[QUOTE="Asgorath, post: 7526163, member: 6921966"] I always thought people were reading too much into Jeremy Crawford's recent tweets on the Revised Ranger, my reading of it was that the last survey was done a long time ago and they wanted to gauge the current level of satisfaction (or otherwise) before spending more time trying to fix the Ranger. After all, while most of us on these forums are unhappy with it, if we're the only ones and are a vanishingly small percentage of the overall player base, then WOTC probably has better things to spend their development time on. The player base has changed and grown (massively) in the last few years, and thus I always thought it was reasonable that they do another poll and see what people think. As it turns out, yes, the vast majority of players are still unhappy with the core features of the Ranger, even though the XGtE subclasses are pretty good (and even the Hunter is still pretty good). If the end result is that they've confirmed people are still unhappy with the core Ranger features, then rather than tossing it out like the Revised Ranger did, they're working on features you can swap in so they can not break the PHB Ranger while still addressing the concerns and I think that's a good thing (probably as good as it's going to get). As Mike said on his stream, there are plenty of people who are playing PHB Rangers who are very happy with their characters, and don't want to have to change anything. [/QUOTE]
