*runs off to herd some drones while they last*
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
I haven't tested this on all level ranges of drones....just experiencing it on the low 30's drones atm.
confirmed in the rikti war zone. my 10 year old kept yellin to me.
"Dad,Dad,Dad, come look quick. untill i finally looked and he was right.
It's been doing the same thing with Council Zenith Hoverbots in that level range, too.

Gonna go throw together a quick AE mission to see what happens at higher level ranges....will update with results
Tested on level 52-53 advanced drones, and they do the same thing, so it seems not to be level-specific. Much explody goodness. 
Lady Grey TFs should be really funny. For the first five minutes...

Do other special death animation things loop?
I wonder if this affects the exploding Vahz?
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Just for the heck of it.. I made an AE mish with just the drones..
a couple tanks, and a large mob.. it's 4th of july really early... so much fun! haha

I got to tell you though. It's pretty cool. You herd enough together and nuke them and come July 4th we'll have a mini fireworks show

[/ QUOTE ] We did that last night. It was quit fun. lol
Probably already known, but I'm too lazy to search. I'm finding that all Rikti Drones loop their explosion animation upon defeat, and will repeatedly explode until the "corpse" despawns. While nifty, this is a somewhat distracting glitch when a number of them are killed at the same time.
