They have to die during the emote... so use a gas grenade or mine and just spam it til some unfortunate soul walks into it. Preferably near the cashout terminal.

[obsidian solar]

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here's some suggestions, I know all of these together would make the shield pretty strong but even 1 or 2 would be enough to improve it so much!:

• While blocking movement speed should be the same as walking (increasing block movement speed would help a lot in pushing and giving your teammates support)
• Lunge distance (90% of the fight become a chase you can't win, the other classes have ways to block enemies, slow them down or catch up to them, even heavies have RPG to finish people off if they use sledge)
• Increase damage from 84 to 90 (to kill heavies in 4 hits instead of 5)
• Add a charge like attack, to activate it press the attack button while blocking kinda like charge N slam, of course less powerful and without the destruction effect, it would add variety, also all the other melee weapons have two attacks)

IMPROVE MELEE TRACKING:

• Some weapons like the Dagger have an insane lock that is not needed, on the other hand the Riot Shield has a very weak lock, you can't even hit people in your face sometimes. Consider increasing the angle at which the lock works and reduce the lock strenght on the Dagger

FIX THE DAGGER BACKSTAB:

• Backstabs with the Dagger are the most incosistent thing I've ever seen, a lot times either nothing happens or it's not backstab even though you're right behind them and other times it is when you're literally in front of them.
• Increase the backstab hitboxes because the latency of the servers causes this problems
• Make it so you can hold the backstab and it's not a forced animation, revert it like it was in the Open Beta

Please add Streamer Mode, which hides or modifies some of elements to prevent Stream sniping:

• Ability to change player name to random name (e.g. ContestentXXXX)
• Ability to hide player name client-side, which does the same with above
• Ability to hide matchmaking timer
• Ability to hide matchmaking region displayed on menu (e.g. Region: North America)

[vernal kayak]

give a "gold card" in final 5 level of battle pass that can be exchanged for bundle of 1100multibucks one time use (cannot be broken to smaller value), can stack of higher value bundle, possibly be a free tier reward so more players will grind(?)

also for low gravity give recoil to shooting mid air? like if you'd get pushed back a bit by shotting rpg etc

[dusky apex]

I didn't get a teammate for a whole 11 minute game plz fix

[late peak]

game studios haves to earn something... Game is completely f2p so atleast let them earn with cosmetics.

[vernal kayak]

hey im not suggesting all the cosmetics goes free its also not a big bundle exchange.. its just makes grinding a bit more motivational... there are also games that give free cosmetics while also selling.. 🤷‍♂️

earning a free 1100 bundle exchange per season is a drop in the bucket for a game that has new bundles every week no?

[late peak]

The Game gives lots of cosmetics in events... There wont be free shop bundle tokens etc... This destroys the whole purpose of the shops.
You buy the battlepass for the battlepass rewards and not for the shop. Also you get lots of credits out of the Battlepass - Enough to buy a shop skin.

[tough topaz]

There is some really creepy ambience on some spots on Vegas, I have a recording, will post later. Almost a sort of a yelling that is muffled so it sounds like it’s coming from another room with eerie static. No clue why this was added, makes me shit my pants when I’m wandering around in Vegas.

[last kraken]

I think to fix ranked they should make it only one defibrillator per team they need to add some type of skill based matchmaking as well because it feels like third-party galore or you can be fully winning have one slight slip up because you're fighting two different teams and you lose it all takes way too long to rank up and honestly very repetitive only getting to second round sometimes and making no progress at all I hope season 2 fixes most of these issues but nonetheless almost a diamond hate this game and love it with a passion

[fading linden]

PLEASE add like custom lobbies so if more then 3 people in my friend group wanna play finals we can do like 3v3s n shit or like a 5v5 game mode, like 6 of us play finals occasionally and we have to switch out players between matches

[late peak]

Idk if this should be a normal rewarded round tho... Since you could let each others win.
If its not rewarded then its a cool idea!

[fading linden]

Well yeah custom games is just a private thing to mess around with friends, if you could get achievements n xp then obv that would mean boosting. Also then have the host be able to control like in game events or other variables would be cool

[nova saffron]

Is anyone else getting "System Integrity Violation" "Error code TFAV1012"? I am not cheating in any capacity: bots, macros, crosshair overlay, programs... etc. I am still getting these messages even while running the game vanilla with all other programs closed out via task manager. I do not want this bug to cause me to lose my account. I have been kicked out of many tournament games resulting in bans which cause me to not play the game for an hour(s). Its annoying having to tell my buddies "It happened again. Im going to bed". Any fixes?

[severe geyser]

the game optimization is so bad, prev updates were much better and I get higher fps

more data in the career please.

ranked wins/losses, kills/deaths
cashouts, steals, etc.
seasonal ratings, seasonal stats (stats reset in the career or it has a "dedicated seasonal stats" (this should make sense if you are all just gonna reset the rankings anyways

more MORE MORE ranked rewards. getting a diamond skin that I wont use the future is not a reward. also why only a diamond sticker? why no diamond keychain...

It's not fun to play or play against. The most no skill cheap shit in the game.

It does too much DMG for how much HP it has.
Start fight with rpg or C4 and swap to lewis that has slightly more dps than an akm with more bullets...
Auto shotgun also best shotgun in the game, in a "tank" class

[forest hound]

I'm just here voicing my perspective for the embark studios, but your game is so broken right now and idk how anyone else is getting to play it as I'm typing this because I cannot even get through a single game without facing a system integrity violation. I've done everything from doing the secure boot in my bios, enabling SVM mode in BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling not only the entire game but the anti cheat software, I've even resorted to switching to windows 11 my entire operating system and NOTHING has worked, some more processes I've donbe while typing this is disabling core isolation and I also have one of the cleanest task managers on planet earth before I launch this game. IM JUST HOPING THEY THIS SO I GET MY MONEYS WORTH OUT OF THE BATTLE PASS AND THE REWARDS IM SUPPOSED TO GET!!!!!!! lmk if ANYONE ELSE idds having this issue ASSAAPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flat peak]

how many points do u lose when you disconnect in ranked? my mate and i where in the finals my pc crashed and there wasnt enough time to reconnect i had the same points as him am back at 0 points so now hes 870 points ahead did i lose 870 points? by crashing my pc?

[gleaming frost]

I waited for long and still nothing happened. If you want to listen to whining demographic enjoy dead game on consoles. No your data was wrong since you took controller data from PC. you needed to get controller data from consoles only.. 30+ minutes ranked queue during prime time eu and turning on cross play is not a solution. Furst if all crossplay option still does not work on consoles for over a month, and you stand absolutely no chance with against PC on console even before AA nerf. Support told me I cannot get my money back since you scammed me. Killed the game for console players. Its time to talk to EU commission for consumer rights since you clearly scammed people on consoles with bait and switch tactic.

idk if anyone else has this problem but whenever im in a party with friend i disconnect from it after everygame and sometimes i struggle to load into the game without disconnecting, might just be my awful wifi but idk

I would gladly approve less events and added cosmetics for better bug squishing and something to spend ingame currency on. Maybe next season we will see this, but I just feel like the mindless grinding events are repetitive and I feel like i am losing interest in this game when I had such high hopes that I would have a hard time putting it down.

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here's some suggestions, I know all of these together would make the shield pretty strong but even 1 or 2 would be enough to improve it so much!:

• While blocking movement speed should be the same as walking (increasing block movement speed would help a lot in pushing and giving your teammates support)
• Lunge distance (90% of the fight become a chase you can't win, the other classes have ways to block enemies, slow them down or catch up to them, even heavies have RPG to finish people off if they use sledge)
• Increase damage from 84 to 90 (to kill heavies in 4 hits instead of 5)
• Add a charge like attack, to activate it press the attack button while blocking kinda like charge N slam, of course less powerful and without the destruction effect, it would add variety, also all the other melee weapons have two attacks)

IMPROVE MELEE TRACKING:

• Some weapons like the Dagger have an insane lock that is not needed, on the other hand the Riot Shield has a very weak lock, you can't even hit people in your face sometimes. Consider increasing the angle at which the lock works and reduce the lock strenght on the Dagger

FIX THE DAGGER BACKSTAB:

• Backstabs with the Dagger are the most incosistent thing I've ever seen, a lot times either nothing happens or it's not backstab even though you're right behind them and other times it is when you're literally in front of them.
• Increase the backstab hitboxes because the latency of the servers causes this problems
• Make it so you can hold the backstab and it's not a forced animation, revert it like it was in the Open Beta

[pulsar prawn]

If you have only two or less players on your team there needs to be a lower respawn time.

[thorny wren]

that's a great idea 👆🏻

[worldly nexus]

Add a feature to give a feedback reply as to when someone received a punishment from your report on them

[thorn arch]

Why should riot shield get the advantages of the other melee weapons??? No other weapon can block bullets so why not give sword and hammer a big shield as well then to make it fair lol

[sour bane]

3x Defib needs to go. It's so unfun to play against in ranked

[violet elbow]

there needs to be some kind of check for basic brain function and a double digit IQ before someone is let into ranked, low elo lobbies are genuinely unplayable

[tired thistle]

I think there should be a feature where we can save our own custom outfits in the Style section since it'd mean you don't have to select everything again when none of your contestants have the stuff you want to use equipped. I made a reddit post with some possible concept art: https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1at8s1s/i_think_itd_be_great_if_there_was_a_feature_where/

[night maple]

please god nerf nukes

[dark herald]

the whole point of a long respawn timer is to encourage either reviving your teammates or running away long enough for them to respawn. lowering the timer just makes killing counterintuitive

[keen niche]

nerf the C4 into oblivion, nukes were fun at first but now every team uses them to the point that's mandatory. Getting surprise one shot constantly is not enjoyable.

Day 4 of requesting a snowglobe skin for the pyro grenade. Think of how much better the game would be if you could swirl that thing around and see snow fall on a tiny little village inside your grenade before you toss it right at a heavy's fat stupid face. Everyone would be happy, the game will be immediately 10/10 with a world record metacritic score i guarantee it

[pulsar prawn]

Well Waiting for revival when you are the only player on your team dead or alive because matchmaking is busted is not a swell tactic.

[obsidian solar]

You talk like the shield actually covers you fully or block other melee weapons 😂

Of course it doesnt cover you fully? Tf Do you expect your character to drag the shield on the ground?? "My shield should cover me 360 degrees and touch the ground as well" 🤡

[sour bane]

I love this game so much but a few issues that makes its longevity to me a bit muddled

Casual vs. ranked community. Casuals find Light overpowered, but in ranked, Light is as good as useless.

Stacking gadgets is really unfun. Defib doesn't feel OP if there's only one Medium, but when there's three, it's a major pain in the ass especially in ranked.

Medium still feels like the best all-rounder class and I don't see how the meta won't continue to be Medium dominant, which it is in ranked by the far majority.

Light's team utility is really poor. In a ranked context, if you're not fragging, you offer absolutely nothing to the team. You're actually detrimental to the team because Med/Heavy all have great team utility, while you have none. Glitch Grenades absolutely suck with a wonky hitbox.

Ranked matchmaking needs lots of work.. They say it's more MMR based, but I have to call bollocks because the bronze/silvers I get in my team generally play like Bronze and Silvers, and they get outmatched in my Plat/Diamond lobbies.

Spawns have way too much RNG, and you can easily get screwed over in Cash Outs that YOU own by bad spawns.

Sound of enemy footsteps have zero direction and often simply can't be heard.

[dark herald]

the whole point of the game is teamwork
if you dont like your randoms find a stack to play with

[pulsar sail]

and what happens if one of your teammates leave? You shouldnt be punished for your teammates leaving. Plenty of other games have that mechanic.

[pulsar prawn]

GUNS IDEA
I have an idea for the game, since we already bought everything in the weapons store and the vrs is no longer useful, I propose an idea to spend the vrs on xp for the weapons, that is, unlock weapon skins with the vrs since the vrs in a future will stop being useful since we bought everything, in fact I already have everything and the vrs is of no use to me, so I propose that the vrs can be spent on weapon xp and also an idea of ​​adding a new weapon, a crossbow for the character with agility with great damage, the crossbow takes a long time to reload, and a simple bow for the medium one that shoots arrows with a normal speed and takes damage depending on how long I left it stretching the arrow, it will do more damage, for the big guy a new rocket but it is a cannon and it takes too long to reload but it makes everything explode and it can make holes in buildings or houses

[merry totem]

My only material feedback (love the game, tons of fun): (1) I've seen persuasive arguments for making special events more interesting, entertaining, and enabling new strategies and gameplay (see Ekazo on yt), and (2) I'm being more and more persuaded by many people suggesting that cashouts would be improved by having periodic 'dividends' or 'cash withdrawals,' maybe at 25, 50, and 75% of the way through, with a larger lump sum for the team in control at 100%. Several people have commented on it helping with 3rd partying and 3v3v3v3 dynamics in qualifying rounds. Keep up all the great work. It's obviously a huge thing you have undertaken, so it's especially appreciated.

There should be a way to punish passive playstyles after reaching the money required threshold

[glossy sorrel]

NERF HEAVY your losing all your player base every month you lose 50% of your player base look at steam charts you have failed to nerf c4 barrel 3 times. do something with your game please have a team to update the game to favor the compettive aspect of the game PLEASE DO SOMETHING

[open summit]

Suggestion: make adhd electro hard bass music as intro/emote/winning celebration

[glass stirrup]

its

[modern wedge]

put sword and dagger in one weapon

also rpg/turret should do percent dmg based on what class its damaging

[jaunty pawn]

Who can I contact about the game still running in steam when you exit out of it? This is the only game I have to close twice

[balmy moon]

give nama tama a business suit

[tribal bramble]

I don't think it's fair that I lose 80 fame points when someone decides to disconnect after the first wipe before the first cashout in the first round. Why am I being penalized for somebody else leaving? It's not like I can do anything to stop him from leaving

[zinc notch]

Idea; Add the challenges list to the escape menu so we can see whats left and what to do.

[molten trail]

remove nuke

[quick coyote]

Have you considered that all the nerfs are the reason players are leaving? Game is pretty boring now ngl

[buoyant shell]

add facial hair to character customization

^^^^^^^^ and please make attractive looking faces so many goofy ahh ones atm

[lunar fossil]

coming from battlefield 2042 here(long time BF player since BF3 for reference) and I like the finals however there are some things I'd like to see changes/added/enhanced

1. game modes I would certainly like to see a 6v6 TDM of some sort, even a tug of war type 6v6 single objective conquest mode.
   2.I hope you plan to add additional AR/SMG to the game, I understand you likely won't add attachments as this would add a ton more work and weapon balance but I've only been playing for 2 weeks and feel like I've got a good grasp on the weapons that are available which is going to be stale quickly.
2. VOIP out of the box on PS5 the audio settings was set to 100, I found setting it to 3/4 was optimal, otherwise you get feedback through other players, this wasn't clear and I had to mess with the values on my own to figure it out with friends several days in. Might be the reason why many people aren't using voip(I know I've disabled it many times because of what was EXTREMELY loud audio that likely was not the fault of the person but rather in the settings). You might want to set the value to 5 or 10 out of the box and give a description of what it does exactly
   4.think about us console folk when you consider equipment, because of the way you implemented certain equipment such as C4 where you first need to "equip" the gadget, then another button to throw the equipment and then yet another button to detonate the gadget it means for a controller player you must sacrifice something, either you sacrifice ease of changing between gadgets or you just don't use the gadget. C4, medium shield, and even the Heavy sledge hammer create these issues because of how you have the bindings set. Most people like to reuse their controller configs R1/L1 for aim/fire, L2 for grenade, R2 for spotting or a grenade then D pad for opening gadget. Would be nice to use L1 to throw C4 and R1 to detonate C4 in that scenario. As it sits right now you cant use aim to aim AND throw C4 which is an issue.

[tame pivot]

you're right the game was so much better when it release and you could do nukes with every throwable and every single engagement was decided by a giant ball of death taking you out of the game instantly before you could even react

[sullen cobalt]

improve ranked, feels too long to rank up, the amount of time you spend playing game after game, to possibly lose near the end and only gain such a small amount ... 😭

[spare cape]

We need box braids and dreads for black history month ❗️🤣 not a joke tho fr more black hairstyles in the future pls definitely box braids would go stupid hard also don’t forget we need haptic trigger support for ps5 ❗️

[delicate notch]

Pls include a mode where I can play with multiple friends, hosting a match where my friends can join different teams and such 😊

[zinc notch]

Solution; Make it so that attaching anything to any barrel is canceled, permanent solution to the obviously game breaking c4+redbarrel problem. It would be also more fun to engage in a team fight and rather than getting wiped before we engage the fights. Also obvious one is to add more guns and modes so we have some variety, the previous modes were fun aswell but they were all solo as this game is not as fun playing solo.

