Traps despawn time

    I don't know but the current despawn time for traps seem to be kinda small, from what I can tell it's around 10 mins on a ship.
    Has anyone else tried them yet?

    And that is too small?
    What about buried traps?

    From rumors I've read, the times seem to vary from several minutes to over half an hour.

    @astralenigma I've had some despawn after seconds. Not sure it's intentional outside of once further traps are placed and there's a limit

    Haven't tried it just felt too small because that was the time for me to set it up explore the island I was in quickly and then reach the next island.
    When there's a commendation tied to have someone set off a trap rigged with a red flare on your ship it would seem it was designed to warn you when your ship got invaded while you were on the island.
    If I'm going to be using traps as a boarder alert system I'm going to need a lot more traps.
    But yeah trap despawn time seems inconsistent too.

    Placed a trap on my gally went over to my alliance sloop to help set off the trap and by the time I’d gotten back it was gone so it’s less than 10 mins

    I had traps despawn on the BB after 10 to 30min. I thought it was from the skellies set them off at first but now its clear that this is the reason. I see no reason why they should despawm at all. Maybe 10 min aftet you leave the server and not come back.

    Honestly. The way traps are now, they are utterly pointless. I put two traps down on my ship. And by the time I had loaded them with a blunderbombs they de-spawned. They literally were down for only 30 seconds. And both de-spawned at the same time.

    I recorded it and between the frame I set the trap and the last frame I saw it, it took 10 mins. At the eleventh minute the trap wasn't there anymore.
    That was a test where I hadn't set any more traps.
    Maybe there's a bug with the despawn timer it's the first time they spawn something that is created by the player that requires a despawn timer.

    A mod in the discord told me it’s a known issue and unintentional. Seems that the traps being limited to 2 per player and may be despawning random traps when new ones are thrown anywhere in the world, causing variable despawn times.

    That could make sense.
    I had traps I placed in the same area when I had my own timer suspicions.
    Some traps would last a long time, others would literally despawn in seconds.

    Either its randomised.
    Or bugged.
    Either way I just use traps for the bug usage, never served me any decent way in actual PvP sadly.
