Sitting on Dant atm waiting on the 10 minute inc timer ..... when i thought:
Objective: Take advantage of the fact that this is a MMORPG. The incorperation of a BE in group hunts.
Current Status:
1. DNA sampling is truely a solo task. while grouping with someone does make it easier, what is there really for the other player to do?
2. BE requires some medic skills and therefore while weak the BE does have the power to heal
3. BE's eventually kill their target or die themselves
Potential Change
1. Allow BE's to sample from dead creatures within a given amount of time from the creatures death. (DNA just doesnt die immediately upon death)
2. Limit the samples to 1.
3. Depending on the success of this perhaps limit the DNA quality to HIGH.
4. Still allow the party to harvest/loot the creature
Benefits:
1. BE's out searching for DNA would be given an alternative to the solo task of gathering DNA and encourage interaction with players.
2. While not the best in the world, BE's would be able to provide limited medical support to the group.
3. the couragous BE would still have an edge gathering More/Higher quality DNA fromcreatures prior to the creatures death.
Cons.
(i cant think of any please flame away)
