A request for rangers.

When you make an archer based ranger please allow him at least a couple melee attacks as well. Rangers are still supposed to be able to use a melee weapon if need be. Please for the love of god don't butcher rangers like you did with clerics.

    Request for more Paragon Paths for existing classes before adding new classes.

    That won't likely happen for a while.

    I believe there was another thread stating that IF they follow D&D rules closely, the "rangers" will be mostly melee with perhaps 1 or 2 bow skills. I have no idea about D&D rules and what not, but I'd love to have an actual ranger with mostly ranged attacks and perhaps a few melee at-wills.

    This, I prefer playing a ranger with a bow. I've always loved being a ranged attacker more then a melee one.

    its just the fact that a ranger should be able to do both... that has been at the root of the ranger class since day one. now if you have a tempest ranger who is primarily melee with a few ranged skills cool. An archer ranger should still be able to whip out his swords and tear into some enemies in close quarters but not nearly as well as a tempest.

    If they fallow 4th ed. builds they will be pure ranged ranger and the two-weapon ranger is another build.

    This sounds most likely.
    Chances are they will split the Ranger class, just as they did the Fighter and (hopefully) the cleric.

    Yeah, I'm seriously disappointed rangers weren't announced for Module 1. Sadface.

    In 4E D&D rangers could interchange there at wills with melee OR ranged attacks. IE Twin Stirke. You attacked twice in Melee OR you shot two arrows.

    THis could be a very Interesting power IF rangers where setup with a Sword main hand, Bow offhand and the animation the ranger got was based soley on the distance the mobs is from the ranger. Maybe with a slightly different effect if the attack is melee or ranged. But it basically being the same attack.

    That'd be a lot more animation work for no real ingame benefit (other than looking nifty). It's not like there's any penalties for using ranged attacks in melee. While it'd be nice, unlikely to happen.

    This game needs multiple classes and all of the paragon paths that should be there. It went live, it's not a beta. Nobody will buy excuses for delivering half a game. Finish it up and add the content while you still have a player base.
