Perhaps a way to get around this is so that only ranger camps can heal battle fatigue with the aid of an entertainer, dancer or musician?

I personally love heading back to town to kick back for 15 mins whilst my mind wound heal and i get to talk to some great people, however i hate being 'forced' back into town just because i have battle fatigue so i cant buff until its gone. Id much prefer it where i head back to town to rest and recouperate.

Perhaps the battle fatigue system needs removing and replacing with something more along the lines of 'Rest'. When you are fully rested you have a complete bar of 'rest'. You can heal better, be buffed better and you dont have anynegative effects.

The bar slowly degrades over the course of x hours and reduces futher with poisons, diseases and shock wounds (sort of like battle fatigue plus). When the bar reaches 50% the player starts feeling the negative effects of a tired body and cannot be buffed 100%, cannot heal aswel and cannot use his/her abilities to their full potential (10% drop in damage output).

Following on from this the player experiences another drop at 25% rest bar remaining, this time resulting in a 25% damage output dropinstead of the 10% previously.

Any lower than this and the player moves up to serious fatigue problems. The player finds it hard to concentrate sohas reduced accuracy, cannot focus so their damage output is movedup to a 40% reduction instead of 25% and they experiences a very reduced buff value.

Using this system the entertainers, dancers and muscians can replenish this rest bar to tired players so attracting custom and attendance in cantinas. It would require players to head back into town more to get some rest using a cantina or hotel OR they would be required to find a high level ranger camp to either auto heal their rest values or have an entertainer/dancer/musician replenish their bar much more quickly.

The options would be open to the player but esentially would force players that want to be fighting at optimum capacity toto visit a cantina or tavern thus bringing in custom and attendance your way,allow groups to stay out that little longer even without an entertainer in group but not recieve the full benefits and would also bring something to ranger camps in regards to group attractions.

What do you think?

Oh yeah and we are very sociable beings us rangers, however we tend to stick to chatting in guild chat or the ranger forums than talking out in the woods, i mean you need to be quiet else you'll scare the beasts away.
