Ranger Archive

Do you all realize something? I love being a Ranger, and consider this tidbit....

1. A reason for CU is that SWG went to God Characters pretty much after being a very difficult combat system in the first place. This type of play now fits all those people out there that love cheat codes on other games. Since when should anyone be able to walk up to a Rancor and take it down in 10 secs or less?

2. Rangers are "GENERALLY" ranged combat assisted... Meaning your a rifleman etc.... How many Rangers/Hunters do you all know that take a knife or use martial arts to bring down a bear, deer, elk or anything like that? Granted maybe somewhere there are a few that can do it and maybe do, but 99.99999 (you get the picture) are using guns or bows and they are not whering suits of armor. If any of you have been into fantasy books/games what do rangers or hunters usually wear? Leather or some other type of really light armor, non metal mostly. This is how we are able to move quickly and quietly, and not to many look like he-man either. We are like thieves in a forest, sneak up kill quick and take what we can and go. Lets give it a shot. Never know how its going to be/feel till we are in the thick of it and have actually got to know the system. A game is supposed to be a challenge and using your brain to think of ways to do things effectively.

I'm not saying that what happens is going to be exactly what everyone wants or likes, but try it out and then if there are problems see if everyone else if having those probs and if so then go to the devs and explain it. The Devs know that each time there is a major change there is going to be alot of yelling and therefore will ignore most things till people actually try things out and can come to them and tell them with experiance that this is a prob and what their ideas might be for fixing it. The CU is a result of players complaining about the current system and the devs trying to work with their ideas to make it better. Yes, Rangers have had probs but compared to Rifleman, Swordsman, Jedi, Docs, etc their are few of us Rangers to cry out that loud. We'll get our chance, its coming, I have issues I'd like fixed also, but as a true Ranger should be and is.... I'm patient, waiting for the perfect shot.

You may see this in the one about us getting armor, but I wanted it to be seen by more so I made a new thread with it...
