What a stupid nickname for that trap.
The Phenecine Dart was nicknamed the P-Dart because the first word is hard to say. Great then some fun loving krayt and gorax killer comes in and calls it a "Pop-Tart" and it sticks for some unknown stupid reason.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out when snare and root are fixed

Your right Calc i spelled it wrong. Which is the reason its called a P-Dart. Its probaly some hidden reference to a meal they served in the Prisoner or something. Since it seems almost everything is named after some kind of inside joke.

I use sonic pulses against all the big bads, too. Not a great deal of extra damage, but every little bit helps. And it makes a sound that impresses everybody who hears it. Men will respect you, women will admire you, and both will invite you to their next party, all on the basis of that sound.

no one knows if ad mesh is working because our little not so secret does it regardless.,....
Personally I would be ok, if they fixed it (though not the way some want it fixed. ) It is a trap so should not have a timer on it for reuse.... in other words....fix ad mesh and P dart.....and when the creature escapes one let us go into with another. And give us some traps that work for PvP.....dang man....Throw us a bone here.....I am tired of having to make our own.
Here is the COLD HARD TRUTH.....ready?
You are way more limited as a Ranger than you nonrangers think. You can all master 2 and a half professions.... MBH/MC/CM 4000....
But Ranger takes more skill points than ANY other profession compared to what we get in return.(you cannot compare Jedi since ALL jedi skills arer in their prof, and they have a much diversified realm to spend those points. Here is my skill tree....ready?
Master Ranger.....Master Rifleman. DONE. No healing.....no root shot (other than traps), no PvP bonuses, no nothing. See, BHs can go into carbineer or pistol AND throw some into CM, or another ranged prof. Same with any other prof...but us?....in order to get to CL 80, we are forced to master a second elite tree thus stripping us of any diverse skills. Yes, I can solo any creature in the game currently. but you know what?......For what it has cost me...I SHOULD BE ABLE TOO. For the amount of points I lost because of having to master scout just in order to GET to Ranger, I should be MASTER of the wild. I am not bitter. I do not hate anyone...but I am getting very purturbed when some spoonfed Jedi marches by and says I am using an exploit. Currently your whole prof is anexploit. Master Defenders are seemingly invincible (as long as avoid incap has no timer anyway) I love playing a ranger. I am making due with what limited things I have been granted. And if you have a problem with that.....
(looks at monkey)......."well of course we are going to fling poo at him"

I decided to head to tat and see how this pop tart thing was working lately... I used them once solo and they seemed to work but my damage output is so low (MCH/MR) that it takes an hour to take down a Juvi, but I hadn't seen it work with any group I've been with yet on any krayts, though I have seen others use them on gualamas.
I used a couple pop-tarts on an adolescent I ran into but as soon as I started doing damage it started moving albeit slowly. I tried tossing a glow-wire (hit wrong hotkey) and got the message "this trap can only be used on creatures". Tossed a couple more Pop-tarts at it and tried to get some distance, but it eventually broke free from the slow movement and incapped me (no, I maintained LOS so it wasn't that). After healing-up I tried again and got the "this trap can only affect creatures" message for all the traps I tried including the P-Dart from the crate I had been using. After THAT incap, I tried to setup a camp to rest and rethink the plan and the camps automatically and immediately disbanded now.
Relogging fixed the camp auto-disband, but all traps including the P-dart would give the "this trap can only affect creatures" message.

I'm getting NPCs showing up in areatrack animals a lot more now also, and I think i've seen animals in the people list. Maybe a problem with their registered type.
The pop-tart did not work on the evil hermit that showed up on track as an animal, but did work on the eopie that was right next to him that was not on track.

hmm, my track worked fine tonight, possibly you are just selecting the wrong one? Just a thought, might wanna double check yourself, and if you have, I have no idea whatsoever.