[jaunty pawn]

Hey give us a party up feature like in halo 3!!!

[glossy sorrel]

are you ok lmaooo the game needs to nerf heavy and recon nerf had to happen I play recon but it was too broken

[quick coyote]

Oh, yeah, but like I just don't find the game as fun. Like light has been nerfed into the ground, the invis and db nerfs killed casual light players, then recon came next, so yeah, most players have flocked to heavy.

But honestly I'll take flying exploding cannister, wall hacks, and invisible two tappers in a messy glorious chaotic mess over this anyway.

The game is so water downed not it just feels like another shooter with destructible environments.

Which with the way the game is going will probably start to take a back seat in development cycles.

I'm sure mesh shield will be nerfed soon too, down to 500 hp. Goo gun will be nerfed 10 rounds.

RPG will be nerfed to do only environment damage.

Eventually will be back to triple medium meta again. FCAR will get a nerf so it takes one more bullet to kill.

Light is still in a bad place but I guess eventually the other two will be nerfed enough

[cerulean wolf]

Can we add some decent hair styles in the game!

[solid narwhal]

Add input based matchmaking and a xim/cheat detection rework so we can have kbm on console
Please and thank you.

[glacial knot]

i have lost so much brain cell while reading all these suggestions. OMG

[delicate needle]

Lol I'd be surprised if they could gather anything from this section

[spark girder]

Here’s a great suggestion

1. Opacity settings for in-game UI elements like objectives/teammate skulls etc.

2. Make said UI fade when looking in their direction, not just when ADS.

[minor gulch]

Display some way for us to see what out teammates have equipped, could be useful for strategising.

(And also like pls fix game balance)

[forest hound]

I'm just here voicing my perspective for the embark studios, but your game is so broken right now and idk how anyone else is getting to play it as I'm typing this because I cannot even get through a single game without facing a system integrity violation. I've done everything from doing the secure boot in my bios, enabling SVM mode in BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling not only the entire game but the anti cheat software, I've even resorted to switching to windows 11 my entire operating system and NOTHING has worked, some more processes I've donbe while typing this is disabling core isolation and I also have one of the cleanest task managers on planet earth before I launch this game. IM JUST HOPING THEY THIS SO I GET MY MONEYS WORTH OUT OF THE BATTLE PASS AND THE REWARDS IM SUPPOSED TO GET!!!!!!! lmk if ANYONE ELSE idds having this issue ASSAAPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zinc notch]

you already have that

[scenic crag]

Game is fun'ish but the sluggish mouse controls hold it back severely, with maxed out mouse sensitivity I shouldn't be rotating at best 1/4 of the way... don't even need to zoom to slow the camera down when it's already slow to begin with...

I know this issue isn't new as I googled 2+ month old reddit posts with it...

Edit: I shouldn't have to set my mouse speed to ludicrous just for one game... where it's unwieldy in every other aspect on my PC...

Double Edit: makes the menus in game a pain to navigate as well...

[hallow ruin]

Yeah nerf the most useless class out of 3 again
Why not

[molten trail]

Remove nuke

[fathom depot]

TF is the nuke?

[hidden flint]

Why does rpg do the damage it does honestly, I feel like it should be more used to blowing up walls/objective control. Double heavy teams just get to one shot lights and mediums with a near hit scan aoe explosion seems a bit off, maybe 120 dmg would be more fair instead of 140?

[lean grove]

Hey so uh idk why but my sensitivity went from pretty normal to incredibly slow, like so slow that looking any direction takes me forever... Even if I change my sensitivity to max it still feels pretty slow. I do not know if this a bug but please increase the sensitivity options. ( Also wondering how I could fix this issue )

[opal hemlock]

Revert the nerf to the revolver, thanks.

[glossy scaffold]

yea revolver probably needs a buff

[quick coyote]

revolver is pretty pointless now

[sinful vessel]

it was good in the closed beta, idk what they did to it after but ya

[dry laurel]

What is up with always being kicked? I can not get through a single game.

[tall arrow]

I think passive heal should be faster on light class a little slower on medium and really slow on heavy

[fiery tartan]

It'd be really nice if the timer was better in games
For example in quick cash, it's really annoying when the announcers say 30 seconds left of the match when the cashout is going to be in like, ~20 seconds.
It causes misinformation and it's really frustrating when you're trying to compare times to see just how close you need to be

[thick sable]

Revolver is teetering on the line of being completely busted. But I have come to accept the fact that if they buffed the range again, with the bloom reduction, it'll be problematic. I wouldn't mind them reducing the reload time though.

[opal minnow]

ive been saying this since the start but i think embark should do a weekly highlight reel. really add into the immersion of it being a game show and upload it to there YT page

[daring igloo]

ADD A KILLCAM !

[minor gulch]

I think evasive dash is in a good place right now from a balance perspective, ESPECIALLY when we consider how weak light is at the moment

[opal hemlock]

I just want them to revert the changes they made to the range. It was perfectly fine and people would still use the FCAR like its going out of style

[keen lily]

this game could really use some more maps, it's getting stale way too fast

[median hollow]

Launches to black screen on GFN devices

[lavish shard]

Make a ranked mod more balanced "pro"
And let the quik play like this for fun

[open summit]

It actually sucks that the diamond skin for ak was only available during beta now we cannot get them anymore ever again, some of us didn't have time and got life to live, imo the diamond camos should've only started to be available on official game launch

[molten trail]

ur mum

[dim owl]

LOl thats crazy

[quick coyote]

bring back solos

[celest mauve]

Stun gun however is a cancer to this game.

[minor gulch]

I can't say I've experienced it enough to say anything on the topic, but

Every time I've been hit with it, I've been able to recover from it, and I've only died to it once-ish I think?

[viral crane]

https://youtube.com/shorts/3VMouwOvGMM?si=8-lAlgqknxvcpa59

[open summit]

Honestly the only good situation for stun gun is when someone is stealing cash out or agains melee opponents, if you're a good player you can easily kill the light

[uneven panther]

i would LOVE to see certain limited time maps that correspond to the events

[fair willow]

Not sure if it's been discussed already but is there a new system for matching players within ranked? I played 10 games in a row as a Gold 4 and I didn't have 1 single teammate who was even gold, ket alone a rank higher than me. I'm decent but I feel like im expected to carry lower skilled players every round now.

[lofty crypt]

Fcar skin NOW

[glossy scaffold]

why have they released like 5 ak skins and just 1 fcar one

[hollow barn]

One suggestion I would like to make is that I think you should consider adjusting the regeneration time. For such a frenetic game with elements where there are more than one team in battle on several occasions. Waiting so long to start regenerating health gradually tends to break the game's pace.

-A general adjustment to the time itself could be beneficial in general and especially to the light class to be able to perform hit and run in a more fluid way and not so inflexible. I may be wrong and that explains my opinion about it.

[brittle quail]

i dont think the aps turret should absolutely shut down the CL40 and GL. seems a bit much

[opal hemlock]

Make revolver great again

[fossil abyss]

Do you play qp or ranked? I can understand if you play qp, but it's a nonissue in ranked. The biggest issue in ranked is nukes. It's as if every single engagement involves multiple nukes, and it's about the most brainless way to play and they still do massive damage post many nerfs. I point this out because I think Embark's biggest challenge is balancing for both casual and comp play. I can see a bunch of lights running around stunning in qp being awfully frustrating, but nuking in comp is a cancer and destroys the skill gap.

[celest mauve]

Its when they shoot you from behind which they do regular I have come up against countless teams of 3 light players all with stun guns. I don't think a game like this should have stuns like that give. @open summit Not if they get you from behind and have a half decent shot. @fossil abyss that is true its mostly in QP I find its an issue. I don't see many lights in ranked. I should have been more specific.

[modern wedge]

especially for melee users lol
i still dont really get why they thought of adding melee if they didnt have good balancing for it

[spare fable]

It keeps taking my preset charms stickers and animations after every game

[brittle quail]

i still think nukes are strong. sure the range is reduced but i get a few kills every round as heavy

[vague sigil]

ive noticed an issue after firing the stun gun, possibly when attempting to switch back to your weapon (im on console with directional equipping so swapping back would be my Y button) that instead of switching back it will keep my stun gun in my hand forcing me to, again use my swap button

[fossil abyss]

Gotcha. Also, my intent wasn't to call you out, I totally get your point. I would just like for Embark to balance for ranked if they have to choose. If skill is outweighed by nukes in comp, the mode is pointless.

[molten elm]

This game is fun, looking forward to S2. That is all 👍

[celest mauve]

I fully agree about Nukes too. I just wish this game didn't have that Hard stun in it aswell give the lights something more useful. Nukes are the worst I will say that I don't get how they just don't make it so when canisters get attachment then they just won't move off the ground. Disable it and that way it can never be used beyond a static bomb.

[fierce nebula]

please remove vegas. shtty map

[quick coyote]

Just looking at the state of game balance: Supercell would've done a better job balancing this game, and these guys have done some atrocious balance changes over their games.

[silk mango]

I had it happen once but I’ve not played too too much as I can’t find ppl to play with. Random teammates have been rude fs tho

[quick coyote]

are my wins on stats supposed to be going down??

[wary gulch]

I reckon they should add keyboard support to consoles so i can play with my mate
Does anybody know if thats coming soon?

[vague sigil]

light would be so much more viable if either 1) you get more than 60 hp after being defibbed (quite unsustainable without a heal beam) or 2) if the hp regen speed was increased for light. either or. otherwise i think light is pretty well balanced

[stable lagoon]

Add breast and thigh sliders for character customization, it will recapture the playerbase it lost

[brittle quail]

everyone hates vegas

[soft gorge]

Add MnK support support back on console or at least tell us if you won't add it back so we can stop waiting for it. The "we do not have any news on that topic" is too generic, a "yes we are adding soon" or "no, we are not adding" is the type of answer we want.

I would suggest friends' activity display for example (In main menu\ playing rank in round 2 \ playing ranked tournament in the final round....)

[muted void]

There is a major issue with the balancing between light stun and every melee weapon

[daring fossil]

weekly plea to reduce XP requirement for level 6 weapon skins. It appears to be 100xp per kill, with a 162,000xp level requirement, that means if you manage to pull off 10 kills every match, that's 162 matches for one weapon level (at least 40 hours). leveling utility takes a fraction of that time (I maxed breach charges and frag grenades week 2 after launch). I use the LH1 and the revolver, LH1 is 3/4 of the way through level 5 and the revolver is half way through level 5, I have almost 200 hours of in-match time (based on what my in-game stats say) with over 900 matches. It's a bit ridiculous. almost 3 weeks ive been grinding the LH1 already for a single level. It's frankly ridiculous someone did that math and thought it was ok (pre-xp patch when you only got like 50xp a kill).

[stable lagoon]

Add facial hair customization

elevator cashouts are the least fun part of a match

Dude I wish we could buy singular pieces from the bundles. I get why they're bundled, but chances of me using some rando wep on a random class is close to 0 😭

[daring fossil]

agreed, barely anyone is spending $28CAD on the football bundle, but there's a few things I would buy from bundles if they were $3 a piece. I'm sitting on $40 worth of credits and not buying anything because im not buying a bundle with 3 gun skins for guns I never use just for a charm.

[quick coyote]

Legit question, maybe someone can answer. I see a lot of players complaining about things like, invis, recon, shields, nukes, turrets, RPGS, C4, FCAR, DB, Lewis, grenade rifle, just... Basically everything.

Why are you even playing this game? Because it's free? Like, by the time you're done nerfing everything, the game will be ..... Boring?

Please explain. People think the player count is going down because it's imbalanced but maybe it's just not fun now?

[vernal swallow]

Blawg please add a white tank top so I can actually see the body paint I’m wearing 😢

[inland osprey]

there should be a system in place to stop people from leaving beacause it ruins the game for others. maybe a ban system or the team gets a boost in something to make upo for the lost team mate.

[severe wave]

Me and tons of other players wait for season 2. If they dont nerf heavy and nukes by season 2 i think the game will have a very low player count and be a complete casual game. This game cant be competetive with things like fk nukes and stuff like the rpg etc... Atleast its a good casual game i guess

[quick coyote]

the only thing that's killing this game is the matchmaking for ranked. that's it.

[thick tapir]

People want a balanced game they can sink hours into, no point playing a game for along time when all the meta stuff is boring stuff you can find in most other games, the reason this games so unique is the destructive environments but they're not very fun when the same thing thay blows up the house also 1 shots you, and the game is chaotic which is fun but when stuff goes invis you cant really enjoy the chaos as much since now you gotta be super cautious of invis and recon, or the fact the game has super unique stuff like goo gun+ hammer, sword, throwing knifes but it's all outshined by basic ass guns you can get in any game. People want the unique features to take center stage and that's just not happening atm.

[severe wave]

No its not... Tons of people in this discord said what i said and people i played ranked with. This game is so unbalanced right now its crazy. Your whine about the matchmaking because your prob silver. Matchmaking is bad yh i agree but theres more reasons why people quit.. Heavys are a big reason. When the medium meta was there most people were so bad the same players who were shit became "good" because they started playing heavy. Hmmm maybe because they have nukes now which are insanely busted, an rpg which does more than half of mediums damage with one click, a 1000hp shield which is bullshit and the most hp with insane dps at the same time. BUT yh the reason people quit is because of matchmaking haha keep saying that you brain dead monkey @timid reef Is ow good again? I saw that apex and ow got some huge updates. Apex has really good matchmaking now.

[upper citrus]

Yeah, replace Recon with Jetpack

[timid reef]

Light still useless, shield spam everywhere, nukes are still busted. Honestly with the current state of the game it deserves the 25,060 player count it has. Learn from OW and fix this shit please.

[quick coyote]

Nah its the matchmaking you little weirdo. If you can't figure out nukes at this point idk what to tell you, games not for you. move on, stop whining. go play dragonball z or something

[severe wave]

I already figured nukes out. Theres a huge counter against nukes^^ Not starting the game you counter nukes pretty well with it. Most people counter nukes that way right now😂

sorry if u don’t understand why the defensive class shouldn’t have access to nukes then this game isn’t for you. god forbid classes have limitations and weaknesses right?

[scenic knoll]

keep the nukes keep all the bullshit in the game just for the love of god remove defib. no gadget is even close to impactful as that one, make it a spec or something and make it so it heals them to full health. defib is just extremely unhealthy for the game and makes the final round of tournament either medium or lose. you react but you know its 100% true

[icy anvil]

so true fr fr

[tropic swift]

Skill issue get better lmao

[modern wedge]

…jump pad?
not to mention why should medium be getting literally all types of customization? mobility is the only thing barely keeping light going, why dilute it by giving it to med?

[upper citrus]

jump pad is very overlooked but it’s insanely op. puts lights mobility to shame and has a 15s cooldown. by the time you land it’s halfway back AND you can pick it up to reset the cooldown. at the very least the cooldown should be doubled

[quick coyote]

they do, they're slow as fuck and easy to shoot. its the easiest target in the game, just shoot them and find better positioning.
@severe wave and you already came in here crying for a nerf while simultaneously saying there's a huge counter so see the fuckin exit and come back when you can form a coherent opinion

gr8 idea!

[fading cobalt]

You have to rank up by using chat.

But like, aren't we nerfing all the unique features into the ground? I don't understand how any of the changes have made the game more exciting. Seriously, like I logged on to collect the Vday rewards but I haven't felt interested in playing. Not because of balance, it's just boring. I miss the chaos personally

[upper citrus]

this would be a great weakness if it didn’t have 2 shields and the biggest hp pool in the game to make up for it. if you want offensive capabilities on your team you should have to look to light. the fact that heavy outshines light in offense is an insane balance flaw

[unreal kelp]

PIRATE OUTFIT. 🏴‍☠️

[quick coyote]

the fact that you think a good light will be out dps'd by any heavy just means you aren't a top light my guy.

that is so stupid especially when slow mode is enabled lmaoo

[tacit vine]

Anyway the bindings can be tweaked a little? I feel like”Interact and Equip Weapon” should be 2 different bindings and should be able to overlap with another button(i.e. Y on Xbox). I can’t be the only one who tries to put something down, like equipment, and immediately tries to switch to my weapon and I can’t because it’s trying to pick up the equipment I just set down. It’s just annoying. Being able to pick up equipment and interacting with the environment, like the ziplines, should be separate settings. Just my opinion.

[flat plaza]

It really does not take that long to get a yellow name with 15s slowmode in most channels.

[knotty notch]

The amount of people still getting mad over game mechanics has a skill issue

In short, “interacting with the environment” and “picking up your own equipment” should be 2 different bindings, that’s able to overlap.

