[rancid schooner]

like, im happy the game releases this year, and it was great in tt2 but acting like it embark wasn't building up hype to something that ended up being a disappointment is untrue.

it's their hypetrain to maintain. no matter if it was fans or their fault, they're the ones who now have angry fans.

and yeah i think the trailer was bad. tt2 trailer had lots of gameplay, this didn't

[whole kraken]

still waiting for that hyper realistic body cam shooter game that had a trailer some time back, that’s that real next next gen

[ornate tapir]

that is never going to happen, no other game is even thinking about throwable physics objects with actual mechanics let alone in a multiplayer, the investment is too high for almost every studio to set this up

[fast hollow]

I personally like knowing the release date of the game and this is definitely not a unique thing thats only been done by Embark

[elfin jewel]

kyoto is ass nobody wants to have fun and nobody does have fun it's a roof camping fest with the worst designed buildings in the game
should be taken out of ranked tbf

[foggy mason]

u should be taken out of ranked

[nimble kelp]

tbf. they are making the buildings true to the time period. but then again, i feel like they shouldve modified it a bit

[elfin jewel]

I took myself out already every game was LLL

[whole kraken]

yea it’s SAD. so i’ll support embark as much as i can, while they’re not perfect, they’re atleast trying something completely new

[ornate tapir]

kyoto is now better than the mexico map cause the water slow down has been removed

[grizzled lark]

I like Kyoto in Cashout but really don't like playing Power Shift on it

[foggy mason]

that just means free games lol

[fast hollow]

they have 5 months to build up hype and people already pretending its dead cuz they were given an arg countdown instead of another beta they feel entitled to

[rancid schooner]

I bet Embark is smarter than me about this, but I am worried this game releasing right after summer holidays, right along COD and as I've heard maybe Battlefield, I hope it doesn't become another The Finals

[silk frigate]

worst designed buildings
Its a Japanese architecture, bro

[rancid schooner]

I don't have any interest in raiders, at best i'll ignore it and at worst it will take resources away from this. But creating a whole ARG for a nothingburger would have made me cranky too even if the nothingburger would otherwise have been fine.

[dusk rover]

why are we defending kyoto

[elfin jewel]

our team was LLL

[nimble kelp]

im defending kyoto. theres no we in team

[foggy mason]

well why did you pick L and not M

[fast hollow]

The only bad thing Embark did regarding Arc Raiders is underestimate the pure stupidity and entitlement of their fanbase

[silk frigate]

Arent BF coming out in March of 2026?

[rancid schooner]

exactly.

even if people are at fault for going mental about it, it's like... don't tease your fans for this :P

kyoto used to have fun quirks for the MGL32 which they... recnently broke with the 'water no longer slows' change so i went from liking it to hating it xD

edit: everyone slowing down and getting hit without a bounce was fun while it lasted.

[whole kraken]

kyoto feels way too open for power shift. good power shift needs those buildings being destroyed through

[karmic valley]

"they didn't so why would i!"

[silk frigate]

there is tea in team

[fast hollow]

an arg with the release date made the Arc Raiders community effectively turn into those 6 year olds you see throwing tantrums in public when they dont get exactly what they want

[ornate tapir]

the trailer is what actually made everybody mad, and nobody will outright say it, nobody at embark knows it

[grizzled lark]

it's also so easy to get stuck below the platform without a way to gain height and get above it

[rancid schooner]

I've no idea, I've heard multiple things and wouldn't be surprised if they had some beta

[elfin jewel]

water slowdown is unrelated to the horrible layout of the map and poorly designed buildings

[fast hollow]

stupidity and entitlement made everyone mad

[silk frigate]

Gaming community is fucking dead

[fluid canopy]

u know there is jumppads everywhere on kyoto right?

[whole kraken]

yea real, the most infuriating thing is being like a heavy or summin and having no way to help your team until you find a jump pad

[deft hawk]

slowdown was removed

[rancid schooner]

remember titanfall 2 is considered to be one of the best fps games yet it died flat because it released near cod and bf

[foggy mason]

chat is stupid rn why are we complaining about arc instead of v9s not getting a nerf

[karmic valley]

everybody
if you mean everybody with only 2 working braincells then you're right

[grizzled lark]

circle jump pads? where

[fast hollow]

bet you theyll still be buying those new cosmetics in the finals every week, right after they review bombed the game

[elfin jewel]

are you 2 messing with me? read the message

[fluid canopy]

no the triangle ones

[whole kraken]

well the multiplayer died, but the game itself was actually pretty successful, the campaign is highly regarded, and it directly spawned apex legends, which has been a commercial success

[ornate tapir]

everybody who cared about arc got a bad taste in their mouth today, as a gaming company there's no incentive for you to do that, even if theyre not mad, nobody went away from the stream with joy

[woeful dock]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-storm-lightning-cloudy-gif-17607709

[fallen vale]

balls

[nimble kelp]

yeah but sales didnt meet so it failed

[rancid schooner]

yeah but the multiplayer was the main selling point, and it fell flat.

[fast hollow]

6yo throwing a tantrum in public cuz they didnt get exactly what they want

[silk frigate]

they review bombed The Finals?

[grizzled lark]

exactly, those help you move forward (to a basically predetermined spot) but don't give you height

[nimble kelp]

in corpo gaming, if it didnt sold well too its also a fail

[elfin jewel]

it doesn't matter what I pick tbf 1v3 either way

[whole kraken]

true. afaik they would’ve actually made titanfall 3 instead of apex but they needed to please stakeholders and battle royale was the only way at the time.

[ornate tapir]

its not like theyre making M rated games, these are games for underage people

[rancid schooner]

people are just too eager to be hateful to one another :(

[fast hollow]

The sad part is this is a 6yo tantrum level bandwagon

[versed verge]

The controller movement throttle in this game is stupidly noticeable once you start getting into high ranked lobbies. GIVE US M&K

[karmic valley]

if you CARE about arc raiders and you got disappointed that game didn't got released in a month after semi-open alpha test - it's your problem
if you Care about the game - you'll wait for the release anyway
if you pretend to care - lmao

[nimble kelp]

like i said. and alot of people said. its easier to hate, harder to accept

[foggy mason]

except controller is literally better for this game

[ornate tapir]

I can gurantee you if arc had just put out 1 jpeg of just the release date, it would've had a 100x positive reaction than the one you got, its the entire thing including the trailer, its activated something subconcious even in me lol

[fast hollow]

me when I care about arc raiders

embark: *doesnt mention any betas or early alphas

omg worst game company they did this to themselves, time to review bomb

[rancid schooner]

And what is that?

[hazy hearth]

So season 7 is not the arc raiders tie in 🫩. Although I am happy we are finally getting a named season…. I desperately hunger for the lore 🫩🫩🫩

[fast hollow]

games releasing args with release date teasers are nothing new

[fluid canopy]

and what about those tho know that releasing would be stupid but still hoped for a beta based on embarks teasing

[viral valley]

are we still yapping about trailers

[versed verge]

Unless you have a paddled controller it’s really not. We had to struggle with toggle menu for the longest and when they did add a hotkey option it was hot garbage. I would give up aim assist 1000/10 to have M&K

[whole kraken]

boycott nintendo!!!

[viral valley]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-gif-3664239514826816233

[karmic valley]

so you guys mad that embark showed new trailer with date but you'd be happy if embark just said "lol we're releasing game in the end of october, no more new info #rekt"

[foggy mason]

ye I have a paddled controller but I also haven’t used a controller in 6 years

[ornate tapir]

you can run that experiment and imo we would've been better off

[deft obsidian]

Wasgud P

[warm kiln]

Seems like theres a lot of lag in EU today

[fast hollow]

Guys Embark didnt give me a swedish alt/goth girlfriend as part of their hype train for Arc Raiders

Im about to crashout on The Finals' review page with 10 alt accounts.

[karmic valley]

no crybabies would cry as much as they did today

[hazy hearth]

Lowkey yap. Marketing team fumbled . It’s also 2025… they could have just openly said it wasn’t gonna drop to clear up confusion at anytime

[rancid schooner]

i haven't felt any movement quirks with my pc-gyro-controller play but I do believe you it exists so i'm curious.

