It never works!! I only use it for the damage bonus, but recently I've noticed whenever I use it on a boss (like the holiday event), my character glitches EVERYTIME. The loadout will change like it should, but I don't transform and become disabled to where all I can do is jump till I die or the fight resets... Please look into this.
I'm not currently ice, but I'm still seeing it being used in content just fine. Could you maybe give some more details or provide a video?
I've been having a similar issue with Nature's transformations. On PS3 US. If I'm in Insectoid form and get knocked out, I am supposed to revert back to normal form. This has not been happening. From my perspective when I am picked up, I am in still in Insectoid form and I am unable to use my loadout, weapon attacks or even block/dodge roll. Sometimes all basic movement is disabled (walking, jumping, etc.) From everyone else's perspective I am in normal form. Switching armories, opening the UI, waiting it out or a combination of these sometimes fixes this. Other times if I am picked up and switch back to Insectoid form, my loadout changes but I remain in normal form and cannot move or use my loadout. I have a league mate on PS4 who uses Ice Elemental and he's been having the same issues.
Should be the bug confined to PS console for transformations. Already tracked in Issue Tracker. DC-2006 (Form change stops player from being able to use weapon and abilities)
Happens with the atomic Aura too. Sometimes I'll have an Aura up for an entire run even after I die or between add groups
