[rancid schooner]

ive seen some of the clips yeah

[steady acorn]

i love her so much

[plain osprey]

I liked peanut when he was playing takov, but now he overdoes his persona and its getting predictable

[vast orchid]

bring back bank it

[bronze moth]

that moment when point break becomes a tug of war between heavies on who can pull or move the checkpoint box closer or further away from each other

[steady acorn]

she so cute

[rancid schooner]

he played Tarkov, that explains why hes so good at arc lol

[silk frigate]

i dont watch vtubers

[steady acorn]

ogmg i think i need her to do wood work for me

[rancid schooner]

hes a peanut

[open imp]

ive seen clips of his when hardly anyone knew him, i thought he was just gonna be one of those small content creators that hardly anyone would know about, but glad hes getting recognition

[silk frigate]

a ptuber?

[vivid topaz]

as a light main its not that good. with good movement i can avoid the combo a lot

and getting trapped

[graceful tinsel]

Especially if yall have 3 dashes ready

[blissful blaze]

I try more to block the path than trap lights, they just have too much movement even without dashes that its usually better to retreat and block their path forward

[open imp]

its hard to say if hes consider a vtuber, but i dont think he is, i see it just as a filter

[blissful blaze]

Even if i just block line of sight and avoid some shots, thats better than trying to trap and failing and dying

Now trapping a medium in some goo, thats fun. No demat? You're in goo world now pal

Or just completely nullifying a mediums turret by shooting a goo ball on it lmao

[open imp]

this is basically the people i play with in ranked now

https://medal.tv/games/the-finals/clips/lM0GADT8ihGiIJKO-?invite=cr-MSxYUEUsMTY4NDM5OTIz&v=21

[vivid topaz]

thats the thing tho unless youre going against a team of mediums its kinda useless. other heavys it wont work a lot of the time.

[vivid topaz]

i run light with the bat sword skin or the sawed off

can cook on anyone every time

[graceful tinsel]

I mean on other heavies you can out-damage them if you manage to hit a 2nd goo shot

[open imp]

recently ive been running off meta loadouts and its been so much fun, meta loadouts are so boring, i run gravity cube in my main loadout now, literally slept on

https://medal.tv/games/the-finals/clips/lLZfeYiZpJz7e8iae?invite=cr-MSw0eWksMTY4NDM5OTIz&v=23

[plain osprey]

Idk i want to make goo gun work, but dont vibe with constantly trapping players in goo, but i love using it to barricade or make bridges.

[exotic wyvern]

Do yall take the crust off the pop tart or eat it

[shy crown]

I don't understand why 40 meters in a game looks like 400 meters irl. It's trivial to land shots on man sized targets from 100-200 meters with iron sights irl, but in a game that's like trying to shoot a 2 pixel target with an actual thumb as your irons

[blissful blaze]

There's definitely times I wished I had a different spec on than the goo gun for sure, dont get me wrong. I mostly use it as its the last spec for heavy I need to level up, but the longer I've e had it equipped the more I've grown to appreciate what you can do with it. Like mining a whole room with goo balls and turning it into the Wayne manor at the end of the first Nolan movie when youre on defense. just burn it all.

[bronze moth]

nudging the cashout machine ever so slightly to end up bouncing on a jump pad

[blissful blaze]

High key goo gun is the heavy class mobility item lmao that and the gravity cube but goo gun has more options than just float up

[plain osprey]

I ate pop tart once, and its so bland to me

[shy crown]

Butter.

[blissful blaze]

True or even just knocking the cashout on its side so no one can use it for cover to steal

[graceful tinsel]

It's so nice when you try to drop it but fuck up the hole

[exotic wyvern]

Have yall tried these new sauce pop tarts I just had bbq flavor and If you toast them they’re gassss

[plain osprey]

Yeah, but in those situations i often ask myself if im better off using a goo nade and going charge instead

[cyan agate]

do arrows from the bow fly differently when you move?

[exotic wyvern]

On the way down no, I think on the way up yes

[blissful blaze]

I mean a 20 shot goo gun over 1 goo nade? I can cover a lot of ground with those 20 shots pretty fast. And the goo nades ive had mixed results with how they expand so im not crazy about them on heavy. Medium and light, for sure.

[ivory bluff]

He is funny and yes he's counted as a "vtuber"

https://tenor.com/view/croods-new-age-phil-thumbs-up-gif-16759196288210285118

[open imp]

not a vtuber, hes a dude with a filter the way i see it

[plain osprey]

Does goonade have only 1 charge? I havent used goo nade since early season 6 so i didnt follow lol

[lusty trench]

#BUFFARN, Man my fav gun has been in the gutters for way too long

[stuck goblet]

BBQ pop tarts?

[thick hinge]

You have a few goonades

[shy crown]

I find him moderately annoying but not cringe.

[rancid schooner]

https://youtube.com/shorts/QT-tKBVdqRA?si=v6h0hdLj7mgGpWJ1

[open imp]

i feel like arn is in a good spot, doesnt need any changing

[blissful blaze]

Maybe its 2, idk i honestly barely use them much cause im almost always on heavy class haha I know a lot of the charge amounts for gadgets has been tweaked over the seasons but if they dont affect the heavy class I usually dont pay too much attention to them

[open imp]

https://medal.tv/games/the-finals/clips/lNe5IBM1r4Wow6eo6?invite=cr-MSxuNGUsMTY4NDM5OTIz&v=32

[plain osprey]

Peanut was much less predictable and more personal before the Arc raiders arc. He kind of doubke down on the loud is funny

[scarlet glade]

(The recoil, uptime and range on that shit is crazy)

[steady acorn]

how do i get a cu7te gd to be at my place im from norway shes from autrsralia

[true nova]

@stiff kernel

[rancid schooner]

he should play the finals instead!

[shy crown]

I feel this way too. I wrote it off too quickly before. It's real strengths are long range engagements. Use it for that and it really shines.

[open imp]

fr, the recoil itself is already making the gun good, ive dominated lobbies that had rubies with it

[plain osprey]

He did play the finals with moist just before Arc Raiders release

[potent badger]

why is team 11 locked

[steady acorn]

the girl om ith on on like cha shes so gorgteous

[rancid schooner]

ah ok

[shy crown]

ARN keeps 70% of its damage past its maximum falloff

[potent badger]

😭

[scarlet glade]

it could do with a bit more vertical recoil towars the end tbh

[steady acorn]

i wish i was with her a littlile tbh. i love young yourgls

[potent badger]

@obtuse vapor let me in

[plain osprey]

Peanut loved the finals, but arena style shooters bore him pretty fast

[vivid topaz]

yeah agreed eft peanut was peak

[steady acorn]

@open imp so... shes doing her thing rn but im just thinking abouyt her

rdo you knowwwwwwwww

[open imp]

thanks for telling me this that i have nothing to do with, i will make sure i note it down and stick it to my monitor

[arctic apex]

Yeah ngl its recoil does feel a bit easy sometimes

[steady acorn]

do you kno what the most fun thing is in the worl
its girls

[plain osprey]

Yeah, i stopped watching him. But i do enjoy the clips still and sometimes watch old vods

[ivory bluff]

The dude falls into the vtuber category no matter what now like it or not the dude won a vtuber award his model is way different from others but its still a 3D peanut avatar lol Vtuber = Virtual Tuber

[blissful blaze]

Unfortunately that is just a trend with content creators, once they find that audience they almost never give it up. I ended up having to unsub from a couple on YouTube that really leaned into the whole immature kind of content creation where its random screaming of "excitement" and just appealing to little kids. Good for them making that money but not the kind of content creator anyone will actually remember in a few years.

[open imp]

once i get my tv setup and mounted im gonna probably have his stream running in the background or whatever finals streamer

[steady acorn]

let

[ivory bluff]

But besides that peanut dude is goated and funny

[stiff kernel]

Eve

[cyan agate]

I was thinking sideways maybe?

[steady acorn]

let me give an explanation

[ivory bluff]

His arc raiders content is hilarious

[arctic apex]

No

[plain osprey]

The brightest stars live the shortest

[steady acorn]

the exploanation

[true nova]

I missed you

[open imp]

well it doesnt matter to me honestly, but he is a vtuber i guess, its just that when i think of vtuber i just think of those people with the moving anime characters

[blissful blaze]

No, the brightest stars publish Animal Well now on sale on Steam

[plain osprey]

I like the EFT streams, do as you wish

[south trellis]

Are the servers down?

