Just fucking chamber lmao

That forces a fairly boring style of gameplay, necessitating constant aggression over raw reading skill.

Nothing wrong with constant aggression, that is not whats wrong with it. We already have too much wait for the other guy to attack so you can parry -riposte, and go back and fourth that way ""combat""

Too much of that? That's what's fun, trying to bypass your opponent's defenses with your superior offense. Mechanics that just encourage both players to be aggressive, that's barbaric, lacks civility and elegance. Fine for frontline, terrible for duels.

Same with Rainbow Six: Siege - after introducing competitive matchmaking and improving it constantly the game received a huge boost in players even though it was almost dead.

Is that the agreed-upon concensus of why Rainbow Six Siege increased in popularity, all down to ranked matchmaking?

I want to know who is the best, in direct quantification. We need a ranked duel ladder for this. Tournaments too, but I'm not sure there will be interest in esport dueling. In which case only ranked will cater to my goals.

Does using demorec incur a performance penalty?

Official server rules apply to official servers, not to community servers. Community servers can moderate however they want to.

If words on a game chat bother you much, you can turn the chat off. Also, an optional chat filter will be added soontm.

I wouldn't let edgy children stop me from having fun with this game if I were you. Of course, it is different if people are griefing on duel servers etc. In that case I recommend you keep looking for better servers.

Im not talking about the racism in chat, coulden't care less about that, it's the community defending it in spaces like steam. "it's just words", not its not. There is no thing as freedom of speech on the internet.

There is freedom in whatever the people who own the servers allow.

Never had issues with shield users, even before the kick-buff. If you're using a shield, you're limited to short-range weapons, unless you're using a spear. In which case, chamber > Morph kick worked just fine. Or just maneuver around the shield user / drain his stamina. In terms of duels it wasn't an issue at all, and in frontline it slowed the flow of combat, but that's the entire point of a shield. To be the frontline tank pushing forward for his team.

Like in Chiv (I was The Radiant back in those days), my main focus is on duels. I love Frontline, skirmish and BR modes too, but more "for fun". I completely understand the devs have a ton of concerns to address, though they've been doing well on that line. My question is if there's any sort of time horizon on when we can expect the ranked duel ladder? Obviously nothing concrete, but I'm curious if it's weeks, months or year+, since no information of real note has been given on that.

For now I will continue to duel on private servers, which is very useful to hone my understanding of timings and animations, but I can't wait to compete with real stakes.

Also, small suggestion, when it is implemented, each league (bronze to grandmaster or whatever they're labelled) should have an original icon reward that appears next to your name when in ordinary gamemodes (could be an optional toggle to display). Even better would be cosmetic unlocks per league placement, either at the finish of the season or for reaching a new league peak. (Though clearly this would require a lot more resources to make).

This just started happening for me today! As soon as I join any server, I start to get the icon of packet loss flashing every few seconds. Extremely annoying. Gameplay feels fine though, but the notification is frustrating. Can it be disabled?

Christian, you're probably filtering by (isn't full).

Hey Stouty.

I can't fathom being so angry over a game. If you're actually having some unique problem that can't be fixed by pressing refresh on the server browser, and isn't some weird issue with port routing on your end, then sure I understand being frustrated. But the pure loathing hatred you're spewing? My brain literally can't comprehend the pathways necessary to feel those emotions over this.

It's the opposite for me, the thrill is in overcoming disadvantages, playing on the blue team is far more exciting. Though I do hope that map is balanced more (mostly in the second blue spawn too far from the camp).

Feints are fairly easy to read, unless from facehug range with fast weapons. My real issue is dealing with chamber morphs. For the life of me I don't think my brain is fast enough to read those. Maybe after 10,000 hours.

Trust me it's $30 well spent.

Not more money, any money. Can't work on a game if you're dead.

Because they had no money, and early access would have significantly reduced total sales volume. Sure the score for now is reduced, but Steam has a good system whereby the last 30 day's rating are shown later on. So future sales, when these issues are fixed, will reflect the true score of the game.

The issue was funding, I believe. Don't want to speak for the devs, maybe there's a netcode issue, but I know they said they were out of funds and that's why they launched at the end of the month. They're getting paid today, so they'll have a huge influx of cash to handle this. Shouldn't be long to have it resolved, then start work on a roadmap for the future. The potential is absurd.

That it has huge twitch presence is actually one of the better signs that it may retain players. That's the key. And unlike Apex Legends, this is organic.
