So while I knew in the past, today I saw how deadly priest auto-fire can be.

You can literally sit back, and click enemies, and it'll non-stop fire artty at them.. can even barrage and continue to do this.. while you need to see targets to fire, its pretty handy.

Bug most likely.

Replay, because I doubt this can happen, as it doesn't have "Auto search targets" enabled on its weapons

ok. maybe -semi-automatic fire would be better.

example

forward element sees infantry guy, click priest, click on unit with attack function
priest will shell that unit till it dies, even if it looses LOS..

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

it's an exploit. It doesn't auto fire but you can click on a target and it'll keep firing at it even in fow.

I was listening to it fire in keiths speakers, I didn't get around to fixing it last night but will look at it today for sure.

it is an exploit and anyone doing it will be dealt with as per the rules and regulations of exploitation.

Thanks Vivie for posting the details on that, I know you briefly mentioned finding out about it right before I went to bed, and was going to ask you to post the details on the forum, glad you had the foresight to do that so Salan can look into it.

Now I wonder if this bug can be recreated with any of the artillery pieces like Hummels and 25lbs?  Maybe its a thing with mobile artillery if this bug was working like that?

Like to replicated it.

When priest is in range for its normal barrage.
You just click attack a unit, like you would if you wanted to target soemthing specifically, and the priest will fire its guna, w/o consuming any barrage cooldowns.

This range is restricted to its closest ranged barrage.

I discovered this by esc'ing out of the barrage one time and still having clicked the unit, and seeing 1 shell go across.

This effectiveky creates a Gatling gun priest that only has to stop to reload.

This is also EASY to do on accident because if you click on anything after placing your barrage your priest will then start firing at it as above.
