I believe I saw a post on this a few days ago, but I found out last night the hard way, that traps only work when they are in your main inventory. Not sure about others, but use small packs to organize my inventory. I have one for traps, medical supplies, and camo kits. I keep all my traps in the one, but if they are there, they will not throw. Not if put into hotkey, and not if I open that pack and choose throw radial menu.


I tested this several times last night going back and forth. That is after I nearly died, because by Adhesive Mesh didnt throw. I'm betting there has not been a big hadoo about this because, not everyone uses seperate packs, and traps are pretty much usless once you get to a certain point.


Not sure if this was an accident that was not intentional, or on purpose. But either way it needs to be changed. I tell you Delta, more and more lately I serioulsy considers dropping at least ranger, and maybe some of scout, these days. They are just not fulfilling enough anymore, especially Ranger. The droid thing is OK, but not enough Wow for me to stay, and things like this trapping deal just annoy the crap out of this veteran scout.

Perhaps this was a change to encourage the use of trapping droids?

Whether it is or not, I find it distressing. Traps are limited enough in use as is.

I've been using traps from hotkeys since I started playing.


Since patch 8, they no longer throw from hotkeys, they no longer throw from inventory.


They will not throw them from a boat, they will not throw them at a goat. They do not like green eggs and ham; they do not like them, Sam I Am.

I definitely can't throw traps from hotkeys at all. I have my traps inside a satchel in my inventory, as well. This is a little frustrating because I'm trying to work on my ranger trapping skills right now. My problems also started with Publish 9 going live.

Guys, its not that you can't throw them using your hotkeys. Its that they won't throw, any method, if the trap itself is not in your main invnetory. What main inventory is, when you press ctrl+I you see the trap in that window. I keep them in a satchel too, and those satchel, unlike backpacks, do take up an inventory slot for everything put in that satchel.


So if you move your traps to your main inventory, your hotkeys for traps will work. But needing to keep traps in main inventory to use them is stupid and annoying.

Guys,


Lemme find out what the deal with this is - because I don't like it either. They should still be used the same as before. I'll see if I can get a response on this issue.

Hey thanks Delta, good buddy. I know you will jump all over this issue, like a pet shop owner in the mid west, wanting to sell monkeys.

Actually, upon further testing, I can't chuck the little buggers at all (from satchel, main inventory, whatever) from a hotkey. I actually use my traps all the time, so this is a bit inconvenient. (Oh, and I meant "Publish *8*" above, not "Publish 9".)


Big ups to Delta and Calculus for looking into this for us.

Delta,


Thanks, hoss. After dealing with the BH correspondant (or not dealing with, as he refuses to show his face), it is nice to see an active correspondant.
