Progress bar in ranked is a must for sure

[mossy jasper]

limit the amount of snipers on the power shift game mode, nothing less enjoyable then playing against a team of snipers who dont even play the point, the only way to confidently counter is playing as a sniper yourself and that just isnt fun as it just becomes a snipe feast rather then a enjoyable game mode like the rest

[untold orbit]

eu ranked is infested with cheaters in the higher ranks. almost every lobby has one. its actually insane. i occasionally run into the asians cheaters on NA. but its nothing like EU. @compact sleet this is true. glitch nade is now almost useless to counter heavy shields and mediums healing

[compact sleet]

So are u guys going to revert the glitch back?? We lost about 40% of players after last patch…. And now we back to HHM meta all over again 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why would u nerf glitch when it was the only way to deal with dbl bubble smh

[craggy granite]

i swear that 1.8 billion people country needs to a real life nuke man, been playing for 6 hrs straight and has only 2 games with no cheaters with noodle language in their names ffs

[subtle saddle]

you are using cheating in a video game as a reason to be racist against 1.8 billion people?
wild

[latent pecan]

can you guys add a feature where we can change which music we listen to? Basically an option to change either you want to listen to S1 music or S2 music in the settings, because i missed the dopamine spike effect from the s1 match finished ost lol

[unreal lava]

its 1.4

[dire shuttle]

based

[leaden umbra]

Please add setting to show ping in game.

[quick coyote]

then just play medium with CL-40 grenade launcher, idk wich one of these 2 is too OP ...

[foggy orbit]

Yeah, the design of sniper is fundamentally flawed and in my opinion ruins the flow of the game. Unfortunately many people will justify its existence by saying "It's a staple for FPS games"

Personally I think removing sniper would be a very positive change, but it won't happen because of the amount of skins sold. I hope they look into reworking the sniper so it doesn't feel like you have a wasted teammate/isn't frustrating to fight against.

[rough vessel]

i hope future maps are more sniper proof so that the weapon can still be used just less viable

[keen quiver]

Add 5v5 Platform Ranked Tournament? Good or not?

[short dagger]

Good morning Embark please consider to add katana to medium

[quick coyote]

remove everything in the game everything is op and then integrate the discord feedback channel as new game mode

[thorny parcel]

They saw their precious shield healing meta start to get countered and had to make a change lol.
Honestly one of the worst balance decisions they have ever made since they did not also giga nerf the problem loadouts too.

Just seems like the balance devs have a massive bias towards the Mesh Shield and Heal Beam meta sadly.

[deep ravine]

whats up with the game crashing for me and me getting suspencion mid game in round 3 lmao? can we get rid of giving players suspencions while the game is still pending when there is a problem with game crashing ?

[patent mural]

Cant we just remove quick cash? the gamemode itself is even advising to play cashout instead :kekw:

[thick sorrel]

• Sniper need some bulletdrop and less velocity so its not hitscan.

[scenic knoll]

@feral osprey

[river current]

rebuff sa1216（diffusion and range)

[violet radish]

Do an actual Q&A stream.

[warped crest]

I agree having player less players separated between modes is nice and cashout is too similar to quick cash for it to still be thing a thing

[kindred mountain]

As soon as I logged in to my game, it showed that the login failed due to server interruption. Please try again later. Does anyone know?

[upper citrus]

bring back unranked tournament and replace ranked tournament with a competitive 3v3.

this will make balancing a million times easier for ranked and lead to less bullshit rng and frustration for the people who are most affected by it (serious competitive players)

this will also bring queue times for competitive down to like 2 seconds

also, you could have some cool reward tied to tournaments to incentivize playing them. maybe once a week you could get 50 multibucks by winning a tournament

[fervent knot]

yooo wahts up just got kicked from the game by "internal anti-cheat failure" haha FIX YOUR GAME

[vestal basin]

• get rid of cheateres
• add more skins

[jade moss]

My current que time for ranked is 52:00 can anybody help?

[worn ravine]

im constantly facing cheaters at this point
just had 3 games in a row with blatant aimbot cheaters🤦‍♂️
can you already fix that? i dont know any game with a cheating problem that big
also i agree on the broken matchmaking point because im getting qued with top 500 players quite often

[thorn mural]

this matchmaking is pretty broken

[gritty garnet]

the sniper needs to be heavily nerfed, being able to hitscan headshot and any range of the map is rediculious

[vale acorn]

It's Trials of Osiris all over again

[sinful gazelle]

No actually seems about right to me. You’re put into plat/diamond lobby bc you’re queueing with a plat. Acutally it suppose to be one good team and 3 silvers/gold team. fairness MM right there so far I seen since there no rank restrictions

If you’re solo queueing then yeah it’s fucked up

[dusk forge]

MM ranked broken. Ranked progression broken. Pls fix

[ivory badger]

Make the dead teammate icon transparent when it's over the cash out icon, because it makes us una unable to see how close the cash out is to the end

[daring siren]

the sniper is genuinely awful in every other facet of the game aside from power shift, literally zero point to nerf a weapon because of one game mode its oppressive in when its bad everywhere else

[leaden umbra]

the nerf glitch is pretty stupid where this game meta is around heavy heavily and that turret, note: the turret is more useful than that one random light who play sniper.

[stray rampart]

Glitch Grenade didn't deserve a nerf. Even if it did, it shouldn't be down to 5 seconds. I feel like 7.5 would've been perfect if they wanted to nerf it

[violet elbow]

this right here is it

[small dirge]

7 seconds sounds perfect to me, I think 10 seconds is just way too much, unless they do something to where you slowly regain your abilities over the 10 seconds, starting with sprint, then the ability to switch weapons, and ending with your special ability

[keen quiver]

Can buy Weapons attachment like scopes,sights etc would be nice or not?

[magic beacon]

bro FIX RANKED PLEASE Im so tired of losing because theres a team of 3 DIAMOND PLAYERS one of them being diamond 2, in GOLD LOBBIES PLEASE. I want to play this game SO bad but this is complete bs if they dont fix this im dropping this game and im sure multiple others have other this, its completely stupid

[severe comet]

Genuine feedback for the R.357 revolver, All it needs to become a viable weapon is a slight buff in just one of theese things: better hip accuracy/movement accuracy/less damage fall off/2 extra bullets/slight dps buff w/head dps nerf. The weapon is just almost there balance wise it's just annoying to play it knowing it falls flat a cm from the finish line which makes for a not so very rooting tooting cowboy time 🤠

[quick coyote]

What if ranked tournaments were reworked to be of 2 groups, each group is 3v3. This will help make queues much faster while solving the 3rd party issue at the same time.

[runic crater]

One teamwipe and there’s nobody to stop spawn manipulation and setting up defenses for a cash out

[quartz cedar]

that sounds extremely boring.

[upper citrus]

i really think the only thing that the revolver needs to be viable is for the fcar to receive an actual meaningful nerf hopefully to its fire rate.

all of mediums weapons besides riot shield are actually really well balanced and good on their own but just completely overshadowed by the fcar because it doesn’t have a relevant weakness (ammo count hardly matters when you only need to reload after the person is dead)

[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)
• Increase swing speed (Honestly a lot issues would be solve with this, the weapon lacks a good ttk)
• 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)
• Electrify the baton and give it a glitch effect, when you hit somebody they're glitched for 2,5 sec (This would give the shield so much utility and would help the team greatly, making it a viable options)
• Remove the fov zoom when you hold your shield up (it's very annoying that when you block the screen zooms in, either remove it or add the option to choose between affected or indipendent fov while aiming)

ALLOW MELEE WEAPONS TO KEEP SPRITING WHEN ATTACKING:

• This would help them to compete

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

[rough vessel]

al of these ideas suck I'm ngl (not including the riot shield buffs)

[upbeat urchin]

I dont understand why people would rather lower the fire rate of the FCAR over it's damage per bullet. People already complaining about how the new recoil so lowering the fire rate will break even more the "automatic weapon" feeling, it will feel sluggish and people will hate it. Compared to just decreasing damage, you preserve same shooting feeling but you just have to hit 1 more bullet to kill

[hard badger]

PLEASE EMBARK FILL UP THE LEAVERS IN CASH OUT like you do in bank it, BECAUSE THERE ARE TO MUCH LEAVERS IN THIS MODE (or penalize them for leaving, but I feel thats not the solution)

[versed bridge]

540 RPM is very fast still, lowering it to 500 or 520 wouldn't make too much of a difference

[bold flicker]

can we have an anticheat next patch?

[gritty garnet]

the weapon is promoting a gameplay that is very much not good for objective base gameplay games like the finals, the majority of this game's main mechanic is destruction combat which mostly happens in close quarters, fights are mostly doing in defending/attack objectives at close range, the sniper promotes long range gameplay which is infuriating for others to deal with and discourages the sniper user to engage in helping out with the objective, sure it could help pick kills from afar, but if they're the only member left on the team and has to do the objective for the team, often times it would be too late due to them having to run across the map to get to the objective

its mostly effective in power shift because the objective is an open area of moving platform with little to no hard cover, which again lines in with the "annoying to deal with issue"
if the sniper is only "good on 1 gamemode only" wouldnt it make sense to replace it with a better weapon and try to fix it?
if they are able to do the same thing with recon they could do it with sniper aswell

"but what about long range weapons for light?" we already have the LH1 who fits the same role but better at keeping you involved in objective more
"what about scopes?" we got xp 54

[thorn mural]

I was solo queuing

[timber hazel]

Quality of life suggestion: Since we dont have a chat system. I want an invite system like Apex. It such a pain to wait for some of your friend to finish their game only for them to requeue again without seeing your invite that you been waiting to send for 10 min. Why cant i just join my friend's party and wait in llobby while they're in game?

[dusk forge]

3 bronze vs 3 silver vs 3 gold vs 3 gold? This is your SBMM IN RANKED? You are just making fun of yourself. And fixing? No need? lmao you disrespectful fucks

[solid sinew]

data reshaper gives pretty much no xp how on earth are you supposed to max it out?

[vale acorn]

I would like this auto join feature

[leaden umbra]

-1 .NO. All opposing team dead. Then ? The cashout bar keep progressing. That's not fair at all.

[crisp hawk]

If you kill the ennemy you deserve it

[oblique olive]

throwing knives and dagger buff when?

[shy swan]

BRO IN SUDDEN DEATH ON POWER SHIFT I FUCKING JUMPED IN PLACE WITH LOW GRAVITY WHILE ON THE POINT AFTER TEAM WIPING AND LOST INSTANTLY WTF. they need to make touching the point work differently. you never get to clutch with the way it is rn. like in overwatch it has a meter that goes down when you step off the point in overtime. when ur 2 feet off the point that also should count

[quick coyote]

fix the sound engine, directional sound is super misleading. also make foosteps actually audible

[tacit patrol]

Skin idea: Lewis gun, top circle is a record player or DJ set.

[flint patio]

You just described the exact conditions under which something should be reworked or removed, though. If it's disproportionately oppressive in one part of the game, and extremely weak in every other part of the game, that means it's fundamentally flawed for every use-case scenario. There is no situation in which it is functioning in an appropriate way - it's the worst of both worlds.

[digital drum]

Please Embark consider rework career "win 1 tournament" into something more casual friendly , in fact only 15% of players won tournament atleast once , and i guess other careers on higher levels gonna have it too with more wins sadly

[violet elbow]

Since the open beta, gunplay has been nerfed with every single patch:

the AKM has been nerfed (awful)
the FCAR has been nerfed (good but the way you did it is awful)
the Revolver has been nerfed
the CL40 has been buffed (???)

the lewis was nerfed (same as fcar, good but bad way of doing it)
the sa12 has been nerfed (good)
the flamethrower has been buffed (???)

the XP54 has been nerfed
the V9S has been nerfed
the LH1 has been nerfed

the game is nothing like it was during the open beta in terms of gunplay and the XP54 feels like the only gun that isnt forced into an overly stupid niche use case, these patches have been killing gunplay

[daring siren]

Removing it is bs, but every "rework" I hear people peddle around here amounts to just butchering it beyond repair. No thanks. Its just annoying currently, so I don't give a shit. Its not game breaking like nukes were. It can exist as it is and the game is fine aside from the occasional sniper that's either garbage and on your team or is incredibly godly and is on the enemy team.

[bold flicker]

ADD ANTICHEAT TO THE GAME

[stoic falcon]

Legendary Weapon Skin is not too legendary.
I hope there's something else as well as the appearance.
I have a lot of multibuks, but I don't have a tempting skin.

[supple abyss]

The spawns need a rework. Spawn defending teams on their captured or initiated cashouts. Don't spawn enemy teams on cashboxes especially if they are in transit.

[misty owl]

FIX THE DAGGER, FOR GOD'S SAKE

THE AMOUNT OF NO REGS I'M GETTING IS UNBELIEVABLE

[leaden schooner]

such a shame game is ruined by hackers

[paper sandal]

Okay so I have some feedback for cosmetics. Lemme just start by saying that overall the cosmetic system in this game is amazing. There’s tons of unique combinations and there’s tons of free cosmetics through events without a painful grind, I feel better about unlocking skins in this game more than any other AAA game out rn. I don’t have many complaints with the cosmetics themselves either, they all look great. What I think could use some work though is the style and shop systems.

My biggest issue with the style tab is clutter. I think it’s not a very well organized page, and it’s already somewhat overwhelming to find any specific item. It’s not very clear how the items are prganized, and although it’s wonderful that you can buy any item at any time, it makes the page super cluttered. It’s not that bad yet, but it’s only season 2 and the page is already getting pretty big.

I think it would be nice to have filters for color, release season, ownership, style, body part (for items that take multiple slots), price, bundle or individual, etc. There could also be drop down menus or a search function, really anything that makes the menu more like an interactive catalogue.

I think that actually making outfits could be improved too. I know plenty of people have suggested this already, but being able to save and name outfits would be really nice. I’d take it one step further and suggest a reworked loadout system; instead of having 6 contestant slots, you would just save your loadout and reserves as a preset for its class. When you load into a match, you just choose your class, then your preset. Maybe you could change your outfit on that screen too, if that’s possible.

[gloomy prairie]

game keeps crashing after 1st round of tournament. got a 28min suspension. ridiculous

[rich fox]

you have no idea what you’re talking about dude.

[quick coyote]

It's a little frustrating that there's a weekly challenge about winning a tournament, when the casual unranked tournaments were just removed. It's not fun trying to grind out this challenge by winning ranked tournaments.

[timber hazel]

nope. That make it worse dude. Think about it. If there is only 3 team. The third team will just wait for the first or second to die first all the time. Whereas our normal 4 team, some player can be like OH. Two team fighting at A and no one die. I know B is further but is fine. We want a fair fight

[fresh juniper]

too much cheater bro

[flint patio]

Counterpoint - I think the balance has improved massively in S2, and the game feels much better overall with these changes. Most of the weapons you just listed are still amazing.

[worn ravine]

thats exactly the opposite of what light can and cant do😭 ban this dude from discord servers AND the game

[slender walrus]

Why are battlepass lvls now 12k instead of 9k why the huge bump? Oh and get that damned win a tourney crap outta there.

