    Well at least the gnomes didn't win. Still not very happy about Worst Elf winning. Would've rather had Iksar Ranger as an option.

    It would only let me vote 1 time per round i wanted the dark elf

    Rather of seen Gnome Monks using the dreaded "Ankle Biter" attack, than some Frog based "Flipper Kick"

    Once again another prime example of how SOE just doesn't listen to its customer base until they announce something like "We're adding value and replacing the 500SC deal with a single item up to 2000SC per month option"

    EDIT:
    For the record I was FOR the SC change, too bad not everyone saw the advantage of the proposed change.

    Throughout the voting process, all I have seen from your posts is complaints and whining. Enough already. I actually don't even know what class you DID want. And how is a wood elf beastlord so much against the lore. Last time I checked, druids (wood elfs can be druids for the record) had/have little bear pets. Furthermore, they can also charm animals. Why is having class that concentrates on this so shocking to you? The only fault in the idea seems to be the rather odd pet choice, but oh well.

    Haters going to hate. If you can't deal with it, find something else that more suitably fits your obsession with lore.

    Personally, I would've liked to see Halfling Berserkers or Half Elf Berserker as options because nothing would be more amusing than a midget on a roid rage or quoting the movie Elf ("He's an angry elf!), but that's just me. I voted for wood elf beast the entire time and am glad to see it win. Maybe I'll finally make an alt after all these years.

    And finally, to all those worrying about Drizzt names, relax. I don't see any dwarf warriors, like myself, running around with the name Gimli or Thoin Oakshield, or halflings with Bilbo/Samwise/Frodo, or human rangers with Aragorn, or elf rangers with Legolas. Time to take a chill pill ladies and gentlemen.

    Ya, I wonder how many will actually play it? I would have rolled a DE ranger the instant it was available. I would be interested to find out in a months time after release how many of these are actually being played. Personally I think people just voted for that because they didn't want the de.

    I agree, that was my thoughts as well.

    I don't see why anyone would EVER vote for DE or iksar anything when the darkelf mask from casino can be so easily had, and so can the ancient iksar illusion from FoB....why waste a new combo on a race that ANY CLASS can be? Makes no sense.
  9. Yinla Ye Ol' Dragon

    WE illusion is also easily obtainable from Guk, Gukta illusion is easily obtainable from OOM missions.

    A lot of the class combos didn't make a lot of sense, I'd like to know how much thought went into the combos we were allowed to vote on.

    As I understand it the selections presented were made based on existing animations and armor graphics

    It is not your place to dictate to me or anyone else where we put our obsessions. If that is all you've seen I suggest you read more and stop focusing on myself just because you've not nothing else to do. If you don't like it, you're going to hate the internet.

    I loved the idea of a Wood Elf Beastlord and have never said otherwise against the class and race, I only hate the ignorant choice for pet which I've made very clear and if you've seen all my posts you know that. You haven't though and just wanted to complain about something.

    I love the idea of a new non large race beastlord and would have voted (and had voted before I realized what the pet was) on this combo to begin with. Druids are not Beastlords so there is no comparison that is logical.

    Hmm a Gimlee on CT, also a Thoren (cause aparently Thorin was already taken).... the direct names were taken a very long time ago and apparently those people no longer play, whatever reason, but the names do exist in the game in whatever variation and usually on appropriate races; and I have said it numerous times already there were already at least 3 different Drizzt variations running around on CT with DE clicky masks.

    So do us all a favor and take your own advice.
    Frankly, like I said in the Veteran's Lounge forum "I demand a recount" thread:
    Definitely not a choice I would have ever made, and since you want to address the issue of Lore, let me re-address the whole Drakkin logic.

    It has been 128 days since I made that post, but I will set the count to 119 days because when I posted those numbers I set it to the exact year point 7 years, so here are the new numbers:
    7 years 119 days since S.S. expansion went live
    119days * 1440mins = 171,360 mins / 72mins (Norrathian day) = 2,380days / 365(1 year) = 6.5 years

    Grand total = 146.5 years that Drakkin have hosted and housed EVERY Class in game

    Before SOE went off on some lame tangent that went against Lore maybe they should have looked at all factors.

    Again SAY WHA??? W.E. Beasty AND Froglok Monks?????

    If the pet is going to be a tree, then I agree it should be changed. A very lore-true setup would be a fixed deity of tunare and a unicorn pet.

    imo, the biggest reason this class won with that pet was because of all the silly people that were mad that iksar zerker lost to de ranger and they wanted to make sure de ranger didn't win ... it's sad people do things that way

    i am a fan of both we & de and would have made a we beastlord if not for that pet
    .
  15. code-zero Augur

    Well considering that the WE BL was the combo that beat the Ikkie zerker I think your theory is a bit flawed
  16. xcitng Augur

    that's because they were saying that soe wanted de ranger to win and the fix was in ... and thought few would want the we bst to win, especially with that pet
  17. Yinla Ye Ol' Dragon

    If Wood Elves are keeping their warder as a treant, they may as well allow all races to be all classes, the lore and descriptions have already gone out the window.

    The warder choice was brought up when it the combo choices were first know, SOE didn't listen then, I don't expect them to listen now.

    I await the code change for all treants being changed to animals from plants.

    I like a few friends didn't vote every day for zerker as it was winning by a substantial amount.

    Piestro said it wouldn't be fair to vote on the pet now as it was already decided.
  20. Draego Augur

    My point exactly.

    Yes and I can see there are going to be a ton of upset Druids and Necros and anyone else who uses "Plant" based nukes or abilities, but hey who really cares right, because SOE says that a Treant is an Animal so there is nothing we can do about it except bend over and take it.
