Ranger Archive

I've wanted binos from day one. Only problem is that of the spawn system and the LOS system. Right now you can shoot through hills, but you can't see through them. That's pretty messed up. Then there's the spawn dynamic, which only visibly spawns something when you're X distance from it. If you're using binos to see something 600m away, the spawn dynamic has to be changed. The things have to appear way before you're close enough to shoot or see them.

I'd love to have binos, but don't know if they can implement them with the current systems.

so would i, but agree on what shiny said.. "but don't know if they can implement them with the current systems."

I myself dont like this dynamic spawn thing the way its setup. When I first herd aboiut this game I expected the wilderness to be more of a wilderness not a bunch of lairs all over the place spawning creatures I though it was going to be more like.

A herd of maby 50 kaduu spawn and are set on a waypoint they they slowly follow through the day stopping every once and a while to graze and rest or drink at a local lake then continue on theyre track, and ofcourse not all creatures would be like this some would have allocated positions they hunt from and other my just waunder around the planet solo. When I herd this game has a amazing wildlife system thats what I saw in my head I dont know if its possable but I know for sure it would make us rangers lives a whole lot easier if we could simply follow a herd by theyre path that they followed to theyre destination instead of only being able to locate creatures that have spawned within a 500 meter range which is very very unaccurate at best.

Even if you had binos it would still be just like before but in the form of larger radar. I think many things need to be changed in the wildlife system for ranger to be completely reliable.

I brought up a Tirade about the spawn and los distances a few months ago on the TC forum, but never got a dev response. What else is new there. I never understood it based on the weapon systems, I.E. Pistol/Carbine/Rifle all limited to a measly 64 meters, which would make a wonderful total operating range for the Pistol. However, you're right, it comes into play agian when you deal with enhanced sight.

What's really strange is it dosn't seem consistent. It's not as though EVERYthing pops up 200 meters away. There are static buidinds and some random spawn locations (swooper camps, for instance) that you can see coming a good /800/+ meters away. Why not everything else? Then we could extend the range of the rifles waaaaaaaay out there, and maybe triple the range of the carbine, and poof, like 6 birds killed with one stone.
