Interesting. Holo said that tracking and specialized camps (e.g., hunting blind) would come later on, whereas new traps and /conceal should be ready very soon. From what Appytorral said though, it sounds like tracking is on TC already, but there's no mention of new traps. Maybe they decided that it was easier to move ahead with the abilities that didn't require new art or visual effects or something.

Are the level 4 boxes the only ones with xp requirement changes? And if Frontiering 4 now needs 60k, what does Frontiering 3 need, since it currently needs the same amount?

....or you could just walk up to a bazaar and purchase some metal and polymer there, thereby saving a bunch of skill points better put elsewhere and a whole lotta time.

Or better yet, pick up artisan for a day, buy a harvestor or two, find a good spot, and harvest thousands of units to keep you set for years. Much cheaper this way.

Wow very cool

The Ranger Profession means more to me now because of these soon to be improvements.

Note the "for a day" part.

But yeah, makin a deal witha surveyor may work. Plopping down a harvestor in a field may give you an idea of what around, but would be way inneficent. There are way too many types of resources to guess right. If youd ont have the points to spare, and dont wanna get friendly with a surveyor, than youd be better off buyin bulk from one

BTW- I favor the TestCenter changes.

I must be missing something, but I logged into and created a new character on the TC and I didn't see any of the new ranger changes that we mentioned above nor did I noticed any of the dev reported changed for scout. I know I was on the TC cause it was deserted and devoid of almost all human contact. But again, I must stress, I saw none, zero, zip, null ranger and or scout changes on the TC implemented. The ranger tree had no new trees, no new conceal command, no change in the xp requirements and scouts were not getting xp for mask scent, no survival xp for making camps or traps. Again, I may have done something wrong but I was pretty disappointed cause I wanted to see this stuff inaction.
