It was a dumb idea to begin with but now all cyrodiil is at the best of time is zergs spamming snipe on one person, there’s no real PvP anymore it’s just whoever can spam snipe the hardest. Why’d you allow snipe to be the first skill you unlock smh

    Actually it is the over performing poisons that make sniping so viable for my stamblade.
    But that is kind of a good thing with all the very hard to kill builds out there.

    If you can coordinate a raid to focus snipe one person in this game you deserve the kill.

    I raid lead for a couple of years and coming from EVE tried to get focus fire, it's not easy in this game at all.

    Most snipers run solo or in small 4 to 5 man groups.
    It is great fun and a way to play without having to be in a zerg.

    I actually thought you meant the auto firing of heavy attacks. That's what I want reverted or made into a toggle.

    So you think more people are spamming Snipe because they made it the first skill that is unlocked? Unlikely. Bow is still a terrible mainhand weapon sadly.

    Oh? Has something changed then - what I remember as a PvP-archer is that all the sniping works only until the DK flap their wings...

    But from a historical point of view... it would make sense, longbows -were- killer on medieval battlefirlds after all!

    Agreed.
    Even if that kill is me.
    You don't go into cyrodil expecting all to fall before you like when you grind mobs. You should be realistic and expect to keep respawning whenever the tide of battle squishes you like a bug... ;)

    Wut. People were spamming snipe from zergs since forever. It is the only good stamina ranged ability in the game. Make 4 other good and people will start spamming different skills (like happens with magicka players)

    Plus your reasoning is just dumb. Great majority of players in PVP are near or way above 50 lvl. Therefore having unlocked all bow abilities by now.

    Snipers are terrifying, so yeah keep the changes where they are. A sniper is usually dead if you find them but if not? Keeps ya on your toes :wink:<3

    Lets see because the first ability you get for 2 handed is uppercut, the first one for templar is solar flare, for sorc is shards for warden is shalk, so yeah, it makes sense. Stop being but thurt about ranged, its already been nerfed into the ground.

    Groupfinder:
    The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

    • The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
    • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
    • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
    • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
    • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
    • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    Here's a few how things go after any death... *clears throat*

    "Wow way to WB spam!"
    "Way to spin to win!"
    "Way to snipe spam!"
    "Nice proc sets L2P!"
    "Ugh Destro Ults are OP"
    "Sorcs are OP NERF THEM NOW!"

    Just a few examples. It isn't what you use, it isn't what you do, it's that you won and somebody's salty that that wasn't them that won.

    Amen.

    It's the ridiculous tank meta that's killing PvP. Hold RMB & roll face on keyboard - much fun. Running low on health with 15 people hitting you? No problem, just hold block & spam heals.

    And clearly you don't play PC to know how 100% useless the skill is in Cyrodiil when people get a 1 second heads up with a 3rd party cheat addon before a snipe (or any other cast time ability) is even in the air.

    Well I mean I’m making a console thread it’s pretty evident that I don’t play PC
