I'm very disappointed to see no patch notes about the console aim acceleration change that was announced 2 seasons ago. It was aimed to be released Y4S2 but unfortunately nothing yet..
It would be awesome to get a dev update about it!
edit: its coming this season (probably) can't f wait
We are still working on finalizing and releasing it during season 2, not necessarily when season 2 launches.
I'm really looking forward to the new season today, and I'm supporting the devs by buying a season pass every year... but there are some points that roil the start somehow...
- Fixing the Clash/IQ/shield glitches: instead of fixing the root causes of these bugs, why adding the failsafes? I know there's a good intention behind for sure, but from my point of view, time would be better spent on fixing the root causes.
- Dropshotting: Yayyyy its back... I mean, seriously!?
- "Bomb only" in ranked: i don't think its a good move to remove "secure area" and "hostage" from ranked... why not making four separated ranked modes instead(secure, hostage, bomb, and one with all together)? I don't know UBI's internal stats, but I could imagine the majority of the player base is more representive than the pro league one's.
- Matchmaking in casual: Name says it, but it could be better adapted to the own rank/skill.
Nevertheless, I really do like playing R6S and you are doing a great job on supporting this game as a service. But as in every line of business, stay open for criticism and adaption.

Hello!
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to clarify on a few things.!
The true fix for the exploits is a massive reconfiguration to how we handle one of the most critical components of the game. We are testing it as much as possible before releasing it. This is a temporary solution why we make sure that the true fix doesn't have an hidden nastys. :)
Drop shotting will only be back for a short time. Not ideal, but sometimes these things happen . We currently have a fix planned for 2.1 if it tests well!
Bomb is our most played and most balanced game mode.
Not sure what you're saying about Casual matchmaking. Happy to answer if you could clarify!

Performance restrictions. Higher FOV requires more processing power, lowering frame rate.
Thanks a lot for the quick feedback!
As I've some years of intense IT background as well i do know that sometims fixes can take some time and I'm sure you're doing your best to get things up and running again :) But Imo taking some more time to get things fixed would be better than temporary solutions, which could probably bring some more unwanted side effects. But thats just my opinion and the way I would solve problems like these. And for sure, it's not the easiest decision between taking some loadouts(claymores, shields, etc.) out of the game for probably months and making a temporary fix, which allows you to use these gadgets again instantly.
Regarding casual matchmaking: More often than sometimes it feels like matchmaking/ranks in casual differs way too much between attackers and defenders, means we're getting stomped by much stronger opponents. For sure there's enough space for getting better on my side, i know ;) but in some matches I really do feel like cannon fodder... comparing to ranked mode, ranked seems so much better balanced to your own skill level. In ranked the opponents are too strong sometimes as well, but most of the time I do at least feel like I have a real chance to beat them.
Interesting point regarding casual matchmaking! We actually use the exact same system for ranked and casual. Casual has a MMR just like ranked, but it isn't displayed. It is likely that people play them differently, so it is less accurate than their Ranked rank.
Hey can we expect Clash to go back to being banned pretty soon? Please?
Yes. I'm not in the office so I'm not sure on the timing, but we are planning to prevent her from being selectable again.