[ivory bluff]

Ill become a vtuber and use a Halo Elite as my avatar

https://tenor.com/view/wort-wort-wort-halo-elite-dance-halo-elite-dancing-halo-persona4-elite-persona4dancing-gif-24059772

[blissful blaze]

Don't think so, im searching for a match currently

[open imp]

anime character vtubers are starting to get annoyingly unoriginal, like lets come up with some original characters to be as thank you

[blissful blaze]

And gane found so might just be your wifi or something

[south trellis]

My game keeps telling me “Server not responding; we cannot connect you to a match

[stable drum]

I just queued into practice range, no issues so far

[frozen shale]

no. just finished playing for the day servers were A-okay

[plain osprey]

Since recently servers sometimes break mid-match and everyone is kicked out of the match for 10 minutes

[cerulean bough]

same

[south trellis]

That’s what I’m trying to do rn

[cerulean bough]

im in duo, he is in and still pull me out every time

[south trellis]

I’ll try to queue up a quick cash

[frozen shale]

what region are you guys? maybe the aws servers are still bad in your region. works perfectly normal in asia

[blissful blaze]

Idk man, my match of point break just started and we are able to move so might be more issues with the servers like the other day

[cerulean bough]

NA

[stable drum]

EU

[blissful blaze]

The game has been a little janky today though, not 100% smooth

[open imp]

its been fine for me

[cerulean bough]

close game and try again its worths

[west granite]

What do the sponsors do in the game?

[south trellis]

I’m in a QC now that’s weird

[frozen shale]

it is just for lore reasons

[thick mango]

who loves being in gold lobbies and going against 4 time ruby players

[open imp]

nothing, basically they are just companies you wanna rep in game and you get rewards for it

[frozen shale]

also the sponsor tracks ingame gives you free cosmetics

[clear bolt]

only 15k players on the finals rn

[open imp]

so if you like cyber security related stuff youll like vaiiya, if you like farming and doing crops or something youll like trentella

[frozen shale]

so the usual?

[clear bolt]

it just keeps dropping

[steady acorn]

7yo what gud any gurls online

[blissful blaze]

It was like a little bit stuttering from lag but that went away after the first match today

[frozen shale]

it has been around 15-18k for almost a year now

[clear bolt]

yes but when you look at the last year, it is a steady decline

[steady acorn]

doesnt matter

[frozen shale]

yeah after season 3 it has almost been a consistent 15-18k

[steady acorn]

shes been looking at guys like me anway

[frozen shale]

few peaks during new season launches but nothing new

[rancid schooner]

dead game

[half lantern]

isn't there a million players on the chinese version

[steady acorn]

still, girls like me

[open imp]

thats a good amount

[half lantern]

i read somewhere there was a million registered a few months ago

[steady acorn]

they love my style idk what dont ask me

[open imp]

well i imagine because i never once heard of a good chinese game, so i imagine the finals changed that

[frozen shale]

15k is just on steam. lots of players in NA and EU play on consoles as well. we do not know the console numbers

[rancid schooner]

this game is basically KSP 2 at this point

[open imp]

last time i heard they have amount 300k+ daily users on all platforms combined

[steady acorn]

5k or 15k what does it even matter this sasions

[frozen shale]

ksp 2 is burried 12 feet underground with mount everest on top. the finals is doing fine

[steady acorn]

all i thong for this season i s thta i get like a sexy furry babe

[rancid schooner]

its not as popular as fortnite tho = dead

[olive solar]

concurrent is all that matters as far as matchmaking quality

[steady acorn]

cus like, furry girls are weird

[blissful blaze]

I find it hard to believe majority of players play this on console, especially such a lopsided amount

[tidal ravine]

Whats up party people

[half lantern]

i hope the more players mean more profits and incentives to push more updates and content

[frozen shale]

my friend just started playing this season and after his first qc his global ranking was around 550k

[distant mauve]

Everytime someone brings up steam charts to justify a game being dead, a curse triggers that extends its life by another year

[blissful blaze]

That 300k was also probably from launch, I dount the total player base is around that anymore

[half lantern]

most consoles players don't turn on crossplay

[south trellis]

Arc was the best they’ve gotten in player counts

[olive solar]

they're talking about unique users logging in per day, not concurrent

[frozen shale]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lazy-cat-drunk-gif-25621185

[open imp]

yeah their content updates are starting to decline honestly, like the skins they released this week was cool, but they could def do better, especially when reusing an ltm 3 times in a row already is concerning, for the snowball blitz they could've atleast changed the map or something

[blissful blaze]

So a disingenuous number then

[frozen shale]

yes

[open imp]

that was said back in season 7

[half lantern]

reusing ltms have always been the case tho especially holiday ltms, overwatch apex etc have been reusing the same christmas ltms for years

[blissful blaze]

Its been downhill since then so id love to know the new numbers

[nova veldt]

scotty's cat when the fridge gets left slightly open

(those are all ospuze)

[blissful blaze]

But this game has consistently changed each ltm a bit when they came around again, this is i think the first where its the exact same

[open imp]

yeah i guess, the last fun original ltm we had was heavy hitters

[frozen shale]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-drink-drinking-drinks-gif-25778685

[half lantern]

at least the quality isn't going down fangwai city is pretty detailed map

[blissful blaze]

Wouldn't know, since the new map isnt in rotation for point break

[open imp]

yeah same, it'd be nice, people just dont want to try the game cause its new and different from other genres, plus its hard to learn especially with the veterans who've been playing since day 1 and all that

[blissful blaze]

I think ive maybe played the new map once this season

[half lantern]

i wonder why pointbreak fangwai would be peak

[steady acorn]

i am cman

[open imp]

yeah that map is one of my new favorites

[frozen shale]

i get nothing but the new map and bernal this season

[steady acorn]

i like being man

[spare basin]

Halloo

[plain osprey]

Bro fangwai is weird ahh map

[open imp]

hello new person

[torpid echo]

Why is it every time I see exploiting in point break there is an FNC clan member on the team exploiting...

[plain osprey]

Many weird elevations and non-destructable environments

[steady acorn]

man or not,mass cunfosion or not i ont care. i am a mass confusion. Ithe girls goes it)

[frozen shale]

i would rate nozomi as the best newer maps

[spare basin]

It's like my 5h gameplay from this game and I love it

The issue is that I had a pretty werid game before

[open imp]

i hardly come across expliters honestly, unless im just thinking some of them have crazy aim

[steady acorn]

the girlsoves golves

[frozen shale]

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-mike-tyson-cheering-laughing-happy-gif-15868180970302261315

[spare basin]

Like my teammates go to the B cash out instaid of the A (the nearest) i didn't understand how tf ?

[blissful blaze]

Its like how I feel about destiny 2, god damn if that game doesnt have its issues but still nothing else has scratched that space wizard magic vibe like d2 did. Or how no other fps has this level of destruction or just silly fun without going too far into ludicrous territory. I dont want to see the game die cause nothing will replace it at this point, but I cant pretend everything is sunshine and butterflies with the finals.

[torpid echo]

I mean pulling the objective out of the map zone.... they could also be exploiting on aim, but thats not the main thing

[plain osprey]

If you play normal cashout, you are sometimes playing with brainlets

[half lantern]

i feel like we need more drops and eb needs to pay more on advertising

[steady acorn]

this one gurn man shes so beautiful, i love her shes a goregeous girl.. how would you girzz my girlz

[half lantern]

the arc raiders collab was nice and got people to actually look at this game

[open imp]

there is a lot to learn in this game, they probably had their reasons to do that like 3rd party or the site is easier to set up, dont drop the game yet, def give it a try and learn about it, once it clicks its hard to drop, i got 2.5k+ hours on it so far

[spare basin]

I see 😅 I thought to myself " Yea I need friend to play that game"

[half lantern]

many didn't even know it existed

[torpid echo]

Sadly, those new ppl probably got paired against top players in stacks and got smacked

[frozen shale]

this is giving me a liver failure trying to read it

[open imp]

yeah the marketing is annoying me, if a whole bunch of people started playing at the same time then they wouldnt be dealing with sweats in casuals

[spare basin]

I never gave up and I know I watched a lot of the final before playing the game and these guy were level 12 like me I can forgive that

[steady acorn]

@main moth

[main moth]

Huh

[steady acorn]

same

[open imp]

yeah the finals does have its own problems, but i got my hopes up for them, literally the best game in the market rn imo

[spare basin]

same reason

[steady acorn]

you syouldnt be exploitativable of women

[blissful blaze]

Maybe this game needs like a bot mode like how marvel rivals has, give players an actual place to learn the game but still play with other people. The practice range is a start but that could maybe be what actually helps retain new players

[frozen shale]

my cat just woke up and started yelling at me -_-

[main moth]

What do you mean

[open imp]

never have i heard or seen anyone pull objective outside the map boundaries

[half lantern]

honestly bots may be the only quick solution there is, put new players with other new players+bot lobbies for their first 20-40ish games

[open imp]

they def should do bots but i imagine its hard to implment bots into the game

[main moth]

Why did i get randomly pinged 😭🙏

[frozen shale]

what did you have Glorp??? did someone feed you anything funny??? did you do drugs??? i am calling your mom

[olive solar]

💀 can I have billion Multibucks too

Have you played point break much?

