Thread: Master Ranger Tour Guide Adventure
Ok, so last night I took a Tailor on a adventure tour to the Imperial Prison on Dathomir. Now before you say "what the hell were you thinking" I thought (being the Master Ranger) that it shouldn't be a problem, just camo up, pack a few HTFBs and everything should be good. And it actually went fairly well for the most part. The camo broke way too often (one of my top 5 issues) and about half way from the outpost to the prison my poor little tourist gets force knocked to the ground by a Nightsister Rancor..great... Seeing what happened, I turned my swoop around and got the buggers to aggro me, one Nightsister and 2 Rancors. I led them away just in time (I could just sense a DB at any moment). I looped back around and the Tailor got up. She didn't have any med skills, but I had some. I instantly re-applied the camo and gave here a stim. We got back on our bikes and of course being Dathomir, reds were everywhere. Her camo broke almost immediately, while mine seemd to stick around for a bit longer. She got lost once and I kept thinking "She is going to the cloning center any minute now". Well, we just made it to the prison and let the Imps take care of the aggros that were chasing us. I gave her a little tour, wacked a prisoner just for fun then asked her if she had ever seen a HTFB before. She said "no" so we drove just outside the prison far enough away to be able to set up a base. I manuvered around some reds and found a quiet little spot, jumped off my bike and popped out a base. As I was typing the cool uber 133t features of my base, some Nightsisters appeared out of nowhere, ran right into the base and wacked the poor little tailor on the head, giving an instant incap.
Now here is where it gets kind of funny/strange. There were two aggro Nightsisters (one was initiate and the other was a scout or something). One ran off, back to somewhere and the other one (get this) stopped and started dancing right in my camp!! lol! I was like **edit**? Both of these bishes were just ignoring me. Being a rifleman, I needed a little more distance until wanted to start shooting but I didn't want my partner to get a DB if I ran off. So I stimmed her and right as she stood up, the nightsister wacked her again, gave her a DB and then ran off, totally ignoring me... Jealousy?
I must mention at this point I don't think either of us had any camo on (other than my clothes), and yet somehow, once again the Ranger survived.
My partner said she had to log off so she just cloned and I proceeded to kill the offending Nightsister, no one kills a friend and lives to tell about it. After that, my base had been disbanded I simply re-applied my camo, packed away my bike and decided to walk back to town, hunting things as I went.
(Peterman voice)The Master Ranger dusted off his carbon titanium pants and walked back to town through the jungles and hills holding his T-21 rifle with the great Leviathans of Dathimor in his sights. Somehow once again, he survived...
Might be a faction issue. Btw, NS do not notice camo, standard aggro rules apply. Sometimes (don't know why) you can walk amongst them and they don't care. Sometimes they "see" you from BVR.
They dance after a DB. Probably hard-coded, if not it sure seems likeit orthey are rubbing it in. I think it is random when they feel like killing... which is most of the time. Then again, maybe it was jelousy...
lmao- maybe she was using some sort of dance-induced voodoo curse or something.
The fog was thick as soup, he thought- but not thick enough to hide her eyes. No, she was watching him intently. Every move, every gesture. She listened to and remembered every little sound he made, and she could recall them instantly. The seemed fond of recalling one sound in particular.
"Follow me", she said again, mocking him. And it was no invitation. She tossed her lustrous hair about and sneered, showing off a perfect set of pearly white teeth.
"There's no denying it" he thought to himself. "We're frigging lost".
