Snipe Bug, 0 counterplay, why is this still a thing zos

Datthaw

Title says it all. For those who dont know I'll explain.

I'm running through cyro.

I drop dead instantly

I say wtf and look at recap

1 lethal arrow
2 lethal arrow
3 lethal arrow
4 damage health poison
5 poison injection

This skill is bugged to hell and somehow a few snipers have figured out how to do it. It always seems to be the same few who can pull this consistantly.

For zos to say they want to get rid if things that don't have counterplay...
Well here you go zos, this has 0 counterplay, it's broken, it's the most annoying thing ever. Fix it it's been years and I'm getting tired of it.

Let's just flood this thread with every snipe bug video we have until zos addresses it....

It's atleast worth a try even though I know this will be ignored

Tbf the combat and combat mechanics are bad in ESO...

If you take PvP seriously or treat it as a competitive environment then id recomnend playing a proper PvP game that is competitive and not a public / gearedtowin with exploits casual PvP experience

Dude this game has great potential for pvp, and don't defend zos on this. They have reworked skills in the paSt because they were broken. For some reason they ignore snipe

Great potential???

You must be playing a different game than I am...

The lore is good, trials are fun as is PvP, but combat and the mechs are dire.

This. I have a lot of fun pvping in this game, but it's legit clunky and has a lot of bugs and exploits. Lag also affects the play a lot more than in other games.

Datthaw

See this is the problem with you people. There is legit evidence of a bug that could be fixed and you're like. "Well pvp has alot of bugs"...... duh that's why I'm asking to get one fixed. And pvp does have potential, idk what game youre playing. When cyro s not lagging like crazy and I'm not getting zerged ESO pvp is the best pvp I have played.

Maybe block or dodge roll~ You can see it clear as day in the video~

Also are those vids even yours~?

They have to fix lag to fix Snipe and its morphs.
Server/client desync is the culprit.
I can show death recaps of other skills like frags and dizzying swing with the same problem, any skill with a cast or travel time.

I don't see lag being fixed anytime soon~

TequilaFire

I don't see it being fixed anytime soon either since they seem to be concentrating on "balance" rather than performance.
Funny thing is if they improved the performance balance would come easier.

In that specific video you can. But when I’ve experienced this you don’t see or hear the snipes until after you’re dead. Then you see the 3-4 snipes hitting your dead body.

No they aren't my videos, I don't run shadowplay. But still that just shows that videos on all platforms the same problem.

Girl_Number8

The OP put it up as proof showing bad players that died because they didn't bother even defending themselves~

There are so many variables in PvP but it is not uncommon with lag to have a lot of hits all at once from every class not just Nightblades~

Which in the second video the other nightblade died just fine~

The problem is not the skill but performance of the game~

Totally agree.

I heard the first one clear as day. He didn’t react until three hit him and then he stayed in range and hit vigor. LOL.

As soon as you hear the first one hit, dodge roll. They usually won’t follow it up again.

When they have us fighting over nerfs, they will always take the cheapest way out~

You can defend this broken skill all you want. It's broken there is evidence of it. Any good player will agree it's bugged

Actually they didn't~ You would still die to other things~

I love how the snipe spammers come out and defend this.

Any decent player I know will agree that snipe is bugged. You will get killed with major desync and the snipes stack. Anyone who has spent time in cyro away from the zerg party knows this.

It is really sad how you people won't admit and defend a bug.

It’s definitely the skill in this scenario. I can’t perform this desync with any other skill that is similar including the Templar skill which has same animation and cast time for the most part.

Not defending just pointing out the real cause which needs fixed.

This makes for extremely frustrating gameplay. It has nothing to do with whether the game is competitive or not. There isn't a competitive aspect in this game, so should they just stop fixing bugs completely?

So you should be rewarded for not blocking~

I mean it is a problem with the game not the skill~
