It's an elite class. I am thinking beyond Master Ranger. Any input is welcome here guys so long as it is constructive. Be as creative as you want.

AD&D 3rd addition player, eh?

I'd also like to add...

Perhaps if they are extending the professions out in the SE (Space Ranger? We get a cool jet pack?) but I don't see them even considering this for a long, long time. I would like to see things in SW:G that have been hitherto engored like Antarian Rangers, very much so in fact, but there are many, many things they did not put into this game that you would think should be.

*sigh* Well, let me explain the intent then, since no one can seem to simply have fun and use their imaginations and envision where you might go after Master Ranger. Basically, there are no skill point expenditures. This is how I envision it. Once we get to Master Ranger where do we go? Nowhere. We have a lot of skill points that just sit there with nothing to do with them. I want to put them to use.

Step 1. You get Master Ranger.

Step 2. You max out all the Scouting, Trapping, and Frontiering XP. I see this as a way to ensure that you stick with the profession for a little bit.

Step 3. After having maxxed out all your XP, a message is sent to you in game from various NPC's. Those individual NPC's would all be Masters of the Prestige Class you are about to learn about. For example, you are sent a message from a group of Antarian Rangers in hiding and you journey to that NPC to start taking missions from him to earn Prestige points which allow you to advance in your chosen class.

Step 4. You begin your quests to becoming a Master Ranger specializing in the Antarian Ranger/Combat Ranger/Outdoorsman way of life. You can only take x number of missions per day to prevent grinding. Once you start up one tree, you cannot embark on a new path until you drop the one you are currently training in.

Step 5. You attain the title of Antarian Ranger/Combat Ranger/Outdoorsman after having earned enough Prestige points and completing all the appropriate quests. Each Prestige class would have enhancements to each individual class, thus making us all a little bit more unique. Each Prestige Class is composed of a single skill tree. For example....

I hope this clears up any confusion. I merely want to see where you guys would see a master ranger going after becoming a master. What would he/she do to become more unique?

hmmm...

well first just because somebody dissagrees with something and writes that in a post doesnt mean that that person hasnt throughly thought the matter over. They just dissagree


second i too dissagree one thing i find people tend to do is think soley about their profession and how their one profession can be everything they dreamed. This can, in many cases, be a good thing. If a prof is sverly nrefed or has bugs those issues should be addressed and fixed and the prof. should be improved. That is how mmos work things get balanced . But if we suddenly think that rangers "deserve" enrichment and we get our way after days of complaining that makes rangers more powerfull than other profs. How do you think chefs would feel about the rangers getting prestiege classes.

Now you may be saying well thats their buisness to figure out, their the chefs, where the rangers. and i a gree with you, but thir not the ones asking for this change and what if some proffesions have no where to go after you master? then its an all out nerf war

and nobody wants that, do they?
