Changelings that absorb changelings get a bugged hivemind. - Grifflez - 02-02-2017

If a changeling absorbs another changeling and thus it's hivemind, the absorbed minds of the first changeling are stuck staring at a husked changeling corpse.

Resetting the game client fixes camera temporarily, but any visual effects the original changeling had at the time of death become PERMANENT

The camera-view will return to the first changeling's husked corpse if the body is placed in any sort of container (Locker, Scanner, etc.)

Also: If the body of the first changeling is destroyed ALL MINDS FROM BOTH LINGS ARE BOOTED OUT OF THE HIVEMIND CHANNEL frown 

Steps to reproduce: 
  • Sting and absorb changeling with a hivemind full of absorbed minds
  • The absorbed minds are now blinded by the neurotoxin overlay and staring at a husked corpse instead of their new changeling master
  • Destroy first changeling's body to evict second changeling's hivemind of all absorbed minds.
Edit: Welp someone said "that doesn't sound too major, I'd mark it as minor" so screw you deadchat ghost.

Marking this as major because of the serious implication to an antagonist role.
