Ranger outdoor movement bonus.

Sedarine · March 02, 2009, 10:45:46 PM

I was pretty certain it wasn't working, but now that I'm 6th I'm almost positive, it's not. I see no "movement speed increased icon" and am not moving quicker like i ought to be. Character is a moon elf if that helps in any way.

I did a search and saw no topic on this, nor could I find one scouring 20 pages deep in this forum. Is this a known bug?

First time I've heard of it. . . I might of just not noticed though

Sedarine · March 03, 2009, 12:20:42 AM

I remember it working in the UD, which is why it's odd!

It's applied.

Don't worry about it.

I've noticed some generally buggy things about movement speed too. Sometimes it seems to work and others it doesn't. Worth taking a peek at.

I'm not seeing it! At 15% faster I oughta smoke by you in the wilds!

I've never taken my ranger to the wilds in anything less than heavy armor. I'll test to see if it's working for me.

Pup · March 03, 2009, 08:18:06 PM

Not working, even when naked.

Sedarine · March 03, 2009, 08:25:30 PM

Thanks Pup...I told you guys i wasn't crazy!

ExileStrife · March 03, 2009, 10:38:50 PM

Is this a case of you guys simply not being in wilderness zones? I have a feeling some of the areas close to the zig might not be wilderness, and are intended not to be wilderness, even though they might look like they are wilderness.

Well a ranger can tell due to the +4 ms hide bonus feat granted to them. I would assume any area that gives the bonus stealth is wilderness (I haven't tested this, just a theory)

Pup · March 03, 2009, 11:07:25 PM

That was my assumption, Relinquish. But I will try it again deeper in the wilds.

Oversight with variables.

We may look into some adjustments though, now that some of the default bioware bonuses come into play with wilderness areas due to using surface tilesets.

Sedarine · March 04, 2009, 01:18:59 AM

What do you mean by that Howland? Could you expand on your answer a bit?

I always thought the speed bonus was sort of nice, gives a good edge in the wild and a way to sneak-follow people in the wilds too!

Howlando · March 04, 2009, 01:25:47 AM

Mostly for druids, adjustment may be needed.

It would be helpful if PCs could narrow down if it is working anywhere at all, or just not in most/some areas.
