Thread: A humble recommendation...

A humble recommendation for expanding the activities which give us scouts experience. Since many of us are roamers, and the profession, if RPd even minimally, requires moving around and learning the terrain, I think that we should receive experience by really exploring and finding POI specially designed for scouts. Finding these POIs would give us general scouting experience and would enrich theplaying (and RP)experience for scouts. Sort of like what bounty hunters have...maybe even special terminals that would send us far and wide to "scout out" a terrain,gather info, etc. Just an idea.

I WHOLEHEATEDLY agree with this.

Make missions from mission booth where you need to goto a distant waypoint , SCOUT location (NOT kill location ), and return to NPC/Mission booth.

I was standing there, wondering why frisbees get bigger as they get closer, then it hit me!

Conceptually this is a great idea. But you need to consider a bigger picture.


If xp was earned for finding POIs, what would happen once the location of all the POIs became common knowledge? Then it'd kind of ruin the immersion and make gaining skills kinda cookie-cutter like; the scout would be nothing more than the surveyors with their perpetual AFK, survey macros.


Now if they could tie finding unique places to some kind of random spawn points rather than the static POIs, then this might be viable... and very challenging!

Yeah it would definetly be cool if they added something like this. But I agree with the above poster about scout becoming cookie cutter and would need to have unique spawns.

There is no reason they could not have dynamic spawn scout POIs since they already have dynamic spawn POIs...
