You open your mouth and roar with everything you've got! "THERE'S A CHROSS CHARACTER HERE IN GAME"A few soft sounds reminiscent of a baby robin's first song twitter sweetly from within you.

You take in a deep breath to howl, and let loose with a mighty... Moo?! 'GOOFY CROSS CHARACTER'The sounds'DOUBLE SPACE HERE'that erupt from within you sound startlingly like the loud bleating of a young heifer giving birth to her first calf.

>If by good you mean good and not maximum, then we just need to look at the areas in question.
This would be a lot easier to check if we had more messages for how bonus positive an area is.
Might be some confusion on my part on what the messaging means, but I find myself dropping like a stone to the low tiers of bonus positive messages in those areas, based on the messaging I passed through getting my bonus back:
You open your mouth and throw back your head, howling with a tentative but fairly resonant tone that wavers only slightly.
You howl like a wolf calling the pack!
Seems a little low for areas that are supposed to be wild.

Okay so.. I don't think everyone is understanding quite what 'Drift Fast and Slow each have their advantages' means for us...
It means we don't think either is better or worse than the other.
If you drift slowly, then if you tank your bonus it will take forever to come back. If you drift quickly it will be easy to recover but easy to lose.
And you're not going to get a Thief system where you can drift slow one way and fast the other. Ranger bonus is meant to act symmetrically.
Also, keep in mind you were almost never at your 'maximum' bonus under ye olde system. You're not supposed to consistently be at your 'maximum' bonus under this one either. You can just 'see' the difference better which is leading to the posts on it.

Can we please remove the cow and chicken messaging in favor of something else, please? Bad enough we get to suck muck at anything other than out in the open, semi blind, magic hampered combat, do we need to add insult to weakness as well?
Cows are fat and passive, chickens are stupid and cowardly as animal symbols, consider that, as a Thief would you want to be called names or as a Barb or Mage etc? Rangers do not like it either, as suggested not all of us want to emulate wolves, is there any chance other animals such as felines or such could be considered, please?
Meowing used to work as well check bonus, it is still in the old system, I happen to like the messaging better than the wolfish one for my character.

Any chance that stats or circle is going to have any effect on this, it seems unfair for a Ranger who is out of the character manager to function exactly the same as a Ranger who is near capped or halfway there or whatever, please?
Okay, so basically I guess I was asking that the mechanics support my choices as a player to opt to play a social, generally event oriented Ranger character, this is neither fair nor realistic, it is like playing a corrupt Paladin, or a redeemed Necromancer, or an Empath who wants to be violent, yes it is very interesting to do something different but expecting it to be easy to go against the grain, is just deluding yourself.

I think the.. getting to Mooing is what skewed the data a bit since I didn't stay much longer than getting the message in town to see how far i'd go below Mooing. But roughly that is where things seem to be. I'm 150th if that matters or not.

Also thanks you very much again, GM Zeyurn for coding this, not everyone will like it, some will hate it, some will love it, some will be in between, pretty much like anything else. I think overall the feedback has been positive though, for the most part. Thank you GM Sithix to for any part you may have worked on, or may work on in the future. Gratitude also for making the ability to check your bonus more coherent.
Thank you also to Prombard and Aleyden for their tests with the new degrees of bonus, they are helpful.

Personally I would have liked a slower drift only because there is a lack of really HIGLY wild areas in DR, my test is going from the best spot I know of to be wilderness positive to just inside of town to test.
Generally as stated most won't be going from that high of a positive bonus.
I am happy to leave things where it is, since I can adjust to anything, it just seems slower drifting would be better in the long run than the current.

Does anyone please, know how much of an effective actual rank penalty you are functioning at with the old/new system and how much of a benefit at the other side? I think it is a percentage of total survivals other than combat ones, although most would count hiding and perception/stalking as a major defense as well as an offense to some extent.

<<Any chance that stats or circle is going to have any effect on this, it seems unfair for a Ranger who is out of the character manager to function exactly the same as a Ranger who is near capped or halfway there or whatever, please?
As such, it would be wonderful to somehow tie this into charisma, a stat that is woefully under utilized for rangers.

I agree with the charisma factor consensus. I mean it is a requisite statistic for the guild in most games, including I believe this one. Other than a basic low requirement for having a wolf, which we all know companions are a dead horse and need much work, what does the guild actually use it for?

I could get behind something Charisma-based, but if it has to be the same speed both ways, some people might prefer the faster drift and would thus suffer by training Charisma.
This may sound a little odd, but is there any possibility of letting Rangers choose (either through a toggle or through a quest, either permanent or able to be changed once a month/year) between a fast drift option and a slow drift option, with a middle option being the default?

