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

GreenHere

Some of those videos seemed like avoidable deaths (either by hearing the audio warning of an incoming Snipe or simply not running around with ~20k health and low resists), but in a couple I couldn't hear the Snipe cue at all... which is an issue, imo. One of the few ways to counter a Snipe is to know it's coming, but if the audio tell is silenced somehow then... I dunno...

Might be worth looking into, if there is indeed a way to silence the intended warning Snipe gives your target.

As far as getting hit with multiple Snipes in a short amount of time, much of that is due to being able to fire off multiple shots while the projectile is still traveling to the target. At max range, you can get at least 3 off in succession before the first lands. Lag probably makes them "hit all at once" on the receiving end more often than we'd like, but not sure if anything can be done about that.

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.

Is server performance a skill related bug?

I think the skill is fine. It’s server performance mixed with projectile travel time and poor ISP connections in my opinion.

I’m not clear why you blame other players.

That one in particular seems like evidence of lag being the culprit. If you listen closely, behind all the other noise, you'll hear the Snipes being fired off one after another long before the dude in the vid dies. Sniper was probably like, "WTF?! How am I not hitting this gu--- oh, nevermind..." before all their shots finally landed.

Also, the one who posted the video was an AP water balloon... 20k health is not enough to withstand multiple Snipes if you're just standing there taking them, even if you are blocking.

It is sad that you don't understand the problem is not snipe~

And using other people's vids that enjoy ball groups~

Pffft I totally understand its desync. But zos won't fix it and the skills bugs because of it. Still doesn't mean they shouldn't try to fix it.

@ZOS_JesC how about instead of removing baiting comments, you comment about your position on this matter? Do yall even care?

I have never once blamed other players for the skill being bugged. I blame players for saying there is nothing wrong with this skill. You can't replicate that desync with ANY other skill.

There have been about 5 threads on this, this week alone. It's getting worse. It's not a l2p situation. The desync and other factors are being exploited now to the nth degree. 2-3 Focused aims are hitting me before a sound is even heard, along with other skills. Less than second apart. Every night it plagues Cyro a little more as people realize how foolproof it is. I'm watching rank 50 former Emps with 35k hp drop right in front of people like flies. Everyone goes into search and destroy mode, no one can find the NB, someone else drops without a sound. Rinse and repeat. God help you if there's more than one of them.
