Thread: Proposal for track
I have a proposal for increase ranger track, this proposal is based in add prismatics and its use.
Prismatics could be buildable by artisans, the prismatics parts could be:
-Lens: an artisan can make it with crystalline gemstone
-Corpse: it can be buildable with fiberplast.
Depending of quality of prismatics: it can increase the range of track from 100 to 1000 meters added over the normal ranger track (400 or 500m or more if we have an increase of our natural track).
Optional: an skilled artisan (like Master Artisan) can add to the prismatics an electronic device. This device can reveal to ranger the faction of tracked players (if they are declared) and the PA of tracked players. this optional function can be used by masters hunters who has the optional electronic device in their prismatics. buildable with:
metal and any energical element.
The form of the prismatics could be like the prismatics used by the rebels in the battle of Hoth (Empire strickes back).
You can wear it on you like a cloth, and when the ranger use the track, you could see how the ranger use it.
This proposal can made more easy our watch over labours when our bases are vulnerables.
Thanks for your atention friends and see you in the game.
They already have electro-binoculars in game as junk loot. Combine that design with this idea and you have a working item. I like the idea of wearing them like a necklace when not in use (but only if you can see them).
Like area track, you should be standing still to use them, ever looked through binoculars while moving......
Using them pops up a window that gives you a narrow field of view of distant targets, and lets you still use the examine command on targets. It could even give a range like the ones used onHothin Empire Strikes Back. Remember the first grainy shot of the AT-AT's as they emerged from the blizzard and started blasting everything in sight?
An off shoot of this could be scopes for guns (rifles) that work.

I like it, gives us a new skill, gives the Artisans something else to make and overcharge us for, and enhances PvP as well as PvE.
As we are looking for new ways for us to help in our combat support role, this is a winner.

This idea was brought up during beta and shot down by the developers...
- It simply is not technically possible to see beyond the current visual range without severe performance hits on the server.
