FYI, the chith harvester area is not a maze. It does go around in a circle, but that is the lay of the land. And if you feel that a 10-16 second RT is huge, then I feel for you. |
First of all, the chith harvester is a maze. Definition of maze is 'an intricate, usually confusing network of interconnecting pathways'. I believe that describes the chith harvester area fairly well.
Secondly, the comment about feeling for me was unnecessary and I found it slightly offensive. My comment about a huge RT was that to get any RT for attempting to navigate and gain nothing from it is frustrating.

I am confused as to where you think it should actually work. I used to use it all the time in the maze on J island. |
I've never been to that maze or used navigate there. I've tried it in the funhouse, the chith harvester maze and the rhurgul jungle on Jareya. It doesn't work well in any of those locations.
Another thing to consider is that most {young} Trackers are going to try it in chith harvesters first and there is a high possibility that they will never try to use it again once it fails for them there.

Seems like it works pretty damn well to me. And how can you complain when it works in town and out of town. |
And finally, I don't believe I was 'complaining'. I simply responded to Mickey's question with my opinions on it when he asked why someone else thought it didn't work. I never said it sucked or it was a bad idea, and I find that last comment pretty offensive as well. _________________

Yes mistake on my part, the harvester area is a maze. Oops there. As for finding the post offensive, sorry but I found yours incredibly offensive and negative which is what prompted me to post to begin with. And using navigate in a hunting area has potential for harm for ANY player that is hunting on level. Not just young Trackers hunting in a specific area. As for the funhouse, why would it work there, it should be obvious that it wouldn't to begin with. You say it doesn't work very well, but that is all. What exactly does it lack that doesn't sit well with you? It tells you which way would lead you without looping you back into the same room. Isn't that the purpose of it? _________________ Sway..... |

Thank you.

Please, let's revisit my post and see how you could find it offensive? I'd like to know how it could be so.
Code: |
Basically, good idea, but it doesn't work well, at least not in the chith harvester maze area. If you try to use navigate there, you'll just keep going in circles with a huge RT every time you use it. I suggested the following instead: my suggestion here
No offense intended Mickey, it was a good idea, it just doesn't work well in areas I believe it should. |
Now, please explain to me where I was offensive or negative to anyone? I said that I wasn't trying to offend. I said that I didn't find it working well, I said why I felt that way, and I made a suggestion to make it better. I never once said anything derogatory or negative about the ability or the person who developed it. I don't find that anyone should have been offended by that. If I'm wrong, my apologies, it was never my intention to offend anyone.

I never said anything about harming anyone....I said:

I tried it first there, I was way above all the various chiths in that area at the time. It wasn't detrimental, it just didn't work for me.

I tried it there as a fluke AFTER trying it in both of the wilderness areas where I felt it should work and it didn't. I really don't think it should work at all in town, much less indoors.

I think I explained exactly why I didn't find it useful for me and even made a suggestion for improvement, but I will repost and try to be clearer since you didn't see it.
Why I find it unhelpful: It does not assist in navigating any maze area that I have tried it in.
Suggestion: Make it (or a new ability to) assist us in finding our way out of these maze areas. Basically, improve upon the idea.
I only posted to begin with because I thought navigate was a really neat idea that could be improved on, and I believed that's what these boards were for. Making suggestions for improvement. _________________

[09.17.2004] A bug that caused the first forage (i.e. when you aren't adding to an existing stack of an item) to always have a quantity of one unit has been fixed. Additionally, for Trackers only, a semi-random chance to gain an extra one unit per forage has been added. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

i know trackers seem to prefer the wilderness and the lonely lifestyles most of us lead may make us slightly less social when meeting other people , but on reading the previous posts i did not realise how unsocialable some of us have become . i hate to see one tracker slate one another for their different opinions and ideas . at the end of the day we should all be working together towards a better way of life for all trackers i do hope i havent offended anyone in posting this but we should all be above petty bickering |

I'd just like to say, i keep my distance for two fold reasons.. one you never know who's a snake in the grass, and two cities smell funny, seriously after a brief stint of being vocal it's become increasingly apparent to not take some past face value and even then watch my back. When i first got here someone warned me about interacting with some, but they were vague, so i watched and observed and came to realise that i'm better off hiding away from everyone, playing some bastard that hates anyone not eolai, and making as few friends as possible, certain trackers excluded of course. On a more friendly note, cant wait for the pseudo-meeting, i'd love to hear what y'all have in mind and meet some people, that i can not talk to _________________ When walking through the woods when you feel the hairs rise on the back of your neck, that's me hunting you |

I was just wondering if we'd be getting the shops restocked anytime soon, in the tracker tents on Echak. There are a lot of new trackers now, that would really appreciate shopping there. _________________ All explorers are seeking something they have lost.

As per NEWS 4 - Trackers are now have a few skinning options available to them. Skin Quickly or Skin Carefully.
Note: This a Tracker Only ability.
As per NEWS 123 - Trackers can now prepare pelts, skins, and hides for dyeing purposes. The item must be fleshed and then scored. The item is still suitable for tailoring purposes after being dyed, though is unsuitable for armor crafting once it has been scored.
Note: Scoring pelts, hides, and skins is a Tracker Only ability. _________________ ~Well behaved women rarely make history~

the skinning announcement made mention of factors that affect skinning. I was wondering if there was any way to get a rundown fof the impliments section of that.
I will assume a skinning knife is better than a carving knife or a broadsword, those things I can figure out pretty well based just on how they "should" handle in a careful little place, like trying to cape out a critter, but I cant really figure out how somethign like razor nails would perform there. It would seem to me that the ability to handle and manage them would be mroe precise than even the best knife, but I dunno hwo the game takes that into account. Was just wondering if anyone would be able to shine some light no that.
