God it is so infuriating when (and this is with a squad of that's all partied up mind you) your team has two guys left and one guy is trying to rambo the objective and the other is dicking around on the roof. "Call of coot get down there Pooppoo needs you" "Why?" "Because he needs help" "Nah I'm gonna breach this window" "What? Why? There's nobody even in that building!" *Pooppoo has died *30 seconds of watching coot try to get to the hostage before the round ends. He is unsuccessful.

From the AMA a second ago:quote:SERVER TICK RATE We are currently investigating having a higher tick rate, which would improve positioning and shooting replication. The current servers run at a tick rate of 64, but the position of players is updated 30 times per second. We have plans to address this very soon and are currently running tests in which we have a position update rate of 60. If the results are satisfying, we will be deploying this in a future update as soon as possible. That sounds pretty good. I hope they follow through with that. Also they mentioned that an update should be coming out mid-december, so next week or the week after?

Also:quote:CONNECTION TO WRONG DATA CENTER Another issue we will be working on is that right now, some players connect to the wrong data centers. If you are not connected to the nearest data center, your gameplay experience will likely not be ideal. We believe that the best solution for this will be to allow the players to select their data centers and that is what we will be working on.

How do you make a tacticool game and not offer tactical operators the option to add tactical flashlights to their tactical guns? This is a more important issue than netcode, tick rates or general stability.

I've only TKed two guys: One was a dude who was ignoring the whole team yelling at him to bring the defuser to the bomb site for like 3 minutes, and the other was this one loudmouth who kept calling people faggots for picking the wrong combination of operators for TH and not following his perfect strat.

Moartoast posted:Bot mode customization is unfortunately a very rare thing nowadays. In fact, barring corner cases of ambitious indie games, the last game I remember letting you do more than set the number/difficulty of bots is Timesplitters: Future Perfect, and that was what, a decade ago? I'd love to see an expansion of TH as well - I'm one of those weird people that prefers co-op/SP to PvP stuff. Actually what I'd love to see is for them to take the system they built in R6: Siege and add a whole mode reminiscent of the original R6 games with preplanning and multiple squads and so on, but that won't happen so my dream of a SWAT 4/R6 crossover sequel will remain a dream. Unrelated to the above: Is it just me or are shotguns absolutely worthless in this game? The spread pattern is so wide that I'm lucky to hit anything at all even at fairly close range. Was there some point that they were too good during beta and this is a post-nerf version that hasn't been balanced out, or did someone legitimately decide that making them effectively melee weapons was the right thing to do?

Shotguns are pretty fantastic for making and using murder holes, and killing shields. If you have a shotgun you want to get into the habit of putting holes in a lot of walls.

Shotguns do a ton of damage per pellet, and are generally one to two shot kills at up to 10 meters. Combined with the fact that they're very much usable while hipfiring, you can use them to quickly peek out and instantly kill people in CQC. Also, any headshot, including a single pellet to the head, is a guaranteed kill. That's all in MP, though. In T-Hunt they're just not very good because the AI gradually loses accuracy the further away from you they are — making it optimal to stay as far away as possible — and if you want instant kills, Glaz is a better option anyway. SlayVus posted:Is it just me or is enemy AI not that good at shooting through small holes in barricades when you're rappelling upside down? They're not. That's one of the ways to cheese T-Hunt (especially Classic) on Lone Wolf Realistic. Liberatore fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Dec 8, 2015 |

Blood color is unintentional and will be fixed in mid december update Tickrate is set at 64, but for some reason player movement is only refreshed 30 times a second, they are looking into this There are no current plans for uniforms for separate teams They are working on allowing players to select their own data center The University map will be available for PVP and PVE, along with the other 4 maps that will come out in the next year They do not have plans for further single player situations They are working on the open broadcasting mic issue Character Chat limit will be upped to 128 They are likely not to do random camera placement to reduce randomness in a FPS game. (Not sure how this doesn't apply to random spawn locations in casual matches)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/3vujdk/here_is_some_data_about_armor_and_other_things/ Supposedly no difference between armor 2 and armor 3, but armor 4 from rook is better. Shields are much more exposed when stationary than you'd expect. Twitch drone damage is only a maximum of 10 to the lightest armor. Damage numbers suggest we do not want to silence our pistols. Laser beams are only visible very close. Unlikely to give you away. Dot might but it's small. Carecat fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Dec 8, 2015 |

Hey R6 dev, can you fix the loving party system??? I have a group of 5 that plays in random combinations from 2 to 5 ppl. Playing with 2 or 3 ppl is usually fine, but when we try to go with 4 or 5 we run into unending issues. It will match make us into 3 separate matches. It will send 3 of us to match making and 1 person sits on the main screen not loading at all. Its very frustrating to try and get a group together because if we go back to the main menu one time it has the potential to break everything for like 15 minutes. We are essentially 'locked in' to playing if we ever get a match that works.

