Yes, and the daily challenges too. It was at the start of this season.
Hmm.. might be worth looking into. I have stopped playing because it has gone so far from the original Siege, it was no fun for me. I miss vanilla Siege.
Vanilla Operators are still some of my go tos.
Man, I wish I hadn't qualified right after the new season started. That was awful. It's better now, but still more team killing and quitters in Ranked than I can remember having in the past.
Game is still a blast, years later.
Anybody finding the game loads a lot more ever since the Ubisoft connect thing? It takes me a solid 10-15 minutes to connect to the servers on launch, and then several more minutes of "validating and updating" after matches, I can play the actual game fine once I'm in a match, but the connection seems super jank in menus, it's always trying to do something.
so I have to buy battle pass to get the new characters?
No, this Tuesday they are available for the usual 25000 renown. The BP has the new ops for two weeks early access before purchase-ability going forward. That exclusivity ends this Tuesday.
I've been on a 15 lose streak in this game tonight. I don't know wtf is happening. 😂
Also, I've just made it to tier 50 of the battle pass. Not sure if I'll be able to finish it. :/

Seems like, while playing on PS4, every second time I get killed the kill cam shows my killer clearly using a mouse with lightening turning and reaction speed. Fucking shit is ruining the game for me.
I've finally made it to level 300! lol
Can't believe it! Been playing since the closed beta.

Y6S1.3 DESIGNER'S NOTES
In this latest edition of Designer’s Notes, we'll go into more detail about the balancing changes that’ll come with the Y6S1.3 patch and give you an insight into the reasons behind these changes.
www.ubisoft.com
Upcoming TTS changes. Jager/jackal nerfs, Tachanka buffs, Ace loses smokes/gains claymore, Thermite regains smokes, and many more changes.
Yellow ping is by far the best thing they added to game.
Also, Golden Gun is back, is nice time to pop up a booster and farm there for renown and battle pass xp.

Interro and Kixstar are casting valorant on nerdstreet's twitch channel and doing great. I'm more interested in val than I ever have after spending some time listening to them.
Men this is unfair af, im still missing a couple Black Ices and game gives me duplicated Black Ice.. gg Ubi
If it makes you feel any better, all the legendary alpha packs from this battle pass have been duplicates for me. As for black ice skins, I've gotten 3 duplicates one in this battle pass too. The only new one I did get was for Frost/Buck's pistol.

And new event.
I was playing Ace nonstop this weekend because I knew the smokes were going away. It happened to be perfect timing it seems. His kit with smokes was too good really but now I can come back home to Thermite.
Not a fan of this event either. I ended up getting Rook's head piece from the free alpha pack. Honestly, all I want is Maestro's rainbow mohawk.
To me, it's very disappointing that they do not include challenges to unlock another free event alpha pack like they used to do. I do like that you can buy the outfits now with money if you want to, but I miss my challenge event alpha pack rewards.
In other news, I've finally completed the battle pass! Just in time too because Dead by Daylight is adding their next battle pass later today. Man, these battle passes are killing me lol.

Been following since last week as best as I can while I'm at work. Was pulling for SSG to repeat from the last Invitational but I didn't think it was possible with a last second Canadian. And I know the matches with OXG and TSM were technically close but I thought OXG could have taken the second map and gone to OT on the third. TSM has a tough road ahead against LATAM.
Yeah, pretty much my thoughts too. Did you watch the TSM vs Team Liquid game? It was quite something.
I wish Oregon wasn't so incredibly one sided but that was still amazing just because of how Team Liquid were just on it the whole time and so dominant after Chalet. Five straight wins on attack for Liquid is nuts. I wish we'd gotten Coastline instead of Kafe but I remember the casters saying taking LATAM teams there was asking for trouble.
And now with Team Liquid going 2-0 over MIBR I think they could claw back and take it even one map down.
In couple minutes they will announce new season + operator.
I think the new OP looks great. Not big on the .308 but the gadget will be fun. A couple for anchors, and one for roamers, and Thunderbird herself has the kit for roaming.
How's everybody feeling about the global balance changes? I'm not a high level player but I think they're certainly interesting. I do think it's easy to zone out while you're dead, and I appreciate having more things to do during support phase. Balance-wise, it seems like they know they're upending 5 years of Siege gameplay and they're being careful about it though.
Edit: quick glance at impressions on Reddit are, uh, not positive. Lots of accusations of Ubi dumbing down the game. Not everybody is a plat with 2000 hours. I'm personally of the opinion that Siege is way too complicated as is.

The dead bodies replaced by icons I do not like. I'd rather they have server-side corpses instead but I do understand why the change is coming.
No sign of the Goyo change, but the Melusi change seems a little harsh. I like that the gadget is vulnerable to bullets when it's active but I think the flaps should still block from weapons fire. So shooting it from the side is a little obscured but from head on its an easier target.
The Mira change is fine I think. Saves you a smoke but also attackers have a hard time just walking up to a Mira window anyway so if they get there that's on who is playing behind the window. Depends on where the window is I guess, I never put them on external walls.
Kinda rough for Maestro but I guess you can't be as aggressive with Evil Eye placement anymore.

Oh yeah I forgot about the corpse change. The icon replacement fix is awful. I get it, but god it's such a heavy-handed way of fixing the problem.
I think the Melusi change is fine. If it's placed in a decent location that will make the attacker look to shoot, it can still be effective as a distraction. It can't just be plopped down in the middle of a hallway and slow down a push if you don't have explosives. Maybe it can be balanced by how quickly/slowly the flaps open to make it vulnerable.

There's still no word about the Goyo and Nokk changes. I guess they still need more tuning too.
The bodies thing is absolutely terrible.
The team has pretty much killed the game off for me at this point regardless.

They're doing new tests with nokk on the test server again.
That Melusi change is interesting. Detecting feet could make it very viable paired with feet holes along a wall.
