Locator Device

This isn't actually my idea (all my ideas suck), I was teaming with a friend and he suddenly said "I'd love to have a power similar to reveal that points out the location of mission goals at the start of the mission." I thought that was such a great idea that I'd post it here.






He also said I was awesome.

That would be good idea. They do it on some missions I wonder why not the rest of them.

It does..sorta. The last glowie in multiple objective/glowie maps does SHOW on the map..but you still need the right floor..and to have the glowie Obj last..
But yes..having it work all the time, especially in cot maps, would be nice

on some of the older maps/missions, this doesnt awlays happen. Many times spent looking for last glowie the "old" way even though the last objective suppose to show up on map.

That usually happens when there's more than one glowy left - usually because the extra ones aren't required but still there.

This is something I've wanted for a long time. I'd drop a lot of cheddar on the market for it (it would also make a nice VIP reward if they ever add new tiers).

Every now and again I'll find myself in a Council base desperately searching for a glowie that ends up being hidden around some obscure corner. Even after killing every mob on the map it will occasionally fail to show up and I end up spending 40 minutes agonizing over every nook and cranny with the volume cranked up. I often just restart.

Between this and Reveal I can see how it might trivialize a lot of maps, especially for dedicated stealthers. Still, I've always wondered - for missions where you're planting bombs, wouldn't your character know where to put them instead of turning over tables and garbage cans looking for a sweet spot?

I'd love an Enhanced Senses Power Pool like this, that provided extra info on your map.

Tier 1
- Ability to locate all glowies.
- Ability to reveal nearest group of enemies on a map, or nearest named boss if there is one. Great for those old "kill-alls" where a few Devoruing earth swarm are left behind, or Manticore Task Force.
Tier 2
- A combat ability with some +Perception and +To hit maybe?
Tier 3
- Something along the lines of Surveillance, a single target -Res/-Def power?

It could work for X-Ray Vision, Telepathy or Tracking Scent or a number of options like that.

I kinda like this idea. Just to divert the topic a lil..A tier 1 just like Reveal, maybe on a longer rech or something, so people who didnt have Reveal yet could get something similar..but it wouldnt totally invalidate teh Vet version?

Tier 2..+per for sets who dont have it (especially melees) and perhaps..a small -to hit resisance? Not as much as FocAcc but something to make it different to just Tactics?

Tier 3..what about something offering defbuff resistance? Sure, it would not help some sets (sr) but for others..it could improve them (wp) or give at least some. And yes..we have Destiny Ageless..but not TILL 50.

Anyway..just random ideas..back to the topic.

We wouldn't need to use it every mission so i would be happy with a recharge longer than reveal.

That feature along with the "show last enemy group" is inconsistent at best.


Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

I like the "Locator Device" idea.

I LOVE the "Enhanced Senses pool" idea. Lots of opportunity there to make a tracker like Wolverine, a detective like Batman....


FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

...An echolocator who feels tremors and subsonics, a hacker who listens in on other people's radio signals, a psychic...

Yep. Would even work for a snippy Braniac 5 style super-intelligent, who points out that you missed the obvious drag marks that mean the last Bomb Crate was down the corridor on the left that we passed on the way in.

One enhanced senses trick that currently works by the way:

I keep a macro that was set up like this:

macro AV "bind q targetcustomnext thing"

So I can modify it and execute it whenever I want for aerial reconnaisance purposes in outdoor maps. Just edit the macro, change the word "thing" to bomb or portal or whatever, press and then fly around tapping the q key for instant telescopic vision.
(The "AV" stands for "Amazing Vision". )
