Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Decided to mostly play scenarios before diving into MP so I apologize for not accepting your invite to play, BlueandGold.

This game is very hard but also very fun. I have yet to feel cheated when dying like I do most of the time playing COD. Everything feels earned in this game.

I am ready to do some damage with some OSers now so add me on PSN if you haven't already (Dubplate). I'm a West Coaster who will mainly be on during the weekends.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Wife already said I could buy another X1, not sure I'll get the go ahead to buy another PS4. I'd have to take her on a cruise or trip somewhere.

I thought you had a PS4?

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

First update arrives mid-december. http://mp1st.com/2015/12/07/first-ra.../#.VmYbmdIrKHs

Spoiler

One week in and Rainbow Six Siege is off to a good launch, winning tactical shooter fans over with its exciting attack/defense mechanics and thrilling gameplay. But, already, fans are anxious to learn more about what updates Ubisoft Montreal has in store to improve the game even further.

According to a recent developer AMA on Reddit, Rainbow Six Siege’s first patch is planned for the middle of this month with additional “in-depth patches notes” planned on a month-to-month basis.

Hot on the list of topics are improvements to the game’s hit detection, which Ubisoft did address in their recent Q&A.

“Hello everyone. We have indeed heard your concerns for hit detection within the game and we want to address it,” Ubisoft wrote. “We already knew we had improvements that could be made, but after further investigation, we can share that the problem you experience is based off multiple issues that we will be working on. Some of them can be addressed with quick fixes, while others require development time.”

Here’s a more in-depth explanation of what’s currently being looked into and what’s being delivered in the next update:

BUGS ON REPLICATION AND KILLCAM

Let’s start by talking about quick fixes. We have a few bugs that we managed to get out of the way and that will be fixed for our next title update in mid-December:

– Fixed: Pawn rotation latency: the difference between a player’s action, the server’s perception and another player seeing said action had an extra delay due to a bug. This had even more impact on shield wielding Operators since sometimes players using those would think they were protected while they were not because of the additional delay caused by the pawn rotation bug.

– Fixed: Shield positioning while rappelling: certain shield angles were not being replicated properly, this caused the shield wielding player to be overprotected in certain cases. This caused hit detection issues for the player shooting at the shield wielding player.

– Fixed: Shooting and moving while rappelling: when moving and shooting while in rappel, the hits were sometimes not registered properly by the server.

– Improved: Kill cam replication issues: the kill cam was not displaying an accurate representation of hit positions. The point of view seen after death was not the exact point of view of the killer. Moreover, we have instances in which the kill cam shows body parts sticking through walls while they actually weren’t being seen from the killer’s perspective. This has been improved for the next title update, but we still need additional work on this. It is still considered under development.

SERVER TICK RATE

We are currently investigating having a higher tick rate, which would improve positioning and shooting replication. The current servers run at a tick rate of 64, but the position of players is updated 30 times per second. We have plans to address this very soon and are currently running tests in which we have a position update rate of 60. If the results are satisfying, we will be deploying this in a future update as soon as possible.

CONNECTION TO WRONG DATA CENTER

Another issue we will be working on is that right now, some players connect to the wrong data centers. If you are not connected to the nearest data center, your gameplay experience will likely not be ideal. We believe that the best solution for this will be to allow the players to select their data centers and that is what we will be working on.

GENERAL ISSUES WE ARE AWARE OF

Although we do have a high ping kick in place, one thing to note is that there are some edge cases in which some players have high ping due to poor internet connection spikes. This affects replication quality for the other players within that person’s match.

We hope that this addresses your concerns and we will make sure to keep you updated as we keep monitoring and improving on this and progress within our plans.

In addition Ubisoft is “currently working on making [the Harvard map from the Article 5 mission] available for all in PVP and PVE, on top of all other free maps that are planned for year one,” though “no additional single player Situations are planned as of yet.”

Voice chat issues on PC are also being looked into, among many other things. There’s a lot more you can read about for yourself in the full Reddit thread. Furthermore, be sure to check out this Forum thread listing off all the currently known bugs and issues and what’s being fixed.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

How the **** did anybody run thru these situations solo? Even playing on normal, they're hard as hell to complete.

I do. My post about buying another system really didn't have any relevance on the conversation.

I started doing them on realistic, but that was a bit much. I've decided to just knock them out on normal. I'll save realistic for when I have teammates online in Terrorist Hunt. I've only knocked out the first five, but they're definitely doable.

That Cold Zero mission was so much fun. I was trying to get the star to beat it under seven minutes, so I was moving pretty quickly. Once I got the hostage, I hopped out the window and ran for my life. When I got near the extraction there was an enemy there and I only had a couple of bullets in my pistol left. Fortunately, I took him out.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

I knocked out the first 6-7 solo after a few retries on each one.

But the one where you gotta kill all 14 terrorists under 5 mins(not mandatory)and shoot 5 Nitro Bombs as well, that **** is a struggle, lol.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

I know they have acknowledged the hit detection issues and working to fix them via a patch. I had this happen last night and this shows exactly what is wrong.

I run behind the kitchen island and lay down avoiding the bullets. You can see them happen in the beginning of the clip, I then suddenly die as if my hit box was lagging behind me. This is even more evident in the kill cam, as the opponent goes into aim down sights, I'm already laying down, he starts spraying into empty space and I magically die.

Things to note in the video. Notice how I take 2 rounds while running towards the counter. Then when video goes into slow mode, watch where his first two rounds hit.....the corner of the wall......literally showing how far behind the hitbox is lagging.

Once this is fixed, the game is just going to continue to get better.

Some trial and error for me playing them on hard (I won't even bother trying realistic on my own) but it really isn't too bad so far through the first six. If I can do it anybody can.

Yeah some of the later ones are tough. I'm on #10 (playing on Normal), but some of them I re-did a couple times. One or two missions took like 10 tries.. lol.. specifically the one where you play as "IQ".. man I was terrible at that one. Glad I did them though as you get to see which operators you like and also shows you the basics of the game.

Here's some info on the "best & worst" operators..

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Good list. Not surprised that my go-to's are highly rated.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Just had a great group. We ran through 8 straight Realistic THunt missions without failing. By far my best run.
