So Iseult you tested the P-Dart care to test the rest?

Greenmarine mentioned that he thought a fix was going into pub20 for the rest of the traps. We need to send in someone to test them.

Already been in and done them on TC-Prime. No noticable changes other than to P-darts. The rest still work as well as before.
Also, unless there's been a hotfix in the past 4 hours, no changes as to how trapping XP was to be calculated, also indicated as a P20 issue by GM in that same thread.
TC-Bloodfin toon is still an ubernewb with minimal skills. Not grinding him up much more than already have as am needed elsewhere.

Flame me if you want. But the P-dart issue was gamebreaking. Its why we are a FOTM profession right now. Remove the P-dart from our box of tricks and watch all the respec rangers run for the hills.
No, sadly they'll whine and complain.

TRAPPING XP! and not to mention the fact that the ONLY 'WORKING AS INTENED' skill we have is F'ing terrain negotiation!The only reason we got 'attention' is because we had a skill that was bugged AND PISSING EVERYONE ELSE OFF! (except us, we knew it needed fixing, but we werent pissed about it).but nothing in our proffession has been fixed that WE are pissed about. how many publishes past the CU are we going to be once 20 hits live? 4, 5?i dont mean to personally insult any fellow rangers, but, would you please get off the dammed pdar issue and start adressing the REAL issues here.
Hmm, lets see, find the important part... ah heck, I'll just QFE the whole post.

The only reason we have the CL increase is because we had to make as loud of a noise as the Jedi about it on every thread we could.
That was never enough, that was only what we thought we could get.
You people need to stop "settling for less." Who here thinks that another profession has more aspects of it that are borked / broken? Hrm? And yes, I do mean combat profession. Which includes combat and combat supportive. We were pushed outside of the scope of the CU, then pushed further back by these publishes. Which professions were to receive several little additions / fixes? Smuggler / Ranger / Squad Leader? Well, where is any of that in this publish? Hrm? They aren't even working on our profession. They probably couldn't find anyone in their staff willing to test the trapping problem, so one guy stated what they were going to try to do and just didn't try hard enough to complete.
I can agree with sicksix that they need to fix our darts.....but is that all they plan on doing for us?.....fixing the one thing that makes a broken prof work even halfway decent>?....I heard they were going to fix ad mesh at the samtime....what happened to that?.....Owen, I know that you do not know all the DEVs are doing, but what happened to fixing admesh and Phec darts at the same time?......If we make money on harvesting, why can scouts and BHs out harvest us?.....currently the only source of income we have is through selling tissues and pearls that we get while using a bugged trap. Just my opinion.
Devs....one way or the other......please tell us WHAT IS GOING ON.....
A combat stacker can out harvest us solo hunting,in some circumstances over time because they can kill faster than us. I agree with you in that. However, in group hunting NO one person will out hravest a Master Ranger ever. In fact it may even take several party members to even contribute as much as the Master Ranger does in that regards. I participated in a full 8 toon hunting group on Lok this week and I received 928-938 hide from every Gurk we killed without the use of food. While I admit I did not add much firepower to the group with 7 other people I did not need to. But I more than made up for my slot in the group via the harvesting mod to the group and my personal stack of hide which had I been able to play the full duration with the hunting group would have easily dwarfed any none Rangers stack of hide. So in solo play yes we are not the supreme hunters but in group play we more than make up for our slot if the group is looking to maximize their harvest. In my case the entire group was working to benefit one person so we did quite well.
