Thread: Ranger has officially gotten a bandwagon
"WTH? Tehy can't do this to us! I paid my dues! I've been a ranger for 3 weeks! Stoopid devs! Give me back my p-darts or I'm cancelling!"
But if it does, I'll just do what I did in the other forums, hit my back button as soon as I seen it.

Rumour of the day: The CU and this 'simplification' of combat is all prepping the game for going to the next gen consoles
This rumour has been incredible abundent in recent months though heh and to be honest, i wouldnt put it past SOE, not the devs themselves as they are only following orders but the managment and suits.
Sony has a new CEO, and his whole mission is to make EVERYTHING revolve around their new cell technology.
CEO of Sony talks about Playstation 3 CELL technology ( PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360 )
28 | Jun
Sony's new CEO Howard Stringer explained that Sony will cut back on some of its research and development programs in an effort to put more focus on products that the company believes will allow it dominate once again. He emphasized two items that will likely be central to Sony's business for many years to come: the Cell processor, which will be used not only to power the PlayStation 3 but also many of Sony's electronics, and the much ballyhooed Blu-ray disc, which will be the standard hi-def format for the PS3 and the format that Sony hopes eventually replaces DVD in the marketplace.
"PlayStation is the largest chip eater. Leveraging game applications, we've got the most advanced [Cell] technology, which will give us high competitiveness. The next step is determining what applications we can develop on the Cell processor, for which we are launching a project," said Sony president Ryoji Chubachi

I feel bad because I was always a Ranger, and a few weeks ago I dropped it in favor of better combat abilities, but now I miss it very much, but I don't want to use my token to get it back, yet anyway.
Shh, do not speak...
I was a Ranger and during the free respec period changed into a Shipwright. I really enjoy it. But what I really enjoy is hunting down the resources on Lok and Rori and Yarvin 4 and other planets.
Also, milk harvesting on Lok is fun. So, now I'm thinking of using my Token Respec' to get 3x4x ranger (Think I like the extra harvesting rather than the two camo kits). I really enjoy going where other level 11's (I think that is my combat level) cannotgo.
So, I am going to use my transfer and jump back on the bus. I have no desire to solo anything. I don't even have novice marksman.
I don't really understand the draw to the combat part of the game. You get a mission to kill this thing or that thing and do it all again. But I love going out and looking for rare resources and sneaking up to my harvesters to operate them. I sometimes find that I am holding my breath.
So, with tracking to hunt down those fat milk cows on Lok, and conceal to mask scent and harvest, I will enjoy being a Surveyor / Miner.
Pop tarts are a tranquilizer, and should provide a +snare+
Ad mesh should stop it in it's tracks and provide a +root+
Grinded Scout Pre-CU
Grinded Ranger 4441 Pre-CU. Yes, I camped and fished for wilderness XP. Fun? No.
Before the CU went live, i did not have the "1" trained up. Was totallyrear-ended by the CU since i didn't take my training before it hit, went from 100% xp required to <10% xp required for Ranger Trapping Box 1.
Bit the bullet and respec'd into Trapping (only 1 respec after CU). It was ridiculous how hard it was to get Trapping XP after the CU. Now, I figured it out...and it really isn't that hard. But when you think about how much resources + combat time + crafting time it takes to make a trap...then use the trap with only marginal success, it still is not right.
Used the Token Respec to go from Master Carbines to Master Bounty Hunter + Master Ranger. Fun? YES. Killed my first jedi the other day. Fun? YES.
Long story short, Master Ranger + Master Bounty Hunter is viable. Slow, Not Very Accurate, but still doable.
At this point, I think the most important thing they could do for Rangers is increase Defense and Accuracy only at the Master Ranger Level (like +50 each). The rest of the profession is somewhat broke, but still playable. The Devs just need to make all the skill points that we spend, more worthwhile.
Dear Slingblade77
Welcome to the ranks of Ranger. Though you probably have alot to learn about the ends and the outs of the profession.....it sounds like your 'accident' has unlocked a potential you never knew you had.... Welcome my brother (or sister) Ranger.
I started this post to talk about the influx of FOTM respecs..... doesnt sounds like that is you.

I agree with you about our prof being broken. I agree that we need something worth all these skill points it takes...
Though I am wondering what your post has to do with the topic of this thread?

i am not grateful.....the last thing we need before (maybe anyway) we get a major revamp is for newbs to respec to ranger hoping to solo ancients only to find that our poptarts get fixed and they whine and cry.....This could hurt our prof (the newbs, not the poptarts getting fixed).... What happens when we have doubled the amount of rangers on the servers.....here is a clue....samething happened to bounty hunter....they were feared.....now they are ridiculed,,,,(u might be a respec BH if)///......I am sorry to sound elitist....but we are..... and what makes us that way, is the long grind to Master Ranger. We have to know all this crap....trapping, harvesting, etc.....Respecs will only hurt us I think.
LOL, the only ones who flame BH for respec are jedi. As if NO JEDI RESPECCED AS WELL?, / jedi hypocrites
As for being "Feared", I assume you are talking the MASTER Bounty Hunter title?, prior to respec which means pre CU? The Master Bounty Hunter title was a joke pre CU. All Jedi in our PA laughed and hoped for a Master BH coming their way.
