Hey guys, i've been trying to use my flash bomb and i can not see any effect from it, is this broken and if so, can we fix it?

Currently no Ranger traps work, flash bomb included. Don't use them you'll just be wasting time.

Scout line traps work though.

don't even bother with the ranger traps, they rarely work, and when they do they suck anyway. just hold out till the new ranger traps come out.

Nope, I have had mine work, several times. Both affected one creature and at times 2 and more when we were being mob aggro'd. Got xp for all the creatures too, and they were all "stunned and blinded", making so very happy. Think the best I got was 4 in one shot, but I was really busy at the time, dunno. Besides, throwing it in a new group always brings out the ..."What in the name of all that is holy was THAT??!!" comments...snicker snicker

The sonic pulse works too. Altho I can't see it has an area affect, only single beasts.

However, I love pdarts, ldarts, sharp bone spurs, glow wire traps and the stink bombs.

Who throws traps because he can, even tho he is maxed out, because they make him happy

JB:

I've thrown about a hundred of the ranger traps and never noticed a difference at all. You get XP and there's an effect floaty above creature but there is no difference. When you're working MOBs with a party of people it's really hard to tell if there's any effect. I suggest you solo some stuff so you can observe things easier. Unless they made some changes I saw nothing work at all and I have Trapping IV and Engineering IV so I know my traps are the best I can make.

Once you're a master ranger your ranger traps will work much better. But that's just my experiances.

Most of the time my ranger traps do not work. There have been a couple of times, when fighting red conned mobs, that the traps have landed and worked like they were supposed to. But most of the time I throw out a Ranger trap I see the trap graphic, butI get niether a success, or failed message.

The Ranger traps have nifty visual FX, but other than that... eh... You get a message that they were successful, you even get the points, but the critter doesn't ACT blinded or stunned -- they still come right for you -- and they take no damage to any of their HAM bars. I still make a lot of traps and use them, but by far I am still going through the good old sharp bone spurs and Phenacine darts better than double any other trap in the pack. I like the upgraded glow stick traps, too, but you only get 2 per craft and they only work about half of the time, so I don't depend on them.
