Serious out-of-balance with hunters

Both spells should be used combined for detailed enemy data.

thanks urgit and DM for pointing this out. So it is a know bug and it will be fixed as soon as possible. Too bad it was not possible yet, even this quote was originally written in 11-28-2007. Since there a lot of thinks improved for hunters, but know bugs were not fixed.

I think you mis-understood. I talked about a bug that is used by most hunters now. MegriM stated that "both spells should be used combined for detailed enemy data." Now you need only one. For this my argument about saved powerpoints for tracking because it is buged is valid. To gather the same information as you get with bugged spells you have to spend more powerpoints. I think hunters won't spend more powerpoints in tracking then (when it is fixed), they would use track realm enemies on lvl 1 and then surveilance on lvl 3. They would scan for 150 m and if they tracked something they would use surveillance on lvl 3. But they would need to use both spells and they will get less info than now because the range of track realm enemie on lvl 1 is lower than of surveillance on lvl 3. That means the "power" of a hunter would decrease when this bug will be fixed. The decrease would mean hunters would not track you that often, would not find you that often while leveling...people would be not killed that often by hunters and won't get pissed so often. Even if a hunter would put more points in tracking to scan for a higher range he would be easier to kill because he cannot spend the powerpoints in another skill.

Did you notice how hunters like zielski whined when I exposed this bug? Using a bug every day and then whining when it is exposed that it is a bug. He was only afraid to loose some "power". Seems like I didn't only expose a bug, I also exposed an egoistic player who doesn't care about balance, he cares only about his own class' power.

For this the tracking discussion is finshed for me. I was right, many other (mainly hunters) were wrong.

one sidenote: I don't call any hunter buguser for using this, I would use it too, I even used it with my hunter. But it is just lame that some people don't want to see the truth and argue with me beeing wrong. And not telling me important facts...zielski even mentioned Myxir's post but could not remember that NGD told it is bugged. Well, just today he claimed in another thread to have a good memory because it is his job.
