I can't get it working either and I like this for distance deathblows.

Fix it please.

Go prone, sing a song (I like one potato, two potato, 3 potato, 4), hit sniper shot...works every time. The less time you wait after going prone, and/or moving, the more likely it is for Aim, Cover up, Sniper Shot or Conceal Shot will fail. Patience is your friend.

This also means that our status as 'nukers' lost. Other professions are able to out damage us because they fire moreless powerful shots in shorter timeframes, hence the end result is they give out more damage in the same time period.

Anyway, your theory is interesting but it doesnt work. These are broken. I've tried waiting, but to no avail.

I think the level terrain bug is still in effect.

You can only cover and sniper shot on level ground.

Aims also fail when prone and not on level ground it seems.

Yeah, level ground helps. Forgot to mention it.

Realized while reading another threads that terrain detail updates may be affecting the charcter position updates to the sever, making it think movement has occured and interupting the warm up timer. I don't have any problems with the warmup timer specials if i stay still for a moment beofre using a special. I've also turned down terrain detail (really all detail settings) to improve my framerate performance while hunting and traveling.

That may be a factor, but someone else running high settings and haivng constant problems would need to trun everything down and tell me what happened when they stand still for a moment and the try the warmup timer specials and report the results here.

Level ground is definitely a factor. On Rori, around the rebel base (East or West), there's some ground that is nearly flat, but has small bumps and rises. Very very small. You can see the target's FEET while prone easily yet can't /aim. I learned to use /aim (advanced version, of course) to test LOS prior to engaging a target.

The other thing to note.. that's realistic, is when the target is wondering around trying to see who shot at him, if they randomly walk down into a ditch, I can't fire. He spots me and I'm on defense again. I like this feature.

I don't really have much problem getting Snipershot to work . . . BUT, our DPS is still pitiful for a "nuker" class

Ok, I'm getting in game again today to try this. Again.I'm beginning to think LAG might be a factor.....Bria, is teh suck for LAG....

I've read this request in a couple of places, but it seems a good idea:

Can we have an on-screen indicator to tell us when we have LOS to a targetted mob?

Even if it was something simple like the text being grey if there's no LOS, it would make life a lot easier since LOS is now so important.