[elfin jewel]

h

[fast hollow]

dw Embark you still have 5 months to get me one

[rancid schooner]

are gamers crybabies? ✅
should embark have managed it better? ✅

do i love dual blades? ✅✅✅

[hazy hearth]

The mysterious developer era is over be open and transparent and let’s act like we have sense

[lilac zephyr]

Good morning 🌞

[karmic valley]

so they openly said it's going to be on 30 oct on summer game fest????
i don't understand the issue here lmao

[fast hollow]

embark quite literally not at fault

[unkempt oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-2-fact-checked-gif-11224128901468304627

[ornate tapir]

why are you even paying the fucking marketing divison then lmao, whats the point of having a team

[karmic valley]

people got hyped over "officialy on rumours" and now crying like holy shit guys you're weirdos

[fluid canopy]

the 3 yellow icons on the right turned red yesterday and never turned back anyone else having this issue?

[rancid schooner]

why have an arg, and that sgf chicken post for a trailer for a release date reveal

[viral valley]

CM, let's get some mutes on these arc raider yappers.

[elfin jewel]

bro doesn't know games take time to develop 💀

[hazy hearth]

The issue here is that they could have done crowd control way before and prevented media backlash . It’s 2+2 honestly .

[hazy hearth]

I’m not saying it’s easy. Im saying update us the same way that morning meeting is about to sound

[fast hollow]

why are you acting like several other games havent had their release date teased/released over an ARG

[viral valley]

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. THE GAME DIDN'T DROP THE DAY I WANTED IT TOO. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

[versed verge]

Who tf plays gyro??? I’m not moving my controller around to look where I’m going. And it’s mostly toggle menus, key commands & dead zones

[fast hollow]

waaaaaa no beta mention waaaaaaa give me game now

[karmic valley]

i mean i guess they didn't expect that this much of audience is 6yo mentality peeps
who would've tbh

[rancid schooner]

i have no idea if others did or didn't, i think it was still stupid and the outcry, justified or not, shows it

[dusk rover]

[fringe fractal]

sgf chicken post to confirm we get info, literally does not indicate the game wouldve dropped immediately. arg idk slightly odd decision but hey its fine they were just tryna do something fun ig

[ornate tapir]

its not about the arg, its just a way to talk about it without getting too toxic

[bitter bronze]

Ok chat you might wanna move it to #🏓┇other-games and keep a civil discussion there

[karmic valley]

civil? in gen chat?
never heard of

[nimble kelp]

lurking in this chat got me like

[fast hollow]

gyro uses the analog stick to move your camera in a 360° manner
while your controller movement is more for just flicking to whats infront of you

[fringe fractal]

hai lily

[elfin jewel]

back to the finals brainrot
nerf v9s cl40 arn winch

[ornate tapir]

KEEP THE NUMBERS AS IS

[dusk rover]

nerf pike

[rancid schooner]

anyhow, kinda sad the game drops when i'll have a ton of uni stuff to do :/

[karmic valley]

nerf mediums just because they deserved it

[rancid schooner]

i wasn't... asking you to play gyro, i was asking what this magical movement throttle that google gets no results on is.

[nimble kelp]

Wassup lily

[rancid schooner]

means yoiu can start playing after the launch bugs are ironed out, silver linings~

[vague siren]

Kinda cool it drops before Halloween pog

[bitter bronze]

Planning to soak in cold water after work

[rancid schooner]

true

[ornate tapir]

there's 0 chance they'll drop the s7 trailer today, so what are they gonna do at that festival

[nimble kelp]

Warm water is better

[fluid canopy]

y are there ppl in my practice range? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1045320198028263505/1380868399722139809/image.png?ex=68457169&is=68441fe9&hm=fb0cfc81afd78cdbafaef65964799b15bbda33148890b6c2759aa3c7112d72c1&=&width=485&height=350

[elfin jewel]

practice range was always multiplayer to save server space

[soft rain]

The practice range is online

[bitter bronze]

Too hot outside already

[ornate tapir]

practice range is quick cash but stronger opponents

[glossy rune]

Buy a large freezer, fill it with water, jump in it

[wooden sable]

whats the best AR for medium?

[whole kraken]

fcarrrr fcarrrrrr

[elfin jewel]

famas

[unreal arrow]

Cerb

[rigid siren]

why didnt discord inform me about the twitch drops from june 5th

[ornate tapir]

its only for the show thing

[rancid schooner]

Day 3: You can now customise your characters' nose hairs!!!

[soft rain]

Which drop exactly?

[dusk rover]

Either famas or fcar atm

[fluid canopy]

but u still cant color regular hair

[wooden sable]

Which one does the most damage? It feels like I often get killed by mediums who somehow are able to shoot at me for like 2 seconds and im dead lol

[elfin jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/omw-to-spread-misinformation-all-over-the-internet-gif-26525511

[rigid siren]

Broadcast Blaze Bow, Broadcast Blaze KS-23 & Broadcast Blaze Riot Shield

[ornate tapir]

that shit's old

[nimble kelp]

Sometimes i use warm water than switch to cold water honestly. Feels great doing that

[rancid schooner]

i always thought the 'connecting' to practice range was just a silly vestigal thing, it makes more sense now.

[whole kraken]

famas if u know how to play the game, fcar if you’re just starting out. technically famas does more damage and more accurate, but that burst fire is punishing sometimes. and if you getting melted you may be getting shot at by multiple enemies, try teaming on people as much as possible with your teammates they’ll get melted too

[rancid schooner]

I wonder what side CMs will take, Vaiiya or CNS

[soft rain]

We had a post on Discord here: #social-updates message
You can also follow Twitter, Insta, TikTok etc.. where it will also be announced

[fluid canopy]

I just realised that I cant see the leaderboard in practice range and thats why there are no people on it

[cedar flare]

Bruh, I was talking bout john wick or doomguys 🤣

[rigid siren]

so i went dummy mode huh oh my how sad.. thx anyway

[bitter bronze]

It's your day off Marshall

[soft rain]

Ah it happens, no worries. Hopefully you won't miss the next one

[subtle sapphire]

I hate Marshall

[cedar flare]

U hate everyone

[fringe fractal]

you also hate the finals

[soft rain]

I'm not working what do you mean

[wooden sable]

any tips on how to deal with knife throwers? They seem super strong haha

[grizzled lark]

https://tenor.com/view/the-finals-sledgehammer-heavy-sledge-hammer-gif-2580895117876822906

[rancid schooner]

they are projectiles so unpredictable strafing works better on them than many weapons (or i've just fought terrible ones)

[whole kraken]

keep your distance if you’re a medium or heavy. if you’re half hp don’t even think of engaging. and last but not least, just pray

[cedar flare]

https://tenor.com/view/russian-badger-division2-gif-patterson-fire-a-warning-shot-gif-22721331

[subtle sapphire]

I love arc raiders

[fringe fractal]

i love silksong

[ornate tapir]

if its a dash knife thrower its over for you, you'll just need to play with utility/environment

[fluid canopy]

nah just use repeater and they are deleted

[subtle sapphire]

We never got silk song

[whole kraken]

one missed knife and you can technically destroy them 100% of the time before they can destroy you

[fringe fractal]

i did in my dreams

[cedar flare]

Yeah I got cl40 for that

[rancid schooner]

if you are a medium with glitch trap dash lights don't exist. heavies just have unpredictable strafing though.

[cedar flare]

Yeah, true bout that

[ornate tapir]

next season I'm gonna become one of these pest lights, looks fun

[fringe fractal]

its only fun like half the time

[rancid schooner]

i love the cns teaser, that music slaps

does anyone else ever feel guilty inflicting their terrible light play on others when a contract requires it? xD

[wooden sable]

What are the best ways of running away? It feels like only lights have a good way to run away if need be haha

[cedar flare]

Someone gonna bring an anti pesticide gun

[chilly holly]

what is silk song?

[ornate tapir]

just use m11 lmao free kills

[rancid schooner]

this should be a sticker pack ngl 😂

[bitter bronze]

All the time

[ornate tapir]

when lights had m11 AND stun shit was absolutely crazy it was almost always a free kill

[fringe fractal]

a myth 😔

[whole kraken]

i solo q to platinum simply by doing smoke grenade + thermal vision (perhaps even goo grenade), why do people stay SLEEPING on the ninja steals in this game. mfs think they shooting in my direction but i’ll be sitting behind the cashout.

