This will hopefully be fixed soon to remove the perma root effect as it has been /bug reported, sent to Tiggs, and sent through the support forums as a possible exploit.

Nothing to see here move along.

Boy, all the respec rangers are gonna be po'd when that bug gets fixed... lol. Sadly tho it will take a while since I reported in beta, on forums and on Live bug reports. Still ingame. Sad.

lol - you mean all six of them?

But for what it's worth - even if they fix the perma-stick issues, the trap will still be fairly powerful, esp. if you get used to timing it so another trap will land just when the last one wears off (and keep your KD shot in reserve in case a miss a trap or two). One good thing the CU did for us was that it lowered the relative level of creatures so that it was possible for us to land traps on them. Before the CU I could never trap a dragon, now I can trap them 95% of the time.

Right now the situation we have is that one trap seems to work too well and that things have changed so that we can actually land it. My hope is that they fix the first thing but leave the second relatively intact. Then we'll still be able to take on high-level things, but it will involve a lot more skill, coordination, and timing.

Bio,

I can understand getting caught up in the P-Dart mania initially becuase Ranger has been borked for so long the dart almost seems like justice initially. But really after the first Krayt or two you realize that we went from broken to fixed with what is technically an exploit at worst. I am actually surprised that the "Ranger is a lifestyle not a profession" crowd here continues to support this bugged trap and even more surprised that both Owen and Calc are supporting the bug through silent indifference. I want this profession fixed but not through an exploitable trap.

Yet again QFE.

And yeah, that quote above is borked... I was confused staring at it.. lol.

From a wilderness appreciation point of view I never ever attempted to solo a krayt before or after the CU. It just seems wrong.

If the trap landed a temp state fine but since it roots permanently its exploiting a bug. I understand alot of "old school" Rangers are enjoying this bug and I have used it too mainly for escape. Using the excuse of us being ignored for so long is well beneathe what I thought was the Ranger code of honor. We went from unbuffed unarmored solo hunters using tactics to now locking a target in place unlike it was meant to work and plugging away with zero tactics.

who knows mabye its one of those ranger bugs that they won't care about for months on end like the camp chair warp bug.
