Notoriously buggy, yet I see nothing in the patch notes. Again.

Buddy, you're the only one I still have faith into. Can the community PLEASE get a little reasoning from ZOS why they're doing nothing? Thank you.

    I don't know about "notoriously".
    Not saying health desync isn't a thing, but i can count on one hand the times it has happened to me.

    I can count a ton more. Add to that the number of folks that almost get you trying it but by some miracle you survive. It's a big issue its that broken, like rune cage break free was and fear.

    Rune cage took 5 nerfs yet wasn't fixed and yet snipe remains broke as heck and strong. We need to stick together as players when a skill is broken

    Happens too often to be ignored, especially as it has gone on for SO. LONG.
    And it goes against game design. As Beard pointed out, if Snipe undefendable instakills are okay, then why had Rune Cage to be changed? ZOS supposedly have this mantra that if something is broken, it gets fixed. But they are reeeally selective about applying that mantra.

    In any case, I don't want a solution before breakfast. I just want acknowledgement. COMMUNICATION.

    Maybe turn it into this weapon's spammable. Problem eliminated and bow usefulness boosted by 800%. Win in my book.

    I have splendid idea for ZoS how to test the cause of bugs on this ability. Take focused aim and make it instant cast. Now monitor if it still happens. If yes try another change and reduce range to classic 28. If still, change arc curve to straight flight. Basically use this opportunity to create good bow spammable and perform debugging at same time.

    I've heard a lot of discussion on risk/reward of skills and counter play in eso. There's no risk to be 28 meters away and have a stun/defile/22k tool tip ability.

    I think the damage should be reduced quite a bit, the desync needs to be addressed, and a fix for ganking would be that the channel pulls you out of stealth.

    It doesn't have to be all of those things, but snipe has been untouched for a while and it should be addressed.

    Man, I have made a ton of threads about this, with video proof. It's so sad that no one at zos gives a ***.

    My threads with video evidence get ignored by zos and filled with troll snipers defending thier skill until zos closes it for "baiting".

    Good news is it won’t be AS bad since the stealthy passive was removed. It still will suck though

    Gilliam had a good idea for what to do with the ability. I hope it gets implemented.

    I can’t count on one hand how many times this happens to me a day.


    So many times I die look at my Death recap and 5-10 secs later a 9k snipe hits me as I’m already dead.

    The game even gives me an error “ You can’t do that while dead”

    I wasn’t dead when I activated whatever it says I was doing