[jagged cedar]

the core issue of random 1 taps hasn't really been solved and a random barrel will still kill 2/3rds of your team, just not as often

[sour bane]

I love this game so much but a few issues

Casual vs. ranked community. Casuals find Light overpowered, but in ranked, Light is as good as useless.

Stacking gadgets is really unfun. Defib doesn't feel OP if there's only one Medium, but when there's three, it's a major pain in the ass especially in ranked.

Medium still feels like the best all-rounder class and I don't see how the meta won't continue to be Medium dominant, which it is in ranked by the far majority.

Light's team utility is really poor. In a ranked context, if you're not fragging, you offer absolutely nothing to the team. You're actually detrimental to the team because Med/Heavy all have great team utility, while you have none. Glitch Grenades absolutely suck with a wonky hitbox.

Ranked matchmaking needs lots of work.. They say it's more MMR based, but I have to call bollocks because the bronze/silvers I get in my team generally play like Bronze and Silvers, and they get outmatched in my Plat/Diamond lobbies.

Spawns have way too much RNG, and you can easily get screwed over in Cash Outs that YOU own by bad spawns.

[ionic pagoda]

we need mouse n keyboard support on console

[opal jewel]

I wish there was a option to make where the enemies have a bolder outline of there color starting within a 30m radius because in quite a few fight I either mistake ally for foe and/or with how dark some maps are and with how hectic combat can be due to debris & movement it becomes so easy to lose track of people (obviously not including people actually going invis) as well as making it easier to communicate which team is doing what and roughly where.

[hasty fog]

Is there any fixes coming to balance out the current meta because triple heavy and medium teams are brokena and need to be balanced

[sinful vessel]

I was just gonna say something about the spawns here, but you covered it. Its my biggest gripe about the game.. the spawn systems RNG is pretty bad. Nothing like defending a cashbox, getting wiped, then spawning at the other one that has .1 seconds remaining as well. I wish there was some sort of team input over the spawns at least for tournament or ranked

PLEASE for the love of God, stop queuing me with 2 lights when I play with randoms

Impact GL?🤣 U MUST BE KIDDING

[modest crescent]

and add grenade cooking like it takes 3 sec to boooom its like for me its nonsense the emeny even a heavy can get away from it

[drifting thistle]

Thanks goodness I still can abuse heavy dash and dome shield if you wan to get close

[viscid owl]

i think that cloaking doesn't render the bullet holes in the walls behind the given player that is cloaked, i don't know how i feel about this 🐒

[gleaming marsh]

stands out too much, would be unfair to who ever is in the team

[worthy flower]

Anyone else get the bug where even if you equip the Alt animations yhey dont equip during the match? On ps5 btw

[warm marsh]

nerf heavy

[viscid owl]

i'd like to pick my own colors as most colored modes use colors very close to blue for enemy teams

[solemn light]

uhm, the controls of the crane are bugged. The "Move Left" button covers the entire screen and it doesnt work like before.

[fallen torrent]

Loved the game so far, Hope we can have an extra 25 multibuck somewhere cuz the free battlepass gives you 525 and you'd need 525 more for the battlepass. The Store offers 500 multibucks and jumps to 1150 multibucks. Hope I can buy it cheaper so i don't really have to spend double the money at 1150 multibucks since we really would just need 25 more

[eager shard]

thats the whole reason they did it

[stable lagoon]

You forgot that their parent company is Nexon, notorious for their predatory monetization

Hell, compared to what they usually do it’s tame

[fallen torrent]

dang, wish i can just magically grab the 25 somewhere

[subtle oak]

The game is in need of some new content, gamemodes or guns.
A few of my friends don’t feel like playing any more because ‘there is nothing new’. A new gamemode could be a good start 🙂

[errant flame]

DAY 4️⃣ since nuke death of asking to swap Heavy and Light DPS

Light can kill heavy at least just as well as heavy can kill light thanks to smaller hitbox, better DPS, better speed, better recoil (and maybe thanks to a faster firerate too), which are more than enough to compensate for less HP. With difference being, light can go in and out whenever he wants, but heavy - not really. He is just a big fat slow prey and his shield only makes him even more noticeable and slower. Yeah, heavy has RPG, but it has big CD, can deal up to 252 self damage to himself, can be disabled with stun or glitch and keeps getting nerfed and nerfed. And stun gun...Stun gun can render 2, if not 3 out of 6 heavy weapons useless if the light isn't a complete moron and knows to keep just a bit of distance. Also, while heavy can defend himself with his shield, he can't against sword. And his shield prevents him from shooting and makes him slower. A light wouldn't even need to wear down his own defenses to wear down heavy's.

The situation somewhat changes when heavy has a team, but why does heavy need a team and light doesn't? Why should HEAVY be hunted down by none other than a single light? Why does HEAVY, the HEAVY hitter, the HEAVY artillery, the guy with HEAVY and big guns deals the least amount of damage with his weapons? And even with a team, light's glitch grenades are quite good against heavy and light's DPS and stun gun is quite good at preventing heavy from stealing a cash.

In the meantime, people complain that light isn't very useful in teamplay and ranked. So, maybe swap heavy and light DPS and give light more teamplay, team utility and usefullness. Now, that the nukes, which was the main thing that gave heavy his heavy firepower, are killed, it's about time.
And rework MGL

[lapis pollen]

I think we should have more Pyro Grenade, one is not enough to counter gas

[foggy ginkgo]

Their keeping all the goodies for season 2 trust. First season still felt like somewhat of a beta

[oak ice]

Or bigger pyro radius would be nice to see

[obsidian grail]

Please gave an option to change the Background image/ color on Lobby, it's hurt my eyes

[hallow ruin]

The shotgun of Heavy can kill light with 2 shots (which are about 0.26 (cheked the table) seconds in TTK)
The light can kill heavy, if remember correctly, fastet TTK was 1.26 (I JUST CHEKED THE TABLE)
LIKE HOLY FUCK

And on average other clases can kill light faster then he can kill them

So yeah, just try to aim when shooting

P.S.
Like ACTUALLY what the heck
He needs a second more to kill the guy?!
No wonder light is the weakest

I was looking in the table more and what the heck

Literally Medium and Heavy both can kill light significantly faster then Light can kill them

Like something has to be done?

[thick basin]

Some opinions from Chinese player:

1. Less teamwork, each player has limited liability and can blame the losing to teammates, random events, luck
2. Seperate matchmaking teamed player with solo players
3. rookie player can give their resources to pros
4. Enhance all roles, bring instant kill back, decrease respawn time
5. Move all the "balance" changes to ranked tournament.

Explains:

1. For most players, they want limited responsibility when losing, and individual heroism, a chance to take all credit when winning.
   Games like Warcraft,EVE asks the play to take all the blame for losing, no excuse, all because of your lack of skill.
   When Overwatch released, each character has a ultimate skill to kill all enemy, brings great thrill of personal heroism, but the developer began to weaken the instant kill abilities, the chance a pro player can drive the team to victory, and crazily increase the possibility of a single noob player ruining the entire team to win, the possibility of a single rookie player ruining the entire team's game experience.

For The Finals, the devs weakened all three builds, and the result is that in a random queue casual, a pro can't kill a whole squad quickly, be a hero, or lead the whole team to win. Both expert players and rookie players are bound to lose every game as long as they don't team up before match.

[errant flame]

You'll kill light in two shots only within a couple of meters. And at this range, light will circle you twice before you do so. And it's nowhere near 0.2s. More like 0.5s at best.
The point is that light's speed, hitbox, DPS, recoil and specs more than enough to let it kill other classes even in direct combat.

[lapis pollen]

You should check wiki, some imformation is wrong in your describtion.

Or maybe you are just kidding idk.

[silver forge]

Don't bother arguing with him, he just really doesn't like lights. You're not gonna change his mind

[stable lagoon]

Let thermal vision reveal recent enemy footprints, kinda like Bloodhound

[thick basin]

The number of players and popularity of almost all video games in the world is supported by amateur casual players, rather than by a very small number of professional players and fixed teams. In a random matchmaking, players and teammates don't know each other, and the level of gaming skills is even more varied, so there is no teamwork or team consistency to speak of. Besides some pro players who play for a living, all casual players play the game is to experience personal heroism, is to experience lying winning, is to experience the thrill, but not to experience teamwork, not to experience being dragged behind by other players.
If the rule of a game is "if you don't have teamwork, you lose", then most casual players will keep losing and eventually leave the game, leaving only a small number of regular teams and eSports pros to entertain themselves. No matter how explosive the game was in the first place, as long as its game mechanics and balance are altered in the direction of eSports tournaments, it will only cause death, don't you see Rainbow Six Siege?!

2. The reason is quite obvious, right?

3. Giving the noobs a lying win chance, for specific I suggest in bank it player can transfer their coins to teammate

4. Explained in 1

5. I mean for the pros can create a separate "balanced mode" for them and let the casual players have fun playing the game

The direction of eSportsification has ruined too many video games in recent years. Games that emphasise teamwork, especially the kind that emphasise three people on a team with the same strength, one dies faster than the other. This strange phenomenon is forcing me to get married and have 4 kids as my regular teammates.

It's an excerpt from an article,linked here: https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv30675077/

Yo this Chinese guy is kinda cooking right now. The Quick Cash part of the game is so extremely sweaty it drives the newer players away maybe even introduce another form of the game as pubs. Duos maybe? Also I experienced the cosmetics bug he’s describing below today for the first time

This is feedback

[quick coyote]

2 concerns

1. repeatedly facing off against gold and platinum players in ranked matchmaking hits hard. im not on their level and it feels like im dragging down my teammates on their progress
2. crashing during ranked matches is brutal you get a timeout penalty and lose a chunk of your fame points its just so unforgiving to lose progress due to technical issues

[stone bramble]

1 . Teammate leaving mid ranked match causing me and my teammate to lose and lose a chunk of rank points when there is nothing we can do

2. Facing up against a bunch of hackers in the higher ranks causing me to lose my ranked games

3. You can't counter a charge and slam with any melee weapon especially with the medium riot sheild it just does to much damage

[cobalt coral]

Day 6 of asking for a real life Nama Tama Tamagotchi.

[hallow ruin]

I would buy a 2 meter tall Nama Tama pillow

[lofty crypt]

More FCAR

[cobalt coral]

and I buy tamagotchi of Nama Tama

[slender dock]

completely agree

[plain patio]

aye another chicken man

[blazing arch]

Why are hackers hitting me 100% headshot and game can't detect this shit

[prisma ether]

What a joke... delusion of bad players is strong in this one.Please do swap light dps and Lewis dps xD.

Can't wait for light with Lewis dps

[rocky verge]

People in three stacks should queue with those in three stacks, to stop randoms, or a solo and a random duo, from fighting a well coordinated team.
It would make things cooler

[sturdy coyote]

Matchmaking is completely broken in this game anyways lmao

[smoky gust]

my biggest gripe at the moment is that defending the cashout has no real incentive and that you're often actually punished for trying to do so

if you own the cashout both teams will attack you, so defending it is a lot of effort
this effort is often tossed aside and ignored
no matter how long you owned it for
no matter how often the others were wiped by your team
if you die right at the end, none of your efforts mattered

and the money will go to whoever was lucky enough to survive the chaos of the 3v3v3 (or just camped until 1 heavily weakened team remains)

not sure what we could change, or if we even should
but its pretty disheartening to see all of your efforts go to waste and i hope that it will be addressed in some way (maybe with a new game mode?)

[signal mica]

"Light has the highest speed and dps that'll more than make up for his low health!" - The devs, probably.

Light is horribly out fucking damaged for no fucking reason at almost all ranges (except arguably point blank xdddd)

It's not that hard to keep up with a Light.

Save this character

[sturdy coyote]

Mine the area and keep a certain distance to the cashout, let the other two teams fight over it and try to wipe those that are already on low health but you made a good point tho

[radiant heath]

(im the light playing sniper).

Maybe 2 headshots to kill a heavy is to easy now.

on regular basis now 10-15k damage per game because of that change xD

[smoky gust]

true, that can work
but at that point you're doing nothing different, whoever camped wins

and even then, i might know that
but what about my teammates?
if they rush in and get eliminated, i have to somehow stop 3 people from capping, all by myself

(i know thats more of an issue with having bad teammates but i think you understand what i mean)

[sturdy coyote]

Forget teammates buddy

Try hit 20+ kills 3 games in a row, watch SBMM kick in and giving you the absolute worst teammates you can imagine and only premate enemies with great teamwork and invisible lights stunning you mid fight from behind lmao

And yep they should implement a bonus when you start a cashout

[hallow ruin]

Exactly my point

P.S.
I really really want to emphasize N11 - Cashout Station Balance Changes. I believe this would greatly improve the "fairness" feeling when defending Cashout Stations.

[obsidian solar]

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here's some suggestions, I know all of these together would make the shield pretty strong but even 1 or 2 would be enough to improve it so much!:

• While blocking movement speed should be the same as walking (increasing block movement speed would help a lot in pushing and giving your teammates support)
• Lunge distance (90% of the fight become a chase you can't win, the other classes have ways to block enemies, slow them down or catch up to them, even heavies have RPG to finish people off if they use sledge)
• Increase damage from 84 to 90 (to kill heavies in 4 hits instead of 5)
• Add a charge like attack, to activate it press the attack button while blocking kinda like charge N slam, of course less powerful and without the destruction effect, it would add variety, also all the other melee weapons have two attacks)

IMPROVE MELEE TRACKING:

• Some weapons like the Dagger have an insane lock that is not needed, on the other hand the Riot Shield has a very weak lock, you can't even hit people in your face sometimes. Consider increasing the angle at which the lock works and reduce the lock strenght on the Dagger

FIX THE DAGGER BACKSTAB:

• Backstabs with the Dagger are the most incosistent thing I've ever seen, a lot times either nothing happens or it's not backstab even though you're right behind them and other times it is when you're literally in front of them.
• Increase the backstab hitboxes because the latency of the servers causes this problems
• Make it so you can hold the backstab and it's not a forced animation, revert it like it was in the Open Beta

[vernal kayak]

please give at least 2-3 more character slots

[signal mica]

Please please buff double barrel. Light's rate of engagement with the weapon needs to be high to be a consistent threat god forbid you have to vault. Bare minimum buff the obnoxious fucking reload speed please.

[wraith socket]

The only thing lights need is 2.5 second health regen

[hidden thicket]

Why has the leaderboard not been updating for the past 2 days? Its really annoying bc as a diamond 1 its the only thing i have to grind for

[smoky gust]

bonus cash for starting the cashout wouldn't help with my problem, because it only incentivizes being the one to start the cashout, not defending it

and at most, the team that started the cashout would have a tie-breaker to be 2nd place rather than 3rd
but they would still loose

[errant flame]

Can't wait too. Lewis Gun will have 267, M11 will have 200 then

[white lily]

Yes, but its still the only Thing you can do as a D1, so what is your point?

[solid narwhal]

Add input based matchmaking and a xim/cheat detection rework so we can have kbm on console
Please and thank you.

[thorny latch]

remove seoul moving platform, literally bad map design

[timid pumice]

I like it, it needs updates tho for sure

[hidden thicket]

Idc if its noob stomping (it isnt all the time, i get matched against top 500 3 stacks every day), its still a grind and i enjoy progressing on the leaderboard

[subtle oak]

When is Recon Sense going to be removed? Asking for a friend

[boreal anchor]

Gold3 ranked player here, loving the game, playing a ton. But I joined discord to express an concern: I am worried about the influx of chinese players (high ping) causing unstable laggy matches. I just had a match which was unplayeble with 1/3 chinese players. For now it doesnt happen often but I do worry the game will follow Naraka (game is now pretty much unplayeble of lag issues). I wanted to post a screenshot of the teams but it seems it is not possible? Will more high ping kick mechanics be implemented to avoid extreme lag matches?

[dull marsh]

For some reason Finals is the only game where I get bad rubberbanding

[frank fable]

when I start the game, I get the error "login failed due to a service interruption". i deleted the game and downloaded it again, but it didn't work out. how can I fix it? the support team is also not interested yet

[quick coyote]

CPU USAGE NEEDS SORTING!!!! Also Be nice to get text chat and the team colours changed as some times its hard to see whos who red and pink... also be nice to wear glasses and bandana at same time and bring back cancel quick emote as they are useless now '

Fix your game I couldn’t get in the tournament because it kept kicking me and now I have to wait a 30 minute penalty

[fathom gale]

[subtle oak]

Can we get the ability to cancel an emote back with melee? Why is it a problem to cancel an emote?

[delicate notch]

it feels very unfair that I am loosing fame points due to our team only consisting of 2 players after a disconnect.

