Thread: Pub 20 = No Ranger Love

I'd settle for a DEV posting on our Forum that went something like this:


Rangers: We understand there are issues with your profession. We like the ideas you bring to the table and are looking into how they can be implemented. Please communicate a top 5 ISSUES / BUG list that you want fixed pertaining to your current specials and skills, and we'll prioritize those for tentative release over the next 5 publishes. This should be communicated by one of the Correspondents in the next 10 days. At this time we aren't able to allocate resources for a REVAMP, but we remain committed to fixing the current bugs so that the RANGER PROFESSION WORKS AS INTENDED.


Now, let me pull out my crack pipe so I can imagine this is really going to happen.

They have only fixed the faults on Ranger Prof. when it has absolutly been unavoidable. Game breaking bugs.
Now they've fixed us good...we are arguing and fightng amongst ourselves.








Being polite ensured that Master Rangers weren't outharvested by a lower tier ranger in a group. Flamming got us zero changes.


But that's not even the real point. IEven if you say that neither has gotten us anywhere (a perfectly logical claim) then being polite is the better choice. Going back to theanalogy of being stuck in traffic-if you're not going to go anywhere for a while, you might as well relax and listen to tunes rather than sit in the car honking your horn.Until the devs decide to work on us, we're not goinganywhere. You can choose to be angry about it, and I understand that entirely. But again...you with your anger andsomebody else with their patience will get the exact same amount of changes. Might as well be relaxed, I think.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

Manners and being polite only go so far for me.


When I"m ignored, pushed aside, overlooked. I stop being polite, I dont' become even "more polite"

you know what? So would Smugglers, Armorsmiths, Weaponsmiths, Dancers, Musicians, Commandos, Creature Handlers, Squad Leaders, Droid Engineers, Bio-Engineers, Tailors, etc.


We're not the only ones waiting. All of the professions I listed need help in one way or another.

Well, that's up to you. But not being polite won't get you anywhere either. So...why bother letting them get to you?

By the way, I'm a reasonable human being and a former officer in the military. If I kept my troops in the dark, I would have had a mutiny on my hands as well. Even the lowest private needs to know the plan.


Stonewalled Silence from SOE is the root cause of my irritation. Communication MUST be a two way street, and IF SOE would communicate with us, the customer, they would certainly maintain a larger player base.

I wonder how long it took to develop the "original SWG" ?

I bet it was less than 2 years?

Wonder why they can't revamp a few professions in that time?

Exactly. If you let them get you all upset, they win.

And like he said, why blow a fuse over something you can't change anyway?

In two years they've revamped SEVERAL professions, released two expansions and entirely changed their combat system.


You guys are way to negative. SOE is a business, and where they prioritize their time is based on income. Do you really believe a Ranger revamp will draw new players to the game? Will people stream over from WoW and EQ2 just to be a Ranger? No, Jedi and BH are the drawing factors right now, so it's logical they get first priority.


anyway, if you want to be angry, feel free to be. But please, don't ruin this forum with it, okay? Don't try to incite anger among others. It's really bad for other people to come in and see this. This is exactly the kind of stuff that makes people not want to read the Jedi forums, believing that somehow we should be the top priority, and being angry when that doesn't happen. I'm done here. You two want to be upset, it's cool, but I'm not going to keep trying to cheer you up when all you're doing is complaining about something that nobody can change.

Also being reasonable and Calm got us our health bonus when the CURB came out, and more importantly got the devs to see us as a combat profession (i think that is more important because it sets us up for possible future improvements)... I doubt it would have come to that had Owen, JB and Company just complained/flamed the devs
