Hi there

Been playing as a marksman and just obtained novice scout skills just had a quick question..... lets say i was to set up camp set some traps and then logout of SWG to finish that nights activities...... would i be safe from attack within my camp? and would i still pick up the XP etc when i log back in and disband the camp ?

thanks

You log, camp logs with ya, from what I have seen. Right now, the 'protection" feature is minimal at best. Don't count on it.

Set some traps? And what traps would they be? Right now, our traps are thrown at mobs. We are hoping for some that are static, but the jury is still out on those.

And camps auto-disband in about 50 minutes, so unless you were only eating dinner, the camp would be long gone.

Might want to read the guide stickied at the top of the forum for helpful hints and tips.

good luck

JB

thanks

Ghost,

Like JB said, you won't get the XP.

Generally, the system takes about a half an hour to fully load you out, but as soon as you disappear - whether through logging or going LD, your camp's going to disband in about 2 minutes.

Originally, the idea was that camps were going to be a safe place to log out, as in EQ, however this has never really been implemented.

Welcome to Scouting! Let us know if you have any more questions.

Great thanks for the advise ....really then i cant see any advantage in setting up camp ?

other than to chill or am i mistaken ?

Ghost,

Well, it heals you when you're in it - wounds and damage. You can pull your vehicle, droid or mount there. They're great for coordinating attacks. You can buff in 'em.

They're pretty good all around. There are some things we'd like to see changed, but overall they are a useful feature.

B

uh...so can you still do instant /logout with a camp? i think i remember seeing that as a perk for camps.....

Hak,

Not really. It was a planned but never truly implemented feature.

I read something about a future update that Rangers were going to have the real traps, like one that roots a mob, the way a trap should work- you set it on the ground and lure things to it. I believe read that on alakazam. Its intendedto give rangers some more uniqueness from master scout.

Gol,

Yeah - that was in their first reponse back in July.

The Rangers have been waiting for it for a while, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a top priority.

i say the sooner they give us prank traps (like a tripwire that will make a PC flop over on his back while we use our superior terrain negotiation to run away laughing) the sooner we start having a ton more fun being scouts!

are you with me?!!! because i soooooo wanna do pranks!

Heck, yes! Absolutely!

It will give the folks in the art departments some new animations to work on!
