In Ultima Online we had a nice system that would tell you what someone's strength, intelligence, and dexterity were through sizing them up. This helped you to tell what your chances were against them. This allowed you to avoid fights or pick them.


Maybe if the Device told us what they were weak against, it would help? But I could see alot of people griping about this as it's so easy to change your loadout in this game. Maybe, instead, it should just tell you what buffs the person had so that the chickensh*t people can be called out for what they really are...


With proof!

This tool is not intended for PvP use. If you can use it in PvP, kudos to you, especially with the new use requirements I've set up on it:

Range: 1 meter
Use Time: 2 seconds
User cannot be stealthed
Target must be sitting

The primary use of this tool is to make it easier to verify duels and tournaments, particularly with the Org Abilities that are coming out. Someone could have up to two passive Org abilities running on them, which can't be verified as cleared by the suicide/rez technique, and wouldn't be apparent from any sort of special effects. And even if it weren't for the new abilities, it's kind of annoying to have to use that technique to prove you don't have any buffs going, IMO.

All of the servers can have as many tournaments and duels as they want to - in fact one of the biggest tournaments I've ever seen was the one organized on Vector a while back, I think by ManatikLuniak?

Anyhow, bottom line: if you want a tool that's usable in PvP, then this is not the droid you are looking for.






Then when are we going to get a PvP tool?  Because this tool should be made FOR PVP!!!  If it can be used for PvP then it can be used for Tournements/Duels.  This is kind of dumb in my opinion if you have a tool that can't be used for PvP.  It seems that Vector always has been shafted and always will be.

Again, for those of you who do not understand what this tool is for...


This tool is made for TOURNAMENTS and DUELS to make sure the contestants loadouts are legit, and they are not buffed or using any boosters or pills.  This tool is NOT MENT FOR PVP.  For those that insist that this should be used for PVP, please start another thread in the development roundtable thread not here.

Could we ise it while sitting? That way in a duel both contenders can sit and scan each other at the same time. If you have to sit firt one, then the other it will be longer.

He and his faction organized the Olympics. But the biggest usual tournament was organized by me and SC! 200 mills to the winner!
