Plainswalker Treant Laminated Bow

[Mineril]

Verandi,

I think the discussion was actually quite polite. What specifically do you have an issue with.

Ngreth,

This is not an attack on you. I (and I am sure everyone else) understand that this was not your decision. However this seems to be a very poorly thought out change that specifically impacted the Ranger community by downgrading an item that only Ranger's will use. Why can we not fix this and make everyone happy. Part of the reason everyone is mad is because there seems to be no good reason for the change, people may calm down if Maddoc decides to let us know why he made the change.

I agree. It was quite civilized. people are upset but making valid points.

My problem is with this logic "7 got upgrade, 1 downgraded." Why dowgrade what was the top bow in the family? Why not just leave that one as it was?

As I stated on the official forums.

All in all I'm still kinda miffed about my plainswalker being the weaker of the two but I can understand why they did it in the fashion they did from a coding stand point. In one to two weeks everything will even out in the end. If people can't afford to purchase a new Druzzil's just go out and farm the parts needed. Sure it may take a little time, but the only people who had Plainswalkers were rangers so they all have forage. Start smashing that button in Tak and Elddar to get the staves, while you're in Tak hunt the horses, forage in Dev for the cam parts and find a nice fletcher to combine it all for you. As for the Druzzil's bow string if you're high enough level to use the bow you can hunt in the zones the favor drops and pick one up there.

Now I am assuming that the correct changes to foraging were put in so that you don't have to rely upon hunting or ground spawns for the staves and cam parts.

Just get out there and play and if you actually try the bow parts aren't all that hard to get.

I have a problem with the insults. Demanding an apology or making wisecracks is not civil. Would you say those things to somebody's face? And expect a pleasant reply?

Ordinarily moderator decisions are not up for public discussion (although PMs are fine) but I'm leaving this here since a lot of people were active in that thread. I know every expansion brings lots of new folks to our board and we love to see the community grow, but the house rules as they have been since this board's inception and which have made this community so strong shall remain. You are in Niami's living room and will treat her other guests, developers or otherwise, with courtesy, or you will leave.

If you haven't yet read The Rules, this may be a good time.

I will also remind people again that these is not SOE's message board and that they do have one of their own. Our board is for talking to the tradeskill community. Their board is for talking to SOE. When they are the only ones you're addressing, do it with their own bandwidth.
