Seriously ZOS Why the *** hasn’t snipe been fixed. I really want an answer

Koolio

I really want a *** answer.

100’s of posts constantly. Some with thousands of comments.

TequilaFire

By the same 5 people. lol

idk

When you put it that way I am sure Zos will reply promptly

technohic

My guess is because its tied to all the other issues caused by the servers just laging and losing track of abilities in general. Some core part of the game that is messed up. Probably would have to flat out change the ability before it ever being fixed.

What's wrong with Snipe?

Apparently I've missed these 100's of posts and thousands of comments?

Sometimes the server forgets to let you know you that you're getting sniped until you fall over dead.

Zos is not going to reply to every single thread even if they note it as something they may consider. They simply cannot.

Besides, this thread is not reporting a bug, issue or feedback. It is just a complaint without anything for Zos to know what exactly you are speaking of. You are asking when it will be fixed indicating it is broken but it seems to be inflicting daamge just fine.

See where that little bit of detail helps?

Further, what some consider an issue is not really an issue. The forums are filled with threads like that.

There is absolutely nothing in the world wrong with snipe in PvE. I play three different bow/bow characters. Snipe is a decent skill that has its place but no way is it overpowered - the cast time and time of flight make sure of that.

My understanding (remember, PvE only here) is that the concerns are PvP related. I'm sure others will clarify/correct my impressions but it seems between stealth (often reinforced by NB Cloak) and lag / desync concerns some sniper targets are getting hit by two or even three snipes at about the same time. If that is the case, I can certainly see why the lag / desync concerns might be vexing in PvP.

Here’s 15 pages of issues that they know about.

3 hours in Cyrodiil is all they would need.

I don’t want the skill nerfed just to properly let you know that your being sniped.

You act like they have never heard of any issues with the skill

If there is anything of value in those threads I do not know why you did not include them in the OP.

Treads that start off with just a complain and no detail are pretty much ignored by Zos for the reasoning I have already stated. Just FYI for future threads.

Waffennacht

Snipe causes a desync, makes it very difficult to respond to correctly.

I also have a thread and a clip where I'm "dead" run around for 5 sec then flop over etc. I'm paraphrasing but OP is correct, many many many posts and threads about it.

I do feel some improvements have been made and it should be noted

yodased

what would be the proposed way to notify a player they are being sniped? Do you get a warning when someone force pulses you? How about frags or stone fist, these projectiles don't tell you they are being sent you way, what exactly do you mean when you say the game should let you know you are being sniped?

Also a sniper who broadcasts their position and isn't a ghost isn't a very good sniper.

Lag and health desyncs aside, snipe performs as they intend. You don't need the skill itself to be changed, you just need the environment to be stable enough to react to the first snipe hit.

That being said though, a good sniper isn't just going to volley a snipe shot and thats it, you are also going to have a heavy attack and more than likely a poison injection hitting at the same time as snipe.

The real problem is the performance real time of the environment, the symptom is snipe appears to be overperforming.

JumpmanLane

I got sniped by Gilliam last night lol. He was running with these DC I’m on speaking terms with. They normally give me tips and a 1v1 or at least a 1v1+heals. Hehehehe.

They didn’t hesitate to 10v1 me WITH guards...I reckon they were showing off for Gilliam...lmao. Who SNIPED me the one second I didn’t have wings up. Lol

Good luck in getting your answer OP

You are really close. Yes, we're getting hit with 2-3 of them simultaneously, but you don't even know this until you fall over dead and take a look at your death recap. No sound. No graphic. Nothing. Just suddenly dead and confused while some little turd scoots away in cloak to go kill someone else from a safe spot.

Would you like some cheese with that wine?

Speak with your wallets, i finally unsubbed due to the incompetence of ZOS. They will never fix bugs or lag if they can make profit other ways, people keep paying and buying crown store stuff. I finally decided last week to enjoy other games and hopefully the new Conan game tomorrow being announced will be incredible.
