The gu mines would be totally OP if they took too long to take out.

At the moment it takes about 1.2 seconds to take out... should be at least 2

 

[FlakGunna]

Had a few rounds of Ranked last night. Seems to run better on my rig, getting 90+ FPS when I used to get 75 on the Chateux Map. I don't like how they've removed maps from the Ranked map rota, House was one of my favourite maps

Also the bullet trace is OTT now, looks too "arcade action" and "CODy". The new operators are a nice addition but none are OP, the poison guys darts are pretty meh tbh... the animation to take it out is too short, I would have preferred something longer with the positioned player shouting to get it out thus giving more time to get at them.

Also the Polish operators disoriented mines are confusing, you plant about 4 and when one goes off you get a prompt telling you but it doesn't tell you which one went off! I know for the sake of Frosts traps it doesn't tell you but thats because they down the enemy, these mines just disorientate the enemy. Would be better if they were colour coordinated and revenant colour text comes up.

Hit detection and gun control is better now. Overall you're getting three new operators, some bug fixes and a better textured map (Chateux).

It's the opposite for a lot of people. They have removed "temporal filtering" from the graphics settings, which gave a lot of people a boost in FPS.

Don't agree. There are (potentially) 7 of the mines, they are invisible, and there is an indicator as to when they've been fired. Making the removal delay longer would make them totally OP. Used correctly, they can lead to wallbang kills quite easily and prevent rushing, which is what they are meant for.

They are not invisible, if you look carefully you can see them. You only get 7 if the round last the maximum time. Yes the indicator helps but my point is once triggered it takes longer for you to get to the enemy than it does for them to take the needle out. By the time you get there the enemy will be aware of your presence and ready for you, the only plus side for you is that they have less health :/

As for wall bang kills... how often do you see them in game

 

[jamief]

In keeping balance with the other ops, I think they work fine. The other traps don't even indicate that they've been triggered (frost/kapkan etc) so not sure why you don't think they are useful.

 

[elrasho]

Kapkan trap kills or severly injures, Frost traps down the enemy.... needle thrower is the equivalent of walking bear foot on a Lego brick :/

 

[jamief]

We'll have to agree to disagree! They are designed to slow down the attackers and indicate that they've been triggered. Lesion can see when any are triggered (and where) and call out to teammates. While the attacker is pulling the mine out, the defenders can hit them. The mines promote good comms and slow down attackers.

This is Siege The only comms I get is toxic

 

[jamief]

Casual or ranked? I've made a few "friends" through casual who I play with and we have pretty decent comms. Solo queue though and its hit or miss!

 

[dan958]

Give it time for people to get used to the new meta, then we can decide what is OP or not. I remember thinking Jackal was OP when he was first released! I do have a feeling that Ela is going to get nerfed a little though, she is a great roamer as well.

Gu Mines are great at using them to wallbang. Plant one down, go behind a destructible wall, when you see it has been triggered - shoot through the wall.

 

[FlakGunna]

Plz i remember after the smg11 nerf you missing a low HP enemy with a full mag in a closet,prob still haz the vid top kek





Ummm we are on dis discord https://discord.gg/QUez9D,on tuesday we will all be on,on Uplay i iz Criminalpuppet,plat is easy in r6 tbf,plz join and help carry mynight,he had an 'adjustment period'


Edit: pick hibana expect a TK btw lol xD

Added you. That Discord link has expired, send me new one?

 

[dan958]

I have removed the Blood Orchid operator introduction videos, and the Theme Park map leaked video.
Some news has been added, and I have added a few extra guides & helpful links.

 

[jamief]

Not sure I like the new map much. New ops seem OK (I've only unlocked Lesion though) - his mines are pretty good, and the shotgun is very cool, although only 6 rounds and slow reload means it has to be used carefully.

I thought the same about Coastline when it was originally released, now I love it. Hopefully the more you play of it, the more you will enjoy it. Shame it doesn't appear often due to the rotation.

 

[jamief]

Good to hear as I really like coastline! To be fair, I've only played theme park a few times as it rarely seems to come up in casual, and I don't play ranked.

TTS update

The next PC TTS Phase will start on Wednesday, September 20th. It will be available starting at 1pm EDT, and end on Friday, September 22nd at 1pm EDT. We will be testing a variety of new features, and are looking forward to your feedback. Please be sure to report your thoughts on the following after trying them on the TTS subreddit.

Operator Buffs
During this TTS phase, we will be testing adjustments to two Operators. Kapkan is now more nimble, and is now designated a 2 Speed Operator. He is also carrying more of his upgraded traps, which do not have a laser, nor do they deal lethal damage. Additionally, #BuffBlitz2017 is officially a go. Blitz will be able to move more quickly with his shield up. Jump on the TTS yourself and give us your feedback!

Network Health
We will be implementing a series of adjustments to improve your experience when it comes to monitoring the health of your network performance. For this, you will notice four new icons in the upper right corner of your screen. These four icons will denote the quality of your gameplay experience concerning your ping, connection stability, FPS, and host stability, respectively from left to right.

Network Icons
We will also be testing improvements to hit validation, latency alignment, pawn-to-pawn physics, replication, and removing the processing delay from your overall ping. More details about all of these points will be coming in a Dev Blog in the following weeks.

Gameplay Fixes
Testing for various fixes involving vaulting, explosions, and gadgets will be occurring during the TTS. If you are encountering issues with these three aspects of the game, please provide us with as much detail as possible.

Recoil
As noted in an upcoming blog, we will be revamping the recoil for most automatic weapons in the game. During this TTS phase, we are going to be testing more of the recoil patterns. Keep in mind that you are not testing a final version of these recoil patterns, or even new patterns for all weapons that will be receiving them. We are eager to get your feedback on how the new recoil patterns feel!

Collision Fix Test
The team will also be testing a tentative physics fix for various collision related issues, like Player Clipping, Shield Vaulting, Drones, etc.

Kinguin has it for £20, but I know how some people feel about those type of sites.
