Ranger Archive

I was in a good hunting group yesterday, had a great time. It was the first time i was the only ranger in the group, and i could actually use my skills to help the group. Tracking was great to find those creatures we were sepcifically looking for, and when i set up my field base, the medics in the group were finaly puttin the crafting station to use.

We were on Tatooine, and were making our way to the squill cave. All the way, my traps were working fine. As soon as i stepped foot into the cave though, i was having problems. In my queue menu, when i throw the trap, it seems as if the Throw Trap command gets stuck in the command queue....and just stayed there. The trap was thrown, but it was like the command got stuck. After combat ended, and we went further into the cave. The plan was for me to throw the first trap, and we work em down from a-far.....well we found a Squill Guardian, i target em.....go to throw the trap....and i got nothing. I was dissapointed because i traveled a pretty good way and was expecting to get some good trap xp...(hoping to reach lvl 4) but i got nothing. It was definatley not a total waste, because i still had a great time, andI understand there are still going to be bugs, but i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem? Thanks for readin this everyon =) Good Hunting

The same problem happened to me about 4 weeks ago in the Beetle caves. No traps could be tossed. However, after I loged back in the next day, I noticed that the traps I thought I didn't toss were gone. I didn'tcheck to see if there was a diffrence in trapping XP after the fact, but the traps were just GONE. Lag, bug, limitation - your guess is as good as mine. Looks like the recent patch didn't correct this. IMHO, lure the squills out and trap them outside if you REALLY need the trapping XP.

Happy Hunting!

Hmm... I get the same bug all the time and I've just gotten used to it so I ignore it. It shows in my attack queue that I'm going to hit with a trap even though I'm not going to. Any other attack just lines up behind it and disappears, but the trap one doesn't.

I wonder if the trapping in caves thing has to do with the fact it's a community or that the squills are humanoid? I thought they were creatures. Must be the cave. I'm going to try this out tonight and see what happens.
