Facespawns are not cool, specially when the game has an interesting and well-rounded mechanic for regurgitating enemies : crawling out of holes in the ground, hopping over walls, climbing down terrain, etc. I don’t get how or why this happens ; specially so suddenly with the last patch.
Either they developped Engi on an old branch of the project, and had patched the issues on another ; or they’re laying grounds for the Chaos Wastes and that is breaking bits of code in the current version of the game.
Either way, I’m sure these bugs won’t last long.
Also thank you for clearing my conscience, usually I’m the Bardin in that situation and I was really wondering if I was going crazy…
Well who knows why this is happening more than before, could be a number of reasons. But you need not thank me for clearing your conscience for i mostly did it for myself for the same reason xd
I like longbow/sniper weapons and i´ve long lost count or any real feeling of “ah i made a mistake” when dying from sudden attacks when trying to aim in a place i was completely certain was safe. Or just walking around as the Bardin in the video did.
Comparatively, even if a melee career gets hit with the same deal they tend to be more durable and survive those hits, and have access to good THP generation to cover so the next hit wont kill them. It does still suck for those too though.
There is little in the game more infurating than getting a little rat wearing a nappy materialize out of the ether and stab you in the backside. Getting a surprise overhead from a SV that insta-downs you as RV with 2 grims is blood-boiling-in-your-veins territory.
I had this happen last night while playing engineer. Walked to a corner that was cleared with no spawn points or walls enemies could crawl over. double checked to see if it was clear. Started blasting the horde that was on its way, took an overhead from a mauler that spawned in the corner behind my back, instantly downing me.
Then the bots that were next to me ran off to kill a distant ratling, leaving me behind to die, failing the run
Welcome to the club. There are many posts about this issue and they’re all marked as acknowledged ; I really think this is the single most annoying bug in the game and that should be fixed asap.
