I’m going crazy. I’m trapped in a room. A rubber room full of poxbursters. Bursters are directly or indirectly the cause of 90% of the damage I take. List of bugs off the top of my head:: Can only be pushed by the person they have aggro on Snapping and changing aggro. Every mob does this but wit…

Nothing I hate more than shoving a poxburster away, only to still get hit by it. That and I’ve seen them jump early sometimes, so you are close enough to be hit by it but not close enough to shove it away. Or when they immediately jump out of a door at you.

Interesting, I don’t remember experiencing the first case in over 700 hours (pushing through a burster). Maybe a lag issue? I don’t see a problem with the other two cases, though. Both bursters were clearly audible. The first one changed direction at the end, but I think that’s just something you’l…

First case is the burster bug I see the most. It’s not uncommon but not rare either. Second video the burster was targeting the downed player which isn’t a bug but hey, I hate bursters, screw em. The more hate the better. Third video the burster audio was weirdly desynced. Probably was for that Zeal…

It happens whenever a burster is targeting somebody else and you happen to be there, the first push simply doesn’t work. 3rd video was a case of the audio being audible, then being muted and then being audible again AFTER it started its jump. I’ve experienced all there is to experience with burster…

A significant amount of the damage I take is from inconsistent stuff like everything going on with bursters, which I see as unfair. They’re the main culprit though for sure.

Also fun fact, did you know that the damage poxbursters deal isn’t consistent? [image] What happened to poxbursters? Bugs Issue Type (Required): Enemy Mechanics Issue Description (Required): I’ve noticed recently that poxburster damage is inconsistent. What I …

I need the barrels for easy martyrdom stacks they can stay.

Bursters and trappers are the reason I use spidey sense mod. And only for those mobs.

The most annoying burster is the one that spends a minute behind a door just ticking, warning you it’s gonna come at some point. It grabs everyone’s attention away from the battle and puts people into panicky alert mode. But it just waits in there ticking. Or the burster that can’t burst. It comes …

They can also be pushed towards you by non-players. My “favorite” was a silent hound which pounced through a Bulwark meatwall and pushed back a perfectly pushed away burster into our direction. Hounds is another special which doesnt get enough hate, with their silly physics, 180 degree a55-first p…
