When the opponent's money ball is down and I deploy a fire base that is in range of the money ball but can't fire at it due to some obstruction (glass, the platform around the spawn, etc) the fire base won't actually do anything except stay fixated on the money ball. It won't even shoot into the obstruction. Specifically noticed this in LaseRazor when I placed a fire base by hot shot spawn area. It was on the ground floor, in the left bot path (Hotshots frame of reference) near the glass. Noticed this again in AmmoMule I think it was, when I placed a fire base on the upper ring of the other team's spawn, far enough in that it couldn't hit the money ball through the platform.
i would like to add to this. sometimes when i throw out my FB to close to a wall or ledge it takes my ability away but the firebase didnt spawn... i have also seen the firebase go through the floor more than once, i couldnt see the FB just the 3.3 ring but my friends could see it and it could shoot normally. on more than one occasion my heal gun will be healing but the beam is like fixated on something across the map. ^^ these last 2 could be lag related... and i have also noticed this once maybe twice but is probably lag, after i had the same firbase for along time it basically broke - possibly similar to what you^ are saying but mine was shooting bots and then it would not shoot anything it just keeps looking down. on one occasion it only started shooting once it got shot, but it was point blank so not range related. hope this helps better the game peace brotha's
it also happens with guns on your character, i've noticed while using a sniper there are times when i have a clear shot at a downed moneyball or player down in that region and my bullet hits an invisible barrier doing no damage.
Known issue, check the stickied thread. Known issue, its cosmetic, you're still healing your target. Thats why the stickied "Known issues" thread is there.
I have something to add that isn't on the known list. A lot of people have been saying that the firebase can see cloaked assassins, well that is true. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen. I don't think this is a firebase only bug though. I have seen other turrets (mostly lazerblazers for some reason) open fire on cloaked assassins as they run by.
For the love of PitGirl (lmaowtf?) can everybody just STOP TRYING TO GET THE SUPPORT BUFFED! I do not care, and everyone else that agree's that the Support is currently over-powered (which is a large amount of people) does not care that your little firebase can't shoot the money-ball somtimes, or that it gets bugged in a certain spot. I'm glad your firebase doesn't work right next to the moneyball; you shouldn't even be able to place it near the moneyball/spawn point at all!
Firebases will see cloaked Assassins, but only if the start-up animation for the skill has not finished. This is true for the fodder and turrets, as well. If they do see a cloaked Assassin during this start-up animation for the cloak skill, they will continue to "see" them until they break LOS.
