Grineer Scorpions Fixed!

[Gibblemung]

Unmarked hotfix to Grineer Scorpions. They now have a projectile speed (that can be seen/dodged).  Thanks, DE! :D

 

Their drag still stuns/immobilizes you for approximately two seconds, while they reel you in, but not quite to melee range unless you're already close. This gives you a chance to hit them upon standing or shoot at close range.

Seems like a reasonable compromise if true.

 

Edit: nevermind, just played against them and they are silly now and only a player completely new to fps and tps games will ever get grappled. They are now trivial game content like much of the rest.

Now all they need to do is fix ancients range hit not being able to be dodged all the time and the enemies will be just fine.

I noticed this fix too, thank you DE. Always amazing us at how fast fixes come out.

I'd like to see the Scorpion get a poisoned attack like the toxic infested. It'd be a good way to give the Grineer more variety without relying on knockdowns or stuns.

Don't powerfists ignore shields? They're so slow they rarely matter though.

Just played a few rounds on Kappa and the scorpions are now a joke. Any player who strafes and shoots trivializes them now and will never get grappled. I hope this trend of dumbing down the game doesn't become the norm. Would be much better to add difficulty levels that overall keep making the game too easy.

I think the scorpions should attack faster and have a bleeding or poison effect.
