Obviously go full Nazi with censorship, why do you think game is designed so that Ash and Smoke are in the opposite teams? :rolleye:

Hard this is your bi-daily reminder that not being able to mute an single person in chat is an epitome of stupidity in game design.

The online player interaction aspect of the game is just supremely awful all around. I know people in this thread largely dislike Overwatch but that's something Blizzard has always been really good at and it's phenomenal in Overwatch. Uplay sucks (it SUCKS, Hard) and Siege really has no more than the most barebones online interface slapped on top of it. I really wish the profit motive weren't so real for it because it leaves very little time for expanding and polishing quality of life stuff like that when new content has to get pushed out the door constantly so the game can justify its right to continue existing.

Finally finished my placement matches and got Silver 1. Perfect representation of how painfully average I am.

Don't sweat it. I got placed into Silver 2 because I played with full squads of good players and went up against gold and platinum for all my placement matches. Won like 2 or 3 out of 10. Then I went into solo ranked as Silver 3, and 4 matches later I was Gold 3 and MVP nearly every round.

My consistent problem is understanding when a room is just a death trap. Like, the entire room is 12 open angles one way or another. I feel like I need to hug the objective and die for it.
That and I'm really jumpy so when I get surprised by a sudden taking fire my hand jolts and I lose my orientation. I'm decent at fighting people I'm aware of though.

Twitchiness is largely your enemy in this game. A good flick can land you a headshot but if you jump when you enter combat then you will die often. Calm and collected people aim for the head while you're spraying randomly.

Oh I didn't mean it that way. I don't like trying to snap headshots anyway (I play a lot of junkrat in overwatch so this is an adjustment to say the least.). I was just kvetching that I have a jump scare reaction to getting ambushed so I cant even put up some lovely self defense and get blown away.
I am having a lot of fun. It's just going to take some time for me to build a danger sense so I know where the murder box is before I'm trapped in a corner, and to realize I might be "flanking" straight into their entry point they're still faffing about in.

Drone ahead of where you're going! That will cut down on your ambushes significantly.

That is a very wise design decision. Echo would be noticeably weaker if the developers did leave idiot teammates ability to mark from the drone.

Nope. Valkyrie cameras are the only type of camera/drone besides the basic one that your teammates can see and mark through. Only dead teammates can see through your Yokai, and only when you're looking through it.

So, I said that Echo's drone can not be used by teammates to mark enemies, and now you are disagreeing with that and saying that Echo's drone can not be used by teammates to mark enemies?

No. I am saying it is not a good design decision for the reason you provided, because that reason would not be applicable either way. Teammates could not mark through your drones even if you could.

Conversely, a player that does not land kills, but still wins often, should be ranked quite high (maybe they make excellent callouts, which is an important factor in a team’s ability to win)

So today i got a kill only because i heard Ash pull up the drone camera right on the other side of the wall from me and knew it was safe to rush in. Something i didn't know that enemies could hear

How many other little things that make noise can enemies hear? Like when you're spinning in place and your guys feet makes shuffling noises? Or how about when you aim down the sights and you can definitely hear something on your end?

Every single one of those things and more

When I play solo with my speakers, I hear sounds much better and louder than my headphones when actually playing in a group for voice chat. Is there some way I'm missing to increase the volume in Windows 10 more than 100? The game sound isn't nearly as loud (or good but these are nice speakers).

You can lower the volume of your voice chat program through your OS's mixer, or vice versa for the game.

If this is something desirable maybe they shouldn't all be using the same smartphone. It wouldn't make sense for them to have different sounds unless you make the guy yell out LETS HAVE A LOOK AT THIS DRONE THEN.

Also is "placing claymore B)" voice line team only? If not that is a bit awkward.

For that matter, why do things like new seasons' voice lines and weapons not retroactively apply to rules like "this kind of weapon for this challenge" or "this kind of sound can be heard by the enemy team"? Do they not have a tagging system for these game assets? Was their game whose continued existence depends entirely on new content not planned for future expansion?

How do you even hear yourself in R6, even with microphone+speakers?

Well, my voice comes out of the speakers and back into the microphone, and then it's relayed to me through their voice chat. Which I find disorienting.

cinci zoo sniper posted:

I'm not sure what you are trying to say with the last sentence, but Glaz is one of the least useful operators in the game. It's a dead weight on the team in any situation that isn't Plane with defenders going for spots other than the cargo hold. Even then, Glaz will often be just killed from the side by a peeking defender.

~Le Operator~ tryhard instalocks Jager usually. Attack has broader variety.

~Le Operator~ usually picks Ash, in my experience. And Glaz can be kinda scary, his rifle does a LOT of damage. You have to be good at the game to clutch with him but he will gently caress you up.

Yeah that's my question, what exactly is the situation that your voice comes out of the speakers? :confused:

He said he wears earbuds so that voice chat doesn't come out of his speakers. If it did, then it would come out of his speakers and go back into his microphone, where I'd be able to hear it.

The rest of your post is pretty spot on.

Hard, why doesn't your MMR uncertainty increase when you unexpectedly win games? It would solve the problem of the game thinking it's "got you pegged" after 100 gently caress-around matches and slow progression if it started increasing again when you started punching above your weight.

It's a great game but it's not like Hard pockets the proceeds of the shop sales. Showing that the game can be profitable and is worth continuing to make content for is not the same as lining the pockets of Ubisoft CEOs by buying overpriced gimmicky skins.

so I was playing a game earlier and had a weird glitch - I was moving throughout the map on my screen and could interact normally with the environment and players, but to everyone else my character model was on the roof, so people were being shot by an invisible blitz, while to me everything seemed normal. any idea what this was?

Had that before on Haveford, killcam showed him shooting me from outside the building. Thought he was hacking at the time.
