Thread: Possible New Ranger Skill: Lure
Perhaps this could be part of the trap line, but it would be great to be able to lure out 1 monster from an entire group without aggroing the entire lot of them.
Especially with non-aggressives who assist (since it's already easy to lure out single reds if you know how).
It would be another excellent group ability to be able to pull safely for your party.
Just a thought on a sunday morning...
Yup
It's a great idea , and could be implemented as a tool that lures them out , just like real hunters use . They use lures , scents and decoys and blinds all the time to hunt effectively and safely .
Hunters going after big game will use a call , for instance hunting Moose in Canada . You use a call that imitates the female Mooses sounds when she's in heat . Brings that big bull moose a runnin , away from the others that he's with .
So give us the same tools that we can craft and get SCOUT XP FOR CRAFTING THANK YOU .
Also one of the new camp structures that we can build has to be a blind that we can place and shoot from to give us 2 or 3 more shots off before being detected .
And I've stopped calling our traps " traps " because they are about as far away from traps as you can get . I call them bombs now .
A trap needs to be work like the Harvesters work , only we place them by lairs or water ( places where animals go in real life ) and then come back for the resources at a later time .
ALSO what is the deal with ranger harvesting bonus giving me like 5 more hides at advanced levels ???
Lots of work needs to be done here .
How about this as another ability. Tracking. What more than anything is more valuable than information. So give us a skill that mimics "surveying" in a fashion. This skill could bring up a surrounding area map with a list of creatures on the planet. From this list you could "survey" for packs or lairs of that specific critter. If there were none in the survey radius then nothing would be "present". This would simulate our ability to read tracks of the animals we're looking for, know their habitats, and in general find the animals in the wild. Wouldn't this make us a sought after profession. If someone wanted a specific animal they could come to us instead of traipessing around the wilds, or if hunting groups were looking for a certain lair, bingo, lets get a ranger since he can find where the big game is.
Just an idea I had that spun off of this one.
Put Lure in Hunting line. Think about it. =P
You're luring it because you want to kill it most likely alone.. Not to pull it into a trap.. =P
And Do NOT get rid of rescue..Just friggin make it useful and not a suicide.
Like the tracking idea also .
Ditch rescue it sucks hard . Even if it worked ditch it . Give it to squad leaders .
Add tracking , lure ( call ) , and hunting blinds .
ANYONE LISTENING ?
I don't care if they are or not , I got all the good ideas saved for the right time .
Good luck and good hunting all
