Hoth, proposed to be a PVP only zone, was mentioned on the live broadcast and... oh, well you must knwo the story by now. Anyhoo, I am guessing the revamp will com ebefore that- so are we looking at stealth here? You can almost be certain that if they take the weather into effect they will just give BEs more clothes to make, but perhaps there will be snowstorms liek in Episode five? I remember Han putting up a shelter- ranger possibility there? Hm....

I am just really hoping for, assuming we dont getstealth('"gamebreaking"- ha, tell that to me now),some neato survival skills that will maybe allow us to stay out at night in our camps- while evryone else has a minute to get to safety before they are insta killed by the cold. Maybe we will be smart enough int he wild to survive the night without expensive rapid decay BE clothes (hey, good for everyone) and without camping or finding shelter, thus giving us the ability to scout out enemy positions.

And, assuming they keep it cannon and dont allow you to just pull out a bike and not have the hydrolics freeze up on you, TN will be usefull perhaps, assuming there are hills of snow there.

Of course, ice pit traps are amust- anyone see King Arthur?- and maybe a few other thigns for Kashyyyk PVP would be inplace. These woudl be the sort of thing where you set teh trap, sned a noob out as bait and then the enemy run over the trap andgets a few states applied to him, not just a killer damge thing (yeah,w ell we are supposed to be for PVE, dont push too much).

And finally, the big snowman. I can imagine him ripping into rebel and Imperial ranks alike, shredding them into pieces till the commando coems and melts him (hey they have flamethrowers you cant NOT give them that) or the ranger comes in, wrestles the critter by the horns, brings it to its knees and slits it viel throat (yum).

So- anyone else have any hope for this MAYBE planet? Any good ways to get the rangers involved in PVP

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.

You may have missed the first part...where it said that Rangers were coming in after Smugglers. Of course, seeing is believing....

d'oh. yeah, i missed that part.

so I'm glad that we've gotten closer...but I feel bad for Squad Leaders. I think recently, we've made a little more noise than they have (the whole issue with harvesting and the amazing amount of pro-ranger propaganda in the CURB Alpha forum) and that, sadly, has more to do with the "moving on up" that we're seeing.

i don't like looking a gift horse in the mouth, but if that horse just kicked my buddy in the jibblies, I'm gonna be a little wary of the horse regardless of what is or is not wrong with his mouth.

If I had my druthers, they'd wise up and realize that EVERY profession that comes from scout has major problems and worked on fixing scout from the ground up rather than splitting us up and doing the fixes piecemeal.

anyway, good catch on that tiny blurb about us. Since it said "smuggler" at the top of that paragraph, I kinda just skimmed over it. Proof positive that I'm not totally perfect...just darned close. But then again, I'm Bothan and we start closer to perfection than most of you.

What makes me sad is this part:

"the only mention of a fix to the imbalance of rifle, was blixtev mentioned that he could slow down the rate of fire of rifles. he said 'its' slow now but we can slow it down more' and smiled."

So Ranger/Rifleman will be even slower than now. I can understand that a combat stacker with more specials and stuff can be a problem, but a Ranger with just Master Rifleman will be at a disadvantage when they slow down rifle more

. In a group you can be in a situation where it is hard to get more than one hit before the mob is dead

. Are you still getting EXP in this case?

Anyway what ever will be will be

.

I don't feel too bad for SL coming after us, because they A: class weapons, B: have defense mods, C: havespecialsand D: actually offer something to a group that a Novice Scout can't.

With Squad Leader coming after us that just means to me they are going to make some changes to Scout as well. Gotta fix the novice professions before you can alter the elite ones connected to it.

Slowing down rate of fire was a misquote. The devs later stated slowing down movement for riflemen might be the answer.
