Tracking Individuals

Post by Emotionaloverload »

Hello,

I would like to suggest a feature for rangers and trackers that allows you to learn about your target and get more information about their tracks. Right now, even if I am tracking Target X repeatedly across different terrain and even over several days, I will only get their generic information.

It would be cool if you can gain certain boons by tracking your target (particularly if they don't throw you off of stealth) that it allows tracks to say the specific individual (accounting for disguise). So if my ranger accrues enough points from tracking Target X then the tracks improve until it says "Target X" instead of the generic information.

Of course this would come with a cooldown if your 'trail goes cold' but it would encourage trackers and disguisers (particularly the use of the mimic system) alike.

Thank you,
-S

No way to do this currently nor am I inclined to give the class that is already the best at tracking even further specific bonuses.

I'll review this when I finish the backend overhaul but not before.