[raven hatch]

Option to stay in settings even when the announcement is going on.

[white crater]

If they quit manually you can quit for free. Do you want DCs to also count for a free leave?

[cyan totem]

can we have rank that you can play with your rank im sick of getting stuck with 2 bronze4 players

[brittle harness]

38 minutes of suspension because yesterday the game launched two games in a row and today the game crashed and cannot rejoin. Remove those penalties if your game isn't stable.

[left spoke]

second this, i hate playing ranked bc teammates are usually clueless and enemies are insanely sweaty

[dull marsh]

MM is also unbalanced

[lofty crypt]

too much hackers

[frank fable]

the support team is an absolute disgrace. cheat for this error or 3. the party says that the software works there is turn off, but 3. party software does not exist. there is no program to be closed. only steam is working. they also terminate the meeting without solving the problem. the incompetents

Expounding on this I'd like to periodically highlight some specific suggestions to encourage you guys to actually click this Google Doc. I won't copy pasta a wall of text, just my select favorites every now and then. First highlight below.

N10: Consumables That Cost VR
Right now there is no use for VR when it’s capped out at 3,000 and you have all the equipment unlocked. Ideas for consumables include: Weapon XP boosters, Career XP boosters, limited time Kill or Self Death effects (silver coins, poker chips, fluttering dollar bills, diamonds, gold bars, gold paint), limited time trials of existing cosmetics (to include locked items). These could be equipped in the loadout tab in the Contestants Build Editor, or pre-game lobby. Costs could be 1 day boosters for 150 VR, or 1 week boosters for 1000 VR. Additionally you could add more VR as rewards to the Career track to space out the cosmetic rewards, instead of just having only Level 2 and Level 3 give VR.

[quick coyote]

I personally think one massive map like cod or Fortnite would make the game explode

[chrome merlin]

As a dagger main, the forced animation is a must as it increases the skill floor and decreases the frustration of playing against it, what would be awsome tho would be some other compensating buffs, like a speed buff for dagger players, 25hp boost and some sort of passive to refresh maybe a third of your ability or 50 heath. The issue with the lock on is not only the aim assist but also the step foward you do when you lock onto a target. the best way to fix that is too completely remove the step foward and aimassist as they are very akward on pc. with a speedboost passive I believe the step foward would not be nessesary anymore and removing the aimassist would make for much more fluid and controlled gameplay as currently the most frustrating part is how playing the weapon is a fight against the aimassist. It is also the step foward that causes some inconsistencies with backstab

[potent vault]

Please provide servers for INDIA.

[orchid quarry]

Completely off the topic but I think it would be a good thing if they gave the R.357 150 Headshot dmg instead of 148.

Is it possible to increase the glue throw so that I can throw the glue a little faster. Thank you

[vocal shadow]

idc how much hate this gets but SOMETHING needs to be done about the medium takeover in this game. light is useless to play unless you want to get weekly or daily challenges done. so it's a throw pick for any other purpose and heavy is to slow and obviously to big to be of any real use unless you have a healbot team mate on your team doing nothing but heal beaming the whole entire fuck out of that heavy. if you don't have that, you get lasered by everyone on any opposing team.

every single fight is now 6v3 and that's just going against 1 team of mediums since they can just chain revive and out power you if you're not playing medium. and there's nothing you can do about it since you're always going to have someone from some 3rd party team shooting you in the back.

light and heavy has been heavily nerfed to being near useless in any type of play while medium has been sitting on the sidelines watching as they become the most over powering class in the game.

this isn't call of dookie. but all the crying and complaining about shit has turned it into that. i should be able to have fun on any class. not be forced into the extreme meta of playing a brainless medium class just to enjoy playing the game. this game has taken many steps back from the fun the game once was in the closed and open betas and is a farcry from what it once was when the game finally did go live. i can't find a reason to play the game for longer than half of 1 match before just turning it off for the day now.

the devs really need to take a step back on the heavy handiness on heavy and light class and take a hard look at medium. there is a reason EVERYONE plays ONLY medium.

i have a whole ton to say about this and good reasons to back this up but i really want to try to keep this short. i legitimately can't even enjoy playing the game anymore.

[quick coyote]

my dude, i don't reply to disrespect

[shrewd vine]

Defib chaining is the core problem.

[quick coyote]

@quick coyote i really think that Embark should add a deathmatch mode. If you see how many people are just not going for anything objective-related, and just going for kills, deathmatch could be Nice. It could also be a Nice warm-up!

[wind delta]

PLEASE What I think the game needs:

1. New weapons. The balancing of the guns has been amazing but at some point I want something else to play with and experience.
2. New abilities. Same here it doesn’t matter how many balance changes you guys make the overall experience is the same because it’s the same ability. We need new content that’s actually playable not new skins or new game modes (which are pretty straightforward like honestly not that original).
3. We need to new maps

@quick coyoteyour job is to respond to everything and keep your feelings set to the side... you are the community manager! you legit sound like a woke rare developer dude! you cant be serious... pay attention to the community and make this game great again! listen to what the players want! not what you want! if you do that (runescape did) you will be successful! the best way to have a great game with amazing player count is to listen to the community. i and we all under stand you cant responde to everything but the way you do is key.

[quick coyote]

add more of this

The Heavy grenade launcher is a completely worthless weapon how it is... why make them bounce before exploding? You end up hitting yourself more than the enemy...

Quick solution to all weapons: take the SR-84 and give it a slight buff ..Give it to Medium!
Take the LH1 and give it a slight buff and..give it to Heavy!

Now everyone has 7 weapon options.. and give Heavy and light more gadget options to even that out a bit also... you could maybe fix the glitch trap to do something better or a little different.. and give everyone more universal gadgets across the board... how about instead of nerfing stuff like C4.. give it to everyone... now anyone can nuke!
Not all classes need the same stuff but make the weapons and gadgets feel a bit more balanced

[spark girder]

The list is medium biased and I don’t like all pretty much any of the ideas for the class.

A one-shot gadget on lights and also a great finisher/melee tool would be too strong. Doesn’t fit the style of medium either.

a new gun to camp on rooftops with even more burst and range is oppressive and unfun. Getting lasered by the fcar is already the worst meta.

respawn beacon would be one of the most overpowered things in the game.

The drone sounds way better and more bloated than existing informational gadgets

Medium doesn’t have the ability to destroy walls easily and it’s intentionally their weakness.

[dry kiln]

Playing with friends after match it does not keep teams together.

[prisma ether]

U really might want to check the dps tables XD and test spray patterns. The only weapon on light that actually has good dps is semi auto v9s. Which has 0.76 ttk on heavy while heavy and mediums still have sub 0.5 ttk average on light lol.

[white crater]

Light has so many gadgets and guns already, Medium is next for an addition of some sort. It just is. Lights need to be rebalanced and buffed some other way, but adding new weapons isn't it.

I mean there's plenty of things that 1-shot lights, a skill based projectile headshot seems like a balanced way to deal 150 DMG. Perhaps I'd settle with 125 DMG but that's paltry compared to... a grenade.

A new gun to camp on rooftops, yeah Medium's playstyle. Also getting lasered by a fully automatic FCAR doesn't mean a burst fire rifle would do any better.

A respawn beacon for 1 coin doesn't sound broken to me. Think about what slots that would compete with. Would you take that over Defibs? Jump Pad? Nades?

The drone could simply just be an FOV highlight for the team. Essentially enhanced comms. But I agree, about the bloat re: attaching it to a wall. I was curating a suggestion by another user and that was a leftover artifact I didn't cull.

If it had enough DPS to kill heavy in 0.7s that would've been insanely busted beyond belief. You must be insane if you really believe that good DPS on light is when he can kill heavy in 0.7s

FIX THE ANGELSCRIPT CRASH! Its after every game! I'm updated to latest drivers and never have crashed before today but I've crashed 3 times in a row now. I havent played in almost a week so I am guessing its from most recent update?

[sour bane]

Equipment stacking in this game needs to go.. Medium with one Defib is fine in itself, but overpowered as hell when you have three Mediums constantly reviving each other. In solo Q, it's so hard to deal with with low coordination.

This isn't just an issue with Defib, but also with stacking Explosive/Gas Mines, Bubbles, Stuns, Glitches, etc. But Defib is absolutely the most annoying and broken when stacked because you gave to wipe a team TWO times

[prisma ether]

lights have glitch nades which are decent team utility.

@rose surge when i used to play light i played with frags, glitch and gas. supporting our heavy and medium pushes with disables and nades to cut off or to deny steal. but i do agree that they could use more.

[lapis acorn]

I listed best guns per class

[stuck patio]

fuck the stun gun

[errant flame]

It needs a rework above all else and a moderate DPS buff. See how this dude deliberately slow down his shots in order to hit? That's the point. The whole "auto" part and shotgun's DPS are wasted because its current firerate-damage (and spread too) combination makes it have a weird and narrow effective range. No closer than 1-2 m and no farther than 4-5 m, because if mediums and lights get in your face, they'll circle and zip-zap in your screen and out of it many times a second. At least with other shotguns, their shooting interval is way better for aiming. And medium's even closer to a medium range, so its intended range isn't even that much subject to the outcircling blitz problem.
SA 1216 is bad because it's naturally bad at close-medium range due to spread which would've been OK if it wasn't atrocious at close range too where it's supposed to shine, but doesn't due to its stupid firerate.
They should make it a little slower, but give more damage.
@prisma ether What a buffoon. Ask for a better spreadsheet. I tested V9S, XP-54, M11, Lewis and Shotgun and the numbers correspond with the other tables (except for shotgun's TTK).

"Moderate dps buff" on the shotgun is crazy, by far one of the strongest guns in the game already can 1 burst every class and plays well with the heavies kit. It's very strong currently and definitely does not need any sort of buff

DAY 4️⃣ since nuke death of asking to swap Heavy and Light DPS

Light can kill heavy at least just as well as heavy can kill light thanks to smaller hitbox, better DPS, better speed, better recoil (and maybe thanks to a faster firerate too), which are more than enough to compensate for less HP. With difference being, light can go in and out whenever he wants, but heavy - not really. He is just a big fat slow prey and his shield only makes him even more noticeable and slower. Yeah, heavy has RPG, but it has big CD, can deal up to 252 self damage to himself, can be disabled with stun or glitch and keeps getting nerfed and nerfed. And stun gun...Stun gun can render 2, if not 3 out of 6 heavy weapons useless if the light isn't a complete moron and knows to keep just a bit of distance. Also, while heavy can defend himself with his shield, he can't against sword. And his shield prevents him from shooting and makes him slower. A light wouldn't even need to wear down his own defenses to wear down heavy's.

The situation somewhat changes when heavy has a team, but why does heavy need a team and light doesn't? Why should HEAVY be hunted down by none other than a single light? Why does HEAVY, the HEAVY hitter, the HEAVY artillery, the guy with HEAVY and big guns deals the least amount of damage with his weapons? And even with a team, light's glitch grenades are quite good against heavy and light's DPS and stun gun is quite good at preventing heavy from stealing a cash.

In the meantime, people complain that light isn't very useful in teamplay and ranked. So, maybe swap heavy and light DPS and give light more teamplay, team utility and usefullness. Now, that the nukes, which was the main thing that gave heavy his heavy firepower, are killed, it's about time.
And rework MGL

[soft gorge]

Mouse and keyboard support on consoles and input based matchmaking on the next update, please!

[shrewd vine]

Nuke isn't dead, I still use it to consistently open every team-fight up with a kill and make them fight 2v3. To add on to this, nuke just shouldn't be a thing in this game. Its been said before, but the fact that so many guns in this game are designed around breakpoints that avoid 1-2 shots, should indicate that the devs know that 1 shots are busted in most situations in FPS, but for some reason they absolutely refuse to remove it. 1 shots are unfun and just promote more Medium defib stacking, which basically acts as a mistake-eraser. Teammates can run in blindly without a single fuck to give, die, and get resed for free and have everything they just did mean nothing.

I once again ask Embark to remove slow down when swinging melee weapons

Replying to 7k6: It isn't fair. Guns can fire and immediately run. Melees should be able to run them. In their range melee weapons should be the best weapon or have such a strong utility that they are weak at attacking enemies.

[quick coyote]

no that's fair
remove a little slow when elbowing

[south sedge]

Going 1vs3 standing beside each other is normal? You almost killed them all as a light with LH1, do you think LH1 is balanced? As you can see defib isn't OP, you killed him once he revived despite that 2 are healing him, stop complaining about everything, just get better or don't play light.

[shrewd vine]

He was under the objective, as opposed to being in the middle of nowhere. He only saw 1 medium initially so took the 1v1. Once he killed him, a 2nd dropped and was the only one in sight. He took the 1v1 to stop the defib and barely didn't, cleaning up the 2nd medium after the defib. He took the fight with the non-full hp resed medium since that was also a 1v1 (didn't see the 3rd medium running up). That looked like great gameplay to me, maybe I'm out of my depth but he never put himself in a situation where he was disadvantaged. Every fight he took was a 1v1 except for the ~1-2 seconds that the 2nd medium was on like 10 hp. He bested 2 guys a total of 3 times and still lost the fight with the enemy team still being 2 up, ready to defend against others because of spamming a broken cooldown. I'd be fuming after that.

[tame pivot]

dude lost 1v3 if you are fuming after losing 1v3 you do not understand the game lol, if he would've played with his team he would've won easily

You cant even imagine how dead the game on console is haha. Usually games on console have a higher player count then pc but in finals its the other way lol

[violet elbow]

it also just has less players on console because even on roller it takes some level of aiming, when other games dont (apex, CoD etc.) on top of this being late into the season, yall are just coping and seemingly just want the game to die for whatever reason when its clearly gonna be back with season 2.

when have low player numbers towards the end of a season not been normal? especially when games like palworld and helldivers 2 release within weeks of each other

[south sedge]

If he was standing beside his team instead of leaving them and running away, they would've kill them all, but the enemy team are just standing beside each other, helping each other, so that should be expected to get annoyed because they're playing as a teamwork.

I once got stunned for a team that has 3 lights, they all stunned me in 1 fight, should I complain? No, I didn't, because it's my mistake to go against a full team, they were better because they had better position and better teamwork.

Teamwork is the key, stop complaining every time you get killed because you're playing bad, if you searched about "loop" in search box, you will see him complaining about everything, medium and heavy, and all gadgets, literally everything.

[shrewd vine]

I think we will end up agreeing to disagree.

My perspective of the clip is that -

1. He only ever initially engaged in a 1v1. Everything after that happened because the other 2 dropped after the initial fight started. By the clip, we have no info that he knew where the other 2 were, so I think its disingenuous to categorize the clip as a 1v3.
2. He was never once being shot by more than 1 person. It was never more than a 1v1 gunfight.
3. One of his teammates is on a 25 seconds respawn so he died extremely recently, and to one of the reds. Again, the clip misses context so its hard to say, but its entirely possible that he was going to help the teammate who was out of position.

I will absolutely concede that if it were me I probably would have cut my losses after the 1st kill* I think he tried to bite off more than he can chew for frag clips.

[scenic knoll]

Hey embark for the future can we get a match history and are able to download one of the games and review them from a free camera view? Would make content making way better for creators and let them have higher quality edits and videos instead of just first person.

''He only ever initially engaged in a 1v1. Everything after that happened because the other 2 dropped after the initial fight started. By the clip, we have no info that he knew where the other 2 were, so I think its disingenuous to categorize the clip as a 1v3.''
just because from his perspective he doesn't see he's fighting 1v3 doesn't mean he isn't fighthing 1v3, also he does see all 3 enemies when he exits through the door

''He was never once being shot by more than 1 person. It was never more than a 1v1 gunfight.''
Everything after the first pick is a 1v2/3

''One of his teammates is on a 25 seconds respawn so he died extremely recently, and to one of the reds. Again, the clip misses context so its hard to say, but its entirely possible that he was going to help the teammate who was out of position.''
If you're down one teamate and your other teamate is one HP you should try to get the res and reset, not push the objective into a team that has 3 player up

GUNS IDEA
I have an idea for the game, since we already bought everything in the weapons store and the vrs is no longer useful, I propose an idea to spend the vrs on xp for the weapons, that is, unlock weapon skins with the vrs since the vrs in a future will stop being useful since we bought everything, in fact I already have everything and the vrs is of no use to me, so I propose that the vrs can be spent on weapon xp and also an idea of ​​adding a new weapon, a crossbow for the character with agility with great damage, the crossbow takes a long time to reload, and a simple bow for the medium one that shoots arrows with a normal speed and takes damage depending on how long I left it stretching the arrow, it will do more damage, for the big guy a new rocket but it is a cannon and it takes too long to reload but it makes everything explode and it can make holes in buildings or houses

Dear Devs. Please can the continent of Africa have one server, example locations would be Cape Town or Johannesburg (South Africa), there are datacenters in these locations which other games such as Battlefield / Valorant / CS2 / COD / R6S leverage. There is a market in Southern Africa, a lot of players from areas like the Reunion Islands / Mauritius also leverage South African servers, and it's a good location to provide better access to Sub-Saharan Africa. The infrastructure exists and we have large games with servers here to prove it. Please consider players in Southern Africa. The infrastructure exists in South Africa (RSA), we have an AWS datacenter, Azure Datacenter, direct connections to the undersea cables which run to Europe.

