People on Reddit are literally saying dumb poo poo like "you script kiddies wouldn't understand, they need to store 2 years worth of renown activity and retrieve it"

and it's like no, all the info they need to do it is right there whenever you check an operator's loadout. Complete bullshit.

These are the same people who call you an idiot if you buy the starter edition after a free weekend and then want to upgrade to standard. It's always you being a dumb idiot and never ubi trying to mislead you with the free weekend experience.

attachments are dirt cheap so we're only talking like 2k renown here but it just so happens that many of the cool skins and bundles cost about as much as a DLC operators.

veterans that bought season passes already spent all that extra renown outfitting every operator in the game.

the only people that will benefit from this are lowly standard edition peasants and as an elite endgame skin connoisseur this would be unacceptable. it is incredibly important that ubisoft does NOT destabilize the clown mask values any further and if anything they should remove them from the store asap and make them alpha pack only thabk you for your time

It costs 5k renown to unlock all Ops in a CTU, there are 5 CTUs, so 25k Renown there.

+ ~400 renown for each op to get them scoped and gripped, so that's 20 * 400 = 8k more renown. Total 33k.

A ha! Enough renown to unlock Finka or Lion on the first day of the new season without buying the season pass, we can't have that!

That's probably the reason right there, or perhaps whatever infrastructure they have setup just can't do refunds in that large a quantity. Pretty sure they got pretty darn close when they took the ACOG's away from every defender except the fatties though.

There were only two other operators with acogs. Smokes acog was removed well before that.

The technical limitation is that Accounting would kill them if they gave away enough renown to buy both the new Season 3 ops as soon as they came out.

its also worth noting that you can pick literally anyone in the game and do fine with them so just choose one that interests you personally until you get an idea of what specific sort of role you'd like to fill. otherwise practically everyone gets at least one good weapon to use.

and even the base level operators are very good. Ash has been a top pick since she existed. and characters like Twitch and Fuze are incredibly flexible because of their loadout options

Also it rings pretty hollow when people say the DLC ops are OP, Ela being (imo) the obvious exception. Ash, Thermite, Jaeger, Bandit, Rook, Twitch, probably some others I can't think of, are all rock solid as gently caress and see play in pretty much every single round/game.

I think the main two who come across as OP DLC ops would be Ela because it is very common in lower levels to peek with, so she will always be memorable for all the wrong reasons, and Mira, because she is has a literal game defining ability (increasing defender sight lines, including through reinforcements) and to top it off, she has a nitro and extremely good smg. She was in literally every defending team in every single match I watched from the recent invitational, while Ela is more of a pub star. Beyond those two, it is all pretty fair, and definitely agree with a lot of the classic ops being very good. We will have to see if Finka or Lion can garner as much hate as Ela.

yeah, mira owns and the only real downside to playing her is people try to tell you where to put them without you asking them. this just goes to show how game defining her ability truly is because it causes a lot of rage when you ignore them but its up to the mira to decide if she wants to deal with captain americas or not. imo she is most rewarding when you use her ability to force improvisation but you can always just fall back on direct obvious defenses until you get a feel for using them towards stuff like late deployments and flanking/baiting.

valk used to feel very op but now that dokkaebi counters her in an actual interesting way it is pretty cool. echo is also surprisingly quite popular now that people have gotten a feel for him and learned to trust in his mp5. all of these classes have a certain level of complexity to them that makes them difficult to master but extremely satisfying when you actually start using them beyond predictable textbook plays. and the game absolutely lets you get away with this sort of loose experimentation well up until platinum ranks so take advantage of it because its what makes siege so great.

also finka seems extremely OP at first glance but more importantly she has a russian shotgun which is the first time we've seen this on attack without a recruit :getin:

It isn't a "goodwill" gesture though it's a decision to make the game more accessible for brand new players. I am a slightly less than brand new player and I feel like I'm getting stiffed because I just finished unlocking all the original ops

Dokkaebi or whoever its said owns though, she's really fun to play, did surprisingly well with Vigil too, his gun is a monster.

Would you guys recommend me just sticking with a smallish pool of operators to learn the maps and stuff? Thinking of picking like 3 a side and just rotating them depending on my team.

Sure, either way it's bizarre to whine about it. The game's been doing better than ever, they didn't need to do this. Ubi's done some genuinely dumb things with Siege recently, so the outcry about not getting free renown where there was no reason to have any in the first place is pretty stupid.

As someone who bought the game during free weekend four months ago, i don't care

But i feel bad for people who just got the game a few weeks ago and just dumped all their renown on what could've been another operator.

And i feel bad for the handful of people who spent the 88k renown or whatever it costs to buy every single attachment for every gun for the sake of having a full collection or testing attachments methodically to tell everyone else which ones to use.
