Ranger tracking skill
One thing that usually bugged me was the ranger tracking system. I have only played a ranger for a short while in eq1 and 2. They get this tracking with mob names, con level and distance.
I think it would be more realistic if instead of getting a tracking window, the ranger would hit a skill button/icon and then would see footprints inside a 20-yard radius around him/her. The ranger would then have to learn to recognize all the footprints to feature out what mob it may be. To indicate how old the prints is, it could glow a gold color and then gradually fade away to nothing in about an hour giving the ranger an idea of how old the prints are.
That idea also could give the ranger a chance to prove his tracking skill above some other rangers by being able to track the footprint that may be mixed up with all the other mobs/npc/players footprints or missing footprints via creek crossing etc and managing to find the same one somewhere on the other side etc.
I don’t think it would be feasible for the server to be able to keep track of every footprint in the entire world of Telon, unless one of you who know quite a bit about servers could enlighten me on how it could be done?
Anyway I came across this link and thought I might make a linky for you to look at. Been told it is kind of old, but those of you who have not seen it yet might like it. http://www.expectnothing.com/pub/pos...d/0002k1cc.gif