[tame pivot]

[smoky dagger]

Got a suggestion for light. Given that when playing as light you end up getting a single pick and then have to run away, many times what you have done is undone by the time you're able to get back via defibrillators or basic revive speed as you have to retreat due to having taken half your hp in damage from gunfire or basic hazards, it would be interesting to see lights have a slightly faster HP regeneration start time. Given that lights tend to play away from teams due to the danger of explosives and moving as a crowd makes one's position very obvious, two things lights many times want to avoid, having a bit more self sustain would be nice to have for the class. This is even more obvious when a team is running recon sense, as most of the time lights will end up trading damage which forces them to run away, making them obsolete until their HP comes back. This means that the windows for light to be impactful are limited to one or several of the following, when their HP is at acceptable levels, when people aren't looking at them, and when there isn't a lot of stage hazards such as gas or fire.

Possible changes

1. Faster HP regeneration start speed. If too strong then only have that regeneration start speed for the top half of the HP bar, meaning that players are punished for close calls as much as other players, but rewarded for hitting and running successfully, something the class heavily encourages.

2. A hazard protection ability would be very interesting. Something akin to a smoke bomb that coats players in a shield that can take damage from hazards (gas and fire) for a player up to a limit, put out players that are on fire, or instead of having a set sum of HP that takes damage from hazards first, provide hazard immunity for a set duration. This would give lights better team play ability, something which they lack in comparison to other classes, as well as being able to deal with one of their biggest weaknesses at the cost of a cooldown and gear slot

[formal moth]

Oh a gas mask/small shield that deteriorates like thermal vision would be awesome

[slim karma]

Absolutely no to the stun mine, this game is better off without mines slowing down the pace, and absolutely no to the UV flashlight, to make fighting cloak zero effort. Like the quality of life changes.

[tough willow]

I can't join parties on PS5.

[true geode]

I just did

[strange fractal]

Grapple should allow you to grab throwables and other objects from 3-5x the default distance (highlight and activate as usual, but from further with a grapple animation)

A halo-esque repulsor as an ability to "rocket jump", repel enemies (esp melee) and physically clear gas etc instantly

Stun should last 1.3s but be fired with a left hand animation allowing you to still shoot.

Thoughts?

[lone cobalt]

Hey guys I just got a ranked ban for “abandoning match” when my game crashed. This has happened multiple times. I make it to the next round of ranked, and then my game crashes. I did not receive any FP and got a temporary ban. This also happened to all my teammates. PLS fix this asap.

[upper citrus]

remove nukes

[unreal kelp]

Yeah a stun mine sounds useless anyways

[tough willow]

Running full speed as invisible should make you fully visible or you shouldn't be able to run at full speed.

[short dagger]

They should add katana

[cyan swan]

Not sure if anybody else is experiencing this but my weapon camos cannot be switched. I have the yellow rpg permanently applied and I can apply the red version but the second I exit and go back in it is back to yellow

[storm hull]

fr

[main pond]

Very impressive sir 👏

This is the kind of feedback this channel should be filled with

[safe bone]

I would be very surprised if nobody's said this but im new so idk, (personally) I would absolutely love the option to switch from light, medium, and heavy in-between rounds of a tournament. I think this option would be amazing and game changing.

[shell notch]

add an option to remove melee aim assist for controller players

[tough willow]

The biggest I run into are the hordes of new players that don't understand the objectives and thinks the game is COD. They just go for kills and ignore everything else. I think the tutorial needs to do a better job training people. Maybe add more video? Also, the points emphasis kill counts too much. If the score rewarded goal oriented behavior, I think new people would catch on sooner.

[void flume]

I also have a problem with the weapon skins, which has persisted through the last few updates. I usually have the blue sword skin equipped, but as I tried to change it to another one the blue one also stays "equipped" but is visually overriden by the other one. Since you can't manually unequip skins I cannot go back to blue anymore, only switch between the rest.

[solid narwhal]

Add input based matchmaking and a xim/cheat detection rework so we can have kbm on console
Please and thank you.

[sour bane]

Remove triple Defib spam

[spark girder]

I’d take off killcams from the list.

They don’t exist because of technical limitations with the amount of physics interactions that would need to be recorded perfectly.

[fast lake]

Let us leave ranked games without being penalised if someone has already left - totally unfair to lose fame points over it

[white crater]

yeah I think you're right, I was wondering how that'd work

[dry kiln]

LMAFO

[chrome merlin]

I just played in a dia 1 lobby as a gold 3 player, the final round was againt a 3 stack of top 500s, running meta build MMH sweating their asses of against us who were playing with a mace heavy. furthermore the semi finals, before that we played into an aimboter with walls, who did not make it. What a terrible experience, please fix sbmm

[slim wadi]

So my friends and I are currently really hating the invisible-stun gun-one clip meta, we feel like the stun gun is a bit overtuned at the moment. We’re fine with the movement slowing effect but not even being able to ADS or even crouch / jump is really not fun to play against, even if I know it’s coming I can’t hip fire accurately enough to kill the Light build before they’ve dumped their ammo into me. Anyone else feel the same?

[boreal tusk]

Gamemode idea:
4-5 players on one team 4-5 on the other team, fighting for cashboxes that add cash to your team for time held could be interesting. It appeals to more traditional shooter crowds while leaving in some of the unique aspects The Finals brought like the classes/gameplay while utilizing the whole map. I feel like the lack of a casual game mode + the constant third partying in quick cash/bank it puts some people off. This would help balance that out a bit and bring back some casual players. None of my friends will play anymore because of how sweaty it is, but I think this mode would be a good balance between sweating/brain off fun.

[humble tinsel]

It moreso depends on the light player. If they understand the range of the stungun well enough to hit shots from close to it's max and keep/increase that distance then you're more than likely cooked just from most weapons generally not being to compete in hipfire from that range. However, if they're caught within that distance there's a pretty good chance of killing them as long as you're able to get on target quick. I do feel like more lights are finding that sweetspot now but i wouldn't say it's so potent that it needs a lot of looking into. Lights are already the weakest class and need some love, i don't mind if they have an effective if not mostly annoying gadget.

[queen cloud]

sweaty?! I completely disagree. Even ranked is not sweaty at all. You can play however you like and have fun.

This game has a low skill gap. Anyone can kill anyone and there is barely any sbmm I don't understand how u can say it's sweaty. You can literrely pick up a sledgehammer and still win the game.

[warm frost]

Improve the server!!! dc all the time so annoying

[light hull]

Embarkers and CMs should get Free for all classic (DeatchMatch) like in the game quake, cash out is bad mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AemqQuH37iMtr:yesegg:

[faint jetty]

the crashing in this game is NEXT LEVEL. just crashed and got forcably removed from the game took a 1k FP hit despite having the game back open again within a minute and was unable to reconnect. Im crashing DAILY at the moment they need to sort this shit

[tough willow]

Stun gun should be for melee only. With melee it's balanced. With guns it's OP.

[slim wadi]

I definitely agree that lights are the weakest class, I would love to see them get some buffs to other play styles to offset the stun-gun dependence, because it really is annoying losing ALL mobility for a few seconds to then get absolutely melted

[real marlin]

Nerd third partying

[daring fossil]

take a look at grenade trajectories cuz they are pretty bad especially when in mid air, they are just straight up wrong. And standing still they will often hit shit that they shouldnt hit

[warm pebble]

Dejar team,

I'm done, I can not play like this anymore... too much crashing. I'll be back when all are walking well again.

[glossy scaffold]

Can u guys somehow revive SA ranked

[warm frost]

most insane game server ever seen, dc literally every 3 games

[chrome merlin]

the issue is some playstiles and weapons really need the stungun to be effective, for example when you run the dagger you have to backstab or hit 3 very close meele attacks in a light 1v1, now if the other light runs dash there is no way you eill get those if you don t stun him, but even if you stun him, he bassically melts you before you can get close if you are not carefull enought. a heavy will shoot his rpg at his feet and kill himself when you try to backstab him, but while you die to the rocket he gets defibed making it almost impossible to win a fair fight against a heavy without the stungun. Stungun is a must and if you would make it possible for someone to scop[e in while stunned the dagger would be even more impossible to pull of than it currently is in ranked

[slim wadi]

I don't even necessarily disagree with you, I believe it should hinder movement--but I feel it should not hinder the ability to crouch, jump, or ADS, as it currently does. I feel like stripping movement is fine, but turning you into a target dummy for a few seconds is OP in my opinion

[white crater]

Idk what your deal is but it's mega cringe.

[tough willow]

👆🏽 this

[proud plank]

I hope we get an actual meaningful update sometime in the future and not patches

[steady jackal]

Please let us cook grenades, it would make glitch grenades much more versatile

[spark girder]

Crutches for bad weapons that only make good weapons better are not it chief

People moaned when the rpg oneshot got nerfed because it made the sledgehammer even worse

[sly estuary]

It's still working. You don't lose any points if you leave match last 3 second before kicked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXHVsRgKkok&ab_channel=CptAke

[south gale]

Can we maybe get an update that allows you to put hoods up and take them down on jackets?

[quick coyote]

Take the SR-84, give it a slight buff ..and give it to Medium!
Take the LH1, give it a slight buff and..give it to Heavy!
Now everyone has 7 weapon options..
Buff the throwing knives to have 3 ways to attack.. the two we already have and a 3rd option that is a short and wide range attack when you hold the alt fire.
Buff the Heavy grenade launcher to explode on hit ..no bounce in this game unless you hit a bounce pad..should give Heavy and light more gadget options.. Smoke,Pyro,Gas,Goo,Frags, Breach-charge and Flashbangs should be available to all weight classes in my opinion

[warm frost]

Had lost two fkin game because of the dc, seriously?!

[daring fossil]

there's so much RNG in this game it's ridiculous. Is this red barrel I throw going to explode on impact? or is it going to flip out and fly whereever, or is it going to bounce off a surface? there's like 30% chance of each. am I going to land my shots with the LH1 or are they going to fly in every direction but straight? Is this mine going to go off when I jump over it? or is my mine not going to go off when someone is literally standing on it. are my melee hits going to make contact, or am I going to run around for 10 seconds smashing my melee button getting no hits just to get punched in the face myself and die. I feel like the net code has also been getting progressively worse the longer the game is out. So much stuff in this game is wearing me down and I still don't know why I log in every day to play when less than 1/3 of my rounds are enjoyable to play

[thorny parcel]

FCAR needs a huge nerf if it is going to stay as a boring assault rifle.
It beats or competes with all the other weapons at all ranges except for a few shotguns.

[kindred jewel]

Can we get a limited time game mode, ffa and every time you spawn in with a random class, gadgets and weapons. It would be fun just to play heavy and have sledge with dash equipped 🦅

[lament nova]

Im sure this has been said already, but please make the tracking dart count as detection. At least for the challenges.

[faint jetty]

Just crashed for the second time in 2 hours. This time i was hit with a 30 minute ban and probably another RP hit. this game needs fixing, since 1.8 me and everyone i know on PC have been crashing so frequently its a joke.

[boreal ingot]

I just want in-game chat so bad. Sucks to get a good teammate but if they don't use in-game voice chat I would never be able to add the person outside of the game

[winter abyss]

Yeah my game usually crashes after the first round, but only happens as I load into the 2nd,3rd or final round but I receive 2 hr bans as well as can’t reconnect to the match. P.s I really love this game it is really refreshing so I’ll wait patiently and I’m excited for what is to come !!!

[safe spade]

I am the only one who having a team wipe sound soo much delayed after 1.7.0 or 1.8.0 patch? For like, it can play 2-6 seconds AFTER the wipe. Before patch it was normal and instant.

[frank nymph]

this is pretty good.
Balance to gadgets and specializations, new recommendations, new weapons, weapon balances etc
i think it covers everything from a more sensible approach.

I hope embark takes a look at it. I do agree that defibs should be a specialization though. As well as the healing beam should be able to self-heal if needed. Doing less heals but also able to self heal I think is a great suggestion.

There might be too much there for embark to fix, but hopefully they start going in the right direction.

[icy anvil]

why doesnt contract xp add to weapon levels????????????

[thorny parcel]

Remove the long stun affect on stun gun but have like a brief window where it locks you from movement. Like 0.5 seconds. Also make it not interfere with weapon aim. Then let stun gun recharge much quicker so lights can effictively defend cashouts.

[elfin plaza]

Hello, I'm just off a knockout round two. The game had difficulty advancing for me to the next round, so I had to restart it. I reconnected and finished said knockout round two, and after that the game said I was suspended for abandoning just before joining knockout round three. Has any one of you encountered this

[next raft]

Defib should be a Specialization like the healing beam imo. rather than a gadget. because defib healing gun combo across 3 of them its near impossible to squad wipe.

[rose surge]

Give lights more team utility PLEAASSEEEE

[ebon kiln]

[Aurora Project] Feedback Megapost to try save The Finals

This is a megapost of 53 pages (for now) that I will update when I have time.
Many general changes, new formulas to calculate damage, rebalancing of all existing Skills, Gadgets, and Weapons, new Skills, Gadgets, and Weapons for all Classes, new Game Modes, changes to the Game Economy, and more.

As you read through the document, you'll see that I've really put a lot of thought into it, and these are conclusions I've reached after many hours of discussions with several hundred players I've met in these 3 months of The Finals, in different communities of the game, mainly through the official Discord of the game and other Discords that the community has created, both nationally in my country and internationally.

I'm making this post with the intention of improving the game and preventing it from dying, as it currently seems to be adrift and is really losing players. If the document seems harsh or too strict at times, it's because I like The Finals and I want it to succeed, and this can only be achieved with seriousness and diligence.

I hope you enjoy the megapost and keep providing your feedback; it's very valuable to me. Thank you for reading this far, and greetings.

Receiving TFGE0027 and TFAV1011 even though I am not a hacker. Nor have ever attempted to hack. Someone please help me resolve this

[amber sage]

Please add the raygun/raygun skin. It was teased in the launch trailer and it’s in the practice range. I will die happy having it in my loadout

[lilac lark]

I think dome shield should heal a bit that would be nice, also if you hold defib for long time like 10 secs it should give full health

[icy anvil]

OMG FR

[plush arch]

Duos mode

[delicate pecan]

Lately the game has gotten really buggy, my game keeps crashing outta nowhere

[rose surge]

Give light more team utility

[acoustic oyster]

Please add solos and dues

[real marlin]

Add extra days until season end, the matchmaking bug killed around 2k of my fp, and one of my reported bugs took away another 3k(still not given back) just extended it another week

[dense dagger]

Heavy should get a TTK nerf on most of its weapons.
Right now Heavy's TTK weapons are too small compare to Medium/Light Weapons.
Heavy already have gadgets like RPG/C4 for damage and Dome/M Shield/barricade for defense.
Heavy does not need to have the lowest TTK for its weapons.

SA1216: 45 damage per shot instead of 91 ? (8 shots to kill heavy instead of 4)
Lewis: 22 instead of 25 ? (16 shots instead of 14)
M60: 20 instead of 22 ? (18 shots instead of 16)

[west owl]

Sword should not be able to do so much damage so quickly. the lunge, animation cancel mellee and regular fire is a reidiculous combo

[fathom gale]

B O A T

[sour bane]

Defib is too strong an ability to be able to stack three Mediums in ranked and just triple Defib each fight.. Worst thing about ranked right now

And because it's such a cheese way to play (and the easiest), you see MMM compositions so much. Sucks the fun out of ranked playing "kill the cockroaches"

[fluid echo]

-Please change from having orange and yellow enemy teams. They can’t be differentiated in match and it’s very frustrating.
-Please add a minimap of some sort showing players, vaults, deposits, etc
Thank you for all you do

[neon sphinx]

we need new guns, smgs in particular. medium class needs a fast firing mid dmg smg and heavy needs a slow firing (semiautomatic) heavy/tactical rifle

[low falcon]

Increase VR cap to 10k or smth, and make it that once every unlockable is obtained, you can trade is ~10k VRs for ~50 multibucks. Most people will still pay for cosmetics, but people can also grind for them. More incentive for increased playtime perhaps?
Not a very polished idea ofc, but it could be nice if dont right.

