Wow, I too agree that this "fix" of theirs is the shit. I've been offering up for weeks now, how they could fix the ammo issue, and yet, they wanna screw us over? I thought it was great to be able to go into a combat situation, solo, and actually be able to just keep plugging away at the MOB once it was in my face. My offered solutions for the ammo? First, just give woodworkers another recipe for arrows, that's for T8. I feel this is the simplist solution. But, I guess they probably feel that they'd have to come up with a new wood and new metal to impliment this. Or even up the level on the "T8" arrow recipe so that it's 77 instead of 67. Yeah, then they have to up the level of the arrow recipe...big whoopdedoo. Most Woodworkers that make arrows are already level 80, just having gotten to the point of making the arrows, and leveling off of the sales. So, I know the Woodworking community isn't going to complain about this change if they would make it.

The other thing I've been trying for months now, is our Master Strikes. We are Range(rs), our Master strikes should be at range, yet we have to move into melee range to use them. I honestly think that the devs should listen to the Rangers, and not listen to other classes complaints about us. Those other classes don't see the whole picture, they just see what they want to see, and nothing else. We have to spend the most money to keep our DPS as high as we can get it, not to mention all the other crap that all classes have to spend their money on. Hell, in order to save money, my husband and I have been doing nothing but level up crafters of all sorts, during the lulls in this game, because of a lot of the highway robbery that goes on from crafters.

Anyway, I've been trying like hell to get the devs to see my feedbacks and take them to heart, all I can ask that everyone keep plugging away at those feedbacks, eventually MAYBE someone will see what's going on, and take heed. I love my Ranger, and I won't betray to assassin. I'd finish leveling up my Shammy and switching her to my main before I'd do that. But, if they start seeing that Rangers are no longer being played.....maybe then they'd do something about it...albiet too late, but maybe.

Meanwhile, maybe all of us Rangers should now, if you haven't been already, begin complaining about Praetor's Guard, and whatever else we think should be nerfed...it's sad that classes can't just keep their noses out of other classes, especially if they've never even played the class they are complaining about.

*steps off the soapbox*

I dont really plan on going after other classes to nerf, dont plan on being as bad as those shitbags. We know best what its like to be nerfed and it fucking sucks. Plus if I finally get off my ass and switch to another class I dont want it to be fucked up before I get there. tho odds are I would just quit instead....

but what I really would like is for us to be able to get some solid communication with what the fuck the devs are thinking, why all this crap is happening to only us, and what plans on being done with it and how we can get fix.

why isnt raincaller fixed so people can get the quest.
why is our epic nerfed so quickly? there are just as many reasons to nerf everything about everyones epics, why do we get the shaft here?
is PVP why we are getting this restriction? thats the only thing that makes sense, so just make it for PVP please.
why is it better to build effects into our weapon to essentially do the same exact thing as fixing arrows?
what terrible thing would come out of bows working properly?
why are there 0 upgrades sans the mythical epic to our arsenal of any weapon/shield slots?
why is nearly every ranged DA/crit/etc effect half the best melee compliment?
why is there no STR on a lot of key ranger items?
why isnt the 3 piece set bonus fixed on the enlivened chance set? (not sure if its been fixed tbh)
why exactly is there going to be a ranged restriction on point blank shot/eagles talon/ and CA's?
why do countless buffs and procs form other classes not effect ranged attacks as well? (agitate, wiz/warlock, call to siege)
how can you justify our dps/utility ratio when compared to any class above us on the parse, if there is no answer, why are we still getting nerfed asap?
how come nerfing caster hit rates seems like a better idea than boosting melee hit rates for that issue?

I could go on, but if one of the devs wants to come in and kinda clear the air about all this crap it would make for a lot less angry rangers. even if its answers we dont like, at least we know for sure to pick up the betrayal quests or cancel subscriptions.
Thanks in advance!

Methinks it was an unintended side effect of letting you shoot pointblank that it would make your ranged CA's not have range limitations?

This is hardly a nerf, its correcting an oversight.

How is it an oversight ? It was one of the selling points of the fucking weapon . There is a buff on the fucking weapon that rewards staying under 5 meters!

No, it makes no fucking sense at all. Bows with longer ranges increase the range of bow CA's. Why would this bow (which can still auto attack at point blank) not similarly modify the minimum range of bow CA's? It makes no fucking sense at all and severely limits the usefulness of the point-blank nature of the bow, as I still have to stand at 2-5 meters regardless for bow CA's.

Was it not SOE that fucked over that awesome game called Star Wars Galaxies?

Was it not SOE that fucked over the game so bad that they had 28 in SWG (or was it 32) classes nerfed down to 9?

Can anyone see a trend here? There are going to be 9 classes left:

Guardian
Druid
Shaman
Enchanter
Necro
Bard
Rogue
Assassin (they get love)

Fuck its 8 classes!
EQ2 NGE is near!

Kakashy

If thats the case then shouldn't they also change the distance for the 20% added damage on eagle's? Wouldn't that have to be proportional to what they are "fixing" now?

Mirdo

The sooner they realise the PvP in this game is a waste of fucking time and stop fucking about with PvE because of whiny little pricks that play PvP the better.

PvP in this game is a joke anyway. No-one that's ever experienced decent PvP on other games would play EQ2 PvP. It's a sad, poorly balanced, ill-conceived bolt on to a game specifically designed to NOT have a PvP ruleset and as such will always suck.
