Been having a good time as smoke lately. The shotgun is great for opening lines of sight and the smg-11 is loving ridiculous. Also great when combined with a Mira on a soft wall since you can open up the top of it and throw beauties safely

I'm pretty sure it was against the guy that messaged me saying "Blackbeard is a bitch character, you're a huge pussy for using him"

it felt good

I wonder what the Venn diagram is of people that think Blackbeard is lovely and needs a buff, and people that think everyone but themselves playing Blackbeard is a pussy bitch.

Blackbeard is like, the LEAST pussy character. His power is literally to be better at being shot at. It serves no other purpose than to take a few extra bullets so you can kill more efficiently.

Oh my God what the fuck am I?
I did a shameful thing.

Was matched up against a stack that was looking to clown on my team by doing poorly advised run outs and trying to outplay our team. Mira jumps out a window and downs our Thatcher and I kill her. I make my way over to Thatcher to pick him up and, around the end of the animation, Kapkan runs out. I start moving my mouse to aim at him and begin firing... but Thatchers getting up animation was still going and his body was rising to match my aim. He insta died to my shots and the delay gave Kapkan the chance to kill me.

Thatchers wha? In chat was really all that needed to be said. Back to main menu with me.

I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

Accidental TKs wouldn't be so common if people couldn't get shot by a bullet that hasn't left the barrel. Two people standing shoulder-to-shoulder shouldn't kill one another when one clips through the other just by walking sideways.

They don't clip into each other though, not to any extent that they cause teamkills when they would otherwise be shoulder to shoulder. I haven't seen a single instance of 'teamkills caused by a shoulder clipping into a teammates model' ever. It's a dumb imaginary complaint

I can't say I recall the same scenario occurring anytime recently, but this is r6 we are talking about. This game is broken as gently caress on a good day. Last week I had a team mate kill himself without doing anything. He just died out of no where. I've got 200+ hours in this game. Weird poo poo happens all the time.

it's really not as bad as it was before and it a pretty stable good game now

the worst it gets is when a glitch goes public and is abused to meme status because ubi won't patch until the next cyber athlete esportz tournament. stuff like the valk cam on bank or jager's invincible blackbeard shield.

even hibana's ability rarely glitches out of you bother to ADS, at least compared to before. the technology in this game is often so crude or weirdly advanced and experimental that tbh inconsistency shouldn't matter in either end of the spectrum

i mean the game has about as many issues as any shooter but i wouldn't say its straight up broken as a defining characteristic... even though they take way too loving long to patch stuff and do really questionable things regarding buffs/nerfs to the characters. ubi has been pretty active in actually improving the game more often than not even if they can't keep their promises in regards to a dev roadmap - telling us we aren't getting a new map or operators for an entire season then come out with a totally over the top yet temporary coop campaign that has multiple maps.

the real issues with this game are the openly predatory business practices and way they handle power creeping and down-tuning blatantly overpowered characters

Beginning with the launch of Operation Chimera on March 6th (18:00 UTC), we will be removing the Renown cost of the original 20 Operators for all players who own the Standard Edition or the Advanced, Gold, and Complete editions. Additionally, we will be removing the Renown cost of attachments for all past and future Operators. This will mean that you have all attachments made available to you for all Operators.

This will be effective for everyone who already owns the aforementioned versions of the game, and any new players who purchase the game in the future. Unfortunately, due to a technical limitation, we will not be able to issue refunds for players that have already acquired these Operators, or attachments.

This game has the MTX model that I wish more companies would use, I don't think it's predatory at all. Cosmetic only + gives you the ability to buy any item you want with in game currency. That, in addition to all the maps being free makes any complaints about new operators being a little strong resonate less with me. Of course, I'm coming from CoD where they still have paid DLC maps and loot boxes with non-cosmetic items.

Edit: I forgot about the category in the store page that is only for real money. But still, it's cosmetic only and it's not a blind box.

Only if you care about immediately having the DLC operators/loot boxes. Standard gives you everything to start out with without loving you like Starter does.

i like the system too. unlocking stuff gets players to focus on a select few operators early on. i know the intention is strictly for skimming profits but it also makes it easier to spot smurfs or nerds that do cool things like main Doc/Thatcher before they even unlock ash/ela.

but if you look at the pricing changes (that were reversed) and the way the starter edition is handled its pretty silly at times. the community has taken it upon themselves to redflag the poo poo out of this to keep new players from rage quitting when they find out what they've bought into. surely its up to the consumer to educate themselves but it really feels like ubi purposely makes it confusing for people that want to impulse buy the game after a free weekend

even the notoriously volatile 4chan threads have put a daily disclaimer not to buy it at the top for months because of how easy it is to get duped

but they're obviously addressing this in the next few days so its not really going to be as big of an issue anymore


Jack Trades posted:

this. but also you can just buy dlc operators individually for much cheaper if there is only 1 or 2 that you sincerely want. otherwise you can just unlock them through normal play with whoever you got already

mp5 posted:

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
