Re: A Small Amount of Feedback on Ranger - New for Alpha 2
Disengage/airstrikes need to boost your dodge chance too like dodging does, even rogues get a jump over the person and that gives them manuever buff that increases evasion chance yet disengage and airstike does not do this so there basicly useless skills since ur being shot for the entire duration of the animation unable to fight back and just taking hits to the face, these skills only realy good for jumpiver over/up things and determential to use in a fight itself since everyone has range weapon u use opne of these skills u get shot the entire time.
Especialy when melee can run a bow out all the time so the moment ur out of melee range it will auto swap to the ranged weapon and auto swap back to melee when they melee attack u.

Re: @ Intrepid - You're bleeding testers
The slow pace of Alpha development means that people are going to take breaks. I'm mostly on one now, aside from a little fighter leveling. A bigger content drop was hinted at for the 30th. We'll see if that draws myself and others back
I was planning on playing more even after level capping, but snow means I can't do maps effectively...which means I can't get the tier 1 mats I need to get to 10 in multiple crafting skills without a ridiculous amount of gathering.

Re: [Feedback] Racial identity feels like it's missing; races don't feel visually unique.
There's a lot of variation. Sadly you can't see much in the game because most of us play zoomed out 99.9999% of time. But if you do zoom in you can notice a lot of cool details on the models and gear. The character creator is just enough to get us by, I really do hope it gets a lot of love before release. I'm not one interfere with artists creations, leave em free to bring the vision to life.

Re: Purify Buff Request
Just add group cleanse to communal restoration.
Mayybbeee as an added skill point, but Communal Restoration is arguably one of the most balanced skills in the game. No need to overtune it --- I like where youre going though

Re: [Feedback] Racial identity feels like it's missing; races don't feel visually unique.
Lol every race has its own unique armor models. They are doing this for all armor for every race. I cant think think of any mmo that took Racial identity this far.
Re: JM Artisan Foods should NOT be sold by vendors
Yeah agree.
Sorry, Intrepid devs, you know I love y'all, but this level of stuff is indefensible.
I'm sure you're working on it, but it's so bad...
Also, I haven't even bothered to check, do we have a cooking station in Lionhold yet? Any Grem Ears drops for soup? Anything?

Re: JM Artisan Foods should NOT be sold by vendors
Totally agree with this. The economy doesn't make any sense, and they should let us know why it's like this right now. For now, we can only assume it's because "it's an alpha".
I played for a couple weeks, but stopped after I realized how messed up the economy is. I'll wait for the next phase, when they hopefully have the next big iteration of the economy/artisan system in place.

Re: Reputation System for Nodes
I think there need to be an exile system aswell for nodes like a mayor can elect to exile somone aswell if majority of citizens vote for it, should revolk their citizen ship for a period of time. Citizen chat can be unusuable at times due to spies too so kinda helps with that if u know who they are.
