get ready to go postal. Tiggs posted that pub 20 is going to rear it's ugly head soon, and it's clear from the testing that the devs didn't work on the Adhesive Mesh trap at all. Unfortunately, I think it's clear that all of the bad things about trapping are going to be staying with us. Perhaps they'll be addresed in another publish soon. I hope so, but I've learned that holding my breath isn't a very good tactic. 'cause I think you die if you hold your breath for 2 straight years.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

Pakshas kicked ass arguing the whole trapping bugs and issues and single handedly got the xp change addressed so make no mistake about it she wont stop until all the traps are fixed and working. It will just take longer than we want. Fact is the devs give so little feedback its impossible to know what is being worked on, me, paks and the rest do our best to shout the word and pass the communities feelings on but that dont meen they will act upon the voices


Atleast we have proved we can make changes, even small ones and i know for a fact the big momma wook aint gonna stop here. We have 8month before she pops so we have to get as much work out of her as possible

Just finished solo hunting to re-evaluate traps and my conclusion? P-dart is still the most effective trap we have. Kinda sad, huh?


Even with a "working" p-dart, I can still solo lvl 82 mobs, just have to be more careful with krayts. If you find you can't solo hunt (as a ranger/rifleman anyway) as a result of the p-dart being fixed then you aren't putting in enough effort. I just wish the other traps, especially the ad-mesh would work.

/agree Zaene

Yup. The P-Dart is still pretty much our only viable trap as the effects of the others can be more than adequately reproduced using weapon specials, with the added advantage of having done some damage to the target.

Other than some nice audio/visual effects the rest are just comic excuses for getting you trap XP.

Getting Ad-Mesh fixed would at least give us tw Oh crikey. that's pathetic. TWO working traps? And that feels so much like a giant leap forward that I'd be happy about it? Gah, its only 6am and I started the day off in sucha positive mood....

Sorry to bring you down. How about this, they improved cover. Oh wait, that's not a ranger skill is it. Oh well, at least it's bed time for me.

Hehe, np.

I was up at 7am today. Did a bit of grinding on TC & WH toons, then met up with a workmate on Bria and went out hunting for FP.

Even with the modified behaviour of the p-dart, I was having a great time. And as for the improved cover, eeeeh, it were fun.

Which is a word I've not associated withthe game in a while, lol.

(Unfortunatley I then went and did a little crafting and bummed out again.... feh)