[plain osprey]

I ‘hate’ those light teammates that keeps intentionally push the opposite point we are pushing, he dies and then spams the request revive, till he loses all his coins and leaves the match.

[spare basin]

I'm huh ing like ya

[steady acorn]

if is a woman being expoited its not good?

[open imp]

oh that gamemode? they fixed it so the grand vaults dont go outside the boundaries anymore

[frozen shale]

@main moth pt.2

[spare basin]

Why they just don't delete that game

[half lantern]

i mean having some medium or heavy that does not use util running around just shooting wouldn't be that difficult

[main moth]

Why am i getting pinged

[steady acorn]

godi i cant wait for this one girl

[main moth]

❤️

[blissful blaze]

Yeah you got some crazy hours in this game lmao im a little shy from 800 hours but still even with that much time I still have a lot of fun with this game. Just really wish we had a bit more to look forward to than some more stuff to buy in the shop each week at this point, though grinding the sponsor tracks has been at least something to do. Can finally get that vaiiya full face mask to make a sweet stormtrooper type outfit

[steady acorn]

im 32 shes 19 but im mobing into her place hopefully

[half lantern]

i bought off everything there is to buy haven't got banned yet

[tulip forge]

what

[plain osprey]

Im baby, i have le 200 hours

[rancid schooner]

they need to nerf sword light I have a theory its much of the reason new players quit this game. I'm using sword light in deathmatch and going 30-5 making ppl ragequit left and right. its a stupid fucking weapon and needs to be gutted/removed completely for the game's longevity imo

[spare basin]

what da

[open imp]

well i mean causing bots to get stuck in broke structures or learning new paths because from the same thing about broken strutures

[main moth]

@steady acorn why did you ping me goofy

[half lantern]

i doubt they actually perma ban people because how small the player base is, at most they remove everything people got

[steady acorn]

she cute i like her, and i know she like me

[rancid schooner]

no one likes dying to some ADHD low IQ child playing super saiyan with a sword

[frozen shale]

did you eat your some candies from your mom's night stand?

[scarlet glade]

I think finding conext is gonna take too long so imma ask you

[tulip forge]

what did i come back to

[olive solar]

If they're not incompetent they prob have a rollback

it'd be funnier if they dont though

[steady acorn]

cus you're one of the3 cooler ones

[plain osprey]

Sword mains are sexy

[spare basin]

I understand ur rage but even if they nerf the damage a lot sword is still good and fun

[frozen shale]

i think we lost them. they have lost their mind

[main moth]

Ah, explains a lot. Have fun playing rivals then.

[open imp]

every week is a bug patch and store update, every three weeks is bug patches, store update, balance changes, and possible new ltms to play, and then mid season are the big updates, usually big stuff are added or something related

[rancid schooner]

nerf it so it takes like 5 hits to kill a light. Weapon is so easy to use shouldnt even exist in the game

[spare basin]

It's my first hour and u're right that i have been more frustrated by being killed by lights

[frozen shale]

ew rivals

[tulip forge]

rivals is alr
if you don't interact with the community

[spare basin]

They just good at set-up before going in

[steady acorn]

oh and btw how about you shu your nips you dont have that much interesting to say anywa

[rancid schooner]

so many new players to this game quit solely due to sword lights. its a joke the community wants to keep that skill-less garbage in the game

[steady acorn]

say something

[tulip forge]

bro are you high or something.. tf you talking about

[elfin jewel]

something

[open imp]

while back i had some friends i finally convinced to play the finals and they were having fun until they came across sword lights, they were struggling and getting mad so after the match they got off until they said they nerfed sword light, sword lights are def an issue in the game

[torpid echo]

Laughs in red zone immunity camp zone with objective by barrier

[half lantern]

eb definitely does have the ability to have bots, the chinese version that launched last month has bots, im guessing they are just experimenting it first before bringing it to the main game

[rancid schooner]

dude i went 30-5 in deathmatch just now and I have no idea how to use the sword. I just use dash, vanishing bomb and spam left click. Its not some big brain weapon the ppl here want you to believe

[plain osprey]

Most likely high on the apple juice

[spare basin]

I can't say much fr...

[frozen shale]

okay dude i am sorry i was just fking around I dont mean no disrespect

[steady acorn]

i hafe no idea, and yea

[spare basin]

I will try it then perhaps I will understand why this weapon feel easy ?

[tulip forge]

lol fair

[elfin jewel]

I may be the unluckiest contestant

[open imp]

????? easy to deal with

[rancid schooner]

exactly and the dumbass community will immediately go " ☝️ 🤓 um ackshually its easily countered after 5k hours in the game its the worst weapon" dude stfu we're talking about whats fun and how to get new players to stay

[teal stream]

Nothing a few glitch traps and explosive mines can’t handle lol

[half lantern]

i think its more about the matchmaking because new players on sword light is not going to magically make them better than other new players if not worse

[steady acorn]

i stil see no chinese nips

[torpid echo]

TDM is really mixed with absolute brainless players and then pubstar farmers... if you can aim and use dash right a 30+ kill game is pretty reasonable, the not dying so much is the better part

[open imp]

they have bots? didnt hear about this, i def wanna see footage of it now and see what they did

[smoky kestrel]

Yo is anyone from the R6 thing earlier still here?

[rancid schooner]

as long as you played a videogame before like dishonored I cant really see how the weapon is hard to use its literally left click spam

[spare basin]

FAAAAAAAAH

[open imp]

remove tdm and replace it for bank it fr, bank it goated

[blissful blaze]

I hate to be that guy, but new stuff in the store you have to spend money on is not new content that is meaningful. Bug patches is not content to be excited about, thats literally an expectation between players and devs. Same with balance changes, thats just how smart devs keep the game fresh at a bare minimum. A big update would be getting a new map mid-season, or new weapons or gadgets or specs. Like other than an ltm, after the first day of the new season what you got is what you get until the next one.

[frozen shale]

lol orange barrel got a piggyback ride from the red one

[tulip forge]

no but i play R6

[rancid schooner]

i shouldn't go on a weapon I never use and dominate a TDM lobby when I dont as easily dominate with my main weps like the FCAR

[plain osprey]

yeah people be acting like i can magically feel melee players from 5 kilometers away through 10 layers of concrete

[smoky kestrel]

yeah they had a lil whoopsie happen earlier

[frozen shale]

https://tenor.com/view/botgrinder-fpv-nipple-asian-gif-19178441

[tulip forge]

oh..

[elfin sky]

Sword would be less of a problem if you could just hear the footsteps of the sneaky lights

[tulip forge]

i wasn't on last night.
but damn

[rancid schooner]

yeah especially the ones who hide and gank you while youre fighting another team. Shit needs to be removed. No one likes it except the 0.0001% of the actual dedicated virgin sword light mains

[open imp]

yeah their content updates are half the time dry with reskins or skins on weapons that people dont use, they could seriously doing more but they arnt

[tulip forge]

looks like a stack underflow

[steady acorn]

show me girl in a sexy vibe

[spare basin]

I have a question for you

I want to master the AKM any tips for hitting more shots?

[elfin jewel]

happy end of season 4 chat

[spare basin]

girl I feel bad that everyone ignore u

[plain osprey]

I have trouble with ammo management with the CL40

[steady acorn]

if, if its a lirb that is a beautfiful furry girl i dont mind

[smoky kestrel]

Wanna know the funiest thing abt it? Earlier it all went to shit, so they slowly killed shop, bp, etc etc all shut off so I went to take a nap, came back, everything works now and my credits are still there and I can buy everything no problem

[rancid schooner]

go to practice range and practice tracking aim, or to a bunch of TDM with a tracking wep with a smaller mag like the FCAR for example, then switching back to AKM after a while will make you hit way more shots

alr ❤️ thank u

[torpid echo]

Light is like x2 as easy to do well in TDM if you are at least an average player... its a big crutch...

