The Traps in the underground Passage fullfill a special purpose.
As in most Games, players are either having training missions or Tutorial missions or like in this case easy to enter areas where you can learn the mechanics of traps.

This is here to show you people how to encounter Trapped areas as in later parts of the game, traps will be encountered mroe often. Especially when more Dungeonlike areas will be part of the game in later Acts.
So dont be bothered about the functionality here. Its for the training purpose. Calling out loud: Keep an eye around the area before you carelessly enter it.

Traps should be deadly or else why even implement them, when they dont fullfill their intent of keeping creatures/people away.
And for us players especially. Use your grey matter at every turn of the road.

PS: in the savegame is a small description of difficulty setting. So i assume when game will be released, ther will be a Easy, Normal and some kind of harder difficulty setting possible.
With that difficulty setting Traps could be finetuned to not be deadly but making perc. Damage based on difficulty.
