Hello Rangers. Out of the ten or so professions that I have mastered in more than two years I've been playing SWG I'm sorry to say I have never mastered your lovely profession. Just so everyone knows where I'm comming from my main character has been a Bounty Hunter of some form since November of '03. Although there is a lot of animosity towards bounty hunters now days from other professions due mostly to the new npc bounty missions and loots there has been a long time in which the Bounty Hunter profession was looked at as somewhat of a joke. By no means am I looking for your pity! My point is that from launch of SWG until the CU my profession had been nerfed to the point there was no reason other than role playing for anyone to even be a Master Bounty Hunter. Anyway (you will see where im going with this) back a little over a year ago when my profession was at its lowest IMO we still needed Master Scout as a prerequisite. On the Bounty Hunter forums this was a complaint by many hunters seeing as Bounty Hunter as a profession didn't use traps, camps, or kill creatures which as you all know is three whole branches of Scout. Back then I personaly wanted to keep the Master Scout prerequisite but wanted player traps and some sort of "live bounty cage/camp" added to the BH profession. Those to me are vital tools to bounty hunting in the Star Wars Galaxy.
The other day I was trolling through some forums I read about the new Ranger Revamp. To be honest I haven't been this excited about SWG in a long time. I have found myself trolling your forums quite a bit the past few days as I am looking forward to finding out some more spacifics into the Revamp. Contrary to what what other professions (Commando, Smuggler) may be saying as a BH I am truly excited and happy for you all (even though I'm still a little envious that you are getting some stuff I would have originally liked BH to get). Depending on how your new Revamp looks as far as pve fighting I have to say that you may have a new Ranger in town. You all are very deserving of the Revamp and IMO you should all bow to your corraspondant for a job well done! I hope I haven't offended any of you and am looking forward to talking to you all in the future.

*shrug*
LOL, everyone wants an adaptive camoflage system. I would have rather seen BH get Force Mitigation, Armor that Resists energy and elemental damage, and /areatrack for NPC's and Players ("man hunting" as its calledis a BH skill if you ask me).I could go on and on about changes that would make the BH vs Jedi system alot more fun, butI wont bother. Its already been taked to death on thoes forums and the creativity is lacking. Its seems to be a lot of the same thing. Jedi want Perls and crystals, BH want a way around Jedi powers and they want the saber nerfed out of all usefullness. I do realize that Real BH and Real Jedi dont think like this, butwe wont bother continueing this pointless arguement.
It looks to me likeRanger isgoing in the direction of Smuggler vs Ranger. If thats true then this will give smugglers a way to smuggle. It helpshaving someone try to stop you from smuggling helpslol.
In the long runI hope this all works out. I think it will.....