[tulip forge]

practice my guy

all you gotta do

[blissful blaze]

Thats why im so baffled that they pretty much dropped a road map right away for arc raiders, but we have never gotten one from memory for this game beyond being told the next season is happening. I get embark is not bungie, or battlefield studios, or whatever studio grouping does fortnite, but when like every other live service game has some kind of road map and this one just doesn't, it just really makes you wonder

[steady acorn]

girls rae so pure and fun, im playing wiht a 19 year old gun shes fun

[tulip forge]

i own every op and have like a few hundred thousand credits
but that would have been kinda nice lol

[spare basin]

wuts TDM ?

[half lantern]

there are, people over at tencent confirmed it in an interview but i doubt they developed it on their own

[rancid schooner]

team deathmatch

[open imp]

they said they do have a roadmap and showed bits of it but never even showed all of it or explained any of it

[steady acorn]

stop it, shes fun. i love her

[spare basin]

alr

[tulip forge]

the best way to get better is to just play
there is no secret sauce

[steady acorn]

lets make some love with the disney veintrics

[torpid echo]

Don't go to TDM unless you a fairly decent player... you will get smashed otherwise. There is a ton of pubstar farmers who just hunt new players

[tulip forge]

powershift and pointbreak are good casual modes

[spare basin]

wuts pub star

[blissful blaze]

And based on how they did the video for this season before it came out, I dont have hopes that is going to improve in the future. I damn near fell asleep watching the season 9 preview thing when its just some faceless dude talking over still images

[open imp]

pub stompers

[spare basin]

I still don't know wut u mean by pub ?

[tulip forge]

public lobbies

[blissful blaze]

Like how did we go from getting a fake TV advert for a minigun to a timeshare style presentation for the new season

[spare basin]

oooo

[half lantern]

i wish they added more maps

[tulip forge]

yeah but those will be added soon enough

[open imp]

dont you dare say faceless dude, that is my boy rob talking, never slander his name, and i had fun watching what they did this season and was excited for the big rehaul on rs gain and world tour in general with the tokens, the tokens were a huge change in the finals

[elfin jewel]

why is the skirt only textured from one side embark

[torpid echo]

Someone who is amazing in public games and just does it to boost stats and ego... they duck out when they come up against other good players usually as well

[open imp]

basically public im pretty sure is what it is, basically pub stombers are people who are just really good at the game and go into casual modes and just farm kills or do whatever i guess

[stuck goblet]

Small indie company

[torpid echo]

Play powershift or point break instead of TDM

[half lantern]

they just don't have the incentives to, arc generates way more revenue

[steady acorn]

sexiest girl

[spare basin]

Aah alr ! soo I should practice in ranked then

[blissful blaze]

1. You literally dont know that dude so chill the fuck out. 2. Dude didnt show his face at all in the video so yeah he is faceless.

which leaderboard?

[olive solar]

spam tdm and play literally anything other than akm

[turbid sierra]

Dawg what is your fsr settings lmao

[spare basin]

flashbang 😅

[tulip forge]

i use the same loud out, other then instead of goo i use frag nade

[robust mesa]

i hate ai slop i hate ai slop i hate ai slop. I'm not signed in on my work pc, so when i'm finding music for tribute videos I get shit like this

[open imp]

pretty standard for a medium, i suggest trying out the p90, and use pad, jumppad literally goated and better than zip, you can use your goo grenade to throw down a goo wall and place down a jump pad on top on an angle and it will will do just as good or maybe even better, try it out

[olive solar]

I don't grind any leaderboard other than ranked

I play tdm most for casual since it's best for leveling up skins and for getting better at fighting

[spare basin]

hm I will then !

[turbid sierra]

Oh so it’s just pixelated by default for some reason

[spare basin]

The AKM is that bad ?

[errant prairie]

We love this being a thing ever since the launch of the game!!!

[robust mesa]

"the reaper" is Nicholas Irving btw. not some old AI generated asshole

[olive solar]

it's mid-low gun

[half lantern]

i've always wondered how leveling works on skins, is it the more kills?

[olive solar]

use finals wiki for this info, varies

I've had 17 kill games give me 4k xp and 40 kill games give me 2.9k

[spare basin]

I thought it was on par with the FAMAS

[tulip forge]

when it comes to jump vs zip
it depends on how you play, if you are a pocket medic and mainly support,
i find zip to be more reliable, jump is great for being aggressive and has more utility

[thin iris]

https://tenor.com/view/overwatch-reaper-dab-dabbing-dabs-gif-27079686

[tulip forge]

the akm is like a high b tier gun
i still main it but the fcar and the fmas are better

[torpid echo]

Yeah I just keep an eye out for names... mostly light mains at the top of TDM leaderboard...

[blissful blaze]

Try being in a point break match, get through to the final zone as attackers, waiting on the respawn screen to not waste any lives and like 2 seconds before we won I got kicked. Not even given a reason like oh you were inactive, I just got kicked from the match. Its incredible

[olive solar]

repeater and famas are on their own pedestal

everything else is below

[half lantern]

thanks i see it, didn't expect every weapon to have its own xp calculation

[trim barn]

We have more a roadmap for Finals than Bungie does for D2 lmao

In D2 we recently got promised a roadmap, then got a roadmap for the roadmap that basically said (were working on it) then we got a half backed roadmap for a month

Bungie is the most incompetent game dev ever lol

[lusty trench]

BTW is the matchmaking in TDM SBMM (doubt it since it's a casual game mode) but the MM doesnt make sense istg

[tulip forge]

not wrong,
but i feel pike gets way to much hate fr

[torpid echo]

I mean those who developed Concord probably rank higher than Bungie

[elfin jewel]

no AA makes it look like that
here's DLAA

[olive solar]

repeater is better pike rn so

[trim barn]

Concord was old Bungie devs lol

[tulip forge]

yeah, but pike isn't bad

[torpid echo]

BFR F1X clan are a pain in the ass

[spare basin]

wuts pike

[thin iris]

Almost every game in TDM is two top fraggers against each other praying that their team of new players feed the enemy slower. There is no matchmaking.

[spare basin]

true...

[tulip forge]

its the DMR on medium

[blissful blaze]

Ah yes, the most recent fuck up from bungie regarding their roadmap disregards all the road maps we got in the past. Which still compared to the finals is more roadmaps than we got from embark.

[lusty trench]

It's just, my first 5 games of the day I am dropping 35-50 bombs easily, Then I am playing against mfs who are hardcore camping and dont miss a shot, It's getting DRY

[spare basin]

I see 😅

[tulip forge]

idk how people play with no AA

[torpid echo]

They distilled the crapness into one dev... though the programmers may have been competent, the writers and designers shouldn't be in the gaming field ever again

[olive solar]

I would not be giving praise to finals communication either tbh

[spare basin]

My shitty eye can't see AA while lock in

[tulip forge]

it was good in the first few seasons but s8 and now 9 have been mid af

[blissful blaze]

Trying to say no roadmap is better than another game not having a roadmap is wild

[torpid echo]

Are you maining light dash... you see a lot of 30+ players doing that... pretty much most games... though killing them is fun

[plain osprey]

my unoriginal contestant

[trim barn]

At least in the finals we see when each event happens throughout the season. We have a season long roadmap in the game

Bungie roadmap fuck up was hilarious. They promised a roadmap in a week and it took them several months. All the content creators were demanding Bungie give the roadmap so they gave a roadmap required for them to give the roadmap

[trim barn]

True, but the Bungie roadmap situation was too funny/bad not to mention

[tulip forge]

i hate to admit it
but the finals has been falling off abit in quality.
shame.

still enjoy the game tho

[torpid echo]

Need a roadmap of the roadmap of the actual game roadmap

[plain osprey]

yeah the A-Team devs has shifted focus to Arc Raiders

[lusty trench]

I am primarily playing Light Dash yes, I just came back from a 2 month break from the game, just to see it's same old same old. Maps are meh, Matchmaking is NOT balanced, teammates suck most of the time. Matching the same players (with or against) every game, Like no one is playing. (I play on EU Servers) so it could be just an issue issue cuz the region is Honestly DEAD on this game

[trim barn]

I don't know, this is actually one of my favorite seasons outside of the first 4

[tulip forge]

it's just the same poke meta man

[plain osprey]

Fangwai is a stepup in graphical quality, but in gameplay its less quality

[trim barn]

But world tour changes were huge for a casual gamer like myself. I feel like I can just play anything and get rewarded for it

[half lantern]

isn't eu the region with the most players with na after it

[tulip forge]

idk how i feel about the new map
its liek

ok i guess

[blissful blaze]

Wow, its not like I cant go into destiny 2 and see all the stuff coming in the current episode or whatever they call it now. The finals doing the actual bare minimum is not the win youre looking for here

[torpid echo]

I had 4 players all get 0 kills in one round of TDM... by the end (we lost 20k to 10k) they had like 8 kills between them...

