April 29, 201510 yr 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!

I've been using traps quite a lot and they always triggered for me (though not always on the enemy I thought it would).

April 29, 201510 yr I think the center of the enemy's selection circle has to be inside the trap area for it to trigger. "Some ideas are so stupid that only an intellectual could believe them." -- attributed to George Orwell
April 29, 201510 yr Author i'have also heard the theory that the enemy has to pass trough the center of the trapif either is true, its maybe not a bug, but an issue that still has to be adressed PIllars of eternty (Hard) 1st playtrough: 155h, 38 m (main Ranger with bear(bow), Eder, Durance(off tank), Hirvais(off tank), Kana(ranged), Aloth/GM)PIllars of eternty (PtoD) 2nd playtrough: 88h 30 m (main Bleak Walker Paladin, Eder, Barbarian, Monk, Rogue (ranged) Cypher(wand)(not counting reloads and experimenting)status i love the game, hate the bugs, and wish for better AI and Pathfinding http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/78749-needed-qualyty-of-life-improvements-information-and-transparency/
