I haven't played AO in over 6 months, but I seem to remember that the amount of stuff you saw on your radar was directly related to your skill in, maps maybe?

That seems like a good plan for SWG. Perhaps make Rangers/Scouts have the best ability to see things on radar. They can then relay to their group, or perhaps even somehow give the group the same "view" that they have.

Thanks for listening, just a thought.

Hmm, tyring to think of something that could possibly set Rangers apart from Scouts or something and zero response.

No one has an opinion on this? I thought i was a good idea, heh.

I played AO and know what you are talking about.



The higher map navigation skill the more stuff they could see on the map.



Enemy faction


Stores


Insurance terminals


Mission terminals


Agressive mobs


Non-Agressive mobs



Was a cool concept...dont know how far it could go in SWG though...we already get all that info without any skill.

self bump

seems like more folks on the boards right now, trying to get feedback. i just think if this was a ranger only skill it would differentiate us a bit more...

thoughts?

Wow, I feel like the rest of us feel waiting for a dev to respond.


Is this idea just stupid? Any feedback at all would be appreciated.

As a bioengineer who would very much like to take advanced training in the Ranger profession, I think your idea is great. The thing that holds me back atm is that I don't see any benefit other than roleplay to using the skill points there. Please don't take offense, but crawling a bit faster, getting better cons and making fancy camps just isn't enough. Trust me I'd rather be able to sneak around creatures to sample them than have to drag a bunch of pets along with me and carry a carbine, but, again, atm the CH/Carbineer route is far more effective. I hope that changes, and your idea is the kind of thing that would do that for me.

Wow, you are impatient for a conversation huh almost worse than me!


Want my phone number so you can get a quicker response? (kidding, just busting your stones)


Radar is a great idea and could be included in the tracking skill we have all devoted multiple threads to...


Browse "We need a purpose Rangers" and on like page 2 we brainstormed into an idea that is a lot like what you proopsed... good idea.

Thanks for the responses, the thread will likely die now, like my sig says!
