Loopoo posted:Valk needs a nerf making her unable to throw cameras outside. Make them show "weak signal" or something like Yokai's drone does and make it so they give a very grainy and low quality picture. Cause honestly, even playing as IQ, it's next to impossible to find the loving Valk cams outside. It's absolute garbage imo, and when I use the tactic myself, it just feels so cheap and unfair. The gently caress? Use your eyeballs there chief, just look for windows with the panes already knocked out on round start and figure out where the toss went accordingly. About the only time you can't readily find a tossed camera is when they're in a tree (on House especially)

Capitão does not have a good gadget. It can be replaced by shooting people with your gun in 95% of cases.

It's hard to spot if you're not looking for it but if you know it'll be there it doesn't take too long to find. I don't think Loopoo's that experienced though, and I can understand them being annoying as hell for newbies. I remember how mad I used to get about C4 when I started, I couldn't believe people when they said you can listen for the velcro tear. Whereas now it's just second nature. This stuff is all just part of the learning curve, and things that frustrate you to no end on the lower levels become a nonissue eventually.

The only thing I've bought besides the base game is the sweet emerald skin, but I'm doing my bit to support the game financially by dunking on people until they stop wanting to play, thus saving ubi money on server costs.

Hey Hard, thought you might like this post I found (don't ask me where  )quote:I've never bought any game ever in my life, except this game, it's really great. And of course worth paying for it. I HIGHLY recommend buying it if you like it, it's a great FPS with amazing tactical elements to it. Can be a lot of fun and also can be taken very seriously.

I present for evidence that controller aiming is best aiming https://1drv.ms/v/s!AtMYzqyMe4b6gUbAwt1AyeA2w8fk -a Fuze taking down Tachanka on his turret (the turning radius and the fact that the MG has a poo poo ton of kick saved him more than the shield i think) https://1drv.ms/v/s!AtMYzqyMe4b6gUe-qjf0BMpaPz6F -One of myself strangely using the Bearing as the great weapon it actually is! I ended up getting the Ace this round as a bonus

Tachanka's buff is such a hilarious 'gently caress you' to previous Tachanka users because the gun accuracy went down a huge amount with the shield on. If it remained the same you might actually see people using Tachanka as something other than a joke/spawn kill from upstairs windows.

An undocumented drop in tick rate might be the off rate we felt.

Can someone explain this peeker's advantage thing? From my understanding, the way modern network code works in a situation with 2 players with 100 ping is this: Peeker moves round corner and shoots defender. These packets are sent to the server and processed. The information is sent to the defender's client, which is played on the defender's screen. The defender shoots back, this packet is sent to the server. The server rolls back 100ms to incorporate this new information and both players end up dead, assuming both players shot before they should be dead. Is this not how it works in this game?

cinci zoo sniper posted:Defender doesn't know that they have to shoot, because they are waiting for (attacker_ping+defender_ping)/2 ms (roughly) to receive the information from the server that will allow them to extrapolate the attackers position. By then, a swiftly running and prefiring attacker already kills the defender, from server's point of view, and the defender still hasn't fired. Yeah but if the defender had good enough reflexes to shoot in that time he would still kill him back. I don't know why people complain about this. Would they rather go back to the Quake system of your character inputs not registering until they can be simulated on the server and sent back to you?

It's not like we don't have droves of people complaining about dropshotting right now or something.That, and edge case scenarios when you physically can't react in time asides, I feel the gist of complaint for people persistently vocal about peeker's advantage is either repeated "bullshit" deaths, or the gameplay flow promoted by peeking strats. A lot of people come into Siege expecting slow tacticool turtling, whereas in reality its 3-speed operators running and gunning on most ranks. Don't think anyone is thinking about solutions other than more servers and tighter ping restrictions on matchmaking.

A lot of people come into Siege expecting slow tacticool turtling, whereas in reality its 3-speed operators running and gunning on most ranks. Some people are undoubtedly just salty, but there is very much the issue of, particularly at higher level play, that there are people who are aware of how peeker's advantage works and actively seek to use/abuse it. There's nothing to be done about it, really, it's just the reality of playing videogames on the internet. Personally I'd rather that something was done to eliminate the huge disconnect between a player's perspective versus where they appear to be to other players and where they appear to be shooting. The stuff that got discussed a while back about shots appearing to hit objects/terrain screwing with the perception of where someone is getting shot from is a minor part of that, but I'm mostly concerned about those wacky situations where someone appears to be stupidly exposed when it's either hard literally impossible to see the person that has a clear shot on them.