[spare basin]

Flashbang is soo funny

[plain osprey]

i find it the sloppiest map ever without the heart

[torpid echo]

On your own team, yes

[tulip forge]

i think it's better then bernal, syshorizon and citadel

[spare basin]

I think i spend the most of my game in TDM throwing flashbangs to enemies

[trim barn]

Evil

[spare basin]

James u're from the team rocket 🚀

[plain osprey]

Yeah it plays better, but i feel like its less polished. Being very cluttered, destruction being kind of tame

[tulip forge]

you don't know the meaning of evil in this current poke meta

[torpid echo]

I did like over 50 successful flashbangs in one game as I was doing a contract or something a few seasons back

Im having fun with the model in point break, quick cash and gold ranked

Fangwai is a alright map to play, but i would consider it less of a "The Finals" type map than others

[spare basin]

I play with the finals French discord for having real people with braincells

[hasty panther]

ye but waffles are so mid lowk compared to pancakes

[tulip forge]

95% of arguments in any game

[olive solar]

waffles better bc cronchy and have holes specifically to hold syrup

[tulip forge]

both of you are wrong.

[blissful blaze]

But what's the verdict on French toast? 🤔

[hasty panther]

the cronchy is bad

[spare basin]

it's shit with chocolate 🍫

What is that

[blissful blaze]

An ed Edd and eddy enjoyer being based? As expected

[nova veldt]

i eat american fries and american toast

[lusty trench]

Eh, it’s TDM. Casual game mode. I shouldn’t need a stack to Have fun, but having fun in this game is sometimes not feasible, it makes it challenge. Bad meta, poke meta, LH1, repeater, sniper spam camping. This game some times makes it hard to love it and to not be consistently taking breaks from it

[tulip forge]

you get it, you get it

[plain osprey]

it is a unique dutch cookie, but universally liked by most

[nova veldt]

wait how did the french invent french toast if vanilla is from mexico

[trim barn]

Just be silly in casuals

[spare basin]

For playing Cash out ofc

[blissful blaze]

My old gamer tag was RolfTheGoatKing, so I do friend

[tulip forge]

aye thats whats up

[torpid echo]

You don't need to stack, but people having braincells or lack of is apparent in TDM... especially when you see ppl going 0 for 25... where they just keep rushing at a team that are loosely camped with defence... I see a lot of really dumb players sabotaging matches in effect

[tulip forge]

i mean you should stack
but in everything other then ranked it's not required

[plain osprey]

And when the braincells come together, its full stack heavy

[tulip forge]

nah it's still LMH or MMH

[urban marsh]

This happens in point break as well sometimes its hilarious to keep repeat killing the same noob over and over and theyll end up having like 25 deaths on attack and completely drains their teams coins

[torpid echo]

I mean a braincell would tell you if you died 5 times in a row, try something different... you don't have to be skilled to even get a few kills but dying like over 20 times for a few kills at best is stupid

[plain osprey]

I do have those moments too, but thats because im trying out a loadout i never played, and dont know how to use the gadgets properly

[torpid echo]

People dying and coining on repeat is a real flaw with point break, they should restrict players coining after say 3 goes a main round unless the lives are above 20

[tulip forge]

eh

[blissful blaze]

I suggested that players should be required to have actually revived like 50 people before playing point break. I see way too many matches where more than one person on the team doesnt revive and that fucks the team just as much as a good opposing team

[plain osprey]

im a real guy for having 10 revives each point break

[urban marsh]

They need to fix the way it displays credits, because for some reason it always says infinite credits on attack under press start on the respawn screen

[tulip forge]

when maining medic medium for 9 seasons is meta in the new mode

[blissful blaze]

Last game I just left cause we only got a objective, down to about 10 tokens and only myself and one other player had revived. 2 people self rezzed as im trying to revive them so fuck it, im not wasting my time on a team like that

[plain osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-tf2-memes-medic-gif-11022779945058383803

[tulip forge]

Take the L with some dignity ffs

[torpid echo]

It should show coins used in the stats and an option to boot players at each round, as better to have one less player than one who is sabotaging

[blissful blaze]

Nah my time is valuable

[tulip forge]

smh

[clear bolt]

yea its a steady 300k, the finals dropped heavily day 1.

[plain osprey]

Also how do I manage playing Heavy amongst a LLH team comp?

most people thought the finals was a BR when it released

[rancid schooner]

what sight is best on Repeater?

im gonna install tf2 and play it now

You wanna play with people that think a team based mode means play it like tdm and then defend that behavior? Thats wild

hi guys

[tulip forge]

aye

[silent zealot]

wsg twin

[rancid schooner]

unironically the game would have more players if it was a BR, which is sad

[silent zealot]

basically is a br, just instead of surviving its whoever gets the most money

[torpid hazel]

Silver 1 time less go, it only gets harder from here

[hasty kayak]

the game does not play like a BR at all lol

[rancid schooner]

its basically fortnite

[tulip forge]

the reason this game isn't a chart topper is because of how different it is

i like it, and the people who play are very dedicated, but it will never be mainstream because there's nothing else like it

[silent zealot]

lmaooo

[urban marsh]

tons of people just dont bother to re-try a game, lets be honest launch wasnt the best so tons of people prob had a meh opinion on the game. you have to realize its new IP, from a new studio. it doesnt have the appeal for people of IP nostalgia

[plain osprey]

i believe the game wouldve done worse if it was le classic arena shooter

[rancid schooner]

its also pretty much an arena shooter which is the deadest shooter genre of all time (quake, tribes, unreal tournament, etc)

[silent zealot]

kinda does tho, you spawn in on a large map with other enimes and you all fight to be the winner

[rancid schooner]

it is an arena shooter tho

[plain osprey]

True, but i mean with usual gamemodes

[rancid schooner]

its like arena shooter mixed with overwatch

[tulip forge]

and, your aim in this game is like 40% of what matters, teamwork and using the destruction properly is much more important

[silent zealot]

youve lost me

[rancid schooner]

well yeah if it were like quake it would have 500 players right now

[hasty kayak]

the point of a BR is 1: you pick where you start 2: your main obj of the game isn’t to play for obj, and 3: it’s a “last player standing” scenario

[torpid hazel]

If this game was mainly a br i probably wouldn't play it, i like the niche the game made for itself it makes it unique in a sea of mediocre cod titles

[urban marsh]

game has the most similarities to older battlefields and half life 2 DM Imo

[hasty kayak]

just cause you spawn on a map and fight other ppl does not make it a BR

[plain osprey]

Idk i have never indulged myself in battle royale games since the Fortnite beta

[tulip forge]

not every game has to have hundreds of thousands of players.

this is the freshest game iv played since like planetside

[plain osprey]

Fortnite beta was peak though

[silent zealot]

it plays like a BR... never said it IS a BR. obv they're diffrent

[blissful blaze]

But the game did have the whole "we got ex devs of the goat battlefields and other games" which is what drew me in, maybe more people didnt hear that part regarding the studio but its not like battlefield is a small indie title. They really need to lean more into that for adverts than just "hey look what new cosmetics we added this week". You almost see no gameplay in the videos they put out, so no wonder anyone that doesnt play that comes to their YouTube channel would be turned off

[torpid echo]

On your own... as 2 lights basically means you'll be doing all the objectives and the lights may turn up occassionally

[lyric echo]

what BR specifically?

[tulip forge]

lol this doesn't play like a BR?

[rancid schooner]

only thing that makes it similar to BR is high stakes but thats not what defines a br

[plain osprey]

I will yell at my lights to keep an eye out for me then

[urban marsh]

they might push it more when s10 comes out idk. they sponsor a ton of people to play arc but seemingly not as much for the finals. i think they need to link things up a bit more

[rancid schooner]

light mains are idiots, you sure about that?

[silent zealot]

literally any br, very reminesant of Hyperscape

[plain osprey]

It better than keeping myself silent, im sure

[hasty kayak]

i mean that’s kinda what i was referring to, if it plays like a BR it would have a BR style of gamemode, which there aren’t a whole lotta similarities at least the ones i see.

[rancid schooner]

its Fortnite cuz theres jump pads

[lyric echo]

any br? okay this game def gives me spellbreak vibes man

[urban marsh]

Thats because BRs are literally arena shooters except on a huge map with 100 people and 1 life

[silent zealot]

ur just yappin, "hight stakes" makes no sense

[tulip forge]

people do not like this game because it's different

you gota know what tf you're doing to win
aim is not even that important

[plain osprey]

Left 4 Dead 3 is a extraction shooter

[rancid schooner]

dinosaur reject football player gonna tell me whats yappin

[coral granite]

I swear i play light and i see my teammates on light so i swap to heavy/medium only to find out they arent running glitch or infuser and then im just screwed

[blissful blaze]

Im worried next season we just get another corporate style presentation instead of high impact action teasers and in universe ads like we used to get

[tulip forge]

if you aren't running glitch on light
thats a throw n a half

[silent zealot]

??

