Returning Ammo While Hiding 10/08/2013 07:18 AM CDT
Here's a little problem that can be quite a nuisance for snipers, especially those who use CMAN MFIRE (in other words, just me). Returning un-fired ammo to your quiver always brings you out of hiding. I can draw any number of arrows and stay hidden, but I can't put them back. This becomes an issue when one or more of my targets die or leave after I've drawn multiple arrows, but before I fire. You can't fire normally with a bundle of arrows in hand, so it's necessary to return them to the quiver. This can't be done while hiding.

>hide
Roundtime: 3 sec.
You attempt to blend with the surroundings and feel confident that no one has noticed your doing so.
HR>take 3 arrow from my quiv
You reach for a bundle of faewood arrows and remove 3 of them.
H>cman mfire
You nock an arrow in your hunting longbow and pull it back while scanning the room for targets. Finding none, you return the arrow to your bundle.
H>put my arrows in my arrows in my quiver
You come out of hiding.
You bundle some faewood arrows together.

Rogues can put items in containers without leaving hiding.... just saying.

PS: Does that work with bundles, as in, "put my arrow in my arrows in my quiver"? Just curious.

It ought to, since stealth kneel is for the benefit of crossbow snipers, but I've never tried.
