Why? It's a worse version of the one that everyone got for free?

On the flip side the game randomly gave me 4 additional free outbreak packs, and I got the Retro Steel legendary, which is the only thing I actually wanted, so that's neat.

Yeah I got that one and Lion's Vector one, plus two purples I forget out of my four welfare packs. :smugdog:

I don't feel the need to spend my credits to fish through 46 packs of poo poo for the two Universal Skins that I would actually want.

I haven't seen anyone spam slurs in chat since the patch (though that's totally anecdotal), and on patch night I saw about half a dozen "banned for toxic behaviour" notifications which were presumably from pre-Chimera reports. They probably just need some time to start reviewing the reports.

For the ash elite skin you had to log in and presumably play a match between Feb 10 or something and March 6th

They took a while to unlock but it should just be in your ash uniforms.

Lots of people either don't know about or think it won't happen to them, with the new toxicity stuff. One of them said "Oh, you think slurs are toxic, how cute." then called me several of them.

Yeah just use shadowplay and report them. I don't report often but when I do I have a clip of them being toxic provided.

Won 6 casual matches, played one ranked, it goes overtime and we lose. Rough stuff. Do most pc goons play ranked or casual?

they still need to just let people personally mute individual players but at least ubisoft can sell more copies of their game while simultaneously pandering to the average reddit user

Penpal posted:

goons like to race to highest rank they can asap but otherwise mostly default to casual because there tends to be an interesting diversity between active players. there are just as many bad and/or casual players that just dress up their cyber barbies and try stupid strats as there are people taking the game seriously. but you can certainly find a goon only group if you ask during peak hours

otherwise random solo placements in the first weeks are especially full of throwers trying to get into copper as easily as possible while others are ignoring the obj and abusing whoever is op or glitchable at the time to troll people that don't have the season pass

I checked their posting guidelines, they have an explicit moratorium on almost any screenshot that isn't meant to provide information relevant to gameplay. They do specifically state that they'll cull screenshots of a chat log regardless of content.

On defense just play Kapkan, Frost or Echo and let your gadgets do all the work. Sit in a corner with a shotgun and shoot anyone who comes in view.

On offense I dunno, pick Sledge and run around and open every window and hope your teammates make use of it. Or Hibana, there's basically no downside to always picking Hibana. I should probably get her.

Kapkan is one of the operators I play a lot and do well-ish with, though I am struggling post buff to place all of his gadgets, I have a really bad habit of trying to place them as the attackers are entering the building. :v:

On the attackers, I tend to play mostly supportive ops, so IQ, Twitch, Dokkaebi and occasionally I bait myself into playing Ying or Jackal and get wrecked.

Jackal is great but you need to learn that the active version of his ability is very hit or miss (not in it's deployment but in that it can get you trapped/ killed by smart counter play). Just post up with his rifle and support a teammate pushing in and generally it works out.

Yeah, I've found so far he's really good but sometimes hard to capitalize on. I think I'm just bad at PC shooters in general. I am gonna start playing Finka once the initial hype has died down because I like the idea of her ability a lot.
