View Distance and Perception

[Dodgen89]

Have view distance tied to perception. Maybe add an item like a spy glass that could increase the view distance while using it.

Yeah with this, the average 50 perception hermit will have a good time vs the 400+ perception PvP enjoyers when they will have 0 clue when they are being watched over. +1

I didn’t think the current PVP meta invested that much into perception.

Also might could be made to not affect view distance for other players if it was too OP. Or go the other way with it and make lower perception players be able to see the high perp PVPer in a way that if they can see you, you can see them. But that would end up kinda giving the sprucecap an early warning system when a player pops up on the map outside of their normal view distance.

You need perception for tracking. It's not the most important stat on a fighter, but those who are actively looking for a fight don't neglect it completely either.

Loftar said the sight/render distance is a limitation right now

While I would love for naked fucking alts to not be necessary and even punished when used as scouts, this would hurt you people more than you realise, cause you don't grind perception and exploration and some of you still have 200 statted shit characters 6 months in, when people are at 2k stats

FOnline had a similar system. Personally, I find it interesting
However, characters with low Perception couldn't detect distant players and were easily killed.

Adding a spyglass as an item kicks it up a notch. Picture this: you craft or find it maybe glass lenses, wood or metal for the frame and when you right click or equip it, your view distance spikes.
