ZoS this is absolutely absurd. When are you going to fix it? The skill hits 3x at once, honestly this is as bad as players being invisible unintentionally form that costume a few months back. I've gotten so used to it that it's practically a feature.

Desync- server issue in which some real time movements of the hit box didnt get registered in the server or didnt register correctly.
This means you were already dead... And you can not react when youre dead. Health desync happens from all sorts of things in eso, not just from snipe and health desync will conitinue to exist in online video games such as eso.
Im waiting for the "you were deliberately desynced by a snipe glitcher" comment.9 -

✭This is what you get. Every time. A bunch of finger pointing people who know the skill desyncs and want to try to discredit any post that talks about it. Why? Because they know if SNIPE worked as intended they wouldn't get kills all day and would need to find something else to do in game. They'll troll til the thread is shut down, and go back to running around desyncing people. Whatever lol.Edited by ZarkingFrued on February 18, 2020 4:23AM8 -

Wrong. Everyone has thier own ruleset and conditions that must be met in order to determine wether an action performed by an enemy in cyrodil is acceptable or not. If you dont live up to this special code of conduct then you are trash.
Basically if you wont stand in melee at least 500m from any other player from your alliance (so as not to be a zergling) then you are trash. If you do do those things but end up dieing then youre also trash.
But seriously i play all classes and builds. Main magedk mostly since mageplar is kinda rediculous (which incidently is why you see the same small premade groups running multiple of them) and i feel everyone should just chill the hell out and accept that cyrodil isnt just about zergs, or solos, or ganks, or small scale premades or brawlers or ranged. It has everything and your plastyle is NOT the most important or correct. That is ignorant. Anything goes. Accept it.

He was attacked by guards and a sniper but never showed the death recap to show the full context of the damage done to him, notice hes an orc with SnB. 2 12k snipes (as you stated) with the guards damage, so He was attacked simultaneously by guards and a sniper. 12x2=24k damage stacked with the guard damage, we dont know the players resitances, were there more than 1 sniper? Its not shown, 2 12k snipes isnt enough to 2 piece him with snipe alone taking into account the physical resistance. The player was probably hit by 3 or 4 snipes as he went to engage the guards.biminirwb17_ESO wrote: »Looks like the video shows you getting hit by 2 snipes at almost the same time, both hitting you for almost 12k damage.

✭✭✭✭✭its caused by lagg
snipe is not the only skill does this dysinc, the same thing happens from all the skills in pvp.
However snipe is the biggest offender is this category simply because it have extremly high range and it's cast time ability. Combining those 2 features and lag creates situation where You can end up shooting 1 or 2 additional snipes before 1st one hits the target because cast time of snipe is longer then abilities global cooldown plus it have travel time. Now let's also add fact that snipe have the highest tooltip among all smappamble abilities and the issue game currently have with snipe occurs. It's very powerfull ability even without lag. Snipe is one of those abilities where ZoS needs to acknowledge the fact it cannot work the way it is right now with the state of ESO servers. It's not coincidence most of the complains about being dead to the health desync involves snipe. And btw snipe can desync even without lags. I would say there are some issues with how snipe works inbetween server and 2 clients in general.Edited by Juhasow on February 18, 2020 12:33PM5 -

Desync- server issue in which some real time movements of the hit box didnt get registered in the server or didnt register correctly.
This means you were already dead... And you can not react when youre dead. Health desync happens from all sorts of things in eso, not just from snipe and health desync will conitinue to exist in online video games such as eso.
Im waiting for the "you were deliberately desynced by a snipe glitcher" comment.
There is something specifically wrong with snipe and how it desyncs. I play this game a lot. A lot. I think I know which skill desyncs my health every single time. Every. Single time. I. Get. Desynced. Its. From. Snipe. Do. You. Understand? I don't care anymore, games PvP is dying a very sad death.
So this is a secret nerf snipe thread
I would rather call it "If Your game can't handle it then balance it around state of the game instead of trying different options and failing all the time" thread.
There are ways to make snipe still effective yet not causing issues it currently creates. The simpliest one would be lowering the tooltip and removing the cast time and optionally increasing speed of the projectile which is basically making it instant cast range projectile. Have You ever heared about people desyncing to those ?0 -
Dalsinthus✭✭✭✭✭
✭It’s possible for both of these things to be true :
-archers and asssassins are totally legitimate playstyles/builds.
-snipe is a glitchy skill that often produces health desyncs and therefore does not allow for pvp counter play.
The whole bow skill line needs an overhaul. It suffers from lack of access to major brutality, lack of burst / stun combos without the asylum bow, among other issues. I’d like to see snipe turned into an instant cast spammable with about a 40% damage reduction. It seems like the combo of cast time and lag produce all the complaints about this skill.4 -

He started the fight and got some damage from guards and Had 22.6k health when the desync happend. Ressource empty and suddenly Boom:
11.800
11.500
Damage in one second. He was unable to react even tho he should have a smal gap between both snipes to Block/dodge or whatever due to the cast time. Ofc we dont know If there were two snipers but i highly doubt that they can both hit their snipes at the exact same time.
I dont have a Problem with players ganking but when you watch the video with your eyes open you can see that how he died it was clearly a desync caused by snipe from stealth. And even ZOS admitted snipe is causing health desync and they have engineers working on this issue. Sure its still in and i dont know what type of engineers they hired to fix it but at least they aknowledged.

