I tip my hat toyou. This is a vast game and in time it will improve, just have some patients, cause I know the Devs are working on it or will get around to working on it. Until that time I enjoy hunting for the rare pets for CH's such as myself ^_^.

Well spoken Sabrath. I also await the day when Rangers get there upgrade from the Devsand until then I will keep on trapping and exploring remote worlds. I just harvested 30k of some good avain meat within one day and with out the use of groups or buffs. Lets see any other career do that. "Tracking is worthless." "Ranger traps are not that good'. These are just some of the things i have read about and i disagree with them. Sure a speeder bike will get there faster but you might also blow right by a sweet spawning ground andnever know it. As for traps, it is cool being able to throw a sonic pulse trap and confuse two to three enemies at once. Besides there is also money to make in trapping dumb animals. Well that is all i have to say. It was nice seeing something postive about a great proffesion.

Last two post understands that being a ranger comes from the heart. I keep bouncing servers trying to find a home between Reb and Imps, well I just leave the war to them and become the best ranger on a server and get hired and sale ubber hides. Ubber, umm did I use that word? I m getting burn out from reading negative post. It's mind draining. Fact is I think I stop reading these boards for while. People will take your joy away if you allow them.



After two years gone I returned.

This is a profession of ideals, hopes, masochism and pessimism.


All ironically symbolizing the spirit of SWG Rangers. Correspondent feedback? We get plenty. Developer? We're up to 5 posts from Devs, right?

One other thing of great importance that should be added to that list of things that needs to be changed in Ranger is the amount of oragnic resources that can harvested off an animal. Currently Master Scouts are almost parrel to Master Rangers in terms of the amount of hide/bone/meat they can harvest in my opinion the amount that a ranger can harvest should be increased anywhere from 50-80% of what it is now. The reasoning behind this is simple - Master elite profession especially one so difficult as master ranger should be rewared somehow. This is just my opinion however, I could be wrong.
