Thread: Any word on Krayt Dragons?
As long as they fix all our others traps at same time. It's a sad state of affairs that I have to rely on acurrently bugged trap to be able to hunt effectively at the moment

No one should be able to solo a krayt dragon. Including jedi. I hope they fix the phen dart bug soon. Doubt it tho. I reported it way back in beta and still nothing.
When Sony fixes the rest of the traps is when I want them to fix the P-dart and not until then.
We are so gimped at this point even a bugged trap is better thana trap not working.
This trap does not affect PvP and should remain a low level bug until Rangers are addressed as a whole.

So you want them to fix a special that is the only thing that keeps us alive? I dont understand people like you who rather have our whole profession crap than to have one thing to help us. That is the only thing we have right now, other than that, ranger is nothing but a skill sink.

Ancients: 94, Grands: 90, Adolescent Grands: 81?
Two of my friends and I took out the 5 in the graveyard today... one of them DID drop armor cores, so... they're dropping at least something again. It appears that they are breaking traps, although, not sure if this is because of being grouped with other professions or not. I'll have to try soloing something later.
On a side note.... if you kill an Ancient... you now get a new badge!!! "Ancient Krayt Dragon Hunter" Woohoo! Not sure if the 3 of us were the first on Corbantis to get it or not. 
Man, that is the title I wanted for rangers for completing a ancient krayt mission.

I would say the smaller Krayts could still be soloed, but the grands and ancients seem to have such a high regen rate, that you'd have to have some SERIOUS firepowerand action pool management to be able to take one by yourself.
As far as the trapping goes... it does seem to work alot better if you're hunting alone. I got to some kimo's after the krayts, and was able to keep them trapped, but as soon as my friends caught up and engaged, the kimo broke the trap. Kinda makes for an interesting situation... those who claim that rangers should be the "big game solo hunters" could do it now with the trapping, but will need the firepower to bring them down. Most of the time... the p-dart when used in a group acted more like a "root" shot by a pistoleer - it wore off fairly quickly. I'm not sure if there are any actions by players that caused it to break... it seemed to break once when I went "prone" after trapping a creature. More testing needs to be done.

Wrong.
I want Ranger to be fixed. I have been hanging out and helping out this profession well before you stumbled in here. I want Ranger to work correctly. I dont want to have to rely on BUGS to succeed in the game. When someone can kneecap shot a krayt dragon and toss a phen dart that roots it permanently thats just lame.
Thats like saying its cool to exploit. Whatever lets you win I guess. Easy kills=no thrill for me.
