Hey croken, what is it that gives you the idea that they're coming from SA servers specifically?

Hey Bentley, which datacenter are you connecting to?

Hm, I think a debate can be had about this. Thermite is still the best hard breacher in terms of efficiency and quickness. If you put all of them side by side, Thermite has a solid few seconds on all of them in terms of how fast he can get a wall open and how wide the blast is.

And did it level out after that hour for the most part or did you stop playing?

And how consistent is it? Like are you seeing this every game or every other game?

What would you want to see a Vigil elite look like? As a Splinter Cell fan, and a fan of being a sneaky boi, I'd love to see a nod to the outfit he wears in Chaos Theory.

We have a match cancellation system coming later this season that should really help out with keeping you from having to suffer through unfilled games!

This is getting a bit flamey so I'm going to lock it up. Please remember to be respectful to to other forum members while posting.

So, the team just got back to me, apparently this method to circumvent the offline bans should not be working. They players that were boosted should still be banned, regardless of whether the person boosting them has deactivated their account or not. If you see any hard evidence that this is not working, you should definitely open a ticket up.

Ubi can you confirm you're aware of this issue and looking into it?

Also, I'm aware this is essentially telling them how to do it, but I'm not aware of any other way to get through. Cases don't really seem to be helpful with stuff like this.
Hey Dan! I actually went back and asked the team for clarification on this so I can get you a solid answer.

There should be an option to receive an email. I don't believe they can give you specific account names or anything to that effect, but you should be able to opt in to receive the notification.

Hey Kitsu,

It's really upsetting to hear this is how your Ranked games have gone. Thank you for reporting them! Toxicity is a top priority for our team and they're working a few things to help remove the amount of toxicity that our players face.

The Reputation System is in early development, but it'll help herd toxic players into lobbies with other toxic individuals. Also, our team recently revealed plans to tweak the Vote to Kick system. We've noticed an uptick in abuse of the system from stacked teams, so we're looking into ways to solve that.

Originally posted by v^v^v^v^√\/: Well, is it not that hard to implement proper vote kick.
You just need to set some conditions and if none of those conditions were met then you can't vote kick player.
Some example conditions:
- he team-killed someone
- he destroyed friendly equipment more than once
- he is idle for more than 30 seconds.

IDK why Ubisoft is not doing this.
From programming POV it's very easy to do, you just need to set flag when some condition happens and check those flags before initiating vote-kick.

The team is currently looking at improvements and alternatives to the Vote to Kick system and are hoping to have it out by Y5S4.

You only get punished if you C4 2 or more people by being banned for half an hour, which can increase if you do it again (2 hours).

Instead of deleting my comments go ahead and install a timeban for leavers in Casual, and revert the current game mode back to Casual.

As I mentioned above, teamkilling others is not a solution. Responding to toxicity with toxicity only escalates the situation, it injects more toxicity into our community, and solves nothing. Not to mention, you yourself can get banned for teamkilling, so it's best to just not do it. The goal is to remove as much toxicity as we can from Siege, which is why the team is work... Read more

Originally posted by Skylark: Ubisoft I appreciate the fact you acknowledge the server issues in EU but they are still there. Matches take forever to start. Server issue icons are flashing in matches and hit registration is broken when the icon flashes and that leads to unfair firefights and people accuse me of cheating when its the servers fault that their bullets do not register and some of mine does. This server degradation is serious issue I hope you keep fixing it because so far I see no improvement. Today I have also had issues opening alpha packs with server side error message so the server issues are widespread to every function of the game that needs server to function properly.

Did the recent fix solve the issues, or have you been experiencing issues the whole time?
