I am surprised that no one picked up on this when TH subtlely mentioned this on the CB delay thread...
SOE is going to hold a Combat Balance related Correspondent Summit to allow us to have a face to face chance to get our issues to the devs. This will be an in person event held in Austin. I am not sure of the format, butI expect to be able to chat with Greenmarine and other devs about the Ranger profession as it relates to combat. I will bring up as many of our issues as I can, but keep in mind that this is NOT a revamp meeting; it is specifically for the CB. What I mean is, don't expect too much work on camps and other combat related items.
I will go armed with feedback from y'all and I will be certain to have the Outdoorsman Proposal (long live NRaas) in my hands.
In the near future, I will make 2 new threads. one will be a "questions you want me to ask thread.' The other will be a 'features/changes we would like' sort of thread. I will ask that you don't bombard me with things untilI get those threads started, and I ask you to stay on topic in those threads. This will allow me to better organize your thoughts and concerns.
This is a big opportunity guys, and I will use it to the greatest benefit of our fine profession that I can.
Personal note: I am extremely excited about this!

Holy Hyperdrive Lizardman.
Yea I picked up on the Dev and Corr thing about pre CB combat fixes/tweeks to tide us over. But realize that I have been here from the beginning. I've seen a lot of "good intentions and good ideas" from the devs. TH also made no mention at all about this being an "in person" event. That has never been done for kind of thing, by any game I believe. Players meeting with devs in person to discuss game issues specifically? Holy Hyperdrive!!
That is a good bit of news, and frankly glad to hear it. Are they paying everyones travel and lodging bills? That would be even more impressive and realy realy realy show their concern for how we feel about this game. Dang.
So basically you want us to come up with reasonable combat related changes for the ranger specifically? Can/should we make the assumption this is to be creature only type stuff?

Something shameless this way comes...
Ask them what happens at 129m that makes things disappear and then ask them if they could make us not appear to PC's while camo's, a.k.a., that silly stealth thing (as in, bring that too 
)

Wow, very exciting. I am extremely pleased that they are giving you the opportunity to even do this. I am only disapointed that the meeting is set for the end of August. I had hoped to see the CB in by the end of August, sounds like I have more waiting to do. Oh well, i guess that's nothing new. I can't wait to get brainstorming on those threads tho.
