Thread: Camps will no longer be required to pull vehicles/mounts/droids as of Mid-Mar Patch (7)
Just to make a very clear and valid point here...
I heard someone say that scout/ranger lines look like tree filling.. They are , ive been a scout/marksman/ranger/bh/ch now for a while and have always worked towards it.. Do you know why ? Well I will tell you.
Scout
--------
I wanted the terrain negotiation and burst run efficiency , and the hunting skills for the organics drops. The survival and trap trees were grind to me , nothing more. I never use these scouting lines now I am a ranger as they are pretty much useless.. The hunting and exploration are what counted to me here. Mask scent and forage are a joke , i use forage while I wait for shuttle and usually get the bug " Inventory full item discarded " as I have become that good at foraging for some reason the dame game thinks I am carrying too much stuff. Mask scent I use when I am with a bunch of n00bs who head to a mission and then sit inside the lair and get off thier bike and start shooting , I usually sit at the back and watch em die.
Ranger
----------
I wanted tracking and wayfaring maxed , and obviously master to get the max drop from my kills and be able to run around unhindered.. The survival and trapping were grinds. Thew high tech field base is the ONLY thing i use out of those two trees EVER. Camo kits are useless to me, I mean, yeah I need camo on naboo ? Get real ! I got a sliced LLC and BH LLCIV. Rescue even says in the skill tree that it might not work, which made me laugh as I thought that was put in there by the dev's when i first saw it. Forage and Mask scent seem to have gotten better as in they dont fail as much , but the forage bug seems to crop up more so technically I thinkI got worse at that, but since they are pretty much useless anyway I don't think I can comment there..
So out of my TWO masteries , I actually require and think that only 4 out of the 8 trees are even usefull.. I dont care about calling pets and vehicles and stuff. What I do care about is that being a Master Ranger should be something cool, you know, usefull to have in your team. At the moment I can area track but cant see animals that havent spawned, making it useless in fact I use it to locate NPC trainers for people more often than to track my prey, camo kits are a joke, my camps make people go wow for like 5 seconds and for some reason my HTFB has a force field round it that repels things that I imagine, everything else gets in.. Apart from that I can harvest 30% more organic goods than other people..
SO ! In conclusion , my profession sucks , now you guys want to make it worse.. Not that I care or anything, you just carry on crying about things until you all get the 30% bonus on the harvest aswell and better terrain negotation.. Can anyone actually tell me why I should keep Master Ranger ? Because EVERY DAY I think it was a bad idea.
