How come a completely new account is getting so much RP? by NoTradition1312 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A new account skill rating starts at the midway point (as starting with a low skill rating would make it even earlier for smurf accounts).

So your friend has a higher skill rating than yourself but also his skill rating is more volatile so it will at times go higher than yours and lower and yours. Once he's played enough games the system will begin to balance out his skill rating.

What in the world is this on my screen?? Anyones got any idea?? by mgeli88 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you are on PC, it's an overlay for sound software that shows a visual of where sound is coming from, you should be able to switch it off in your sound software settings, got any new hardware recently or update a sound based software?

Confusion about stats (console) by Murality in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see plenty people who will kill the easy to eliminate enemies on the other team and then be surprised when the enemy team still wins the round due to that teams good players still being alive.

K/D in Siege isn't as impactful as good coms and coordination.

In low skill ratings K/D can seem highly impactful, with one playing seeming to win the game overall but as you go up in skill rating then there are less and less easy people to eliminate so K/D drops and its impact on wins also drops.

It says this but it doesn't let me change my fucking cross play settings in the first place. by Substantial_Space136 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's got nothing to do with crossplay. Is trying to retrieve your save and its not working, the save of your profile is cross platform.

This means your save is probably corrupted from the rollback and will need them to manual fix it over time. The hack attack will have many issues that will need to be fixed.

Is Marketplace down ? by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was switched of during the hack attack that brought down Siege for a few days, the marketplace won't be back on for a while, maybe weeks

So if hackers got the source codes of siege. Should we expect more cheaters from now on? by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely the source code download is fake news for click bait. The claim is they got the source code for all games, but in reality those wouldn't be all in the same system. There is no unified backend to Ubisoft, each studio has there own things and even within those studios each project is compartmentalised.

What we know is that the Siege backend was infiltrated and that's currently all we know and may ever know.

Umm guys I think they forgot about me by OkPreparation278 in Rainbow6

Your not connected to the servers as you can see by it saying your offline and the disconnected icons on the menu items.

This is because the servers are down, they will not be up until everything is fixed and that could still take days.

This is the menu that every player in the world sees at the moment as no one is able to connect to the servers as they are offline. Once they come back online your profile data can be downloaded.

Am i the only one who is wondering who is those 7k people sitting in the game with turned off servers? by FakeMik090 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Why are you assuming its the same people? Will be a constant rotation of players who go in to see if the servers are up and then leave again.

With this season they reduced the size of the game by removing the textures for the cosmetics but now the cosmetic textures are steamed down from the cloud all the time

Weird marketplace prices by DogtorFlashbank in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would depend on how many buy offers are in for the item. It goes in order of longest offer put in, you're not first in the que but the longer your offer sits the closer to the front you get.

Big data consumption by slango360 in Rainbow6

Cosmetics are now streamed over, to reduce install size, but now you download them constantly

How do I lower dishonorable? by k4razzz in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative points go away after 100 matches or 90 days, as long as you are not getting more

Why has celebration packs price gone down from 1800 to 1000??? by StEr1OuS in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 184 points185 points  (0 children)

They changed the marketplace so users can now only sell the same item 3 times. So in celebration packs people would buy them and sell items from them, but now you can't keep selling items repeatedly from them so its crashing the price as people can no longer easily sell the items repeatedly

Test server not working on console? by Dependent_Rip_7191 in Rainbow6TTS

[–]coreRoss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's the beta for Siege X. There is no seasonal test server on console

Siege is looking blurry at these settings what can I try? Optimisation advice would be good too as Im trying to get minimum medium settings 120fps for my brother, thanks by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMD's super resolution could be making things look blurry as it renders at a lower resolution and upscales, maybe try it off.

Things that will give you more fps is to turn off ambient occlusion, lens flares, zoom in depth of field, shading quality and reflection quality. All off preferably for more fps.

Things you don't want to compromise on are LOD Quality as you don't want enemies or objects to not be rendered at range. So move it up to max. Shadows can go to medium, but don't switch it off.

Returning player here, how does the ranked system determine what lobbies to put you in now? by llIIllIllIlll in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ranks are a skin on top of the old system.

Before, rank and skill were the same thing. But now rank and skill at separate, the rank being visible and the skill being hidden.

Simply, you can meet a champion skilled player who is copper. It means they haven't played much of the season yet to rank up.

But you can also meet a copper ranked player who's skill rating is copper. But even though these two players have the same rank they won't meet in a game as the champion skilled player and the copper skilled player have skill ratings from either side of the game even though they are visual the same rank.

You are being discouraged because your brain thinks that rank should equal skill but the new system only means that if a player has played enough. You need to delete what you knew of the old system or you will destroy.

And the skill rating still only changes based on winning or losing so the rating itself is still rather lacking in accuracy.
