How is this evidence of "bard hate" at all? Gordon said two
things:
1. Druids won't be able to track better than Bards.
2. Bard's tracking cap is too high, but won't be changed
(i.e. No Nerf).
Not in today's patch but this is something new - now we know that they have
an agenda and feel that parts of bard's are "over powerful" (yes, that
tracking that you get at level 35 certainly is nice but un-balanced? Better
than rangers - perhaps but IMHO rangers track was poorly designed from the
get go - ie being zone wide at higher levels so you can see all of the tree
snakes that have spawned on the other side of the zone. Make Ranger better
(color code for level cons, selectable range, etc. make ranger better at
tracking - don't make bards worse.) What else is on that agenda? Selos too
fast?
Sylly (wants to know)
(or maybe she doesn't want to know - she certainly does not want to find out
cus it will prolly be the "hard way.")
If you think this is an example of "bard hate" then I'd
think you are too
paranoid and just looking for any chance to slam Verant.
