Option 1, hands down.
I have always felt this should be the way it worked. Scout/ranger camps have a healing mod on them anyway, why not let the camp mod affect the entertainer class mod to BF healing.
I still remember seeing my first Master Ranger camp and thinking that it was nicer than some cantinas. heh
Option 1 says you don't need an Ent for BF Healing in the camp. It would do it over time even if we weren't there. You got that part, right?
Option 1 means a Scout/Ranger could heal BF with out an Ent. Just want to make sure that's clear. ![]()
Also, yes,both options areScout to Ranger. Not just Ranger or Master Ranger only. Option 2 could be made to be Ranger or Master Ranger only, but Option 1 counts on the fact that most people have Novice Scout and could benefit from this BF HoT Campeven alone and with out Novice Ent.
All camps currently allow buffs and wound healing as I understand it. For ranger camps (or master ranger camps), add battle fatigue. Real simple.

Option 1
Scout/Ranger camps healing BF over time.
Scout is the 2nd most popular profession, so the odds are you'll always be able to find a scout if you can't find an entertainer.
Set it so that it heals at the same rate as wounds - namely, based on the size of the camp, and never let it heal faster than what you would get from a novice musician/dancer (but higher than a novice entertainer, based on level), and you've solved the problem. If the camp has an entertainer, it works the same as a cantina.
In addition to the gameplay bonuses this change adds, it also makes sense in RP terms. Camps are relaxing. There's a nice fire to look at.![]()
or
Option 2
Scout/Ranger camps work like a Cantina for us.
Period. Just like they do now, but also with BF Healing and any future additions/mods to NPC Cantina Structures.
You would still need an Ent as much as you do in a Cantina no matter what.
Given only these two options, which would you pick?
ok i'm going to get another 1 star
option 3
entertainer healing
even a novice entertainer can heal BF and wounds, entertainers tend to estabilish communities in various cantinas, the combatant that after hours of hunting i repeat hours of hunting need to heal his bf have just to know what cantinas are populated (2 names... corella and theed), maybe he can also add to his friend list the name of his fav entertainers to ask them where they are performing.
option 4
remove entertainers
Social play is obsolete for this game with most player that just want to kill the most uber critters to get the most uber loot as fast as possible, entertainers are a problem! They have to travel on most remote cantinas or try to find these hidden behing (they are more rare than jedi!) and this is a severe downtime, also they have to pay them! for buffs and maybe for healing, not to say that the entartainer can speak to him or hail him when he enter in the cantina! so here the solution, remove all entertainers, put buffing and healing npcs in all cantinas and why not make camps heal bf and mind wounds faster than an actual master entertainer
now about the first two option
option1
for can be ok to have empty cantinas regenerate wounds a bit faster than normal but under novice entertainer, is not ok to have camps regenerate faster than a master entertainer... entertainers wil become pointless.
option 2
BF can be healed at cantina for prcise reason... it was developed this way to make hunters return to town and socialize a bit with the 'social part' of the community... "entertainers" (ok is not that only entertainers are social, but their 'work' make them generally a bit more social than hunters.
ok you need an entertainer but in my opinion is better for them to stay in cantinas and form groups and socialize.
this way you will have the guy that need bf healed, doesn't want to return home and log his entertainer to go to the camp end get bf healed or the guy that ask to entertainers to come to his camp to heal him (again with entertainers leaving the cantina)
as said in the other 1 star post is not that in 5 min you get 1000 bf, you need hours of combat to build that up, you can spend 5/10 min before logging to go in a cantina and get it healed, maybe you will also enjoy it...
aaaa i chose option3 even if even 4 is tempting ![]()
