Question on New Ranger (Newb Isle)

[Geldo]

Hi all, I made a new ranger on test to check out the changes. I noticed someting about the ranger progression from level 1 - 4 the ranger gets 3 or so "ranged" CAs, however there is no "bow" he can use available on the island until level 5 (unless I am missing it somehow?).Is this to benefit "twinky alts" (as they are the only ones who would have a useable bow waiting in the bank?), over sight, or am I missing something about these skills. It would make more sense to me to just give the ranger these "ranged attacks" all (3 I believe) at level 5 (it could help act as a hint to go buy a bow hehe).For my two-cents, I think the game benefits from dropping the pretense of "class-subclass"  and I like the "sub-class" specific armor. The new quests are nice, but I am not sure they are any better then the old ones, just new and therefor more fun. Anyway I am only 5 at this point but so far I like the changes very much (on newb ilse anyway).

<div></div>Check your inventory, I'm pretty sure rangers start with 40 arrows and a bow when they get created, and they'll already be equipped. The lowest level bow you can buy is level 5 (and others have pointed out that they get bow skills at level 3 but no bow or some get a shield skill at 2 but no shield to use, and are given a 2 handed weapon at start and at the end of the island quests).

<div></div>Yeah I checked (as I assumed this was the case as well) I do not have a bow or any arrows, so if this is the case they may have a bug here?<p>Message Edited by Geldoff on <span class="date_text">01-20-2006</span><span class="time_text">11:00 AM</span></p>

<div></div>Check your equipment slots, the bow and arrows should already be equipped in the ranged slots. ALso any class that gets poison is now getting just one vial and its already in the charm slot. And they finally set it so food, drink and our 1st level abilities are already equipped/in a hotbar.

<div></div><p>I created 2 ranger and had both time a bow (19 and 20 january)Though both time i died with my toon (lvl 2 both time), re entering in the game with this char was making the game completely crashing (Memory can't be read)Both time i had to delete and recreate the char to play again.</p><p>An interesting detail for the dev might be that each time i tried to re enter the game in my bugged dead toon i appeared with 1Hp 1 mana even while totally underwater.</p>
