I assume I'm the last one to notice this but we can throw traps while prone, with a nice animation of propping up on one elbow and tossing the trap. How long have we been able to do this ( and please don't say "since publish 12" )?
Good hunting and clear skies.

Yeah, now if only they could sort out the areatrack animation on a vehicle. It was changed when they made it so people with weapons equipped still appeared to be driving. For some reason they disabled every part of the body except the right arm, and of course areatrack is done with the left. I know we're not supposed to be able to use it while mounted but come on. If we're able to apply a complex camoflauge on a vehicle I'm sure we can lift our arm off the wheel to have a look around!

We can apply complex camo while in motion, driving, but you can't mask scent. How's that for makeing sense? sigh.
Oh and does anyone else wish we could actually *not* do that boyscout type emote for area track but maybe oh I don't know... scan the ground...

Considering our /areatrack isn't good enough to garner a scan of the ground, I'd say a boyscout 'stare off into the distance' emote as it is now works effectively. When tracking gets fixed to be more effective, so should the emote. heh
