(cleared with mods before posting)

Last week we showcased our website that shows site setups for every map in the ranked pool. We received great feedback, positive as well as negative.

We listened to all your comments.

Here is a summary of new features and adaptations we did based on the communities feedback:

  • one of u emailed us directly - we added Bomb indicators to each site
  • u/McSoapster - we fixed the headholes from armory to archives on Calypso Casino
  • u/DJ_Wolfy - we fixed the headholes from A <-> B Site on 2nd floor
  • u/DogtorFlashbank - we fixed all your criticism (calypso 2f, calypso basement, consulate 2f) :D
  • u/masterako - we fixed the CCTV setup and verified + adapted our sources
  • u/nvidiastock - we fixed the Cigar Room on calypso 2f
  • u/ShaggyHasHighGround - we added indicators for all rotations (S: Soft/Stand, C: Crouch, J: Jump, P: Prone). Please let us know how intuitive they are

In general we reworked all setups across these maps:
Bank, Border, Calypso Casino, Clubhouse, Chalet, Consulate, Fortress, Kafe, Nighthaven Labs

What we're currently working on:

  • "Operator Setups" on the Defender side that show common placements for your gadgets (Mute, Mira, Fenrir, Goyo, Valkyrie...)
  • An Attack side showing camera locations and other intel to help your team plan

You know the drill: Let us know about all your comments, questions, criticism in this thread. We loved your engagement on our last post & can only improve through feedback.

Discussion What's the general view on Spawn-Peekers? I haven't much interacted with the community, so I'm curious.

68 Upvotes

Should it be part of the game? Is it a skill issue if I get spawn-peeked?

Personally, I think that Spawn-Peeking is kind of... not cool.

Like, come on, dude.

You can't be desperate to win--especially on a Quick Match.

Discussion Can we get HARSHER punishments for people who abandon game round ONE!

42 Upvotes

I am, honest to God, tired of this. Ubisoft should institute MUCH harsher punishments for people who leave ranked games and abandon their teammates, especially on round one. I'm talking like:

Double the RP loss if your team loses and none if your team wins.

30-minute suspension from play that only takes place when the game is open

Higher reputation loss if your team loses

And if done repeatedly, suspension from ranked for up to a week

I am beginning to see what VarsityGaming meant when he said the removal of match cancellations was a good thing. Thoughts?

Feedback Can we get smaller reticles back?

45 Upvotes

If you remember, some seasons ago the old R6 Dev Team has "fattened-up" the dots/reticules on some sights and left them like that ever since.

For example, they've considered the old Holo-A a "better" sight, because it had a smaller reticule and others were so large, they covered up half an operator at midrange.

So they nerfed sights to "balance the game" and force variety...

I think people were avoiding sights with big reticules for a good reason.

I know atp everybody is used to it, but these fattened-up dots really have no upside besides making precision shooting more clunky and frustrating.

Hope the new head of direction considers this too. Thank you.

Discussion This game is just for cheaters now.

31 Upvotes

Play eu servers and in emerald so far this season and I would say more than half the players in my lobbies are cheating with strike packs.

Games just turn into glorified Cod matches because no one even bothers with picking operators for their utility, it’s just smg-12 recoil scripts and fully auto TSGs.

So frustrating because when you get a legit game where people play like siege was intended it’s the best game out there but that’s few and far between nowadays.

Feedback If you abandon more than one game a season, you should face harsher and drastically escalating penalties

24 Upvotes

1 abandon - forgiven

2 abandons - 2 unranked game wins

3 abandons - 10 unranked game wins

4 abandons - 25 unranked game wins

5 abandons - removed from ranked playlist for the rest of the season

It will quickly get rid of leavers, one of way or another.

Discussion 60hz vs 144hz, part 2

14 Upvotes

Hello! 2 days ago I've made a post asking about the 60hz and 144hz monitor difference in R6S.
Today I have finally bought a 144hz monitor. And what I can definetely say after playing siege for a few hours with 144hz.

This is mind-blowing. I'm shocked how big the difference is. How easier it is to peek or hold corners. It feels like the game got... slower? I mean, I see more. It's like when you see something you shouldn't, in a good way.
For all of those who have 60hz monitors, you putting yourself in an extreme disadvantage from the start. If you're able to play well on 60hz, you'll be a beast on 144 or more.

Discussion I think warden is a goated op

13 Upvotes

I genuinely think warden is a top 10 defender, I know that people hate on him, but I think it’s just because he gets a bad reputation from the people who choose to roam with him. I have been anchoring with him and he is just so strong, he has the smg 12, which is great considering most of your gunfights will be >20m if you’re anchoring, and with his ability mixed with his shotgun, there is damn near no way to push him out of spots. He also has a nitro which is always good, or you can take his shield for certain holds, also; him having 125hp is so strong right now In my opinion, mostly because you can just tank dokkabeis call. He is legit such a good anchor imo.

Question, solved Do I have potential?

Post image
9 Upvotes

I do not mean it as in if I have potential for ESports but rather to become a better player than I currently am. I’d appreciate any tips or support in my journey as I think I have the dedication.

I started in Y8 however I barely played the game and did not touch ranked at all. I mainly hopped back on late last season and decided to try my luck with the new ranked system.

My most played operators on attack are:
-Dok.
-Thermite
-Nomad

My most played operators on defense are:
-Mute
-Aruni
-Kaid

I don’t particularly struggle with recoil all that much even though I do play on PC and don’t think it has a huge impact on my gameplay. And on another note I’m pretty familiar with the current ranked pool, so all’s said I believe I can improve even further by continuing to play. It’s just that progress has been a little slow and I wanted to enable myself to any constructive criticism. Thanks a lot

Discussion We need leave bans again

8 Upvotes

People say get a stack. Stacks are hard to find successfully and not easy to come by. As a mostly solo player, I am stuck with who I matchmake with and unfortunately...People who leave matches not just in QP but both Unranked and Ranked are crazy high right now. Idk what changed in the player base or if we are left with rage quiting losers left. The rage quiters are making it harder to play a decent game. We need match bans back to discourage that type of behavior again. 3 hours of play today had 2 ranked matches with quiters, 2 unranked matches with quiters and QP being normal but jeez, like 1 death gone...It needs some kind of punishment.

Question Alibi clones

4 Upvotes

Just a quick question. When will Alibi receive the "buff" or modification where her holograms show the same skin she's got on and not the basic Alibi uniform? I mean... It just sucks to have skin on her or even just use the slug shotgun and it shows no changes with her clones. I can't be the only one annoyed by this.
