Rangers we supposed to get better damage. My sharp shot damage has been drastically lowered. I'm really pissed off and not enjoying the game.

Hi Godin

Didn't you play a ranger in the beta test? Nothing has change on the ranger since then.

Yeah but had no idea sharp shot had been decreased so much. I didn't reach my level so didn't notice it. In beta we were given sigils and potions and res stones. It made it completely different. I like the ranger but killing the main attack spell is ridiculous. The game has been made very hard with the new aggro and I can't even get to monsters my level. I've also been killed by a few level 35s. I think you should revert back to the old aggro and restore the sharp shot damage.

It's really frustrating when you put so much time into the old version with the ranger as it was one of the worst classes. Then you get told that rangers will have better damage to balance the classes and then when the update goes live you realise that you can't actually fight anything worthwhile. It's a huge disappointment.

100% agree- Sharp Shot is reallllly underpowered now (and it was underpowered before)

Camoflauge is ok for sneaking past enemies similar to Rogue Hide ability, but I would like to see Camoflauge allowing you to attack and remain hidden, or at least attack a distance from the enemy without aggro(or isolate the aggro to just the monster you are attacking without having the whole mob run towards you).

Yeah the beta felt way different than this.

Also, the issue of arrows. It sucks to have to buy individual arrows. I would rather pay 1000 gold to have unlimited arrows. It is a royal pain.

This Icicle Arrow quest has taken me over two hours now and still not enough frostfangs to get 5 arrows. Not worth it. If this quest gave me 100 arrows, or unlimited arrows then I would do it again, but this will be a one time thing and I will just shoot normal arrows from my bow.

The Bodkin Arrows arent anything that great considering the added range is negligible when the monsters runs and attacks me by the time I get the 2nd shot off anyways.

I havent played with the Broadhead arrows yet, but am not holding my breath...

Hi there, I can definitely see your point, we are working on upgrading the arrows situation.

I know the bolas were a mistake and are being fixed. But, you really need to increase the sharp shot. I haven't had any admin reply on this issue. It's ridiculously low damaging. And make it so the rapid shot can't be interrupted. Please reply.

Rangers are fine. I feel as though my Ranger is more powerful after using the book of alteration and getting creative with the new skills available. Also, be intelligent HOW you spend your skill points. ;)

Although I do think the Bolas skill and the arrow situations could be improved as discussed.
