Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are. You are destiny.


I can basically crank everything to ultra and end up with 80+ average fps so it's all about image clarity and tryhard-ism.



This plus textures on very high seems to strike the balance. The other AA modes are too foggy and blurry, so MSAA seems like the best compromise.

In order to get TAA to not look like dogshit you have to go into the ini and change TAASharpenFactor to 0.500000.

There used to be Temporal Filtering setting under anti-aliasing that increased your performance while not affecting clarity, so developers removed it in the last update because no one of them plays the game.

instead of dissecting a reddit thesis on ping abuse and cyber ballistic angles im gonna just accept the fact that a person peeking someone else in a fixed position has an inherent advantage because they can use their intuition to prefire while the defender has to be on guard and ready.

there isn't really anything you can do about it anyway and i feel like it isn't going to be why you're winning or losing unless you're playing at such an amazingly high tier that your opponent might actually be skilled enough to left click slightly faster than you

discord goons play every night and form groups with players from all around the world so you will almost always see someone with high ping with each of us having experienced high ping at some point or the other

it has never felt totally game breaking even though there are situations where it seems like lag had created a sort of advantage but it isn't something so regular that you can blame repeatedly losing matches on it.

the entire backbone of siege gameplay is about adapting to constantly changing variables where players have vastly differing abilities so lol




edit: also unrelated but @Ela's supposed mine reduction - i've noticed that i almost always have 1 left after setting up the defense anyway so it is hardly a nerf. and really i just save that last one for shields and improvising ambushes when roaming which isnt gonna change unless they reduce ela's carrying capacity to 1 or 2 mines

I think spawn peeking is still a far greater issue than peekers advantage. Having one person be able to run out and nearly kill an entire team by themselves within the first few seconds just shouldn't be happening. And now it's even worse since they took away the bloody effect when defenders go outside.

Much like how you can't throw items outside of the map until the round starts I think that inside the first 10-15 seconds of the round starting it should completely blur a defenders view if they go outside.



I'm not gonna say defenders shouldn't be able to go outside because there are very real reasons you'd want to go outside and routes that are almost required to take if you are going to rotate into a more advantageous spot. It's not even a lovely risk reward mechanic, it's just lovely.

I don't mind the skin, I just find this particular chibi really uncanny. The only skin I outright protest is legendary Rook.

I actually got to see an in-person test with Frost last night. One person was using the Blood Orchid skin and one was using the default arctic one and boy, what a difference it makes. After seeing it use side-by-side (well round by round) it makes such a big difference with spotting her that I will never go back to the white outfit (not that I planned on it but hey).

They need to let us swap uniforms when picking ops so I can tactically switch back to white when the prodigal Yacht returns

Is that the fishbowl head one? I think half of the legendary skins are a bit ehhh, but I can't run the game on high settings with my aging potato pc so thats more to blame than Ubi.

Kapkan looks wicked at least.

Nope. Ubi doesn't do poo poo. We reported many times with screenshots and all and keep seeing the same racist assholes week after week.

On EAU nearly every match in ranked has at least 1 megaracist, and up to an entire team of "Heheheh is this bots???? EZ EZ EZ EZ WIN" even if it is overtime 4-5. It's usually the guy lowest on the scoreboard that is the loudest too which is funny.

Casual is awful I'm too scared to go in there
