While I'm not fond of the gamble wall in front of the customisation systems in Valve games, I do think that they are cool, given the existence of player market where the skins can be traded. As for the skins themselves - in my opinion, if it helps to keep the game running, just add it in. The majority of players loves to customise their characters, so who cares about glove or boot skins so long that they are within reasonable boundaries with respect to personally positive gameplay impact via reduced visibility, even though a fair system should also consider against significantly increased visibility to level the playing field for all customisation options.

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.

Here is a list of unlockables and such I would like to see in the future of Rainbow Six Siege, ordered by how feasible I'd imagine they are to implement:

A comic
The character bios they are pretty fleshed out. We never see this expressed in-game aside from pre-round banter and even then only for attacking, and only barely. What do the characters do when they're not racking up the property damage bill? What is the black president lady's goal? Is there a plot? These are all questions some would argue are better left unanswered, but the guns-chess gameplay they enjoy would not be affected while other fans would get something more out of the overall experience. Siege has such a great tongue-in-cheek theme of 'protecting the free world' to dubstep while black president lady is really pitting S.A.S. and F.B.I. against themselves, but after the operator intros and situations that theme goes out the window as the actual game starts.
Intuition tells me that you could just hire out the character bio writer and the least lovely fan artist on deviant art, but if Team Fortress 2's comic is anything to go by the process is much more complicated. Overwatch is probably a poor choice of comparison since it's budget must border infinite.

Crowd-source charms and cosmetics
We are talking static 3D models. Hell there are a bunch in the public domain. Just add a goddamn fuckload. Give 1% of renown/R6 credits to the creators. This won't impact the game for people who don't care or dislike it, and will greatly impact it for people who do. Would it not be relatively cheap and easy to produce?

Skins for deployables and grenades
Why does only the gun get to have a gaudy leopard print and chibi Ash charm? Why not my drone, deployable shield, or impact grenade? Blitz is supposed to have a good sense of humor, wouldn't he put bumper stickers on his shield or something? I don't really play Mute but if he put down an actual wireless router instead of his jammer I would need to have that.

Sprays
Hire some fan artists to make some pngs. 'Smoke was here' could impact gameplay and go against design philosophy though.

Alternate Operator-unique voice lines
DBNO yell, death cry, beginning of round banter, drone, etc. This is a great opportunity for the characters to express their personalities more. See Paladins' voice packs or Overwatch's system.

Taunts / gestures
How often do you look at team mates in-game? Unless you are playing with friends other players are visually just kind of there. Of course you are aware of what they are doing and where they are but no one will over throw you a thumbs-up. Another chance for more characterization.
This kind of time waster may be against some part of the design philosophy but you know people would buy that thumbs-up emote and it could make for more interesting-to watch highlights. It would also be something better to do after a round-win than throwing grenades and tea-bagging. With three unique victory poses and hopefully more in the pipeline it's a direction I would like to see the game's unlockable content continue in.

Operator-unique animations
How many minutes has the average player spent watching the same animation for barricading and wall fortification? Would people trained in France or Brazil really board up a door with the exact same movements? I understand that all these animations would be expensive to produce, but people who play the game a lot would certainly want one for their favorite operator.

Item trading
Totally not going to happen. I imagine the infrastructure is 100% not there and Ubisoft is trying to avoid a secondary market for renown farming.

Map variations with different furniture layouts
I don't know why I want this someone suggested it early in the thread and it would be cool.

Custom hitsounds
I like hearing the Quake 3 arena 'honk' hitsound when I shoot people in FPS games. This is probably the biggest pipe dream on the list but hey, while I'm suggesting the impossible...

To top it off, the gloves are super rare drops in cases that otherwise contain gun skins >90% of the time. The ugliest are more than $100 on the community market. Explanation here.

Skins are just a wang waving game. If no one could see your skins, would you still buy them? I would, but I don't think I'm with everyone on that.

I wish I could disable other people's skins but then I wouldn't be advertised to every round and that would not work.

Siege is more fun when you realize that getting inside quickly is the best way to play. There were a few times last night playing bomb where I was able to get right into the objective within 30 seconds without anybody even seeing me.

The trick is placing your drone near an entry point rather than suicidally rushing the objective with it

Even on PC you can do that, but it is not trivial to take down anyone aware of you, hence it becomes a problem solely around positioning yourself properly. Some of the better opportunities for a sledgehammer kill on PC are when the last defender is being simultaneously pressured from multiple directions, or when your rusher gets a temporary hold of the objective, and you sneak around a potential roamer return route.

I think what would be cool is dynamic charms. Charms that either change depending on what weapon is using the charm or changes based on your actions. Say there's a "Gun" charm that mimics whatever gun you currently have it equipped to. So the gun charm on your mp7 turns into an mp7 charm, Yo Dawg. Or a lightbulb charm that lights up whenever you pull the trigger of your weapon. Or maybe just charms with movement like a perpetual motion machine on your gun.

They crossed that bar ages ago. I can't count the number of times I've died because of my bright white black ice helmet as Jager or Bandit. Or my vacation hat as Frost. You stick out like a sore thumb.


Also am I the only one that has trouble spotting the spetznaz operators sometimes? I find their camo blends in with concrete (i.e. half the maps) really well.

Same with Hereford, I have no idea how the gently caress you're supposed to be able to see into the office from the hallway and kill somebody. Between the bloom and the breach charge dust and the giant shop lights it's next to impossible.
