Blade of Woe and other pick pocketing issues

SGT_Wolfe101st

Since the latest patch on PS4 I am having lots of issues with the BoW synergy. I will crouch behind a NPC, I can usually pick without issue, however at random times my BoW will simply stop working. I will not get the prompt for the synergy, this is not on elite mobs or anything like that, these are standard NPC's out in the world. I cannot tell when or why this issue happens, it appears to be random. This issue will persist until I log out and log back in. This will happen if solo and when in a group. It tends to be more apparent in Vvardenfell, but I don't pick pocket much anywhere else so it may be everywhere.

The other issue is NPC pathing post Update 17. They will stop, turn, move sideways, walk in "slow motion" the detection range is all wonky, they will "see" from directly behind, invisible NPC's will detect you from Sovngarde I guess. Considering the only mechanism for obtaining certain motifs and housing items is to pick pocket, it would be really great if the skills worked properly. Can someone look into this and see if this is a known issue. Thanks. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

I have also noticed the pathing issues, and also sometimes when using blade of woe on a moving target they will slide along the floor after they've been killed

Also will mention on a toon maxed in legardeman 4 points in light fingers getting caught at 100% to 85% happens like it used to at 75 -65%, the suspicious rubberbanding resembles bad scripting also after BoW them they appear at the place they would have walked to often in the terrain resulting in being unlootable.

We PC users have been very vocal about all the recent issues in regards to picking, BoW, and detect issues. We might as well be speaking Latin to a statue.

yup, blade of woe quite frequently not working at all now (no prompt, regardless of range, etc.).

@ZOS_GinaBruno are we being heard or just screaming Latin at statues?
