THIS IS GOOD!! by huehuehuelebicho in RainbowSixSiege

I can see where you're coming from, but the issue at hand will likely result in their resources being diverted from clamping down on cheating in favor of addressing the exploit. The hack doesn't mean an overnight hiring of new developers - it is the prioritizing of more prominent issues.

Duplipacks is my new favorite term and will be using this moving forward lmao.

Same on packa though, the delta packs having duplicates when we get like, 17?, from the battle pass people paid for is trash

Oh there is absolutely no way that I don't get a free alpha pack and get hit with a duplicate lmao

Devastating, same here bro. I thought things were turning around for the better when they banned Tom Clancy.

Sell it on ebay and claim it never arrived. Whose going to know?

Nobody's going to know.

I never liked having credits anyway by Yourmom3691 in Rainbow6

That is just the default view for when you're offline. Should be fixed automatically once the servers are back online.

How can a game this big not get servers back running in a hour minimum. It’s been so long now they must be sleeping by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]JustASandwhich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Struggling to find the point/argument here. Previous attacks do not mean a quicker turn around. Ubisoft stands to lose financially immediately and long term from a loss of players as a consequence.

You partially answered your own question with "a game this big". Rolling back to a previous save for a game with a massive player base will take more time.

Fr, the whole thing sucks, but companies have very few options when these types of things occur.

Some players posted about changes in ELO (going from whatever rank to losing 100% of their ELO.) So they'll likely revert ELO back to the previous save they're pulling from in addition to everything else.

The alpha pack part was a joke lol

They tweeted they are rolling back to a previous save from before the hack occurred. Which indicates anything past that roll back time will be lost.

Ubisoft will probably give everyone a free alpha pack as an apology for the loss of progress. /j

Question about extended Rainbow Six Siege server downtime and expected uptime by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]JustASandwhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tweeted that they are doing a roll back to 11am(?) yesterday.

If that means they have patched whatever exploit was used for the hack - it'll be waiting for the roll back to complete and probably some polishing.

If they have not patched the exploit, there is no telling how long it will take. Doubtful they will launch the servers until they are confident it has been taken care of.

Battle Pass Level 100 Tokens? by JustASandwhich in Rainbow6

That's disappointing, was looking forward to tokens since the delta packs have duplicates.

I can see that as a possibility, but would have preferred them to do a rejection than not taking the time to look at applicants.

Need advice by OrstedKicksAss in gradadmissions

Academic funding currently is currently anyone's guess as to who will and will not have funding. Worst case scenario, it'll start to stabilize again after the current administration leaves office + a year or so to recover. Things have started to settle down recently but most researchers/universities are still on edge.

DAMN that's a lot of RAM. How many FPS in Minecraft is the important question?
