Thread: My thoughts on how traps should work, IMHO
I hope I'm not the only one that has an issue with the way our current traps work, when they do actually work 2 outta 5 times.
#1.......It's a TRAP, and should actually trap the creatures (npc soon too). I can see the sense of having very large creatures break free, but smaller creatures should be pretty much permenatly rooted with adhesive mesh and maybe even glow wire. No creature should be charging you within 5 seconds of using mesh type traps successfully. Currently all traps basically function like grenades, not actual traps.
#2.......Stunning and blinding traps. If I'm camo'ed and/or maskscented and I successfully blind or stun any creature then they should have no idea where I am located. They should not immediately charge in for the counterattack. If it can't smell me or see me to start with, how's it going to do so blinded or stunned?
Those are my trap issues on top of the obvious bugs still associated with them.
