BS death to boat explosion. No animation HCSSF

Just need to blow some steam...

I was steamrolling through the campaign, had a really good build going, completely blind and ethical gameplay, insane survivability 1k life+2k ES, never got close to dying then this stupid boat in act4 ruined my entire run. I get on, loot the chest, it said the boat was about to explode so I run off of it way back past the checkpoint just to be safe. I waited... no bang. So I went back to check whats happening, I TOUCH THE PIER WITH ONE FOOT (no exaggeration) and it instantly blew up. I looked it up and turns out there's supposed to be fuses. No fuses visible on my side. Just instant boom. I guess the animation didn't load because I was offscreen and when I went back, it blew up as soon as I touched the "boat area". What a load of sh*t. The worst part is, it didn't just kill off my character, it killed off my motivation to go again because I don't know what other bullsh*t deaths I am to expect from the new content. Progress is also slow af now with every build nerfed into oblivion. Giga depressed right now

Having just finished Act 4, I don't remember anything about a boat blowing up.... huh?

It's in Act4 Journey's End

Im on HC

Just happened to me, what a disgustingly lame way to die. The EXACT thing happened to me. I went wayyyyyyyyyy back past the checkpoint, waited 5 seconds after the timer reached zero. Its like, I wouldnt even be upset if I died legit but this is just so frustrating and demotivating. Legit just doesnt even make sense. You touch the chest and it lights a FUSE, which should travel to a bomb... to explode.. but instead, the FUSE somehow turns into a PROXIMITY MINE. In what universe does that make sense. Im running the game on max graphics and there was zero animation upon going back to the ship, no glowing MINES or nothing.

Im so disappointed, I finally found good gear and was massacring the game just to die to a BS, what I feel, bug. This must be addressed to not feel like it is a huge bug or an extremely strange overlooked part of the game intentionally there to have zero animation that leads to you losing all progress.

It is so lame for a game to make something that is like oh, dont progress without knowing a bugged horrific game breaking mechanic is there. Its incredibly frustrating feeling like the player is forced to look up the new act before playing it to avoid unfair 1 shot, no animation mechanics.

I would love to be rolled back but i am sure that wont happen.

I was only able to replicate it once on a map layout consisting of the checkpoint being at the bottom left of the start zone then having to run upwards to the right in order progress through the zone. Also the layout of the bugged boat bomb area was coming from above the boat from the top right and going down toward the screen where the boat was on the bottom left. The fuses and bombs were not obscured by the wood on the boat in this layout.

Also, ive tried it like 50 times past my duplicate bug, and i cannot get the same layout now. All i am getting is a waypoint on the bottom right and i have to travel to the top left to progress in the map, where the bug does not seem present.

That's a sad way to die, but I'm surprised in general you had no issues with the game in HCSSF, but I keep reading complaints from Softcore that the game is hard. Just lots of whining but here you are and never even get close to dying in HC SSF?

What the heck?

Upon repeating trying to get the bug to happen over and over on my freshly dead, now softcore character, it doesnt seem the layout matters. Its just a bug that happens whenever it feels like it. I screen recorded it and its able to be reproduced. Maybe 1/50 it happens.

please address this asap so players dont have to experience this game breaking, horrible, zero animation, absolute waste of time bug.

I almost got dieying there. And i was level 95 about 89% xp progression. From luck i passed the point 1 sec before the big boom.

I can't believe i also lost my char here. I don't see the point of those one try death mechanics in an ARPG with a big hardcore community.

No animation, just got a sound warning and the character talking so i get out asap. I waited 10s and then when i came back the thing insta explode on me.

Nice. End of season for me
