You can compete without being a raging fuckface though. I'm pretty high up in OW but you'll never hear me get angry because its a fun game and I know i'm not going pro anyway.

imo OW players are on average way more saltier and toxic than in R6.

poo poo used to be free back in my day. Granted it was client side but gently caress. I'm just mad I wasn't born ten years later. I played CS from 2000 till last year where I just couldn't keep up with today's kids anymore. I would have loved all this poo poo back then.

I'm only 20 odd points away from a rank up, lose one game 5-4 with 4 people where I've got 15 kills including an ace. I lose 123 points. I thought ranked had been adjusted since launch.

That depends on his certainty. He didn't say how much he gains each win, only that he was 20 points away from the next rank. If he loses 120 points for that defeat, he probably gains a somewhat similar share for a victory. As MMR certainty increases through completing more ranked matches, that should go down to a less volatile level.

I don't remember exactly but we had been on a winning streak, maybe 7 wins and the last one netted 52 or 53 points.

Never play ranked in any team based game without a team, though. That's a recipe for being miserable, unless you are aiming for lowest rank.

I solo queued my way to global in csgo and it was a lot of fun, I highly recommend it.

How do I stop being loving garbage at this garbage game?

I have a great time with it, but I'd rather not be the first guy getting murdered every round. I wear my headset and call out enemy positions, I don't mark with the cameras, I try to put my gadgets in non-obvious spots, all that poo poo.

Possibly related, is there something I'm doing wrong when it comes to Kapkan traps? It seems like whenever I try to deploy one on a window, I get the prompt in brief flashes. I have to sort of wiggle around the thing I want to trap and hope that I can get the prompt to stick around, and odds are by the time I've got the trap placed, the set-up time is over.

It's the same as CS. Don't camp in obvious spots on defense. Good players will check all the usual spots and with peeking advantage they'll probably get you. For offense, check all the usual spots and drone everywhere. Don't keep peeking from the same window. Don't stay in one spot.

Alternatively, bait your teammates.

A 1070 should have no trouble with everything maxed, and occasionally games will crash, don't worry about it unless it becomes a repeating thing. If you got the little prompt to send a crash report, that's pretty much all you can or should do about it.

I have a 1070 which struggles at 1440p at certain times on certain maps...

Hard posted:

Not sure if cheaping out is the right choice of words, In limited environment like MP or consoles, coding realistic water ( reflection, physics, new set of animations if you can go swim etc) can be super costly. Sometimes devs prefer investing that memory somewhere else.

Not talking about whether this particular pool will have water or not it was just a FYI about the :pcgaming: Marvellous World Of Game Design :pcgaming: and why so many ''none watery'' games lacks it or make it inaccessible.

So can we disable the secret ocean on favela? because that map still runs like doodoo.

Also new map looks fantastic, can't wait. You have to add swim trunks and sandal cosmetics for all operators now

Been playing with pubbies almost exclusively since the beginning and it's not as bad as some make it out to be. Ranked mode with randoms is fine too, you will get the occasional troll but it's really not as bad as CSGO for instance where people start raging the second they lose a round.

I want a dude with night vision that cuts the power/lights out everywhere. It's not very creative but it would be fun. Have the operator run to a few specific locations on the map to tap into the power grid, plant a device and remotely shut off power.

Jackal is loving stupid. I await the patch that makes all female operators leave no footsteps, cause playing a roaming Valkyrie for example is now a nightmare.
I mean I understand that he is there to counter roamers in the pro-level, but in pub games, even with a full team he's a "free win" button most of the time. Mira on the other hand is a "free lose" button with the way pubbies pop those windows like there's no tomorrow, opening you to crossfire.

Argh, is there any ETA on the UPlay servers coming back up again? I tried checking the Ubisoft news pages for Aus and UK, however they all give runtime errors, so I'm assuming all things Siege are down. Great timing, as always; peak Aus gaming-time on a Friday night...

EDIT1: Ah, it's finally back up again! Thanks for reacting to my post so quickly, before even writing a reply, Hard! :v:

EDIT2: Wait, nevermind - easy come, easy go. I can connect to UPlay and get into the game now, but I can't connect to Siege's servers. Ubi! :arghfist::saddowns:
(Jesus, must I go through all five stages of grief, before being allowed to play Siege tonight? :v:)

EDIT3: It's back! Now, time to get some rounds in, before it dies again! And for gently caress's sake, tell the boys in the server room to properly tuck the ethernet cables in! No more tripping over them and causing them to disconnect, please! :D

EDIT4: Down again, before even finishing matchmaking... :smithicide:
Urgh, I think I've finally reached the 'acceptance' stage of grief. Tomorrow it is, then.

Sorry buddy.

But this makes me glad I stopped playing for the night. I was 8/10 into my placement matches and starting to get frustrated with some of the garbage idiots I got teamed with. gently caress the guys who start barking orders when they're dead, rear end in a top hat you want me to listen to you? Give me useful information to act on instead constantly talking so I can't even hear the game sound.

I got lucky last night and was the fifth wheel to a group of try hard Brazilians. I'm usually on the receiving end of their shenanigans so it was pretty nice getting carried in ranked.

The ping advantage is really nice too. 3 speed attackers who peek them (when they're sitting still) still lose the firefight.
