First of all, ranger got no nerfs. Everyone had novice scout for camps, you dont need high tech field base kits to call your little bike. Its not a nerf, but its one less reason to dabble, and if youre going to dabble, you might as well get 4040 scout, or at least 0040 scout, and harvest. Now, those newbs are gone and we can continue business, and have less competition.

NOW on to the real part... Every profession unites together to ask for something they need, and usually gets it. Rifleman is now uber, wookies are getting armor, and BH can now hunt Jedi.

So can we scrap the rediculous ideas I have heard like Force powers, or a 3rd profession above ranger, and that sort of stuff? and Unite under the issues we agree on, as posted in the sticky section? If we could, I am positive we can get something done, as has every profession. They have done the combat revamp for the most part, so I think this time is freed up for more random patches...

With some well placed posts here and in general (assuming they get some attention and stay towards the first page so the devs actually notice), we should be able to become more useful than Master-Master-UberScout.

We should probably move that list of things we would like done, to a post on general. I believe that would be a good start

Please input your ideas of how we could get something done.

Wookiee profession?!?!?! Anyway, we already united under a common banner...the Ourdoorsman. We may want to revise that, but a lot of the ground work has already been done for what you request (I thnk you are dead on, we need to unite). I think the SotP is a little out of control. We may want to whittle it down a bit as well? We need to get a correspondent first, however. We can post all we want, but if the devs see the posts, then we are wasting our time.

Well I have read the Outdoorsman, I dunno if you should speak for all Rangers like that by saying "we are all united". Some of us are not to fond of alot of the things in the outdoorsman.

Just nit picking, I am not "united" under the outdoorsman becuase it is a large sweeping change that IMHO the Dev's will never give us. Hell they can't give us little things, thaey aren't going to revamp the entire profession.

I am more interested in some baby step fixes for now, at least let the Dev's show us their ears still work.

Gang,

The combat revamp isn't even close to starting.

The droid revamp is still on-going. The combat revamp is upcoming, as well as the new Jedi questing system.

I understand that we need to get some stuff in for us, and I'm working on it.

B

Right.

With Delta's help, I would like to see a perk thrown in among the patches...baby steps...before we get our big love.

I for one will not start complaining about skills and upgrades, that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. However, I will be among those of you who will stand in line to support our future correspondent and make sure our voices get heard.

If we wait until everyone agrees completely, we will never get anywhere. Most of the profession agreed to and gave input on the Outdoorsman concept, that is why I said what I did. If it is no longer supported, we need to drop it and come up with a new plan.

then yeah, we need to narrow it down. too many people ask for insane stuff, like FORCE POWERS...

and there are way too many things in outdoorsman, we need to focus on something in particular. the devs might throw in a thing here or there in one of the patches for us, but they arent going to have a "ranger Revamp" any time soon.

I think we have a better chance if we cut out the BS and insane ideas that would totally alter everything in the game, and focus on something less darastic, maybe we can get something small. Camp usefulness maybe, focus on JUST that, and maybe someday we will get that done. but all of outdoorsman would take all their resources for months. They wont have any part of it.

I may have missed it, but I've never seen a ranger request force powers. I think of the outdoorsman proposal as a wish list and not a demand. There are a lot of good ideas there for the devs to peruse. I think the only reason it got so big was the fact that we haven't had any dev attention in a long time. Anytime you leave anything to fester, it will get worse. I agree that some baby steps would go a long way. Other professions seem to be getting a few bones thrown their way, so it's not unreasonable to expect the same for us. In fact, just a little communication from the devs would be great. I think we need to balance our wish list with realistic goals, which can only be done working hand in hand with the devs and our future correspondent.

Perhaps you should read up on the Antarian Rangers. Some of them did possess minor force powers.

and there are way too many things in outdoorsman, we need to focus on something in particular. the devs might throw in a thing here or there in one of the patches for us, but they arent going to have a "ranger Revamp" any time soon.

Don't assume that the devs haven't already planned something for us. Wait till we hear something a little more concrete.

Some people may like those ideas.that would totally alter everything in the game, and focus on something less darastic, maybe we can get something small.

Again, that is a pretty big assumption. Let the devs speak for themselves. They may have a lot of the work done to implement the Outdoorsman. We just don't know. Once we have a correspondant again, hopefully we can get some answers.

Look, if there's some things we can all agree about, which are NOT major fixes, I'm sure it be:

Triple+ bonuses to harvests for rangers (possibly even the addition that scouts can't harvest meat)

Terrain Navigation modified so scouts can actually run faster, and rangers can really fun faster

Camps made useful so they're worth putting up

Traps to attack humanoid NPC's to make faction missions more interesting for rangers.

Master ranger recieves HUGE bonuses to all the above, to set us further apart from the dabblers

These simple5 things, over5 different small patches, would, I feel, take the ranger from angry/discontented to, at the very least, content. I don't speak for all the rangers (hell, I'm not even a ranger yet), but anything we can do to push us away from being Scout II is good.

I gotta say, I hate when people sit and bash others idea's. I thought Rey's idea was a great one, and that you make yourself look like the ass you are when you bash it.

However, I do agree that we band togeather, that does not mean there is no room for new idea's. How do you think that outdoorsman proposal came about? By people posting about their ideas.

As for the wookies, they had to cram a server so full of wookies that the server actually shut down to get their attention.

And traps traps traps traps....

new traps please, not just 2
