Bug discovered - player set traps causing xp loss

Post by Eldaquen »

Hello, Hope this is simple to fix. Discovered a bug with player set traps causing xp loss if trap's activation causes player death. I know your busy but if and when you get a chance would you take a look at this.

Took a screen shot of the trap going off and killing another player. Trap was set on door. Combat log recorded door killed - resulting in xp loss. Is there anyway that traps could recall who set thereby if kills a player then setting player is credited with the kill, not the object trap set on.

Thank you,

Eldaquen

Please PM Linuxpup with the specifics of what is happening.

yah, i don't know if it happens every single time?? kind of like the old summons-killing you penalty bug.

Also, that's not the only bug with traps -- friendlies also trip friendly traps IF they are not in the party with the trap-layer.

Actually, I have to delevel a toon sometime in the near future, so I do some testing with 'im.

I know it has happened to me as well. Walk over a trap, and Im not at full health and BOOM, dead. So I kindly click the respawn thinking it was a tricky move and good use of trappage then notice that there was xp lost because of the death to trap.
