He does have a point - tracking makes no sense whatsoever while you're flying in the air.I'd be happy to see scouts knocked down a notch...

[Removed for Content] your fuckin good.

How is it possible to fix something that isn't broken?

<p>While I agree that it isn't 'broken' per se, and there are certainly more important things that need fixing, it doesn't make sence.</p><p>How exactly can you hide a dirty great-big bird like that? How are you going to 'track' anyone from up there either? </p>

well a brig can hide a big fat ogre SK, why not a bird?

<p>If the Ogre SK was 4 times larger and the brigand was flying him through the air on a prescribed route, then I can see your point. I doubt this is going to happen however. The SK is on the ground and has the brigand 'showing' him where to hide etc. There are no bushes or trees to hide behind when you're flying.</p>

but what if its 5 Ogre SK's huh? yeah what then smarty pants? Clearly the mass of their ogre hineys alone is 10x greater than 1 griffon.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>Well obviously he's hiding them behind seperate trees... very LARGE trees.</p><p>But even so, you'd need 5 griffon to carry those 5 Ogres, which again would be very hard to hide</p>

ah, but can you not hide a griffon in a cloud? Keep in mind the 1 griffon compared to 5 Ogre butts ratio.

While we're at it, let's nerf those little buggers in the Nek Forest rivers that seem to leap out of the water and tag me with their debuff everytime I fly from N'Mars to CL or Dock's station.  How do they jump so high?

I'd be tempted to fire-ball the cloud personally.</p>

nono, comparing 1 person stealthing a griffon as compared to stealthing 5 ogre butts. Clearly, flying through the treetops unnoticed is an easier task.

<p>Are you always this irritating?</p><p>There is not a single place on any griffon route in any zone that I can think of that flys low over a forrest for more than 5 seconds. You cannot hide in the trees when there simply aren't any trees.</p>

<p>Its not really broken.  You can't open track while flying, and closing it to try to locate a possible target means giving up early warning of any other enemies.</p><p>Casters obviously have it easier, one finger wiggle and poof, invis griffon!  Scouts have to struggle with the sky blue griffon pants with the cloud camo pattern.  <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/2786c5c8e1a8be796fb2f726cca5a0fe.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>
