I'm fairly sure I'll be able to attend the meeting, but I figured its always helpful for the GMs to know some of the questions we might have before hand to 'prepare' themselves. So below is a list few things I'd like to see. There have been many suggestions over the years, and I have plenty of favorites, but I'll try to keep this a general list. If a more comprehensive list is asked for, I'll try to write on up.

People I'd LIKE to see: Paklin, Zeyurn, Armifer, Audicia, and anyone else having to do with rangers behind the scenes there. (I'd like to see oolan and Ssra there too, but I dont know how available either of them are, especially since I know Ssra has been MIA for a while now).

State of (or estimated release dates) in no particular order:

- Nature pool
- New Beseeches
- Skinning Fix (if it isnt out by then)
- New Spells (balance booster anyone?)
- Fixes/improvements on current spells
- Trapping/disarm (Disarm is a very broken skill for non-thieves)
- New areas/ways to learn escaping
- More implementations of current skills (scouting, escaping, and foraging are just a few that should have more functions/uses than they currently do)
- Fixes on our Bonus
- Expansion on ranger hunting areas (like genies?)
- New abilities
- - Zen archery (been wanting this since Jent's Days)
- - Bow Feats (like what I suggested among others)
- - - Dual load w/o HOL
- - - Partial/full Aim with second arrow
- - - Combat manuevers (leaping? and others sugg.)
- Expansion on skills at higher levels
- - Auto arrange?
- - Faster Trails and PTMs with skill (trails should be faster than walking!)
- More Trails
- Fletching/Tanning Marks/stamps
- Mech split, and how this is going to affect us? (if its ever released, lol)

Things People better not ask about and may get shot for:

- Companion system - Its broken, its not going to be fixed for a while, (unless we can steal the familiar template as a bandaid.) Dont ask about it.
- Horse system - Its broken, no one is working on it, dont ask about it.
- Guild Reqs. They are minimums, the only reason someone would want them harder, is to hold others back. Dont ask for them to be changed.

"Simutronics", I replied. I'll be sleeping on the couch for awhile.

We should all show up and ask about estate-holder issues.

That's the day Resident Evil comes out. You'll be lucky to get a handful of Rangers to show up.

You might consider the pause button.

No one is required to be at the meeting. Seems to me that those who would really like to have a voice can take a break for an hour or two, or they can read the log :-)

We are looking for some player input and suggestions on a few things, but if you can't make the meeting, constructive voices on the forums here will still be heard.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Quick question, why are we using the crossing (in a city) amphitheater instead of the boar clan (in the wild) one?

I'm guessing because of the portals.

There will be portals and I'll make the Amphitheater wild for the sake of the meeting. Remind me if it is not.

Both of the last Ranger meetings I've been to had portals there, to our meeting hall. Seems a bit silly that we have someone go through all the trouble of designing a personal guild meeting hall for Ranger guild meetings and then coding in all the mechanics for it and we just decide to use the same old thing that every other guild uses. Even if portals weren't available, we're rangers and Z just put in trails in P5 not too long ago that take you right up to the guild without seeing hardly any monsters (if any at all, I think you might bypass all hunting areas altogether coming up from the shard side).

Good to see you posting Teekiepoo.

It's probably too late to change it now since it's tonight, but hopefully all future meetings will be in Boar Clan.

While I cannot comment on how difficult it is from the GM perspective, it seems from my perspective that all they would have to do is change where the portal lands. Since they managed it last time, I would assume those settings are saved somewhere to be employed for future Ranger meetings (like this one).

I was thinking more of announcements etc. than mechanics.

Isn't blaming someone for rangers getting lost like blaming him for the sky being blue? ;)
