Nyx Mind Control on Defense Missions

[Barns]

It's possible to mod Nyx for a lot of additional duration and repeatedly mind control an enemy in order to prevent co-op allies from progressing in the mission. I suggest the ability should be changed to only provide damage reduction, and not immunity, from "friendly fire" while mind controlled, since this can be quite frustrating.

So essentially make Nyx's powers even more useless. Mind Control is very useful with having some extra firepower especially for the higher-leveled sponges, it's really just a matter of the Nyx forgetting to use the power again to disable it.

I'd rather keep them invulnerable, especially while we have meta cheese in the game that instakill most things with a single press of a button.

Why not just have enemies that are "enthralled" (Mind Control, Parasitic Link, etc) not count as an enemy in situations like these?

[Barns]

Maybe, but I'm talking about the potential for actual malfeasance against other players in public lobbies, which just now happened to me and prompted me to make this thread.

Basically this.

Seen it on Bursas atleast in interception that a hacked one not vanishes with the timer.

Can't see why my suggestion wouldn't fix that. 😛

Nyx keeps her mind controlled target, Nidus keeps his parasitic thrall, the mission continues as normal because it doesn't count them as being enemies. It's just one less thing trolls have power over.

Then by all means, I'm all for it. I'm only doing my part by bringing attention to something that needs to be fixed.

For some reason, I thought it delayed the damage until mind control ran out. When the counter ran out or disabled, the target then "received" the damage it took. Sorry, been awhile since I've used her, but I remember something along these lines while using her

I would really like mind control targets to not count as enemies for this very reason, as Pizzarugi suggested. I have a duration centric Nyx, but cant normally make full use of the duration during interceptions or defenses because of this (Or keep a specific unit that I like alive and just refresh the mind control again and again to keep it around, IE a Bursa, since you HAVE to end the control and kill it to progress).

Just make the enemy count as dead (and drop their loot) once lethal damage has been stored up.

This is the case, unless there's been a change that I haven't seen. The second you use Mind Control again, assuming you did enough damage to it, it should drop dead.
