Corrupted Nullifiers Nullifying Too Much, A Limbo Story

Recommended Posts

So since nullifiers came out, ive always wondered what would happen if they were to step into limbo's cataclysm.

 

Doing a T4 survival with my clan, with had the unpleasant surprise of discovering the answer : They become invincible.

In a strange twist of events, the nullifiers shield cancels out cataclysm completly making them stay in the material plane unlike other enemies, and this seems to make theire shield also stay in the material plane. Or something like that.

 

End result is : a nullifier with his shield on walking withing a cataclysm bubble becomes invincible. We kept shooting at his shield but nothing happened.

 

And given how theire bubble shield work, it made every enemy around them invincible too.

 

Lets just say it was NOT a fun game.

+1 OP

 

Even more reason to hate Limbo ...

 

actually, even more reason to demand that DE fix Limbo, there has been no word on fixing Cataclysm and several patches have gone out...

 

additionally Nullifiers shield should NOT be invul to weapons AND abilities, the shields should be more vulnerable to gunfire and thrown melee =/

Wait. What if you jumped OUT of Cataclysm and keep shooting him?

 

absolutely nothing, still dosent do anything. it seems as long as nullifier is in the rift plane, he's absolutely invincible

I agree. nullifiers right now nullifies everything. the shield should only block power use, not weapon too.

High level voids have become amazingly annoying when more than a single nullifier is around at the same time. When they start overlapping shield, you basicly need quadruple the firepower because you must get rid of all of them at the same time

I have a couple of interesting thoughts about this, having to fight through wave after wave of these guys as a defense limbo build.

 

#1:  What happens if you go inside their shield while remaining in the catacalysm?  Is it an entire bubble of non-rift space, or just them?  (We already know that nullifiers have some kind of secondary "skin-field" inside the bubble that protects them in odd ways...).

 

#2:  What happens if a nullifers is brought into the rift while his shield is down, then his shield activates?  Does he become a riftifier that cannot return to the material plane while bringing anything inside the bubble into the rift?

What I am about to say -does not defend- Limbo in any way.

 

... How about -not using- the Rift Plane when they're in the same room...? They won't become invincible, right? After all, they're on a different plane. It would be perfectly natural for weapons on a different plane not affecting the enemy (or enemies) that are actually on a different plane.

 

Also, why shouldn't their shields blocking ordnance thrown at them? With each touch, their nullifying shields shrink. Instead of relying on Limbo to do the job you and/or your team can't do (which is to damage the Nullifiers, go figure), how about you and/or your team members prioritize them as the most dangerous and shoot their shields with rapid fire weapons? Even IF the weapon does 1 damage or 10000000, the shot still gets blocked, so the more shots hit their shields, the faster will they drop... Even if there are multiple Nullifiers.

 

... Also, enemies like to think the Nullifiers are like an Eximus enemy. They grow a large sack when a Nullifier appears, but scatter around quickly when the Nullifiers are dead.

 

... so, Limbo, stop putting the Nullifiers into the Rift and everything is fine. Grow a sack bigger than the enemies that go "escort" a Nullifier and shoot them dead quickly instead of making them invincible with stupid tactics...

 

... And yes, because of such a stupid tactic, you ended up triggering a bug that I think isn't a bug but -almost- working as intended, minus the invulnerability part AFTER the effect of the ability ends...

You completly and utterly missed the point ive been making.

I never once mentionned people relied on limbo in the group to do anything, i never once said we were specifically putting them in the riftplane (we never willingly did) and the occurence always happened when they were nowhere to be seem, using cataclysm seemed like a good idea and then they spawned and came in.

 

Its easy to say now that cataclysm can be toggled, but before that it was a major problem. it still is in a way
