Ranger Archive

There is some information in this post by Q-3PO: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Developers&message.id=2

Also, the test center is down fora large patch today, with the notes coming up later. While this might not necessarily be the big update, there seems to be a "feeling."

Based on Q's post, I would say it is coming.. and it won't be months. However, I'm not expecting too much for Rangers in this post. That is certainly just my opinion, but they did a lot of work to us on the last publish. I'm hoping they put some good changes in for classes just as neglected.

N'Raas probably has a much better idea.

"N'Raas probably has a much better idea."

Well the developers haven't told the Correspondents any particular date... And I doubt they would (with their policy of no firm ETAs in place).

However...

They are consistent in releasing the largepatches to Test Center two weeks before releasing to Live.

So if Vass's post is indeed the next big patch, we have two weeks until it is released.

we have two weeks until it is released

The post he put up yesterday said 'this week or next week' to Test Server, then two weeks on Test Server.

And predicated on how fast they got conceal to work, another two to three weeks before the new content actually works (assuming it's useful).

I think I just set a record for the shortest time spent as a Master Ranger! Four hours and eighteen minutes! Can anyone beat that?

I'm gonna crawl over to the Creature Handler forum really really fast!

Well they brought down Test Center an hour ago or so for a big update said it would be down for a few hours and patch notes will be posted shortly. So if this is the big patch Q was refering to I would expect to go live sometime during the 1st week of October.

I also forgot that everyone in that thread was asking about creature mounts and Player cities being in the patch. Vass replied by saying I will confirm now that mounts are not in this update. He didn't mention Player Cities so maybe they are going in on this patch.

That makes sense, considering the dev chat slated for tomorrow (I think, I get dates muddled) on player cities.

Before I forget, congrats, short-lived or otherwise, on Master Ranger jmatt.

I made Master Ranger last night and I'm trying to figure out if I should immediately drop 3 of the 4 Ranger trees for skills that are actually useful, or if I should stick around for the patch to see if they have something more exciting in store for us than simply making the pointless conceal ability work.

I'll wait a week or two, maybe, but I don't have another two and a half months of this nonsense left in me. When I first started pursuing the Master Ranger title, I figured it would be a matter of weeks until they had the profession fleshed out. I didn't realize I was paying $15 bucks a month to do Quality Assurance for Sony and Lucas.

And I hope to God, that whenever it arrives, it has something more frigging exciting than fixed camo kits (which nobody needs) and tents with fancier geegaws.

So do we have some kind of timeframe? Or is it like everything else in this game, completely undocumented and predicated onstaff vacation schedules?
