Constantly increasing corruption tick

[LinkZeppeloyd]

Hey all-

I think this is a bug, but we just played a mission where the corruption wasn’t a set amount- it was ticking every few seconds. After a few minutes whole team was 90+% purple bar.

Bug or intentional? Seems way to brutal to be on purpose.

if it was a mission with a side objective to collect the grimoires then they could be it, pick one up it reduces you to x amount and the second just drains till your at point

As said, it's the grimoires you're picking up, it lowers everyone's health

If you hit a medicae station, your health will "Decay" to the point of the grimoire (1 grim - 1/3 of your health, 2 grim 2/3 of your health)

hmm strange i have not had a grim drain more then a set amount ! what difficulty ? dont think i have picked up a grim on heresy or above !

but it's taking us alllll the way down to 1 white HP.

The grims inflict a corruption DoT while someone is holding one. If you're going to pick one up, your party needs to move quickly so you can refresh your max HP at medicae stations or you're all gonna be screwed. It seems intentional. Your screen will actually flash a little corruption effect when it drains your HP it's just very subtle and you probably won't notice it during the chaos of combat.

the problem here is that I've lost 80% of my health bar to grim tick damage, not holding the blasted books. and I've been a very reserved veteran class, so I don't take that much damage. I find a lot of this info inaccurate.

You don't have to be the one holding the grim, the corruption is team wide.

As the replies cannot seem to get to one answer, I gotta throw in my 5cents.

Grimoires seem to take flat health instead of percentage based like in V2, which is why Ogryns always seem to take minimal corruption damage thanks to grimoires.

Furthermore, the carriers suffer under a continuous drain effect. This can be seen when using a medicae station, as health will rapidly deplete to what the grim normally takes from you entire team and slowly tick more and more on the guys carrying the damned things with a veiny effect more or less subtly flashing on the screen.

Edit: i hate how the Steam Forums handle Topics. Thanks to it popping up at the front I genuinely thought it was posted today and not a month ago.
