Yeah game gets buggy the longer an activity drags on, exotics etc start stopping to work, guns disappear, enemies wonky, stuff like Vex keycard abilities in Encore for example stop working, too much stuff going on in the game causes the game to just not know what to do. Same with the weird red blood low hp outline effect staying on screen even in orbit. Think of it like dumping tons of books in a room in Skyrim etc, sure rest of game works but gamesave balloons to an absurd size the more you play the game and do stuff in Skyrim and is prone to just breaking due to how everything IN the world is present within the loaded data even if you're nowhere near the area anymore. So if for example to do the room-to-room shoot-the-node puzzle in Encore complete it only IF you've never done it before, otherwise if you attempt it and leave or complete it and leave to go to last boss that's when weird stuff start happening and is the reason why boss battle breaks midway if you dps too fast, one fix is when you get your first initial green keycard Vex ability deposit in the middle and LEAVE IT there do not touch it, slot in the green in where they go, put in blues to open portals to where they go, do not remove em to put elsewhere, game memory cannot deal with it So yes, wiping will force the current game instance to full wipe and only reload what is near you, nothing else, that's why after you're done with something always go to orbit and full log out & log in again every now and then.

Yes this happened to me a number of times. If I could tag enough of them with a sever, the effects would still proc. But normal weapon attacks would be useless. Malfeasance also seemed to work, but not consistently. After dying, or resetting the room if I managed to aoe enough stragglers in the room, they would take damage again.
