So many ads on Instagram - I'm guessing avoid?

Where is the best value? Alibaba?

I'm a 40 year old male and work out often. Wanting to get good value. Thank you.

Only after this new patch and possibly new driver. Anyone else?

I have a 5080

I know this has probably been talked to death but the biggest downfall of Gray Zone Warfare for me isn't the AI, performance, content, or progression.

It's the fact that if you have friends who picked different factions, you can't just casually squad up and play together.

That seems crazy in a game where playing with friends should be one of the main reasons people keep coming back.

I understand the faction system is a core part of the game's identity, but locking friends out from playing together feels like a design decision that hurts the social side of the game far more than it helps faction immersion.

A lot of us have friend groups that didn't all start on day one. New players join later, people pick different factions, and suddenly you're forced to either start over, play solo, or convince someone to abandon their progress.

In a multiplayer game, being able to jump in and play with your mates should be one of the highest priorities.

At the very least, there should be some kind of cross-faction squad system, mercenary contract system, faction transfer option, or temporary grouping mechanic.

It makes me not want to continue you play the game knowing I cant play with friends and id have to start again.

Am I the only one who thinks this is one of the biggest issues the game currently has?

I’ve been playing this game since the 2015/2016 era. Like many of you, I’m caught in a cycle - I’ll take a break for a year or two, get the itch to play again, and dive back into Ranked.

Every time I return, I remember why I love this game. There is nothing else like it. But every time I hit the higher MMR brackets, I remember why I left.

The "Blatant" Ceiling

It feels like 1 in every 2 matches at high ranks has someone blatantly walling. I recently came back from a 2 year hiatus, and every single day I log in, I’m greeted by the "RP Adjusted" notification. While it’s "nice" to get points back, it doesn't fix the hour of my life wasted in a match that wasn't actually a game of Siege - it was just a chore.

The Deterrent is Non-Existent

I actually ended up befriending a few players recently who I later found out were cheating. When they eventually got banned, they didn't care. They told me they’d only had that account for a few days, and within an hour of the ban, they were already on a fresh account doing the exact same thing. The current penalties just aren't a deterrent. It’s a minor speed bump for them, while for us, it’s a match-ruining experience.

Is the "New Era" of Anti-Cheat actually coming?

We’ve heard rumors that by the end of the year, we might finally get a robust anti-cheat system. We’ve seen what systems like Riot’s Vanguard can do for game integrity, it’s not perfect, but it’s a night and day difference compared to what we’re dealing with in Siege right now. It’s been 11 years. This game is a masterpiece of tactical design, but it’s being suffocated. We shouldn't have to "accept" that half of our high-level matches will be ruined. Are you guys seeing the same 50% "blatant" rate in your ranks? Do we actually think Ubi’s new solution is going to change the hardware/account-looping meta?

TLDR I hate cheaters.
