    Real "popularity " of R6 Siege

    I could not find any match after 10 minutes from the start of the search on the test server. Where are those "billions" of players that Ubi talks about in the news?

    90% of the "70 million" they always tout are just inactive or smurf accounts. Guarantee it.

    You are wrong.
    Not all players even know TTS exists. The others have no reasons to play there. No renown or skins transferring to the live build, no exclusive rewards - why would people even bother downloading Siege the second time, when you can have fun right now on the current build?

    Was fun to play the tts when you had 2 or even 3 new ops and a new map on there but the 1 op with some border tweaks is just not doing it for me. Another way in which the 1 op policy is hurting the game.

    It took hell of a time to get rid of a Casual map rotation. They must be very proud of themselves now. Because removing a feature after 1.5 years doesn't look like admitting your mistakes, it looks like 'we tried to convince those peasants that we know better what's good for them, yet they still don't appreciate our efforts, so fine, they can have it back'.

    If they really cared or if they really needed feedback, that nonsense wouldn't last two seasons, because everyone here and there gave Ubi the reasonable arguments against it, as well as suggestions for improvement.

    That's funny. I should be grateful to devs, they finally did just exact thing I asked them, but no. It just reminded me all that time of ignoring and lies.

    The last 6 months or so I had on Siege before I gave up...I must have had half a dozen times when I was matched up with a team that had just demolished my team in the previous game lol and this was after exiting out after the first game was finished and sitting on the menu for a few mins before searching again. On ps4.

    I'd love to know how many players the game averages daily. Stating how many people have accounts in the game is pointless as many are smurfs and more still are people who got bored and ****** off ages ago.

    1) Test new features that will be added in the next build
    2) Test yours new tactics and don't worry about the stats
    3) Test servers has better hitreg

    1) Not everyone needs that. I check the differences, because I want to know more about them, before discussing on forums. My friends, on the opposite, are fine with what they have now. They say, if the changes are good, they inevitably would come a month later, if not - there was nothing to bother about. Like the reinforced outside hatches.
    2) I don't worry about the stats. Even when I played ranked, I always could try something in Casual without putting my ELO at risk.
    3) I can't neither confirm nor object that.

    1) I will never believe that only I am interested in testing new features on test servers.
    2) But every "pro player" can see your stats and say "Man, your k/d 1.06 - you are underlow". Therefore test servers better for training than official "quick match"