"High burst damage from stealth (mostly via Snipe and Overload) needed better ques (as opposed to flat nerfs). ZOS told us they were working on bugs (such as Snipe health desynchs) to help and suggested that they may look into PvP burst damage more generally"

jadarock✭✭✭✭✭If it didnt desync it wouldn't even be an issue
(Going to die on this hill)
Lowering the tool tip anymore and it wont be worth slotting I already dropped poison inject for that exact reason.... I dont need more mediocre at best bow skills. Pretty much every skill in the bow line is shrugged off by competent opponents including snipe when it doesn't desync. Prove me wrong...
This isnt all that hard to figure out as a sniper of 4 years. If they(zos) cant fix the desync they should have increased the cast time slightly and left the damage alone when they nerfed dmg and shortened cast time a few months ago.
(Imo pretty clueless change)
It's a snipe make the skill for wall defense and or an opener from stealth not something that can be spammed like now.
SNIPE PROBLEM SOLVED.

✭I would love to see the hp sync from the sniper’s perspective and a “how to” to reliably cause the desync. Until then, I assume it is a server issue. No, I do not and will not use snipe in its current form. Too many inherent disadvantages to it, it has overall no place on my bar for pvp.2 -
xWarbrain✭✭✭✭✭This has become derailed with people talking about "playstyle" and opinions that have NOTHING to do with OP.
@KillsAllElves you are correct in that not every snipe is a desync. Its just most of the Snipes. No one cares about actual Snipe. The issue is with the skill being BROKEN. No one cares that its not your fault, that its on the server side, that it looks like a properly functioning skill on your end. You don't need to defend it or yourselves.
This isn't about liking the skill or not. This isn't about being a really, really, really, skilled Nightblade or being able to outplay anyone. Its not about other players needing to learn to defend themselves better. Its not about preferring another skill, playstyle, class or other type of content in the game. It has NOTHING to do with "git gud" or L2P.
ITS ABOUT THE SKILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT IS BROKEN AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY ZOS.
If my Deep Fissure hit you three times before making a sound or showing any animation whatsoever, you'd have no shot of surviving. That would be the exact same thing that is happening with Snipe. I'd look pretty stupid if I told you that you were "outplayed" after that.XB1 NA
Your nerf suggestion is dumb. Learn to counter other players instead of having the game rebuilt to your ability level.15 -

[Snip]
IF you have a problem with the assassin playstyle and the class (NB) than you need to complain to the developer about your issue. Until then, the sniper assassin playstyle is working per developers discretion. And snipers have the same amount of privilage to play this video game as the melee ranged player has!
[Edited to remove bait]
The real issue here is that you feel like no in PvP gives one ounce of credit to your playstyle, and you're right. 100% right. No one finds your playstyle valid but the people who do the same thing. It's the only playstyle in game that gets that treatment. That's ok tho. Validate yourself instead of having a breakdown on my forum thread. THE SKILL IS GLITCHED. THE SKILL IS GLITCHED. THE. SKILL. IS. GLITCHED. We're not here to discuss one individuals insecurities. We're here to discuss a glitch. Lol.
Lol youre clearly upset an assassin out played you
Reading your comments i can tell youre going to get your thread locked. Repetitively typing the same statement in caps doesnt help your position nor is the skill "glitched".
You got killed by a sniper get over it.
I can assure you a snipe "assassin" has never "outplayed" me.(it's called a Nightblade). There is a very limited number of people on my server who can "outplay" me, and none of them are snipers who only know how to spam one skill over and over. A snipe gank is not out played, it's attacking someone who doesn't know you're attacking them, and has no way to react as the animation does not show BECAUSE THE SKILL IS GLITCHED. They do however hide from 30 feet away and spam snipe to desync my health bar while I fight their entire group solo, because it's the only way they could ever have a shot at killing me even with 5+ people. If I know where my resource bars and health bar stand, they're going to lose. I guess if that makes them proud of themselves somehow then honestly I just feel bad for them and would like to teach them how to play the game.Edited by ZarkingFrued on February 18, 2020 9:00PM4 -

✭For those with the common L2p bait comments. Please refrain from commenting your bait comments until your skill level in this game has reached at least this point. Until then understand that I haven't a fairly high understanding of the game, and may know a thing or two. If you're capable of this kind of PvP gameplay, then I can't understand why you would defend a glitch.

✭I would also like to make the point that they just fixed the bow Ulti because it was desyncing health bars after certain circumstances. That does not fit with the theories placed in the comments about how it's "just lag". If it's just lag then they wouldn't have needed to fix the coding that caused the desync. I'm only asking the devs to investigate it further, as every high tier player I know is aware of the blatant desync caused by this skill in particular.3 -

✭I would love to see the hp sync from the sniper’s perspective and a “how to” to reliably cause the desync. Until then, I assume it is a server issue. No, I do not and will not use snipe in its current form. Too many inherent disadvantages to it, it has overall no place on my bar for pvp.
I've seen it. I have friends who snipe people. It's gross. The player on their screen has no clue what's happening, and after they die they continue to run around like a chicken with its head cut off. I'll see if I can get a video of it form them, though I'm sure they would be reluctant to show one.3
