Trap Triigers


Khalid the bear

Question

Beside Trap trigger area being small compared to traps found in game (and not dependent on Mechanic level or inteligence) they are unreliable/unclear

example in screenshots: woedicas Headsman Clearly standing/walking ower two traps, none of which triggered

(at the same time (not covered in screnshots)  Woedicas judge triggered 2 traps

It seems that traps trigger correctly, but at a slight delay (around 2-3 seconds). Also, the trap effect is applied not in the trap area, but at the current location of the enemy triggering it first.

Especially when fighting fast enemies, this is a minor problem, because the enemies "pull" the AoE effect from the trap with them towards your melees. I always have to compensate for that a little by placing the traps farther out so that enemies can't reach my frontline until the trap effect triggers correctly.

 

Nevertheless traps are awesome!

 not every time, in case i screenshoted, traps didnt triger att all, and i colected them after the fight

Might be a problem with the size of the enemies or two traps triggering at the same time. I've been using traps quite a lot and they always triggered for me (though not always on the enemy I thought it would).

i'have also heard the theory that the enemy has to pass trough the center of the trap

if either is true, its maybe not a bug, but an issue that still has to be adressed
