Snipers...

[Ryme]

The reason people do this is so that they get credit for killing the mob..... The way Trion sees it, even if you are in an instance and grouped, you shouldn't get credit for killing something without damaging it. So, many people feel the need to 'tag' each mob before they die, who needs teamwork when the team is going to deny you xp, loot, arksalvage etc...

This is a actually win-win, since there is also a pursuit where you have to kill things other people have tagged.

did anyone else lose ALL their accuracy when they updated? or was this just me my good snipe has Zer0 accuracy now i would be happy to hit the broad side of a barn

I have just come here for the exact same reason. No matter how carefully I aim, the shot is random!

there is something odd with adding a Scope to the Sniper Rifles reduces the zoom on the scope then what the rifle had originally so your aiming will be off ... if your going for head shots aim for the neck is what seems to work the best ... and do not add a Scope Mod to the Sniper rifles maybe one time for the pursuit but never again.

Same problem here, on PC, can't hit my target, with full lvl 3 blue mods... great...

It seems that the adding of a scop is the problem, see the results:

10 shots with scope:

Same thing happened to me when I logged in this evening. It's weird. Other sniper rifles I have work fine but the one currently equipped in my first loadout is completely off. I can't hit the broad side of a Monarch all of a sudden.

Sorry, I did not feel any difference.

buddy of mine came into the game, couldn't hit a damn thing with this sniper rifle and logged. Its the little crap like this that turns people away. This rickety code is thin ice when it comes to updates and its getting old...

Hello There,

After this most recent update I suppose it was 1.0.13. My main sniper ranger rifle with all mods on including scope. Besides maxed out on exp seems to veer to the left in sway. Every 2nd or 3rd shot misses on the npc target by not even registering. (My platform is the PC)

It seems for "Trion" to put out a patch designed for consoles and the PC. It's getting very difficult patching it for all platforms without a bug rearing its head on one platform over another.

I would also like to add that I am unable to snipe now as well. I recently modified a rifle with that same blue "distance" scope the previous poster put screen shots of... I now can not hit anything.

I tried an old rifle, that appeared to work, but all newly modified rifles are off for me...

Now with this bug, lack of content, bunny hoppers, auto-aiming and locking weapons, one shot shotguns, over-all ******ation of a 3rd person FPS... my hope for actual support and changes is pretty much gone.

I am both glad and sad that I'm not the only one this is happening to.

I really wish there was a way to remove the offending scope mod without having to destroy all the attached mods.
