When ever i go prone and try a adv.Sniper or go undercover and try a cover shot, the warmup timer ( yellow bar )

does it's thing, but i never shoot.


it used to work fine.


my ranged arm is in full repair, im using an ADK'ed Adv. Laser Rifle.


im a master rifleman, master pistol, and master marksman.


so i have the skills, i have the gun. any ideas,


i have submitted bug report but as usual no response.


any ideas whats wrong, or is this a bug. ??


thanks.


on a side note if i switch to other weapon , like a pistol. it will fire like it's susposed. to. rifle problem seems like the

likly cause. but this rifle is adk"d since before the CU.

my first guess would be an LoS issue, a lot of times you'll have a visual on the target, but the game will still think you can't see it. This would happen more often with the rifle than other weapons because it fires as a longer range.. Beyond that, i too have had an attack just not go off a time or two, but not with the frequency you seem to be experiencing, and not with a specific weapon.

Im not sure but I think this is due to lag. Sometimes when I prone and sniper I hear the windup but dont get the bar across the screen nor does it shoot but a couple secs later when I hit sniper shot it works as designed. I think the server gets confused with lag that you are in the process of getting in position when you actually ARE in position.

Anyway...thats just my theory.

Yeah, that is what I see also, happens with all shots, buffs that have the yellow wind up bar.


Knock down, Aim, Cover, Sniper shot, cover shot, etc.

No... I havent knowticed any problems with the warm up or cool down, however i have see much worse problems..


I am nearly capped on riflespeed, capped on general speed, capped on rifle acc... just master rifleman agian today for the 3rd time, i go to test a few specials IE- SniperShot In pvp, and i do 433 damage, after loging a few times, removing all armor, removing sea's and damage out put didnt seem to help... I also removed my ranged arms which made no difference at all eaither..


Anyone else like this having any problems... I am curious to know..



Thanks..

I found out the problem, and verified many times.


If you have a repeating macro running in the backround like a loot or harvest macro,

it seems to Cancel the shot.


turned off the macro and all was fine.


turned off and on many times to verify that was the problem,


it was very repeatable.


my macro was


/harvest meat;

/Loot;

/macro harvest;


Very simular to the trade bug, if macro running closes the trade window.

when i did a sniper on a jedi guardian with all his 'glowie stiff' going, i took his health down quite a bit (between 1/3 to a half), granted my max on my caster with a pu is 1251, so that plus it being kinetic might have somethign to do with it.
