Enemy Mechanics
Issue Description (Required):
Poxbursters have been consistently making no noise until they’re already exploding. It has killed me more times than I can count and it is incredibly frustrating to fight them. It won’t even be that you’re too distracted to hear their “tick-tocks” they just won’t make any noise at all. They will leap at you from around corners and through spawn doors so you’d have to be a robot to react fast enough to keep them away from you when it happens. It’s not fair to play against an enemy that can take half of your health away in one hit that you can’t even hear coming for you. On Maelstroms with the “Extra Poxbursters” modifier they’ll even be able to detonate each other if you try to push them away. You’ll push the first and the one behind it will leap at you causing a chain reaction and subsequently explode with no way of preventing it. This happens nearly every single game I play and it’s getting on my nerves. I’ve talked to several friends and other random players and it happens to them just as often and annoys them equally as much as it annoys me. Please fix the sound channels or something so we can hear priority sound cues over less important ones.
TLDR: Make Poxbursters unable to leap around corners and through doors, make their sound cues SIGNIFICANTLY more audible and recognizable, disable other Poxbursters from causing chain reaction explosions
Steps to Reproduce (Required):
- Have a Poxburster spawn behind a door or around a corner
- They will aggro a player
- No sound will play as the Poxburster approaches them
- They will leap around said corner and immediately go into their detonation
- The only noise that will play is their explosion and it’s already too late to have done anything to stop it