[tired epoch]

whos got early access to the trailer

[cedar flare]

None

[ornate tapir]

theyre still making it

[unkempt lake]

give me

[tired epoch]

damn😢

[whole kraken]

i rarely if ever see this combo being ran. and thermal vision in a smoke feels like a whole ultimate ability

[deft hawk]

buff zipline

[fluid canopy]

I cant tell if Im missing cuz skill issue or because of the lag anymore
I know ping doesnt matter as its judged based on whats on my screen but somehow this still causes random delays to my inputs

[ornate tapir]

people run thermal but theres a lot inherent smoke in destruction sometimes

[tired epoch]

most lights in high lobbies run thermal

[deft hawk]

thermal is SLEPT on

[fluid canopy]

I would by it

[whole kraken]

perhaps i need to get there still

[chilly holly]

using two gadget for single use is kinda make it bad for other situation so if you do good then no problem

[rancid schooner]

guides on gadgets usually seem to stress how selfish and annoying it is which surely puts folk off?

[glossy rune]

Where are Twitch drops?

[deft hawk]

im sad ospuze is losing wtf

[fluid canopy]

how its completely countered by any scanning ability and all classes have one

[ornate tapir]

ospuze lost to the worst sponsor of s4

[tired epoch]

engimo W

[deft hawk]

enigmaballs

[ornate tapir]

not just lost, not even in the same tier as the worst sponsor of s4 (which had the best ad since like vaiiya)

[whole kraken]

the pings of the scan aren’t really consistent enough to reveal your location if you keep it moving in the smoke. especially if youre a light. tracking dart is a direct counter tho

[unkempt lake]

Enigmo

[rancid schooner]

i'm surprised more players don't hate enigmo just because it's responsible for our overbearing censor xD

[scenic breach]

v9s when v7s walks in(please get my bad joke, that is all)

[steep lark]

okay real random question but has anyone else been having issues launching the game for the last 1.5 - 2 weeks?

[deft hawk]

cant even say lmao in chat

[tired epoch]

omg 7 consumed 9

[ornate tapir]

yes the game is a virus now which self replicates on every crash and wont go away until you restart

[rancid schooner]

no, that sounds infurating :<

[karmic valley]

because embark added this gimmick only couple updates ago

[deft cipher]

Embark just drop that trailer man

[deft hawk]

search up your issue in bug reports or discussion

[whole kraken]

ok that is true smokes can be very annoying and if used wrong can literally cause your whole team to be wiped. but when used right they win games.

[fringe fractal]

its been here all season wdym 😭

[fluid canopy]

ig but then there is also the strat of throwing in a nade and running

[scenic breach]

thank you i can die in peace knowing someone understood my idiotic bit

[deft hawk]

only downside is blinding your teams turrets

[steep lark]

its super random everytime
sometimes its the anti cheat saying random stuff sometimes it says its already running even tho i just started the computer

[karmic valley]

really?
i've seen it first time only like in the middle of the seasn even when i was getting censored in game chat

[ornate tapir]

I HOPE that the game is fixed by the time season launches otherwise the game stability has never been worse, performance is great though, crashed more times last week than in the last year

[fluid canopy]

what words are blocked by engimo?

[tired epoch]

lmao damn uh prob more

[fringe fractal]

like every swear known to man including stuff like damn 😭

[scenic breach]

dont tell me i have to say darn

[karmic valley]

i'm getting consistent freezes every 20-30 seconds out of blue
before last update it was fine :(

[whole kraken]

ya shit happens. but no longer worrying about any fire damage + extinguishing goo on fire (defensive) + being able to hide gas grenades (silent killer).. so many pros to it bro

[ornate tapir]

its been widely replicated including a lot of streamers

[fluid canopy]

but where does it say anything about engimo? it just turns into stars

[rancid schooner]

ah, the anticheat does seem to leave multiple copies when it triggers so you're getting a positive from something on your PC, i just went through that infuriating problem and ended up having to create a whole separate windows partition for it. edit: i simply never could find the culprit, and didn't want my steam account to get a black mark.

[sly tide]

Pretty sure they said that they were reworking the profanity filter so that things like lmao won't be blocked

[fringe fractal]

yeah hopefully its all here for the start of s7

[fluid canopy]

yeah smoke is good Im talking only about smoke+thermal

[ornate tapir]

hopefully the number changing option is NOT here

[wooden sable]

is there anyway to talk to enemy teams? I feel like sometimes my team gets attacked by the other losing team and im just like "Dude! They are literally opening their second money box. Go get them instead"

[nimble kelp]

Dance

[whole kraken]

i mean when thermal isn’t used right then it’s perhaps the worst gadget in the game ahahah so yea fair

[scenic breach]

or prox sensor

[glossy rose]

smoke is good ngl

[stark stream]

This post was made by a light main with thermal vision

[rancid schooner]

i use smoke when trying not to die on powershift platforms, thats the one place i know it's more good than harm. xD

[steep lark]

theyre using (afaik) easy anticheat which has nothing to do with steam

[fluid canopy]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1045320198028263505/1380873155266088990/image.png?ex=684575d7&is=68442457&hm=83d33924805fd325e158fcacbaeb742e3a3409e2063dc0f4fa2fb42a8ea677c9&=&width=550&height=66

tf embark? why does it only get stared when I swear in english but completely removed in polish

[scenic breach]

people just see through mine unless i fill half the room so its just agh

[glossy rose]

light main that focus on objectives and revivng

[rancid schooner]

[steep lark]

[ornate tapir]

do you do this for every season mlao, do you actually like the thing or youre just completionist

[scenic breach]

so based, me too

[rancid schooner]

do what?

[stark stream]

lol that's fine, I'm just joking that If I ran smokes as a medium, there's a chance that I'm helping the light on the other team by accident

[rancid schooner]

I know, but i saw steam people saying it shows up on your account if you get banned by them, which i care more abou t than the finals itself. Not true?

[whole kraken]

yea sometimes i’ll run goo grenades too so then you don’t necessarily have to be hidden by the smoke from every direction. and the smoke will keep the goo alive as long as you need it.

[glossy rose]

sadly on medium, i value jumppad and defib. last spot gotta be damage item to me

[scenic breach]

true, useless against grenade launchers tho

[ornate tapir]

I dont even know I assume thats the last bp item? I rage uninstalled the game 3 days ago after it crashed 5 times in an hour, gonna wait until next season so I cant check

[wooden sable]

What are the best ways to level up quick? Only started this season like yesterday lol

[rancid schooner]

glitch for life, i'm afraid of the dash-light plague :<

[fluid canopy]

do u think I can go from gold 4 to emerald 3 by the end of this day?

[fringe fractal]

do all the contracts 😔

[steep lark]

pretty sure thats impossible cuz its different companies but either way i wouldnt risk getting banned on the game

[wooden sable]

No.... not the 200 headshots 😭

[glossy rose]

no wrong in that, i recently went into explosive mines

[fringe fractal]

ofc you dont have to do all of them, just do the manageable ones

[rancid schooner]

im sorry to hear that

[rancid schooner]

it was upsetting to have to create a whole install to not risk it but i'm glad to read that anyway.

[scenic breach]

im a hard mobility main on anything but heavy, so i run grapple usually on light or zip-jump-defib on medium

[whole kraken]

if i can’t eliminate the noob tube medium as a light before it becomes problematic, then i have failed my kind.

[fluid canopy]

how do you crash so much? I crash like once per season

[scenic breach]

i just meant because it gets rid of smoke

[ornate tapir]

I literally never crashed before this week, I crashed like 2-3 times ever since OB

[whole kraken]

oh right ahahah yea true

[steep lark]

yip yip

[wooden sable]

How do you properly use zip and jump as a mid? I now know to like slide into a jump to get lots of movement but struggling with how to use a zip

[fluid canopy]

and Im on arch so in theory I should be crashing more

[celest totem]

Yapp YAPP goodmorning

[whole kraken]

you playing anti cheat games on linux?? is it easier these days?

[rancid schooner]

i like to zip to getaway (while jumping on the line to not get killed) over pad because i can quick melee it to prevent being followed.

[ornate tapir]

the game straight up wont launch like that guy said

[wooden sable]

which weapon is the noob tube for medium? Is it the insta explode granade launcher thing?

[cedar flare]

Just got another nolife db player

[fluid canopy]

anyhting without ac is palyable withotu any tinkering most of the time
and some games liek the finals have linux friendly anti cheats

[cedar flare]

The cl40, yes

[wooden sable]

Is that granade launcher for medium actually good? I bought it like instantly because I like explosions but unsure if its actually good or just fun to use

[ornate tapir]

there are no noob tube weapons

[celest totem]

Took some practice but absolutely fun

[scenic breach]

pretty much the same, use zip to get momentum or cover long distances, use jump pad to cover verticality or angle it on goo to go decently far

[cedar flare]

Trust me it's fun, and very good against dash lights

[scenic breach]

except the melees, unless the self-damage was reduced again

[rancid schooner]

it's either overbearing or subpar depending on who you ask, but either way it's nice for being differnet and a change of pace vs AR/shotgun.

