Bug: Traps states do not work as intended.

Example: L darts do not dizzy creatures to the point they are unable to rise after being knocked down. AoE traps do not effect groups, instead they effect only the target creature.

Bug: Examine is not working.

Bug: Areatrack often returns spurious results or misses creatures in plain sight.

Bug: Rescue is broken as peace is no longer an option in the game.

Bug: Creature to hit bonuses do not appear to affect the base chance to hit creatures.

Bug: The laser fence in the camps are inoperative, and have been since day 1. Creatures can and will wander in to fight.

And that is just off the top of my head, without any serious thought.

How do we know if something is working as intended?

• Adhesive Mesh traps are not rooting.


• Sonic Pulse traps are not affecting any creatures but the one they are thrown at.


• Camo Kits being applied remove buff icons from the character's HAM.


• Creatures on Kashyyyk are not making Camo or Mask Scent checks before attacking.


• Creature Harvesting skill tapes are not increasing the amount harvested.


• Rescue is not working. /Peace is no longer in the game, and that was made a requirement.


• Camps are not repelling aggressive creatures.

I'm fairly certain Camo is not working as intended, but since we don't have a clear indication of what's intended or how it's *supposed* to work we can't really know, can we? Well, it's certainly not logical or consitent that I can tell as I'm sure many of us remember being able to hit numlock on dath after applying camo and walk the planet without getting agro one some days and other days just hitting /mask would cause every kreetle on the planet to insta-warp to you (just kidding).

Crawling on Kash with a Kash camo kit on can get me agroed from 40m+ by a gotal hunter (never got a ? ! above his head either) while in the shadowlands but then I can burstrun past all the mobs and not get agro. Concealment never "breaks" he just incaps me over and over till I'm dead (which I prefer to think the mud doesn't fall off your face just becuase one person saw you and started running after you, though if you're in hand-to-hand combat sure).

Edit: yea, What Bioengine said... (details kept for clarification)

Bug: Some NPCs show up in areatrack under the animal category

Bug: Forage never finds unique and interesting items (should find crystals and flawless pearls on the ground around the nightsisters and krayts, I think... NEVER as a loot drop)

kryat dung piles......sorryi couldn't resist

Foraging modifiers should count for something other than success ratio, which I know for a fact isn't working 100% of the time at Master Ranger even with my +5 foraging tape I found on a vendor once.

There are no experimentation points shown on the skill trees for Camo Kits.

Your camo modifier is the experimentation points for camo kits. So watch out for the 14 point Bothan crafters (although I don't think I've ever used more than 8 points to craft a kit).

Dang, guess I need a +25 Camo CA to throw in my Twi-Lek Ysrak I crafted, to go along with the +25 Music BF healing and +25 Trapping tape

Well the droid problem is a bug so it will go on here. If you want to post in the issues thread too and just mention that you dont think that harvester droids are up to the task etc and how you would have it (like what bonuses IF ANY) would you give to players using these droids that would be great.

Honestly I don't know if our traps are bugged or not I think our modifiers are so bad that we throw an effective trap and it still doesn't bring our target down to our level, I was hunting with my jedi friend when we found out that my flash grendades and sonic pulses work lovely for him...his damage take decreased so much he didn't even need to avoid incap when surrounded by an entire lair of 81 level banthas. In my opinon maybe are traps have not improved with the change of cu so that maybe they need to be strengthened to actually effect a creature properly....or else maybe we are that bad off that we can't notice it even after we effect a creature. Can't tell you which of these theorys are correct could be both of them

1. Adhesive Mesh Trap: Currently does nothing but cause aggro



2. Harvesting: Lately I have been unable to harvest on occassion. Sporadically, I can't harvest or loot a corpse but really haven't been able to figure out what causes this - it seems quite random.



3. HTFB: As per the description on the HTFB, the camp is supposed to reped aggro. It does no such thing.



4. Instant Aggro on /mask or /camo break: Don't know if this got fixed in Pub 20, but when your mask would break, you would be instantly aggro'd. This, I don't think, is "working as intended".



5. Harvest Droids Not stacking with Group Bonus: self explanatory



6. Tracking hole at 100m: Tracking seems to have a "hole" at 100m where you can be staring at a con but it still isn't picked up by /areatrack.


7. Creature Harvesting CAs: Currently provide no bonus to your creature harvesting
