Snipe desync issues in pvp

cheifsoap

There are some serious issues when being sniped in pvp and they all appear to be desync issues. 4 snipes from the same person in 1 second. If I had a recording I would post it but I'm sure other people have them. I'm not suggesting nerfing snipe but fix the desync issues please.

This has been an issue forever and people hate the bow skill line because of it. I had hoped they would fix it with the recent number adjustments in snipe but I just had it happen to me this weekend - fighting a big group at full health one moment, abilities lock up and dead the next, followed by the sounds and animation of lethal arrow.

If this was an anomaly I'd understand it not being fixed but its purposely being abused. I'd argue that people are exploiting the game due to that.

delete snipe

its a real problem at mo especially if they are using at range and you dont hear the shots you just walking about then DEAD re-cap reads Snipe x6 not saying everyone is exploiting it but needs to be addressed sooner rather than later

Nerf it back to how it was in elswyer, its a cowards way to play anyway.

It needs to become a regular spammable. Remove the cast time, decrease the damage, just make it Force Pulse with bow visuals. That way ZOS doesn't have another desync to fix and they get to Standardize another skill.

I think this is the correct approach. It seems like the cast time is the core issue here, with pvp lag and possible exploiting contributing. Give the bow line a functional and competitive spammable with no cast time.

OP are you on landline or Wi-Fi for system connection?

Just because your ( ESO) system is trash. PLAYERS want what is somes, last hard hitting skill removed.
lol you all are an joke, tbh how about fixing their game. over killing off another skill!!!!!!!
And im saying this as an bow user but
LA- cloak-PI-HA is my way of xing not the 4xs LA so please dont kill off an good skill because of poor game performance

Gatdangmayne

The entire bow skill line is a joke. Every skill is buggy and annoying to fight against, since there's often no counterplay considering the bow spammer is in permacloak at their gate.

Snipe and the ult literally are only effective by desyncs.

no one can "permacloak" if we attack someone it not only removes us from stealth but it also keeps us out of stealth because your being damaged by us, so untill that damage is done calculating we cannot stealth.
secondly, the damage from bow and bow skills is weak and has been nerfed repeatedly because of threads like these.
if you build for pure damage to others and then have zero input of defenses in your build then you cant blame others nor a skill nor any weapon, the blame goes on how much damage protection have you build on your character.

No, you can cloak and are only pulled out when you do damage, so besides inject and enchants, you can permacloak - and even with a dot on someone, you can cloak after every tick.

I rarely run a glass cannon build. Although whether im on pure damage or tanky with little damage, it doesn't matter...bows are only effective with desyncs or Xv1ing someone from a mile away.

It's not about fun, or archer rp fantasy; it's about being bad at the game and not wanting to learn how to play. Literally every other spec in the game needs a decent amount of game knowledge to succeed, bow users are the type to continue to spam while the opponent has a SnB ulti up - or argue when i tell them spamming poison inject is far less effective than hitting it once and spamming light attacks.

Funny how i pin pointed an emp the other day in the middle of his 4 man bodyguard group and with x2 LA ( cloak in between each for critical hit / resistance buff) PI and AS from 12 - 0 meters i killed him before his 4 man group could ulti dump me and spamm light attacks to kill 1 solo bow running stamblade lol so i guess that in your books = no skill but that dead emp said Otherwise

Emps are usually not very skilled.

Either way what you're describing definitely sounds like it needs nerfed!

4 hits to down an emp??? Man, bows are more broken OP than i thought

Lol no its called skill yes we can focus 1 player down but 99% of the time thats all we can do because while doing so 4+ others got to jump us but in your heavy armor 50k health builds i understand why it takes so many to kill 1 player lol we all aint cowards that runs in groups or afraid to die like its real life
And btw i run all (7) medium armor with divine and 1 infused , x2 blood on jewelry wd enchantment, with Thief Mundus I won't tell you my sets but know they're all gold

Gatdangmayne

Nordic i run solo, literally 90% of the time, and have never ran a build with more than 35k health (which had no resists btw), and have literally never ran a heavy armor build.

I have 1vX'd you multiple times.

Meanwhile, u permacloak with procsets and bowspam and call it skill