[rough herald]

Hall of fame would be so cool for this game

[worthy swan]

They lowered early levels to 6

[pseudo breach]

Day 3 of asking to put map rotation on a timer. Really sick of getting Horizon and or Vegas 90% of the time.

Also, can we please get South African servers?

[placid hazel]

make ranked where if you odnt have a teamate you cant lose rank I deranked because I didnt have a teamate 3 games in a row I literrly have to solo agianst 3 teams by my self and I lose a rank?

[fervent onyx]

what happened to the fame point system in ranked? how do i know if im going up or down???

[quartz cedar]

win first round or more = up
lose first round = down

[white lily]

In every other game it is the same like in The Finals and prevents people from exploiting with rankings

[prime ore]

season 1 respawn were better and get a wipe was rewarding. yesterday we got 4 team wipes to get the first cashout while the other cashout was uncontested. I got 11 kills in the first 2-3 minutes of the game. this doensʻt make any sense to me

[upper saddle]

Much needed Buffs on the Riot Shield in my opinion-

In regards to the Riot Shield's blocking feature (Raising the shield with a right click), much like @obsidian solar Suggestion entails the actual block feature of the Riot Shield is fairly bad and there's two potential changes to greatly improve the functionality of the block feature, normal movement Speed (Not sprinting, just moving) with the shield raised would make it far, far more useful for aggressive pushes but an alternate buff could be more gimmick-y in the form of a mini-mesh shield both in size and health covering more of the user and their team and only activating specifically when the Riot Shield is raised with 250 hit points and then a delay in recharge similar to the actual mesh shield providing added utility and support capabilities to the Riot Shield. a Mini Mesh Shield provides another aspect of the Shield to change and adjust in future patches as well, giving the Combat Team at Embark greater control over it's overall balance and place within the sandbox.

The TTK Against Most Contestants with the Riot Shield in my opinion is fine, however it does have a horrid TTK against Heavies, rather than an increase to Attack Speed to buff it's TTK against all Classes and reduce the skill expression in the weapon I feel as if a simple increase of Damage from 84 to 88 to reduce the TTK against heavies by one attack will go a long way to making the weapon feel more appropriate and making it into a more viable option to take into a match.

I don't know if the Disarming of Landmines with the Riot Shield which endured for all of Season 1 was Intentional or not, but this was a beloved mechanic to all Riot Shield mains and an incredible layer of added utility to the Riot Shield to bring value to the user who compared to a medium with a gun lacks ranged damage and reduces their team's ranged combat effectiveness, I and all Riot Shield mains would absolutely appreciate it's return!

[violet elbow]

yeah and they couldve balanced the game without making some guns peashooters past 30m or have their recoil feel terrible at range, these kinda changes may have altered the meta but they were also a net negative for gunplay

[river current]

rebuff sa1216(diffusion and range)

[plain rivet]

ghostface outfit with a dagger skin as well i think it would be great for a halloween skin that's if you guys can get the rights to do that but a man can wish

[ashen bobcat]

you want to buff some of the most busted weapons in the game? get real lol

[obsidian solar]

The shield is op, busted!1!1!
Nobody uses it and it's always at bottom of the tier lists people make
The shield is op when someone else uses it but when you use it it's trash correct?
Get real

[untold pendant]

Imagine if the riot shield RMB was cancellable both into and out of slide so we could be able to wave dash from ultimate marvel vs Capcom 3

i think this would be really funny please consider

[muted sparrow]

More importantly we need the shield hand swapped because I can't have a coffee break after wiping a team of lights

[lapis pollen]

"It's op in right person's hand" "Skill issue" /s

[vernal hemlock]

I tried to take a screenshot and the game threw me out for using suspicious programs and blocked access to tournaments for 10 minutes. what's wrong, developers?

[plush depot]

The distance limit for the gateway makes it almost useless, before nobody was using it almost, but now who would? The only good thing about it was that you could steal the vaults and cash it in fast

[mossy sedge]

I really can’t believe the game still has missing angel script error I just installed the game back I quit 4 months ago because the error installed it now and my first game I crash for the angel script error I already tried every single pinned message about the errors yet those are only temporary fixes if they even work what’s the deal with this error can they not find a fix for it???What’s going on?

[supple abyss]

So many cheaters today. 7/10 games have had a cheater team on them.

[sacred cypress]

Credits and Revive counter are mixed

[paper sandal]

This is pretty specific feedback, but I think the shop menu should be completely reworked. Right now it just features some new and some old bundles, but it doesn’t really have a purpose. But what if instead of just being a page for new items, it was more like a digital retailer or catalogue? It’d be awesome to try on an outfit using pieces from different bundles to see how they’d work together before putting them in your cart and checking out, either by buying multiple whole bundles or by buying individual items from bundles with an added fee, if the devs think that’s fair. You could wishlist/bookmark certain bundles, sort by filters, save an outfit for purchase later. With this system, ideally the inventory would only have items you own, while the revamped shop would have both unowned and owned items. It could have a featured tab that fills the role of the current shop, but it’d also have a tab for all bundles as well as a wardrobe and armory for trying on individual clothes/weapons. Having an interactive virtual boutique would be so cool, I think it’d really fit with the world of The Finals.

It’d also be pretty cool if you could load into the firing range with the outfit you’re trying on to test out the weapons and see your outfit in game. As it is right now it’s hard to tell what the specific effects for certain guns or clothing pieces are before you buy them. Being able to test items would make purchases more confident; it’d really help if the voice lines for a certain item are a deal breaker for someone or if they don’t know that a certain gun has unique animations, for example.

[scenic knoll]

I think this game really needs a team death match mode. No revives, 5 second respawn, no objective just kills

[timber hazel]

Data reshaper need a buff, either give it 3 charges. Or have two second cold down cause otherwise, idk why to Pick it unless I’m playing medium shotgun and the enemy team has 3 turret. That or maybe it need to be a sniping range thing like tracking dart

[solid narwhal]

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

[upper saddle]

He's asking for Riot Shield buffs- an objectively bad weapon some people are just good enough to scrape by with, not an Fcar buff.

[opaque creek]

Anyone else have seen a light being in constant cloak the entire match? That was fun to play against. :D

[coarse zealot]

Make practice available for party’s

[jagged forge]

THIS GAME IS SO UNBALANCED!! I CAT DO ANYTHIG WITH LIGHT IF IM I A ROOM AND SOME MID OR HEAVY PLAYER TAKES MY WHOLE FAMILY FROM BEHIND WITH HIS NADE LAUNCHER IM GETTING RAWDOGGED EVERYTIME ITS NOT FUNNY ANNYMORE WHO TF PAYS MOEY FOR SUCH A BAD GAME

[opal jewel]

I honestly think that as a casual solo player having one of the contracts for the Challenger Circuit be "Win 1 Tournament" is ridiculous because that is a totally different & in most cases harder type of play that I am not into nor do I feel like I am ready for & I shouldn't be forced to play it until I win 1. Now if it was simply something like "Compete in 3 Tournaments" I would be totally fine with that because that is at least tamer/ easier first step into the tournament scene then asking a usually casual solo play to grind for a win.

[dry lichen]

Not mine but thought it belonged here

[sonic wigeon]

Totally agree. Ranked is fucked right now. Keep matching against plats/diamonds as silver/gold. No wonder that the playerbase is dropping crazy.. even tho this game is 10/10. Embark have to fix the ranked experience ASAP otherwise more and more ppl will drop this game (im already thinking about dropping it). No game is fun to play if all you do is getting crushed by your opponents. It sad that Embark hasnt figured that out yet...

[solar mulch]

There is a dmg people on the platform in the new gamemode circuit quest but the gamemode isnt there, there is the easter variaton but if u dmg opponents on the platform there it doesnt count?

[true zinc]

way too many cheaters

[queen ocean]

It’s called „challenge“ for a reason. All these whiny people crying about a challenge being too hard, my god, it’s a video game challenge, relax.

[magic beacon]

The game seriously is amazing but for what ever reason embark cannot for the life of them make ranked based matchmaking or a balanced game mode

[rapid stream]

Wait 1887 loads 2 shells at a time wtf

[modern wedge]

skill issue
strafe
also nobody forcing you to pay its f2p

[tulip dove]

There’s a low player count so it’s hard to match players to make it 100% fair. On the other side, if embark were to increase the queue time (which is already long for some) people will complain about taking ages to get into a ranked game. This type of issue will get resolved as the player base increase and queue into rank mode more

[thin silo]

Problem is that playerbase is dropping, not increasing.

[river current]

rebuff sa1216(diffusion and range)

[lavish totem]

wtf is the skill based matchamking, im gold 3 versing full gold and playing with bronzes

[undone monolith]

Data reshaper could be more useful if it'd let us take control of the enemy gadgets plus what it already does, so basically I could use it on an enemy turret and change it into an APS if I want to. Just something worth to think about imo, since data reshaper rn is kinda of unusable

[balmy ivy]

same bro over and over

[graceful flume]

i'm glad somebody else has also noticed the extra shell that gets put in the model 1887

[knotty tusk]

The removal of unranked tournament is devastating for me and my friend group. We probably played 3-5 unranked tournies almost every night. I would say unranked tournament accounts for 90%+ of my 275hrs.

While there is a subset of our group who will play ranked, many don't want to. The Cashout mode is not a replacement, as there are no stakes and it feels completely pointless (like all of Quick Play).

For those of us who don't want to play ranked, there's no longer a reason to log on anymore. And even for those of us who will play ranked, we now only want to log on when we're in the mood to sweat it out. And if we don't feel like sweating it out, instead of queuing for unranked, we just play other games instead of The Finals.

Sounds like we're in the minority here, as it was stated that it was the least popular mode, but that's our experience.

[sick pier]

Just play ranked bro lol

[late mortar]

Why hasn’t this been fixed yet?

[quartz cedar]

i believe embark are on easter holiday. so maybe next week or the week after

[old charm]

Honestly I hate the reload animation for the shotgun. Sometimes it feels like you're at a huge disadvantage for wanting to reload before you're empty due to how long it takes

[wary hedge]

There is a solution for that , play 3-5 games of cash out

[thorn elbow]

HOLY FUCK THE DISCONNECTS WITH THE NEW UPDATE FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME

[flint patio]

I agree to a certain extent, but I also think it's a problem with our outlook. I'm the same way - I always avoid ranked modes because I don't like the idea of taking games "seriously," I just play them for fun. But realistically... there's not actually any difference between casual and ranked tournament. If you're playing with friends, you can approach it exactly the same way you did in casual, and have exactly the same type of fun (in theory) as long as you don't care about your rank at all. Which is easier said than done, of course, but some people seem to manage it.

[upper citrus]

nerf fcar and lewis fire rate and revert the recoil nerfs. it does nothing to the meta and just makes guns feel worse

[fast garnet]

On Xbox and when I inv friends to my party they are inaudible so I have to restart my console to fix it

[violet elbow]

PREACH BROTHER 🙏

[smoky lily]

cheaters are everywhere this afternoon, one every single game

[timber gulch]

add a death thing where instead of coins or tokens or whatever it is u drop u can change it basically a new accessory slot and put it in battlepasses or to buy

[untold pendant]

Imagine if the riot shield RMB was cancellable both into and out of slide so we could be able to wave dash from ultimate marvel vs Capcom 3 in some way.

i think this would be really funny please consider embark for possible riot shield changes once the problem children of balancing are out of the way

[solid narwhal]

Controller is getting stale. It also has a skillcap, please give us back kbm on console.

[tough willow]

I think this game needs weapon sway mechanics to add much needed balancing. Heavier weapons should sway more under motion, forcing players to slow down or even stop if they want accuracy at range.

[bitter tangle]

Day 15 of asking for a graphical performance mode

Both console and PC need this imo to maximize FPS and get rid of those annoying frame drops!

• They can lower down shadow quality which will heavily help out performance especially since it is on unity engine.
• texture quality can be lowered down, works for most games
• tesselation can be lowered or even remove, it takes a massive hit on performance
• clouds and background buildings can be removed, smaller render distance for unneccesary objects

[quick coyote]

low on PC is already the bare minimum, no idea how they could make graphics worse in favor of performance while not offering unfair advantage

[cerulean rune]

Make it so we can save outfits

Does anyone know where I can buy intelligence, because for some players I have to buy intelligence. They leave a cash out with a single team on it and go to the cash out where 2 teams are fighting. Any normal person would think defeating one team is easier and has less risk of dying than fighting two teams. I only say OMG

I really can’t believe the game still has missing angel script error I just installed the game back I quit 4 months ago because the error installed it now and my first game I crash for the angel script error I already tried every single pinned message about the errors yet those are only temporary fixes if they even work what’s the deal with this error can they not find a fix for it???What’s going on?

[mint knoll]

had to close my game in the middle of a ranked match because I got a loading screen bug

[flat solstice]

I think it'd be good if Embark partnered with Twitch to hold live tournament events with large creators (e.g Twitch Rivals). More opportunities for viewers who aren't aware of the game to see the finals would be good to attract players. While the announcers can be distracting sometimes if you're playing the game (I have dialogue vol set to 0), they are very important in making the finals an excellent game to watch.

[magic beacon]

3 RANKED. MATCHES. IN. A. ROW. FULL DIAMOND TEAMS Last game i played all the diamonds were FKN DIAMOND 1?????? HELLO?? Im gold 1 for context WHY are they in my lobbies, Im deadass dropping this game until they fixed matchmaking this is actually the dumbest thing. Done with this games trash ranked system so tired of putting up with it, idec if I reach diamond this season or not

After clicking off that match Despite taking down two games of 4 with each of those two games having 4 diamond players 3 of them being on a team together, doesnt effect how much rank I go up, still goes up the normal amount even if I played bronzes. This is completely stupid

[celest wren]

Ranked is bugged won 10 games almost in a row didnt move on the leaderboard or rank up

[jade dragon]

I hate ranked so much and I’m plat 1(I don’t deserve it)

[solar citrus]

I always get suspended when my game crashed.

according to oscar golds are supposed to be queued with diamonds, maybe the amount of diamonds is excessive idk

Yeah many braindead in this game

[sterile jetty]

Pls make teammates not stupid

[steel vine]

Really needs to be a loss prevention system in place for when your teammates dont connect in qualifying rounds. Had a game where we passed the first qualifiers and one of my teammates didn't connect and I wasn't allowed to leave the game without being penalized even though it was a 2v3v3v3. In ranked*

[sick pier]

bro this game is not unity engine lmfao it’s Unreal Engine 5

[glacial knot]

Lack of players, You don't get a lobby full of gold only, but i suggest many times. Match player 2 rank below or 2 rank above together. For example Gold 3 players get matched with minimum gold 4 and silver 1 or max gold 1 or gold 2. but maybe they have a big lack of players then they can do nothing against . The only way is maybe if They design the ranked tournament like cash out only 2 round then finals round so that it doesn't need so many players per battle.