[plain osprey]

Glitch mines are actual peak btw

[coral granite]

Literally every shooter is an arena shooter

[rancid schooner]

s10 should be a business meeting basically, we'll have to attend and hear how they will love for us to give them our money.

[rancid schooner]

arena shooters are not BRs, only very few can be considered one

[hasty kayak]

just cause it has a big map doesn’t qualify it to play like a BR. Extraction shooters have much bigger maps and you wouldn’t consider them to play like BRs yk

[urban marsh]

pretty easy to understand. Unless youre talking about like, pubg. But fortnite literally is an arena shooter. Its the closest thing we have to UT today

[blissful blaze]

As Doctor Morbius once said, intriguing

[tulip forge]

nah this game makes mad money
the amount of wales is crazy

[plain osprey]

The Finals is closer to quake than BR

[faint lantern]

Oh i am new at the dc

[errant prairie]

It's morbin' time

[urban marsh]

Obviously the gamemode is different, I mean more such how the guns and movement work

[silent zealot]

i never mentioned naything about it being a arena shooter. all im saying is that cashout plays like a BR

[tulip forge]

me when i speak dracula flow

[south trellis]

I don’t understand why meds run demat if they’re not gonna use it properly holy shit

[coral granite]

Game is genuinly closer to titanfall with battlefield gadgets than a br

[faint lantern]

I Like to Play Tf Do YouTube also likes Theo er cam Go in a Talk

[rancid schooner]

Arena shooters are fast paced, higher TTK with a focus on movement

only apex fits that bill, maybe and it sucks

[urban marsh]

You just described why people play fortnite instead of any other br

[blissful blaze]

Some dude day 1 of the new season posted screenshots of them buying every new bundle that came out that day. Like its your money, but that just shows embark they can keep doing that and probably add more next season launch.

[plain osprey]

Quake Live is easier than The Finals

[tulip forge]

yeah
people spend alot on this game on average

its why its still here with an ok ish player base

[lyric echo]

add in chinals cosmetics and it'll increase 10 fold

[rancid schooner]

i mean it is kind of "the best" br when we're talking ways to outplay ppl and skill cap. So, yeah.

[hasty kayak]

personally i don’t see the similarities to it playing like a BR, just because it’s a big map and you fight others doesn’t mean it “plays like a BR.” i mentioned earlier Extraction shooters play the exact same way if we’re classifying it that way

[bleak arch]

Am I tweaking or is there a cashout next to Hank's hand

[plain osprey]

Just wanna throw in that in The Finals you spawn with weapons in hand, unlike BR

[blissful blaze]

One of these days ill have to look and see what's different between the two versions, im kinda intrigued by what I hear about their version

[bleak arch]

Pickaxe is a weapon

[coral granite]

Add in you dont collect your loadout

[light rain]

most of shooter game are made for sake's of money not for the love of this genre

[tulip forge]

this game is in it's own genre

[blissful blaze]

Redsec you start with a pistol in hand

[coral granite]

Completely unrelated to what im talking about but im sure you knew that

[rancid schooner]

every BR nowadays u start with a gun

[bleak arch]

It's devs that love the genre + evil people that give devs money

[plain osprey]

Yo, dont expect me to know more than Fortnite Beta

[silent zealot]

lord have mercy, you just typed out why cashout plays like a BR

[light rain]

I just want to communicatie lmao

[bleak arch]

Redsec is not real

[plain osprey]

communicatie

[rancid schooner]

its just a reflection of the average dumbass gamer these days. What gets butts into seats for our game? Mindless slop.

[blissful blaze]

Then dont make a claim about something you know nothing about? The fuck?

[silent zealot]

i dont need to explain why i feel the similarities, ur just being mad techincal

[rancid schooner]

sybau goofy dinosaur

[bleak arch]

The average twitoid would probably prefer an entirely ai generated fps tbh

[hasty kayak]

so any game you fight other people with a map plays like a br? feels like you’re just lumping it all into one category lol

[rancid schooner]

you gonna calm down there?

[bleak arch]

Costco is Battle Royale

[plain osprey]

Was kind of overexaggerated, i have seen gameplay of warzone, that paladins BR and danger zone

[coral granite]

Only br that plays anything like the finals was hyperscape

[rancid schooner]

any other game with pixels plays like a BR yes

[hasty kayak]

apparently lol

[silent zealot]

i just said i dont need to explain it to you, you can stop fishing

[urban marsh]

Realm royale was peak too bad hirez is basically Satan in company form

[plain osprey]

Realm royale seemed funny

[errant prairie]

I thought HiRez was just lazy, what did they do?

[hasty kayak]

idk i just wanted to understand what you find as playing like a battle royale, no flame lol

[urban marsh]

I just hate them for killing paladins

[plain osprey]

oh i also played Age of Empires 2 battle royale

[covert flax]

in Fortnite you still start without any weapons, the only exception being the 5 minute mode Blitz Royale

[rancid schooner]

if that game had more polish, budget and support i wouldve played it. Actually lowskey more skill expression in that than 99% of other BRs. Just the whole spell thing 3rd person was unique.

Also, theres an extraction game coming out in feb thats like that, but its likely going to flop since the beta has been dead

[blissful blaze]

You can just fuck off honestly, im tired of idiots and people making excuses for idiots

[tulip forge]

totally accurate battlegrounds was peak

[plain osprey]

That shit is funny af, i actually played that one quite allot

[coral granite]

Im still waiting for spellbreak to return (completely coping)

[plain osprey]

but now there are 20 player lobbies max and mostly chinese players

not many hackers tho

[winged herald]

I don’t think it’s me anymore

[plain osprey]

the finals was never real

Speaking about small lobbies Wildgate went too soon.

[lyric echo]

my BR cope is that Darwins Project came back. That or Bloodhunt was actually alive and didn't shoot themselves in the foot

[plain osprey]

wildgate... i can barely remember

[vast aurora]

is getting 518 hours on the finals in just 2 seasons bad?

[plain osprey]

i keep confusing wildgate with stormgate damn

[tulip forge]

if you're having fun then do whatever you want

[coral granite]

Harmless hobby that harms no one is never bad

[winged herald]

Throwback to when I had every one of my kills stolen by roof goons

[plain osprey]

just dont forget to shower and hydrate

[vast aurora]

i was til i hit lvl 92 and now only get low level or new players when i play cashout

[tulip forge]

im level 94 and yeah, it's mostly people under level 30

[vast aurora]

i do, its manditory anyways when owrking at wallmrt

[distant mauve]

Fall guys was gone too soon

[coral granite]

No it wasnt

[plain osprey]

Also i cannot get over the fact that i won my first WT/Ranked tournament at level 72

[coral granite]

That is tragic

[plain osprey]

its sad honestly

[vast aurora]

.i havent even played ranke yet

[civic zenith]

I have 1000 multi bucks and I mostly use the akm I have the battlepass but I'm not even halfway through it idk which akm skin to get the mythic yinyang bang the pink toy one or the one with no stock

[winged herald]

“Oh man I can’t wait to win the game with this final cashout”

The opposing team swapping to flamethrower winch heavies:

[tulip forge]

if you aren't gonna stack
then stay away from ranked

[vast aurora]

yin yang is fire, i run it on my main setup

[plain osprey]

i won agaisnt a 2 heavy flamethrower 1 medium medic combo by staying away from our held cashout and kiting

[civic zenith]

Ok

[rancid schooner]

does quick cash have SBMM? cuz im psure im being put in the virgin lobbies

[tulip forge]

the only akm skin that matters

[coral granite]

Everyone i know is addicted to decade old games i have no stack

[civic zenith]

I don't have that skin though

[plain osprey]

There is no matchmaking beyond early account matchmaking

[vast aurora]

quickplay has less to no sbmm i think, its engangmet based

[rancid schooner]

whats engagement based do

[plain osprey]

im not sure about engagement based matchmaking, never heard of that

[rancid schooner]

get the toy one imo, its the best, same with ks23 toy gun

[winged herald]

1 year anniversary skin:

[plain osprey]

that shit fire

[civic zenith]

Ok

[rancid schooner]

well we got 3 stacks perfectly covering 4 flights of stairs with gas mines and RPGing us out with perfect delay strats in quick cash

[plain osprey]

maybe they were locked in and in discord voice call

[rancid schooner]

in quickcash? Peak virgin behavior

[bleak arch]

I once again decided to just get the base battle pass. I don't like most of the Chinese themed stuff and I just like a couple of the side things like animations and tk that don't have variants anyway

[urban marsh]

It would be OK for casual but the player count is prob too low to get a good result. It's supposed to give a balanced game but usually it doesnt end up working well.

