2. Not a bad idea. The medics will scream tho.







I agree with this. The medics will not like us having an ability that they posses, but what if we made it only availabe to master, and tied it to an object, and not the skill?


I say we should be able to make "litters", (think stretcher). The military uses them in situations in which a combat casualty must be carried from point A to point B. There are also makeshift versions we're all trained to make that is basically a flat surface to drag the injured person from point A to B (not as effective as a manufactured litter with 2 people though).


I also think we should have BF healing in camps. would make things a bit more interesting.

I'd like to know how you guys thing it should be done?
should BF be healed just by sitting in a camp, or would we have to be watching/listening to an entertainer to get the BF heal?
if it's by just sitting in a camp, should it be just the owner of the camp, or whoever wanders by, or whoever is grouped with you?

A new commodity for entertainers, like a holo-tape, that can be bought and which is only effective when resting in a HTFB camp would be my suggestion. If BF should be healable at all in the wild.

Honestly, I think it should be a Ranger only ability. Meaning that Rangers can cure their own BF by resting in the HTFB, possibly in conjunction with some herb beverage made up of foraged items.

I say we should have to have an actual person there.


People are nostalgic for the days when you had to group up together to take on large-scale content and I think that this is a noble goal. Group play is a great thing and should be re-inforced whenever possible. This is one of the situations that would be perfect for that. so many dancers and musicians never get a chance to leave the cantina since that's where they get the XP and that's where they can buff. But if you move BF healing into the wilderness, you get Dancer/swordsmans coming out and hunting and making a contribution.


That way, it's a Rangers' choice-- do I bring a dancer friend along, or do I go solo and return to a cantina later? Choice is a good thing in MMO's and this is one way to force choice.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.
