Every patch they release seems to break something, so I don't expect that to change this time around.
Let's predict what goes wrong this time then.
Frost traps and bandit batteries are unable to be destroyed.

My guess is if defenders go outside and gets marked, the mark doesn't go away once they're inside. Even after they die

I think that there is now zero indication that an enemy is outside and that Attackers can't enter through any breached areas.

Anyone's NAT change from Open to Moderate post patch?

Restarting the game usually fixes that

Only reason why I bring it up is because I did all the port forwarding stuff for XBL and every game since, PC or otherwise, has been Open NAT.
Siege has always been Open NAT...update to new patch....suddenly says Moderate.
People on reddit have made the same complaints.
Granted, I didn't re-launch the game, I just saw the Moderate and just closed it because I just wanted to get the patch downloaded and I didn't actually have time to play.

I was playing this match and at the very last round this Sledge on my team turned to face me when were going towards the objective, i should have known right there that he was gonna kill me but i gave him a chance and just started to run the opposite way, he started shooting and i got killed. I think the lesson here is that i should have killed him first without hesitation, sometimes you just know.
i really don't get this - what pleasure do people get from tking? it sounds boring and inane.

Yes I'm in the same situation. Very frustrating that I can't even launch the game.
Same. Keep getting this error. WTF is going? Ubisoft are truly amazing.

Hey guys I've been wondering? What exactly happened to the game that it went from 31k peak players back down to 18k?
If your checking today, then people playing battlefield, cod beta
And guess waiting for more updates I guess

The more the patches roll out, the more disappointed I get that it seems the technical issues in this game may never get fixed which really holds it back from being a fun, fair and honestly great game. If they did fix the big issues I would be happy, but it's been close to a year and there seems to be the same underlying problems, and the small problems get replaced by other small problems. The one thing they did do was implement a pretty good (not amazing) anticheat, then again that should had been there from the start. I really want to love this game but it ends up annoying me more than giving me that satisfying gameplay, I probably played too much and seeing the same BS gets to me.

This game sucks so hard now. The community is total garbage.

That's not my experience at all. I play mostly ranked games with randoms, I always use a mic, and I constantly get absorbed into small groups and have people add me as friends. I usually sing, though.
I found the more you use your microphone, the more likely you'll find like minded people to pair up with.
I learned a valuable lesson today, and it's that backseat gaming is the worst.

The lack of respawn makes this game so ripe for backseat driving. I was the last person alive on a team recently, and all 4 teammates were telling me to do different things at the same time. One person was telling me when to reload. Then I got shot and one of them said "I would have killed all of them". The only reason he was watching me was because he had just failed to 'kill all of them.'
I love it though, because it allows for Counter Strike style dramatic clutch victories.

What do you mean? How so?
Yea backseat gaming in this game is fucking THE WORST.

It's hard to resist the urge to backseat game. I know sometimes I say too much shit when I'm dead, but I do try to keep it to callouts and facts. I don't tell people what to do, I tell them what I know, e.g. instead of saying "yo reload!" I'll say "you have 5 bullets". If I knew where someone was, I'll say the WERE there, not that they ARE there. When in doubt just shut up so you a) don't distract, and b) let them use their ears to hear in-game sounds.

Yeah, my absolute fav backseat drivers are the ones who, while dead, watch you get killed and then rag on you for dying.

god damn it feels good to properly play this game and get a win when you are outnumbered, my heart literally beats faster when i'm trying to get a clutch.

Between this thread and the subreddit, it seems like the vast majority of the toxicity is on console.
Eh, ignore Alpine he hates the game he plays so much. Secretly he loves the pain.
Regardless, if they can ever fix the hit detection issues or maybe get the kill cams showing what actually happened then life would be great, until they break something else.

Yes, ignore me. After you post a lot of what proves my point. 😉

I had to share this Glaz clip. I don't play as him often, but after pulling this off I may reconsider...

I see you and i raise you:

I got inspired to play Glaz because of your video so i got you to thank
Yeah Glaz can be really good, even if you don't get headshots you can kill people with 2 or 3 shots pretty quickly.
No, not really - I wouldn't describe the community as "hot garbage" or whatever. Not sure what your point is.

Booted up Siege on my PS4 because I was getting sick of Infinite Warfare and I was too lazy to switch to PC. Get kicked 7 seconds into character select. Presumably because I picked Jaeger. Lol.
They should at least make it so they have to wait for the round to start before they can kick you, so they lose out on their precious operator for a round when they pull that shit. Really stupid that they didn't put in some matchmaking ban exceptions.

I really don't understand how people can get so hooked onto a single operator. Typically when I play I just wait until others select their operators before I pick mine, and I just fill the last role. The funny thing is that I always notice that the first 3 picked always seem to be selfish-ish, solo-style classes that roam (ie. Caviera, Pulse, Valk). Meanwhile I'm selecting Rook, Jaeger, Mute/Bandit, etc as it's needed.
To be honest, I've been most annoyed recently by the trend of people selecting Doc before Rook (especially in ranked play). I mean, if you like his guns just use Rook and give everyone on the team armor too.
Saw on twitter that the 4.3 console patch is going to be pushed back to the 27th
Probably someone at Ubi tested it and encountered multiple issues that normally come along with every patch.
A new map and two Japanese operators should be out next month.

There was a small patch released on PC after 4.3 that is causing crash to desktop errors for people with i7-6700 CPUs. Could be related.
Yes. November. 2 new Japanese operators and 1 new map.

I don't necessarily mind that. He's newly buffed, people want to play something new. And it's not like he has no team function. I do a lot of roaming and more often than not, healing up from 50 health when I return to base ends up being more useful than being able to tank one more hit over the course of a round. But yeah, Rook and Doc are best used as a pair.

Ubisoft servers are down for several games right now.
Bought this on PC after playing it for months on PS4.
This link isn't valid anymore, can someone post the discord link? PM it if you don't want want non-GAF seeing it.
Got it, thanks.

I wouldn't describe any classes as selfish since they all make it harder for the attackers in one way or another, and a good flank by Caveira or Pulse killing someone that's placing a breaching charges is extremely helpful, but I really wouldn't describe Valkyrie as a "solo" class because anybody can use her cameras and help improve a team's information.
I moreso meant the type of player that selects these classes in public matches. Went people use pulse or caviera effectively it's great but it always ends up with Pulse on the other side of the map dying instantly or caviera out in the middle of no where while the team secures the area, etc
