I can see this is really adored by some, it makes me a little nervous to say this but . . .
Functionally it's a decent idea, but if we get this I wouldn't want it implemented as a harmonica, I'd rather that I have some kind of "brain wave-function defibrilator thingy" that I have to put on my head. Come up with some cool art, and maybe even some sound effecting thrown at thebegining,as the thing powers up.
Yes, I know rangers are close to nature, but I'm hoping that a little more high tech eventually finds its way into the game . . . for example, what ifrangers got some sort of infrared sensor headbandto use within the tracking line? The graphics wouldn't be that hard to code. Even if they gave it no additional functionality, we just see heat signatures against black for the duration of that tracking animation-- and then back to the tracking results screen-- now how cool would that be?
At any rate I do want to say, good idea, keep them coming.
And should the development team buy the ranger BF healing concept- great! Then as a TKM/ Ranger I would never need to step back into a city again!

dude...it's been like 2 days.....
the devs don't check every single idea that quickly. Relax. you're in the Ranger forum. You'll be waiting 2 years to get a responce and then it'll be "we love the idea, and we're working on combining it with our own ideas." In the end they will give it to the BH's as an "Sonic Crater-maker" a new weapon that will help kill Jedi AND heal BH battle fatigue.
i so silly

Great idea antwil, harmonica was just something to represent the idea of an instrument, but a brain-pulser-massager thing would be awsome to. Although we rangers have to be wary of high tech equipment, because as someone mentioned something high tech would probably be mutated into some force amplifier for Jedi's... Because we all know how much the devs love Jedi's, /sigh. Rangers are the like the rejectedforeign exchangestudentsitting in the veryback row, the onewho the teacher calls Charlie when his name is really like Mark or something, while Jedis are like the teachers pet.
Maybe we should bring the devs some apples.
Maybe we should bring the devs some apples.But now im imagining an odd scene... Six homeless rangers sitting around a crackling fire of burning hawtpants stewing canned womprat in there fiberboard box town in some secluded alleyway deep inside Coronet... All the while swaying to sound of the servo-motors humming away inside there sonicpulsing headbands... erm, anyways, best regards,

Yeah, come on... at least the harmonica is going to encourage player interaction. Player interaction along the lines of "Will you PLEASE stop blowing on that thing???" "Look, I'll pay you to go play in somebody elses camp, Ive got no BF left, just a **&&^* migraine"...
Mind you, couple this with the Rangers ability to forage herbs and big leafed plants out of the ground, we could give the smugglers a run for their money. "No spice? Hey, try one of these babies... "
...wanders off to fashion a steel drum out of an old locked container. /think I've got to stop hanging round with the gungan

Why is noone bumping this?
cause you're in the Ranger forum most post don't get /bumped. we generally prefer constructive posts to simply /bumping them.
In the end, I think it would be "nice" to have one, but I think it steps on a lot of toes, specifically entertainer. Even if it only heals your own BF, it's taking away a skill that another proffession has. Just like the organics harvestor on TC2 that we all got riled about, this would take one of the main money-making skills of the proffession and give it to another one. I don't think any proffession except Scout/Ranger should be able to harvest resources, and I don't think any proffession should be able to heal BF other than entertainers. At least with modular camping you might see an Entertainer/Swordsman or some such combination. It'd be nice to have a place to heal BF in the wild, but doing so without an entertainer goes against the way the game was meant to be played.
I would however love to see a Ranger harmonica that could be played, no bonus. I'd meditate and play my harmonica all night long and completely forget to go hunting.