The charisma factor should only effect it in a positive fashion, if it is considered, it would slow drift to negative or neutral and speed up bonus regaining. I think wisdom and discipline should effect that as well.
Interesting coincidence you would suggest the toggle option, between fast and slow. I was fleetingly thinking of proposing something similar. I refrained, because I figured they would not agree. That it would be denied due to the fact it would effect the advantages some Rangers would gain. Those who were wild recluses all the time. They would obviously opt for slow,and thereby be significantly ahead had in relation to other guilds.

Repeating myself: You are not getting your bonus to drift based on your statistics like Thief Confidence drift.
This is solely a measurement of your connection with nature and has nothing to do with how pretty or smart you are. There is nothing that makes a new Ranger different than a very experienced one in this regard, it is simply based upon your personal actions (i.e. where you choose to spend your time).
It's going to stay completely symmetrical. We may (or we may not) tweak the speed of the drift, but it's going to be the same for everyone at all circles and ages and statistics, it's not something you get to be choosy about.

As an aside, I've not noticed myself drop below the max message yet on Riss in any of my normal spots, so that is encouraging.
I don't think Charisma is how you look (Beauty or whatnot), but rather your presence, your ability to command the scene, and a certain sense of confidence in oneself.
I know you guys are GMs, but I still just want to put that out there.

Regardless of whether my commentary was meant to be an indication of the full scope of 'charisma' or not, Nature still doesn't care.

Thank you Z,
I was not harping about it for the matter of Ranger Bonus 2.0.. But rather the extent of what Charisma is.
I'd still like Charisma to have something for all guilds, so that if you lack the stat for any guild, you are at a disadvantage.

Seriously, though, charisma could use some loving- though it has had more recently than it used to.
Sometimes the key to happiness is not assuming it is locked in the first place- Ziggy
A journey of a thousand SMILES begins with a single step- Ziggy

My apologies, I was not aware of what specifically Thief confidence entailed or which modifiers or details effected their bonus. I have never played one very much, so most of what I understand is rather limited. It was not my intention for you to have to repeat yourself, at all, GM Zeyurn.
Is there any possible chance we might have an ability to temporarily change an area one or two degrees, only as far as it effects us for a limited number of minutes, which could be on a kind of timer, and difficult to do as well as limited, perhaps maybe, please?
Also as a possible alternative to maybe toggle between the chicken and cow messaging, okay not really entirely serious here, not suggesting anyone should code this or attempt to. Could we have a system instead where if you spend too much time in town, a representative of the Ranger guild comes and shoots you in the leg, or knocks you unconscious with a quarterstaff, or tosses a spider woven net on you, and drags you off into the wilderness, maybe ;)
Also posting too much can sometimes be lethal. :(
-Armifer says consequences are how we honor evil roleplaying.
-Abasha says, "Personally, I love supporting evil characters, but not if they can't take their lumps too.
-Quarel says, "Not me I hit you because I like to hit."

Yes, actually. In Magic 3.0 lineup for Rangers there'll be a buff ability to make every area slightly more wild just for you while it's up.

Please check rooms there are far to many wild areas that are not wild. On a side not i would love to know the % of wild rooms compaired to the % of city rooms. I like the update but i think more thought should of went into it first.

Ok I'm really confused on what makes a ranger drift fast or slow. I must be one of the slow ones because since I got out of the town meeting in Shard 2 days ago, I can't get my bonus higher than the "You inhale and howl strongly, the cacophonous sounds reverberating around you.>>
And except for a very brief trip to the bank, I haven't been in town and been doing nice rangerly things like hunting, skinning, stalking, opening boxes, forage and so forth. Oh yes, and I only been in areas where we stalk like a mountain cat.
So what makes a ranger drift fast or slow and how can I get better bonus.
I'm glad the bonus is working as intended but come on, 2 days or more to regain a full bonus?
Zinaca and her wolf, Lucky who always has a full bonus and I'm jealous!

That would really be cool. Something to look forward to, but please please, don't make it one of the those spells that lasts a couple of roisaen and can't be recasted or stacked. I'm venerable now and as slowly as I sneak up on critters now, that nifty spell will drop just as I get to melee. : D

<<Lang bin isn't so ranger friendly anymore it seems.
>howl
You howl meekly, unsure of yourself.>>
Yes Langen was changed slightly to make it more friendly to thieves and a little less friendly to rangers. Don't ask me, doesn't make much sense to me since they don't tweak cities like that so we rangers would be more comfy and thieves less. But that's what they did.
Come down to Shard...lost of nice wild places down here though of course, not in Shard.
