Wohoo, special attention.

Oh wait, didn't that cause an uprising on the forum concerning a recent secret event?

Anyway, glad to see priest getting changed. A male religious title to one which actually say what you do, more or less.
Oracle suffers some of the same religious connections, and is the name of a piece of software. :p
Lord implies a male noble title (and even religious in some cases).

Nankarist, Taluseer, Katoorian, Haquer, Klydist, Kankarist, Punnelist, Retchist, Slathist, Fylerist, Koltoneer, Brazerist, Raylerist, Strabuseer, Cestarian are just plain odd and at a first glance could look like a guildname rather than title.
Actually I am not sure that most of the figting titles needs a change, except to drop the 'man' since there are a fair share of females in the game.

Had to vote "no" thanks to time zones, but already posted on the original feedback post.

Basically suggested "skirmisher" instead of "swordsman" as a replacement for "light armsman", and substituting "Mage" where they are suggesting "Oracle"

didnt include in the post, but agree with getting away from gender-specific titles.

other stuff as well, If you're interested in the topic, you will read the other thread anyway :)

I'm sorry i'll be the nice nevrax fanboy :p

changing bulk, stats, requirement or anything who means a change of gameplay takes weeks and weeks as Jessica explained :

lucky for us we have opportunity to change some lame title in-game (although most of the english one were very good compared to french one) and it will be quickly implemented since it's only a XML file data to change...
I believe, opening notepad and edit a text file is not really time consuming :P also, since it's CSR job to short out players' ideas, no devs will be stuck on that...

Unfortunately they've stated that emote genders are apparently too big a task to put on the fix schedule :(

I beg to differ. When we had the furore about the bulk of tickets that was added it took less than a week for opinions to be noted, devs to decide & implementation to be made. You can be as conned as you want by the clever speak but they have already done it.

However one thing they have not done is answer my numerous questions about future plans for range & ammo. I suppose that takes weeks of dev support, code juggling & finding a scapegoat to blame when it goes wrong before testing the reply?

I actually think the weight of the launcher ammo is pretty fair. Maybe 5 bulk less as most. The launchers can do a lot of damage. I am doing launchers some and I find them to be fun. Have a packer full of mats and craft inbetween fighting. I think they did it as they should be honestly ;)
