Uun Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 In the final mission of the Maria Jenkins arc you have to rescue Positron. After you defeat the Olympian Guard, he comes down from the wall when you approach. Normally I clear the room before rescuing him, but yesterday I had left a few mobs on one side. When I engaged those mobs after the rescue, Positron just followed me like a puppy but didn't fight. In the original version of the arc, where you rescue Statesman after fighting Tyrant, Statesman would fight any mobs left in the room.

Placta Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 All that crap is gray to him, no XP. Or maybe being held like that took a larger toll on Positron, a guy in a suit, than Statesman the super-Incarnate. As for why they programmed it like that, no idea. 1 Playing on Excelsior.

Usually, I clear the room first, too, but I was rushing through at -1 last night and went straight for the Guard. Once it was taking a dirt nap, I figured I'd stick around and drag Posi back through the cavern for some easy, quick XP, but he wasn't doing anything. Thing is, I also decided to polish off the Unveiler badge, using the Jaeger SSA first mission, and decided to see what happened if I ran it with the Freedom Phalanx, and discovered that Posi was useless there, too. He toggled on a PBAoE, and proceeded to just follow me, never doing anything else. So he's either scripted to do nothing, or his script is broken, and it's affecting him across multiple instances. 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

Black Zot Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Anyone who's not high-tier-superhumanly durable is gonna be in no shape to fight after being strung up like that for a long time. Things like "suspension" and "energy drain" take one hell of a toll on the human body. Posi's doing pretty damn well just to keep up with you at that point.
