forever Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Ok last night we were drag hunting during invasion :> (me / dman / smurf) and I came up with an idea. Sniper Lense Ingrediants: 2 EFE / 2 Binding Stone / 2 Hydro / 1 Wolfram / 1 Seridium / 1 Serp Stone / 10 Gypsum Engineering... Level 60+ to make Effects: +50 Health / +20 mana / Increases the visual radius by 150%. / Increases accuracy by 20 / Perception +50 Basically what I thought was whiel wearing this, the camera instead of being able to zoom in father can zoom OUT farther, allowing you to see more of the map, and gives you some perception bonus. Allowing you to range from far off. Maybe not the health / mana but I was trying to make it useful for a minor health increase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daiske1 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 I like idea. But maybe its a little to powerful, I don't know cause I don't range to much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khalai Report post Posted February 22, 2009 But this would put all Night Visors to cold locked storage, hence it provides +30 perception only... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daiske1 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 well this could be like a CoL and the night visor could be like a MoL. Either make this into something else like a med or something. Or make the night visor weaker and make it something else if you aren't going to change the Sniper lens. (Probably a horrible idea since it will ruin the name) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jajohn Report post Posted February 22, 2009 so you suggest making this easy to break? I think that it is too powerfull as you suggested it... but I'd like to see something for rangers....(or shapeshifters) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forever Report post Posted February 22, 2009 It's purely meant to be a rangist weapon. I think if you want it to be easy to break, make it 1/10 hits breaks it in combat. so it's not abused in 1vs1 sword fights like ice arrows are these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burn Report post Posted February 22, 2009 so you suggest making this easy to break?I think that it is too powerfull as you suggested it... but I'd like to see something for rangers....(or shapeshifters) Agreed, this is a bit too much. But something/anything for rangers would be nice. Even a medallion that is on par with other medallions for missle accuracy, which I believe is already suggested so I guess that's off-topic...

forever Report post Posted February 22, 2009 that stat increase is 100% negotiable. I never set it in stone. I was just trying to make it something cool. and increasing the visual radius by 150% and some perception boost would make it more of a sniper type thing. It's MEANT to be used as a sniper, to hit things from farther off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagpieLee Report post Posted February 23, 2009 What item type would this be? Headwear? This will definately put NVs into cold storage Unless you want to have this as another item type of course. Btw just a quick note, I know the formula you posted isn't set in stone or final, but the mix window only allows 6 different types. I think its the increase visual field that is the most overpowering element here. Increasing your field of view is useful in things like invasions, joker hunts, contests, lenny hunting...and not just for sniping as you put it. Why not just change the NV formula slightly and change its attributes? (and of course drastically decreasing the % it drops). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizzy Report post Posted February 23, 2009 Maybe just a tweak to the current visor +5 missle accuracy +30 heath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khalai Report post Posted February 23, 2009 Or use night visor as one of the ingredients, that way it would be like enhanced one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagpieLee Report post Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Maybe just a tweak to the current visor +5 missle accuracy +30 heath Or use night visor as one of the ingredients, that way it would be like enhanced one. Both of these can work together Edited February 23, 2009 by MagpieLee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolarStar Report post Posted March 3, 2009 Maybe just a tweak to the current visor +5 missle accuracy +30 heath only +4 missle accuracy would safe me 60000gc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andalan Report post Posted March 3, 2009 I don't know if it's possible with the current client, but what about reducing the walking speed as a penalty? Viewing through high-zoom binoculars should impair your movement since you probably can't focus on your feet. Combined with a cooldown for putting on/off (still another thing that would have to be implemented in the client) this new item could only be used in special situations, when you know you're in a pretty safe position.

Cruella Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Raise your skill people NV's work just fine The numbers suggested in the first post are ridiculously high, current top rangers would be able to do wonders with these lol I would like perhaps makeable versions of enhanced NV's with health bonus but I would not support an idea of adding accuracy bonus to it. So either : - NV's + 10 ELE + 10 Binding Stones -> Enhanced NV's with + 50 HP bonus or - NV's + CoL + 10 Binding Stones + 1 EFE + 5 EME -> NV's of Life (NV's functionality + 150 HP) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
