Fix your game, Hard. Also that's a pretty good OP. Maybe some suggestions for first operators to try/operators to avoid until you git gud? i.e. Sledge makes a great starter attacker, Rook is an easy defender to play, Castle is usually a bad idea until you really know the maps, same idea for Thermite.

I'm gonna buy like three elite skins, and it doesn't matter whether this game is somewhat broken or not broken at all. Pls. make a Buck skin. real edit: this game owns bones.

Yeah i was thinking of adding a difficulty rating for each ops with why and how. Will do it at some point. In the meantime the Season03 Operators beginner chart i posted is pretty useful albeit not very user friendly.

I love this game for its gameplay. I loved Quake 3 and TF2 ages ago, but could never get into Counter Strike or Overwatch for the pacing. What bothered me about dieing instantly in TF2, CS, and Overwatch still exists in Siege, but the methodical pacing of every match, smart positioning, and team communication really do it for me in a way that no other online shooter has. I normally can't tand brown/grey military murder sims but this game is just my jam. Where I find Siege lacking is in the unlocks and customization. Each character has maybe two custom skins. Most of the dressing up is to your gun sticking out of the corner of the screen. I've been spoiled by dressing up my barbie in TF2, and by a million things to unlock at a slow trickle in Overwatch. Every visual customization in Siege is either unnoticeable like an alternate helmet, or garish and gaudy like an emerald gun or decorative jawbone. The costs are prohibitively high too in stark contrast with TF2/Overwatch. I did see a new victory pose the other day, so maybe Ubi is going in that direction.

So I bought the season 2 pass and got 600 renown and was all good and happy. But then someone told me that I should have gotten 1200 for s2 pass since I own s1 pass. Now I'm still good and happy, but hoping I qualify for another 600 renown windfall. Any truth to this?

Hard: One of our guys keeps going on about how the season end charm reward is based on the highest rank you achieved and not the rank you end the season at. Is this true?

Well this was definitely not the case in Seasons 1 and 2 as it was the source of endless hilarity when said person lost their plat a few days before the season closed out and didn't get the reward as a result. Season 3 seems to have be the change to that if what he says is true.

I'm positive. I mean unless of course Hard comes in here and shits on me lol. But we've definitely had dudes lose plat literally days before the season concluded and only get the gold charm. It's dumb to care about in game ranks/rewards etc but I find that the season end charm is one of the only meaningful in game rewards as its something you really have to work for to earn. It's why I like the ubi challenges that you can do to earn gun charms since they're usually character challenges that reward playing the game differently. If it's now, or always was, rewarded for achieving the rank and then not maintaining that imo kinda removes some of the.. charm... of the charm. Someone could just place really well and then never play ranked again for the season. Not saying that it isn't possible to do that now but it felt like it was way harder to do something like that in S2/S3 compared to now.

# ? Dec 2, 2016 18:28 |
Yeah Hard has 100% confirmed that it's the highest rank you've achieved in the season and not what you end at.WhatDo posted:So I bought the season 2 pass and got 600 renown and was all good and happy. But then someone told me that I should have gotten 1200 for s2 pass since I own s1 pass. Contact customer support and ask them to fix it. You get 600 Rainbux with Season Pass 2 and if you already owned Season Pass one you're supposed to get an extra bonus 600 Rainbux for a total of 1200.

I'm having a fun time with this barely working 30days of ubisoft website. How the gently caress is a company supposed to host a service for millions of customers when they can't get a loving webpage that lets you download jpgs everyday to work properly. Also imagine if R6 Siege was on Origin instead of Uplay. I honestly think Origin is finally starting to edge out as my favorite platform, only beaten by Steam because of how long I and everyone I know have been using it.
