    I think everyone was a bit upset that fired knives disappeared. That was my major gripe about new rangers. Also, the landscape command is pretty damned useless to anyone who has played the mud for any length of time.

    Hmm. Eaglesight was useless at the time, since fired knives were the order of the day. Other than firing knives, fire was a useless skill. Healing was pretty crap also. I liked it that Rangers were then the sherrifs of Arda though.

    Finduilun, you're comment about old rangers sucking is so wrong. I never had a problem with ranger before the change and if you knew what you were doing I think old ranger was just as powerful if not more powerful than new ranger. I know as a level 10 old ranger i could make roughly 1k every 15mins with a buck with minimal HP/EP loss and the amount i made only increased with level and skill as I could get bears and sheep. Sure, new rangers have all sorts of cool abilities and whatnot now, but in my opinion at least sheep > feint.

    My two cents.

    Means nothing, since we did away with 1c and 2c coins years ago, so now 2c gets rounded down to 0. So you may as well have nothing.

    It'd be nice if ainur stopped fucking up the mud with stupid changes. I think it'd be a good idea if they stopped and said, 'Hey Arda, how do you feel about 'this' and 'that'?' and get a general response from the mud instead of asking some fucking geek who's been in valinor for 9 years. You are a dipshit. (If Aule reads this comment, he'll assume that I'm referring to as the dipshit.) Jajajajajalsdkjfasdlkfjakl!

    It seems you all forgot the most important thing:Nerfed thieves.We all know that even before they weren't much use in combat.I myself have tried with secondaries like nature's grace and tactics and that helped, not much but it was enought.But now thieves can't even steal normally!! Not to mention the whole point about hideing increasing chances of not getting cought was implemented in such a way that it works just the other way around.And gaining xp is useless in such way that you gain really small amounts of xp useless for a high lvl thief and I believe useless for a low lvl thief too.I used to gain at least 1k from my thieveing round.That means with the ep drain from appraises and thefts i got 1k but now i got 300gold before my ep was drained.Not to mention that every npc i steal from ends up attacking me.

    My point allthough winded is that instead of upgrades they got nerfed.And nerfed so bad they are now useless except maybe for pk stealing purposes but having an alt thief just for those purposes is useless.

    well imho rangers are not the problem, for those of you that do not yet have an er char you probly dont understand how powerfull these new professions are. when they get released into main arda free race players are going to die hard and fast. the only prof that well have any chance is rangers realy so i personaly would like to see an all free race prof revamp to equal the playing field also we should consider an increase in hp and ep, say a max of 250... i donno, i would like to hear what others think about this from those that know how powerfull the evil prof's realy are

    Commenting with a wizard or warrior alt would make you feel better? All I'm telling you is that I've compared them, and rangers is not 'the shit' as they used to be. And Ansaril is totally right, just make all people civilian and with ESS, so all you can do is 'kill <name>'.

    I usually not get into these discussions but I have to. What is the meaning with having different professions if they are all the same Gabriel? Its like saying: Come on, lets remove all weapons except sailors cutlass so that noone can have something better than another. I think its time for the people here to realize that a mud with all things the same, nothing better that the other will be as boring as it can be. Ok, rangers might seem to be somewhat better in some ways, but on the other hand, wizards are too, and assassins, and warriors, its all about what you like to use in different situations.

    This is what its all about Gabriel.

    of course of course a ranger protecting rangers, but still they need to be degraded more. they shouldn't be able to es in combat, feint power should be reduced by 30%, traps should be empowered and they should move faster than normal players.

    Gabriel, apparently you know shit. They nerfed rangers a lot, I've gone through what they nerfed a thousand times, I am not going through it again. I've been thinking about switching back to warrior. Headbutts is better then before now anyways, at least for pk's, Duncan, so don't whine ;)

    Hmm, actually the rangers are allright, just the others are disbalanced. I have no idea why they nerfed warriors, perhaps the idea of a headbutting/feinting ranger was too much. Well, this is simple to solve, just make it so that you have to EITHER headbutt or feint or kickback or something.

    The problem is with warriors and other professions being ruined. Not only warriors need the headbutt - at least assassins and thieves do need it too.

    Assassins can't rely on a single backstab - this is too random to depend on and is not really a strong advantage, since you can't repeat it.

    Most people have done kills with one single backstab, me too, but this doesn't happen everyday.

    Then assassins get wizards with SRSs and others for firepower and people complain about bangs. I think bangs would be decreased by 50% if assassins felt sure in their own firepower and had something to rely on.

    And try playing thief - well, what good are thieves that is not MP purposes or switching purposes. Shahriar and some others tried 'battle thief' but they got bored pretty soon.

    The point is not to have 'better professions' but to give them equal advantages. And the fact that smart players in general end up as assassins and because they are smart they don't whine doesn't change the fact that this profession is unjustly weakened.

    After all we all kill NPCs (or at least most of us) and the professions without special skills are too imbalanced for that, which IMO should be a reason enough and a reason stronger than the PK reasons to return the good warrior special attacks (perhaps renamed)

    SO RETURN OLD HEADBUTTS PLEASE.

    I'm gonna petition this, perhaps tonight if I have time.

    the idea for thieves to get exp from stealing was a great one, unfortanately the they took a shit on the implimentation side. as a high level thief, you should have the gold to train stats/skills and pay for healing for killing some high exp npc's. the thieves that really need the exp from stealing are the low levels. as a low level, it's going to take you every single bit of your ep to be able to hide and steal. good lucky being able to make exp from that about once every 30 minutes, assuming you can even find an npc of your level that qualifies. that's fucking lame.
