If the poster is a member of the Rifleman Alpha test team, then he is well on his way to being banned for violating the NDA.

If he is not, he is talking out his azz.

I am a member of the Scout Alpha test team, the Monkey Makers. I am not saying what the poster said was right/wrong/indifferent - just that he is speaking of things he has no knowledge of.

Quit worrying. Ranger is not being touched by the CU. Of course our combat professions are, but not Ranger.

i'm not sure which poster your refering to, i guess that one saying what was happening to rifleman's mods, i don't know who he is.....

i'm not worried about Ranger, directly, i'm worried that whatever combat profession we chose/keep, is not going to be enough to allow us to solo hunt effeciently.

I"m glad we'll have to group for high end content, I don't want to be forced to group just to collect good carnivore meat on rori! I don't belong to a huge guild, nor do i really want to, and i don't have a long list of active people i'd actually call friends. I like how i play, and i'm sure(from what i've read here) that plenty of other rangers like playing independently most of the time. I realize we don't know a lot of what's going to happen, but the more i do hear, even if it is speculation, the more i don't like it. and now i'd almost wish they hadn't ever said a damn thing until alpha testing was completed!!!

if they were going to say something so early, i think they should have said more. and we wouldn't have all this crap floatingn around the forums. and some people are saying it's still 6 months away!! if it's that long away i think they would have served the greater community better by keeping their mouths shut until maybe 2 or 3 months away.

I dont' know why i'm soo worried and concerned today, but i'm sure i'll get over it. but, since i'm in this mood, i wouldn't mind some answers, and maybe a hug....

Wasnt it already said by the devs that only combat professions were getting tweaked? And since ranger is a support class, we arent being touched.

We're untouched directly, but by changing combat, it changes us. We're one of the few classes who can't pick up secondary combat skills of any worth, with Doctors and Combat Medics being the only other ones I can think of. Since our livlihoods rely on combat, we're the most directly affected. Slower combat = slower income. If solo combat = a lot slower than grouped combat = the solo Ranger being further penalized. (I really hate that we've always been penalized for choosing to group or not group. No one should face that. I don't have anyone to group with.)

Trickle down effect.

*Turns and glares at agent156*

Be careful there--several of the alpha team are Bothans.
