[Suggestion] Animal Tracking Lackluster

5 votes

Animal Tracking talent mechanic needs work. When you track an animal it shows their entire walk path since spawn and it can be VERY long. Several times I have followed a path for many minutes, only to end up at a dead end and no animal. Multiple times it would double back on itself also. It's not a bad mechanic to have.

I'd like to see it refined for better accuracy and I suggest a maximum number of 'track markers' behind an animals path of 3 or 4. Then when they make a new one, the oldest is deleted. Then all trails will be pretty active and current resulting in better hunting.

I used the timer within the marker. But I understand and see your point. This may have explained some strange tracking that lead to a dead end. Most of the time I did have success in tracking a wounded animal. I will pay more attention to this in BW7. -d²
