blade of woe woes

xilfxlegion · June 2016

anyone else having a problem with the blade of woe ? as in sometimes even though the prompt comes up, the kill doesnt happen ? the screen flickers for a second but it doesnt kill the person.

on a related note --- anyone else having a problem with phantom guards ? as in there is no one around except your target and yet the second you kill them a guard magically appears out of nowhere and youre instantly detained or attacked ?

I'm having a problem with the prompt coming up - I believe it is suppose to show when pickpocking is available but it doesn't - theres a delay at times.

I get that one also.

I have noticed this on moving targets. The animation starts and then cancels when they move out of range. Once it happened twice on the same target. Lag might have also been part of the problem.

I think the blade of woe has a couple of issues. For example you can knock your self out of the animation if you move at the right moment. Or the mob can knock you out if they move.

it is also strange to me and i know this is most likely totally in my head. But it feels like it is sluggish and much more likely to break on my Khajiit NB then my Brenton templar. Maybe the way they sneak just makes me think they are closer or something.

This also happens when you are trying to use the BoW on a target that is in a group, many times one of the NPCs in the group will spot you at exactly the same time you activate the BoW... although the BoW sound continues, the screen/animation flickers but no kill occurs.

I ran into this once.

The target was standing at a building corner with his back right up against the corner, and I was off to the side so I wouldn't be seen. I got the prompt, it played the noise, but nothing happened.

I assumed the corner counted as an obstruction, and blocked the action.

The only problem I have so far is feeding instead of killing.

I've noticed in my dailies for dB, I'll be safely hidden, the x comes up, I press it, and it not only doesn't work, but the target turns around immediately and spots me. It's irritating.

Yes the Blade seems a bit... touchy...

If you are not directly behind the target, with no obstructions, and both of you are not moving, then it will not always "fire". Also have issues with feeding since, for no logical reason, the Feed and Blade action use the same button. There have been a few times I meant to kill and the npc moves so it switches to Feed instead. Very annoying.
