Solution to Cronus lasers persisting after death (Option 2) #196

Closed ThunderRazor closed 6 years ago

ThunderRazor commented 6 years ago

PATCH NOTES:

Fixed an issue where Cronus lasers persist after death.

DETAILS:

Refer to Issue#194
This solution does NOT include applying -50% HP (this preserves the current (broken) state of Cronus having full health in Survival).
Between Option 1 and Option 2, merge one and close the other.

Survival is a cakewalk as it is, and boss fights in survival are a joke. This would be my recommendation (full health). You might make a post on the forums for community input. Fixing something that was originally intended is all well and good, but it does mess with the current balance of the game by making the cronus easier. It's common to kill cronus before he even releases a laser.

If this is the better option of the two, then I would (as @NiktosNOTD suggested) use "Unstable Mutation" (or some other behavior) that only modifies the speed. Again, refer to the discussion in Issue#194.

It seems that using the behavior "unstable mutation" without the -50% HP modification is the cheaper more effective way to solve this problem. I still don't know the real reason vital modifications cause bugs with the lasers.
