Does the 'to hit' bonus apply whilst moving or only standing still?

What benefits are likely to be seen in camps for the 28 skill points spent in them?

Is there a plan to fix /throw <trap>?

Why was it felt there was a need to render Camoflauge ineffective against NPCs (PvP issues, general game balance)?

Most importantly, given the wide community backing which ideas in the OUTDOORSMAN proposal are the Devs prepared to consider and which do they consider non-starters?

As you have said above, what are the 'target' timescales for fixing different aspects of the profession (i.e. for those of use who enjoy the concept of being a Ranger but wish for skills more useful than just using scout traps (nor Ranger ones) for soloing how long are we expected to 'hang in there')?

I reckon all that anyone really wants to know at the end of the day is what aspects of the profession are the Devs considering making more useful and some idea of the timescales.

Q -When will we be getting new traps, or the current traps fixed?

The last trap in a stack problem persists. Ranger traps are about useless.

Q - When will camps actually work as advertised?

Creature repel fence by happy butt, it attracts rasps.

Two for the MasterBlaster, wore my brain out

When are we going to get a /conceal that works as described and is markedly better than mask scent, currently it is on again off again for NPC's

When are we going to get the new traps that were suggested a few months ago?

All other questions have been addressed by other community members

NRaas and Wideshot have asked all the questions I would like to have answered, but to me the most important one is this:

Thanks!

1) Will the "to hit" bonus be applied to special attacks?

So... No one has any questions about the current implementation?

All the "when will this be fixed..." questions pretty much fall into the same category, and it would be a shame to have a questionaire that looks like:

1. When will A be fixed?


2. When will B be fixed?


3. When will C be fixed?


4. When will D be fixed?


5. ....

Unfortunately the current implementation has nothing in it that can be considered truly effective, therefore the majority of question will pertain to the remedies of existing issues, more so than how things work.

We know how things work - THEY DON'T

Ok, they asked for our input - let us turn that around -

Q - What is the dev'sconcept of the Ranger profession's role in PvP and the GCW.

okie dokie??