[rough tapir]

Lights should have the ability to carry two weapons. Heavy has rpg, and medium has turret. Would make for Fun combos like sniper/pistol, double smg (so you don’t have to reload), etc. might help with balancing

[novel jasper]

not sure if theres really a way to make this not a thing but Ive been gettin way too many quick cash games where a team is just keeping the cash box to stall for time so their top fragger can go 17/14

[neon sphinx]

since we are only limited to one gun, gun catalog and customization should be the most diverse feature; more diversity, more retention.🧏

[sinful osprey]

Going off of that, we should be able to place more stickers on the gun, and place them wherever, like in csgo

[fathom gale]

Heavies:

[thin star]

Is anyone constantly getting kicked from steam? i play one game and crash every time..

[opaque anvil]

every player i que with is a fucking idiot who can never get higher then 2 kills

[hollow bramble]

Please change the meta it is killing my love for this game dying to the same 3 weapons every fight

[wild shale]

How can the game crash then when i load back in it tell me im suspended and take away 800 points

[small mirage]

Im just a player and a new one so that this with a grain of salt but I always hear complaining about lack of game modes.

• Sports mode: some sort of mode where people can use the throwing and catching mechanic to score in goals. Maybe add a melee push or stun to that game mode and get rid of guns and only use abilities and game mode specific push. (<16 mins)

• Quick cash 3v3 maybe make it shorter and give best of 3. (10 mins instead of 16mins. So <20-30mins)

• “Break the Bank”: players are separated into 2 teams of 3 with a RNG coin toss at the beginning giving the winning team the option to vote (2/3) on attacker or defender. Defender spawn at a point (either cashbox or objective) and need to defend for 3 minutes. Attackers spawn 150ish feet away and need to (either defuse/ hack a cashbox or capture a point, more players=faster) this stays for 2 rounds, where sides switch. Game continues until someone reaches 3 wins. If game goes into overtime (5th round) the team with the highest overall objective score (gained flat per player for defense win or points for hacking or time being on a point) gets to vote for attacker or defender. Last tiebreaker round is played. Additional the game mode would be interesting if each round (or turning point) the map reset to built position giving the attacker new unique ways to push each round. (<9-15 minutes)

[eager shard]

65 friends list but idk if theyre in game or in lobby waiting for invite

[sour bane]

Can we please take some team utility from Medium and give it to Light, cuz Light has very little team utility, meanwhile Medium is stacked with it

Also, something needs to be looked at or be done about triple Defib stacking. Ranked is such an unfun experience when there are triple Medium teams just Defibbing each kill

[lapis pollen]

Hope that season2 will revive the finals.

[tacit patrol]

I get so confused trying to see the difference between pink/red/orange in this game

[rustic hull]

An opacity slider for objectives / revive symbols would be pretty cool, also something to use VRs on once you've hit the 3000 limit? Maybe 3000VRs turns into 30 multibucks? Sounds like a pretty fair exchange and gives free2play players a change to earn anything they want to, even tho it'll take forever

[pine raft]

nerf fcar, it gets old really fast when u get killed with it or nukes every time u die. every single time u see a medium, he will have a fcar equipped and will beam u down in a second

[hollow bramble]

agree

[deft whale]

anyone else glitching during tournament mode after a game is done while waiting on the other teams to finish, where the camera goes back to first person mode and its all glitched out usually freezes after this too

[unique crane]

Remove the stun gun, clearly you wont balance it so get rid of it

[fierce nebula]

the game keeps crashing and i got suspended for abandoning? wtf!

[sour bane]

I don't understand why this gun's damage needs to be this high on a class that is very very very strong. It has just slightly less DPS than Light's best automatic SMG, but on a character with 100 more health.

It also has an extremely good hipfire, and it beams at range as well.

Don't understand Embark's balancing on Medium at all. This class has it all, when it doesn't need it all.

[quick coyote]

I literally started playing ranked like 2 days ago and I'm already getting q'd with plats and diamonds, wild.

[pseudo latch]

Day one of begging the devs to give heavy a KS23 four-gauge shotgun

[stable lagoon]

Agreed with the 1st point, sometimes It's hard to plant explosives or get revives from under the floor properly because the HUD blocks all vision.

But dunno about the VR to Multibucks conversion, Nexon is known to be a greedy company after all, doubt they'd approve of it even if it meant higher player retention. Like I have some cheap cosmetics I'd love to buy in the shop, but I never will unless I store up enough to buy the BP since that's a better investment and I'm currently f2p.

[exotic bay]

Can there be a change so that you could see if your friends are currently in a match?

[sour bane]

Adjust Defib for Mediums so when you have multiple Mediums, you can't just spam it. Fighting MMM is very unfun, even if they're not the most optimal ranked composition to play. It's just plain annoying.

[sand quest]

add a feature to pause the cashout timer when your stealing it its so dumb that it isnt in already 🤦‍♂️

[trail token]

Does anyone have a bug with guns and gadgets when u cannot shoot or set mines/ASP/jempuds etc ?
I just sometimes havent animation of shooting

[clever glade]

I just got into an hour long argument defending this game to one of my friend because he dislikes this game for using AI voices for the announcers, and while I personally see both the aesthetic appeal, and value of it, I also do not disagree with several of his points. I would love to comprehend what drove the choice to make this conversation even have to be a thing, and how this can be addressed. besides cost being the obvious thing, and the lack of available resources. those are obvious, but it's been worked around before. (i felt like it makes sense for the setting, but still it's hard to argue that.

[quick coyote]

I got scammed

[thorny pilot]

Honestly, I think they missed an interesting chance to have AI voices do something that only AI voices could do, like say player's names to make it feel more like it's being live commentated on (yeah I do realize the shenanigans that could happen here with that, but w/e)

[gaunt perch]

It has been several months now and the riot shield is still barely viable, it is hard countered by half the weapons and gadgets in the game and the first person animations do no line up with what the riot shield hitbox is actually doing in third person. I cannot do anything against grenade launchers, flamethrower or melee weapons. I cannot actually block things when I brace the shield and yet my arms and legs still get shot. When I crouch and slide the riot shield clips through the player model rendering it completely useless. The riot shield requires that I get way out of position and close the gap to my opponent, yet I do not have the health and shields of a Heavy nor the movement and escape options of a Light, I rely purely on the riot shield to protect me and if it can't reliably do that then it needs to be fixed in my opinion.

[cobalt coral]

Day 6 of asking for a real life Nama Tama Tamagochi. (almost a week YAY)

[ionic charm]

If the finals added; more weapons, more maps, no cheaters, better balance, more fair cashout locations, more cover around the map, louder footsteps unless you are using a melee weapon, weekly slight weapon rebalancing, ranked quick cash, a melee only mode in a small arena, lowering of the meta pigs in ranked, quality of life changes, friendly fire, lower ttk, and more skill expression in every weapon. If all these changes are made, there is no doubt in my mind, that the finals won't be the best game ever made.

[quick coyote]

Feels like the game is so deep down that even balance won't make it flourish. Queue times are longer than ever, lobbies mostly end up empty. Still have hope.

[quick dew]

can we get a pistol for medium plspslspslpslspsls

[earnest ermine]

Idk what you're talking about it usually takes only a few seconds to get into a match for me (EU)

[tacit frost]

Heheheha

[remote bolt]

Ur mad abt one of the only pieces of equipment light has? A light breeze can kill any light, stun gun is not in a good place right now but removing it is not the answer

[lime lichen]

i agree just remove light instead

[raven hatch]

I bought a new cpu and Windows 11 crashing stopped. It's the new engine. 7800x3d beast. Embark please let use use our settings when the team announcement is beign made.

[quick coyote]

EU btw. Quick cash sometimes averages 1m queue.

that makes 0 sense, bronze plat and diamond

[rough herald]

pls add viacle, its dose not even have to do damage or have any utility i just want to drive into people

[quick coyote]

so what are yall going to do about cheaters i have been in multipul games going again this cheater 3 days in a row and he is not banned yet what are you guys doing about the cheater problem

that would be great, i'm having to play on European servers with my mates and the latency screws me over so often

is it possible to add function to play only with solo q players when soloqueueing

So are we getting the quick melee out of emote functionality back?...

[bold lantern]

Filename 202402160637 so you took that screenshot last friday at 06:37, no shit the queue is gonna take a while that early (late?) on a weekday.
Not going to deny the average queue time is a little longer, but that's not a realistic example at all.

@wicked void joke was that he probably pulled an all-nighter, hence "late?".

early
if it were 18:37 servers would be PACKED

Yea sometimes its bugged and reversed buttons sometimes, u just need to turn around try

another note is its particularly bad when facing melees with the latency. I love getting hit when i'm well over 5m away from some crackhead light or sledge bro chasing me

[upper saddle]

The Imbalance of Light, Medium and Heavy builds in the ranked meta with the abundance of Fcar usage among mediums and complaints by Heavies levied against the Fcar users may have some more deeply rooted and shared causes starting with the dominance of Heavy's close range fire power and may be something to look into, Lights are unable to exist in the same room as an enemy Heavy without instantly getting coined by an auto shotgun and the Fcar is so dominate over other medium weapons because it's the Medium's best long ranged option and the Mediums much like Lights- do not like being near an enemy Heavy in most situations.

I think a solution is potentially adjusting the stats on certain weapons such as giving the 1887 a couple more meters of effective range before a damage drop off to increase it's combat ability against heavy's close range weapons without giving it a direct damage increase could be a step in the right direction, allowing the riot shield to block flamer direct hits similar to a dome or mesh shield may also be a step in the right direction, allowing mediums to have better options for close quarters engagements against Heavies in particular, while Lights with a solid mid ranged option rather than their many short or long ranged options could help them find more angles of attack against heavies.

If Lights have more options to start fights at a safer range effectively they may become picked more often and if Mediums have better options for contending with Heavy's close range options to fight on more fair terms they may opt to take the Fcar less often, with Heavies not just being the best close range class in the game out right in a game where we must take many in door fights to secure objectives may help to further balance the ratio of classes used.

Although there are likely other ways to approach this issue, these are just my thoughts on it and a potential solution, there are likely better solutions that are easier to implement.

Great I just did a tournament in rank I plat 1 almost diamond I played with a silver and a bronze. I have never seen such a painful system in my entire life. Let's add to this the fact that with my PC which has a 13th generation i5 with a 3060ti gaming, constantly having the CPU at 70/80% and having seen some of my friends having to abandoning the game because their CPU was constantly at 100% not seeing the developers do anything makes me even more angry, this is a beautiful fps that I would play all day but in this state without an update for a failed rank system designed I really don't know who and a broken optimization makes me think about just uninstalling it, I won't wait 20 days in the hope that at the end of the season you decide to make some fixes. Having said that, thank you for your attention and have a good day.

[hallow ruin]

Idea:
Whenever some1 gets a triple kill or wipes a team (like killing all 3 solo) the public should scream hyped, and Scotty and June should comment on it

DAY 5️⃣ since nuke death of asking to swap Heavy and Light DPS

Light can kill heavy at least just as well as heavy can kill light thanks to smaller hitbox, better DPS, better speed, better recoil (and maybe thanks to a faster firerate too), which are more than enough to compensate for less HP. With difference being, light can go in and out whenever he wants, but heavy - not really. He is just a big fat slow prey and his shield only makes him even more noticeable and slower. Yeah, heavy has RPG, but it has big CD, can deal up to 252 self damage to himself, can be disabled with stun or glitch and keeps getting nerfed and nerfed. And stun gun...Stun gun can render 2, if not 3 out of 6 heavy weapons useless if the light isn't a complete moron and knows to keep just a bit of distance. Also, while heavy can defend himself with his shield, he can't against sword. And his shield prevents him from shooting and makes him slower. A light wouldn't even need to wear down his own defenses to wear down heavy's.

The situation somewhat changes when heavy has a team, but why does heavy need a team and light doesn't? Why should HEAVY be hunted down by none other than a single light? Why does HEAVY, the HEAVY hitter, the HEAVY artillery, the guy with HEAVY and big guns deals the least amount of damage with his weapons? And even with a team, light's glitch grenades are quite good against heavy and light's DPS and stun gun is quite good at preventing heavy from stealing a cash.

In the meantime, people complain that light isn't very useful in teamplay and ranked. So, maybe swap heavy and light DPS and give light more teamplay, team utility and usefullness. Now, that the nukes, which was the main thing that gave heavy his heavy firepower, are killed, it's about time.
And rework MGL

[rough acorn]

For the love of god please stop with your daily nonsense yapping

[plain patio]

driveable vehicles? elaborate

[signal basin]

Agree with you.
From my point of view, you can't balance weapons properly with 3 class who got so much HP diff. Make it 200/250/300 HP and it Will easier to balance weapons after this.

[lapis pollen]

You kinda convinced me

I want to see if the developers really balance the game according to the community.

It would be interesting if they actually nerf light

[junior lagoon]

Yeah it would really be great to be able to experience the game without high ping. I hope the Embark team adds a server for South Africa at some point.

[quick coyote]

nukes are not dead

[upper saddle]

I'm not sure if adjusting health pools so dramatically would be a good idea since most weapons are finely tuned to have specific ttk's against certain classes, such as the R.357 having exactly 74 damage so it never one shots lights from full hp but still has meaningful impact against both mediums and heavies without making the heavies feel oppressed by it and making their health pool seem meaningless, many weapons that are balanced now would need adjusted stats because of it and could make even worse balance issues than we see now. it may be better to reduce the damage or other stats of certain weapons instead to ensure a healthy sandbox where most weapons see some pretty regular use. But I'm always happy to see and trade opinions with people to see how the community is feeling about things.

[lone plinth]

Idea for a new Game Event, let's call it "Bullet time". At random intervals everything moves 50% slower for 10 seconds (players, objects, bullets etc.) Something like in The Matrix, Max Payne etc.

[jagged cedar]

They don't

@lone plinth would be interesting except this game uses hitscan instead of projectiles for bullets

[errant flame]

Light:
Specs now reduce HP regen delay:
Each sec spent Cloaked reduces the delay by 0.5s
Hook - by 2-3s
Each dash - by 1s
Taking damage resets the delay and reduction.
New spec:
Time machine:
Brings back the user to the current spot after N seconds. All carriables can be brought along.
-TP back can’t be triggered manually
-50 dmg upon TP back. If you survive, restores HP as it was before using the ability minus 50.
-TP back doesn’t work if you haven’t moved at least 20 m
-User glows when ability is active and leaves a trace behind himself revealing recent part of is path
-Doesn’t restore CDs on gadgets or negate DOT ticks
-Timer has a random part to it. E.g. 10s +- 3s

Gadgets:
Added:
Heal grenade. Heals allies for 50-90 HP over 2s, user - for 25-45 HP. Delay before exploding. Heals enemies too for 25-45 HP
-Sonar grenade
-Dart - 2 charges on light. Successful shot increases the damage by 10%
Reworked:
-Night vision
-Motion sensor and Glitch radius increase
-Extra frag grenade
-Stun – 2 charges, each lasts for 2s. Target can ADS.

Weapon nerfs:
-Sword
DMG reduced to 66
Swing rate reduced a little
5-6 swings as ammo/charges after which it gets a short pause.
-M11 – DPS 190-200
-XP-54/V9S – DPS 180-190
-SH1900 – DMG – 135
-Knives – DMG – 90

Medium:
-Healing beams can’t be stacked. Heal rate is slightly nerfed
-Defib i-frames slightly nerfed
-Defib has a short CD after getting revived

Heavy:
Gadgets:
-Bring back old damage and radius on RPG and C4
-C4 is thrown and detonated faster
-Dome shield deployed faster and its old HP is restored

-Shield HP reduced to 800.

Weapons:
Lewis Gun - 230 DPS
M60 – 240 DPS
FT– overall DPS increased by 30-50%
SA1216 – each shard deals 9 dmg. Firerate is 80-85% of current one. DPS increase: 2.8%-9.3%
MGL32:

1. Grenades explode on contact, but heavier. This will both keep the weapon more unwieldy with increasing distance and positioning on higher ground desirable
2. Reload & self-damage slightly increased. Demolition in 6 shots

[signal basin]

I'm saying this because it would save light from one shot when they get hit anything before blowing up and be more usefull for the team. The pick rate will be higher and people will not leave if they see light in ranked.

For the heavy, they will be force to think a bit before rushing everywhere and laser anything with Lewis. And after this, medium will see their weapons nerf a bit (hello fcar).
From my point of view, weapons should be the point of TTK not the HP players

[raven hatch]

Give us the settings to switch between screens

[strong escarp]

Revert the Glitch Grenade nerf. It's the one thing that gave Light massive team utility, for countering the exorbitant levels of sustain that Heavy/Medium teams have.

