Ranger Archive

You may wish to consult the threads linked in the Geniuses at work thread stickied at the top of the page for the extensive and well thought out ideas that have been considered over the last year . Special attention should be paid to the Outdoorsmen Proposal

As for adding waypoints into the tracking system, I think there is a fairly significant majority that do not want them added as it wouldnt feel very 'Rangerish'

Urgh, no. I'd prefer the current direction/distance to a line on the ground. Would just seem way too easy.

You've brought up a lot of the problems bug a lot of Rangers. The area track system is totally dependent on the spawning system. Meaning that a lair of what you are looking for can pop almost right on top of you after you've areatracked and found nothing. I find this embarrasing when hunting with or for people. I'm not sure the best way to solve this, but I think giving us control over what spawns would help a lot.

As already stated there are some great ideas in the Geniuses at Work thread on Ranger terminals and tracking. Its always a good idea ti add your ideas to an existing thread, especially a stickied one, so that they don't get lost. The more people contribute, the better we can show how much people want stuff like an improved tracking system! I think you've hit very well on some of the things that frusrate all of us.

Traps. Well I think its safe to say most of us find the Ranger traps frustrating. (grin) However there are some new traps in the trapping tree that you should be able to make (like the flash bomb)... scout traps are just more useful in my opinion.

Take care and safe hunting.

Gee fellas...

If you can't use areatrack like normal people, how about a freaking option where a giant hand - we shall call her Mommy - comes down out of the sky and leads you to your objective. Would that be better??

Waypoints have no place in areatrack. Our targets are mobile, or did you miss that fact along with spelling class?? Pretty tough to have a waypoint to a moving target.

Area track works 90% of the time, and if you know how to make it work better, as a lot of Rangers have figured out, it works really well 95% of the time.

I have said it before, will say it again - if you can't areatrack by reading the compass and guesstimating distance, go be a BH. They get a droid to lead them to their targets, mainly as they are too stupid to find them without them.

"Yellow line" -- that has to be the dumbest thing suggested in the past year.
