Babellon Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I was playing the infested maps tonight, and on 3 occasions some yellowish orange orb floated up, and instantly killed me. what is this? what is doing it? and was it intended to instantly strip shields and kill the player?

Casardis Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Was it on the new Eris tileset? Was it a mobile defense? If it's both of the above, maybe it's related to this? Hotfix 14.1.2 Additions: Added in new environmental hazards for Infested Ship Mobile Defense: Poison Gas will now appear and deal Damage over Time while you are defending, you will have to seek out the ‘vent gas’ panel to disperse the hazard!

Casardis Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Maybe it's a bug? It says that it should deal damage over time, not instant-kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babellon Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 yea, no doubt, figured i'd ask the general community first, if anyone else has encountered it, I'll write up a bug report, just in case it is one. simply because on 2 of the 3 times, there were no mobs in play around me when it occured.

Casardis Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) I just played the Mobile Defense map regarding the DoT hazard. It seems your issue is a completely different matter. Now I'm kinda curious... Was the mission type specifically called Hive? Edited August 3, 2014 by Casardis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16Bitman Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Would you mind taking a screenshot of the yellow orbs? Just did the Mobile Defense myself and I haven't noticed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babellon Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Would you mind taking a screenshot of the yellow orbs? Just did the Mobile Defense myself and I haven't noticed them. unable to get the screen shot. I only noted the orb when it displayed an explosion over my head. but it happened so fast i couldn't catch it. did further testing, the orb may of been simply a graphic of the tileset, and the real damage may have come from elsewhere, the chargers are doing massive damage, killing in 2 hits. cannot explain how i died without any mobs present but, also cannot sseem to recreate the exact conditions either.
