Reduce traps count
-
having been poisoned repeatedly in star water tomb and dieing 3 times as a result i can say that the traps are not insignificant. (i didnt spot them alright!)
DC20 poison that drops your con to 3 is not a laughing matter.

After seeing how traps were disregarded I went ahead and spent the better part of an afternoon to track the bug and then refactor the entire thing. Traps serve a purpose and newer types of traps will also be introduced :)
Better start making friends with a local Rogue!

Quests shouldn't -need- a rogue though or be practically undoable or not worth doing if there isn't a rogue online or around.

Its not that you have a door you cant unlock mind.
Its a trap you need to notice and avoid, which you can spend skill points on any class(Including Wizard) to develop :) -

Don't get me wrong, having traps on quests is something I quite like. Just not having 20+ spiketraps in a single one. The number count is pretty ridiculous on some quests.

Dont worry! We will be slowly changing the Spike traps to other types :)

My two cents:
Poison is fine but reducing people to 2 con constantly is very resource intensive. Need more antidote drops.
Also, rogues should have a use, using a dwarf or orc to activate traps should be feasible but have some risks.
In short: hard quests are fibe but more, better loot drops should be expected.

Thanks Joe. When you have a moment could you post the any more details of the poIson and which quests?
It will be helpful and save time if we don’t have to go through them all to investigate this.
There also is a bit of xp when they are disarmed.

@Cadiz @Gloomy_Sunday and I did the starwater tomb (the eveningstar quest), the traps were all poison, and very strong poison. Have to say, I have done it since and the traps were okay. Maybe some kind of RNG element?
I dont think there is an issue with traps, they should be plentiful and some powerful ones - more because a rogue should be able to get a trap collection for pvp/pve shenanigans. Too many powerful ones can be problematic. I'd say only poison are actual killers as long as you have someone healing on standby.
There is a neg energy trap in Redwood that can be triggered multiple times.
