• Question: Where is camping going?


• Answer: Camping seems to have left us as there has been no notable points in the revamp doc plus the tiers dont seem to support it. Where are camps will go remains a mystery, but possibly if the devs do decide to move camps they will go to SL (rally points, group support etc) or Scout.

If you guys are having problems realizing what good camps can provide, I know it has been posted many times in the ranger forums. But heres a couple ideas that could make Camps a "NEED" and a "WANT" to have by both Rangers as well as Groups.

We will need to experiment and customize our traps. I assume at this point, we will need a crafting station. That makes the HTFB that much more valuable. Sure, you can get a droid with the crafting mod, but I would still use my own HTFB.

i think these are great ideas...

the only thing i would critique would be the jukebox idea.. if camps were to provide a buff for entertainers, make it so that the xp gained while getting a buff in a cantina 10% and in a camp, it would be 9%or something like that (its not a completely thought out idea) but that would provide an incentive for entertainers to be out in groups with people as well.

Well currently, the entertainers are buffing for close to Three (3) Hours, so having a jukebox in a HTFB that is providing 30-45 minute buff should be sufficient enough to hold over a Ranger, or small party from having to leave such places as Dathmir to fly all the way to another planet, find and entertainer, get a buff, then fly all the way back to Dathmir, then drive all the way out to wherever your party is to rejoin them.

If Rangers are truely supposed to be self-sufficient, they ought to be able to forage for buffs that are worth more then they currently are, heal their own wounds in a camp over time, recieve small entertainer buff in their camp for a shortened period of time, Experimenting with their own traps on their crafting stations. Hey we can even throw in a small factory into the HTFB kit, to produce a crate or two of traps while were out in the field, but make it so that the HTFB takes up one Lot or something,

But regardless, I think that the High Tech Camps should remain in Ranger skills.
