Thread: Just when you thought it was safe... MORE Publish 20 Patch Notes!
C'mon Angus. You know that one of these publishes they'll fix traps. I mean just lookwhat's on TC. Rangers no longer perform any animation that shows them throwinga trap. I believe we'll soon see the traps "fixed" to the point where the Ranger will be rooted for 20 seconds, all traps will now sparkle in the air, but will produce no effect on creatures. Should a Ranger try to move or do anything for those 20 seconds, they will accidentaly thrown the trap straight up and it will land on their heads. The only things Ranger traps will effect will be the Ranger themselves, when they throw the trap straight up.
Other than that...an excellent job as always.

I heard through the botrhan spynet that the plan for rangers was sitting on TH's desk, so I camo'ed up a smuggler friend and snuck him to Tigg's window (she's got one, TH doesn't) and while Tiggs was out pouncing on JFreeman for responding to a poll, he snuck in through the window and managed to smuggle out Ranger Plan V1.0.0.0.2.c (Dunno if the info you have is newer or older than this one).
Here's the Transcript
Publish 20: *Fix* Pop Tarts, leave all other traps broken and/or worthless
Publish 21: Make Camo actually effective for crafters and won't draw agro when it breaks but to balance it, break more often for rangers than anyone else.
Publish 22: *what, you're still here?*
Publish 23: Scout Revamp:
* As novice scout, only way to get scoutxp is through camping and fishing, /harvest command moved to hunting 4
* Successful masking of scent no longer grants scoutXP, that was too exploitable
* Since Ranger took more skillpoints than any other profession, Novice Ranger now only requires Survival4 and Trapping4, bringing it in-line with other professions. Since /harvest is no longer required as a prereq for Ranger, all creature related skillmods removed.
* Trapping now works equally well on NPCs, other players, and creatures (it worked equally well before - not doing anything, but now they get to waste several combat turns and some resources tossing them at NPCs and players now instead of a message that that can't be trapped).
* Ranger Conceal now works like jedi cloak, removing players from the map and world, but is broken on the slightest movement or within 64m of any in-world creature including the non-targettable frogs and flies. Any Ranger doing an areatrack within 500m or surveying artisan, or seeker droid launched on this planet also causes it to break. To prevent exploits, trying to attack immediately reveals you, makes all nearby creatures aggressive to you and adds a 30 second windup timer to any combat move.
Publish 24: *what, you're still here?*
Publish 25: *Pida, when are you going to get the hint!?!? Free respec out, we'll remind you every time you cross a server boundary till you do, this is your last warning*
Publish 26: You have been sufficiently warned. Everyone with Master Ranger box automatically gets non-Ranger skills converted to FS and Jedi on our randomly generated template, and is automatically placed as top entry on every page of the Bounty Hunter bounty terminal and Jedi bounty terminal page showing your name and a 500k payout. Does not go away after death unless Master Ranger is dropped, at which point your character gets deleted and you can start over on this server if you so choose. Character name will be marked unavailable ad-infinium.

Commando
- Reduced damage of all Commando weapons by 90 percent, and added a 3000 meter blast radius because it's really funny to watch you run after aggroing everything on the planet.
Funniest thing Ive read since George Dubs went spouting about " raw strategery"..........
Smuggler
- To prevent Smuggling contentfrom reaching the forums, we have un-banned Beer and Pie. However, threads about alcaholic abuse will still be locked and/or deleted.
- All slicing now requires Rogues Toolkit, this item will be implimentedat a later date.
Ranger

Dancer
- Removed certification to wear clothing. As well, certification cannot be obtained again by picking up a Novice skill. This is to prevent exploitation.
- Removed the 10% exp and faction bonus from the Insperation buff due to personal issues. Furthermore, Insperation willcap Crafting Experimentationat 30.
Omg, sorry SOE, it was the peer pressure. Hehehe, these are so funny. I almostdied laughing at the "Pistols can no longer be fired" one, got strange looks from my family when I fell off my chair...
Wow, can't believe I fell for that one.
I also can't believe I made 22 million credits in the last week and a half from our only working skill tree
