It's interesting because now that they've mentioned a Ban/Pick system, stuff like Smoke, Lesion and Echo being a counter to Finka; Echo to Dokkaebi (sort of) etc makes way more sense.

i cna't afford 30$ once a year for a video game that i play religiously, but they better fuckin be updating this game and they better fuckin be nerfing ela and constantly releasing new patches, release new operators and new maps too. i rly think taht the cosmetics ARe stupid and there should be no way for the developpers to still be making money to fund the updates the game is receiving 3 years after its release.

Speaking for myself, although it doesn't affect me personally either, since I don't buy them, it's still probably distracting to the dev team and management--postponing actually game development, improvement or god, even a sequel--if they think they can keep getting money out of the player base by shifting to this new approach. Ergo, I have my concerns, understand his, and believe you should too.

the game has a ton of mtx already ya piece of poo poo.

Still my favourite thing in Siege is throwing a black eye or gu out and a teammate walks into your throw so you end up underhand tossing it to their rear end, which wounds then permanently

the only dev related thing cosmetics would actually interfere with are map assets.

but stuff like hats and charms are pretty simple and easy to set aside if they needed to prioritize. with the exception of the elite stuff, weapon and character skins are literally a 1 person re-texture job in photoshop.

they do seem to be putting a lot more effort into the stuff they're adding which is cool but lol if they actually hired people for this to be their full time job those fuckers are gonna be extremely overpaid

Welp time to bust out that wallet.

I love how Finka gets Ela mine resistance but not Echo resistance, like that makes any sense. Ela will probably be still OP, but I like how they're adding a lot more counters and interactions, I hope they continiue to do so, maybe even for existing operators.

Would have made no sense though because Vigil's gadget only (canonically) works on drones and cameras in a certain range while the eye in the sky doesn't actually provide a video feed. Seems more like echolocation or something.

Why the gently caress can your teammates flash you as Ying?

If an enemy kills you after you've been blinded by a teammate's flash they should get a -100 teamkill assist

Nothing major since her release that I can remember, no. At this point I've basically switched to rolling with her shotgun 24/7 and only using her when there's a fairly small/cramped map coming up. The pistol's good enough for mid-range work, and the Candela really shines against targets in smaller rooms anyway. Throw in one, wait a second to see how they react (most people tend to immediately start spraying the doorway, don't get hit by that), throw another, and then just walk in and casually murder anybody inside at your leisure.

She doesn't share her special glasses but nanobots person does share their nanos.

They could write something into the story to allow Jackal to not be flashed since he has fancy eyewear already.

I'm doing all sorts of poo poo when it bugs out. Sometimes I'm not afforded the opportunity to stand completely still and line up shots. That said, the most egregious example from yesterday was two of the six charges bouncing off of construction on clubhouse. The two top outside pellets did not stick, the rest were OK. I was looking dead-on at the wall and aiming down sites so I could line up perfectly with the charge I placed right below it. I was maybe 10 feet away from the wall.

Hibana is my goto-main so a lot of times I'm stuck playing her if no one else picks her. It happens all the time throughout all types of scenarios. I will say it tends to happen more at weird angles (at least, anecdotally). Either way its frustrating and needs to be fixed.

Well I'm guessing technology wise it works the way those electronic 3D glasses work that sync up with what the TV is playing, so it times it along with the flash.

Like this kinda tech

You see the other teams picks and have the option of repicking one operator, which won't be shown to the other team.

ALSO, Hereford rework.
