Novax bug in new patch

Lenkin

novax stops shooting after the selected target is destroyed, it also stops shooting at the ground if there are no targets in the vicinity, and the shot has not yet finished.

I vote we fix by deleting it from the game

dudes that think 300k mass in novaxes is annoying never saw 300k mass in washers or czars

Have seen all of the above more times than most people. Sats are still more obnoxious to me, rational or not. Washers are arguably brokenly op when used well but still less annoying when I see them.

https://replay.faforever.com/17065388 , on stream timing https://youtu.be/gfbCfN69Sf0?t=16012. I click some target and novax kills them, then it stoped but i check reload- it was not full shot. And second bug https://youtu.be/gfbCfN69Sf0?t=15861 Shield asisted by hives but dont upgrade or get hp. Same replay @jip

Let's start the convo about SMDs being able to shoot down novaxes again.

Arran

Yes please. My reasons are:
Novax spam is too prevalent because they are cheaper than T3 arty, thus less of an investment. Also global range can make them hard to destroy because they are far away and usually better protected than T3 arty - more space for shields as they don't need 4 T3 pgens adjacency.

This isn't the place to complain about Novax balance, it's a bug report thread.

Make your own balance thread if you'd like, but don't complain here.

@deribus bad mod turned on

Novax works fine in: https://replay.faforever.com/17109571

@Lenkin does it still happen?

Lenkin

no @Jip

What has always been an issue for novaxes is that u cant groundfire them. Well you can, but the lazer stops shooting once you retarget rendering the groundfire useless 99% of the time. Its kinda like old novax, but just for groundfire

Lenkin

@Jip it happens again #17249089 novax killes 1 target and stop atack.

Jip

And a lot of times it just works as usual. We didn't touch the Novax, as far as I am aware it has always been like this.

Lenkin

@Jip and again. It happens every time. Its broken, i play a lot with Novaxes before and now its usless p of s

@Lenkin as you were told Novax works correctly. The only reason it works for YOU wrong is groundfiring. May be due to RUI mod.

Lenkin

@Ctrl-K i knew about novax all, and i never use ground fire. It just broken!
