Now latency will play a small role here where the trap is off on your client but on on the server, but we're talking milliseconds here (a little less than ping time).

Instead of "go slower", I'll rephrase as "be careful around traps".

Fair enough, I’ll believe you, but the amount of times I died & had no idea what happened is noticeable

I’d be glad if you just recognized players don’t like these particular trap mechanics, & don’t make them normal going forward
I say this as someone who enjoys the tricky aspects of elite zodias maps
(Bombbots, red mermen shields, mini boss tricks, ect)

Anyway thx for discussing, & best wishes
