Guys,


Here's the full list of the 10 questions I've submitted to Thunderheart based on your feedback.


B







1. What are the developers' plans to increase the functionality of our camps?


2. Is it possible for Scouts to have experimentation points added so that we can experiment up the level of effectiveness of our traps and camps?


3. Are there any plans for increasing the utility of /forage, perhaps making foraged items stackable or providing XP?


4. What do you think about allowing scouts faster swimming and mounted (on creature mounts) modifiers as part of their terrain negoation modifier?


5. Are there any plans to fix some of the minor annoying bugs we've had for a while now, such as the Bothan maskscent modifier and the Pet grouping harvesting issues?


6. Has any thought been given to fishing and making it more interactive and fixing the current bug that is keeping players from being able to fish?

7. Will weather ever have an active effect on players - meaning is this techincally feasible?


8. Are there any plans to add new "fun" features for Scouts, like Scout specific wearable items, more robust and interesting missions from explorer terminals, new traps or our trophy idea?


9. Is it possible to remove the ability for mask scent to function while riding a speeder?


10. Do the developers see any plans to provide Scouts with incentives to using Creature Mounts over vehicles?


Honorable Mention Question: Will scouts every get to make monkies? (This or some variant was the NUMBER ONE most asked question. I am not making this up. )

Brisc,


Sorry about that, i think its the "tab" button that does that double-triple post thingy.


Anyways, if you havent already explained the monkey thing to them, please dont, i think it would be funny to leave them up in the air on that.


Also ask them if we can forage bananas, we will need to feed the monkey making machine.

My,


I know Q and the gang know about it. I'm not sure if TH gets it. But I'm sure he will. Everyone was making fun of me about it at the last correspondent get together.

What's the point of having Masksent on if you can out run every creature in the game? As it stands it's just a cheap, andcheesy way to get experience. I would gladly trade that for NRass's modular camps!

I agree, take off mask scent while mounted, hoo ahh.


Most of us "old timers" did it the tough way, and walked uphill to school both ways while doing it. In the dark. With only stale bread for lunch.


And we still can't make monkeys?


A pox upon the monkey making nerf !!!


Nerf the rasps, or even better, unnerf em, I want more meat on my kills.

2. Is it possible for Scouts to have experimentation points added so that we can experiment up the level of effectiveness of our traps and camps?


This would be nice to get for traps especially, possibly to increase the ammount made. For camps I'm not sure what could be experimented on since as you level camping skills you get better healing rates anyways. Thank you for these questions though, I was about to come and post asking about the very same thing.

Lorell,


I got the community's permission first before I asked for the nerfage.

Hey Delta, long time for me stopping by your shop here. Thought I would check out your questions. I have some comments if you don't mind, and tell me what you think.


What if scouts get fasterswim, and the Ranger profession gets the faster mounted on animals for TN? Seeing as scout only goes up to +50 TN, and the ranger continues that, seems those skill/bonuses should be spread out. I base this off of number 4.


I really like 10. I was going to stick with mounts just for RP reasons of bing a ranger. But sometimes for long travel I just do my speeder. But I would like to use my mount in preference, and would especially so if my TN transfered to it, or some other cool feature. Just be careful with balance, and remember that many many people have some scout skills, and mostly TN line.