[whole kraken]

ohhhh w, i’ve been rly eyeing up going all in on linux ever since bazzite, now steam os coming out, plus i loved my time on fedora. windows /microsoft bs is getting so old

nah self damage was increased actually

[deft hawk]

when a teamate leaves and u get to second round, it sucks to be in pain

[scenic breach]

[rare vigil]

That’s what they say

[karmic valley]

just dont shoot yourself it's not that hard

[foggy mason]

Crazy comms

[hollow sky]

I thought this works nvm

[scenic breach]

oh i dont run it i hate it more for the rpg bc funny

[foggy mason]

/block @bitter bronze

[ornate tapir]

oh yea I forgot you can disable GIFs nevermind problem solved

[scenic breach]

give light a single shot grenade launcher(please dont)

[foggy mason]

give light

[wooden sable]

Give heavy a movement based weapon (rocket jumping)

[scenic breach]

give heavy a gundam

[foggy mason]

Heavy does not need movement that can be used on a whim

[rare vigil]

Just play with a medium

[whole kraken]

it’s good, but i’d say it’s somewhat one of the hardest weapons to play with. the playstyle is completely different to guns if you don’t wanna just be a liability. the fact you can easily game end yourself doesn’t help. but still easier than medium melee

[fluid canopy]

Ive been on linux for the past 2/3 (I dont remember which one) so if you need any advice hit me up

[scenic breach]

it would never happen but part of me honestly wants a titan for heavy PLEASE

[foggy mason]

Does linux turn you into a femboy

[fluid canopy]

yes or a furry you can choose in the application form

[hollow sky]

What kinda titan

[rare vigil]

I really hope so

[wooden sable]

depends on which distro

[whole kraken]

thanks fam i may perhaps at some point !!

[scenic breach]

ughhh medium melee makes me just crave death

also @hollow sky titanfall titan

[wooden sable]

Hmm whats the most hated build that still does good? Like what does the community find annoying?

[whole kraken]

i think the most hated build ever was light swords when it was at its prime

[scenic breach]

for what class?

[hollow sky]

The finals has no cars, why

[arctic quartz]

in my case no

[wooden sable]

class independent. I just wanna know which one is disliked the most I guess

[fierce venture]

Cerberus

[scenic breach]

i dont remember which fuckin youtuber got it nerfed but im still livid, it was fine other than the phantom strikes and the like, yk the stuff that wasnt meant to be there anyway

[arctic quartz]

anything on light
fuck lights

[unkempt lake]

Embark Studios

[rancid schooner]

Sniper, surely. You don't want to be gibbed by them and you don't want them on your team. (with a few remarkable exceptions)

[whole kraken]

yea hahaha i remember watching the sword tech videos 😭

[fierce venture]

Add 1 more shell for Cerberus. Make 4 shots and reduce reload time by 1 second. Also make burn damage x2. This will make Cerberus playable and balanced

[scenic breach]

man i want goo ships back

[hollow sky]

Yeah that’s a good point, snipers are useless for the most part, let’s delete dagger

[foggy mason]

#👂┇game-feedback

[rancid schooner]

appoh brigaded it if that's what you mean

[scenic breach]

i will actually just kill you

[wooden sable]

I guess what I more meant was which one is percieved as the most annoying or hardest to combat? Totally not trying to copy annoying builds no no

[whole kraken]

noooo leave dagger, but ranked dagger is literally just trolling like there’s no serious ranked dagger players in the milky way

[rancid schooner]

are ranked daggers rarer than ranked MGLs? edit: survey by emote responses is inconclusive xD

[hollow sky]

Maybe you’d find them in the oily way

[hollow sky]

Can we get an amen

[whole kraken]

i apologise to my teams in the few ranked games i’ve played with dagger after a big loss streak and just doing it out of spite 💔

[wooden sable]

How long would it take to unlock all equipment? Is there some sort of hour estimate?

[fluid canopy]

I heard ppl complaining its too op it was ass when I played it but I assuemd its a skill issue is it not?

[hollow sky]

7 days

[fierce venture]

Guys, when playing ranked yesterday I accidentally chose CL40. I never used it even once before but somehow I did better than when I was sweating and using my main.

[zenith tusk]

anyone wants to play silver ranked? 😄

[ornate tapir]

somebody else send a GIF

[wooden sable]

168 hours? Dang okay. Long way to go haha

[foggy mason]

It is op and yes skill issue

[fierce venture]

Yeah cerb is too weak, buff it and make the range better

[nimble kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/jelly-jelly-hoshiumi-vtuber-happy-phase-connect-gif-12055111260135131946

nice it works

[hollow sky]

[covert barn]

Stuck on "connecting.." screen. Any solution?

[fierce venture]

Disconnect

[whole kraken]

cerb is one of the coolest guns tho, love the design. can’t imagine it’s based on a real weapon though right??

[karmic valley]

it was really annoying for the entire season tbh
it got tuned down now a bit so it seems way more balanced

[nimble kelp]

i did not fucking read that message holy shit

[hollow sky]

Yeah I mean you will only buy the things you need not all of them unless you want to try everything

[ornate tapir]

yea they need to let people just play and reduce the unlock time

[tulip locust]

why do i get -700 points at ranked when 2 of my team mates dc'ed ffs

[zenith tusk]

really? i think its not that good.... i guess im a noob 😄

[karmic valley]

because don't play with randoms

[covert barn]

what kind of solution is this?

[wooden sable]

I do I do! haha

[deft hawk]

smoke+sword thermal is the best

[whole kraken]

if i got shot by a cerb irl i wouldn’t even be mad id just be in awe

[eternal mountain]

Is s7 out yet? Please end this mid season

[whole kraken]

i gotta look ts up

[wooden sable]

why is it mid? Have you tried that fun game mode where everyone is heavy and you bonk eachother with a sledge hammer haha

[rancid schooner]

it's unforgiving of misses because of the reload, so i guess the people who think it's OP don't miss. (edit: i know it's op don't lynch me)

[zenith tusk]

probably ahahahha (im not one of those)

[foggy mason]

ur getting killed bud

[rancid schooner]

i actually do better with the model than the cerb, life is strange. (that doesn't mean model is better, don't lynch me dangit)

[ornate tapir]

cause it doesnt have a map and the theme is some amerifat disconnected bullshit, the smash melee mode was the best thing in the season by far and by far the least stable week of any season ever

[foggy mason]

Mpreg for you

[nimble kelp]

the theme is sports. same as S4

[whole kraken]

it’s not, but model kills feel rewarding.

[ornate tapir]

S4 was IIIIIIITSSSS SHOOOOWWWTTIIIIMEEE

[zenith tusk]

its funny how opinions differ so much, smass melee are the only contracts i wont complete xD

[nimble kelp]

you just want your asian robot Vaiiya GF dont you?

[foggy mason]

Dogshit theme

[elfin jewel]

this season got the fish

[hollow sky]

Embork add mini map next season 🙏

[nimble kelp]

thats a title not a theme

[ornate tapir]

I mean it wasnt like actually good long term thing but it was a nice change of pace, definitely something interesting

[rancid schooner]

model is more forgiving because of those extra shots, or at least feels that way to me. Also it seems relatively good when desperately firing as each shell reloads while under pressure?

[wooden sable]

mini map equipment thooo

[whole kraken]

mini map watches

[eternal mountain]

I literally just want my robot mommy as soon as possible

[nimble kelp]

EEEEEEMBAAAAAAARK, GIVE ME MY PET ROCK. AND I WILL DIE FOR THIS GAME

[zenith tusk]

yeah, it was fresh idea, but i dont play heavy so not for me! 😄

[supple stream]

game director told in a livestream once thats it about celebrating high peformance players in high stakes sports/competition

[hollow sky]

Who’s gonna be the underdog sponsor nxt season

[rancid schooner]

that arch concept is not conveyed by the season content :<

[ornate tapir]

s4 introduced the sponsor system itself and people were so into it cause they didnt know that other people will be able to get their shit either, the trailer was great, the season had the best player retention by far, and the theme was not literally sports, the main mask guy was some french thing holding akimbo .50s, it was cool as shit compared to literally some rughby thing and some hockey shit and s4 had a great map and s4 was closer to s2 than a sports season, there were some middle sports cosmetics but it wasnt a primary theme

[zenith tusk]

its funnier without minimap, it just requieres a little game sense, how do you implement all height levels on mini map?