[plain osprey]

that sure is

[rancid schooner]

"lets warm up guys"

[tulip forge]

i gotchu
FierceDevice#6896

[rancid schooner]

meanwhile "Warming up" in the discord call "dudude dude dude! kid right here kid right here!!!!! okay, got him, DEAD!"

[plain osprey]

closer online associates of mine also play tf2 with a 6-7 stack to sweat out the contracts

[rancid schooner]

theres contracts in tf2?

[coral granite]

Im a lowly console player but il remember this when i get back on

[plain osprey]

i mean its fun for them, but i find it kind of too much

[plain osprey]

yeah, you can pay for a seasonal pass and do contracts

[rancid schooner]

didnt know valve was still adding stuff to the game

[coral granite]

Actually doesnt the game always have pc crossplay on?

[urban marsh]

it was like 8 years ago

[tulip forge]

all good, i don't care if you console or pc
aslong as you aren't a rage type person
then we all good

[rancid schooner]

what

[plain osprey]

They have been adding cosmetic slop for a long time now

[urban marsh]

contracts and stuff have been in the game forever. they do add new cosmetics like once a year

[plain osprey]

the game is really bloated with unfitting cosmetics

[tulip forge]

you can turn that off

[coral granite]

It doesnt bother me im pretty comfortable in my lobbies i was just wondering

[rancid schooner]

ah no new modes or events ?

[quasi glade]

I swear im gonna lose my mind, going against another Ruby stack in Gold 3

[tulip forge]

https://tenor.com/view/bonk-doge-gif-24837098

[mystic marsh]

Closest thing is Halloween and Christmas stuff that usually goes away at the end of the month

[urban marsh]

they teased an mvm update but it never came. the game only has like 2-3 devs or something lol

[plain osprey]

also new modes and maps. like a zombie mode in which red team becomes zombies and have to infect blue team. red team zombies has unique abilities for each class. Its quite fun and works fine

and VSH is now a vanilla mode

but they are solely community made, and curated by valve

[urban marsh]

yeah they added a scripting system that maps could use like sourcemod directly, so people can make custom gamemode maps

[shy crown]

[lyric echo]

[mystic marsh]

Scientists still cannot answer this

[plain osprey]

people also sometimes judge you on one play. like last match i played with a teammate whom shitted on me for dying, while i was 18-6 and he was 6-6

[tulip forge]

you taking the bait

[plain osprey]

maybe that

[plain osprey]

but he told me 'sybau' when i told him to calm down\

so i take it as serious then

[hollow basalt]

thats what everyone said last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and

[wanton bison]

and less and less players every season

[smoky raft]

Although I do like the snowman head idea, it's very Embark coded

[bleak arch]

Ladder would be the funniest gadget because goo grenade exists

[heavy hull]

if you wanna see incompetent devs go look at arc raiders

[hollow basalt]

thats what we were told last season, and the season before that, and the season before that, and
we've had the same player count since s4 give or take

[smoky raft]

We hit the highest concurrent player count since launch in S8, looks like they were doing something right

[wanton bison]

stop huffing copium and zoom out of the chart

for the record im displeased with the current state of the game's balance and optimization too but "game is gonna die" is something everyone says about every game every single season

Steam player count is not that important

[mental zealot]

Yo yoo

[smoky raft]

We keep dipping, but that's just the usual season-by-season cycle of live service games

[woeful dock]

better server better server is all it needs

[hollow basalt]

yeah as i said the playercount has stayed the same since mid s3 accoridng to steam charts and we cant tell the playercount on the xbox launcher or consoles so

[smoky raft]

"Triple the steam player count on console" 🔥

[winged herald]

Player count this player count that just let people who enjoy the game play the game

[bleak arch]

How bout we just make sure OUR plays count

[stuck goblet]

They are still pumping out content and you still get a match

[winged herald]

“But it has low player count” ok cool I still love the game

anyway this is a pointless conversation anyway since neither side ever wants to engage anyway one side wants to vent because theyre not being catered to and the other side defends it because they enjoy the game and dont want its core to change just to please the 'broader audience'

[winged herald]

I’m talking about the people who won’t play a game because it has low player count

[smoky raft]

Considering our concurrent player count on steam is usually >15K, we've gotta have at least 60K total

Jerhico would be way cooler, since its been continuously inhabited for way longer and has been modernised to some extent, it would be similar to Fangwai but middle eastern instead of southeast asian

[winged herald]

can we get like an O block season bro light needs his Glock with a switch

[smoky kestrel]

What skin is she holding??

[winged herald]

M11 but it’s like light blue or something

[hollow basalt]

doesnt seem released yet since its not in the battlepass

[compact pumice]

yes, just looked it up, Jericho has been continuously inhabited for roughly 11 thousand years

[smoky raft]

I honestly hope we can get a hacked medieval season, like a map that's half modern urban and half medieval village, with a glitchy hacked area dividing the two.
That was honestly what I was expecting from back in S7 with "The Divide"

[smoky kestrel]

and its not from past either bc I have every Past BP on 100% including bonus pages

[bleak arch]

We should have a half north Korea half South Korea map

[winged herald]

O block season concept:

light: Glock with switch and extended mag (similar to m11 but it’s like faster and runs out of ammo quicker)

Medium: Draco (just a smaller faster AKM)

Heavy: fuck heavy I hate you

New map: O block

[hollow basalt]

I told her you called her cute and this was her reaction

[smoky raft]

Embark is giving all of that to heavy next season, plus a c4 buff and 200 dmg Slam

[lyric echo]

thanks for spreading the word ❤️

[smoky raft]

They'll balance it my taking one damage off of BFR

[hollow basalt]

no problem expect a visit on new years

[bleak arch]

Heavy needs buff lowkey

[compact pumice]

personally I would love to see Norilsk, Siberia as a finals map

[bleak arch]

Ts looks so destroyable

[hollow basalt]

I just came off a ranked match where we got to final round and the other team was running HMH 2x bfr 1x repeater on duck monaco I dont want to hear it

[plain osprey]

bioshock map in the finals

[compact pumice]

Warsaw, Poland would also make a sick Finals map

[bleak arch]

What does duck variant do besides big duck in the sky

[bleak arch]

I would also be happy destroying poland

[smoky raft]

"We've decided light is a little too strong right now, we will be nerfing light's run speed by 10% and giving heavy a 10% move speed buff. We hope this will balance the classes and even out the pick rates, if not we can also shrink heavy's hitbox accordingly"

[half lantern]

i don't know if its just me but this repeater/bfr long range meta is really becoming boring to play and play against

[smoky raft]

Yummers
Cornball 😝

[hollow basalt]

its awful we're all tired of it but embark doesnt want to gut either of them to the ground for somereason

[lilac wing]

finals servers dropped again?

[hollow basalt]

#👂┇game-feedback message @frigid burrow this u?

[smoky raft]

They should nerf Gateway by ~20m, that would fix it for sure
Let's also buff RPG just in case

[half lantern]

yea i don't understand whats stopping them from changing the meta considering how good they're with nerfing something to the ground

[harsh timber]

I run sa12

[half lantern]

i think repeater needs like close mid range damage nerf and make it weaker in closer fights,its too all rounded rn

[lilac wing]

finals servers dropping for u guys too?

[smoky raft]

We also need 105 dmg sword lunge back, it's contributing to the poke meta rn

[hollow basalt]

I think that is why they're so anxious about it because theyve nerfed too many things to the ground already but either way you could gut all the long range weapons to the ground and theyd still be useful in certain maps so yeah I dont get it specially when the etnrie community both casual and competitive is screaming at them to do so

[winged herald]

imagine we got a Glock in finals and one of the skins is O block’s executioner and like it’s the king Von Glock

[quartz hare]

till next season

[winged herald]

BREACH DRILL CANNOT BE THIS GOOD

[lyric echo]

the elusive breach charge enjoyer

[winged herald]

Ok proxy makes sense

[half lantern]

i mean having a close range damage reduction is always an option, like for example 60% damage within 10m, and 80% damage 10-20, i think its just that its been around for too long and that there are already people who play this game because of this playstyle, and its hard to balance this with a more brawling playstyle

[quartz hare]

explosion + flashbang = 😍

[lone osprey]

LETS NERF M60

[quartz hare]

speaking of flashbang, time to annoy everyone in lobby

[smoky raft]

I remember back when Medium was only "balanced" by not having destruction 🤣
I'm glad it isn't the biggest issue in the finals anymore, but I miss being able to justifiably hate on medium for it's movement.

