Hotfix 13.7.2

[Irreverent]

So uh... instead of just figuring out a solution to make Absorbs not interact with eachother you made them... resist magnetic damage. So Disruptors and Shock Leaders no longer actually contribute damage to Absorb. And so any allies using weapons with magnetic damage are able to contribute less efficiently. Cool. Great.

 

This.

 

DE, was it so hard to make it simply ignore other absorbs? :/

 

Waiting for another fix for this.. um fix.

[-CM-Saymus]

Thank you Devs!

[.-KG-..-JaJeKa-.]

It seems that on the german clients a little bug comes along with the hotfix. All shown elemental dmg/dmg itself's is about the factor 3 or 4 lower then bevor...

Thanks...

Changes:

• Made Nyx's absorb resist magnetic damage so that you can't generate endless damage by chaining absorbs.

 

 

Yaaa... This wasn't very well thought out was it.

This is not a good change.

What about people and enemies using Magnetic damage weapons?

Just screw Magnetic damage even more than it already is?

How about you just make Absorb not absorb other Absorbs.

Well, I'm just going to assume this was a band-aid, temporary fix until we get that better solution.

I hope so.

WHEN IS UPDATE 14 COMING I NEED TO KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang on. Is two Nyxs using absorb on each other really that much of a problem? I've done ODD with two Nyxs for the sole purpose of testing this and it wasn't a viable strategy once we got 50 waves in. In fact having two Nyxs absorbing each other didn't do much more than having just one nyx and say a Saryn, or Nova. This was before absorb was toggle-able, so am I understand right that making it toggle-able actually buffed the skill rather than nerf as you originally intended? And your answer is to limit her potential against Corpus? 

[slappy330]

Wat?

[c0wb0ys7y13]

Still no fix for Castaneda and bullet magnet.

[pepsi-tan]

I'd rather see a Nekros buff.

Then you were not doing it the way that they wanted to "fix". the thing is that you need to add damage to the absorb. lets use a 20k damage ogris for example and both nyx players have one.

 

1st: one goes into absorb > other shoots at absorb > shooter goes into absorb > original absorber explodes for 20K that goes to the other absorb and area.

2nd: charge other with ogris > absorbs > charged absorb explodes for 40K

3rd: charge other with ogris > absorbs > charged absorb explodes for 60K

And that can go on and on.

 

And at the same time the one who can walk around can pick up energy and such. So even with only 5 transfers each wave with 20K each time and no outside damage you will deal 5 million damage at the end of wave 50... and only 5 charges each wave is just slacking so the damage number by that time should be waaaay higher. Nothing will be able to stop you once you go.

[Shevrock]

Not sure how i feel about the Nyx fix. Nice to have interception fixed though. Also, any chance we can get another drop location for Ember Prime Systems?

 

 

P.S BOW BEFORE THE D.E GODS

[Zakharon]

Can we get a Para sentinel bundle please also Wyrm primes event badge is upside down

[Nagoob]

is anyone else having issues when trying to log in?

 

[Virdigo]

To everyone that kept saying "It's just bad RNG" you can suckit, unemployed programmer was right after all huh?

 

Also, the Tigris on specters that's gotta be breaking something all those shotgun pellets spamming between clients.  Might account for the stability issues in games of late.

And I'm assuming, again, this is only possible because you can toggle absorb, because beforehand it was impossible to time.

yes and no, it just took insanely long originally. you could still one shot heavies at wave 50 though. Just went a lot quicker to stack because of the toggle.

[pepsi-tan]

conspiracy theory

 

Dafuq are you on about

That still doesn't seem like a viable strategy against anything but infected, Even with overextend, can you get the blast range out far enough to hit those heavy gunners? Unless you also have a Loki radial disarming, but now we're talking about a four man team coordinating to achieve something complicated. I can understand limiting how much Nyx can absorb from another Nyx if it truly escalates as high as you claim, but to completely remove it does a disservice to the essence of the skill.

He's saying that the power creep is basically theft from players that bought previous weapons with plat.

 

It can be difficult in the best of times to separate unintentional power creep from exploitative practices.