[obsidian solar]

Give smoke grenade to all classes! It would open so many possibilities! I would use smoke so much if it was on medium, on the other hand i've barely seen any Light using smoke, especially when they have better gadgets to choose from

[humble osprey]

Please make keyboard and mouse compatible with ps5

[paper sandal]

I know these are very specific ideas and they probably won’t be implemented at all, but I think they show my biggest issue with the game: despite the incredibly unique mechanics and world building, the game experience outside of a match is plain and largely uninteresting. We’re told that we’re a contestant in the world’s most popular game show, but it doesn’t really feel like that. There’s almost no social interaction or character presence outside of matches, and even in matches there’s only a voice chat. The money we’re competing for doesn’t even have a real purpose other than achievements and the global leaderboard. In this hyper digitized world, it really seems like there could be some really unique and community based features, but there’s nothing. You can’t even watch replays of matches, the matches that are supposedly being broadcast worldwide. Imagine if you could create clips, pictures, or outfits and share them with other players in game, imagine forming clans to compete together, imagine signing a sponsorship deal (or going solo) that pits you against the other companies in massive community challenges for unique rewards, imagine if player loadouts, map interactions, or sponsorship choices could change the story in real time. There’s so many possibilities for unique, immersive social features that would make so much sense in the world of The Finals, but right now there’s very little character presence. Maybe that’s simply not the direction Embark wants to go, but I think for a long-term, live-service game like this, developing that sense of community in-game is really important.

[pallid jetty]

I figured I would share some feedback on the tournament contract here, like everyone else.

I think it's perfectly fine and a good challenge.

Tournaments are a core part of the game, and I think we should be expected to engage with them if we want to complete circuits.

From some of the feedback I've seen, I get the impression that a lot of players seriously overestimate how difficult it is to win a Bronze/Silver tournament. The solution is simply to try, try again; not give up after getting a couple of bad teammates.

Personally, I would be quite disappointed if the Pro and Masters circuits were dampened and made less challenging as a result of this.

[vivid spindle]

[sinful gazelle]

Make an cool weapon skins bundle for the Fcar, SA12, and LH1 pls 🙏🙏🙏 so I can acutally spent my money on this game

[whole ocean]

Ranked already has its own rewards system completely separate from Career Circuits. It makes no sense to intertwine them, making one necessary for the other. Many of us don't want the headache of inconsistent matchmaking and the stress of consequential losses just to complete a single contract for 100% Circuit completion; even if we skip this specific ranked contract and complete the rest, we'll end up being one contract short of the final Circuit reward.

[versed dagger]

What's the point of queuing for 4 minutes if i'm gonna get into a diamond lobby as a gold player

[knotty tusk]

While I'm fine playing ranked, there are some people in my friend group who don't play as often / aren't at the same skill level. When they play in my ranked lobbies, they get crushed and don't have fun at all. So, for them, if the options are ranked or nothing, they choose nothing.

[distant fossil]

Game Mode Suggestion:
Hot Potato - Deliver cashboxes to vaults like Cashout but if they touch the ground they disappear maybe after a set timer or right away/could even vary as match timer counts down. Edit: Expand on the idea the longer the cashbox is in possession of a contestant the value of it grows until its delivered.

[rocky meteor]

Good game

[native helm]

what's up with backfilling into a losing game counting as a loss when I barely played 2 minutes? might as well remove that statistic at that point when you throw in losses like that

[whole violet]

Got it mixed up sorry, aren’t they practically the same when it comes to optimization? And I’m pretty sure unity and unreal are connected one way or another if we date back to the quake days. (Correct me if I’m wrong)

[iron bough]

Could please delete and change all quests involving tournaments or ranked gameplay? I have been playing for 200 hours and I have NEVER touched Ranked or Unranked Tournaments, and I won't. Long queue times, too time-consuming, delete please. I'm not a sweat, I don't care about ranks, I play for fun, don't cater to your sweat player base, they don't buy skins, casuals do.

[fresh juniper]

you crazy bro

[obtuse wedge]

u know why, they think this "skill-based" MM will make most games fair compare to "rank-level" MM. so yeah, idk where they got this idea but its just pain af for us💀

[shut geyser]

can you pls ad another gun pack with the sticks? if you do can it be the, V9S, AK and the LMG. if you do i will for sure buy it
😁

[subtle tree]

I completely agree, although I don't think tournaments are that difficult, just turn your mic on.

[rose vigil]

Please remove melee aim assist, or melee lock on. It is unnecessary and annoying. I'm on PS5 with all aim assist options off. It still locks on to a target. It's no good.

[stray rampart]

Please add opacity sliders I can't even see what's in front of me sometimes because some people have very long names, not to mention the cashout, vault and various pings also cover the screen.

[sinful gazelle]

Rank changes

Add more ranks, the match making for this game is usually 1 diamond team queue with 3 silvers/gold teams. Either dia team stomps the whole lobby or they get targeted by everyone.

leading to that, Turn off Shown ranks for the entire lobby, keep it where it’s only your teammates that can see your rank. It shouldn’t be the whole entirely lobby, which leads to targeting and it not fun for both parties here. Or fix your match making and it can stay.

buff anti cheat or smth, feels like lately cheaters are more in rank then ever. Maybe rank requires a phone numbers to able to play? Just a suggests for that.

For now, give us rank restrictions. Let’s say the highest player in your squad is Diamond 1. You can only queue with people that are plats and gold 1 only. So one rank and 1/4 below. This would help out matches where lobbies can be filled with the correct rank/skill level match. Until we get more ranks in the game

Dia 4 still the same. Only plats and gold 1

Plats —> gold and silver 1 only etc..

29th/2024 -

So far rank is a bit better match making, either due to the fact that more people are now more plats and more diamond now or acutally the game is doin it’s job. But there still some cases of the same thing all over again. And even new ones being 3 dia teams and one gold team in a match.

[vernal kayak]

[pseudo latch]

Day day 19 of me begging the devs to give heavy an M134 Minigun as a Specialization.

• 200 Round magazine, ammo is restored two bullets every second, 100 seconds for a full reload.
• 20 rounds per second, eleven damage a round, 220 DPS
• Falloff begins at 30 meters down to six damage a shot at 50, but wide spread means the weapon becomes less effective past 10 meters even against larger targets
• bullets do high damage to structures, allowing a mid-range option to output mass destruction (destroying entire walls on higher floors of buildings, ripping apart nesting sightlines)
• • significant damage to structures and players
• • gun can be pre-spooled with RMB over having an ADS (for obvious reasons, you try to aim down the sights of a water cooler)|
• • high suppressive force through sheer amount of bullets being fired
• • its a goddamn minigun
• - Heavy cannot jump or sprint while holding it, has to switch back to primary
• - lengthy equip-unequip time to balance such
• - gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

[jagged cedar]

You're the outlier here tbh. Majority of people who played a lot of ranked last season agree that nukes were horrible

[surreal kestrel]

Current "Contracts" window/interface is awful, so uncomfortable to browse, also "Circuit" page is kinda like out of place, contracts page should be along with the circuits and remove the current contracts page imo kinda like this (contracts could replace the Bunny bash "circuit")

[pearl mica]

Will they ever fix matchmaking in this game? It could be so good but the matchmaking is killing it. Gold 1 should not be facing Diamond 1!

[glacial storm]

the ks-23 has such a small range where it's actually effective compared to before the change. it's only good between 10-18m since you can no longer shoot and melee to kill lights, 2 shots and melee to kill medium, 3 shots and a melee doesn't even kill a heavy, feels really awful outside of 18m since the damage falloff is so steep its pointless to shoot at anyone outside of that range

[slate mauve]

**We can all agree that the Diamond skins are awesome. However, most of us suck but we do have money.

[granite inlet]

Footstep audio. Please. I beg you. It's an absolute necessity and a hard counter to invis. A heavy shouldn't be able to sprint up behind you without making a single sound.

[limpid scroll]

1. please, more punishment for people that leave a ranked match especially at the start
2. please give us some honourable leaving ability so we can vote with our remaining teammate if someone leaves
3. please replace the current voice actors with someone else. CNS has already hacked the game, make it part of the lore that they were fake and they were never meant to be there in the first place. Hire Macro or someone.

[upper granite]

I'll say it again:
-ranked spawns especially on the new map favour third partying

-recoil nerfs aren't the way to nerf a gun, nerf the ttk

-double heavy still beats all other comps when played correctly

-footstep audio Is bizarrely ass

-we need to see our ranked progress

-light needs a buff for the health in any way(Regen, health, Gadget etc)

not saying its not an issue- cause that is one mechanic that frequently irks me when im not also playing light build-

but play for a day using the Thermal Vision on light.

Suddenly the twerps who think they can invis and run STRAIGHT at me are just a free kill on the board (id greatly appreciate if the cloak when from a Fuel-meter to Cooldown functionality...)

[covert gazelle]

The following is machine translation content

The following are just some interesting suggestions that I came up with casually:
Adding water to the arena allows for underwater combat and withdrawal activities. The boundaries of the water body can be set to be indestructible. It is not necessary to fully simulate the underwater environment in real water, as it is a virtual environment.
The original posture can be used in water, and the original posture can use the main weapon and various props just like the posture on land. Adding a swimming posture allows for switching in the water, while using a swimming posture increases movement speed in the water. However, the swimming posture cannot hold weapons or props, and automatically changes to a swimming posture when using a springboard. Oxygen systems can be omitted from the water area as it is a virtual environment.
In water, various objects, including bullets, are subject to water resistance and weak buoyancy.
The power of underwater explosions can be weakened, and building debris and small objects can float upwards in the water.
The underwater field of view can become slightly blurry, but thermal imaging does not require blurring

[solid narwhal]

Please bring kbm back to console, I don't like playing fps games on controller, and so do several other console players. COD and other games have kbm support and I don't see why you removed it from this game. Please bring it back it's my og playstyle thanks.

[odd tundra]

For Gateway gadget on light

I believe increasing the distance covered from 70 to 80 meters AND increasing the throw range of both gateway 1 and 2 by 10 meters would improve gameplay options on all maps. ** especially the headache that is seoul

[upper saddle]

Smoke grenades for all? at the very least smoke grenades could be a shared item between lights and mediums (Sort of like explosive mine for medium and heavy) as they have an incredible amount of utility, synergizing well with goo and gas grenades and clearing fires, the light build rarely uses smoke grenades and when they do it's only because they see the synergy with thermals but players with a greater comprehension of the game's mechanics will readily see Smoke Grenades for their real value as a defensive tool to keep goo or gas from burning and as a tool to conceal players stealing cashouts.

[dry raft]

Create a "Justice court" for the finals.
With killcams and Replay, some great players selected by embark will temporarly ban some players suspected of using cheat.
Then other players in the "Justice court" Can Replay the game and decide of ban or not.

Suggestion: Change the "win 1 tournament" from the circuit to something else. Thanks!

[slender crypt]

👍

[daring fossil]

I placed silver 2 and then deranked when playing with a friend the other day, and then spent all day yesterday solo queueing trying to get a win for that contract and I ranked up twice even though I had potato team mates most of the time and only made it to the second or 3rd round most games. There's probably a hump to get over to gold 4 like most games.

[plush spire]

I wrote it in another chat, I'll write it here. Please do something about the cheaters. I don't believe it's just my bad luck. In the first season, there were 10 times fewer of them. Now I play every ranked tournament with at least one cheater. In season 2, it's like the plague. Nothing is more frustrating than a cheater who ruins the entire tournament. EasyAntiCheat simply doesn't work. I love this game, I support Embark with a coin, but it's getting unbearable.

[zealous peak]

You should add team deathmatch 3v3/4v4 to the game

[fresh shell]

speed up grenade throws. they are so painfully slow to react with in emergencies

[obsidian solar]

This☝🏻
Smoke grenades should be for all classes like, grenades and flashbangs, light barely use them as they have much better gadgets to choose from, also the synergy with thermal costs two gadgets slots so it's not worth it, however if all classes had it thermal would become also more useful and a coordinated team would benefits from it aswell, also smoke grenades create a much bigger cloud then the canisters so please, bring them to all classes, i personally would use them A LOT as a medium player

@whole umbra @frozen solstice @bright marsh @peak nacelle @dense gulch @dusty zodiac @acoustic ibex @split laurel @hybrid kraken Just look at these suggestions, people are crying about cheaters on rank matches, and you are pushing Tournament gameplay? I don't want to go through that, I have a family and a job, I'm not a kiddo, spring break is almost over, and I'm not going to waste it playing tournaments. I can't even queue (30min wait time) 🤣

[restive crescent]

do you guys use some kind of performance tweeks?

my fps is almost the same on epic and everything on low, i get around 120 fps in most maps, and on every fight it drops to 100-90 fps, on beta my fps was way WAY better, i used to get arround 180 fps with the same pc on 1080p, specs: rx 5700xt, ryzen 5 5600 16 gb ram

[glad delta]

can we have dropping grenades take slightly less time than throwing them? I want to be able to drop something and switch. it just doesn't seem right that it would even take that long to drop something again or that the recoil from dropping something would be so long that I couldn't immediately switch

[spring valley]

It'd be kind of cool to give other players Kudos-type things after the game ends (like gg, or well played) something like that. Even when we lose it just overall is kinda nice to let the team know "hey, i know i died a lot while healing but y'all picked me up 300 times no questions asked, thankssss" haha

[lofty crypt]

@pearl kiln Pls FIX Your Matchmaking

[dreamy marlin]

I think a lot of items that have a low pick rate would get benefited from adding the ability of change lodout between deaths in competitive tournament matches, you normally chose the items that you thing will give you the most versatility or chance to win against a variety of scenarios and the reserve is most use for decoration because you don't really know what you are going to encounter when you start the match, yes you can see what people are pre selecting but you don't really now they're gadgets or if they will run an orthodox strategy that is gonna be really hard to deal with, for example my lodout consist of a r357, zipline, a aps and defib with healing beam, but some times the enemy doesn't use that many projectiles or grenades, so i think to myself that it would be neet if i could change my aps to a grenade, or some times i want to change to my 1887 because we are going to fighting a team on a building, the same system that is in cash out would be perfect in ranked, because you cant change lodouts when you so please, you have to use a coin or have your team get team wiped, because by getting revived your lodout stays the same, i thing it would manage to bring some items like pyro grenade or weapons like grenades launchers (because if you go to a tournament with one you risk having someone having a aps and becoming useless the rest of the match) up and creating a new meta also allowing people to be much more creative with their lodout choices avoiding people to just use a gun or a few items because if they don't bring the items that are more versatile they risk to encounter matches where they can't do much other than sit and cry.

buff glitch mines tbh, they should act like stun gun instead of glitch grenade cuz tbh everyone forgot about glitch mine, I’ve used it once thinking it would not let someone steal the cash out but it was useless lol

(make it so you can only place one tho for balancing)

[subtle tree]

You made it to round 4, what's the issue? Top 87.5% for that tournament. Your odds of making it that far (ignoring rank) were 12.5%. Just be happy and move on to the next game.

All of that aside, you're platinum - do you expect full games with 16 plats or something? lower rank is expected to get knocked out sooner, par for the course.

[undone olive]

how come i go against only diamond and plat when i play with my team of gold?

[terse saffron]

Praying for the team to change the tournament challenge to something else 🙏

I know everyone and their mom's already mentioned this, but my god it's hard enough as a casual player, but y'all literally just removed the casual option as well.

I couldn't even get into a ranked tourney if I wanted to, it's consistently making me wait 20+ min and I don't have time for that.