Now Heavy is the new golden child

[lone osprey]

Melee players wanna ruin the game for skilled players

[hollow basalt]

It's actually not hard to balance it at all as I said in some maps youcould gut the long range options to the ground and they'd still be viable, it'd just encourage teams to play the way they want to play instead of having every team play long range poke

Hi I'm new

Hi new I’m tupi

[torn solstice]

hey, so i have an embark account tied to my epic id, but my main arc account is on steam. is it possible to unlink my epic account and relink to my steam so i can get my finals cosmetics on steam?

[half lantern]

that is true, i guess just having some of the weapons show up in the patch notes could upset a lot of players and thats why

[wanton rune]

Does anyone use the light class here

[winged herald]

pretty popular class yeah

[edgy lagoon]

Yup

[lyric echo]

the secret Finals RTS game

[wanton rune]

Okay I need help

[winged herald]

What is it?

[hollow basalt]

you dont need to unlink the epic account you can just link your steam account to the embark account you've got your epic account linked to

[wanton rune]

What Is the best light class gun

[edgy lagoon]

ARN

[winged herald]

Arn-220 is the most versatile

[torn solstice]

it wont mess w my arc progress?

[golden marten]

MELEE PLAYERS GO BACK TO COD BACK TO COD

[wanton rune]

Ok

[hollow basalt]

nah that's tied to your embark account not your platform

[edgy lagoon]

you just have to go to embark I’d> connections>link steam account

[torn solstice]

ok ill try it out ty

[wanton rune]

I'll try the arn out thanks 👍

[edgy lagoon]

dagger is not a low skill weapon…

[lone osprey]

Sh1900

[smoky raft]

Embark tends to balance based off of pick rates, if something off-meta is getting played too often (like sword in S6) they're absolutely gutting it's breakpoints, but if a generic meta poke weapon is getting played specifically because it's strong they won't nerf it because they're scared of pushback

[edgy lagoon]

be quiet

[lone osprey]

Sr-84

[torn solstice]

ikik but i first played finals on epic, but my main account is steam which is where i play arc on. it wouldnt let me link my epic and steam on one embark account, so i have to link the steam embark with the epic embark.. if that makes sense lol

Dagger is my favorite gun

[covert flax]

EMBARK, PLEASE MAKE THIS A SPECTATOR VIEW OPTION

[golden marten]

Sword best light weapon too damn op REMOVE MELEE. 😤

[edgy lagoon]

Oh, you have two accounts. you should directly ask embark for help

[golden marten]

There nothing you can do bruh😭✌️✌️

[torn solstice]

yeah im researching rn, this is the message i got "The account you are trying to connect has content saved from an Embark game and cannot be merged at this time."

[hollow basalt]

this makes the current meta miserable btw it's why i havent played ranked extensively since like s5 or 6 because long range poke meta is miserable to engage with but its the meta weve had since

[winged herald]

It’s so easy to fight 😭

[smoky raft]

No joke, I've unironically run this in TDM and it slaps.
I had more fun with Riot Shield Turret but you can absolutely guarantee a win in any building by setting up a turret, a glitch trap, and some proximity sensors to know when somebody is coming

[winged herald]

I don’t like setup melee builds, because if I don’t set up I can’t do as much as I can

[hollow basalt]

reacts on my machine

[tepid flame]

there are many counters, the easiest are jump pad, goo, zipline, demat

[smoky raft]

I don't even have to hear them activate it or see them anymore, for some reason the glitchy sound effect really sets me off and I can pinpoint them based off of that alone from like 5m away

[golden marten]

Yeah like then when you add specs in the mix its covers all weaknesses might as well call this game chivalry 3

[distant mauve]

M11 grapple has been my most successful light build

[bleak arch]

Increase riot shield size by 100%

[tepid flame]

well that's an odd spec pick

[smoky raft]

Fr, like, how am I supposed to escape a dagger player with dash?
I've only got 3x their range and the exact same movement capabilities!

[lone osprey]

If you played tracer you can play light

[bleak arch]

Tracking dart + Arn has been winning me some solid games

[smoky raft]

Grapple is kinda fire, it's objectively worse than dash but you get a serious dopamine hit from swinging around

I think this game is finished and I can only exist in the hyper casual modes

[bleak arch]

Grapple is fire but it's only in Yellow 💔

[bleak arch]

Sounds fun, why don't you do that

[tepid flame]

nah I have hopes for the next updates

[covert marsh]

just want to check are servers down

[smoky raft]

MORE HEAVY BUFFS 🔥

[tepid flame]

ABOUT THAT...

[hollow basalt]

ranked sucks cause meta sucks but every other mode is great

[tough atlas]

I like things a little competitive but in ranked i get diamond stacks and in casual cash out i get ranked stacks

[smoky raft]

We're bringing breach charges down to ONE CHARGE 🗣

[covert marsh]

only askin cuz medal servers are down and I dont feel like launching just to get stuck in a loading screen

[smoky raft]

SAME FOR THERMAL BORE💥

[bleak arch]

Definitely and give c4 3 charges

[tough atlas]

I get ranked stacks in both cash out modes that have experience to the point of being useless for learning typically
I’m not saying it’s bad that they’re good, but as someone who is worse it’s hard to learn when the gap is that wide

[bleak arch]

I miss double c4 double frag 150dmg RPG heavy

[half lantern]

why doesn't c4 get 2 charges anyways

[tough atlas]

whatever anyways this isn’t a game mode problem it’s a not enough people playing problem

[smoky raft]

In fact, I think gateway only needs one charge 💯

[bleak arch]

They overcompensated when they nerfed nukes

[smoky raft]

And goo should be exclusive to HEAVY 🤗

[bleak arch]

Mine arming time is something they could also get rid of

[silk frigate]

all i want for christmas is reverting all changes of melee weapons

[smoky raft]

All coming to you 🫵 in the next balance patch of THE FINALS 😁

[half lantern]

when there isn't enough players to sustain a game mode i think changes need to be made, its both the game mode's problem and also not enough people playing

[ancient badge]

grapple has the highest skill ceiling in the game

[smoky raft]

Oh I'm ngl I thought the Snowball Blitz came in 9.3, I could've sworn that was the third Thursday of this season

[tough atlas]

Idk how else they could change cashout to where I can hop on midday on the weekend and not fight teams with previous ruby players 5 games in a row

[bleak arch]

Bro you just click where you wanna go not that hard

[silk frigate]

also for christmas i want embark to finally do some proper advertisement

[little socket]

yea that would be good

[smoky kestrel]

Thank god I get griefed out by accounts like this every game

[glossy rune]

Santa is throwing you into the furnace

[empty salmon]

That what m talking about it sometimes these levels playing like 100 level

[half lantern]

darth vader is that you

[smoky kestrel]

Yes bc everybody is just smurfing or flat out cheating atp, thats the reason this game will always stay nieche if not die, Diamond rewards get removed from WT one day after its being announced "We hear your feedback type shit" but absolute abysmal BULLSHIT like this gets ignored for 6 seasons straight now, fuck this matchmaking atp

[silk frigate]

Then reverting balance changes for melee weapons is my death wish, at this point, im ready for anything just to see that melee weapons back in good conditions where they are menacing at close ranges

[golden marten]

Try stealing a cashout from a melee player😂😂IMPOSSIBLE😂😂🤣

[smoky raft]

I still want an Arc Raiders outfit in The Finals, even if it would technically cost $40

[plain osprey]

Do the servers rubberband? im in the practice range doing shooting gallery, and it rolls back a level sometimes

[cerulean lintel]

Me when light teammate

[empty salmon]

M with you man season after season I hate this game after season 6 everything got changed too much of hackers with aimbot and wall hack and the finals doesn't want to do something about it and now new levels playing like 100 and too much lags

[smoky raft]

Fr like I only have a slightly faster ttk than them and if I miss it doesn't kill 😭

[empty salmon]

Yesterday I was playing ranked and on my way on final then the server got down for now reason I think I hate this shit to be honest

[low prawn]

t

just levelling up

[stuck goblet]

Chinese new year and valentines day soon

[cerulean lintel]

Idk, usually when I play its flawless 99% of the time

[silk frigate]

yesterday was massive AWS outage, so most of the services got down

[lone osprey]

Grapple s F TIER

[plain osprey]

valentines day better brings back the heart eyes