Yea we do this too, but its loving inconvenient and we hates it. Especially if something happens where we have to back out like immediately from matchmaking. Seems the more people we have in the party the bigger the likelihood of it loving up. Shits dumb. This game is mega fun when I can get the matchmaking going, especially with friends.

I just realised that Mute jammers will prevent Fuze from firing his grenade breaching device if it's been attached to a surface in range of a jammer. I suppose this will also work for other devices that are placed and then triggered remotely, like breaching charges. Edit: Does anyone know if you're meant to be able to safely jump your scouting drones over Mute jammers?

You shouldn't really be using lasers at all, even with a shield. The pistol accuracy nerf was big enough that it completely negates that strategy, laser or otherwise. You just need to line your shots up while still shielding and use the almost instant ADS to your advantage to get a quick headshot, it's even easier if you have Blitz.

Thermite/Thatcher and Castle/Mute are probably in the same field. They're not necessary, but they're operators that are valuable on every map in every mode, and nobody will ever complain that you're bringing them. So, what are everyone's most played atk/def operators so far statistically?    Edit: Oh, and by the way, found something neat out about Mute's jammers: they also prevent Blitz from using his flash.

Gunder posted:Thermite seems like an absolute must have on all Attack teams. Without him your options are too limited. Which Defenders do you guys think are equally important? Castle? Mute? Rook? Rook is definitely a "nice to have" and he's certainly easy to play (plop down you armour as soon as you start. You are now done thinking about your special ability). Castle can also be helpful but it depends a lot on where your objectives are - sometimes there's just too many entry points for your 3 bulletproof barricades to really make a difference. I haven't played Mute yet, but I have played in matches against him where the jamming signals actually did a fairly good job at cutting off our breaching options since a lot of the points we wanted to blast in were covered by the jammers. Fuze can also be really amazing if the defenders have all decided to camp up near each other. If he doesn't score any kills at the very least he'll flush them out of a room in a panic without exposing himself to any danger at all. It seems like there aren't really any "Must have" operators on either side, although there are a couple that are borderline useless, in multiplayer at least. IQ's special can locate bombs if you didn't manage to find them with drones and that's about all it's good for. Twitch is also not super useful, just because using her special ability means not being able to actually run around and shoot people. Kapkan doesn't SEEM to be very useful just because of how visible his traps are - although I guess the point is more to be a "no, you aren't coming in this way" thing rather than actually scoring kills with them.

They are also avaliable in the operators menu, under statistics. The same area you upgrade the guns in. My go-to soldiers have been thatcher/thermite and Jager/Bandit. I have been trying to use Blitz more, though; I am just awful at using the shield effectively. Hard to line up headshots with the ADS on a controller still

Huh, all the questions i had come here to ask just now got answered either in the reddit link or in the thread, how about that  Mute's jammers also block Thermite's charges from going off as well if it's close enough to the wall i guess? He's ending being way better than i first imagined.

Yeah, they should block anything in that radius.

I know it has a relatively short range, I'm talking specifically about when you're very clearly in range and they play the animation as if blinded. I don't know if it's a graphics settings thing or a latency thing or something, but it usually happens multiple times with the same person while working fine on other people. I was in a game either yesterday or Saturday and while I was getting easy blind headshots and melees on multiple people per attacking round, one guy got me on all 3 attacking rounds while he should have been blind. It wasn't a situation of "oh I thought he was blind and he wasn't", he was playing the animation, on the death animation he was staring right at the shield when it went off and he just kept aiming perfectly despite it, tracking me just fine, and he was the only one it happened with... multiple attacking rounds in a row.

Mine most played operators so far are Ash and Castle, but I have played just a few hours as of yet and I have unlocked just 5 operators total, since I can't find time to do the situations the way I want to do them, and since I prioritise getting all the guns the way I want over unlocking the operators.

I wish Castle's armored barricades required thermite to breach, but still they are an OK solution for angles that you are more worried about being shot through than people actually breaching through. I'm still trying to figure out how to best use his deployable bulletproof shield though. It seems like using those defensively as a thing to peak out from behind never really works out, and just alerts the enemy that you will be around there instead of being in some place they don't expect. A different way I've been experimenting with is putting it more forward in a path of attack where enemies would come from, where they have no choice but to vault over it if they don't have an Ash to destroy it. The bad part about this is it gives them bulletproof cover and in Siege you can still stay sighted and aiming when vaulting over things so it's not THAT big a hindrance.
