Connectivity issues, it seems...and quite serious ones.

Getting this on a fair basis now, and some of the resulting BS is horrific. Tonight's was a run with two Friends on the SABER2 strike where the Fallen skiff had magical auto-tracking, hitting a laterally-moving airborne target with 100% accuracy...and it wasn't even the worst part. We kept on getting nailed by the Uber-Shank so much that our 3rd man (to that point) dropped out in disgust, but right before we invite a new 3rd man in, we dropped the US's health to zero. It started its self-destruction animation of shaking prior to exploding, but it didn't progress to exploding -- instead, it froze, floated up...and a few seconds later vanished while the floors parted and a fresh one appeared. I'll admit that I almost quit in disgust at that, but the fact that we were so goddammned close kept me; we eventually killed the damn thing, but GFD...

So I guess the question is what exactly is going on?

you on ps3?

Yeah.

i have no idea what happened.
i saw vids of atheon and crota kills, both collapsed and some seconds later a new atheon/crota spawned with full health.
but this is extremely rare.
go to orbit and restart the strike playlist?

Meh thats BS

atheon is warlock

I've seen this happen a few times, sometime on patrol when a connection to game is crappy, you get enemies who get to 0% and become bullet sponges who can still kill you, but then insatntly die moments later or teleport around, or come back to life.

Worse on a boss stage, really depends whos connecten is being wonky in area.

I had opt for port forwarding to fix most of my issues past month or so.

Didn't feel like it, nor did it occur to us.

I'm also reminded of another run (against Malok) where it was literally "Timescale": https://youtu.be/41IZj7GCGYo
Hordes of enemies and swarms of Axion Darts, all frozen where they were, and what it might unfreeze into. Damned scary s*** that was.

@enjelsama: Delayed damage registration (DDR) is not cool, especially if youre so certain of a killing shot, but DDR kicks in and the enemy gets the last laugh.

I'm kinda wondering now if that is why I'm getting nailed with magic accuracy, if the connection slows down in such a way that I don't notice/feel a thing -- but to the game it's as if I've been Timescaped.

And speaking of bullet sponge enemies, is that the case with events/Champions where low(er)-level enemies can eat literally everything but the kitchen sink from a Lv40 player with +300 gear?

I think thats more up/down scaling going on, So every one is kinda on same playing feild.

thou before, a lv7 could destory health on taken boss with crap weapons cause of it, they since fixed it.
