where can i send a video for the dev dudes to see? don't wanna shame anybody.

I'm at a flag in imp city after clearing the guards and im blocking with my staff.

first shot hits me and my stam and magicka drop to zero from 74%l. poisons = cool, i don't care, its the game, chill out snipe spammer. can a poison drop 35k mag? not using ice staff and i didn't cast anything, so ??? help me here.

max mag like 35k---26kish when completely drained.
max stam like 17k

then like 3 more things hit me, last one was a snipe, cool, i like that, cast snipe then other abilities they all land at the same time, that's skill according to folks, cool.

but i turn and as im falling (its in the video) the i see the bow ultimate animation but its not in my death recap.
  1. poison inject
  2. light attack
  3. ravage health
  4. snipe

so confused, someone help me understand this...

and, if i can hit people with bow abilities and EAT 26k mag from them...i'm probably going to do that instead of whatever builds i have running.

    You got snipe bugged. It’s been in the game since launch, a large reason many, including myself, believe the ability should be removed from the game. Basically multiple snipes will kill you before they even hit and the loss of resources is the tell-tale sign of that.

    I cannot think of anything that would drain both your magicka and stam by merely blocking. It is one of the other.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BillE may know some people who may be interested.

    They way this bug was described to me: you took fatal damage but the server hasn't sent all the necessary messages to your client to confirm that you are dead, and this manifests as all your resources disappearing instantly, but you can still run around for a few seconds before dropping dead.

    It's not a cheat or something, you just died instantly and the game lagged behind on letting you know lol.

    Resources dropping to 0 means you are dead but your client hasn't sync'd with the server yet (you can move while this happens). Once the server notices you are indeed RIP, your client receives the server confirmation and you actually die and get the death recap.

    Snipe exploit FTL. Happened to me the other day in bg. Running to a fight, no sounds, no animations, just dead to snipe.

    This is why any nightblade I see gets a detect pot and soul assault no matter what lol

    So any time a NB kills me, I run around for at least 3 more seconds before the server decides to catch up and I drop dead
    Most of the time with at least 11% health remaining on the UI

    Video example of it.

    Essentially I was hit by a half dozen or more attacks before anything even registered. You can also see my stam/mag drop to 0 before I visibly die.