(And I wouldn't care, if it wasn't for the fact that I have to win a ranked tourney to even get the tat in the end)

[whole ocean]

That would definitely be cool, sounds similar to what Overwatch has. Maybe it could even give some xp as a reward.

[lusty ivy]

pls revert gateway to infinite range or at least triple the max range, light actually had potential to be meta in ranked for once 🙏

[pseudo latch]

Infinite range would get busted pretty quick when lights can just take a box right from its spawn to a cashbox

Gateways issue is that the grenades “detonate” too early, so when you throw one it doesn’t actually go that far before it creates a gate. They should detonate on impact, or upon hitting their range cap.

@fresh shell sniper is niche at best and downright bad otherwise. Learn to use cover.

[fresh shell]

Sniper is still unbalanced garbage to play against.

[grave sierra]

can we pwease do emotes in the main menu party screen, i wanna be able to say gg ingame to rando lads that dont speak my language

[light fox]

So unbelievably tired of stun gun, hard cc does not belong in a comp shooter with a high TTK

[olive fulcrum]

To me this perspective seems indicative of dopamine deprivation due to being showered in progress bars by other media.

Call me old fashioned, but isn't the main point to enjoy yourself or improve your skill? Or otherwise pass time?

[fervent vortex]

For all the dudes complaing about ranked just stop lol, if I’m able to only play the first 2 days and still be in top 300 you guys can climb out of plat lol

[lunar vault]

heavy being able to almost 1shot a light in many ways is fun :) (/s)

[upper granite]

@pearl kiln I BEG YOU to rethink the new map and the spawns/pacing in ranked. its sooooo frustrating

[iron bough]

[limpid scroll]

I got one tapped by a sledgehammer earlier today was not funny

[restive vigil]

How can I rank up

[teal minnow]

play round with good combat support and objective score

[mint knoll]

please for the love of god change the orange enemy color it's a pain in the ass to see on sandstorm vegas

[bold turtle]

getting randomly kicked on ranked

[slim sun]

"getting randomly kicked on ranked" same

[fresh shell]

Niche? I see a consistent sniper user with suspiciously godlike aim almost every single round in EU casual! like 40% of weapons can't even reach the ones that camp far out on monaco and skyway, and the rest is hardly consistent with their iron sights. pshift is even worse, can't even get to the plat as anything but heavy (and even then gotta be lucky) if one of these is on the opposing team. And campers aren't the only type of annoying sniper, you then get the run'n'gun headshotters.

[hasty trout]

When are we getting ranked power shift? ✋🏻👀

[river current]

finally someone gets me,it should be more usable on midrange

[hollow badger]

ranked power shift?

[ivory narwhal]

No, some of us are playing this game in hopes it goes competitive. It's hard to get noticed if you're stuck in Silver without being told why. It would encourage play style to shift a certain way in order to progress through the ranks. As someone who solo queues ranked, I cant determine what I need to be doing in order to rank up. Winning, obviously, but at that point what is a support score for?

[delicate breach]

to many cheaters in lobbys im leaving the game till yall get a better anti-cheat

[snow monolith]

what really bothers me are the spawn locations when a cashout is running

[leaden umbra]

why everyone having problem with ranked ? I don't have any problem with it at all, BECAUSE I NEVER TOUCH RANKED. 💀

[red grotto]

Im waiting for next round of ranked "coming up waiting for other groups to finish and its just black-purple blank screen
what am i supposed to do ? leave ?
I just got banned xD. Thanks guys

[bold turtle]

“getting randomly kicked on ranked” another one time

[subtle beacon]

Who

[drifting sapphire]

This game is unplayable now that they've removed tournaments. Now we have to go ranked to play tournaments where 85% of the time I encounter cheaters and the matchmaking is terrible. The fact that heavies have instant shields makes zero sense, especially since they nerfed the range of almost all weapons. Is this game supposed to have you running up to a heavy just to get hit with an RPG, flamethrower or shotgun?

[real crow]

bro where tf did casual tournaments go??????

[somber musk]

add a fps and ping counter!

[lofty crypt]

shit Matchmaking

[crude saffron]

bring back showing progress to your next rank. why was it removed?

[lyric junco]

I mean is it really shit matchmaking if your team is beating a double diamond team lmao and you guys are getting beat by what appears to be a triple silver

[queen spindle]

thats plat and were q ed against top 200 players

[fervent vortex]

Who cares ranked is brain dead easy, just win and don’t complain

[oblique flint]

Same. I am confused on where to look in this video.

[hollow aspen]

Please bring back Unranked tournament I beg

[rapid stream]

If you're talking about the guy who killed you he probably isn't cheating

[gloomy wedge]

PLEASE MAKE A MAP VOTING BETWEEN 2 OR 3 MAPS THE NEW MAP NOT MY FAVORITE BUT WHEN I PLAY CASH OUT THE NEW MAP APPEAR EVERY TIME

[high wing]

revolver needs to 2 hit a light, fucking stupid that they survive with 1 hp

[jagged axle]

Average power shift player

[upper citrus]

no lmao. medium is a support class.

[light fox]

That's not a cheater, you literally lost 120 hp from the guy on the point and then the guy far away hit you with one shot; stop crying about cheaters when there are none, you're making other people go away. The thing with the heavy happens all the time to people who are lagging badly.

[glad bridge]

I think the sledge guys is who he refers to or its just spectator lag idk

[hidden locust]

Make it to were if you hold a cashout for awhile and gets stolen you get a portion you can hold it to 90 have no cooldowns just for someone to take it and have all that time mean nothing gives more incentive to going for one with a long timer so you get more instead of waiting it to tick down for an easy grab will also reward players for holding it instead of feeling like your effort meant nothing protecting it most of the time

[glacial knot]

They have lack of players, They need to design ranked tounement like cash out, 2 round and final round so that the battle need less player instead 16 team every battle will need only 8 teams

[odd pond]

They need to design ranked matchmaking so that my squad of gold 4 bros aren't in a lobby with the rank 47 and 81 players.

[upper granite]

I APPROVE

[daring siren]

I don't approve

[wary tapir]

please do something about mines, it cannot be real that mediums can place them behind a wall, out of vision, and if a light takes one on yyou are out of the fight from a single non player source of dmg. It is so infuriating dying to these things

[last temple]

Im not sure if people already said this, but i would love when i add people, i can just msg them send them a msg

[smoky gust]

tbh, i prefer cashout over quick cash in every way

eliminations get rewarded
if you manage to wipe the enemy they get punished
the limited coins incentivize teamplay and make it feel more impactful (while still being plentiful enough to not force it at all times)
4 teams fighting over 2 cashboxes means there are way less 3rd parties

its tournament light, where you don't have to invest so much time and aren't forced to run meta at all times
i really like it and hope it stays

[timid steppe]

they need to make it so all diamonds are put into lobbies with Plat 2 and above idgaf if it take 30 mins to find a match these diamond youtubers who its their job to play this game absaloutely ruin ranked as well as all the diamond cheaters. The ranked mm is fundamentally ruining this game atm. Defibs need to be removed or reworked again as teams can just chain revive eachother so you dont even punish them for killing them

[trim gyro]

Give me a duck bundle. Duck onesie, rubber duck grenade, and a toss up quack sound. Also u could have custom text lines when you throw the rubber duck grenade. Some are “DUCK ADM COVER”, “TRY AND DUCK”, and maybe “PEEP THIS”

[thin depot]

Maybe give 20-30% of a cash out’s value after 50% or so of the time has passed so you still get the big steal but at least the defending team takes something

[crude brook]

dematerializer should dematerialize everything in a short cone infront of youi

[summer elk]

ALRIGHT EMBARK, LET ME DROP A BOMB OF AN IDEA REAL QUICK

Allow for player created brands!
Wouldn't it be cool to see YOUR [yes, you the player!] brand endorsed into The Finals?
Example:
I run a group called TKC, which stands for the "TeleKast Channel", which is the non-canon Broadcasters of The Finals gameshow to the world.
We have a slogan:
"Click. Cast. Connect." and even a jingle and logo!

So many people want this to be an official thing, so please consider it! I've even gotten 2 community managers into the idea, @true epoch and @dense niche

Hope you consider this idea, and let's get this community goin' bigger and better than ever!

[winter totem]

Greetings. I really like this game. It is so fun. There is just one problem: My friends and are not very good. We have good strategies and play as a team (most of the time), but when it comes to gun fights, we lose a lot of the times. We played some ranked tournaments. The placement rounds were a little rough, but we got (correctly) ranked as bronze 4. When we play against other bronze or even silver 4, the game feels very fair and is super fun. The problem is that there are a bunch of "unranked" people who are extremely good. I just know that they are going to get ranked as at least gold. In addition to better match making in general, I am suggesting that "unranked" people get placed according to binary search: first unranked round is with medium silver. If you lose, you go to medium bronze, else if you win, you go to medium gold. If you lose again, you go to low bronze. If you lose after going to medium gold, you go to low gold & high silver. Once you get your starting rank, then you have to work your way up linearly as normal. What do you think?

[fervent vortex]

See this is the issue, for every real cheater we get idiots like you that report a simple death after they walk in a fucking grav cube lol

[clever idol]

holy shit this is crazy
wait i could help with the logo if u wanted (i dabble in pixel art every now and then)

[raven maple]

I was honestly reading this expecting to be a shitpost about the essays on how unfair a competitive themed fps is.

[quiet summit]

can we change the challenger circuit where it tells you to win a tournament?? sitting in a queue for 25+ minutes just to hope to get a game, not only that but even if i do my chances of winning with random teammates in a tournament are basically slim to none, not only all of that but unranked tournaments have just been removed (AWESOME -_-) so doing this challenge is even harder now. It would be amazing if that could get swapped out for a different challenge, something that doesnt require the player to play ranked when they dont want to or have people to play with that are confident enough....

[golden wraith]

Can we get an options to change the team colors, they are way to simalar.

[ashen peak]

the contract "deal 3000 damage to oponents while they are standing on the platform in power shift" is bugged, it doesnt progress

[upbeat ore]

If Embark remove the tournament challenge I'll be so disappointed. Might as well remove ranked so no one gets their feelings hurt

[oak kernel]

Ranked is just harder to win than Unranked because there's more rounds man. Kind of just makes it more annoying to win it imo for the challenge

[glacial knot]

You have lack of players, it doesnt matter what you do the matchmaking will never change, you need to design ranked tournement like cash out 2 round and at the end the finals round , that way every battle needs only 8 team instead 16 team. Its unfair that gold player get matched with platin and diamond. And one day every body will lose fun to the game and will quite it. @pearl kiln @whole umbra

[hushed sable]

The first season felt like an actual game show, something that athletes would compete in and win prizes for getting that sweet victory from a long tournament. The commentators commentating, the crowd cheering, even the music felt like it's from an official competitive sport. But now, the second season makes it feel slightly different, I know how it kinda got hacked and all of that, but it just doesn't feel like an actual gameshow and it got ruined for me. I know this is just my opinion but I know that other people would agree with me on this one.

[runic rain]

way too many hackers

[wary tapir]

dont @ the devs, just makes their job more annoying, its not like that will make them listen to you more than me or someone else. And no shit they know they have an issue with the MM in this game, give em some time to fix it.

[clever ledge]

Cash out taking the place of tournament isn’t the best as many players enjoy the 1v1 aspect at the end of a tournament and with ranked it’s unlikely for most players to experience that . Mabey a 2 round tournament could fix this . And lastly why have cash out and quick cash in rotation at the same time when they’re so similar .

[weak plaza]

Is there a chance for Russian localization? The game has many players from Russia and CIS. It would also be nice to have regional prices for CIS regions (this will add profit to developers, not reduce it)

[iron bough]

"If Embark doesn't embrace sweats, I'm going to cry." -Kyler.

[fringe ore]

please keep bank it. 🙏

[signal forge]

I finished it

[tawny oriole]

The worst class in the whole game is light. First of all they dont resist bullet they die fast, then they have no team support gadget and espacially the most of them are brain dead always cloak and push solo. Please ban light class from ranked, ranked is a team play mode, why you add a class that has no team support gadaget and all his ability is usefull only to push alone, i need just answer to this question

[stiff harness]

If we could get players in the middle of being revived to not block bullets that'd be great, very annoying to be in a gunfight and have half of my shots blocked by the person they just defibbed in front of me

[twin orchid]

too many cheaters using aim bots , and please balance tournaments doesn't matter for me if i have to wait 5 min to get a tournament, i think would be more fun for everybody

[woven ore]

I very much dislike not seeing my rank gains and losses. Since it is very common that i get afks due to conectivity issues it is very stressful not knowing if im gonna demote. it is so stressful to me that im considering leaving until either afks are fixed or i have an idea of how much i lose due to afks

[noble wyvern]

I don’t like how one of the contracts is win a tournament. Those are extremely hard to win and I thought that it was win a round of tournament but instead it’s actually win a tournament which is next to near impossible. I wish it was just a round and not an actual tournament

[upbeat ore]

Is one challenging challenge too challenging for the "Challenger" circuit?

[crude brook]

the worse your ping with the sword the better

[sharp flower]

Does anyone else feel like this game has like input lag? Coming from valorant it just doesn't feel good to move my view around at all- feels floaty and unresponsive

[karmic surge]

We need to have a change in tournaments. There needs to be map changes every round. For example if I queue SYS on round one, I should get something like Monaco for round 2. This would probably help ranked itself too. Skills are challenged differently on each map.

[rich fox]

that’s their role... they pick people off.

and they do have team utility.
glitch grenade, gateway, sonar grenade.

[dark pumice]

I'm not a fan of the "win a tournament" challenge for the weekly. Yes I know "git gud" but it's not easy when you're doing it solo and I feel the challenges should be achieveable by everyone with grinding. This one is purely skill and kinda sucks.

Hopefully there won't be more like this for future weeklies.

[odd ibex]

Make the new 4team cash out gun balance like it was at global launch where players had more health cause now it’s not fun getting beamed by 4 player’s different team.

💥I swear I have to tell u devs common sense stuff where ur balancing people honestly don’t know any better and have to go back and forth cause u people r amateurs,why do u have to wait for backlash?!
Like u can’t tell at this point medium grenade launcher don’t even have to hit lights directly but can 2 shot shooting near the legs also spammy to other classes,just hopping around corners and spamming grenades and annoying cloak that’s was not even made for this version of the game which has changed so much since launch.

Cloak invis got a buff in the visibility it’s almost impossible to see them now💀
It was made when players were tanky and had more health post global launch but now milliseconds smg melt and cloak don’t mix well.
U can have these silly things in a different game mode where players have more health.
Don’t be surprised when players leave cause I can’t play any matches and lights go invis cloak point blank and I can’t see.

Remove cloak and improve the grapple hook and improve the physics to swing and not pull u in a corner.

[subtle saddle]

nerf the color red on $y$horizon please ty 🙏

[uncut kite]

Ranked que time is insane its taking 13 minutes to get into a game

[spice stag]

true red building on syshorizon makes my eyes bleed, extremely nice looking map otherwise

[slate mauve]

Give us real quality fake diamond skins. CUBIC ZIRCONIUM SKINS, WHEN?

