Thread: I never ever ever ever EVER thought of hiding my ranger tag... Then RoTW came to us.

Home: Lok

Location: Southern desert west of the volcano.


I've always appreciated Lok forvariousreasons. Unlike Dathomir, there are no insanely clipped logs and craggy ass trees getting in my way. There are reasonable hills where I can negotiate the slopes generally easily (be it by foot or speeder). Unlike Corellia, it's Reasonably populated unlike Lagonet*cough*Coronet. Unlike yavin, there are no invisible rocks that stop me in my tracks when trying to get somewhere. Also, Lok seems to be a backwater planet where most people never think once of visiting (unless to get the Nym Themepark badge). Which leads me to other thoughts:


The xp is quite decent for the kills and many of them don't DB when incapping occurs. Of course, this ignores the random visit by a kimo. So, no lag, no craggy trees, no hidden rocks, decent xp... Enter RoTW. Now everyone and their damned denmother wants that robotic arm. This means they must, at one point, come to Lok for their 20 snorbals. If you're l33t, they're the funk33 dunk33 elephant pansies. Well, instead of actually 'hunting' or 'exploring (damned ifthey do anything like that), around thirty times a night, I'm bombardedwith tells asking me to track for them.


Now, don't get me wrong about this. I was happy to drop everything I was doing to track for them the first fifty times (allow me to remenisc about the initial days of knight trials and the damned peko peko albatross), but this is getting tired quickly. I feel like a preCU doc being askedat random times to buff someone in BFE. Now, Ieither give them an area tosearch or I hide my tag. I just can't wait until this cyberarm thing goes out of fashion so I can wear the master ranger title without tellhell. Has anyone else encounter this?

This may sound petty of me, but do like I do...starting charging 50k to track there. I get the same tells all the time, and I don't mind helping. But if I'm doing something with the guildies, and I start getting those tells, then they're taking my time away from my homies to go help them, so then it costs.


Could I not answer the tells? Sure, I could. But I don't like typing on my ignore list, either.

I personally have no problem whatsoever charging people for my time.


They want me to perform a service, then they'll pay up or find someone else.

I got the robotic arm.. used it a little while and then removed it. STuck it in the bank.

Its ugly for one. And bugged. Each time I use the sureshot or whatever you call it I did less than 100 damage and then I cant use the shot for another 20 minutes! 20 minutes! lol... Nice buggy quest. Worthless reward.

Lol, exactly the same tells I have been getting.


"Are you busy..." no, I am sitting around waiting to serve you - of course I am busy, I am logged in, I am not a crafter, I am hunting something somewhere. And generally finding what I am looking for too, which is why I am a Ranger.


"I need to find..." go look. Amazing what you find when you look. And get the hell out of the starport, you won't find them there either.


"Can you..." Yes, I can. Will I... depends, how much money you willing to thrust upon me? Ok, you now owe me a large one each favor. In the coming months I will be taking on Mellichae, maybe. You owe me. No whining when you die either.


Hey, works for me. And the arm can wait. Anyone know where to get the heavy X wing?

The second and third points I agree with, but the first just sounds like politeness to me. Whenever I tell someone I found through search for training, slicing or somesuch, I always start with "Hello, are you busy?" or "Hello, can I bother you for a moment?". I used to have a smuggler character and I always appreciated someone doing that rather than just saying "I need a gun sliced".

The sad part though is that one can easily find snorbals just by driving arround a bit. It's not that they are rare like the peko peko albatross... It just takes a couple minutes. Lazy lazy people....

Heh, I'd just give them some waypoint like 4k away from any shuttle and say walk there and you'll find some.


Then when he sends me a tell saying he's there and didn't find any I'll say "Did you ride your speeder?" When he says yes, I'll say "okay now WALK back to Nyms there's a spot in between that has them."

I used to live on Lok. /agree with all your sentiments. Saw them everyday. Bet you a million it'll take me a month to find them as soon as I start on that quest.
