What's the deal with the DLC for this game?
-
Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Maps are free, Operators are unlocked with in game currency (renown). DLC (season passes) just auto unlocks the new operators which can take a while to unlock as they are the most expensive (25k renown).
There are certain skins, outfits and other things that can only be unlocked by paid for currency. However you do not need any of that.
If you get the game, watch the training videos (free renown) and play the situations (more free renown) to get a feel for the game.
I personally think the season passes are well worth it but I love the game.
Probably so.

I really wish this game had a skill rating, instead of basing it off of k/d.
I also think you shouldn't be able to get anymore points when scanning enemies more than once during the preparation phase. Even though I've abused this myself haha.

I just wish team mates couldn't scan enemies on your drone during the prep phase. So annoying and useless.

It's never going to happen. Ubisoft still has the "you abandoned a ranked match" shit when the servers give out.

Yea, at least limit it to one time or something, for getting points that is. Without points, people will not mark as much.
Kinda sad that this game is still on it's first OT

Why is the game only $15 on Steam but still best full price on consoles?
dave is ok
aztek is ok
15 dollars is the garbage starter version, don't buy it. You're locking yourself into a huge grind
Wait for a sale and spend 20 on the full version

Is this a reputable site?

Yes. They just sell retail keys. I got Andromeda there
It's probably uPlay and not Steam if that matters to you

Nice job, bet your heart was pounding on that first one.
I am so inconsistent with this game still, I keep jumping back and forth in between it and other games but damn is it addicting so I keep coming back.
I added you last night. I'll shoot you an invite whenever I see you on next.
Thanks, I accepted. I am usually on at night after I put my son to bed around 8pm Central.

Gotta love when people run off and get themselves killed in the first minute and then want to tell you what to do. Or won't shut up when you're trying to hear where the opposing team is coming from.
Usually with me it's where the rest of my team dies and it's 1 V 4 and I'm getting sandwiched by the other team and they get pissed if I don't get all of the people rushing me from two different directions. I mean sometimes you can pull off a clutch because the other team gets cocky, but most of the time the numbers are too much to deal with if you're going against a team that is coordinating.
One of the highest-rated posts on sub-reddit...
The amount of salt people will have for you surviving after they rushed in is amazing. It's possible to get kicked or team-killed in Casual for clutching.
Yeah seems like the community is pretty bad at the moment. Getting a ton of randoms surrendering when falling behind 2 rounds, or team killing.
Man I hate this with a passion.

Interesting comments about the jump out timer. I get the feeling the solution will be to have 0 second detection for like the first 20-30 seconds of a round and then the normal two seconds after. I wouldn't miss C4s on Favela, or the delivery room jump out on Skyscraper or any of that shit.

Hows the community right now on PS4?
I watch Matimi0 playing this game on his streams and it always peaked my interest I just didn't feel like paying 80 bucks Canadian for a multiplayer only game, is the community still strong?

It's strong. There are always people to play with, the problem is the matchmaking. It's not amazing and can sometimes take a while to get in to a match (3-5 minutes) for seemingly no reason.
Rainbow Six: Siege |OT2| Yes, people still play this.

Has anyone gotten an Alpha pack? Or have they not been added yet?
Those are supposed to be out next season (May).

Fucking hell, 3 of my team mates quit in the first round of a ranked matched and I have to either sit around until I can surrender or quit? And lose rank either way? They need to change something.

That's why i don't play ranked.
It isnt that big of a problem in ranked for the most part. It is a huge problem in casual. Unless you are in a full group you never have the same people you started the game with at the end of the game.

Lol such is the life of a rook main.I'm really awful at playing Defense. I just pick Rook, drop the armor plates, hide and pray I get a kill.
I play him more aggressively since once you have used your impacts and dropped your armor you've basically done you're job.
Sometimes I find it useful to be the cam guy for a while until the other team gets closer. Help my roamers get some kills and waste the other team's time so they have to make a last minute push.I'm really awful at playing Defense. I just pick Rook, drop the armor plates, hide and pray I get a kill.

I feel like I or my teammates are getting spawn killed way more than usual. Like it's too easy just to cheese a couple kills on the attackers. I don't know what they could do to mitigate that though. Some spawns are super susceptible to it.
Make all the barriers that lead to outside indestructible until the round actually starts. Problem solved.
Pixel peaks are hard to beat too given how guns work in this game. Basically, if you're holding a tight angle and peaking one pixel, you'll see them just barely and can hit them but everyone else will see you hitting the window frame or door frame. Which results in no tracers being seen by the other side.
It's an issue of the person shooting basically seeing the bullets going out of their scope, vs everyone else seeing them coming from their gun. Ubisoft could change that, but then people would get frustrated over their bullets hitting frames when the scope shows them peaking outside. They could make some kind of indicator show up on the speaker's screen showing that their shots are being blocked, possibly.
It put me off ranked prior to this season, but decided to give it a go this time around. Played around 20 games and I've encountered everything that is wrong with this game including Ubi servers.