[solid narwhal]

@fervent vortex @forest yarrow @light fox @rapid stream wasn't talking about the dude that killed me, I was talking about the guy at the end(my teamate)🤦‍♂️ im not tweaking am I? That man was locking onto everyone in the lobby

Sorry it Took way to long to reply. I was doing something
But damn it's embarrassing that people actually thought i was just being petty bc I died from a dude instead of my teammate who looks like he has the exact XYZ coordinates of everyone on the map lmao

[sturdy abyss]

Looking at the achievements on steam and only %15 of people have won a tournament. I feel like they knew what they where doing with the challenge.

[fervent vortex]

Skill issue little guy, light has by far the most team cord if they know what they are doing

[night zealot]

For the limited time game modes, they’re very similar to the current permanent game modes just altered in a slight way, but should be something completely different

[jagged cedar]

fix melee hit registration so the already worst weapons can actually do something

[elfin plaza]

Hello

My game just crashed after knockout round one and during the loading time of knockout round two. I got a message that the app got "hung" (no pun intended). Restarted the game and was greeted with a 9:30 suspension. These problems have stuck around the latter half of season one, it hurts me to see my favourite shooter in such a state.

[light fox]

It's just a visual spectator bug; nobody was cheating. Especially if you have crossplay off.

[olive fulcrum]

I agree there should be some transparency with how rank points are calculated. I assume it is based on

1. Round Attained
2. 1st/2nd/3rd/4th place

Would be nice to know if your score matters or not.

That said, for most games if you want to get competitive, ranked is not really the way forward. Getting recognized in scrims/tournies etc is the usual route. (obviously not much of that exists right now, but there is some)

I'd say if you're carrying your team regularly, you're doing good. :D

[tough merlin]

Aren't the challanges suppose to get harder? I don't know why everyone is complaining about winning a single tournement >.>

I mean the difference betwen a ranked tournement and and a non ranked one is a single round. You still have to try cause you need to win.

[glad delta]

tell me why new 4 limited tokens cash out has the worst teammates I've ever got

[viscid lichen]

because you shouldn't have to play ranked in order to complete it.

[dark pumice]

Can't speak for anyone else, but here's my take.

All the other challenges are solo friendly, or grindable. This one is purely skill based as you're relying on your teammates, not just 1 round but the entire tournament. As a solo player this is near impossible dealing with afk randos and ppl leaving mid-match.

[glad bridge]

Skill issue

[odd ibex]

No there r cheater and the meta isn’t fun,I could use those weapon but that’s too boring.

The devs made ks an inferior revolver and it somehow feels the Lewis gun and f scar is back to being op probably because they players learned the patter or I am playing against cheaters.
Nerf their damage not recoil other players said the same thing!🙏

My team and I can barely play anymore we get beamed by Lewis,f scar and m11 and i almost never see any other weapons WTF?!!!
Also buff dagger by making it hook onto walls(double tap secondary attack) and wall jumping and giving it a fast downwards thrust 130 damage.

[iron bough]

Man, have you read your comments? You are toxic, how old are you, 9?

[terse lark]

I don't get the complaining, the challenges are not supposed to be easy. it's not the devs fault if you don't want to play ranked.

[hollow barn]

That is not the problem. The problem is that they removed the unranked tournaments and many of us are in regions where it is impossible to have a ranked game due to queue times. There are regions where there are not enough players to play a ranked game because of the amount of players needed to play a tournament.

[solid narwhal]

@light fox I thought I was tweaking, I saw this happen a couple of times. I appreciate it.

[wind swan]

Need to add 1v1s and attachments would b amazing

[digital shoal]

Whats the general feeling for the "Win a torunament" contract? I've won tournaments before, but now without the unranked it seems like a but much for a contract. Forced to play ranked seems wrong.

[wintry trout]

squeaky wheel time
-fix the anti-cheat integrity check failures
-let us block people from matching with us so we can moderate against cheaters since the anti-cheat is useless
-remove the 'win 1 tournament' contract or give us back unranked tournaments
-remove either quick cash or cashout, two basically identical modes is redundant and splits the playerbase which I thought was the purpose of removing unranked tournaments and almost removing bank it

[untold gorge]

holy fuck this new shotty for heavy is dogshit

[atomic delta]

please remove the contract for winning a tournament, i have never won a tournament before (i know skill issue) so i think being forced to play ranked tournaments is not good.

[swift horizon]

Can embark change the beginning segment of the video for cloaking device? Dagger doesn't stay cloaked while charging the stab, that's only during beta.

[elfin plaza]

Update: Got kicked for a second time in the same manner, this time I was able to rejoin, only to be kicked automatically after rejoining and making it through knockout round two. I only wish I could post screenshots. Just got 21:41 suspension. Muchas gracias.

[woven ore]

Idk if you’re picking a fight or just can’t understand but I’m on another topic bud ✌️

[grand orbit]

Does anyone here know how to fix the anti-cheat integrity check failure issue? I have tried everything I could find on reddit, Steam, etc. Any suggestions would be much appreciated thanks!

[upbeat ore]

I'm bad at discord, I didn't mean to reply to you. apologies

[lunar mountain]

yeah recoil scripts and hackers have killed the game for me and my friends group also and i know thats the case for a large portion of OCE players

[bitter tangle]

Day 15 of asking for a graphical performance mode

Why do I need a $300 gpu and cpu just to play without frame drops 😦

[ivory narwhal]

I have to constantly remake my cross hair because it doesn't save whenever I close the game. Same goes for my menu claiming I've unlocked something new every time I log in.

ALSO, the Revive and Coin category on the scoreboards are mixed up!!

[inner karma]

Thoughts of adding a check that stops you from joining a game 5 seconds from finishing? That would be a good game idea i thinkj

[glacial storm]

what if the ks-23 did 110 damage >_<

and had a little more range 🥺👉👈

[regal ferry]

too many cheaters

[fresh shell]

We seriously need post-death comms to (not) revive, tired of being denied a weapon change

[merry totem]

Oof, that's some tough love there. "Too soft to be a AAA developer" is an interesting take. Obv must be frustrating for Embark, too, though, given that if they had unlimited computing power they could probably detect all the cheaters (surely recoil scripts would be a relatively simple one to catch if all the inputs could be analyzed in real-time). I keep coming back obsessively to the idea that it will only be when govt and law enforcement gets involved will these problems get better (which is not even to say they'll ever go away). In the meantime, it's a sad situation.

[river current]

rebuff sa1216(diffusion and range)

[cloud roost]

Yay 10 minute penalty for leaving a tournament when both my teammates quit with like two entire minutes left on the clock. Glad to see I’m the issue here

[slender walrus]

I was going on about the same thing. Just keep banging your head against the wall, run med and be a good healer. Eventually you will get a team that can do it.

[upper citrus]

bring back unranked tournament and replace ranked tournament with a 3v3 first to 30k

[last saddle]

PLEASE fix the matchmaking. It was 4v5 then 3v5 the entire match from start to finish. It never loaded any more people in. Also want to add FIX THE ANTICHEAT TOO! The next game had 2 dagger users one-shot stabbing people from range. I would have reported them, BUT THE REPORT SCREEN KEPT RESETTING BECAUSE THE AFTER GAME SCREENS CHANGE TOO DAMN FAST. Its getting infuriating how cheaters are just running rampant.

[ancient fractal]

Fix the rejoin system

[raw urchin]

This game is in an awful state. Ranked it a mess, the weapon balancing is god awful and I have just been penalised for a team mate leaving the game then leaving after him. We got absolutely spanked with 2 but the game has now given me a 10minute ban because of it. Honestly i'm finding this game really difficult to enjoy right now, and its a shame.

[atomic delta]

actually good idea, i would like a cashout only mode where you need to get to 40k or smth, althought the Cashout mode exists now so thats kinda what i want lol

[whole acorn]

can yall switch cashout n quick cash lol i almost thought yall took quick cash out

[astral topaz]

Pls, buff range on ks23

[glacial storm]

☝️

[odd ibex]

The devs made ks23 an inferior revolver and it somehow feels the Lewis gun and f scar is back to being op probably because they players learned the pattern or I am playing against cheaters.
Nerf their damage not recoil other players said the same thing!🙏

My team and I can barely play anymore we get beamed by Lewis,f scar and m11 and i almost never see any other weapons WTF?!!!
Also buff dagger by making it hook onto walls(double tap secondary attack) and wall jumping and giving it a fast downwards thrust 130 damage.

[slow falcon]

i quit this game sucks even if its free

[quartz crag]

I just won 3 games to round 2 and won 2 final tournaments and I’m still in the same rank, is this a glitch?

[autumn portal]

just wondering if anyone else feels like there has been just hella cheaters lately cuz i swear im being completely tracked through walls while invis or like shot from across the map with being in the open for like 5 seconds

[slender walrus]

The gateway for light is cool and gives more utility. It would be awesome if the tracking dart could be changed to a stim dart. Maybe like an instant 50 HP that could be used from range. Then lights are more all around useful. Just a thought.

[merry totem]

That's an interesting point. Maybe just like with respawn coins you get some limited number of changes per tournament.

[prime wing]

the next time i clamber the direct center of a window and it carrys me into the corner of the window into the wall and NOT THROUGH IT im filling the embark parking lot with legos

[versed bridge]

I don't see how you one shot people from range with cheats

[abstract wolf]

EMBARK PLEASE FIX ASIA SERVER

the queue time in xbox match with crossplay off is insane, 20 minutes for quick match, literally unplayeable please fix asia server ASAP

[regal ferry]

get better anticheat

[glacial sierra]

that would just make it sniper hell lol

[last saddle]

It activates the backstab from a distance. And to add to the earlier one. Tourney need to NOT put diamonds in any qualifier matches. Ever.

[nimble anchor]

need like a ping button to request for revive cause randoms sometimes ignores when ur statue is beside them

[stuck forum]

What was the reason for getting rid of unranked tournament?

[glacial knot]

The best matchmaking that i ever had is today i m diamond 4 i get match with unranked player and gold 3 , the best matchmaking ever

[jagged cedar]

You got smoked by 2 daggers?????? How far were they?

[tribal fox]

just went against a perma invis light and i dont have perms to make a bug report so what do i do

[slender oasis]

Bring back unranked tourneys or remove the 1 tourney win. Without a 3 stack or a rank higher then starting you cannot possibly win. It brings unready players to the comp. pool and makes it so much more harder to even get to 2nd round neither less a win.
I literally played with a M that tried to steal a cashout who had heal beam and I was a H, as I was going to steal it (keyword "tried", we got smoked that entire game). I thought I was bad but that is someone that shouldn't even touch ranked yet.

[rough vessel]

its a known issue

[tribal spindle]

Yea so this is every game I play. How in the world is this fair?

[merry totem]

It is true that I am an old man and that my eyes are not as good as they used to be, but anyone else wishing the blue, red, pink, purple, orange outlines around players were just the tiniest bit thicker? Maybe that's by design. Just part of the game. Don't want to make it too easy. Or maybe there just aren't enough pixels. But nothing is quite so fun (especially for my teammates) when I'm shooting at the blue guy and not the red guy because I can't tell the difference between them.

[rich fox]

we’ll all get to that point someday

[woven hawk]

Please add a frag grenade indicator.

I don't mind 100 grenades per game.

Just let me see them

[oblique sorrel]

I’m no where near as quick as I was 10 years ago, just have to be smarter and more clever then the rest of the players

At least 3x the way out of melee range. While staring right at them too. It activated the backstab so basically killed in 1-2 hits on a Medium. And they timed them every time.

It was absolute garbage. Like not trying to hide anything

Title: Covert Operations

Game Objective:
In Covert Operations, the props (players disguised as objects) must complete specific tasks within a limited time frame while avoiding detection by the hunters.

Gameplay Mechanics

Objectives:
Each round presents the prop team with randomized objectives such as hacking terminals, stealing documents, or planting bombs.

Teams:
The two playable teams will be: Props and Hunters.
Props disguise themselves as objects, while Hunters aim to locate and eliminate them.

Prop Abilities:
Props have abilities like temporary invisibility or distraction devices, along with taunts alike.
These help in completing objectives and evading hunters.

Hunter Mechanics:
Hunters use gadgets like motion sensors or heat vision goggles to locate props.
They balance thorough searching with time management.

Environment Interaction:
Props hide among objects and trigger distractions, while hunters manipulate the environment to flush them out.

Progression and Rewards:
Players earn XP and rewards for completing objectives or eliminating props or evaiding hunters

Round Dynamics:
Time-limited rounds require props to complete objectives before time runs out or they are eliminated.
Players switch roles each round.

Strategic Depth:
Coordinated teamwork is vital for both props and hunters to succeed.
Strategic gameplay and communication are key.

Customization:
Randomized round duration, objectives, and gadgets will provide a unique personalized experience.
With these mechanics, Covert Operations enhances the traditional Prop Hunt gameplay, offering a strategic and immersive covert mission experience.

Essentially a glorified prophunt.

does anyone else have trouble getting discord overlay to work in game?? it doesnt work for me ever

[leaden umbra]

Please remove "Win 1 Tournament" in the Challnger Career Circuit, I don't want to be forced to play your shitty ranked tournament. I'm on Asian server. Cheater is everywhere. You unlock this career challenge the same week you remove Tournament in Quick Play. what a brain dead move.

[naive magnet]

The game has come a long way since Jan. alone so im excited tos see were they take it

[somber musk]

there's a glitch where the heal beam doesn't work

[quaint forge]

Yes that’s how it’s been for me, I don’t know how this messed up sbmm works, and now the servers won’t stop lagging

[jagged cedar]

LOL were they dash stabbing you? It genuinely sounds like they were styling on you. When they killed you would they dash and you would die?

[atomic drum]

Average pc latency is even greater than network latency, sometimes instantaneous latency of 80ms, compared to other games you can see how bad tf is in this area.

[trim charm]

There's a bug where the proper number of coins is not being displayed properly.

In my match, I had 3 coins but didn't realize it because the scoreboard said I had 0

[dense ivy]

Can we please get a “favourites” for skins? That way you can select skins and it will select randomly from them at the beginning of the game.

This is like the norm for most games nowadays and it would be really nice to have

[rough vessel]

currently coins and revives are swapped

[golden blade]

Game has been a quirky Call of Duty in quickplay, especially power shift. Whole teams of Light snipers. A shame, this game was amazing. Concurrent player count speaks for itself.

[glacial knot]

The cause lack of players . I said this many times and i say it again, the only way to fix matchmaking, is to design ranked like cash out , 2 Qualification rounds and 1 final round. Instead 16 team only 8 teams per battle, so the battle will need less players, they will be able to make not perfect but a much better matchmaking.

[tribal spindle]

Agreed. 4 rounds is too long anyways. I’m so tired of how inconsistent it is. Probably done with ranked. Casual is way more fun. At least on ps5 only I’ve never run into a single cheater🤷🏼‍♂️, but the mm is so atrocious right now the game is unplayable. Me and my bronze 4 friend should never ever que with a diamond player let alone 9 of them.

[cursive parcel]

im sure this has been mentioned before, but invis-bombs should contribute to the support score

[bold rose]

Please change colors team! In the new map at night it is really awful to instant differ from Purple and Pink teams when you are in a pink/purle area.

