blitz might be the weakest op right now but i guess that's part of the charm because he's fun as heck and has the best shield skin

True as hell

Blitz is a feast or famine kind of guy. Either you rush and blind/kill a bunch of guys or you get instantly killed.

I had an ace as blitz the other day but my shadowplay wasn't on for some reason.

Nope not at all, if i remember correctly, aside from Macy, Serenity was the only good player. A showcase with pros would've probably had a different outcome.
The only thing that was required obviously was for him to pick the new ops and make it interesting by communicating a lot but that's how he plays all the time. The plays were genuine.

e: Canadian and Kixstar might have been in there and they are both incredible players but either way nothing was scripted.

I agree btw that this kinda thing is super frustrating, but the sad thing is it's also super hard to fix. While I suspect they can make some changes (given resources/time), fundamentally the state of your game and your opponent's game is going to be out of sync by ~100�50ms. So if their knifestrike happened at a given spot/angle and there's data fromy our side saying 'no it was blocked' then they just see the reverse of the current problem - something they swung at that wasn't blocked now is blocked. Network latency is such a brutal thing in some gametypes, especially fighting games.

That said, I do hate how (Somehow no guns are subsonic?!) you never hear the bullets that shoot/kill you, until the replay.

Except Siege's network issues have gotten progressively worse from launch to now. It's really kind of astonishing because the game played like rear end in the early semi-public tests, then ran incredibly well at launch, and since then has just gotten worse and worse with reg, animation sync and various bugs that in a game like Siege make certain things basically impossible. If taking a working game and making it garbage has ever been done before so thoroughly, I'd be very surprised.

Truth.

For a hot minute right around the time Black Ice dropped there was insane amount of netcode bugs; the aforementioned pawn rotation bug where the direction players were looking wasn't updated correctly was the most prominent.

Personally Dust Line was probably the time where the netcode was the best.

People probably think this because Blackbeard was at his strongest so it didn't matter

Also, there's apparently a new bug where you shoot two boards off the very bottom of the window so that there's a tiny sliver of light coming through. This apparently counts as broken enough for you to vault through instantly even though no one could ever identify it as being touched from the outside. Hard fix.

Edit: The team has determined the source of the error. We are excited to announce that your progress since Tuesday has been saved. We are in the process of manually updating everyone's progress now. This is a lengthy process, and should be completed within the next 12 hours. After your progress has been updated, your Challenges will continue to update in real time.

As previously noted, we are aware that the Weekly Challenges are not properly tracking your progress. We do not have an ETA for a resolution at this time. In light of this, we have made the decision to remove all Weekly Challenges this week.
The Commonwealth Day Challenge, as well as a new set of Weekly Challenges, will make a return at another date in the near future. In addition to returning the Commonwealth Day Challenge to the list of available challenges in the future, we will be doubling the Renown rewards for all challenges that week. In the event that we are not able to double the Renown of the Commonwealth Day Challenge itself, we will include an additional Challenge that will provide the appropriate amount of Renown.
Thank you for your patience.

e: VV doubt it, challenges were hosed last week too.

You've been able to punch off the boards below windows to make the barricade vaultable since, I think, forever.

Hard, where is Ubi's bottleneck? Is it a capacity issue or an application issue that makes your online poo poo grind to a halt every time you launch a game? If it's capacity why don't you offload that poo poo to a third party that can handle the load like a sane company?

It's an Ubisoft issue, where they ignore common sense and how rest of the world has solved similar problems.

idk if this is an actual thing but i've had really good luck when turning 90 degress while reloading when using shields. i think the shield even protects you if you lay prone or put it on your back like a turtle

also cav is probably the worst person to have a honky tonk pistol shootout with :ocelot:

Is your FOV 60 or something?

edit: also the thing Blitz players forget is their entire gadget; too often I see them die with 3 or 4 charges left.

Yeah, if that's not the default then i must have changed it when i was playing while hosed up. FOV doesn't seem to matter much in this game though.

You merely adopted the Blitz; I was born into him, molded by him: https://streamable.com/g7yzg

Also the shield will protect you no matter what (except when Ubisoft decides it doesn't exist). Wherever it is, it blocks bullets. The game is very good about that, and turning when you reload moves it back in front of you so it's definitely a thing.

i think if blitz is seriously going to get buffed then it should be something as minimal as giving him a few pistols to choose from that are unique to him so people can write essays on which is the most efficient even though they are basically all balanced around damage to magazine size.

IQ is one of my most played operators. And when they gave her a frag grenade I think it was a pretty legit tweak without going overboard.
