Thread: New Traps ETA?
From the correspondent feedback on 8/19 Holocron states:
The new traps and wayfaring changes are very close to being ready to go, with the tracking and camps to follow some time after.
Any update on their progress? 2 months seems a while for "close to being ready to go". Did the release of /areatrack offest the release of the new traps? Trap details below. They sound great! Thanks

Advanced Trapping
Rangers are getting a whole new trapping system. Instead of throwing their traps at a target like Scouts, Rangers will deploy their traps on the ground. Each trap will have a different kind of effect. Here are some examples:
Heavy Claw Trap - In order to use this trap, you'll need to draw a creature across it. When the creature draws near enough, the heavy claw trap snaps shut, rooting the creature. The stronger the creature, the more likely it will eventually work itself free.
Lure - A lure can be filled with meat or greens to attract nearby creatures. A creature who detects a lure might break off from its packmates to inspect it.
Tripwire - The tripwire trap can be laid against NPCs as well as creatures. A target who runs across the tripwire will be knocked on his back for a short time.
These unique traps should increase the Ranger's effectiveness soloing and in groups.
When Do We Get It
I hope to have the implementation of these new features wrapped up soon, but since the Ranger is getting a lot of new functionality to make up for a weak initial skill set, it may take a bit longer to get these features to you. The new traps and wayfaring changes are very close to being ready to go, with the tracking and camps to follow some time after.
Doh. Just read Nraas' response to the ETA on /track saying ETA's are hard to come by. Well maybe we can put this one on the issues or list of questions for the devs.
These were from GREEN MARINE before they moved him back to fix smuggler. Don't know if anyone is working on this now, since some many professions are broken and there is only one