[daring fossil]

obviously it's not a nuke 👏 , but it demonstrates why nukes are broken, like 10+ feet away and 280 damage is totally fine 🙄 . There's 2 c4 on the cashout, and I took damage from 2 c4, I know, math's hard.

[cosmic blade]

Any reason why I have crossplay off on Xbox, yet every game I’m the only Xbox player in the lobby against pc players?!?? Doing my head in.

[daring fossil]

3 weeks of grinding, several hours a day, probably over 50 hours total, for 1 weapon level. XP requirement/gains seem totally balanced 🙄. Also, please make the LH1 viable again, it's useless at hipfiring beyond 3 feet and should have ZERO spread when ADSing and rapid firing. single shot guns like the LH1 and Revolver should have no spread when ADSing. There is so much bullet RNG in this game it's actually the stupidest shit I've ever seen in a shooter.

[whole plover]

I hope they can fix this asap... it happens to me as a medium too, c4 is pretty powerful

stun gun should stun the enemy for maybe an extra 0.5s or 1s if you get a headshot, makes trying to line up a headshot more rewarding but it’s quite risky

It's not that it's bad to play on a controller, it's just that playing on a controller means playing with extremely bad sensitivity and a lot of input lag, they need to add new controller sensitivity options, sorry, my english is so bad xd

3.1.5.1. Defibrillator
Defibrilator should be a Skill and not a Gadget, and it's something HUNDREDS of people I've spoken to agree on at +550 hours of play; and no it’s not an exaggeration.
This Gadget it is so, but so, so, so, so OP, that it is the best Gadget in the game by far to the point that it should be a Skill to avoid certain combinations and force the player to choose between reviving or healing, but never both at the same time.

The compositions of 3 Mediums with 3 Defibrillators + 3 Healing Beams would be over.
The compositions of 1 Heavy + 2 Mediums with 2 Defibrillators + 2 Healing Beams would be over.
And in general, all the abusive compositions of Defibrillator + Healing Beam would be over.
Because this is the main problem, that it's too OP to be able to insta-revive and also heal a person with the same character; you either do one thing or the other, but both is an unfair abuse.
I think the most correct, and I agree with those hundreds of players who think the same, is that the Defibrillator stops being a Gadget and becomes a Skill, and that players are forced to choose between reviving or healing (or any other Skill). Obviously, being a Skill should have a lower cooldown (perhaps 30 seconds instead of 45s), and it should also revive players with 80~100% of their total health, and not with 40% as it currently does.

[potent wraith]

Hey, is there any chance we're getting custom games anytime soon? A lot of people are into in-game easter egg hunting but don't like ruining games for their teammates while searching..

[obsidian solar]

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here's some suggestions, I know all of these together would make the shield pretty strong but even 1 or 2 would be enough to improve it so much!:

• While blocking movement speed should be the same as walking (increasing block movement speed would help a lot in pushing and giving your teammates support)
• Lunge distance (90% of the fight become a chase you can't win, the other classes have ways to block enemies, slow them down or catch up to them, even heavies have RPG to finish people off if they use sledge)
• Increase damage from 84 to 90 (to kill heavies in 4 hits instead of 5)
• Add a charge like attack, to activate it press the attack button while blocking kinda like charge N slam, of course less powerful and without the destruction effect, it would add variety, also all the other melee weapons have two attacks)

IMPROVE MELEE TRACKING:

• Some weapons like the Dagger have an insane lock that is not needed, on the other hand the Riot Shield has a very weak lock, you can't even hit people in your face sometimes. Consider increasing the angle at which the lock works and reduce the lock strenght on the Dagger

FIX THE DAGGER BACKSTAB:

• Backstabs with the Dagger are the most incosistent thing I've ever seen, a lot times either nothing happens or it's not backstab even though you're right behind them and other times it is when you're literally in front of them.
• Increase the backstab hitboxes because the latency of the servers causes this problems
• Make it so you can hold the backstab and it's not a forced animation, revert it like it was in the Open Beta

bro is asking for Light dps nerfs and heavy dps buffs, what would Light even get at that point? Heavy already as way too high dps for how tanky it is

@errant flame so basically zero fight and team value in exchange for "being fast"? (already mostly the case)*'

@errant flame swapped to #💥┇spawn-point

[errant flame]

Speed, sneakiness, hitbox, mobility
@violet elbow His role is to carry cashbox, finish people off and "hit'n'run" (as per description) not "kill'n'run"
He should be the least combat oriented class. At least head on and direct one
If they give him more team utility through gadgets in exchange, that's fine

[plush grotto]

Remove cooldown on grapple hook and add Spider-Man skin

[atomic drum]

I hope in the future there will be game recording and video, which will not only be useful for players but also help against cheating

[sour bane]

Agreed. Defib is way too good to be able to have three Mediums have it. So frustrating and annoying to play against

[spark girder]

Defib needs its invuln removed and to become an ability

[versed carbon]

Move the light's dmr (m14) in the medium class and the recon sense in the light class

[oblique peak]

That’s genuinely a horrible idea and the only way that defibrillators would not instantly become the worst skill is if the cooldown for the defib was shorter, which would then make it the best skill

Just shoot the guy using the heal beam, he can’t exactly attack while he’s doing it

[eager vine]

Give a compensation for Xbox users where the VOIP is not working half the time, it lowers my ranks since I could play better with communication in ranked

day 5 of asking for frog outfit

[clever charm]

Better AKM vs FCAR - I think we need more distinction whether to use AKM or FCAR as base clip vs dps.

AKM should have higher crit/headshot damage and lower FCAR crit/headshot. This allows AKM to fish more headshot/burst damage and still cater FCAR as bodyshot/sustain damage

[quick coyote]

Hi

[open anchor]

Nerf the FUCKING mesh shield, in gonna kill myself if I get by a 2 brain celled monkey where I'm about to kill them they activate their mesh shield and then proceed to kill me
It is the most bullshit fucking Monkey move. Also you shouldn't be able to shoot through the god damn bubble (I'm usually not this upset but I can't deal with this anymore)

[spark girder]

It’s a great idea. Easily the single most impactful gadget that needs to be run 100% of the time

[vital kite]

this is me typing to level up to 1

[tame pivot]

The conclusion is wrong tho, you would still have MMM with either 2 defibs 1 healer or vise versa and MMH with one of each, all it would really do is really cement HHM ( just heals you don't need defibs ) as the unstoppable team comp. The real way to deal with gadget stacking is forcing LMH comp in ranked instead of watering everything down

[queen cloud]

While I agree heavy needs a big nerf. The mesh shield is in a good state, it fits the role perfectly and it's balanced well enough.

What doesn't make sense is the amount of burst dmg heavy can deal. By combining nuke/rpg + swaping to lewis/shotgun.

[sour bane]

As a Light Plat ranked player, I feel fairly strongly at how powerful stacking equipment/abilities are in this game. One Medium with one heal beam and one Defib paddle is not OP, but when you have multiple, it feels extremely overbearing. Yes, I know some people are going to say that MMM isn't the best composition, but it's the easiest to get value out of because you get an extra life each team fight.

I really believe Defib needs to be looked at, either be able to cancel the charge when shot at (so you can't just panic Defib during the middle of a fucking fight while being actively being shot at), or introduce a team cooldown on this ability.

Defib is so strong, so impactful, and such low risk, that it shouldn't just be spammable the more Mediums you have. It is plain frustrating to play against.

Other than that, I think the game is actually in a decent place, other than the state of ranked matchmaking.

[spark girder]

The fact that people would still use defib as a must pick when nerfed to an ability proves my point that’s it’s OP beyond belief.

Also screw the 15 min cooldown on this chat

[upper citrus]

remove nukes

[slow yew]

Personally I think they should nerf the turrets and mines the entire meta is just all mediums one with a healing beam and the other two with turrets while they all have gas and explosive mines maybe glitch mines

[tame pivot]

People pick the turret doesn't mean it's OP lol

The idea that MMM or HMM is OP when you have HHM in the game with quad shields double RPG double nukes and the 2 best guns in the game is absurd

[sinful osprey]

They could add an ability for the lights to where they can see and disable either one or a few gadgets through walls, for example if a team had a turret placed in the corner which was causing trouble, the light could disable it making it easier to take point. They could also use this ability to see where mines are placed around the point which then they could tell their team and destroy them. This would give lights more “team utility” since that’s what people want, but it’s just an idea tho

[quick coyote]

glitch nade, problem solved. i know i know, you dont want to play light to counter heavies. everyone wants the class that they main to counter every class and gadget. boring. honestly ranked should force LMH, people will learn there are counters to everything that annoys you.

[rapid shale]

Why are lights so trash rn? Give them some team utility

[spark girder]

Turret is probably the worst example you can give as medium’s abilities all are worth taking and you see all 3 a lot.

Turret isn’t picked almost 100% of the time and it’s not considered throwing to not use it like the defib is.

I’m all for cutting mesh’s health to half of what it is now and I’d prefer dome shield to block everyone’s bullets from the outside and nobody’s from the inside.

[quick coyote]

🙄 🙄 🙄 another heavy nerf request. ugh. bubble is already weak, Q shield can be a handicap unless youre CQ with a shotty, in which if you have a brain dont chase the heavy with a shotty in CQ. This isnt a run and gun game, use your gadgets, prep for counters and play the objective.

[tame pivot]

Imo the right way to deal with MMH HHM and MMM would be to force LMH. Defib and healbeam isn't an issue if only one person has them, mesh shield + bubble shield isn't an issue if only one person runs them. The problem is class stacking not the gadgets themselves, the class stacking problem will also possibly be a recurring problem with any impactful gadget/specialisation added to the game

You have to take into account that medium currently can have their cake and eat it too with defib + any of their strong abilities,

light is unusable without providing any team or objective stealing utility like the other two can.

heavy mesh shield is way stronger than charge/goo. + dome is way too forgiving.

Fix those things and we won’t have to go down the same route as Overwatch and restrict freedom because the devs can’t balance stacking classes.

[quick coyote]

Charged slam is easily the better specialization, it just isnt meta. And I beg to differ that a stacked Light team isnt OP. You havnt ran into the evasive sword dash gods with stun and glitch nades. And I am not complaining, its quite a challenge and fun to play against as any class.

[cursive island]

hey guys, do you if there are gonna be changes made to the ranking system? I keep getting matched against top 500 Players as a Silver 2. I just dont know how smth like this gonna keep people playing the game... 120 hours btw

[raven hatch]

ERROR: TFMR0100. Cant find game or getting this error when trying to crossplay with someone on PS5 ranked matches.

[tame pivot]

Even if you make defib a specilization you will run into MMM running 1 defibs 2 healbeams or the other way around, it doesn't fix the issue of stacking mediums, making defibs a specialization could have the opposite effect and force more people to play medium since running one medium who has to choose between healing and defibs in a comp like LMH would be handicapped compared to MMH or MMM which wouldn't have to choose between the 2

[sour bane]

As a Light Plat ranked player, I feel fairly strongly at how powerful stacking equipment/abilities are in this game. One Medium with one heal beam and one Defib paddle is not OP, but when you have multiple, it feels extremely overbearing. Yes, I know some people are going to say that MMM isn't the best composition, but it's the easiest to get value out of because you get an extra life each team fight.

I really believe Defib needs to be looked at, either be able to cancel the charge when shot at (so you can't just panic Defib during the middle of a fucking fight while being actively being shot at), or introduce a team cooldown on this ability.

Defib is so strong, so impactful, and such low risk, that it shouldn't just be spammable the more Mediums you have. It is plain frustrating to play against. It's also making the ranked meta so stale.. like it's so boring.

Other than that, I think the game is actually in a decent place, other than the state of ranked matchmaking.

Nerf LH1

[jagged cedar]

What game are you playing where dome is bad a mesh is a handicap

[shadow nimbus]

make the fcar 25

[real salmon]

Turret meta is making me not want to play rn

[lament talon]

You shouldn't nerf heavy too much you should try to give light a bit more HP or a passive so it's more viable.

Light doesn't need more DMG they already have a healthy amount

[quick coyote]

I can say the same to you. Bubble can go down as soon as its up. If your team doesnt focus fire, thats a skill issue.

Nerf it all. Let's just have one class and one weapon. Medium FCAR. Then everyone will be happy

Edit. The remaining players will be happy

[open summit]

Wasting a whole clip just to destroy one I think it should have a health of a light player

[floral thorn]

A full team of any "god players" will be a pain to deal with those teams of triple light would do even better if they were playing medium. @real salmon heal beam is way better than turret and recon is arguablly better than turret as well

[jagged cedar]

If the done went up and it got shot instead of you then it did its job. If you want sustained cover that you can shoot from I would recommend barricades. People expect dome to be this free shielding that doesn't let you get shot while behind for an infinite amount of time but it really isn't.

[quick coyote]

Im aware the bubble is essentially a delay tactic. I main heavy. But as it is, its already weak and no longer needs a nerf. Charged slam is actually a better choice to dome

Remove the cloak sound from vanish.

[verbal wharf]

Add more weapons to medium

[floral thorn]

If its already weak why are 90% of top 500 heavy players using mesh shield and dome lmao . @severe wave but but im gold too lmao (close to plat without much grinding tho)\

[severe wave]

Gold people think heavy shield is weak dont even argue with them😂 @floral thorn Then your someone who has gamesense theres people who grind all day and cry about heavys being too weak hahaha

[vital kite]

whats up game feedback

[quick coyote]

Undo all nerfs, game is dumb and boring now

[humble needle]

give light class a shorty pump breaching shotgun, 3-4 round tube magazine

[quick coyote]

youre gold??? that explains it. btw top 500 runs that because it counters majority of what the players run. if more play light with glitch nades, that meta for top 500 will change. And fyi my argument isnt that heavies are too weak, I was simply saying the shields do not need more nerfs, the meta needs to change. People want their kit to beat everyone elses and thats not how this game is to be played.

Yall play 1 way and it shows.

[stable lagoon]

Doubt they'll ever let it happen, but just in case:

Let people spend VRs on getting Multibucks (3000 for 30, hardly enough for buying sets but good enough for getting smaller cosmetics like badge and back items)

Or at the very least, add a VR currency Shop to buy exclusive cosmetic items that can only be found there

Or add Multibucks rewards for ranked tournaments, simple as.

Dunno, something to keep players actually engaged, instead of feeling like there's nothing to do, especially for the majority of players who already unlocked all items, maxed out the VRs, Battle Pass and the XP level cap.

[floral thorn]

No people run mesh shield because it tanks 1000 damage that they could have taken and you can shield your teamate while they steal or use it on a zipline. dome distracts the enemy or allows you to block grenades, bullets, and (if your lucky) nukes. light wont be played in ranked because if a mhm team is playing together they get either 1. triple sprayed and die in less than a second or 2. they get rpged or nuked. they have good mobility and glitch nades are useful but they wont be used because light wont be played.

@quick coyote 80% of my matches are vs plat/diamond/top 500. Ive played pookout at least 2 times at this point lmao

@shrewd vine EXACTLY

@quick coyote Im not disagreeing. the heavy shield doesn't need more nerfs. the thing i dissagreed about was that charge and slam is better than shield and that triple light is viable lmao

[warm raven]

is it me or i feel like since they changed how the xp works now its to easy to complete the season pass?

[shrewd vine]

I feel like people put too much stock into the validity of peoples feedback based on their rank. The ranked system itself is a joke at the moment, and serves as an extremely wide approximation at best. I still think 'better' players should have their criticism valued more highly but the vast, vast majority of players are not diamonds that can play the game hours every day, accumulating elo over time because of the disproportionate gains vs losses.

[quick coyote]

only 2 times 😂? and pookout isnt the best player here in terms of skill, there are sweatier top 500 players out there. buddy im dia, but the shields are not the issue. Nobody wants to run what counters heavy shields period. Very 1 dimensional player and it speaks.

when i said triple lights, i was simply arguing that even a stacked L team can be OP like triple H and M.

Charged slam is 1000% better than Q shield for multitude of reasons and its usually picked when there are double heavies on a team amongst higher ranked teams its just not meta because Q shield is easier to use and to be effective with a team you dont have a ton of hours with.

Biggest advantage to having charged slam is defending cashouts. It goes through everything, you bump people off objective and you can still survive if the environment has enough obstacles to block shots/players

[wet light]

Spear coming in s2?

[quick coyote]

s2 is season 2?

