… for it’s eating attack, which is absolute BS that it can just sticky target and eat you as soon as you are in melee range. It should be similar to the chaos spawns tentacle wind-up before it grabs you, except beast has nothing like that.
it spat on you and turned your screen half ichor-ish.
if that aint a telegraph i dont know what to say except
So I guess that troll response was meant to say that being covered in puke is the trigger that lets the beast grab you, which is absolutely not true because I’ve been grabbed without being puked on, so it’s either not a thing and you don’t know what you’re talking about, or it’s bugged, and in that case you can’t help me anyway, so it doesn’t really matter if I ignore you at this point.
i do understand your frustration, i had this issue myself originally, but then i realized, it turns very slowly and can’t grab you when you’re not in front of it. there’s that, and also dodge-dance.
edit: bosses are already quite a joke in many auric maelstrom missions (rocket launcher and other nonsense), further casualizing them just keeps making the game more boring. aren’t we playing the game because it is supposed to be a challenge (which it sadly often isn’t anymore in auric mael)? chaotic mess is pure fun <3
No doubt you got puked without realising and/or grabbed just as the debuff expired. The puke hitbox is massive when you aren’t dodging and it’s very easy for it to hit you while you are attacking the burgle from the side.
Then make a bug report (ideally with video evidence) because that is not supposed to happen.
dude if you cant handle the facts of the game that havent changed in case of the BON for ages, dont come here with a “troll” demand to soften the game so you wont fail anymore at screen filling warning effects.
and no, in almost 2000 matches recorded to date i wasnt swallowed once without getting puked on earlier.
but i guess frustration > facts nowadays 
i could go on how to position as to not get puked on but i guess further facts would be trolling again 
BON is the boss that holds up advancement through the map the most and getting roasted while inside would be a legit gripe, not being able to avoid its puke for 4 years is not
Burgle can’t eat you if you’re not puked
This is how it’s coded
Counterpoint:
burgle is both bugged and needs better telegraphing and hitboxes
the tail whip attack comes out before the animation does, like rager attacks, which is incredibly frustrating as a new player to get hit and then go “oh i should have dodged before the attack I guess, that’s annoying,” or worse, start to think some attacks or enemies are unable to be dodged
TBF, I was about 1k hours on before I realised only vomit soaked people got eaten. That is not explained anywhere and if it is then it’s done so poorly.
If only there was a simple bestiary in the game…
well, you still got puked on prior, what latency are you playing at ? seems like server had it way before your client did
besides, watching it a few times it seems the dude to your left was meant to be puked on when you took its aggro, meaning spit-routine already in progress.
so latency+aggro switch i guess = wombo combo
Ping was around 80ish. And no, I did not get puked on at all. You can see the debuff list and at no point did I ever get the puke debuff, just the “you’re in the belly” debuff.
That said, that incident is very clearly a bug; it’s not supposed to be able to swallow you without the puke debuff, but something broke somewhere and so that happened. It’s just my go-to example for when I need something emblematic of why Burgles are not fun or engaging.
That is a fair point and was a big issue with VT2 too, a lot of stuff veterans just take for granted is not really explained anywhere by the game, and I often still have moments with friends hundreds of hours in where how a certain game mechanic, talent or blessing works is not actually clear.
I really wish some of the features of the creature spawner mod were made baseline so all players can test the different enemies in the psykaneum. At a minimum a practice range is needed where the AI can see you and target you (it does when you’re leaving the psykaneum 
).
the visuals at second 2 say otherwise, got the screen border snot and an instant grab
That’s from being eaten, not puked on.
Yes, and that’s the debuff from being eaten, not from being puked on. The Puke debuff is yellow and brown with a jagged arrow on it and a stack number in the bottom right corner.
well seems im lucky then to not have encountered anything similar since beta 
there’s some weird interaction with the spit where if it doesn’t target you, you can’t iframe it or something, too
boss is quite good conceptually but it does have some jank, like if you do get eaten why can you be hurt from the outside? the massive corruption should be punishment enough
