The Fiend swipe attack needs to go

The fiend was completely broken from the start of concept. Who makes and enemy so large that it cannot fit indoors and then make a bunch of indoors and/or small maps? Their fix wasn't to go back and rethink the whole thing. Someone said "I know! we could just make him teleport when he got stuck and we could give him a sync kill". Someone else said "genius!". I'm really not sure why there is even a fiend in this game in light of the fact that every aspect of it is broken. Only fix I could see to the crash problem is by removing it. Why wasn't the behemoth the enemy in the place of the fiend? He fits better all the way around.

To be fair to Bioware the Fiend does kind of smash the doorways up a little bit before phasing through them.

That`s what I`ve been saying. lol

His vertical location teleportation has been reduced since patch 1.09 though...

I can see him jumping up and down more often.....but far from being always..

It's not really a glitch, but I find the range and tracking on their melee charge annoying.

Yeah, it makes sure you have a clear cache. You can also manually clear it, after which you get a long startup, if you want to keep the fast reboot for other games. But my guess is it drains the system as well, not to mention power.

Cool, now I just need to figure out how to get my XB1 to actually DL updates that it claims it is going to DL in the background but every time there's an update I get home and I have to manually kick it off and wait 2 hours to play my game and aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrghhhhhh.

You are totally correct.

That clip is from promo MP introduction video though. So.. it wasn`t real play but pre-rendered showcase... lol

That really sucks; I'm glad this issue doesn't occur on PC. However, the combined effects on Gold+ matches gets out of control and really makes my frame rate fluctuate. You can't tone it down through any settings. Most games at least have the option in a config file. Not here, nope.

Is this issue on Xbox only? I've never faced this on PS4...

My main problem is with the Ascendant... Lag does hilarious things to this guy and it somehow affects everyone in the match...

1 - Invincible Ascendant : you destroy the orb, nothing happens, the shield doesn't go down. It takes 2-3 orb destruction for the shield to FINALLY go down

2 - Orb less Ascendant : yes you read that right, an Ascendant without orbs. The only way we were able to fix this is for someone to sacrifice himself and let the bastard sync kill him. After the kill animation, the orb was back...

3 - Telekinetic sync kill: I enter a room in Firebase Zero, find an Ascendant inside, I quickly jump out, find two mooks who I kill, then proceed to practically the other side of the map to help my teammates. That is when I suddenly see the Ascendant perform his sync kill animation on pure "air" and I get executed at the other side of the map... I swear, there was a good 10-15 seconds between me exiting the room and him taking me down. And the worse thing is that I didn't have much lag in this match!

So yeah no crashes for me but lots and lots of Ascendant-related frustration...

Well for point 2, trust me, we must've waited 10 minutes before trying the "sacrifice". I wasted all my cobras on him as well.... Nothing was bringing that damn orb back. Luckily this only happened once...

Point 1 happens all the time and point 3 rarely...

So does anyone who does game programming know -- why would certain enemy behavior cause a crash?

Why would a certain map be more prone to crashing?
