Re naming UO Detective

[Petra Fyde]

We're looking at re-naming this forum to better represent the skills it covers, ie Anatomy, Camping, Detect Hidden, Forensics, Healing, and Tracking

Current suggestions under consideration are (in alphabetical order)
UO Nomad
UO Plainsman
UO Pioneer
UO Vagabond
UO Wanderer

Preferences?
Other suggestions?

 

[Bomb Bloke]

Aren't Pioneers typically thought of as hunters and builders?

I mean, sure, tracking falls under hunting... kinda... but a Pioneer would typically be killing the quarry when it's found.

As for the others, well, they all seem very... vague.

Shouldn't Detect Hidden go with Remove Traps?

About the only real life profession I could think of that'd take advantage of most of the skills listed there would be a Forest Ranger.

 

[Arch Magus]

We could throw multiple skills into...

UO RIP skills
or
UO Worthless

....lol? T-T

 

[Harlequin]

UO Detectives in the wild?

UO Detectives in the bushes?

UO Bush detectives?

UO Bushman?

UO Bushmaster?

UO BushClintonBush? (aka hanky panky between the bushes)

 

[Arch Magus]

This may be too easy, but I think it's perfect.

UO Ranger

includes camping, forensics, detect, track, item id, herding, taste id, etc.

Yes, it was suggested in the other thread too, only problem is people may confuse it with taming

 

[Petra Fyde]

The only draw back to that, and the reason it's not already on the list, is that 'ranger' is the professions title for animal lore.

Looking at the skills list, the professional title for detect hidden is 'Scout' How about UO Scout?

That sounds grand.

 

[Wenchkin]

I think scout is good too Petra

Wenchy

 

[Bomb Bloke]

... Wouldn't a scout have stealth?

 

[Petra Fyde]

probably, Any potential 'scouts' in uo can look that up on UO.Thief

We can't possibly cover all permutations, just do our best to group things under some kind of logical heading.

 

[Sarsmi]

UO explorer, I don't think that's used for anything else.

oooo I like that one too!

Maybe include Cartography and junk in there?

sounds fun.

Anatomy and Healing should both be under the Warriors forum since both skills are listed in the skill gump as combat skills.

 

[Old Man of UO]

I vote for:
UO Explorer
UO Scout

As Connor pointed out, this might be a good time to reevaluate the skill groupings in general for each forum. Anatomy and Tactics definitely go with the Warrior forum.

 

[Petra Fyde]

Looking at the listings, Healing and Anat are listed twice, under both Warrior and Detective.

 

[Maplestone]

As I sit in my little cabin in the woods, I find "UO Pioneer" very appealing - the word has a very "jack-of-all-trades" feel to it yo me.

"We're looking at re-naming this forum to better represent the skills it covers, ie Anatomy, Camping, Detect Hidden, Forensics, Healing, and Tracking"

I'm liking Scout.

Herding been dropped from the list?

 

[Petra Fyde]

I don't think it was in it, Fink. I'm looking at the listings as they currently stand on the 'professions' link.

http://vboards.stratics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=414. Seems the person who made the lists forgot it!

 

[TheScoundrelRico]

Move the FE, detect and Tracking skills into the PvP thief forum. Most people who play detectives, are either current or former thieves...la

 

[deadite]

UO Survivalist is the only other option I can think of...

 

[Petra Fyde]

Thanks for the input, the decision has been made and the forum re-named.
