WHat's up with trap launcher?
WHat's up with trap launcher?
Did they change the mechanic on this when I wasn't looking? Every time I try to throw an ice trap, I get an 'Invalid Target' error and no reticule to drop it. Frankly, I can't get Trap Launcher to work with anything.
Bug? New mechanic? What's the deal, anyone know?

Yeah, it's been doing that for me too. I have no idea.
Re: WHat's up with trap launcher?
My traps use the launcher by default now. I can't remember if I glyphed for that or it's just the way they work now. Either way I never click on the trap launcher button any more, but the trap itself. Is that what you're doing?

I turn on TL, which seems to be an aura rather than how it used to be.
Then I go to the flyout (since all traps are in the flyout now) and when I select the ice trap, it goes 'DONK' and says 'Invalid Target'

Yeah, it's like a toggled aura now. Or like Righteous Fury.

I'm pretty sure the flyout never worked since beta day 1. Just go to your spellbook and open the trap flyout, and drag them individually to your action bars.
Re: WHat's up with trap launcher?
That would be why it works for me then. I've always used individual buttons. I had no idea the flyout existed. Sounds like just as well

Same here! This is the first time I've heard about a flyout. I...might have copied my WTF settings from live so I wouldn't spend an hour fiddling with buttons. <.<;

I should remember to do this...Ziarre wrote:Same here! This is the first time I've heard about a flyout. I...might have copied my WTF settings from live so I wouldn't spend an hour fiddling with buttons. <.<;
Anyway, I noticed the flyout my own self, though I haven't used traps for anything but catching pets and soloing dungeons. And considering I always do those by laying them at my feet (i.e. no use of Trap Launcher) I haven't even had a single problem yet. I didn't even know there was a difference in how the launcher worked yet.
For the record, yes. This means if you're not launching traps, the flyout works fine. If you *are* launching traps... not so much so, apparently.

Come see Kurasu's stables!
