Thread: Noob Question What is a pot-tart?

I never did consider myself pathetic, but hey, I can't help it if I am crosseyed. Here is me clicky Now, I can't help it that I am number 197, a little bit shorter, and has a problem swallowing. It is how God made me. Now, if I want to go out and use the trap I earned as a scout/ranger to kill a big beastie, whom by the way I have nightmares about, I think I have that right. Now to get my diaper changed...
P.S. here, have a fresh Poop-tart
Conspiracy??huh?...who? where?.....Poptarts???adhesive mesh??? yeah yeah thats what it is....poptarts are the adhesive mesh....(waits for devs to fix wrong trap).....ahhh, now my (other) poptart and I can go hunt. Huh?...whose watching me?????? I am a ranger....I can sense you.....uh...ohh, just the wind.... or was it?
As far as our crying about it....think about this....adhesive mesh is bugged to since it doesnt work.....So we have one 2 broken traps that I am ok with being broken. And as far as being afraid the nerf gun is going to be pointed to it,....it will. And it will get fixed at some point in time. But if you think that this one thing being broken makes up for 11 others things being nerfed.....then you rant and you rave and you say I am using exploits.... Youare probably a spoonfed Jedi that thinks that being Jedi means that you should be invincible.... (IE all powerful)....figured I would slow that down for you. Poptarts will be fixed when they revamp Ranger....the devs know about the trap.....but seriously.....they are never gonna revamp ranger....lol....so you spoonfed Jedi are stuck with us poptart throwing masters of the wild.
(looks at monkey....)....."well of course we are going to fling poo at him..."

Master Ranger (and not because of poptarts)
Pride of Lowca
PS....if you do not want to share your name.....stay off our boards
Gray without going into a bunch of histrionics The P-darts is the only trap that serves a major function for a ranger hunting.
Now no one is stopping anyone from talking about nerfing the P-dart in fact when we all first noticed the problem most of us bugged the issue and made the devs aware of the problem.
The P-Dart recieved a stealth nerf this past week sometime around Wednesday or Thursday. As we have made everyone aware on this board. P-darts still have the prema- snare issue when used to solo by a Master Ranger.
However when grouped and under a few other conditions snares will break quite often. So prema snare is not full proof anymore.
As far as Pop-tarts as slang it was a funny joke to liven the mood around here since the CU hit. I figure we Ranger deserve a break. Alot has happened in the last 30 days and not much love has come to my fellow Rangers.
Maybe in a month or two we will see some attention.
Again Pop-tarts is just what stuck that day. The day it all got started there were alot of post in gest about not talking about it to avoid the Nerf bat.
Do you really believe the Scout and RangerRepresentatives have not brought this up to the Devs? I know bugs have been submitted on this. I have submitted bugs, alot of Rangers have done so also.
We want this as fixed as much as we want to see camps fixed, the rest of our traps fixed, camouflage fixed, tracking fixed, Some defense and Offense mods applied, and a plethora of other tweaks and upgrades to make us viable in the futrue.
Now pardon us for using a tool we have available at this time. We want to have as much fun as the next person. We are the current Master Hunter. We are the Apex predator in the wilds. Not a Jedi. Not a Commando. Not a Bounty Hunter. But a Ranger.
Yes a Ranger is the master in the wilds. As it should be.

But, if you can't laugh at all the Gorax/Krayt soloing morons coming here and pounding their chests about it, well then you need help. (For those who haven't used them or seen them used, you can litterally solo anything that you can land the trap on with this bug - heck you can walk away and have coffee once it stops being able to move...)As for the name change, call me a traditionalist - its been a p-dart or phec dart for the better part of two years..it didn't need a new code phrase.This BROKEN trap needs to be talked about right along with all the other broken/useless traps. Why? Because if not, its either going to get "fixed" while all the others stay broken..or they are just going to make all high end content untrappable and screw over every ranger royally.
I'd hate to agree with this guy, but I do.
There is no mention of it in the pub 19 notes, on the test center or in development notes, I have been unable to get any response about it via ticket or chat room. Luckily at trapping level 3 you get pop-tarts so you can get some trapping xp without being forced to use a droid and dweezel, now that you've dropped 60 levels.
