Starting to get to grips with being aggressive in this game and it started clicking. Loving playing Jackal as it's teaching me to really go for the throat so I'm gonna add him to my usual attackers (Twitch, Ying) and go from there.

Odd one, but what's a good key to have found for Push to Talk? I had Alt originally but that's walking pace, F was my second choice then I remembered that was gadget and stopping bleeding out, my team got to listen to me enjoy a cuppa while dying on plane.

So is this game still a horrible, buggy, garbage filled, excrement spewing delight that I couldn't stoo playing for months when I first got it? *checks pages of posts* Excellent!

Seriously though I haven't played in several months and with games like this, I'm always afraid to jump back in. What have I missed?

First ranked match

Dude keeps telling everybody what to do even though he's not particularly good

"Hey dude can you please stop back seat gaming? I can't focus"

"Mute me if that's how you feel"

Awesome.

A lot. Things seem smoother and more balanced now, although servers are acting finnicky.

I think it's a bit stupid that the alpha packs only roll on a winning game, there is no incentive to stick around in a losing game to at least see if you get a loot pack or maybe increase your chances of getting one next game.

If you don't stick around you get 0 renown and no addition to your roll bonus, it's fine. If they gave you rolls for losing that would lead to rampant afking.

I had the craziest rubber banding last night, and it hit all of the players. You would run through a door with your op and then transport 2 seconds into the past and the room you just came out of. This was happening to every player on my team intermittently, across multiple games.

Hit reg has felt weird in these matches. Sometimes it feels like playing against someone with a really high ping but you check it and it's like 60. Not a terrible ping.

And also on more than a couple of occasions I walked into a wall and pressed myself up against it for an angle and my guy would bounce off of it over and over. Go to wall, hold W to get close, I start bouncing back and forth like the wall is a trampoline.

I would have expected a hot fix by now but whatevs. And seeing all of the gun skins have their Store photo incredibly dark with contrast turned up and then seeing them in game as like watered down cardboard versions is sad. Striking Emerald Green skin looks like boiled green-poo poo soup in game. So is buying a black uniform for your op and it's still the default uni in first person. Disappointing

Also they should just copy Overwatch wholesale for when I get a new item from an AP, give the op and the item a tasteful highlight because why not

Please stop including the red crow/dust line whatever head gears in the drop list, it's just insult to injury then since they're already cheap and awful looking.

This doesn't seem to be a good deterrent. Every game I played last night had at least one person rage quit as soon as the first round was lost.

My favorite thing is entering a match, finally getting a fifth Discord player, winning a round, abandoning our pubbie to the tune of calling the opposing team hackers.

Started playing again thanks to the new operators, managed to kill someone as Lesion by taunting them into chasing me through all of my caltrop mines until they died from the poison. I'm also thankful for all the bad players returning, allowing me to do dumb poo poo like getting an ace as a roaming Rook while being tracked by Jackal.

The solution is probably Overwatch's. If you leave a large percentage of games you stop getting renown and packs for a while. Of course this could have the opposite effect, if people think they have nothing to lose they might troll more. Ubisoft doesn't seem willing to actively moderate players like Blizzard so i don't know what the solution is.

This is in casual. Ranked is too stressful for me with the reduced timer. And people get mad when you try to revolver gimmick or play Cav.

Psst, if you STILL have someone who doesn't play Siege on your friend list (crazy i know), the game is on sale on Humble Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-siege
The price varies if you have the Monthly Sub or you don't, but for me with the additional 10% it's 21,59 euros.
Valid 3 days from this post.

I too long for a "Pulse looking exactly like his character portrait" skin, but I'd wear that. In my mind I immideatly put him on the Hereford with that bandan, so maybe you're onto it.

Really? If you're on PC jump in discord and do whatever random stuff you want (as long as you can aim and don't slow play until the last 5 seconds every game)

It kills me how different some of the character models are from their concept art. Pulse's concept looks SO much better, wtf.
