Thread: What if we had resource shift information?

Maybe they could have a Ranger only terminal that would tell us what resources (hides, bone and meat) are currently spawned and what quality they are.

If this were to happen, I would say it should be available at higher levels. I am not against dabblers, but this would be desirable enough that many people would join up to get it. I assume this would only include animal resources?

Oops...the point being that if a bunch of people dabbled to get that skill, it would make it mostly worthless.

That would take a lot of the fun out of hunting for the good stuff. If everyone knew what was good all the time then that would be the only thing being hunt.

Sure, I'd say maybe Master Ranger only access.

Well people eventually find out whats good anyway, and that ends up being the thing that gets hunted.. why would you waste your time hunting for stuff that isn't good?

Or you start a company like I did and have a representative on every planet that checks for shifts ^_^.

Still looking for more starsider rangers btw.

I can see a Ranger skill that might tell us when something is going to shift...


"Hmmm... That Gnort is shedding, looks like the hide quality isup for achange in two days or so."


But, personally I don't see the ability to see the actual resources as beinga possibility.

On the Scylla server, the esteemed Ranger Beez (sp?) actually has a service for this. For a fee, you can suscribe to his service, which samples everything and anything on all planets. Total stats, no kidding. Quite the feat if ya ask me. A possible "monkey" making opportunity for y'all with spare time on other servers.

Technicly impossible or just not something you think the Devs would go for?

What is the fun of something if there is no challenge in it. I enjoy sampling all the resources and noticing shifts. I definantly don't want the game to do it for me. This would be a horrible mistake. If anything I want the devs to make the game harder not easier.

I'd throw it on the "We need this as a Master Ranger" skill pile. Sounds useful, if added correctly.
