Reputation Score Beta: Status Update - January 2023
INSTABILITY OF PLAYER STANDINGS With the initial release of the system in BETA mode and some of the issues that were identified, we are aware that some players’ standings appear to be unstable and will change without clear feedback or gameplay activity.
To address this, we have already updated certain balancing aspects of the Reputation System and will continue to do so while also improving feedback and the types of behavior considered.

ABANDON MATCH IMPACT - (Quick Match, Event, and Newcomer playlists) Leaving a match affects other players, so we continue to discourage leaving ongoing matches too much. However, we've heard community feedback and have temporarily disabled this effect as we continue looking to bring a better balance.

BALANCING MATRIX AND TOP OPERATOR BANS WIN DELTA VS. PRESENCE


Please note that we are using presence to gauge the popularity of an Operator. This notion had to be introduced to reflect the implementation of the pick & ban.

Presence definition: pick rate of an Operator when not banned. Win Delta: The Win Delta is aggregated from Operator’s Win Deltas per Bomb Site.

It's that time of the year again - Happy Holidays from the Rainbow Six Siege team!

To celebrate the festive season, we have a special surprise for you:

Every player connecting to the game between December 22nd, 2022, and January 3rd, 2023, will be awarded a free Holiday Pack!

The Holiday Pack will be accessible in the Pack section on the home screen. Once activated, players will receive one free Operator from Year 1-7. This Operator will be randomly selected and will not include any Operators that the player has already unlocked.

Those who already own all Operators will receive a brand-new free headgear and uniform for the Operator Ying, as well as a brand-new signature weapon skin - holiday-themed of course!

We hope you enjoy this little gift from the team, and we wish you a great start to the new year.

NEW RANKED SYSTEM
In the past, the Ranked System was a pure skill system in which there was only one value, the MMR, used for Skill and Rank. Any change that we needed to make on the Ranked system was affecting the skill and thus the matchmaking.

WHAT ARE WE CHANGING?
We are splitting what was previously known as MMR into Skill and Rank.

SKILL
Your skill (what was previously known as MMR) will be a hidden value that will be used for matchmaking.

Your skill represents your ability to win a game. Comparing two teams' skill gives you the probability that one team will win against the other. The higher the difference, the more likely a given team is going to win. When two teams with the same skill levels are matched up with each other, they both have an equal shot at winning. The algorithm used in ... Read more

This season the Reputation System will see its Beta release, after previously running in a shadow mode. With the Reputation System Beta, we’ll be taking the next step by giving and showing players their Reputation Standing, while also allowing players to improve their behavior, playstyle, and interactions with others, without receiving any positive or negative effects based on that Standing. Today, we are going to outline its evolution with the addition of the Reputation Standing feature and provide information on the Ubisoft Fair Play Program Beta.

WHAT, WHY, AND HOW FIRSTLY, WHAT IS TOXICITY? At its core, toxicity is any behavior that is harmful to the people around you. In Rainbow Six Siege, this can mean behaviors and actions that are deliberately or passively harmful to players, in either a direct or indirect way.

MESSAGE TO OUR PLAYERS We would like to thank all the players who have taken the time to report and contribute to issues on R6Fix.

R6Fix is key in our efforts to improve the quality of the game we offer to our community. Development and QA testing is a significant part of all our processes, but even then, we are not able to prepare for every imaginable setup or scenario, and often the reproductions we receive from R6Fix are integral to our efforts to shorten the time it takes to fix difficult issues.

In this article, we hope to provide an update on its performance so far for Year 7 and grant more visibility into our internal processes to show how the production teams works with the platform.

HOW DEVS WORK WITH R6FIX The QC team reviews new issues reported on the platform every day, with a special focus on major... Read more

Starting Y7S4, crossplay will also be added to consoles. This will allow you to matchmake with players across different platforms allowing for lower wait times thanks to a larger matchmaking pool. PC and streaming platforms players will however be kept in a separate pool and will not be matched with console players.

SOCIAL & COMMUNICATIONS
The social tab of the Ubisoft Connect overlay will allow players to access their friends list and manage invites. Invites to squad up can be sent through both the first-party platforms and the Ubisoft Connect overlay.

Communication in Siege is key, which means that voice communications will be enabled by default at launch. As long as they have voice communications enabled in their options, players who are on the same team will be able to speak to each other, whether they are on... Read more
