I am playing Crucible a lot and also Trials.
When i get revied, i always die immidiately (if not getting a right push). Or i get sniped, or i get meleed, or a Doctrine (or some other random weapon) kills me as i don't have any armor, at all. I can't even walk 1 meter and i'm dead.
But on the other side i can't revive snipe anybody. They all just run away, even if they stand in any grenade and i am shooting them with Doctrine or some other weapon. Even my rockets do no damage, when enemies are just revived. They all just walk away.
In Trials most of my kills are with my snipers (use 4 different, all with firefly and some with shortgaze), so i can say that i am a decent sniper.
But I JUST CAN"T GET A REVIVE KILL. I know what to do, also exactly when. I even checked YouTube video's, just to be sure i do everything good.
I must say that in Crucible a lot of times i get 1-shotted by Mida, Last Word, Eyesluna and a lot of times it even feels being 1-shotted by Doctrine.
And then i take my Mida (in the same match) and i need 7-8 hitmarkers. Even then a lot of times the enemies aren't dead.
I am not a noob and playing FPS for 10 years almost every day. (also played all CoD's and Halo's - see my Bungie legacy stats on my profile). I have a very good internet connection and very good gaming gear and monitor.
What could be the problem? What could i be doing wrong, not getting a revive kill?
-
It could be the light level of the gun or just the impact isn't good enough to res snipe
-
Sounds like light level.

It sounds like one of three things. Hit detection, lag, or you're just a bit early on the shot. Since I've run into a plethora of moments where I've shot people with truth or doctrine, I'm using a low impact sniper rn because I like the sights on it, but besides that it won't always pick up a hit and it'll register a few seconds later. It's the same issue with lag. If you're a bit early on the shot wait till they have both feet on the ground, that's usually when the immune frame goes away because movement is restored.

I'm in exactly the same position, though it bugs me more that auto rifles can kill me in one bullet. What's that about?

Edited by snownut800: 3/4/2016 4:07:23 PMJust a thought.... Don't know what system your on but have you played around with "look sensitivity " ? I'm no pro but saw a post on it last week. A guy was running 7 or 8 I think and realized he was over adjusting with his sniper so he backed it down a notch. I was playing 10 but have moved it down and done better but also bumped it back up a notch cuz i wasn't looking fast enough in certain games. Pve versus pvp seems like I have different preferences for both. I don't snipe a lot in pvp so I like higher sensitivity. Like I said just a thought. If you haven't ...... Try it out. If you already have then idk man. Good luck!

Video it. You said you hit them when they stand up? What comes up? Numbers? Does the bullet actually hit them?

Watch this ;) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VUWKMRH_jxQ

I can't even right now..
-
Are you using a high impact sniper?
-
Maybe it's your connection? Are you hard wired? Are multiple devices connected to your router?
-
You say you know exactly what to do and that it's definitely not you making the faults, but I don't buy it. Seems like your timing is just off
-
Sounds like you eat poop at crushnibul lad
-
It'd timing, imo something you learn over time. I'll be glad to help you tomorrow if you want to practice revive sniping

[quote] I must say that in Crucible a lot of times i get 1-shotted by Mida, Last Word, Eyesluna[/quote] Nope

Which snipers are you using? There's only 4 Y2 snipers that have high enough impact to revive snipe, and only 3 of them are useable by any class. 1 thousand yard stare - most popular Eirene RR4 - Omolon weaponsmith sniper Black Spindle - Exotic Sniper Stillpiercer - Hunter Exclusive
-
It's just timing. You have to time it just right or they will still be immune. Most likely you are shooting too early.

1st off revive sniping needs to be in the game, but I won't get into that now. If you get revived and get killed of it by a primary/doctrine you did something wrong because you have a overshield, so even if they Meele first you will win
