Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I think the vector is well done. The numbers on it are insane but it's so off the chain you'll be empty in a second with half the holes above the guy. And those numbers don't matter if you're good enough to just pop people in the head anyway.

Can Mira place a mirror on a wall and then have it reinforced and the mirror be okay? (Unlike a Jager or example)
I might try it to avoid dumb rear end pubs putting the reinforcement facing the wrong way for the mirro

It'll get fixed soon and then there will be something else.

You can't reinforce a wall with a window on in. You get a prompt to do so, but when you try to do it, nothing happens.

j'tais serieux though, Epi officially communicating that it was intended and that they are going to change the ''universal'' nomenclature to make it clearer means that it was intended.

I do not hear you, I do not see you, I will not let you get into the Duggler's head with your bring-downs.

I think people are playing way more free and loose lately. It could be just a lot of new players though.

Operator selection seems to be a lot more varied, every round doesn't have thermite and thatcher anymore. Wall breaches aren't even as big a deal with Mira windows dictating the flow of the attack and Hibana is a nice alternative to Thermite either way.

I wish there was a mode I could play that somewhat regulated the enemy skill level I'm up against. Casual, it's either a complete slaughter cause one guy in our team just aces every round (which makes me not want to play since I don't end up doing anything), or it's a fairly balanced game that is the best fun, or we just get steamrolled cause the enemy is so much better than us.

If I play ranked and am poo poo, will it rank me against people who I actually have a chance against?

Yeah, why is Join Game not at the top? Who the hell puts it between Block and Remove Friend.

edit: Why does remove friend not have a loving confirmation, either?

Same happens when you're a defender. Some maps have really awful glare so whole sections of the room are just bathed in iris scorching angelic light. I was defending as Tachanka and 1/3 of the room to my left was just blinding. Just my luck that it turned out to be the one area of the room that was breached, so I died because I could barely see the peeking attackers.

I can totally understand why people who bought skins might be miffed that support for them is now discontinued, especially since I don't recall that being mentioned anywhere. At the same time, I think the reasoning behind it is perfectly justified, I don't think it really counts as having your money stolen out of your pocket since you still get 28 characters to put them on, and I much prefer CTU-specific skins to universal ones so I'm not really bothered.

And I really thought the skins were applied to the weapons programmatically :cmon: Some of them certainly look so bad that I can't imagine they were put together by hand

cinci zoo sniper

From development point of view, most likely the entire thing is grounded on the fact that skins with complex textures need to be manually checked on each weapon for compliance. So, on year 5 there would be like a room full of Ubisoft designers flipping through 257 skins that could be potentially applied to the RPG-7 gadget of the new Ukrainian operator Kiborg.

This video makes me think - does operator height even play a role in the game? Like, do taller operators have their view placed higher? Cause Mira is the shortest one, and height seems like a thing in regards to the window.

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.

Everyone is the same height in game. Otherwise you would have a gameplay issues of all sorts, especially considering that, say, Sledge is a foot taller than Mira.