[last kite]

I was playing Medium with the healing beam the during my first tournament attempt, but a serious bug prevented me from healing my teammates for the entire game, which cost us the victory. I have encountered this bug several times already, and I do believe that other players encountered this problem too. Please fix this bug immediately Embark team, as this is a serious issue.

[deft moth]

it dosen't?,huh

[merry totem]

I don't know how Embark calculates rank changes following a match, but seems to me they should adjust for competition level. Of course, saying "Embark should this, Embark should that"... I'm tired of others doing it, so I guess that just makes me a hypocrite. Also, it's safe to say that Embark can't be computing everything they'd like to. Anyway, if players knew that just by outperforming the avg, say, gold versus diamond, that we'd get a boost to our ranking rather than a penalty that would at least take the sting out of almost always losing the match itself.

[last saddle]

Nope. No dashing involved. I've seen that dash then auto-180 stab before. Just double backstab from 30 feet out

[leaden umbra]

yes. I experience this to.

[clear crystal]

Please remove that tournament win mission it's too hard especially now you removed the casual tournament mode that was faster

[full marsh]

fix fcar plz

[versed bridge]

I don't see how a cheat like that would even be possible
Maybe they were just good and dash stabbed you

[autumn portal]

why was casual tourney even removed? legit one of my favorite game modes

[upper citrus]

bring back unranked tournament and replace ranked tournament with a competitive ranked 3v3.

this will make balancing a million times easier for ranked and lead to less bullshit rng and frustration for the people who are most affected by it (serious competitive players)

this will also bring queue times for competitive down to like 2 seconds

also, you could have some cool reward tied to tournaments to incentivize playing them. maybe once a week you could get 50 multibucks by winning a tournament

[dusk matrix]

why do i have to win one tournment

[proven ibex]

They must decrease the size of ranked otherwise this game will be dead soon. 16 teams in a match where players base is very less? It's not at all practical. They must make ranked with 3 teams or 4 teams

[exotic lagoon]

I hate solo queuing

[radiant kettle]

This is just crazily bad

[tight verge]

Dagger noregs when backstabbing at the exact moment you dash. plx fix

[solemn topaz]

Can someone PLEASE tell me why, when the game fails to load me into the next match saying "waiting for other players to connect" when the next ranked match is going on. The game fails to put me into a match and when I restart my game, why do I get completely removed and punished for something NOT MY FAULT. Why is this happening in the first place?

[last saddle]

Can we please stop throwing players into games that are 5 seconds away from a loss and then throwing another loss on their record? It's massively frustrating.

[cloud roost]

Having the win 1 tournament contract show up the week you kill unranked tournament has got to be the worst idea ever. There’s a reason I played a total of two tournament games last season and now in season 2 I don’t really want to have to spend hours trying to grind out a win when I could be playing a mode I actually enjoy? Extra sucks when this is the one mode that seems to crash the game every few matches.
Would rather be added to a game that’s about to get a loss about a thousand times than play more tournament rounds.

[upper citrus]

try reinstalling preferably on an SSD. this is what fixed the issue for me

[vagrant anvil]

NERF FCAR TO NOT ONE MAG ANYMORE

[rapid vault]

if your trying to solo queue the thing you might as well just give up

this happens whenever you're moving downward, extremely annoying and genuinely makes the weapon near unplayable and its been a thing since s1

[stable wadi]

SHOW US OUR RANKED POINTS

[severe thicket]

why can't we switch guns mid game in ranked?

[proven ibex]

And the serious issue is devs not even acknowledging these bugs. I couldn't get into ranked but with help of pc player I got into one. We were qualified for last round and game crashed, we tried to reconnect but it said we were suspended for violation. We tried hard our asses to get into finals just for that achievement but got suspended because of a crash.. that's just painful and ridiculous. First time , yesterday we got so frustrated and dint play the game again. Switched to party animals 🤣 to cool down for a bit.

[near snow]

bring back the ability to see progress for ranking up

[tough anchor]

PLEASE change the win a tournament contract, a lot of people don't have people to play with and most likely can't win a tournament, especially since it's ranked exclusive. maybe "get 10 wins" would be easier, just PLEASE PLEASE not tournament

the APS turret is overpowered... needs a use limit. playing powershift, the only strategy to win is having a whole team of mediums with turrets and aps. automatic win. needs to have an amount of explosions it can take before being unusable or gets destroyed

[inner escarp]

There should be multiple ways and detail levels of specifying network statistics. I find it hard to troubleshoot what is actually happening when I get lag-spikes from playing outside of the suggested server region, so it would be nice to have detailed network statistics, but others may not need them.
-> have different levels of network statistics, from the current pictographical ones to full-blown ping, PL and other latency stats.
-> Have a way of specifying the location of these statistics, whether it be one of the 4 corners of a screen, or where it is currently

[tight verge]

I might just be bad but I cant recreate. I think its the same problem as im talking about. I cant find anything connection between falling and noregs. oh wait but the dash only does the wird noreg thing when your in air, not when your on the ground. I think that's what your talking about

[arctic thistle]

i don’t know if i can do this anymore. Made it to the final round with my team, tried my hardest, all of us putting in great work, to get snuffed out at the last second and lost the round. I can’t do this, im not good enough for to best the learning curve it takes to be good at this game

[turbid gate]

do the devs know the game is unbalanced? like a light dies to everything heavies do insane damage (im lokin at u flamethrower) and mediums dominate the meta with thier insane fcar

[cloud roost]

Totally agree. Taking a portion of damage absorbed would be nice even if it was a small percentage like 5%. Alternatively, for power shift you could place a limit on the number of deployables (aps, turret, and possibly the heavy’s motion sensor just to be fair) that either limits to a certain number entirely or causes the platform to slow by like “weighing it down”.

[last eagle]

interesting concept. i dig it!

[past cloak]

Hey devs! As usual, thanks for the great game! Some suggestions below:

• As others have mentioned, APS on Power Shift is very frustrating to play against. Suggestions for that: buffing all DMG to deployables in Power Shift specifically (I think that helps in general with "bunker down" builds with turrets and shields and goo and barricade, etc.), or, suggestion #2: make it so that when glitch grenades or glitch mines get blow by APS it gets glitched, so after throwing one of those, there is at least a window for sending in explosives to try to get rid of it (I think it still feels fair, and has counterplay in that the APS can be replaced to cleanse the debuff, or by just waiting it out. Also comes as a way that Lights can support their team even in modes other than Power Shift, which I see as a bonus)
• The Tracking Dart gadget on the light (yeah, someone uses it, crazy, I know! 😆) has an issue with the visual indicator (box that fills up on the bottom right of the screen) of the CD vs the actual cooldown. The visual indicator says that the CD is done before it is, and if you grab the dart gun and try to reload it at that point, it gets into a glitchy reload state until your ammo actually comes back. Not a major glitch or anything, but yeah
• I imagine it's come up before, but I feel it's essential to have loadouts be remembered in events. Every time I get into a match of Bunny Bash, I have to correct the loadouts for the 3 classes before the match starts or remember to do it on the fly if I want to switch classes after a death. Just make it remember the last loadout you used for that class in that event gamemode, it'd be so much better. For the minimum 9 matches for the event rewards, that is 27 times swapping the builds... Or it would be if loadout swapping wasn't pretty awful by itself in Power Shift

With love, from Brazil!

weeeeeird fix plz

Im in plat and queued with bronze players like hello??

Because, regardless of the difficulty of completing it, you have to be able to get in a ranked match, which never happens to me

[livid fern]

why they removed unranked tourney. only fun thing in this game and they just remove it, ranked is sweaty and quickmatch is boring

[distant fossil]

lumaninte and shellfishotter if yall in here GGs EDIT WC meant to be the-finals-chat

• play again as a team button
• smokes disable all fire damage
• see friends list characters cosmetics in list
• glitch nade and landmine last 7 seconds not 5 or 10
• glitch mine has larger radius
• let heavy rpg behind a barricade insted of rpging himself
• no getting stuck in goo when its moving around on power shift point
• animation glitch with heavy sledgehammer where it doesnt play swing animation when you instantly turn off mesh shield and swing (at least for the guitar)
• fix ui staying static and unreadable when u are spectating (cant see team scores in cashout gamemode when spectating cuz it stays static when spectating)
• FIX POWER SHIFT. YOU CAN BE ON ENEMY POINT AND THE POINT MOVES AND THEY STILL WIN. THERE IS NO CLUTCHING LIKE IN ANY OTHER GAMES HAVE WITH THIS GAMEMODE

[subtle tree]

Just had a very fast pace round 3, and made it to box 7 (which displays as box 1). To my disappointment, it is another $22,000 box. I've played 200 hours by the in game timer, and this is the first time I've seen box 7 opened, was really hoping for some stupid amount of cash that would force 1st place to engage, even if they were in a safe 1st to 2nd scenario with team #2.

I play mostly ranked tournament, for reference.

[pearl urchin]

no one says you have to be good! I’m terrible and I still play

[past cloak]

Continuation on feedback:

• Loadout swapping in Power Shift is awful. It's just really confusing, and if you modified your original loadout a lot, die, and then only want to swap one thing from your current choices, you actually have to remake your whole setup from the start. It is especially bad with the fact that the choices are a single line so you can't see all gadgets and weapons at once and you need to scroll a lot to the side, and the order is not very intuitive either... It just doesn't work well. My suggestion would be that when you have a modified loadout, when you die with it and go into the change loadout screen, it just shows your current loadout. If you want to go back to the original saved loadout that you built it upon, you can just press that loadout on the upper left corner! The way it currently is feels pretty bad and actually was a bit of a pain point for my 2 friends that just got back to the game and I was trying to show them how Power Shift works. The gamemode can already be a lot to take in for the first time playing it, we don't need an unnecessarily confusing loadout change system to worsen that experience, right?
• This is a very small bug, but it is a bug nonetheless. Changing the key bind for changing loadouts (default "J") to any other button does literally nothing. "J" is still the only key that works, and even if you replace it entirely, it still works and whatever other input you've set doesn't do anything. I've tried function keys (F1 - F10), numbers, letters and special characters, nothing worked
• Another very small bug, since the latest patch, I've noticed on Cashout, Power Shift and Bunny Bash (haven't had the chance to play other gamemodes yet on the new update, but I assume it's the same in those), the Revives and Revive Tokens are switched in the Leaderboard during the match. I've pressed tab to find myself with infinite Revives and 3 Revive Tokens in a Power Shift match, which confused me for a second there 🤣

[past cloak]

Okay, final feedback of the day, this time about Ranked Tournament and quests:

I've seen many folks here complaining about the Challenger quest of winning 1 tournament (now, exclusively ranked tournament) match, either because they hate ranked, because ranked takes too long in a single match, because many experience game crashes and punishment during ranked, and, my personal case, that they can't find a ranked match in a reasonable amount of time.

I think that having the quest in the Challenger path is a great incentive for newbies to try out ranked for the first time, and having the "win" condition instead of just "play" ensures that people won't just get into ranked and throw the match to get the quest done. That's great. However, it does also mean that people who want the challenger reward but have any of the above issues with ranked will be sad.

My suggestion is: every once in a while, in randomly selected days or recurring weekly/biweekly (ideally, Fridays or weekend days, since they have the higher player counts and thus will make the most impact), have a special daily quest that rewards a lot more XP and VRs than usual daily quests that is "win a ranked tournament match". The benefits:

• People who want unique stuff won't complain, since XP and VRs can be earned just by playing normally
• It targets people who want XP and VRs, which is more likely to be casual or newbie players, who probably need more incentive to play ranked than vets or hardcore players
• It greatly increases the amount of people playing ranked in that specific day, making matchmaking faster and better for everyone (which can also help people like me get the Challenger Track quest done!)

Of course, this could also be a bonus weekly quest, but then you lose the benefit of having a concentrated volume of players, so you greatly lessen the benefit to matchmaking time/quality, while also losing the feel of something truly bonus, something special, that a time-limited daily quest has.

[amber fern]

Ranked Tournament disallowing loadout changes makes it a game of Rock Paper Scissors. Way too much luck this way

[hasty trout]

Sorry if this has been said before, but we should be able to lie down

[steel mist]

i feel like if anything only let you change ur weapon/gadgets but not ur main ability like heals/demat/turret

[toxic iron]

in a game like this it wouldnt make sense tbh, it can't be slow cuz it will feel out of place and if its fast people will spam and be impossible to hit or god forbid headshot

[molten palm]

Queueing 49 mins for a ranked match, for the umpteenth time. Thanks Embark, the game is so fun

[fickle linden]

I'm sorry to hear this, but we're hearing you and passing on all the concerns about this. Improving ranked is a process and we really hope that we can get it to a place where everyone is happy

[stray rampart]

Just don't remove any more things 😭

[subtle tree]

What are you smoking?

Follow up question: You sharing?

[proven ibex]

They must look into this bug instead of acting it doesn't exist.

[amber fern]

If I pick a build that gets countered by my enemies (unpredictable and thus luck), I am at a major disadvantage. In ranked tournament you can't switch your build so you're stuck with that disadvantage for the whole game

[molten palm]

Thanks for responding. I still look forward to the weekly patches, hoping someday the issue will be fixed

[digital drum]

Please Embark consider rework career "win 1 tournament" into something more casual friendly , in fact only 15% of players won tournament atleast once , and i guess other careers on higher levels gonna have it too with more wins sadly

edit: nate

[fickle linden]

Our team is aware this is problematic rn and looking into it

[vagrant raptor]

buff the dagger dagger or just remove it. its a pos weapon that cant compete with a single other weapon in the game.

[quick coyote]

add a BRIGHTNESS SLIDER

[hasty trout]

Made a lot of sense actually, thanks, I just thought it'd be practical for snipers but also avoiding them lol

[broken musk]

would like to have a button to jump to current BP level in the BP menu

[subtle tree]

That's the nature of it, you only get so much information and you've got to roll the dice based on the map and team compositions you're facing. Assume your enemy is going to have the strongest counter against you with their class, and build your kit accordingly. See three lights? At least two of them are going to have the cloak, bring a detect (or open your eyes and ears, they're easy to spot when you're expecting them). See 3 mediums? Gonna be a lot of healing or a lot of turrets, bring glitch equipment. Same goes for your weapons, bring the right tools for the job.

You don't go into a competitive game knowing exactly what you're opponent is going to be doing, you make your best guess based on the available information and plan accordingly. Made round 3 twice tonight, round 4 twice last night, one of those was a victory. Not boasting, just saying this game is not that difficult - you're just not going to win most of the tournaments you play, as that is the nature of a bracket tournament.

Side note, even in the casual game modes (excluding Power Shift), given perfectly matched teams every time, you will always have less than a 50% win rate. The expected win rate for this game given perfectly even games (again, casual game modes) would be 33.33%. Unless you are very good, you'll likely sit around there or a little lower. Just trying to drive home the point that people shouldn't get so bent out of shape about losing.

/ / / P.S. SYS$HORIZON is hands down the best map, don't mess with it. / / /

[lost crag]

Please tone done the colour effects on sys horizon. I use a red crosshair and inside the red building you really can't see jack 'cause everything blends in.

The map's also just visually noisy. I have visual impairments so I have to run digital vibrance on & gamma (toning down doesnt help on this map) in certain spots and every other maps perfectly fine, but I think just the insane contrast and vibrancy of the lighting makes it pretty unfun.

