Observasion on: Rangers

Ranger
We recently made large changes to the ranger job class, which causes them to deal more damage depending on their distance from an enemy. From now on, we will only make small adjustments to the ranger class. We're sorry we don't have any final details for the future, but please stay tuned. However, the distance-based accuracy adjustments will not be a factor while the Sharpshot ability is active. Also, we'll be adding more stackable ammunition in the future.

This was copy and pasted from the playonline website. The only real changes being made to rng atm is with sharpshot, SE hasnt made any official plans to restore RNG to its formor glory.
 
i played rng pre and post patch...and at both times i was still glad to be a rng and i felt like i did a good job of it...when the rules change the job changes and you have to be able to adapt. for once i actually find myself agreeing w/ pere (o.O holy shit i can't believe i said that) but pre-patch rng is just like war and mnk are now, the majority of people played them because of the raw power they had, they didn't give a shit about the job, they just saw cannons and fast XP. when that gets taken away the feeble masses moved on to the next job to they could exploit...in doing so causing another nerf for some other job i'm sure. but anyway, if you didn't play rng simply because of the patch please STFU, the job was still very possible, it just required a little more work(and a little more balls, WAR sub was the answer) than pull, point and click, repeat.
 
Meh tymon pretty much said it, RNG wasn honestly not nerfed that much in exp parties, it just exposed the shitty/lazy players. The main thing that caused everyone to freak out so much was the rng cannons being somwhat shot to hell and kirin strategies having to be reworked since just sitting back and having 5-10 rngs fire at him wasn't cutting it.

If anything the "nerf" was a good thing, It made the good rangers want to work hard to return to their previous form and showed us who really lacked the skill to step above the "lolrng" comments. Also made kirin a hell of a lot more interesting and made several other strategies viable. RNGs still have their place in some HNMs, and /war helps a ton.

As far as the OP is concerned, meh, if some rngs wanna gloat a bit about how they are getting better, who cares. Most haven't been able to step out of their corners for a while now. Still not gunna change many things. Am I gunna have more than 2-3 rngs in kirin alliance even after the update? Nope.

That would be a little redundant since it's in just about EVERY SINGLE TOPIC you post in.
 
my god, another peregrine thread... look at the pattern...
Peregrine spews nonsense.
1-4 people call him an idiot
peregrine calls them stupid and fanboys, states he's better than them cause he's a terrible puller and gimped in the head.
1-4 more post of people calling him and idiot and saying why he's an idiot with solid logic.
peregrine posts again because since he isn't really a med student he has enough free time on his hands to care about this denying their logic and calling them stupid again.

MY GOD SHUT UP PERE.

Damn this guy really doesn't like RNGs lol

this guy doesnt like much of anything really. His entire existance seems to be to gripe about things he cant do, be upset over competition, try and justify his gimp ass gear (rapparee harness while dynamis pulling, lol) and troll the bords to get flamed.
Oh, and say he's the bigshot dynamis dude, when he doesnt even do anything anymore. Daveman and Zylia run the show now. And things are better for it. (aka, no more super terrible ultra wipe pulls)
 
I have noticed a significant decrease in black mage numbers lately, as well as an increase in sales of black mage equipment, at relatively low cost. I had thought this was attributed primarily to the news of a possible (depending on how you interpret SE) black mage nerf, and thought it was black mages proactively bandwagonning the known next best job, summoner. I guess in reality, it was a combination of that, and the news that some people interpret as SE making ranger #1 again. I don't care if people get arrogant and run their mouthes, so long as those people aren't the same job as me. All I care about is my rep and what I'm guilty of by association. Anything that makes the people most in common with myself more humble and respected by the community (even if it's just a relocation of the bandwagonners), is fine with me.
 
Marajade, if you don't want to get your friends or you in trouble, I suggest you stop bending their words. My harness is on loan to a lower thief, not that I would need it to pull anyway, and if I "don't do anything" is what they said I'm going to have a little talk with them.

The POL blurb is a drop in the bucket compared to the outright apology that a developer gave rangers in an interview. The offenders lapped that up.

I would think it's about the blm update as well, but doesn't most of the blm gear carry over to summoner? From a user's perspective, it'd be a safer bet to go summoner than to gamble on ranger becoming a tool again. I know a lot of rangers immediately went blm, but they're probably the ones who pay enough attention to look before they leap. I would think that only the dumber ones would start equipping their ranger again. They follow abuses. They don't initiate themselves.
 
I couldve sworn they said they wouldnt weaken BLM's in any manner. Just give parties with different jobs more benifits~

Everyone should care. Weaker players are prone to letting scrubs have their way with them when abusers flock to tools to get attention and strength. You let rangers take over. You let blms take over. You'll let summoners take over if warriors don't beat them to it. Offending rangers will want it all back if they are given even an inch. It's up to the population to deny them, otherwise they'll be nerfed again, and you can only fool developers so many times. If they see blm and smn and war going south, they'll stop it more quickly than they did ranger. If they see ranger being abused again, there's hard telling what they'll do to the job.

Lol, aint twisten no words. I've watched from behind him for about 80% of the runs. If the rest of your members think thats acceptable, they seriously need to get some perspective, because thats definatly not a well done Dynamis. Last nights Dyna-Windy was terrible.
 
Peregrine didn't pull last night. And I make no claim to be a great puller =)

Lol how am I better than Pere? Marajade just said Windurst was horrible...

speed of the pulls, the order in which things were pulled, and some of the techincal pulls (BLM timed Thundaga3, ect)
And only one major link, but that one is a tricky pull regardless.

Horrible for most LS. But a step up from average Invictus. I'll credit that to Pere standing in the back being quiet for most of it.
 
They didn't time an aga last night. Maybe if you weren't busy hitting my players with pipes when they said they like Invictus, giving them a headache the next day, and ignoring their wishes, you'd have seen that.

I did, and thats the reason. 2 places in windy where it really benifits, tho one can be ignored.

Now, to dispell the rest of the post (its always fun)

The pipe: Started before, unrelated to invictus. PVC pipe, found in basement. I was the second to use it, and he was not the only recipiant at the end of the night anyways.

the headaches: We all had them, result of way, way too much Presidents Choice Cola and other related drinks. Also, he has a degenerative disese, making him more prone to such things. (As a med student i'm sure you're already aware of course)

And "his wishes": About the only thing i ignored was him wanting to drive, and that was soley because A) he doesnt have a valid licence and B) He's a prety bad driver at that.

Oh, and this wed's Dyna-Xarc promises to be "Entertaining" to say the least.
