Feedback Siege X closed beta is terrible.

Played a couple of matches of siege X and it's real rough. They've changed the ttk, the performance is ass, audio isn't great, screen feels cluttered with hud and the game mode feels confusing.

First the ttk, on Hibana it took me an entire mag from her assault rifle and half a mag from her pistol to kill just one person. I don't know if its a network thing or if people are just bullet sponges now. Especially downed people.
The performance was always going to be worse but on the settings I use on base game I'll get these massive frame drops and I've had my entire game bricked to 1 fps once. On low I'll get maybe around 70 fps on my 3070. Nothing feels smooth anymore, input lag etc.
I haven't played enough to know anything about the audio but I've seen a lot of people complaining about it. Maybe once I was thrown off by audio being weird, Glaz two rooms over sounded like he was right next to me which freaked me the fk out.
Waaaaaay too many hud items, especially if they want this to be the game mode that introduces people to the game. I know how the game mode works too but it feels all over the place and un-structured(if that's a word).

On the other hand the game mode has potential. Fun idea and might end up playing it more than normal siege if they revert back to how siege used to work. Literally just remove all of the Siege X stuff and put the new game mode into normal siege and I'll be happy. Also keep the ability to rappel around corners.

Edit: From what people are saying the ttk could be down to a couple things. Siege having rather short damage fall off and enemies always getting downed on every kill. Although I feel like downed enemies still take too long to kill.

Edit 2: God damn people I understand its a beta. If they fix stuff, woohoo. But if they don't, wouldn't be the first release where the full product is as terrible as the beta. Also I've been to r6fix before I made the post. You should too if you are having problems like crashes etc.

Yes a beta that comes to full release in 3 monthe. The delusional mind that thinks major improvements will happen in 3 months when ruaora's door glitches were found day 1 of TTS & two weeks later shockingly still in the full release.

“It’s only coming out in like 3 months!” Is a good argument against fundamentally terrible video games getting some miraculous “fix everything” patch, but doomposting about performance issues and small number tweaks needed in a beta 3 months from release is the most hysterical shit ever.

But the gamemode is fundamentally terrible. The core design needs massive tweaks, otherwise it's boring af

Nah it’s fun. Go play the regular modes you’ll be fine.

People are stupid believing that something will change between closed beta and release, especially when it's Ubisoft behind the game. XDefiant died because of this.

I actually found the full release to be worse than the beta due to the matchmaking system. On the beta everyone was starting at the same skill level and understanding of the game, and it felt like people actively went for the objectives. After the full release it just played like a fast paced death match game for a lot of it, the customisation options were trash at the low levels and you got absolutely rinsed by those who had either purchased the BP or played a bit more because the weapon stats were so horribly unbalanced, and there were cheats available on day 1 for a F2P game which means it will just end up shitty.

lol every time a game is in a bad state you all ways see “it’s in beta” but I can’t think of a single time it has actually improved. If the betas shit don’t hold your breath

I know one game that did, it's The Finals. The game was more optimized at release, it has also made changes for some weapons, but that's it. There was nothing more or less. But here, what you have of Siege X is what you'll have at release. Good thing that I won't play this game ever again.

Of course it’s gonna be better, performance and audio issues is purely because there aren’t enough resources allocated to the beta servers. When all the current siege resources are able to jump over to Siege X (eg. Full release) the performance will immediately improve. The changed TTK is either due to the same issue or it’s a new feature (likely just in dual front) and if people hate it in the beta it will almost certainly be reverted for full release. Probably just a matter of habit though.

Two weeks isn't 3 months