Also, the map just feels quite unfun to play compared to every other map. Especially in Power Shift. I'm not sure what it is, maybe the lack of rooftops? Not quite sure what's missing honestly, but it feels like there's less options when taking fights or something.

A dodge feature might be kinda nice. Picking a map pool or banning a map you dislike, but meh just a suggestion. Good job on the game though. Really digging it 🙂

[cunning otter]

Thoughts on people playing the game like it's COD/TDM:

What's the point of playing the objective if your team doesn't(Or worse doesn't understand) it?

People playing teambased modes as if its a deathmatch is a tale as old as the FPS genre itself. How the devs respond is up to them.

Most people don't even understand the main gamemode of this game 🤣 And In all honesty, the main gamemode is simply too hard for the average FPS player. They want to shoot moving objects, nothing less and nothing more.

Unfortunately if you bring up the idea of a deathmatch mode, you are trying to "kill the game", as if that isn't what most people want.

[cedar fulcrum]

please add the game to Xbox one and PS4 so my friends can play

Sry, I'm just wondering why no one is acknowledging this bug or replying under the bug reports? It's the critical one and must be fixed for console players. Please go through bug reports where it's clearly explained in my report and other reports

[spring crane]

[grim scaffold]

they must really focus on the cheaters in this game (especially in ranked)

[lyric parrot]

The game is really good overall sick idea and game loop. Though I feel like it does fall flat to a certain extend. When you hit diamond and reached max lvl. There is no "new" or grindy thing to do. I know we have weapon levels, but there is no reward for completing all weapons. I think taking some inspiration from COD, is not a bad idea.

I also don't know if this is true, but I feel like there is a "push" percentage on the new map. It is a cool map, but when I play it 10 matches in a row, I get tired from it. This also adds to the "flat" feeling.

Ideas:

• Make way more skins for weapon levels.

• Prestige system with levels. Just a few icons and maybe a reward for reaching max prestige.

• Make a few more ranks.

• I think you are already working on it, but somehow show progression in rank.

• More customizable crosshairs

• Reward system for completing a set of weapons (weapon levels/skins)

• Spawns: There is always a cashout with 3 teams and the last team gets theirs for free. I feel like the spawn "facing" is where the reason lies. Somehow make the teamwiped team spawn pointed towards the closest cashout or vault.

Positive feedback:
The best game I've played in a while. Your new season 2 is really good. The new gadgets and abilities is creating a cool dynamic. Your map designs are wonderful. Seoul construction is by far the best "event" to a map. Monaco is just a perfect map. Skins designs are really cool and the community effort you put in is nice to see. Game "loop" is pretty darn good, better than most games. Story line/lore is awesome and again overall just a great game.

I know this game is going to hit the big screens, but it just needs some lovely touches. In highrank, we see a chinese cheater every other game and this is the most frustrating part of it all. Cheaters...

Thanks xox

Tbh adding adaptive triggers is a bit unnecessary. I understand that some people like it but it's a competitive shooter. Everyone will turn it off and then they added it for nothing

So is cod and overwatch I play ranked and still be top of the leaderboard against pc or Xbox imo it needs to be added literally every shooter has it for ps5 it really sucks comming from those games with amazing haptics to this and my controller feeling dead if I didn’t want it I’d play a ps4 game and on the real it should be added if they want it off they can turn it off but it’s next gen game should fs have next gen technology especially 120 hz support but haptics is a must for me it’s the whole reason I gotta ps5 and not an Xbox or pc and wanna see it for my favorite game, even games like fortnight and indies like roller dome have haptics it’s sad the finals doesn’t yet either idk if it’ll be able to hold me without them 😮‍💨 really hope they implement it soon because too many great shooters out there with it to play

[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)
• Increase swing speed (Honestly a lot issues would be solve with this, the weapon lacks a good ttk)
• 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)
• Electrify the baton and give it a glitch effect, when you hit somebody they're glitched for 2,5 sec (This would give the shield so much utility and would help the team greatly, making it a viable options)
• Remove the fov zoom when you hold your shield up (it's very annoying that when you block the screen zooms in, either remove it or add the option to choose between affected or indipendent fov while aiming)

ALLOW MELEE WEAPONS TO KEEP SPRITING WHEN ATTACKING:

• This would help them to compete

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

Also, can we please get South African servers?

[coarse thunder]

uhh... How can I send a photo here? I need to report something.

[balmy compass]

They're matching 16 players for each ranked. People are bound to get doubled maps. It's most likely an weighted average of what all players had last round. You just got bad rng getting people that played skyway/monaco match before. You should ask for map voting instead like others have. I agree with that and would have liked to have map voting before tourney start

[pine kernel]

Uve prob heard this a million times but PLEASE WHY DID U REMOVE UNRANKED TOURNEY WHEN RANKED IS NOT READY im getting people quitting in round 1 and people who refuse to coordinate and just a general really bad experience trying to play ranked. If the solution is to get a full stack before playing it, then that cuts out the majority of your casual playerbase, which brings us back to needing a more casual way to enjoy tournaments. I do understand saving servers tho and u took it down because it wasnt played, so please just fix ranked.

Also rly nitpicky but please make it so that when i open the bp it opens on to the page im actually at so i dont have to sit there clicking next page

A Ranked tournament needs 48 Players to start, just think about that. Anyways, if you want to improve, you have to play against better people and if you want get gold, you gotta play against them anyways.

[balmy compass]

Win games? There isn't that much difference in bronze 1 and gold 1 (trust me). The placements were wack so lots of people that shouldn't be in gold, heck in silver, are at that rank and can barely play. Just do your best, don't play a troll load out, swap to a class that your team needs, use coms even if no one else talks you making call outs can easily win the game vs a no coms team. No need to ask Embark to change the game for you to be able to rank up. Focus on yourself and how you can help your team and you'll easily rank up.

[molten trail]

why can't we select "Game ruined by cheaters" as a feedback option? Happening every other match in season 2 diamond rank now. Chinese cheaters are beginning to infest eu / na servers.

[versed bridge]

I kind of just want a +4 damage boost to 4 shot heavies and just better hitreg...
Backstab dagger hitbox is already pretty massive, you can easily backstab someone by just dashing past them without looking at their back

I kind of enjoy melee weapons being worse than the others...
I'm a weird one :P

[flat ice]

add support for M&K on consoles, playing with my friends on PC is horrible, playing with crossplay on PC not having support is kind of pointless

[lyric parrot]

I don't think you read the "post" completely. The Finals is not battlefield, just because you can destroy buildings. Even though it has a similar feature. My point is that I feel like the game needs more depth and a "reason" to play/grind for. 🙂

And again it is one of the best multiplayer games I've played in a while.

[quick coyote]

I cannot find ranked games eu

[gloomy verge]

Why is it horrible and pointless?

[strong vessel]

I dont get how 4 hitting heavies makes that much of a difference, when you can quick melee after the 4th hit to achieve the same thing.

[upper citrus]

bring back unranked tournament and replace ranked tournament with a competitive ranked 3v3.

this will make balancing a million times easier for ranked and lead to less bullshit rng and frustration for the people who are most affected by it (serious competitive players)

this will also bring queue times for competitive down to like 2 seconds

also, you could have some cool reward tied to tournaments to incentivize playing them. maybe once a week you could get 50 multibucks by winning a tournament

Game is falling apart at the seams tbh, Ranked matches starting without full teams, frequently getting stuck in the pre-game loading screen, regular packet loss, new players funnelled into a highly punishing quickplay mode meaning endless leavers, horrible spawns, horrible matchmaking in solo Q, horrible bugs preventing capture of the obj, cheaters still rampant with 0 acknowledgement. Ggs.

rework invis to literally just be tf2 invis with slightly faster cloak and decloak times. full invis and silent but long cloak and decloak times where you cannot shoot. there is a reason every competitive game with invis uses full and silent invis

[gaunt dock]

You guys need to adress the cheater situation its crazy how out of 10 games there is 7 of those games ive gotten at least a single hacker. Its always the same Chinese name to hide their actual steam ID. Show that u care about the community and focus on fixing the important stuff we do not care if u release more microtransactions and events. FIX UR GAME!!

[runic shale]

ranked needs to be worked on, 8 placement games and every game had a leaver that crippled the game for us. So, maybe autofill like you did with casual games sessions.

[leaden umbra]

Just remove the "Win 1 Tournament" no need quantum physic calculation to figure this out , The same week they remove Tournament in Quick Play, Is the same week, That challenge is revealed. Maybe if they don't remove it in Quick Play at the first place. People wont complained much. People like me don't want to play ranked, because ranked suck anyway, I have more fun playing Power Shift.

[hearty rose]

Add a scope to LH1 for god sake
The gun is pretty good but lack of scope makes it hard to land your shots after 2 or 3 misses
(A red dot sight or a magnified scope this will increase its pick rate)

[spice knot]

It's funny how so many people complain about cheaters while i have played over 150+ games and only seen a single cheater.

[smoky gust]

^this

currently its pretty inconsistent, especially between different levels of skill
at high levels it seems to be pretty bad, which then leads to people defending its usage in casual, where it can be frustrating

if it were full silent cloak (with the mentioned decloak time) it would be useful (and probably less annoying) everywhere
it would also help against the cloak stun-gun combo, which i would wholeheartedly welcome
and the current cloak visibility seems to be tied to graphical settings, so making it balanced around full invisibility would solve that issue too

it makes it easier to get any use out of it, since you don't have to worry about the shimmer effect anymore, while also raising the skill ceiling, since you need to watch where and how you decloak

[steep barn]

Agree

[twilit sorrel]

Are the servers down? I’ve been waiting for 12 mins to join a match

[polar steppe]

Please add points to ranked tournement. I dont know when i am going up on the next rank. Perhabs add a scale where i can See how many points i have currently and how much points i get for (Kills, Support, Objectiv, etc.)

[potent sentinel]

Add kill cams or replays it’s very needed

[leaden schooner]

cause you are a bot

[fickle linden]

Will suggest including cheater suspicions, in the meantime I think toxic behavior might be a good idea!

[hearty rose]

It's a bug I faced it before

[proper juniper]

@dense gulch @fiery hill @worthy roost how are you guys doing? 🙂 We are doing not so good lately (maybe you've ALEADY noticed). What is the state of solving problem with cheaters? Same players are constantly pulled into our lobbies doing like 20+ frags with consistent 15-17k damage. Love to see the same nicknames for a month or so. I guess even a slightly blind person can notice some patterns in this statistics. Here are just couple of names for you to take a look: 1, number and allah apk 2.0 jokeless. Since reports does not provide any resonable actions from our side (yes, truly there are non) at least ban them manually. It is ruining game for the rest (of already small) community.

[jaunty pawn]

Get better

[delicate basin]

Can we maybe ban invis on dark maps

[young minnow]

Its been a thing teams team up to knock out the better team

[upper tangle]

Somehow we will always get ranked with people one division higher than us idk maybe there are not enough silver people but we are silver 1 and our friend is bronze 4/3… and we always play against gold 2-1…. And just 2 or 3 in our rank… I think it’s okay cause we win from time to time but sometimes it’s super frustrating 🙂 when you start the match and ervebody is higher than you… Annnd if I play alone and I want to play light or medium i will often get matched with only lights or only mediums and the other teams are full heavy and stuff 🙂 sooo sometimes it’s hard to play a specific comp when nobody is willing to change and often I’m the one who picks the role I don’t like… but not sure how to tackle this because role queues like in overwatch are not my fav.

[pseudo breach]

Map voting for ranked I can understand and that should've been implemented from the get go. But I'm more of a casual player where I easily play 20+ matches a day even more over weekends. Before Horizon was added, I was getting Vegas literally 90% of the time. There was this one day a few months back where I got Vegas 15 times in a row. I just quit playing all together that weekend.

[obsidian solar]

Give smoke grenade to all classes! It would open so many possibilities! I would use smoke so much if it was on medium, on the other hand i've barely seen any Light using smoke, especially when they have better gadgets to choose from

[severe wave]

Matchmaking is gonna be 3 hours if they do role que. The game has such a low player count sadly. Especially on console... I dont like the word dead but man ranked on console feels so damn dead ):

[smoky gust]

another good reason to make cloak balanced around full invis

its less map dependent, making it more consistent
it also makes it less frustrating to face on maps like this and around the dust clouds of crumbling buildings

[timber hazel]

Does anyone feel like you get horizon map in rank a lot? I just got to Diamond 4 and I swear most of the time, I was playing horizon map the most by a long shot. Like barely do I get soul and Las Vegas anymore (though I guess not getting Las Vegas is a good thing)

[quick coyote]

Game won’t even fucking load

[mint arrow]

Please add scopes to weapons. Yknow how you can level up each weapon to unlock new skins? There should be scopes that come along with these skins.

I think a big reason most prefer the Fcar over the ak is just the scope. The ak scope is so shit lmao

[lapis oriole]

Team color for evasive dash and dematerializer 🙏

[balmy compass]

They're iron sight weapons for a reason, If they didn't want weapons without scopes that would have been the case long ago. It's always a trade-off for something, in AKs case it's mag size. Just imagine having FCAR scope on AK even. Like a 32 ammo FCAR. Also locking players that start out to iron sight and have to level to get scope thus having an advantage? Tf kinda balancing is that...

the rank you queue at is determined by the highest rank in your party. idk if the third person that left was plat but that would explain the diamond player. it also will loosen the rank restrictions if queues are taking too long and it just needs to find a lobby.

[teal minnow]

For season 3 add a gadget "lock" system. It would be simple like this ,imagine a team with 2 heavies both equiped with mesh shield it's pretty unfair to play against two mesh shield heavy. So basicly what this system would do is that it locks the number of gadgets , spec and weapon ,here is an example : there is 2 heavy in the team one picked mesh shield the other can't .But if we are talking about gadgets some of them are not locked to one ,they are locked to two or three example : If Heavy 1 picks dome shield , rpg , grenade then the other can't pick dome shield and rpg but he can pick grenades aswell bc 2 dome shield and 2 rpg would be op and the other team-mate can't pick grenade bc theres already 2 grenade in use. This same thing aplies to mediums and lights. And another thing is random locking on gadgets ,every round one or two gadgets would get locked to one or two or just switch lock numbers. This would bring balance to a new level and also force players to try a new weapon or gadget or spec. EMBARK PLEASE REPLY IF READ. (sry for bad english)

Day 20 of me begging the devs to give heavy an M134 Minigun as a Specialization.

• 200 Round magazine, ammo is restored two bullets every second, 100 seconds for a full reload.
• 20 rounds per second, eleven damage a round, 220 DPS
• Falloff begins at 30 meters down to six damage a shot at 50, but wide spread means the weapon becomes less effective past 10 meters even against larger targets
• bullets do high damage to structures, allowing a mid-range option to output mass destruction (destroying entire walls on higher floors of buildings, ripping apart nesting sightlines)
• • significant damage to structures and players
• • gun can be pre-spooled with RMB over having an ADS (for obvious reasons, you try to aim down the sights of a water cooler)|
• • high suppressive force through sheer amount of bullets being fired
• • its a goddamn minigun
• - Heavy cannot jump or sprint while holding it, has to switch back to primary
• - lengthy equip-unequip time to balance such
• - gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

This game really needs long term achievements that could unlock exclusive cosmetics when completed.

