    Can't come soon enough for me, but if it is a cash shop purchase, expect page after page of hate from the 12 angry trolls.

    They've already announced new classes will be no charge... So yeah if they do change their mind, which I personally don't see happening, I imagine there will be a rather large outpouring of outrage

    Actually I have literally frozen my account until the ranger is here. Played all classes to a certain level and except the rogue, not my style.

    Havnt they said that new classes will be released, a few weeks to a month after release? Just curious

    I'm eagerly awaiting it myself. I have a preference for bows/crossbows in fantasy games. And all the NPCs running around with bows are making me a sad and bowless panda.

    Well, that will suck. The game really needs an archer class.

    Ah man, that is a total bummer. Personally, I think the one thing that will stop all the QQ about CW is having more ranged damage classes available. Such a shame if this is truly the future of the ranger :(

    One mod mentioned it a long while back. However the dat file prove Scourge Warlock and Archer Ranger are much closer to release and Archer Ranger gear has dropped in the game during betas. Occam's razor.

    Just don't see why they don't offer a Bow skill to all melee classes anyway.

    I wouldn't doubt you will have to pay for each new class. You have to purchase respecs so why not new classes. Expect the forums to be swamped...

    the problem with new classes is all will make one. How does a level 30 get in a dungeon/skirmish group when everyone else is also a ranger as example?

    Id like to see more of anything. Extra points if its something still needed like pure ranged DPS instead of a ranged controller. We already have melee DPS in both single target and AOE flavors. So another one seems a tad redundant. Not that redundant is bad, id like to see a melee cleric, but im not holding my breath on that one.

    Still in regards of the OPS question. This is Cryptic. its in their name. You will never get them to commit to a date on anything. The best they will normally give is hard info a week or two in advance a most. Anything more will be responded with their patented SOON(tm) speak.

    Do you believe anything without question people tell you without proof? I hope not.

    Thats why they never come alone. They will surely release the Paladin with it

    Difference being they never said they wouldn't charge for respecs. However they have stated they wouldn't charge for new classes.

    So they aren't charging for one of the new Class' and upcoming Drow. However they do charge for a character slot and my guess, most people have those filled up

    Drow and Ranger /sigh .. I see a great Darkness filled with Panthers approaching

    I wasn't even taking that post as fact, actually. I meant to say "that would suck". Alas, I had lunch on my mind.

    Apples and oranges.

    Personally I just have one character slot used at this time however I have been toying with the idea of creating another character or two simply for the professions aspect. Those 18hr tasks to train new guys are brutal!

    Hopefully they aren't too stupid and add new paragon trees with each new class. More classes while we still only have one paragon tree per class is a bit stupid.

    I hope that you are right. some more paragon paths would keep things mixed up better as well so every class isn't basically the same build as others of the class.

    well, afaik one of the mods stated Melee Ranger is in heavy development now not it is going to be released first.
    My guess is melee is in development and archer is alsmost done and awaiting release.

    Could be a melee ranger with arching skills. Wouldn't be the first class in this game with both melee and ranged abilities.
    But then again it could be a misinformation campaign like Bethesda did with Skyrim and werewolves.

    This is false.

    They already said the new class is Ranger (ranged iconic class).

    - Not "melee ranger"
    - Not "some class no one has heard of"

    Ranger. With a bow.

    For every thread generated asking about it, it will be released one day later. So 14 years 2 months and 5 days...

    It wasn't even a mod that mentioned the Scourge Warlock to begin with. Dev Diaries have leaked that it will be a "ranged class" but nothing outside of that. EVERYTHING else is still purely speculation and want. . .and **** do I want a ranger. . .
