I'm going to put together a video on this just for haha's because I have dozens of clips of this, but I for one am really hoping that Uprising brings an end to these shenanigans.
You know what I'm talking about. Snipers perched up on mountains, and when you shoot them in the head, their shields flare bright blue....aaaaaaaaaannnnnddddddddddd......no damage. So, snipers, enjoy your freebies while you can, and CCP, please don't overlook this >_<
I know this happens with most weapons to some degree, but it's most obvious in this situation. |

As soon as "Their shields flare bright blue" they're usually as good as dead, because you know where they are, and provided you take the effort to move into a position where you can reliably hit them they won't stand a chance against a well fit and played heavy or assault suit.
No, they become immune to damage. Like, shoot them 4, 5, 6 times in the head, no damage. I'll get the video together soon lol.
Sometimes you can hustle halfway across the map to maybe get an angle where the terrain doesn't glitch them into God mode, but usually that doesn't work so well, especially since most of those guys are using officer or prototype snipers, and usually have a drop uplink up there.
I have clips though where they're completely in the open, nothing blocking them, same business. |

A lot of the time, when you think that sniper keeps missing you its the same bug you're complaining about saving your life... *shrugs*
I've never had that issue, then again, I don't camp on top of mountains  |

You don't have to tell me man, been dealing with that since June '12 lol >_< I'm praying it gets fixed too because I'm specializing as a shotgun scout in Uprising, 100% |

You have to move, usually to higher ground, in order to get a shot that doesn't intersect the ground on the way to the target.
Like I said, I'll try and toss together that video today, lots of hunting for those specific clips. I have plenty of clips where their whole upper half is exposed, sometimes they're entirely exposed: same business.
And how exactly does one move to higher ground when they're on top of a mountain?

Next time this happens, I'll give it a shot and let you know if I have any luck. |