[wooden sable]

Are there any fears that arc welders would take away work or effort from this game?

[fluid canopy]

hydroq

[nimble kelp]

So its sports

[whole kraken]

i wouldn’t be mad about an rc car gadget thoooo embark

[supple stream]

yeah, no idea where that went this season. some BP items does share a bit of that, but dunno

[hollow sky]

Floor maps or heat maps

[zenith tusk]

wooow nice idea!! it would be really nice

[scenic breach]

arc raiders, and iirc they have 2 separate teams for them and one that works on both

[spark lantern]

what's the fastest way to level up weapons?

[foggy mason]

s4 has been the best season since s2
s7 hopefully will relive s2/4 success

[zenith tusk]

this is my first season, can you explain why??

[wooden sable]

Is there any info on how successful this game is? Ive read that they had plans up until season 8 or something? Any info on plans beyond it?

[hollow sky]

Hop on the finals

[whole kraken]

ahaha it would be funny. idk how well it would work

[spark lantern]

XP is determined on how much bullets you shoot?

[scenic breach]

s5 was great, especially the stupidly OP invis weeks

[ornate tapir]

the team cares about the game and the studio will die before the game does imo and they have enough money to keep going for a long time, the decisionmaking can be bad at times though

[deft obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-frieza-clashes-dragon-ball-z-dbz-gif-17533107

[eternal mountain]

S5 was amazing

[nimble kelp]

No.its both kills and how you interact with it to the enviroment

[spark lantern]

gotcha thanks.

[cedar flare]

Throwing knives 😞

[nimble kelp]

Honestly the best thing about S6 is the music

[scenic breach]

cough cough ranked terminal attack cough cough..

[subtle sapphire]

You guys are stinky

[foggy mason]

s1 made and broke the game (popular success, nukes killed player retention)
s2 was great but a little unbalanced much better than s1
s3 fucked us with the replacement of the ranked gamemode with ta + super long and dry season
s4 was a little bit of a redemption with a decent theme good map but it was super medium meta with the introduction of the pike
s5 had barely any theme and the map was painfully mid
s6 was lackluster without a map and the only good event happened at the end (heavy hitters ltm)

[ornate tapir]

sweden has mandatory vacations which is why this arc shit happened right at the same time

[spark lantern]

why is it that a lot of light players I play with just keep running to the cash box solo style and then immediately dying. Like so many of them have main characters syndrome

[nimble kelp]

Like out of all the newer seasons s6 is for me the best ones. Music wise

[scenic breach]

you chose iseult i dont wanna hear it from you

[wheat cargo]

Speak for yourself, Bernal is peak

[foggy mason]

Because that’s the most appealing playstyle to casuals

[zenith tusk]

oh i seee, thanks for the answer! 😄

[whole kraken]

you ever felt the rush of running with the cashbox and being shot at and dodging every bullet

[hollow sky]

Bernal is the best new map

[ornate tapir]

bernal is the worst map now that koyto has mostly been fixed, snow kyoto was already better

[wheat cargo]

and if you cannot see how big S6 was... well

[spark lantern]

I guess dying is really appealing nowadays LOL

[wooden sable]

What are some ways to make friends on this game/proper communicating teams. I think at most when it comes to communication Ive dealt with so far is the uhh pinging of objectives and one danish kid talking during a heavy hitters game lol

[deft hawk]

thats kyoto

[supple stream]

i love bernal man

[wheat cargo]

can you talk normally?

[zenith tusk]

its one of my favourites without doubt, i hate kioto, is beautiful but i dont play it good 😄

[spark lantern]

It's kind of hard for them to feel anything since they're dead all the time

[foggy mason]

i think your take is bad

[deft hawk]

just talk in voice, and be approachable

[ornate tapir]

bernal is flat as shit, almost no verticality and horrible aesthetics, its closer to a cod map than a finals map and only bearable if youre light with dash

[karmic valley]

invis+db i guess

[hollow sky]

Yeah exactly kyoto is trash

[wheat cargo]

fair enough, but the rest of the language was uncalled for

[scenic breach]

gentlemen, bernal sucks, suspended structure bernal is peak, i want more maps with structures like that

[zenith tusk]

thats my main ahahahah i guess thats why i love it

[eternal mountain]

Delete Kyoto and low gravity and I’ll already be happy enough

[whole kraken]

they’ll do it once and then think they’re fkn neo and try to do it again and again lol

[hollow sky]

Let’s crucify this bernal hater

[wheat cargo]

They have teased the new map yes

[spark lantern]

I think from now on I'm going to believe all light players are just secretly masochist now lmao

[ebon bluff]

#game-announcements

they said there is, so i really hope so

[wheat cargo]

its in the back of the banner on socials

[zenith tusk]

[wooden sable]

If I understand the in game currency is buying one battlepass enough to earn currency to buy future battlepasses?

[nimble kelp]

Yes

[eternal mountain]

As a replacement for Kyoto I beg

[nimble kelp]

Nah i want kyoto

[zenith tusk]

they should implement map banning, so u can ban 2 or 3 mapsa

[eternal mountain]

vro that map is a disgrace to mankind

[whole kraken]

the psychology of a persons main class choice..

[spark lantern]

I freaking hate the desert level on Vegas

[scenic breach]

am i just insane for liking kyoto? like the water slowing you made it feel so much more dynamic than half of the other maps(plus its fun to break the tower)

[nimble kelp]

I kinda stop complaining and just adapted to it

[ebon bluff]

yes

[wooden sable]

Is kyoto the cool japanese one with water and hiding under buildings?

[zenith tusk]

i thought the same first few times, then its not that bad 😄

[spark lantern]

what do you think of a heavy main psychology is?

[rancid schooner]

yes, but at high level it seems to be more about rooftop shenanigans than the cool basements.

[scenic breach]

tbf i dont have to deal with most of that on xbox, there were some problems awhile ago but its mostly fixed by now

[karmic valley]

double barrel on light

[whole kraken]

idk they be lowkey meditative people and/or insane

[spark lantern]

I still hate it lol. I just started playing this game on season 6 and made my way up to diamond one just to make my multi bucks lol

[zenith tusk]

lazy no aim probably console? 😛

[wooden sable]

Makes me think of one map from uhh that gamemode where you ride on this thing? and it moves one direction and if the enemy team rides it, it goes the other way. Anyway theres this one map with like tons of tall buildings and constantly 2-3 snipers lol

[dull sentinel]

bum bum run away ive got to

[ebon bluff]

250 multibucks woo

[sage cloak]

When does the next daily reveal happen?

[spark lantern]

you got me lol. I only play medium and heavy

[scenic breach]

you realize the power shift maps are the exact same as the cashout maps right

[dull sentinel]

That thing, hand it over... your dark soul

[wooden sable]

No... no I did not haha

[zenith tusk]

i only play light sometimes medium, i prefer the speed intead of more health given the game mechanics

[spark lantern]

yuuuup. Made my way up as a heavy pyro build and a spear

[ornate tapir]

for me OB, s2 and s4 were good ones then s1 then the rest, s3's only problem was the whole ranked thing otherwise it was vastly better than 5 and 6 but that was a big problem

[scenic breach]

lmao all good, same things
dont touch terminale attack and you'll be okay

https://tenor.com/view/hand-it-over-give-it-to-me-hand-it-to-me-that-thing-your-dark-soul-souls3-gif-18302331

[rancid schooner]

they feel different enough in how they play in powershift that it took me a little while to realise they were the same :<

[eternal mountain]

I despise how terribly optimised it is while constantly playing with fps drops, especially during any form of destruction or crowded areas. I’d care about the aesthetics of the map but that’s the least of priority in a shooter game

[wooden sable]

Well if they are the same maps then the dynamic of power shift really changes the meta. Rarely have I seen so many snipers

[ebon bluff]

don't like the hammer?

[prisma nexus]

fuck microsoft clipchamp

[rancid schooner]

The snipers have a lot of fish on that barrel.

