Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Burter - 05-06-2008
Binoculars allow you to see who is in squares adjacent to your own. Should it stay? Too powerful?
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Warako - 05-06-2008
Stay, however it should only be able to see squares N/S/E/W, no diagonal squares.
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Orion - 05-06-2008
Yeah, let it stay too. As long as it's one direction once a day.
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Burter - 05-06-2008
It's actually up to three uses per day
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Kirano - 05-06-2008
Yeah, binoculars are cool, but how much diagonal sqaures are we talking here, just one NE, SE, SW, NW of our current position?
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Burter - 05-06-2008
Yes.
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Raditzu - 05-06-2008
I think binoculars are fine.
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Hellfighter 17 - 05-06-2008
Yea. It adds a lot more strategy to the game. I remember when XTC was doing DA and we had my sniper rifle to see around us (I think it was the rifle; either way, we were able to do this), and it added a whole new level of strategy to the game, to plot others' movements and foresee possible attacks. We didn't always know what we were doing, and it can give a group (or individual) the opportunity to control the game in a tiny way which, I think, is a big part of DA.
Eight squares around and three looks a day sound b-, no, a-okay.

If the sniper comes back, it won't have that ability anymore. It was a mistake to give two items the same ability

I personally think the binoculars are fine. . .
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Raditzu - 05-06-2008
Unlike the GPS, people actually have to move around to get full use of the binoculars. And that keeps most of the unpredictability that makes DA so great.
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Zangya - 05-06-2008
Like I said in the GPS thread, the binoculars are a tool, not a weapon. I'm sticking by that. Even though my problems with the binoculars are considerably less than my problems with GPS. The GPS is just too powerful. But I agree with Orion. One direction, once a day.

That.
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Orion - 05-07-2008
What's wrong with diagonal squares?
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Hellfighter 17 - 05-07-2008
One direction a day and no diagonal squares seems so arbitrary. There should be some sense of realism with this.
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Burter - 05-07-2008
I would be willing to compromise on 2 times a day
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Raditzu - 05-08-2008
If the Binoculars are being dropped to 2 times, I'd say the GPS should be dropped to once.

Agreed.
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Bardock - 05-09-2008
One direction a day? Why shouldn't you be able to see all the squares around you?
Binoculars, Yay or Nay? - Burter - 05-09-2008
I'm leaning on 2 uses a day. A use means to see everything around you, including diagonal
