Thread: Should maskscent work with vehicles

Ok, so call me whacky, but it seems to me that as soon as I pull a speederbike out, maskscent should no longer stop mobs from aggroing me.

I'm riding a large jet turbine, the fact that the mob can no longer smell me is rather paled into significance by the louch screeching whine that accompanies my arrival.

Shouldn't aggro animals automatically start picking on people on vehicles (not mounts - a maskscented person riding a mount shouldn't attract any more interest than that animal would normally warrant) ?

Or should I shut up before the devs notice ?

/agree totally....


Indeed it might even make mounts slightly loved in game again,,,,

War,


Good point.


This would also remove the ability to whip through Scout really fast using a vehicle and mask scent.


I don't know know how well this will be taken by the community though, but I think it's a good idea.

Well, I class myself as part of the community at large - I'm a scout only as long as it takes me to master ranger, then I'm dropping it all again (until I harvest meat), but I think that anything that adds dimension and depth to the game is a good idea.

Mounts were made redundant by vehicles, I think they should be an option, and not purely an inferior one.

Can you still get non-CH mounts ? Like a Durni or something ?