[ornate tapir]

youre the only person in the world who knows what that is

[misty ice]

guys I dont know why my fps are constantly so bad

[whole kraken]

i only fw movie maker to this day

[ebon bluff]

clipchamp fixed that for you

[compact jewel]

it slaps

[prisma nexus]

it exported the whole clip without applying edits 😭 (full duration)

[spark lantern]

I just can't stand playing light for myself. Was never a big fan of it, unless I can attembo to smg's or whatever class allows that

[scenic breach]

giving grapple 2 charges would make me a menace in power shift ngl

[compact jewel]

clipchimp skill issue

[zenith tusk]

i love playing sneaky 😄

[wooden sable]

What are nukes? I heard some of you talking about it and read in the reddit as well. Did heavies used to have nuclear bombs?

[spark lantern]

I really dislike the hammer, and I hate how there's very little skins for this spear but the hammer is like The Golden child and gets all the love. I want a scythe skin for the spear

[prisma nexus]

THE FUCKING AUDIO IS GONE NOW

[ornate tapir]

in a way they did just waste 2 seasons after s4 lmao, I've never really been hyped since s4 just waiting for the next thing around the corner, s7 does seem to be that thing

[golden oracle]

can you make every sound into RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?!

[whole kraken]

we need to go back to silent movies

[scenic breach]

you used to be able to attach c4 and mines to red canisters and we called them nukes cus you could just wipe a full team with one

[compact jewel]

clipchamp is really good for what it offers as a free program, i remember having to pirate sony vegas and that shit was always filled with malware

[rancid schooner]

it was putting a bunch of explosives on a barrel then throwing it. but now barrels don't throw very well with stuff attached

[ebon bluff]

my friend is a hammer main, they dislike that they have to buy every single hammer skin

[deft hawk]

officer he's right here

[wooden sable]

That sounds fun! They should bring this back as a gamemode. Where its just tons of barrels and you can only have explosives on you

[spark lantern]

at least he gets a skin. I get nothing at all

[rancid schooner]

haha as a limited time event maybe they would be fun instead of awful, yeah.

[deft hawk]

no servers are also bad, possibly never been worse, people are vibrating who have never vibrated before

[scenic breach]

balancing the destruction and chaos that make the finals so great and performance cant be easy

[supple stream]

everyone was jiggling and stuttering all over the place, you can't even shoot at someone. its unplayable.
last game at night my gun was taking almost 2 secs to shoot

[ornate tapir]

theres no reason to use auto

[cedar flare]

Fastest match ever

[ornate tapir]

same and this has almost never happened before lmao, shit's crazy this is all happening right before the major

[fluid canopy]

for some reason auto works better for me than the one actually close to me

[rancid schooner]

for oce it's easy because the difference between local and next nearest is huge so you know what auto will pick, but idk for elsewhere

[wooden sable]

Is this just a US issue? I play on European servers and have had no connectivity issues for hours of playing

[ornate tapir]

imo thats placebo

[nimble kelp]

It still kinda works today. but more as traps

[deft hawk]

there is when i play at 3 am local

[eternal mountain]

I get that but that’s almost the entire premise of the game and struggling with it as if the game is still in a alpha stage 7 seasons in is just not an excuse anymore lol, the devs knew what’s been going on

[fluid canopy]

Im EU and its laggy af

[bitter bronze]

Can you please drop a screenshot with the match ID visible here: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1331213241912918018, also let us know what server you are on?

[rancid schooner]

or maybe the server you think is closest isn't? (or has bad ... uh... routing or whatever that magic is called)

[bitter bronze]

This is for everyone having issues, we'll greatly appreciate it

[nimble kelp]

the greatest challenge to the finals are servers honestly

[scenic breach]

krill issue

also hii lily

[wooden sable]

Well I am close to Sweden. Embark is a swedish company right? haha

[supple stream]

i was indeed playing on NA, no idea about other regions

[nimble kelp]

like isnt arc raiders performance alot more consistent than the finals?

[rancid schooner]

then i am lost and confused that auto would do different than simply picking EU edit: and suspect it's placebo, indeed.

[ornate tapir]

I've seen a swedish streamer yesterday vibrate for a full match

[rough orbit]

It’s perfect🥹

[nimble kelp]

with hit reg generally being better?

[wooden sable]

This just makes me imagine a person standing in their room vibrating and people just watching that

[eternal mountain]

Years later? This game has had more than enough time to stress-test while marketing the entire premise of the game around the destruction, as challenging as it may be, they have an entire team that consistently works on it and the still-happening horrendous server performance just doesn’t feel excusable

[scenic breach]

arc doesnt have to constantly update the physics and destruction and shit

[nimble kelp]

this can mean alot of ways

[ornate tapir]

really sometimes it feels like the game is being sabotaged

[supple stream]

i think i do have a screenshot of the end game result yeah, i will post that later on
i was playing on NA

[eternal mountain]

Exactly, it doesn’t seem possible that it can remain this shit even after all these seasons, it almost feels intentional at this point

[ornate tapir]

I've had this feeling for a long time that EA sent some people to sabotage the studio

[fluid canopy]

no arc had all the signature embark right side icons too

[nimble kelp]

honestly the only thing we dont know is whats the reality is at embark. your right, but im curious on how and why it takes so long to improve the servers

[nimble kelp]

legitimately tho i still find embark to be one of the better game developers out there currently

[spark lantern]

I just made two teams rage quit in quick cash........ What the hell is this match making ....

[wooden sable]

light with knives and invis/double dash?

[compact jewel]

we got a spot for you in the upcoming tournament

[nimble kelp]

sometimes i miss the jorkinal convos

[spark lantern]

nah, it's my heavy pyro build. Went 16 and 1

[eternal mountain]

I agree, but I still genuinely don’t believe this game is anywhere close to “esports ready” lol, the coming 4 months won’t change too drastically either I feel

[spark lantern]

wahhhh?

[compact jewel]

we still dont know everything that s7 will bring to the table

[rancid schooner]

tell me your secrets, i want to do better with flamethrower for maps with too much roof action to stay MGL

[nimble kelp]

lets just wait and see honestly, and its technically a goal for embark so theres a possibility that it is High on the priorities for this game

[supple stream]

the finals is built on some wizardry/black magic stuff, its kinda impressive how they managed to pull it off
no wonder optimization its challenging when the tech is this unique. i think its taking this long because the team is small

[rancid schooner]

... not that flamethrower is probably any better on roofs of all things derp

[ornate tapir]

the game used to run better thats the problem thats why people say sabotage, and it almost got too bad recently, sometimes wont even launch and stay as a background process which wont go away

[spark lantern]

the thing about the heavy is that you can do combos with them , this game rewards experimentation and since I do a little bit of game devving and try to break games as much as possible I found some cool stuff with flamethrower. I think a lot of people don't realize but the chargeability combos into a lot of tech . I hope they don't nerf charge if thar ever gets picked up, I can't stand it whenever I got good at something things will get nerffed because then it gets picked up later

[fierce venture]

Guys, I have never seen a single the finals advertisement in my entire life

[wooden sable]

I think I saw some around the beta era? Thats how I first learnt of it

[nimble kelp]

they said it themselves that the whole idea for the finals is a real technical challenge that they want to overcome. and its not that the team is small, they gotten larger now, but theres like a separation of workload like theres some of the devs are working on both the finals and arc raiders, and some aspects of game development are being put into arc more than the finals, and some the other way around

[rancid schooner]

i only know about it from youtube videos saying it's dying and it shouldn't be, like jack slather's edit: ty blessed google algorithm

[ornate tapir]

that guy's the reason the entire UI changed lmao

[eternal mountain]

Server performance and upgrades are near-constant in live service games detached from the actual client updates or season changes in the game. I’m just hoping they have more server-sided updates planned alongside purely just new content or new season

[nimble kelp]

and theyre doing it in unreal engine and not frostbite is also marvel since frostbite was built to support battlefield bad company at the start which then gradually transitioned to be use for other games

[supple stream]

yeah, i used to run this game A LOT better before 3.14
that update pretty much killed the performance for me, lowering res or graphics changes absolutely nothing too. which didn't used to happen before.
stretched used to give me a huge perf boost

[paper arch]

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS TO LAUCH HIS GAME 2 TIMES FOR IT TO FINALLY OPEN

[rancid schooner]

do tell

[eternal mountain]

🤞

[hearty stone]

are we gon see a trailer of s7 today?

