I was thinkin…since MA kind took away the luxury of using decoys as hunting bait…
I kinda thought of this idea…A Lassoo…you know! Like the cowboys use
Heres my idea on how it would work…Kinda like MindForce..youd have to skill up on 1 b4 you could totally use it.
3 levels of mob lassooing/lassoo:
Small
Med
Large
In the beginning you could lassoo a small mob..ie Berycled..so on. Maybe for noobs to sweat. The noob would have to shoot it, the lassooer would run behind it, lassoo it, and depending on your skill level, be able to hold the mob for a certain number of secs b4 it lets loose.
After you skill up on that, you could “graduate” to the next level of lassoo, maybe to hold armax/trax/trox young for peeps to kill/sweat.
And so on till you skill up to the large lassoo, where you could hold spider/Trox OA, so on, with the same rules, you can only hold it up to certain number of secs b4 it lets loose, according to your skill level.
Of course, the mob would never turn on the lassooer, giving him/her a chance to re-lassoo it.
I think this would be GREAT hunting fun! Of course, MA could make it hard as hell to skill up on it, so as they dont drain lootpools.
Ya- I like this idea… very fun sounding indeed and would serve a nice purpose…
however… it is basically the same as the old decoys, which MA all but nixed Like your idea of the lasoo, the decoys (for those that weren’t around then) worked more often with higher skills as well. Unlike the decoys, your idea is based upon mob level, which is fun and unique.
So- not sure if MA would want it, but nonetheless I like it.
..I aggree Svet, although, this would be either a craftable or lootable item, as the decoys were bought at TT, so there may be a lil more in it for MA?
Would be very cool to see something like that ingame. Should perhaps use Mind Force as the “lasso” and not a rope (if that makes sence). However i think such an ability would prove to powerfull when reaching high skills, and therefor I’m not sure we’ll ever see such a thing :cowboy:
Like Dark Angel said, some kinda mindforce lasso would be cool. Like the tractor beam in Star Trek. U use a chip to catch a mob in a force field. If u succeed u can hold the mob inside this forcefield for a certain time. Higher lvl chip means catching from longer distans and holding the mob for longer time. This way mf users can help hunters with catching and holding a mob while the hunters shoot it.
Would be awesome if some uber mf user could catch and hold a falx for say 30 seconds with a lvl8 chip. Of course ME usage would have to be pretty high…or someone fairly new could work together with the sweatgatheres to hold low lvl mobs while they sweat it…I see alot of possibilities in this one

Yeah, never thought of it that way…NIIIICE!!!
Already submitted my idea to support…well see… :silly2:
[QUOTE=Tigerman]
I can see it already.. both a rope and a MF version of it, and i must say.. HAHAHAHA ROX!!
I dont think it will ever happen, but dude.. respect!
This sounds like great fun
[/QUOTE]
Why not take it even further, Mindforce lassos in pvp " U have been caught in a forcefield by Tigerman, relax and enjoy the ride"
Very nice idea i want to be a :cowboy: (it’s my dream hush)
i think MA will find this idea very nice maybe will apply in the next VU of later
But it’s same system for decoy, We shall see …
Maybe if they introduced food for curing health you could drop that to get the animals distracted or to tame them (teach them stuff like tricks with food?)…
[QUOTE=Crys]
yeah i like the mindforce thing better. call it a stasis chip. make it work on things like perception, psycho/bio, alertness, courage, etc.
[/QUOTE]
aswell as agility, strength (physical part) and inteligence, psyche (mental part)
