Ranger Archive

Greetings fellow Rangers! I've decided to start collecting the suggestions of myself and the other rangers, of all levels, in my guild and presenting them here monthly for you all to ponder on

Things that would be great additions:

• Area Conceal-This ability cvould come in at wayfarring 3 or 4 and would allow the Ranger to conceal a full group of players (up to 20) with one click.




• Either using a special Area Conceal Kit, or the given number of normal conceal kits


• Useful for those hunting groups where conceal speed is vital


• Makes it easier for those of us that make our living selling these babies


• Possible Increase in speed on mounts-Yeah, I think we all want this, no need for detail here


• Fishing Traps/Hunting Cabins/New Camps-These are in the works it would appear, and again, something we all know about


• Fishing Bait-Yup, another well known one


• With the Upcoming DE changes many of us would like to see a possible droids that help our profession




• Amplifying Ttracking abilities




• Possibly increases range (I'm aware of the limitations concerning the server and it's method of spawning creatures)


• Allows you select the creature you're looking for


• More details given




• Player track would give information such as Faction, Title, Guild, etc




• Practical because the droid can verify information with the Bothan SpyNet


• Amplifying Conceal Abilities




• Right now this is based solely on your progression through the tree


• possibility of granting bonus while using the droid

Well, that's all I have for this month Just a wishlist really. Feel free to post yourcomments below and NRass, keep up the good work

Thanks for reading!

Whoa, that was a load of smilies....one more for the road

Alright that'll hold me till next month!

"Area Conceal"

Oh, I am down with that, onto the list it goes.

"Possible Increase in speed on mounts"

Well... The developers have stated that mounts are almost too fast already, we can ask for an increase in speed, but this one might be a non-starter.

"Fishing Traps/Hunting Cabins/New Camps"

Well, new camps are in the works... The other two are simply requests at the moment, until I get word otherwise.

"Fishing Bait"

Eh? Elaborate please for this humble fishing mundane.

"Possibly increases range"

That puppy is already on the list.

"Allows you select the creature you're looking for"

Hopefully that will be the implementation of /track.

"Player track would give information such as Faction, Title, Guild"

With the use of a Droid? I can go with that.

"Amplifying Conceal Abilities"

Amplify how? Once a player reaches Master, the success rate is pretty much maxed out at 98%.

• If it is the intention to increase the lower levels, then the Masters mayfeel slighted.

I also presume this effect would be used on application of the kit, as I don't think trailing a droid behind you in the wilderness would be very stealthy.

Excellent... * rubs his hands together *

I've had an idea in the back of my mind (something I thought up a while back, maybe I've even posted about it already and have forgotten) that I've recently been reminded of twice today (once by this thread, and once by the thread talking about mob corpses disappearing too fast). How about a droid, similar in idea to the proposed med droid (that runs around and automatically heals incapped players in the group), that automatically harvests for you? You could preset it before a hunt with the type of resource you'd like harvested. It could be another feature of the tracking droid we're already asking for, or it could be another droid on it's own (so that any one droid isn't too powerful or featureful). I'm not sure how the harvest skill would work though. Would it carry it's own skill (thereby making it available to anybody, regardless of their own harvest skills), or have it inherit the players skill?

Like craftable bait and such. Rather than foraging the bait, we could craft it

Hope that clarifies a bit. Thanks for the feedback, as far as the conceal amplification request goes, it was just put out there as I wasn't sure how it worked as far as rolling or what-not, and if we couldmake it stronger
