Recently, and with all my ranks in perception, I've noticed that our Ranger Team has gotten pretty darn sick of our complaints. I might add that it may even effect their motivation in their production for our guild. I also noticed that the last time we praised our Ranger team was Waaaaaaaayyyy back in May.

So, I introduce 31 days of brown nosing. I will, as well as anyone else that would like to join in, brown nose and praise our Ranger Guru's for 31 days straight. Who knows, it might be that little bit of positive motivation they needed in order to finish that certain project they were working on.


So, for my first day I just want to say thank you for being as patient as you are with us. We can be a pretty persistant bunch. Yet for some reason you all take it on the chin and never leave! Rock on!

Here's to all the great releases, updates, bug fixes, planning, time, energy, bits of love, and especially the creativity that you all have giving our guild and Dragonrealms as a whole.

If I were Puff Daddy I'd throw a killer party and fly all of you in and have a celebration in your honor with expensive booze, hawt chix, and 'fly' rappers. Alas, I can barely make rent this month. Cheers!

There must be something to be said about our current and past Ranger GMs. They are all so stinkin' good they all get promoted to be bosses of everyone heh...But anyways, props to our GMs for their mastery at coding this crazy game.

While trying to be positive for a change is always a good idea, I think the good effects of your effort might be lost if you insist on calling it brown-nosing.

Agreed. If I were a Ranger GM, I'd find this "effort" pitiful, if not humorous. In neither case, would I feel inspired.

You can't really blame the current GMs, they inherited Treveri's legacy. Plus, rangers have the best skillset arrangement ever, so they must suffer in every other way.

Just want to say thanks for always listening to our ideas and making notes of our thoughts. Just because WE haven't seen development recently doesn't mean things are getting done or that we aren't heard.

Oh man, please don't do this for 31 days.

We all appreciate the work the GMs put into the game, and we always want more. That is the way of things. Brown nosing is not the opposite of negativity.

I think a case could be made for Barbs having the best skillset were stealth not broken.

So yes, Rangers have the best skillset.

I agree. 5.7 ranks of hiding per circle and I can't hide melee on hatchlings, yet I can dance with 3 of them all day long with ~20 ranks less multi, evasion, parry and ~40 ranks less shield. All in all, though, I'd still take weapon primary over survival primary strictly for the mindstate benefits.

Man, I don't know what you're on, but expecting any even reasonably sane GM to take "brown nosing" as a compliment (to say nothing of drivel that has no meaning that you intend, I guess, as "complimentary") has got to be the most misguided sentiment I've yet seen on these boards.

I think Gimlias has the right idea.

Thanks GM's. Though you are often silent, and work in mysterious ways, I don't doubt that we are well looked after.

And to be honest here I have started training and playing my Ranger much more since the offline exp drain kicked in.

It's been too long since I did that. There's also a lot of sentimental value to this, as he was my first character.

He's been around since the before web migration but I actually feel like my goal of finally getting him to 50 is achievable now. Even if it is 9 circles away. I see progress now.

Thanks again.

I just want to say thank you for keeping the circle reqs the way they are for us. Sure, they are hard and probably one of the hardest in the game to reach on a circle to circle basis, but that's why we are Rangers. That's why, back in the day, reaching that "Ranger" title at circle 30 was such an honor, because you truly felt like you reach something. Thank you for having that vision and seeing it through.

Oh, I get what we're doing now.

Thank you for continuing to build anticipation for trails in P5. Sure, its been awhile but we will probably appreciate them much more because of the wait.

Ah yes, and back in the day the "Guardian" title meant something too. It meant you reached 90th circle as a Ranger. But now it means even MORE. Now it means that you rerolled and joined the Paladin guild, and it doesn't get much more extreme than that.

In fact, it means you rerolled and just recently joined the Paladin Guild. That's how extreme it is.

Thanks for the Wendigo title, the ladies love it. Also, thank you in advance for kicking Prydaens out of the guild. I'm glad we see eye to eye on the fact the Prydaens should be hunted for their pelts, not accepted as a Ranger. There are plenty of openings in the Bard guild for them.

Please don't take this thread as a vein to post complaints. That's not what I'm doing. I'm SERIOUSLY paying 'tribute to our ranger gurus' and what I say I mean. The only thing that is a bit sarcastic is maybe the title. I just thought that since its Christmas time and we(I) spend 11 months complaining that I could turn it around for at least one month and say what I'm thankful for.

Just want to say thank you for the pace update. I know that it has been in game for a bit now this year but I've only really had to use pace only recently and having that little extra detail about a room is pretty cool.

I know that longbows got a nerfed a bit but even still at level they still hit harder than my other blades at level and I can only think that our team had a hand in that. So thank you for watching out for us during that nerf.

Special thanks to Daert for all his work on Aesry, that place is almost looking like it might be fit for a ranger some day. though i'm still holding out for trails on it, I think he's doing a great job filling in training gaps and doing things that build community there.

What has changed about Aesry other than the stairs?

By the way, I figured 400's climbing would do near-instant climbs, but it still takes a few pulses on each step, if anyone was interested.

Yes, I was seriously disappointed myself. They're STAIRS. You can run across the entire mainland in the time it takes to get to Aesry from the docks! Consistency would be nice, unless it means increasing travel time everywhere else.
