Ranger Archive

Taken from Ken's test data summary from the corr boards:

Flash Bomb:

Suposed to blind targets (AOE)

• No debuff icon/timer


• Can be retrapped before effectruns out (probly because no debuff icon)

Sonic Pulse:

Duh - reading comprehension ftw! I listed these in the issue thread as well (I can't follow instructions sorry), but I'm going to list them here again:

bug: you can camo people over long distances and from other planets.

bug: terrain does not update correctly when you drop a camp (low priority).

bug: shuttles, droids, at-sts, and some npcs show up under areatrack as 'creatures' and not 'people'

I discovered last night that you can no longer initiate combat with a trap. It used to be you could

• Approach creature with no aggro
• Get in trapping range
• Throw trap

used to mean you'd actually throw a trap, which would work or not, and cause aggro or not, and thereby start combat or not, and so on.

But now, no trap gets thrown - you don't lose a charge, and there is no success/failure message. But "combat" is initiated, in that after the trap's normal cooldown timer, you let off a default attack if one is set. So it becomes

• Get in trapping range
• Use "throw" command on trap
• Stand there doing nothing for a few seconds
• Shoot the animal

Also it would appear PDarts now works as they're supposed to, as snares. Someone please tell me that means AdMesh was fixed too?

Owen got PWNED!!!one!1!

lol you cheaky git

Well, Oreet, you know that you and your race HAS to be the reason we've never gotten a Ranger hat, because they'd need to have two kinds, one for the rest of us, and one with two ear-holes, or whatever those things on the top of your head are.

Owen, have you found out whether or not our camo is a percentile yet? That could also be another potential bug.

Wasn't there an instance that you asked Thunderhart if Camoflauge was a straight modifier or a percentage, since we cap at +100 for Master Ranger alone? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

Crates of traps are described as "a crate of electronic components"

Nice catch bio.

Regarding camo: TH and the devs dont generally give away the details regarding changes if they can so this has never been explained. However from reports here on the ranger boards, people have noticed improvements in success vs failure rates when they increase their camo mods. This makes it sound like camo does infact increase the chances of success, but clothes would cap at a +25 increase.
