It's like a souped-up Birdseye (which, by the way, also lets you see cloaked people. Should we nerf that now, too?)

No. It's just completely useless now, and needs to be replaced. mad.gif

blink.gif I take it you don't know what it does? laugh.gif

It's basically scent... with extra requirements. Such as flying, and a long eq loss, and doesn't see anyone indoors. Though it does get people in skunked areas... well, who skunks everywhere? *please don't look at me, I really didn't spray a third of the Glomdoring when that ability came out... promise...*

I want to be able to sniff only enemies or allies! Like farscout. biggrin.gif
Sylphas2005-10-11 05:42:27
I'd honestly like Scent to just be an area only Scry. Makes Scan worth having, still need a Scry enchant to see other planes or areas, and is still useful. SCENT .

Whatever your argument, scent is stupidly overpowered. Instant improved scry on everyone in the area using nothing but a low-level guild skill that half the game has is just nuts.
Sylphas2005-10-11 05:49:51
Improved scry how? It's an area only scry on everyone. Not improved somehow.

Ever heard of farscout? Try instantly scouting 30 people who can be up to 3 planes away. Nerf that.

OH MY EFFING GOD the game has diversity. We aren't actually all carbon copies of one another! Who woulda thunk it!

Quick, Team Estarra, duplicate our skills, change their names and make sure we can all do everything anyone else can do! STAT!
Gregori2005-10-11 06:23:45
I suggested this long ago. Since nobody likes diversity, makes us all Generic Race Alpha and only give us kick that does exactly 100 damage no matter what. Then we won't need to have people complaining that one group or another can do something they can't, yet completely forgetting the fact that they can do things the other people can't.

I'm not understanding everyone's constant arguing.

Someone make a chart comparing the abilities of all the spying tools like they do on the box of Anti-Virus software.

I'll try, correct me if its wrong.


.................Area Only | Through Gem | Room name| Outdoor Only| Mult Peep.|
Scry........... No..........|.......Yes........ | Yes.............| No................|.....No.......|
Farscout.......No.........|....Yes............|..Yes.............|.No|..............|....Yes..... |
Scent .......Yes.........|....Yes............|...Yes............|...No.............|....Yes......|
Scan .........Yes........|.....Yes...........|.....No...........|...Yes............|...Yes.......|
Thirdeye ....No..........|....No.............|....Yes...........|..No..............|...Yes.......|


There should be a collum for how high up the skill is to get also, but I ran out of room and I don't know that info.
Sylphas2005-10-11 06:39:43
Thirdeye is simply the who list, which is the ONLY reason it doesn't show gemmed people.

Your right, should have change Multiple persons to something like Everybody or Just targeted. Or maybe have that as a seperate column.


Charts will allow you to see if one of them is superior than all the rest or not.

You forgot Astrosense, the new ability in Astrology.
