Summary0008327: Monster Nests are (sometimes) invincible...Again!
DescriptionAs of 1.040, monster nests are once again invincible VS melee attacks. I've had this occur in both boss fights and JtP runs.

Oddly enough, they were destroyable in a Boss Gang Building mission I just finished, so behavior is not consistent. Not entirely sure how to reproduce yet.

This is actually by design -- some monster spawners, such as those in JTP missions, are meant to be indestructible. We'll have to make them have a more clear visual to differentiate them, though. Thanks!

Thanks!

* Boss Delve gauntlet rooms and journey to perfection missions have always had invincible monster nests rather than the normal kinds of monster nests that you can destroy.
** If you paused and hovered over these nests they would say "Invincible Monster Nest," but that was the only clue. Now there is a wholly different graphic used, which is a much freakier and different form of monster nest than seen before.

Would it be possible to have the invincible versions of the spawners also have the "invincible lightning cloak" like PCs have when they are invincible? It would be a nice reuse of a visual queue. Not sure how distracting it would be though.

If it turns out to be needed, we certainly can do that. Right now I think these look extremely different enough that they will be something that most players will examine or at least not think is buggy, and it's a lower GPU load not to do the lightning all over the place.
