eksby Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Arc traps. They're pretty OP to new players, and they spawn way too much. I just solo ran a low level mission with a level 0 frame with no mods, and managed to die two times from arc traps and/or arc traps + enemies shooting at me (first time was my fault completely, was rushing, but the second time I was being slow and careful, even making sure to deactivate alarms as well). There was almost literally an arc trap in every room, I counted 12 in total. Heck, extraction had three, not one, but THREE arc traps in it. How is that in any way fair to new players? "I finally got to extraction! Safe space!" *BZZZT* Dead. If I'd have rushed into extraction, I most surely would have died. Please decrease the amount of arc traps spawned at least for lower level planets, and for the love of platinum DO NOT let arc traps spawn in the extraction. For clarification, I was on Earth. Not Saturn. Edited March 24, 2014 by kuliise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The earliest they show up is Saturn, not really a new player zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Pengu_Imperialus Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Extraction is exactly where I would lay a final trap for invaders lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KONAir Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The earliest they show up is Saturn, not really a new player zone. Because new players don't the game for that long, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Really? I was playing on Earth... Well I imagine when the earth tile set is complete (The Vay hek rework boss fight) I do not think they will be able to spawn on earth. Because new players don't the game for that long, right? Urm i do not consider Saturn a new player zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Momaw Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I've noticed arc traps spawning in extraction as well. Thought it was kind of a troll thing to have in the game. It makes sense for the Grineer to trap such a place, but at the same time, when you look at gameplay impact... More frustrating than shaping.

Phoenix86 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 or maybe they could dmg shields only like corpus's laser doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eksby Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 or maybe they could dmg shields only like corpus's laser doors This could possibly be a solution! Although the amount of arc traps that spawn is a bit high right now, so perhaps making it spawn less and only damage shields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ-7809 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I think ^this is one of the better solutions. I'm not sure what else can be done, I think the Disruptor energy-stealing doors was enough. I don't think we need Arc traps period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
