Ask the Staff (May - Aug 2017) | Forums

[BonafideBacon]

Welcome to ATS, a thread dedicated to communication between Ubisoft and it's players. This thread is made with the intention of organizing questions for Ubisoft, and more importantly, easy to find answers for it's community.

1. Please keep your posts constructive
Posts that are overly abusive toward management, staff, or other members of the community are not allowed. Moderators within the forums are here to enforce this if it becomes an issue.

2. One question per post
Please only ask one question in your post. Asking more than one question in your post may result in your post getting skipped by the Ubisoft team.

3. Repeat posts are frowned upon
Please only post your question once. This is to help keep the noise in the thread down and allow questions by others to be seen. If you'd like to see a question answered that wasn't already, that another member posted, please give that user's post a thumbs up.

4. Not all questions will be answered
This may occur because at present - they may not have an answer, it was already answered, because it was missed, or because the proper format was not followed in posting the question.

Questions should be following the format

Guess I'll post my first question to my own thread.

Misc.
As of right now, how many people are currently staffed and working on R6 Siege?

Why has Glaz's hit registration become such an issue?

We have taken steps in 2.1.3 to address the issues surrounding Glaz's hit registration. It was a combination of a few different factors that we better tuned.

Hi Epi! Thank you for helping me kick this off!
current updates

Misc:

How does the reconnect feature work for Casual games?
A reconnect (rejoin a casual match you lost a connection to) rarely happens but it still does occur sometimes, but no one knows how to activate/use it.

Technical:

Why are new players almost never added to CASUAL matches that are in progress and lacking the usual 10 players?
Quite often i see someone leave in round 1 of a Casual match and there would be no replacement at all, even if the match lasted for 5 rounds...

Future Release
Do you intend to do something against the Drop-shot? they are literally ruining the gameplay experience on console, I have already seen some friends dropping the game because of this problem. At least some penalty should be added once you get prone while aiming (like increasing recoil,etc). If you check other FPS do not allow drop-shooting anymore

When will we see more dev diary's? I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes!
