So, there I was just wandering about Tatooine looking for interesting landmarks not on the map when I get a tell. Seems like there is a group looking to cull the squill population and would like a ranger along. So, I go meet with them and jump in the group. The fact that the three others in the group were holding flame throwers should have told me what I was in for.

Since we are getting CL80 missions from a player city terminal, I slap some camo on everyone. Apparently I did not describe what it does well enough. These commandos thought it was some magic formula that would prevent a squill from attacking you even though you were trying to set it on fire and blow up its lair. Much mayhem ensued. Through the liberal use of P-Darts and my pistoleer skills, I managed to keep most of the marauding squills slowed or rooted. The fight ended with 3 traps remaining in my trap droid and me with 2 traps remaining. What is the first thing I hear after the fight?

"Dude, camo sucks!"

Being used to having aspersions cast upon me for being a "Useless Ranger" I apologize and explain what camo can and can't do. I don't mind so much seeing as I am getting a butt ton of decent resources from these squills and off we go to the next lair.

After the third lair, I do a track and casually mention there are two krayts about 400m to the south. Off we go to take them down. Both are hovering near their lair and not wandering apart so I volunteer to get my camo on, go down to the krayts and try to coax one far enough away so the other does not aggro as well.

Just to show off, I /pet and /hug a krayt to prove a point that camo works when you are not attacking something. Apaprently that was a signal to one of the commandos that the krayts were bugged and BOOM off goes a proton grenade. I debate going dart and root crazy for about half a second since that is about how long it took for the flame throwers and rocket launchers to start and the krayts to turn towards the commandos. After the dragons left three commando shaped smears in the desert and the commandos cloned 4Km away, I decided to leave the group and go back to my wandering around.

A few moments later I get a tell asking why the the dragons did not attack me.

"5000 krayt faction" is my reply. They would not have understood camo since, as they said earlier, it sucks.

Yes mate, we even have Rangers who don't know camo works well. Good story brought tears of laughter to my old eyes.

I use it to my advantage. A favorite past time is to turn off the master ranger title and bet people I can walk up to a nightsister unarmed and unarmored, give her a kiss and not have her attack me. Of course, I don't tell anyone that the pants shirt and duster I am wearing are each +15 camo/maskscent.

The fun part comes when I look to the person I have the bet withand say "Okay, your turn."

keep one thing in mind. if you've got +5000 NS faction than you can do that as well.

but i can't go near a Singing Mountain Clan without camo.

I liked that story. I remember once, guys watching me solo a krayt. I usually wander about with no title up.

I was using a T21 rifle, and one asks me. " which rifleman skills do you use to get him?" I did answer..I just put on my Master Ranger title. ""read my title ".....got on my swoop and took off.

heh. I do love when people don't understand how a skill works and instantly proclaims that it doesn't work when they doing something wrong. Reminds of my mother (poor lady doesn't mesh too well with electronics) complaining to me that her new computer doesn't work at all...and me going to work on it to discover that a)she failed to plug in the monitor b) she failed to attach the keyboard and mouse and c) (best part) the surge protector to which she had connected her compuer was in the "off" position. She had been on the phone with customer service for the better part of an hour...man, I feel for those guys.

All in all, good story. Though I would have let them clone and come back and tell them to kill Banthas until they had +5000 Krayt faction too whilst I solo'd them one at a time.

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.

Maybe you can make them beleive that if you get Krayt Dragon faction they will grant them a quest LOL :-)

Sounds like a real 'Leeroy Jenkins' type there.

Lol, im glad I'm not the only one to have said that to someone. NowI dont feel so bad about jerking the N00b'$ around.

As for me, useing the Krayt Graveyard as my personal petting zoo is my favorite thing to do. I find it rather relaxing having the Krayts around and watching the jeeteye get cloned.
