Thread: PLEASE don't take out foraging & fishing
Moonkat wrote:I guess I don't understand why when they supposedly aren't working on making anything new for the game so they can't make Smugglers smuggle, they're going through doing something entirely different to foraging which really isn't broken. By now, though, it all just looks like truth and lies all jumbled up - you just don't know which is which until more time has gone by. I'm not sure how Tiggs is able to look herself in the mirror as much as she lies to us, whether she has to in order to keep her job or not.
Uhm, Tiggs is on a leave of absence atm, has been for some time, and is apparently now ill. source
The biggest problem (when the devs post that something is to change) seems to be that people either read the devs post and see what they think they want to see, then get po'd when thats not what turns up, or, they don't read the dev post but read something in a forum where somebody is replying to a half understood rumour which in itself has no foundation in anything the devs have actually said.
The devs are removing foraging. It was a minor skill with limited use that no longer fits into their vision for their game. We will still be able to get bait, onions, alu peth or whatever those corn on the cob stuff is called from lairs and NPC's.

Here's my beef, the In-Concept Thread by Thunderheart states foraging is going away becuase it no longer suits a purpose.
However, Helios_SOE confirmed in apost the other day what Scout would be losing.As I quote
Scout
- Question: What is Scout loosing?
- Answer: At this time it seems Terrain Negotiation.The devs stated that Terrain Negotiation would be distributed throughout Ranger suggesting that all other parties involved could see this being removed, most notably, Scout. This is not confirmed ofcourse but just initial impressions. Apart from TN, nothing else it seems and gaining the offcastsfrom Ranger. Camps, Traps, Mask Scent and Harvesting Mods are all accounted for.
Which one is right? Another communication problem.
I understand why some peopled get PO'd becuase they don't have the time or desire to read multiple forum posts forever and a day tothen post questions to just to find a simple answer.
And now I have discovered another Thread from Vorpaks http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=scout&message.id=25264
dated 2 days laterstating TN will not beremoved from Scout....

Man scout used to be the most useful profession in the game. Now it seems like the most worthless. Shame too.
Why it became that way is due ta all the whinin' of fellas who wanted their POIs given to 'em on startup. Wanted ta get there quick-like. Wanted ta have no wounds or nothin' ta heal. Wanted ta call all their crap like droids and bikes whenever it suited 'em. Wanted ta harvest stacks n stacks of wooly and stuff and still pwn all. Wanted ta craft uberpetstims without havin' ta fish for it.
I feel for ya all. Ya used to be real important to the runnin' of the game. Hope this all comes back but I reckon it ain't. Too many fellas want their lvl 80 uberstaka ta do it all.