[strong geyser]

Can you make a game mode where every build can equip every weapon and gadget, for the first week of April? Or is that like really hard to code and to much work for one week?
I just think it would be funny (and game breaking of course but lets be honest things like buildings breaking in this game are really cool)

[severe crescent]

Please remove the nukes please

[warm raven]

yes

[smoky gust]

id love to see a 3v3 game mode

it would just be an even faster quick cash match where you don't have to worry about about a 3rd party stealing after your fight
could also be useful for trying out new stuff or warming up

[floral thorn]

This is would be awesome. unless its a weekend i usually dont have time to actually play more than 1 full ranked game. (also lets you practice for the final round of ranked)
@quick coyote personally i would argue that charge and slam is better only in solo que. in a team that plays together shield is 1000% better than charge but way harder to get use of if your team isn't playing on you

[quick coyote]

Nerf cancer

[young hearth]

make a mode where only 1 of each build can be used

[echo minnow]

too much cheater in this game... wtf

[quick coyote]

this should be true for ranked play. LMH

Give lights a little more health. All I play against in ranks is M and H 99% of the time

[floral thorn]

Make it so this channel is specifically for suggestions without talking in it by adding a voting system. And make a channel called game discussion to talk about suggestions. Also please add role que to ranked (lmh) . Also lehshanks I'll try charge and slam later today to test it. What else do you run with it so I can get your full view for a better perspective. @quick coyote

[obtuse wedge]

that sounds fun, tho it will increase the time of get into a match

SBMM whit this player base bad bad idea

[subtle saddle]

would love to see mirrors edge/ parkour based movement added! either class wide or maybe as a special for L? I think the maps would be absolutely perfect for it. And with 50% of the games objective being: "get from point A to point B fast" i think parkour would fit very nicely. please thank you 🙏

mirrors edge's "momentum" system was awesome and rewarded good pathing and quick thinking. if implemented class wide it would be cool if top speeds, acceleration/momentum buildup, and animation speed was different per class (fast for Light, Slow for Medium, and Slower for heavy) so the classes still feel different from each other but so an experienced heavy can still get around and not feel so stiff! or maybe im trippin idk W or L chat

the skill expression would go crazy with somethin as simple as just moving around the games arena

[fading cobalt]

The only way I would ever consider spending money in this game is if it I could do so by spending real currency only, no spending real money to buy fake money. Show me the real cost, don't obscure it. Sure, I can do the simple math to figure it out, but even then that would leave me with an awkward amount of Fun Bucks left over. The goal is to trick players into a loop of spending.

Deep Rock Galactic respects me enough to just show the real cost, and I repaid them by buying cosmetics.

[quick coyote]

They actually have this game mode already if you can make it to the finals in ranked. It's not as exciting as it sounds, imo

[left sand]

Tactical reloads are broken, can’t switch off the basic one, was working fine till recently

[manic umbra]

I swear some of the people who play lights in this game are fucking ruining it, and i'm talking about those incompetent fools who pick sniper stand 20 miles away and shoot without supporting the team... to my knowledge it's funny because its ALWAYS them complaining about shit and getting what they want (apparently)

solution... since this game is about TEAMWORK, make snipers and long range weapons only available in a potential SOLO game mode, actually better yet, give the light class DEFENSIVE equipment only since their fast movement alone is enough to play offensive

BTW people who also experience the braindead sniper lights that play at a distance without helping the team... pick heavy and do what i do.. destroy the high ground they stand on and ruin equally ruin the game for them as they ruin the game for us by playing again SOLO in a TEAM game,

By the way i literally just won a game because some fool decided to help us by eliminating our opponents for us as they tried to steal our last cashout even tho they were on 0$ like???? if i were on the other team i'd be pissed how is that fun for anyone??

[smoky gust]

That's the point
I really enjoy the final round but I have to go through the whole tournament to play it
It doesn't need extra excitement either, its just a little different from the normal game mode so that those whole prefer it can play it

And that comes alongside other small benefits like being less likely to meet a full stack, no 3rd parties, the rounds being quicker, ect.

[copper valve]

The game is stale and boring. Nobody plays the objective, so if you queue solo you end up just frustrated as hell. But then not many of the other side play the objectives either. 1 team could have the cashout and the 3rd team just frag hunt for no reason

For the love of god please make the ranking system in season 2 way more skilled based. Make people lose way more elo for losing and actually make it so you only fight against ur own rank.

Increase the lewis gun spray recoil or reduce the amout of bullets the gun have, the gun have 47 bullets and no recoil at all. how this is even fair. Increase the Fcar spray recoil because its so easy to control.

[ebon elbow]

The game really doesn’t need any changes except

Making pre picked classes mandatory for matchmaking in ranked (MHL)

add more settings for accessibility on consoles including fixing the pickup,interact and reloading weapons button being the same and adding mnk support to consoles as this is a CROSSPLAY game

This game has a massive problem. The devs are showing clear hatred against the gun named "F-car" . This can almost come up as racism since its base skin is colored black, or more kindly put "darker". The game named "The finals" has been out for a couple of months and one of the most used guns has not been showed enough love. We've seen skins added to the ak 47 copy multiple times while its brother, the "F-car" hasnt seen skins added in a good while. I think this is a clear case of discrimination and a violation against guns rights! copy paste this so we can spread the word

[obsidian solar]

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here's some suggestions, I know all of these together would make the shield pretty strong but even 1 or 2 would be enough to improve it so much!:

• While blocking movement speed should be the same as walking (increasing block movement speed would help a lot in pushing and giving your teammates support)
• Lunge distance (90% of the fight become a chase you can't win, the other classes have ways to block enemies, slow them down or catch up to them, even heavies have RPG to finish people off if they use sledge)
• Increase damage from 84 to 90 (to kill heavies in 4 hits instead of 5)
• Add a charge like attack, to activate it press the attack button while blocking kinda like charge N slam, of course less powerful and without the destruction effect, it would add variety, also all the other melee weapons have two attacks)

IMPROVE MELEE TRACKING:

• Some weapons like the Dagger have an insane lock that is not needed, on the other hand the Riot Shield has a very weak lock, you can't even hit people in your face sometimes. Consider increasing the angle at which the lock works and reduce the lock strenght on the Dagger

FIX THE DAGGER BACKSTAB:

• Backstabs with the Dagger are the most incosistent thing I've ever seen, a lot times either nothing happens or it's not backstab even though you're right behind them and other times it is when you're literally in front of them.
• Increase the backstab hitboxes because the latency of the servers causes this problems
• Make it so you can hold the backstab and it's not a forced animation, revert it like it was in the Open Beta

[hallow ruin]

I have been playing with throwing knives lately, even tho I know they are weaker then other weapons, and I think I have an idea how to make them better:

1. Increased fire rate
2. Increased projectile speed OR increased projectile hitbox OR both but not so much
3. Right clkick should charge much faster and it should be possible to hold it charged and ready (but with like some movement penalty)

[signal root]

Any plans on adding a full auto accessibility feature?

[junior lagoon]

Dear Devs. Please can the continent of Africa have one server, example locations would be Cape Town or Johannesburg (South Africa), there are datacenters in these locations which other games such as Battlefield / Valorant / CS2 / COD / R6S leverage. There is a market in Southern Africa, a lot of players from areas like the Reunion Islands / Mauritius also leverage South African servers, and it's a good location to provide better access to Sub-Saharan Africa. The infrastructure exists and we have large games with servers here to prove it. Please consider players in Southern Africa. The infrastructure exists in South Africa (RSA), we have an AWS datacenter, Azure Datacenter, direct connections to the undersea cables which run to Europe.

[woven kayak]

I think the game is pretty good

[south sedge]

Well, I'm answering his point for saying "Plat ranked player" and my point is either you're plat or diamond doesn't mean you're good, just get better in game and stop complaining whenever you get killed.

However, not everyone can get a rank even if he is putting ton of hours into the game, I know a friend of mine still gold despite he is playing since the beta.

This man complains about everything, and whoever gives ideas to make the game better, he responds to them rudely and makes fun of them, even though he only cries when he loses a game.

[plain patio]

Was just scrolling up through convo - Loop has mentioned something that has been talked about from multiple people, defibs absolutely do need a nerf. Im not sure why you're percieving it as complaining when honestly his feedback was quite straight to the point. A team cooldown for defib has been mentioned multiple times beforehand.

Once again asking for a map queue.

I understand the common criticism against this is that it will create a centralized map, but even if that is the case, then force a rotation of x map, z map, y map, whatever. In the current game, it seems to be down to random chance what map you queue in to. This creates days where sometimes the spread is even, but also days where you constantly play the same map with varying variations that add little to nothing to the game.

I try so hard to love the game and even play ranked despite the dozens of shortcomings that one can see only after a few matches, but this is probably my biggest gripe, that I simply can't play the map I want, or rather, I'm being forced to play the same map over and over.

[uneven rampart]

I would love to see some drastic changes to the following weapons:

*FCAR headshot damage reduction by about 5-10 damage, just to give the AKM some room for competition.

*M60 Hip fire Reduction and rate of fire increased, this is to give the weapon a "SMG Vibe" and an identity away from the Lewis Gun without nerfing it.

*Riot Shield. I do not like the damage per second or the protection of this weapon, it needs a buff of either spectrum, not both but one or the other to give it something of value cause right now its the worst medium weapon out there by FAR.

This is just how I feel about it, some may like my suggestions others do not.

The M60 and the Riot Shield are the ones I am mostly vocal about here.

The skin distrebution is not good at all

(The basic skins that are available for multiple weapons and gadgets have been excluded)

LIGHT CLASS
Dagger | 3 skins
LH1 | 2 skins
M11 | 4 skins
SH1900 | 2 skins (+1 battlepass skin)
SR-84 | 2 skins
Sword | 2 skins
Throwing Knives | 1 skin (+1 battlepass skin)
V9S | 3 skins (+1 battlepass skin)
XP-54 | 3 skins

MEDIUM CLASS
AKM | 8 skins
CL-40 | 1 skin
FCAR | 2 skins
Model 1887 | 2 skins
R .357 | 4 skins (+2 battlepass skins)
Riot Shield | 0 skins 😭

HEAVY CLASS
Flamethrower | 3 skins
Lewis Gun | 0 skins (+1 battlepass skin)
M60 | 4 skins
MGL32 | 3 skins
SA1216 | 3 skins
Sledge Hammer | 3 sklins (+1 battlepass skin)

There is no reason for weapons like the AKM and R .357 to have 8 and 6 skins respectively, but weapons like the Lewis Gun, CL-40 and Riot Shield to have 0-1 skin each.
Especially guns like the FCAR which is widely used yet it is lacking heavily in the skin department compared to something like the AKM.
Please just stop dickriding these few guns and actually take a look at some of your more neglected weapons.

Also please allow us to buy specific items from bundles without having to buy the entire bundle.

Thank you <3

The display ID having to be the Embark ID has got to go. Activision (meh) was able to make it seamless with the COD franchise, but for some reason The Finals can't handle it. Before I realized I had to change my Embark ID, me and my friends on other platforms were constantly annoyed that our names were coming up as random ID's when we played. If anything, give us the option to update/change our ID in the game itself. We shouldn't have to navigate to an external site to do that.

GUNS IDEA
I have an idea for the game, since we already bought everything in the weapons store and the vrs is no longer useful, I propose an idea to spend the vrs on xp for the weapons, that is, unlock weapon skins with the vrs since the vrs in a future will stop being useful since we bought everything, in fact I already have everything and the vrs is of no use to me, so I propose that the vrs can be spent on weapon xp and also an idea of ​​adding a new weapon, a crossbow for the character with agility with great damage, the crossbow takes a long time to reload, and a simple bow for the medium one that shoots arrows with a normal speed and takes damage depending on how long I left it stretching the arrow, it will do more damage, for the big guy a new rocket but it is a cannon and it takes too long to reload but it makes everything explode and it can make holes in buildings or houses

[unreal kelp]

That literally defeats the purpose of grinding weapon xp. I’m sure they’ll do something with the VRs eventually

[stuck forum]

Hey all, what about a light-only death run mode? Given the almost mirror’s edge-like quality to the movement, I think it’d be a blast as an event to try and get through a dynamic obstacle course with dash or the grapple. Just a thought 🤷🏻‍♀️

[median hollow]

Change the ranked system to a skill-based system rather than a time-based system

Right now rank is just based on how much you play, even fully winning a tournament gives you like half of a single gold rank

Add placement matches that match you with your skill group, not just people that play more, playing more does not always mean that they are better

As a team of golds, we were able to dominate and consistently teamwipe a diamond team, however we were only gold because we play like 2 hours a week

Diamond players should be better than gold, plain and simple

[quick coyote]

Proposed heavy nerfs;

• reduce mesh shield to 500hp
• reduce dome shield to 150hp
• reduce damage on RPG to 50
• reduce damage on C4 to 75 and increase cooldown period by 50%. Also make it so only one C4 can be active at a time.
• Increase spread dispersion on Lewis by 150%
• Decrease googun clip to 10
• Make sledge do only environment damage

I feel these changes will make the class more fun to play and play against. This will also bring their power scale in line with other classes

[rough depot]

defib is insufferable

[oak pike]

Dome shield is fine. C4 changes are too much. Just nerf player damage. You're a complete fucking moron for suggesting sledge nerfs.

[obsidian grail]

Please work on Cheater hey Dev, it's no funny face the cheater so many time

Remove the target lock for melee. My camera jerks to a random enemy when hammering more than 1 enemy next to each other.

Allow cleave damage for sledgehammer. doesn’t make sense for something so slow to only do single target damage

And region lock china ffs Asia is a cesspool to play rank too many hackers

[tiny mist]

Just fix ranked queuessssssssssssssssss

[median hollow]

bro wtf this is horrible

The mesh shield would be nearly unusable (It would stay up for <2 seconds with AKM spraying, which in reality people are running even stronger guns than that)
Dome shield would actually block less bullets than a fucking plant
The C4 would only be useful for destroying walls, and would basically be a nerfed breach charge, that you would almost never get back, so basically an almost one-time use item which the intended purpose is completely removed
RPG would do less damage then just firing your gun normally, and would do a third of the damage of just a normal frag (which you get 2 of)
Lewis gun spread, just makes the game more annoying and inconsistent for everyone, wtf, also would just turn it into an annoying nerfed M60 which would have no unique purpose other than being shit
Do the googun users not get to have fun? The change wouldn't even do jack shit other than annoy them
And sledgehammer users can't attack people, so they are completely useless, like what the actual hell was your thought process here

I'm a medium main and, I'm sorry, but IMO, these are the worst changes ive ever seen proposed here, and would make heavy near completely useless, shifting the meta to just be medium-only
Also some of these changes would do nothing but be annoying and help no one, and none of these changes would even begin to fix any of the games current (actual) issues

Spitting absolute facts 🙏🏻

It was a joke, tbh

heavy class is just unbelievable.. Even watching my heavy teammates is just a nightmare.. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE players that have NO clue what they're doing that STILL have an impact on the game..

I had a heavy on my team who was unironically one of the worst FPS player I've EVER seen (Across all shooters Ive ever played) STILL do okay just because hihi rpg + busted fkn guns + I drop domeshield and cap in front of the whole lobby

MF took 2seconds to react when getting shot at from behind kind of bad

As a Light Plat ranked player, I feel fairly strongly at how powerful stacking equipment/abilities are in this game. One Medium with one heal beam and one Defib paddle is not OP, but when you have multiple, it feels extremely overbearing. Yes, I know some people are going to say that MMM isn't the best composition, but it's the easiest to get value out of because you get an extra life each team fight.

I really believe Defib needs to be looked at, either be able to cancel the charge when shot at (so you can't just panic Defib during the middle of a fucking fight while being actively being shot at), or introduce a team cooldown on this ability.

Defib is so strong, so impactful, and such low risk, that it shouldn't just be spammable the more Mediums you have. It is plain frustrating to play against. It's also making the ranked meta so stale.. like it's so boring.

Other than that, I think the game is actually in a decent place, other than the state of ranked matchmaking.

thank god this game is actively patching out movement tech, one of the biggest problems i had with apex

Proposed changes to medium class;

• Increase FCAR reload speed by 150%
• decrease bullet dispersion on AKM by 50%
• decrease pellet spread for lever shotgun by 75%
• increase range on Recon Sense by 70m
• increase APS range by 300%
• add dome shield to guardian turret during set up phase
• increase amount of HP restorted by healing beam by 5hp per second
• increase max range drop off on FCAR by 50m

I also think it would go a long way to achieving class balance if the devs toned down destruction physics. Maybe there are only a few buildings on the map that can be destroyed but not ones with objectives. It's too chaotic. This would make it a lot more fun to play and bring a lot of players back to the game

^ respectfully disagree, the finals is all about destruction and calling back to old battlefield days when entire maps were destructible, and embark is made up of a ton of old battlefield devs who very clearly wanted to get back to developing that kind of game
