I was going to see if we could do it in one really really long runon sentence. Would that count?

If you use semicolons; it is technically and gramatically the same sentence.

Just a suggestion...




all critters...including Human, zabrak, twi'lek and definately Bothan, Wookies, Trandoshan, Mon Calamari and Rodian (if they are not critters I don't know what is)

Rangersdesire to become more than simply "super-scouts"and, as such, we are looking to have increased functionality in both the PvP and PvE arenas; they desire to have Ranger-specific weapons, specials, and are particularly interested in having increased defence and offence against creatures while notbeing delegated to an entirelyPvE role.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

Rangercombat needsincreased damage & defencevs non-sentientcreatures to be a more effictive creature hunter/harvester then a master combat stacker with just novice scout.

Yep: said my peace. The "Boycott JTL till they do CB" crowd has already hijacked the thread, however.

Are they trying to get forum ranger xp?



On a more serious note my post there was of the "fix everything that's been broken in the non jedi professions before you add any more code" persuasion. It was one sentence, and had to do with combat.

Wouldn't this require a revamp and not a "quick fix"? Seems to me we need to stick tothings already in the game such as to-hit mods and toughness mods. Increasing our to-hit, damage and defencewould take some tweaking to existing mods in the game, creature to-hit, unarmed damage and unarmed toughness to name a few. Seems like this would take much less code and dev time.


On another note, thank you for joining in; I like the the rest of it a lot

Rangersdesire to become more than simply skill pointdeficient "super-scouts"and, as such, we are looking to have increased functionality in both the PvP and PvE arenas;we are particularly interested in having increased defence and offence combat capabilities against creatures while notbeing delegated to an entirelyPvE role;many rangersbelieve this can be accomplished within the current state ofcombat by using existingstat mods already in the game such as Creature to-hit, damage stat mods and toughness.

Give rangers some kind of weapon tree because trapping sucks. Its more like nade throwing imo. How about rifles?

In response to TH's thread asking for "One Sentence" solutions for current combat problems I figured we could come up with a unified statement and each and everyone of us post it in the thread. I've read through 18 pages so far and no Rangers have spoke up yet. So, how can we condense ourideas into one easy to read and well worded sentence, and what does it need to cover?


  • Creature to-hit mod

  • Creature damage mod

  • Creature toughness

Example:


"Rangers would like to see their combat effeciency vs. creature increased with creature-cetric skill mods and defenses so a Master Ranger/Master Elite profession is a more effective hunter then a Novice Scout/Master Combat Stacker"







Ranger Terrain negotiation needs to be for running/walking, NOT crawling.
