I've just about had my fill with this bug, Are ya'll getting this? Today, getting avian meet from Kaadus.... Going prone is an almost impossibilty in some of these spots!

Just about the time you get into perfect range to start bleeding them-- zip you're 90m away!.... Get up, go back up there, get prone, crawl to good spot zip!

The last few days have been almost unbearable. Is this not something any of you other face in the weeds Rangers have come across! I've been waiting but not seeing a post on makes me wonder if one, i'm the only one who goes prone and sneaks into a good firing range (which I doubt), two, there's something warping bad in my cable connection that just affects my character and not the world, (eeeehhh, don't think so) or three, maybe I'm just losing my mind and I'm just hunting in my sleep and haven't woke up yet (loosing my mind is a possiblity).

Sorry, the frustration level is raising and I'd truly hate to not get prone for some of these critters, you know?

Thanks all!

Yeah I feel your pain. With some of the changes they have been making lately I haven't been playing much. In a way I am grateful I am getting a life again. Hopefully things will get better soon.

I am getting pretty freaking annoyed at this as well.

It is makes being a Rifleman almost unplayable at times.

Go prone, fire, then *POP*, you're 90m away... or worse, you're teleported underneath the creature!

It's actually been reported countless times. Happens when you drop right from standing to prone. Kneel first, then go prone. That is the work around. I think this doesn't get reported any more because we have all been using the work-around and forgot about it.

Someone might want to mention this to a dev again. I beleave we already have mentioned the Riflemans use of cover makeing a real mess out of movement already for a second time.

It also happens if you go from prone to kneeling.

ya got that right! I was trying everything tonight! finally pulled out Lilith my ever faithful lvl 11 gualaama! stand up fight behind a pet, lol!

I mean it happened now and then in the past, but this week has just been horrible! Maybe they're not paying attention to it since it seems most people just run in blasting away.

Speaking of, doesn't it make you feel just wonderful when you spend 30 minutes or so clearing off a spawn using stealth, seldom get hit, you know feeling good about hunting?

Then a bounty hunter wades in and kills everything in sight in less than five minutes without ever getting touched.

Why am I a Ranger again? Hmmm, Novice Scout to be BH. Cuts down on the hunting time. Thinking about joining that side of life..... but i'm still not sure about giving up healing myself and what not.

Help me Rangers! The last 2 days I've already leveled up into the 4th box of rifle and carbines just in case I go that route...... It's really hard for me to see why I need to heal myself when these guys with these weapons never get hit!

ok sorry, hijacked my own thread! lol!

Ya'll be sweet,

This problem actualy helps me alot sometimes I'll go prone and start shooting my LLC at an imp NPC, he'll switch to melee and start rushing me and before he gets close I *zip* back about 40m, heh.

Yes as someone said, we all experience this. Every char and profession and that stops running and goes prone without waiting. I certainly hope the devs have not forgotten, considering how many posts have been made about it on so many of the forums.

I have been using the work around of stopping and waiting a few seconds before going prone. But yes I have noticed it's been worse this weekend. It even happens if I stop, wait 5 seconds and hit my dive shot, which puts me in prone. I get my second shot off and WHAM, I"m back 20m.

Very annoying. And I have been afraid to try /takecover since with above 50 points in terrain negotiation, you are unable to run after using it. Thus any ranger using /takecover. Anyone know if that's still broken?
