Smash Rangers, Way War Now

[MeTekillot]

Splinter the Ranger guild into extended subguilds the same way magickal subguilds were splintered. Rangers are the quintessential mundane. They are rangers first, and people second. When you look at a long-lived ranger, you don't see a character, you see a compound warbow and scrub-camouflage sitting on a bench across from the bar. Letting rangers have magick is a farce. Rangers are the antithesis to magick. They are mage hunters extraordinaire. They are too powerful. They must be separated into separate subguilds to maintain game balance and the theme. They are a result of the previous administration's amalgation of wilderness abilities combined into one guild that is too competent. Too many arrows to control.

Also, removing the vast majority of Way communication would be cool. Maybe it could be used to coordinate playtimes by everyone having an ability to send and receive a simple psionic signal that tells the other person what room you're in. Sending out a signal to a living person who receives it could be the same echo as sending one to someone who is logged off or dead.

Rangers are the Jan Michael Vincents of Armageddon.

[The Silence of the Erdlus]

I agree. Rangers have too much, and its enough for several subguilds.

[BadSkeelz]

Rangers have it just right and I wish the other guilds were as versatile and supportive of multiple character archetypes with Subguild mixing.

They could make it the core guild and have everyone pick a sub or two to flesh it out.

And then we could all quit anywhere we wanted to, making having a secret hideout in the middle of nowhere for your crew of (magick) raiders that much more viable.

Warriors need to get hands free ride and branch direction sense late in their career.

Burgalar and pickpockets need to become one guild

Assassin need to branch chopping and slashing weapons at apprentice level AND be the masters of stealth, getting both wilderness and city stealth.

Merchants need to start wtih making_bandages and then branch bandage and brew from it AND they need one weapon skill+advance shield use.



Only then can the awesome Ranger can then stay the same.

[Vwest]

How about we just give everyone the fireball spell and call it square?

[BadSkeelz]

Id rather have 2hand ride instead of fireball.

Are you drunk posting? Split Rangers / remove the way?

Answer: no.
Reason: See the recent Rangers OP or Main Guild discussion threads.

Let's compromise and settle on dual wielding fireballs.

[BadSkeelz]

make it a fireswird and i think I can live with this.

Done.

Get your buffs and let's roll out.

This thread is weird. Is everyone drunk GDBing tonight?

[The Silence of the Erdlus]

Nah. Some are on pot AND drunk.

[RogueGunslinger]

I'm with OP. But obviously it should only be 2 subguilds. One with sneak/hide the other with archery/mount-skills

And Warriors should start with the ability to pick one branched weapon to begin with.

Warriors need to get hands free ride and branch direction sense late in their career.

That too.

And the way should be replaced with carrier silk-hawks and widespread literacy.

[BadSkeelz]

And templars should only be Lady Templars cause they're hotter.

[The Silence of the Erdlus]

Didn't skilling up weapons skills become human speed recently? Although I guess its still too early to tell.

[Inks]

It's a lot faster in many cases with the change now, yeah.


Also Met never rolls rangers really as he has stated multiple times so I hope he is being ironic.

[Vwest]

And templars should only be Lady Templars cause they're hotter.

With Jessica Rabbit serving as the baseline template.

The mandatory baseline template.

Like this?

[Vwest]

I'll accept it.

[IAmJacksOpinion]

Yeah. That's the other reason I think this thread is idiotic.

Hint: You're taking it too seriously. This is obviously Met's way of complaining about the changes to elementalists.

Burgalar and pickpockets need to become one guild

Why?
