Nova Mprime speed lasts 1/3 of the stated duration

[Zodryn]

At 250% duration, slow Mprime lasts 15 seconds as stated in tooltip, but the hold cast speed version only lasted 5 seconds. It seems the base duration is only 2 seconds for some reason.

Tap and hold casts on Mprime and wormhole are also a little unresponsive, and neutron star has massive after cast lockout as another post mentioned.

Also having the duration problem. Was just about to make a post myself! I have 244% duration, hovering the ability says it should last 15s. Go into a mission it lasts 4s at most. Hopefully it gets fixed in a hotfix.

I'm not seeing this on my end — do you mind sharing your builds or videos of this happening? Are you host vs client, etc?

Thanks!

Hello Taylor, I noticed this testing inside Simulacrum within the Sanctum Simulacrum for certain and was most likely occurring inside Sanctuary Onslaught in my previous run. In the Simulacrum I'm host, in Onslaught I'm uncertain.

Item and Mod load outs:

 

The same issue happens on my Xata's build on the second tab.

Same, Speed part of the ability is only 1/3 of the said in UI duration.

Also, comparing the slow and speed - slow radius is increasing in size a lot slower

It's not a bug. You probably use Speed version of the ability. Speed version spreads faster, and Slow version spreads slower. In both cases you get exactly the same range coverage.

Yes, but the duration stated in tool tip is supposed to be the same for both or at least that is what it communicates. The duration is 1/3rd the amount with the same range; nothing in game indicates that this should be the case.

The reason the slow radius is nice is so it lingers longer, because its costs 100 energy.

Precisely. They just need to either make it more clear that it will be different for slow vs speed, or remove it entirely from the tool tip so that Radius is the primary/only indicator of "area of effect". I also tested it and confirmed that it's the same overall range. Coming from the previous understanding of how it works makes it a bit unintuitive at first.

[Zodryn]

Faster expansion is nice, BUT only lasting 2-5 seconds makes it way more annoying to keep up with the high energy cost. 67% less duration is too much imo.

Please tell me this is a duration bug and not intended. I'm going mad having to recast it every few seconds.

It needs to linger for normal duration like the normal cast or it's a HUGE downgrade.

It's how it works now, and whoever thought this is a good idea... jesus.

You have to cast much often now, this is seriously a big nerf for nova, not a rework.

[-xStorm]

NO WAY ITS INTENDED. NO F**KING WAY

[LuxusImReisfeld]

Bro this has to be a bug lmao. This change made nova's 4 much worse for Defense xdd. I still need 2 builds one for Slow one for Speed now lmao. My Speed build just having a ton more energy generation.
Basically nothing changed for people who uses nova only for speed/slow. You can't use both in one build still. Or you have someone in your team generating massive energy for you.

Here made a short video showing my build and loading into a mission. It happens whether I am the host or client.

Yeah, if this is intended it's awful. Please make the Speed wave work like the Slow wave.