[compact jewel]

i wish we had S1 performance

[cedar flare]

Yeah I guess

[nimble kelp]

i wish this game has war thunders level of performance

[ornate tapir]

I mean performance isnt bad anymore for me, its the stability, its never been worse

[hearty stone]

i wish i had a baddie

[subtle sapphire]

i wish the finals had no performance i want my fps in single numbers

[ornate tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxtnoNshZEo best trailer since CB

[scenic breach]

cant wait to make a femboy with that lmfao

[nimble kelp]

open beta and S1 was really dope tho

[hearty stone]

its gonna be a goonin season boys

[ornate tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYQLw2b__qA this is the other S tier trailer, this really cannot be matched, this is the trailer of the decade maybe atleast in the genre

[craggy remnant]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVdKBnmvOLE

nuh uh

[wooden sable]

which of the 20 bucks skin pack + ingame currency packs do yall like the most?

[nimble kelp]

S2 and S3 are more informative, S4 is more grandure like S1 and OB, S5 is basically also celebrating 1 year of the finals, S6 was divided since its there to build hype for a new season

[compact jewel]

pirate

[analog drift]

Metro drifter

[nimble kelp]

Pirate and Astronaut

[compact jewel]

pirate enables so many meme drip options

[wooden sable]

what about the wavereaver set?

[nimble kelp]

https://youtu.be/D_-sYUHyhAw?si=_xxlJtZexQxDBbCV

[scenic breach]

pirate is worth it for the six-shooter alone

[fierce venture]

I first learnt about it because a someone in a group chat talked about it when the game just released. I never wanted to try until like 20 days ago and now I’m adicted

[craggy remnant]

can we just say that all the finals trailer is goat (except ss3)

[wooden sable]

any examples?

[nimble kelp]

yeah. honestly the best trailer for S6 is either the TDM one or the Teaser weirdly enough

[ornate tapir]

doesnt flow as well and its just an overview of the season imo, the actual season was S tier though

[compact jewel]

chrome hobo from the gif i just posted

[nimble kelp]

its a different type of trailer. leaning more into it being informative than cinematic

[ornate tapir]

s4 has those sponsor cuts which are just excellent cinematography

[nimble kelp]

yeah

[astral sequoia]

bank it fr was goated

[ornate tapir]

they need to bring back the sponsor cuts

[fluid canopy]

why are my teammates health bars colorufl 😭

[scenic breach]

miss bank it, wouldve rather they got rid of TA than bank it

[nimble kelp]

S4 is dope. but honestly. The Pre-Alpha trailer for the finals is the goat https://youtu.be/X84w4DWEEes

[ornate tapir]

sponsors should've always been the main thing nobody cares about mexico and rughby

people should be ride or die for their sponsor, they should up the fomo for the sponsor cosmetics as much as they can, it's what gives the game character, thats the entire point of the game, diluting the sponsor system was almost as bad as the s3 debale for me personally

[nimble kelp]

we have a sponsor trailer in S6 honestly. S5 was more celebration for 1 year when it comes to how it flows

[wooden sable]

Are you able to switch sponsors between seasons?

[nimble kelp]

https://youtu.be/dRqCYV3ltB4?si=R5jYFMrUsCzw533u Goated song btw

me after seeing the s7 robot lady

[novel bear]

what does this mean

[spark lantern]

the fact that my position is in 5,000 area for the leaderboard on quick Cash is bizarre .

[ornate tapir]

the third sponsor is gonna be new?

[worn ferry]

Pure tragedy is what it means

[scenic breach]

people are speculating hydra-q or far less likely, volpe

[ornate tapir]

nobody serious plays quick cash

[worn ferry]

Mf Hydra_Q

[nimble kelp]

usually every 3rd sponsor is new. 2 are recognizeable or are already estabilished in the finals

[spark lantern]

that is very true, I've noticed that lol

[analog drift]

There might not be a third sponsor

[crude ocean]

I wanna go home so bad

[wary mirage]

the third sponsor will be eliminated

[worn ferry]

Why would they only do two sponsors

[rancid schooner]

define serious? nolifing it like a job and trying hard to be better doesn't count? gamer standards :p

[spark lantern]

but what if there is a fourth sponsor 🤔

[nimble kelp]

theming

[heady pilot]

THIRD SPONSOR IS HYDRO

[green cove]

what happens if every fucking sponsor joined in and we really get the taste of sponsor rivalry
s7 is titled the split anyway

[worn ferry]

Have they done that in the past?

[scenic breach]

eh not really, everyone knew dissun, iseult, and vaiiya, also everyone know iseult, holtow, and engimo, only really new sponsors were alfa acta and now prolly hydra-q

[nimble kelp]

no. i doubt itll be 2 sponsors since they said Hydra Q will still be in the game

[analog drift]

I'm signing with scotty and june then

[eternal mountain]

Vaiiya forever has my soul

[green cove]

but damn how did my man get up there
🤣

[fluid canopy]

s6 they used ospuze, cns is next so they are out of the really hyped sponsors maybe we get that s8

[nimble kelp]

its more like some of them are not too estabilished int he lore yet. im mistaken a bit too. but 2 is usually an estabilished one and one that is a bit more estabilished but with minimal lore and no ads. 1 is new or just an obscure one

[worn ferry]

We as one

[rancid schooner]

dangit i will be forever curious about this 'jack slather changed the whole ui' tidbit ;_;

[green cove]

i'm more interested in the round robot thingy over there
i think i can create more cursed stuff from that

[ornate tapir]

I've only chosen iseult (cause of neo anonymous aesthetics) and engimo (best ad of the season) yet

[worn ferry]

Literally Alfa acta

[nimble kelp]

why does when he replaces the balls he sounds like hes sniffing it

[lean hazel]

Wat

[worn ferry]

He's screwing them back on and polishing them

[ornate tapir]

you dont want people caring about their sponsor?

[lean hazel]

Why increase the fomo tho?

[nimble kelp]

Psychologic manipulation

[eternal mountain]

Oddly enough, I agree with this

[ornate tapir]

cause thats the only way people will care what else will you get out of it, the reason why it was so good in s4 cause they didnt know, now they know

[grave hazel]

Embark got a problem with marketing, 4 days left and what they tell us that we can put a sticker in the cashout wow

[rancid schooner]

what do you mean?

[worn ferry]

We already do. You miss out on the new seasons cosmetic if you didn't sign last season the sponsor was on
(Engimo sniper rifle)

[rancid schooner]

are people thinking the robot lady is a track 2 reward?

[hushed swallow]

Need 2 people for Gold rank

[nimble kelp]

usually the outfits in the front cover of a season are last

[eternal mountain]

They should remove every sponsor other than my Vaiiya robot mommy

[rancid schooner]

iseult and engimo got some mid gear no way they're putting that as exclusive to s5 vaiiya signees

[grave hazel]

dm me

[lone forum]

how do you deal with people sitting on a corner w dagger

[worn ferry]

They're the next Valkarias

[ornate tapir]

yea but the game will just keep going and everybody will get everything theres no point, this is one place where recycling the shit will just kill the appeal, unless they dont really care about this stuff as much as they should and they think its some silly little badge next to WT and whatever

[nimble kelp]

didnt we like shit on fucking Iseul-ts and glazed our sponsors back in S4 and S5 and even know

[white idol]

The sponsor gear is going to absolutely make us look like soldiers on both sides ong

@bitter bronze why the slowmode on 30 seconds put it 15

ask your heavy teammate to blow the wall then go backstab while they look at the new hole? (edit: or your local demat ofc)

[deft hawk]

but cns loves u

[flat flicker]

welp they backed down and said that they are sorry for misleading, this is... unusual? good move tbh

[worn ferry]

If they want us to care more about our sponsors they could include them in better. Not make ppl sad that they miss out on more shit

[rancid schooner]

I wish we get a cns emote here

nah imma just force one of my friends to play heavy kek

[ornate tapir]

so that would happen when the sponsor is winning on that map on that day?

[nimble kelp]

Theres splitgate, theres call of duty, battlefield, fortnite, fornite, fortnire, put that dollar bill and go night night

[worn ferry]

Next season they should up the sponsor map detail.

