Insane in what way? Are there too many or..?

They are really good and REALLY helpful. Changes the game (in a good way).
Played a few matches on PC. LOVE IT! The new map makes for some intense situations.
That crap is still there! I guess my enthusiasm to try the patch has almost died.

Say what now? It's always been laggy to me. Choosing an operator and outfitting them has always been bogged down to me.

It would happen every now and then pre-patch but its constant now.
I feel like the operators menus and such are snappier.
It was happening to me after every game in the past week. I honestly thought it would have been sorted. Stupid of me.

Please Chrono
Because there are a lot idiots playing. Who still seem to think this is a run and gun game.
*Match Starts* Hey guys lets formulate at least a simple approach. 'No let me run inside and die within 30 secs'.
stupid ps4 didnt download the dlc even though it was in sleep mode while I was at work. Oh well dinner will be ready in few mins anyways.
Looking forward to messing around with the new characters
Gonna be horrible trying to select the new operators though.
Good news though for me is I should be able to pick Frost reliably on Defense now

I suppose so, but I feel the game shouldn't be suffering from any major technical issues at this stage. We shouldn't have people complaining about matchmaking in the OT on a daily basis.
Overwatch, Uncharted 4, Battleborn, all run better in beta than this game does 6 months down the line.
Everyone that wants to play is American though and that's kind of why I don't want to play in that capacity. I sit on 150ms ping in US lobbies and have to worry about getting peaked by bad players while my US teammates can run around headshotting bad players for free. On EU servers I feel empowered, on US I feel like I have to adopt a more defensive playstyle to compensate for the latency. Even if I can successfully compensate latency with strategy, it's less fun. With that said, sometimes it doesn't feel so bad, and I think part of the issue is in my head.
I might play though since my buddy told me my flawless ranked win loss is going to be reset anyway. Is that true? Finally, the weight will be lifted and I can play without having to worry about losing a flawless ratio, haha.
I'm also a bit worried about how I can stay competitive at Siege while playing Uncharted 4, Overwatch and Battleborn too, y'know? It's a real first world problem.
I only play Overwatch and Battleborn casually but I want to see if I can get a fragged nation team going for Uncharted 4. That would be sick. I guess Siege doesn't have any true competitive play on PS4 though? Since ESL is XBOX and PC only or whatever.

Haven't played the rest, but uncharted 4 had similar problems on beta and TLoU until this day even on the remaster.
Besides COD i haven't played any online game with a flawless matchmaking experience cod can fuck up sometime$s even, there've been always some odd long waits and what not on any matchmaking.
Besides is not even that bad, is certanly not broken unless servers fuck up at some point. I play almost every night with two friends and it haven't be a problem at all.

How's the new characters?
Great, not OP but completely meta changing. It's a massive improvement over Black Ice.

Once I get my hands on Valkyrie that would probably be the only operator that i'll choose, besides rook cause no one picks rook..
Putting cameras outside to see where the enemy is rappeling is gonna soooooooo good!
I always use Rook. Personally we use Valkyrie as a Roamer because of tossing cams outside. It's so important especially in maps like Hereford Base, House, etc.

Haven't played in a long time game somehow looks better. Did they enhance graphics quality? PS4
I'm starting to think it's an EU specific issue

First game I actually choose Valkyrie: kicked before even loading in.
Second: team killed immediately.
Done. This game's community continues to be somehow more toxic than CoD even two months later.

it is pretty toxic, I'll give you that but today is going to be the worst - everyone wants to play the new operators so the children will act out. Don't abandon the game!

Stun Grenades now detonate faster after contact
Stun Grenades now detonate 1 second after making contact with a surface instead of having a 3 second fuse. We wanted to make that change because we think it will add a surprise effect and will make them more effective.

nope.
Like I say- I find a good group of dudes using mics and stick with'em. I avoid toxic TKs and apparently that crap
plus low ping (fiber) if that helps
(if I do get that it was rare; like super rare)
Playing PC with 2-3 man groups this afternoon and the remainder of people have been absolutely great to play with. Some of the best pick-up games I've seen.
Maybe PC community is small enough now it is just the hardcore.

Patch actually brought so many people back that for a time the concurrent users on Steam (no uplay numbers known) were twice of what they usually are
lol thought you were talking bout me for a sec

Played one casual match and three ranked so far with a full squad. Matchmaking is blazing fast. Barely time between round to grab a drink.

They reset rank for ranked but the kd and win ratio still stays. Haha chrono no ranked i guess
First game on new map. Mvp! I like the map! Easy time going around by myself in a custom map. Good destruction not too big. Good flanks for defense. Many entry points for offense. Dust line > Black ice. Sorry Canada

Damn, forgot how much I love this game.
Great rounds with a full team, didn't lose a single match. Played for about three hours. No disconnections, no matchmaking issues. My first round of the night was t hunt and super laggy but I think that was the host. Had maybe one suspect kill where, from my viewpoint on the camera, it looked like my teammates had the drop on a guy from behind but he whipped around and killed him instead.
Of course this is all anecdotal and I'm sure having a full team in ranked helped.

this Uplay pos client is giving me so much grief. I'm trying to update the game and I keep getting the "UPlay was unable to start your download. Check free hard drive space and try again'. I have a terabyte of available space and my connection is fine. The official forums are worthless for finding solutions though. Any ideas?
I'm EU (UK) and I get it after every single match. I sometimes get it immediately after trying to find a Terrorist Hunt match too.
I'm in the UK as well. I can never play with the same team, as this error appears after every match.

So Valkyrie's cameras are amazing.
I don't have the season pass so I can't play as her yet, but they help tremendously.

I've had a little time to marinate on the patch. Overall, I think it's fantastic! I haven't had a chance to play in Casual or Ranked alone, so it's possible matchmaking is still buggered in some way, but it was flawless with a full squad. Some players I was with complained that the time between matches was too short now, haha.
Valkyrie is amazing. Her cameras are ridiculously important to the team. If you place them around the objective area, teams are often too preoccupied with *you* to take them out. However, even as a roamer, they can be very important. I got used to placing three around the objective-ish area, but finding a good spot to hide in and placing a camera nearby to try to understand where the enemy might be.
Blackbeard...he definitely has his uses, but he is NOT OP--not by a long shot. The only people claiming he was OP was everyone who didn't have access to him, haha. I got killed *numerous* times from a Defender directly to my front. He is useful if you play him smart--peaking windows, peaking out from behind a shielded player, going prone--but he is far from OP. Maybe a little frustrating to play against, but not more than the shield Attackers.
Yeah, I think the patch is fantastic, but this is still annoying as hell.
Yeah, they're fantastic. I played her on Defense almost every round. I don't know if all players realize how good IQ is now, though.

^ agreed! Valkyrie's cameras are really useful. Matchmaking has improved by a great deal and so far, things seem to be running well.
I avoided ranked because all the cheating but I think I'm going to venture into it for season 2, seems like the rules are better even if hacking hasn't been fully addressed.

When it comes to attackers
-I.Q
-Thermite
-Thatcher
All feel like must haves. I.Q is very crucial to deal with Valkyrie
As far as defenders go,
-Rook
-Valkyrie
-Jager (unless its Hostage)
Valkyrie singlehandedly made I.Q relevant
I can see Valkyroe getting a nerf, like Frost. Reducing the effectiveness of the shotgun or removing her C4, or maybe even her camera count to 3 instead of 4
4 seems a little over the top to me tbh.
I hope we see some upgrades to existing operators to make them viable. Tachanka's upgrade is a start.
