Keltik0ne Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'll guess it's a bug, U14 included several of them free of charge, for your entertainment ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarvok Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It's also possible to get Ice, etc. in Mercury now..... rofl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteoHatto Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Why are there arc traps ANYWHERE in the first place, the enemies get zapped by their own "traps" lol. It's as if bosses just go around planets and trolling their subordinates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukinoki Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) @darthdartNot always possible to shoot them before being zapped and killed.Try walking through a door, or under an overhang, or around a blind corner and then being zapped to death by something that is impossible to see, predict or avoid before it happens.And in some cases you cant even kill them without having to get much closer to them, meaning you can very well end up dead for moving around a corner where the game decides to spawn 2 or 3 of them next to each other in a position you cant possibly see or notice or destroy before they zap you.

Then stop rushing. Walk in, get zapped, back up. Stop standing in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikaponi Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 They are there to shoo new players away so DE won't have to work on the new player experience anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R34LM Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Then stop rushing. Walk in, get zapped, back up. Stop standing in it. Going in with only my melee, expecting there to be no traps, given there wasnt anything before. I wasn't even rushing; those are all bullcrap assumptions.

I've never had an issue with them, but there are now littered across the map, making it considerably more difficult to level a new frame. I've been at this game for a year; I know what I am doing.

That's what I thought. Also, you know what you are doing yet you died to arc traps. Alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikaponi Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 No mod points for that without a Stance. Aura* And that is exactly why you equip one right after getting a new frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsukinoki Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 @TaikaponiBiggest issue is completely new players who chose a frame like Loki.They dont have any auras.They dont have enough points for decent shield/health mods or any of that.All they have is fairly low base stats of 75/75.@darthdartTry to think of how they would be for a completely new player to the game for all of five minutes and you might be able to see why rounding a corner to 3 to 5 arc traps is not something that should ever happen on Mercury.

They'd die, and hopefully slow down and be more cautious. Working as intended honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