[ornate tapir]

spligate and battlefield are dead tho

[lone forum]

hows splitgate 2 I've yet to play it

[nimble kelp]

Next season should add bathrooms to all of the maps

[nimble kelp]

Fuck you mean battlefield is dead, 5 is thriving. 4 is alive. 1 is alive. Splitgate 2 exist

[worn ferry]

They could add sponsor winner only emblems with the sponsor logo

[ornate tapir]

I can see the future

[nimble kelp]

the movement is actually dope since you can keep alot of the momentum

[ornate tapir]

next battlefield wont even have classes lmao, its literally gonna be cod with vehicles

[eternal mountain]

Rivals revived gaming and finals is killing it

[rancid schooner]

i dont think it's an issue with fomo if it's like... small participation awards.

it's a problem with stuff like battlepasses where you lose out on a ton of items. but a sticker that's equivalent to "s3 silver" or something is just... okay

[worn ferry]

His idea is that if everyone feels like their sponsor is the better sponsor then they're more likely to actually compete rather than watch Engimo destroy this season and say "whatever I didn't want the W anyway"

[lone forum]

exactly

[crude ocean]

Amazon told me the GPU was gonna get to my crib on the 10th but then I checked and it's arriving TODAY. The only thing arriving later is the CPU

[worn ferry]

What could embark do to fix that

[nimble kelp]

i blame the CEO for trying to pull some strings keeping a sponsor out. now theyre glazing engimo

[lone forum]

more cool cosmetics if you participate repping ypur sponsor stuff

[ornate tapir]

s4 was just a genius season which will never be replicated at this point

[nimble kelp]

the finals didnt have the budget on the characters like rivals has

[crude ocean]

Oh how disappointing life is. The CPU is arriving extra late meaning my PC is delayed

[eternal mountain]

That’s why rivals > finals by a long shot, we need the jiggle physics

[spark lantern]

it would be pretty cool if we got a tail depending on which sponsor you pick. So each representative has a different animal tail

[nimble kelp]

Indeed

[ornate tapir]

s4 was a glimpse of what the finals should be minus the whole triple medium model defib heal beam shit and likely that vision will never be actualized

[rancid schooner]

this should be on the server

[eternal mountain]

Is embark selling that tiger tail as merch IRL?

[nimble kelp]

alright go back to the basement

[worn ferry]

Yeah like if your sponsor wins they unlock sponsor specific cosmetics that look cool but ultimately entice competition without being too "evil game corpo"-like

[lone forum]

or animated stickers

[spark lantern]

my character has the tigertail lol

[fluid canopy]

irl?

[eternal mountain]

I want them to sell the tail as merch in real life

[lunar cairn]

yeah but im not saying qc should be comp its literally meant to be casual. i was just tryna say that ranked cashout and WT should be the only ranked and TA should be removed from ranked.

For something that doesn't matter as much but would ultimately improve. Like Winning as the top 1 gets your sponsor brand emblem, shoes and gloves, 2nd gets just the shoes and gloves, and 3rd gets the sponsor Nikes

[eternal mountain]

Did you ever get a response? Do they have plans on more tails and possibly even swimsuits?

They're actually making an ai powered gyro tail irl

They would need to release a lot more revealing clothes for that. 99% of the clothes are heavy jackets and military wear

[spark lantern]

I'll let you know my dude, last time I chatted with one of them. I was told that the guy was going to notify their team about the other suggestions I had about Gothic cosmetics . It was a nice chat 🙂. There's so many people in here so I'll try to remember your name if I ever get another response

also if you're even playing a f2p EA game you're supporting your biggest enemy in existence, video game or otherwise

what do you have against rust? it was just some maintainers not willing to accept that they need to use modern technologies if they want new young developers to join

[exotic ocean]

What's wrong with that

[lone forum]

furries are way more visible? idk if thats the right word but they're a lot more everywhere now which im not surprised at, im just wondering why now

[ornate tapir]

its the license, zoomers who have no idea about anything with open source have been brainwashed into being 5th columnists. Rust people are pushing an MIT license on the core utils and thats all that you need to know and it will kill the entire project, mozilla is already dead

[nimble kelp]

Remember kids. Watching some of our childhood cartoons potentially makes hs furries

yeah im kidding btw lol, the finals has really taken me out of that apex love

its not rust ppl its ubuntu that wants to rewrite the core utils and ubuntu was always stupid

I would even say that every NA AAA publisher should be blanket boycotted by any intelligent person, if you arent doing that then you have some problems or you arent informed enough, there's really no side that should support them

it was the game that started a revival for fps gaming for me which sucks, wish it wasn't behind EA 😔

[rancid schooner]

The most depressing thing is that EA have been this evil since the 1980s with their support just going up the whole time.

[ornate tapir]

not really EA used to publish good games, the devs always hated EA but the games were good, EA hasnt made a game since titanfall 2

The weirder it is the more people pay that's a lesson you learn from the internet

[lone forum]

its cuz they're everywhere now they have tons of games everywhere

[rancid schooner]

Even ultima had easter eggs calling EA (publisher for ultima) the evil empire and true villains.

[exotic ocean]

The funny part is that it's true

[ornate tapir]

EA and Ubisoft in the 2000s have a stronger library than every other studio on the planet combined

[exotic ocean]

Valve kinda soloed but ye kinda

[lone forum]

lmao

[fluid canopy]

yeah would be nice if they could roll over die and be bought by someone else or smth
despite hating them I do still play the jedi games as enjoyable starwars content is getting less and less common

[ornate tapir]

valve is irrelevant

[rancid schooner]

I feel like VR might honestly have enabled and emboldened many of the furries to be themselves and that's bled out into being themselves in meatspace. (VRChat in particular but not just that)

[compact jewel]

quiet

[exotic ocean]

There's like 4 people who still talk about splinter cell

You know how many wait for hl3?

[ornate tapir]

valve from day 1 was a modding company, source engine is a quake engine fork, tf2 is a quake mod that they bought, portal was an outside project that they bought, dota 2 was a mod for a completely different game like tf2, unreal created way more original tech than valve

[covert flax]

that's true, if you see something even remotely weird (but not even inappropriate stuff), you will be like "who the hell pays for this" and you check the price and "HOLY FUCK WHY IS IT 200€"

[exotic ocean]

So what you're saying is that valve made mods better than most games

And that this isn't impressive

[rancid schooner]

valve from day one were a digital-only + DRM company. They were the vanguard.

[ornate tapir]

do you know what a mod is lmao its not even made by that company

[rancid schooner]

Half life 2 existed to make DRM more mainstream

[ornate tapir]

and now valve is banning actually good CS iterations again, cause they never made CS in the first place and they only need to keep the kids gambling

[fluid canopy]

and thats why you should use gog for single player games

[lone forum]

whats the season 7 name btw

[rancid schooner]

it's not even hyperbole, it's what gaben openly said at the time!

[exotic ocean]

A mod is an unlicensed commuinty addition to an already existing product yes

Which means valve games aren't mods since they're licensed

And that also they did make them, they just used some content as a baseline to add to

[ornate tapir]

and you dont own any of the games you buy on steam btw

[fluid canopy]

well Im not joking gog is the better choice when it comes to single player titles

[exotic ocean]

You don't own anything you can get banned in

[rancid schooner]

I hate that younger gamers see steam as this pure force of good when i remember how they forced this anticonsumer stuff in the first place + their main money being gambling. 😦

[ornate tapir]

its all an IQ test, but the entire ecosystem is rotting to the point the worst option is kind of the best

[lone forum]

oh geez i remember going into that rabbit hole a couple months ago its insane

[soft rain]

[fluid canopy]

well compared to other companies of comparable size they are the purest form of good

[ornate tapir]

the entire software ecosystem is dying out to the point you really should just publish all your software on steam lmao

[exotic ocean]

Valve is the most consumer friendly AAA company nowdays which is why

Their worst offense is the whole cs gambling and normalization of loot crates, which is bad but they were far from the only company doing that, while simultaneously doing other much more based things

[lone forum]

aren't they getting worse

[rancid schooner]

Not like i want them to go away i am a vr fanatic and they made that happen as much as oculus. The lesser evil is still evil.

[exotic ocean]

For example when EA decided to put ads in their paid games a year ago, steam banned all ads from games on their platform

[ornate tapir]

and I really dont like majority of the steam userbase either, its full of people who cant appreciate real tech and keep talking about esoteric things which they dont have any idea about either, and just spam waifus and other degenrate furry shit not to mention the gambling and weird ass games on the front page

[rancid schooner]

thing is the other companies did it following their lead

[mortal basalt]

No day 3 update they gave up on the game 🥀💔

[lone forum]

😞

[exotic ocean]

You do know that bethesda started it and EA pushed it harder than anyone else

[buoyant dagger]

does anyone know how much money i have to put aside for arc raiders
