Nyx Absorb Deaths After 13.8.4

[Tatersail]

I die most times after using Nyx absorb as the Client after patch 13.8.4

 

Things seem to be able to kill me as absorb detonates, so I wiped the map but also die to a hit.

 

its like they get a hit in after the absorb effect kills them and I become vulnerable to damage the second I push 4.

 

its a very annoying "bug / new feature" and only started happening after 13.8.4, So I assume its related to the knockdown change to absorb.

 

It happens with fast hitting infested, and always happens near a toxic ancient, I assume because the poison ticks kill me before absorb damage kills them

Were you the host most of the time, or do you join other sessions?

 

See, I have this problem sometimes too, but ONLY if others host, it has something to do with latency, you detonate your sphere, damage goes out, but due to (possibly) high pings, enemies receive that damage a bit later than they would if you were the host, so they manage to fire a couple of last shots that damage/ or kill you.

 

-Edit:

I'm not experiencing anything like this atm, if I'm the host

This could be caused my latency.

 

But if it is not that then it may be due to a bug fix with absorb.

I havent been seing people getting killed by their own Absorb but i have been seeing them being killed wile Absorb is active.

Last week wile running a Sechura in Pluto, a Nyx showed up and cast Absorb on top of the pod. Instants after casting she fell to the ground with the absorbtion`s energy effect still working then me and another player ressurected her and her Absorbtion stayed active for the rest of the stage, absorbing every attack done to her or range attacks she did and not detonating.

WOW.  That bug is back?  I swear Nyx has a dark cloud over her because her bugs just keep re-appearing.  :(   Try your best to host your own games until it's fixed.   That's how I dodged most of Nyx bugs/exploits.

Do you happen to have issues with friendly fire as well?

This is a bit "infuriating" to be honest. The more they "fix" stuff that is NOT broken or of vital importance, the more they break stuff that IS. I mean... What the frack guys?^^'

 

P.S : Nyx is my favourite, so I might be overreacting a tad when it comes to DE putting their paws on her...^^'

I saw this problem too, but the host was a Loki Prime, we had a nyx who ended up in bleedout while she was still using Absorb. So I don't think this just for players who are hosting.

 

But it was a bit laggy unless it was just me, but I wasn't the host either.
