    perception/spotting traps

    There's a thread running in the fixer forum about disarming traps (Link) and there's one thing about this that I found quite disturbing. I'd like to quote a post by Schma, TL6 fixer:

    I have enough trap disarm to disarm any bomb at first try.
    I have more perception than disarm.
    I can't spot a single trap.

    Hence, I do the zen thang, and disarm bombs without detecting them

    Question to the players: Can anyone spot traps in the high level game? Agents, Adventurers?

    Question to Funcom: If not, is this a bug or is it intentional? If it's intentional how do you justify/explain this (people reporting that they can't find a single trap)? Schma isn't the only one that have reported this.
    I would understand if you don't want to give players a 100% chance of spotting all traps, but not a single one... (actually I don't understand it, if people want to excel at a skill they should be allowed to imo. But hey, it's your game )

    Are you having an argument on the internet, again?

    You need to actively search for the Trap. That means hit the Search button. At lower level (1-120) spotting traps are easy but at higher lvls even my agent with 900 Perception cant spot a damn thing.

    BTW: The search button is in the Actions Panel

    Yeah, I know the button. That's not the problem. 900 perception-characters not finding the trap is.

    Yes, I know about actively searching for traps

    And your observations are the same as ours. Easy to spot up til around 100, after that... nope
