I think it should be similar to the CSGO system tbh, especially making it a bit more difficult to derank or get promoted instead of it happening every match.
Yeah I don't understand the ranking system. I could win 5 games straight as a Gold 1 rank, then lose one and drop back to Silver IV. I can't stand it.

It basically boils down to you not liking the in-game cost, which is a legitimate (if smaller and easily fixed) complaint. Suggesting they increase the real-world prices of the content to compensate is the sad precedent.
I'm going to leave this now as I feel we're just running around in circles. I'm saying they need to raise the real-world prices to compensate if they can't reduce the renown price.
If they're dead set on valuing operators at $5, and pride themselves in offering "free content to the community", then the in-game value should reflect that—and not pressure those unable to contribute the necessary time hardcore players can into purchasing "free content for the community".
I was fine with them funding DLC with cosmetic micro transactions. But backing less hardcore players into a corner with a more attractive $5 deal doesn't really sit well with me.

Wtf is going on in this thread
My biggest issue with the game. If they can iron out the server issues then this game will be golden.

Completing a realistic thunt in this game feels really satisfying.
I agree we're going to disagree, even though I've said before that 25k is steep I like that they gave me the option to not spend money (as I've used for a previous example, I HATED that TLOU had mandatory microtransactions).
Yeah this is definitely needed. It seems so arbitrary right now. Like you can dominate 4 games, but then drop a whole rank because you lose once. Very weird.

I feel like putting a higher cost for new operatives is a little gross since it pushes you to the season pass more. Still, unless the new operatives totally break the balance of the game it really wont matter anyways, since I feel like the operatives in the game now don't offer a huge advantage over one another (yeah, some are definitely better than others, but I don't feel like they're broken).
Been taking a couple days off of the game, but itching to get back.

In retrospect, you are completely correct in that this is post-launch downloadable content we're talking about here, and not cut launch content. Your point suddenly makes a whole lot of sense to me, re-reading these posts. It's DLC that really could just as well be part of a paid pack.
For me, it's just the whole "free content for everyone" marketing that irks me a bit, in the context of just how much time it'll take for most people. I think a lot of it is going to be inaccessible for a lot of people for a considerable amount of time; certainly those who aren't hardcore players putting in several hours a day.
But then again, I guess that's the trade-off for getting this post-release content plan, isn't it? I just feel disappointed that I'm going to have to pay to enjoy this content because the 50,000 quarterly grind is just not going to be realistic for me at all, and considering the opportunity cost of that time against $10.
Anyway. My emotions are getting the better of me for a game I love too much but can't give enough time for. I'm sorry to anyone who took my confused rantings badly. I didn't mean to come off like that. <3
I would like to point out one last thing to you:
The new Operators might be entirely unappealing to you and your playstyle and you might never want to use them.
I for example didn't unlock IQ because I want to play her. I unlocked her just because I could.
There might be 4 new operators released and you look at them and go "none of them are worth me grinding for them".
We are also getting the new maps and the new modes and there is no grind there, so it IS free and easily accessible content for everyone.
Sweet, just sent you a request

I bought a Bullets or Blades code from a user on a different forum, OcUK to be precise.
It isn't bothering me, yet. Well, unless I am forced to use the rookie guy because I haven't unlocked enough operators and the ones I have are already chosen. I just dislike boosters in general, especially when I can be called out for not having one active and according to one guy (this has only happened once to be fair) I was a waste of a slot. I didn't help matters as I didn't exactly perform well either, considering it was my second or third game.
As I said though, I don't really like any in game transactions, not just in this game, but in any. It's a personal grievance, but as I paid relatively little it's not a huge deal. If it was I would stop playing it.
It is very enjoyable though, I really like the terrorist hunt mode. I won't be going back to pvp until I have most of the maps and gadgets figured out.
Doesn't this image (posted by Klyka a few pages back) refute the F2P thing as much as the complaints about DLC/structure?
Also "three game modes" does Siege a huge disservice. I'd say it has 5-6.
I don't know anything about the game but if heroes cannot be purchased with real money in Overwatch, then the situation isn't quite the same.

What we should be discussing is why the servers are a complete mess on Xbox. It's next to impossible to play with friends, and that's just trying to play casual. Good luck playing now ranked, for whatever reason. So fun and so frustrating. They should give you renown for the hours I've spent connecting/disconnecting to a "squad" and then waiting 20 to find another team, and then the disconnect when the game starts.
I don't get this. Do you mean eventually it'll have 5-6 modes, or right now? Because right now it's 3. Also Overwatch doesn't seem to have any real-money microtransactions at the moment.
Same with PS4 right now as well.
It's impossible to get into a ranked match at all, you'll sit there for upwards of 20 minutes. Casual matchmaking sort of works, assuming you don't just get the "fog" loading screen which forces you to close the game and restart or hope you don't get disconnected in the middle of the game.. And after a match, it's a 50/50 chance whether you'll load into another match or have to quit and restart matchmaking, and if it does that it also doesn't give any renown for the match you just played.

Do u guys have any idea what the new modes are? I mean, realistically, what could they be? And how did survival and sharpooter play?
Drones only, no gadgets, Final Destination
I'd quite like a mode where one of the attackers is a bomber. Just 'cause.
I'm assuming we'll see something like "assassinate the VIP", but beyond that I have no idea. I'm just hoping there isn't some kind of "last man standing" mode (i.e. TDM) because it's really not conducive to the structure of the game.
Yeah the servers are the biggest reason why this game may not have legs with the masses. If they can't get it fixed, they'll lose their audience. Just look at what happened to SOCOM: Confrontation.
They should have a mode that's opposite of bomb where the attackers have to destroy something. Something like destroy the game servers. Will be the most popular mode. Lol

I will be renaming the current PS4 chat to public rainbow six and making an invite only chat for GAF. You have to send me a PM through GAF to get an invite to this one.
Please do not invite random friends into this chat as what has happened in the other chat is several members added other friends who are not gaffers to the chat and hey have been distruptive with spamming messages
People really do suck LOL!
So yeah, send me a PM for an invite to new GAF chat.

Has there been any update from Ubi about the God awful servers? Getting really old playing ranked amd the games not counting because of the "Date Synchronizing" freeze bullshit. Been happening for far too long.

I agree
Maybe a neutral hostage spawns in middle floor.
One team has to bring them upstairs. The other downstairs.
Could make limited spawns. 3 lives max, so you can respawn twice at best.
nope, they were really bad at the start of the week
a patch went out a day or two ago that seemed to make things better

Haven't had too many problems on PC. Only disconnected mid match once in around 10 games.
Neutral objective game types with two attack teams would be amazing.
What I adore about this game is that even the smallest tactical move performed on the fly can feel amazing simply due to the game's design.
I probably spent way too long editing this video together, but a really simple but cool situation unfolded earlier between my friend and I, as he baited Blitz into a trap and I killed him.

Genius. Just goes to show how teamwork and comms can completely change a game!
Ha, that's awesome man, we basically just did something similar in this round!

Holy shit I picked this game up for cheap due to a cheap Gold Edition (£27) on the Argentinian Xbox Live Marketplace.
Played 2 games already and my reaction is just wow. This game is so underrated, why aren't we hearing more about this? I hope it does well commercially.