Some of them could be easy challenges but take a lot of time like "Get 10k kills on ranked" or "Win 20 tournaments". And other ones could be just a very difficult challenge like "get 30+ kills on a match" or "win 5 games in a row". They could even give you slightly different versions of the same cosmetic, that would get better as you progress through that challenge. For example gold gloves when you get more that 20 kills in a game and diamond ones when you get 30.

[rough herald]

Medium GL:
note: it doing selfdamage is so annoying as it reset the regen timer, making the user effectively out of the fight entirely
suggestion:
. if i can ask for anything then i would ask for it to do no self damage at all
. OR make it not reset the timer so i would still take damage but i don't need to afk anymore
. also make the projectail past throw allis also would be big (self damage resetting)

@lofty crypt From my perspective at least, the matchmaking is 100 times better than last season. If the top rank system is the same as last season, it only has effect on time played not skill…you could very well be in the same bracket of capability as this guy. Did you get rolled?

Light gadget: Ospuze pro drink

Has two charges but a slightly longer cooldown to discourage spam

On activation: drink half of an ospuze. Gain 35 temp health that decays at a rate of 1hp per second after a 10 second grace period. Also gain a 10-15% movement speed buff during the decay grace period. effects do not stack

Neither the health or the move speed buffs stack, but can be topped up. The longer cooldown leaves room for skill expression because using both charges leaves you vulnerable for the duration of the cooldown, but can be a useful trade off in an extended fight or a third party situation. Using the second charge to extend the move speed buff if you haven’t taken damage can be worthwhile for traversal or running away, but comes at the cost of wasting the temp health for the second charge. It also leaves downtime for the light to be eliminated without having 185 health.

Making Cashout the default quickplay mode is a horrific decision for multiple reasons

This game has no SBMM. This game is an objective-based game. This game has abilities & gadgets that take time to learn.

These things naturally make the experience for new players awful. And vice versa for experienced players stomping clueless newcomers or having them on their team.

Why you would then make the default mode one in which every single individual death punishes you with a 30 second respawn timer blows my mind. Then there’s the extended team wipe timer and rez tokens. The intricacies to the mode that are punished brutally. The multiple decisions to make rather than following a single, simple OBJ.

The mode is a total leave-fest, even more than other casual modes. Imagine queuing up for your first ever match, dying instantly to some guy with 100+ hours and then having to wait 30-60 seconds to respawn. This isn’t an onboarding experience for new players, it’s an execution of your playerbase. Leavers further impound the problem of sitting afk at one cashout whilst everyone else fights at the other.

Make Cashout similar to the Smoking Guns event with even more lenience. ~14 second respawns, not 30. No tokens. Teamwipe money loss not so brutal. Some markers to guide players to the objective.

And then understand that the average player has minimum teamwork and coordination. 10s health regen is balanced around teamplay with healing beam. That has to change. Light: 5s, Medium: 5.5s, Heavy: 6s

Ok this feedback might not ring well with most players, but coming from apex and LOVING the movment in that game, I feel like finals is really lacking in the movment tech department. All the movment tech discovered since open beta has been patched and frankly wasn't even that intriguing in the first place. (Edge boosting/supergliding etc) . Because of this lack, the meta gameplay is settling into stale midrange aim spam. There is not much skill expression in anything else. This is also because of the weapon balance choices but I won't get into that.

I think the best movment tech was in the original closed beta 1. I'm talking prop boosting and zipping flinging. That tech was SOOOO unique and SOOO FUN. THATS what hooked a lot of us mnk apex players. I'm absolutely NOT asking for it back in that ridiculous state, but a dumbed down, balanced version. Just SOME way other than jump pads to gain some extra momentum in a momentum, based shooter.

I listened to that podcast where 2 devs talked specifically about prop boosting and how they saw it as an unexpected unintuitive mechanic that isn't predictable for new players. Somthing like that. I think that mentality is fundamentally wrong.

Imagine apex legends without tap strafing, or rocket league without flip resetting, wave dashing, or any of the other tens of unintended mechanics. These mechanics don't scare away new players, no, the EXACT OPOSITE. They give new players even more to learn and master

In multiplayer titles you don't have story to keep most players attention. All you have is improvement. A deep, rich and varied meta that includes movment, interesting weapons, gadgets and strategy is what keeps players engaged and coming back. Finals has the last 2, but severely lacks in the first one. The foundational way you move around your charecter has next to no depth to it. There's nothing to learn and implement in fights. Sure dash and jump pads exist but those are pretty straight forward and easy to learn.

[random juniper]

I really like the game finals but they really need to make the game 4v4 for cash out and other games

[sonic spoke]

Thank you for making a game that i can do this in :p

[covert ermine]

there should be a filter so you only join teams with vocie chat on.. :( since Ranked it now forced team play is more important that ever, and i have lost so many games because of no communications on random teams

[quick coyote]

Right

[earnest burrow]

no fr

[night dune]

On Vegas spawning like 150 meters from our vault that was in progress. so dumb

[jagged axle]

make it sothers no punishment for leaving ranked whgen your teammates leave

[junior sigil]

game didnt connect me to ranked match, i could not reconnect and after lik3 3rd reconnect attempt game said that i abandoned the match and gave me a 10 min matchmaking ban.... like i would like "reconnect" button to actually do something..

[noble rose]

how many more msgs until i can create vc

[thorn elbow]

BAN SYSHORIZON HOLY SHIT MAP

[solar cradle]

1000%...the way it is right now you spawn in sometimes and see the only possible way to win is a 180m trek that'll take 45 seconds ... almost half the entire objective time

[digital shoal]

Got my "Win one tournament." contract, but feel like it is an outlier and doesn't belong without unranked in the rotation.

[silver forge]

Kill cams please

[shy swan]

• ADD PLAY AGAIN WITH TEAM
• ADD WAY TO SEE GAME HISTORY WINS N LOSSES OR SOMETHING
• ADD WAY TO LOOK AT HOW FRIENDS LIST CHARACTER LOOKS
• LET SMOKE GRENADES COUNTER ALL FIRE DAMAGE FROM FLAMETHROWER
• LET STANDING ON ENEMY POWER SHIFT POINT STOP THE POINT COMPLEATLY AND JUST MAKE IT SO ITS POSSIBLE TO CLUTCH N NOT THIS LAME NO CLUTCHING JUMP ON THE POINT ON OVERTIME AND LOSE SHIT
  thoughts anyone?

[glad bridge]

I wish assists were also tracked in stats

[turbid gate]

Do the devs plan in class balancing in the future or no?

[normal locust]

Is teaming allowed? if not whats the penalty for them?

[covert ermine]

add a button to report lights as bad that will then ban them for playing that class for 1 hour.

[copper remnant]

i assume in private it doesn't matter but contact support idk

[long plume]

i mean people let teams through on purpose if they are worse than all the others. makes rank wins easy asf

[prime ore]

Yeah, that’s correct

[dapper plaza]

need that ranking balance ty

[hidden locust]

Completely agreed my main interest in the game was movement would love to see more especially if it feels fluid its more fun and a way you can express yourself keeps the game interesting and outplays feel amazing even getting killed by people with crazy movement can't even get mad i get impressed

[rich saddle]

Pls fix bag with crashing out or at least increase timeout time to be able to return

[lean birch]

BUGS
Fix the bug of not being able to use weapons,specializations and utilities, it happens very often when you spawn,you have to die and use coins to return to normal,its frustrating and makes you stop playing
Some white floors,after dematerializing or breaking,maintain their texture so that you can shoot or fall if you step on them,but you can't see through them
Ranked
Fix matchmaking system on ranked(higher ranks fall in matches with lower ranks,giving them privileged)
Show progress on ranked and be more transparent with the scoring you use
Anti cheat
Improve your anti cheat(We all know that in even big company games,cheaters are there,and it won't be any different in the finals)
Weapons and specialization
Nerfs weapons that don't need to aim,such as flamethrowers,grenade launchers,swords(in an FPS game these weapons need to have bigger bullet drop,smaller range,less bullet,longer reload time or smaller hit box,so that the player who has the skill of aim has a chance against those who don't,is it a competitive game or not?)
Increase a weapon's recoil or decrease damage isn't the only way to nerf it
L Invisibility could be slightly more visible(So that it becomes balanced by its speed,size and weapons with high cadence)
H Hand shield could be slightly nerfed(So that it makes sense how much life and the number of bullets your weapons have)
Toxic players
There are toxic players who disrupt the game(so that this doesn't happen frequently,the option to block players so that they don't join your team again)
Console
Enable mouse and keyboard on console(because you made the game crossplatform to have more players,so why not give them the opportunity to play against each other as equals?aim assistance is a joke)
Optimize the game for console,at least for the new generation(enable 120 fps and fix the crash and the drop performance problem)
PC
NVDIA DLSS isn't making any difference in the game
Number of players
Invest in marketing,streammers

[mint drum]

Please 120 fps on ps5, a lot of ppl of ps5 have packet lose because it isnt 120fps yet

[tawny oriole]

The more you get high in your rank the more sucks the matchmaking

[tight verge]

Exactly. It just needs to be balanced. The issue is this game just feels a bit stale because of the movment for me. The gunplay is good and gamemodes are great, but it's that last pillar that just doesn't feel great. Since movment is server-side it will always feel sluggish there's no way around it, but that sluggishness can be offset by movment tech like prop boosting. And now as the meta and ranked gameplay has settled in, I really don't think bringing prop boosting back would be detrimental to the game. In fact I think it would be nothing but positive. Returning/og players of all skill levels would be ecstatic, and new players might be intrigued by the flashy fun looking gameplay.

I just was scrolling X and saw this dude doing some insane looking pipeline launching tech in warzone. I was thinking "dang I kinda want to pop open warzone and try that it looks so cool" I haven't even THOUGHT about warzone for months but a movment tech made me want to play it again. Dame thing with seeing great players in rocket league. I'll spend 10 plus hours in practice grinding double taps or flip resets. It's because these techs are FUN.

Best of all, these movment techs aren't locked to a single class or input! ANYONE can use them equally. There is literally no downside in my opinion.

@lean birch lord please don't nerf flame thrower or sword. Sword is in a good place rn and flame thrower sucks. If your dying to those it's a skill issue. I agree with the grenade launcher though. Medium grenade launcher is way too strong and light has zero counter to it. Very lame and low skill.

[topaz token]

The ranked matchmaking is making me want to give up on this game. Gold, queuing with my gold friend, we get paired with a gold, and round one there are 5 diamonds. One full diamond team, a diamond on each other team, 3 plats, one other gold. It’s absolute BS and NEEEDS BE FIXED FOR THIS GAME TO HAVE A FUTURE

[woeful arch]

😤 Getting a bit tired of the game not having basic text channel. Ran a Cashout game where one teammate kept going to the other vault, leaving 2 of us to die when we could have capped had we been 3 on that point.

And then at respawn time you can't even use emotes to tell teammates to please focus. This is in a game that heavily depends on communication and not everyone wants to go in VC but most folks will pay attention to chat. It's a long overdue to have text chat now, please.

[eternal kayak]

Lights are invisible waaaay too long and invis bomb combed with cloak is getting toxic. I understand the 150hp but invisibility is becoming a crutch that makes it unfun to even constantly deal with. I’m not dying to them a lot but the constant fucking buzzing or third partying or randomly appearing is annoying to everyone. They fuck up the flow of the game and if you try to run from one they stay invis for so fucking long. It’s irritating as hell. Invis is equally as bad as recon senses was imo I’d rather not be seen than have the ability to see.

[thorn owl]

i am only getting sys horizon on ranked and please add a penalty or some solution for people who go afk mid game or just leave, im actually gonna end it all if i have to 2v3v3v3 every game

[hearty horizon]

I'm on controller with the directional equipping preset and I don't have an emote key binding. The only available button is the up arrow on the d-pad and it's bonded to "communication wheel and inspect (double tap)". Idek what the communication wheel is bc I can't even equip anything to it in my "expressions" tab.

[timber gulch]

fr the npcs in gme never have mics or ever join vc

[cerulean zephyr]

They should completely remove the light Invisibility specialization and replace it with the Cloaking Gadget.

If they want to go invisible, they'll have to pop the cloaking grenade which has a conspicuous audio and visual cue, which will give other players the heads up on the possible location on the invisible light player.

With this implementation, the light player will now have to be smart about when they can and can't go invis without borderline being annoying to play against.

[jaunty pawn]

When are we going to get a sorry on the chat wheel?

[copper remnant]

increase max vr count

[warm frost]

Couldn't match a rank for 10min gj!

[tame totem]

Is something wrong, why is there matchmaking issue and the game kind of lagging after you join a match

[frozen horizon]

hi my friend keeps getting Your message could not be delivered. This is usually because you don't share a server with the recipient or the recipient is only accepting direct messages from friends. error in every channel. he already did all the role selection and accepted terms, anyone know how to fix it?

[vale acorn]

I've been using the thermal vision with dash sword and it slays, but that is if you're a light player to begin with

[bleak coral]

Strong agree, just don't bring back that 0.15 sec jump delay hahaha

[robust moss]

yo

[lean birch]

Good comment my friend, I agree with you! I made a text based on findings in the game, knowledge from previous games and comments that I see in the feedback tab. In relation to flamethrowers, swords and grenade launchers, I believe it is an individual opinion. I really provided nerf options if it's what they want, not if I'm dying or something, but I maintain my thought that, in an FPS game, what should prevail is skill and not OP weapons.

[tawny oriole]

Why i get matched again with players that i blocked before. if i block someone that means i dont play with him again. I tell you already now, the finals is gonna dead soon, continue to work that way . If simple things doesnt work fine how do you want to be able to fix big stuff. Now i understand why Dice has fired you guys .

[woeful arch]

LMAO exactly
dead at "NPCs" 😂

[fervent vortex]

You can have crazy movement if you know what your doing, my buddies only play the game now after they watched me do bullshit with movement on Monaco

[stone hazel]

sniper removed from game for being anti fun when
it literally doesnt fit with the game at all it ruins every match it's in
either it's used super well and makes playing against that team impossible and unfun
or it's used terribly and youre without a teammate
theres just no reason for a sniper to be in a game like the finals it doesnt fit at all

[twin orchid]

Same here, i have blocked one cheater using aimbot and now playing again with him in the next game...

[lunar creek]

Add the ability to switch which season OST should play in the background from audio settings. Both seasons had great OSTs, it is just that when one gets stale the other one can be refreshing to listen to.

[amber fern]

Please add an option to disable TAA. The ghosting makes the game look worse, makes aiming harder, and gives people motion sickness.

[median nova]

also las vegas:

[timber gulch]

another great idea, also for future seasons they should make more loading music so like it chooses between 3 different music whenits matchmaking stuff like that

[frigid nexus]

Where are the Nama Tama plushies in real life? I want to buy some

[scenic magnet]

Why did I get a penalty for leaving my ranked when both teammates already left? 😦

[thorn elbow]

DAILY REMINDER TO REMOVE SYSHORIZON

[fast rover]

by removing L, you would remove a large amount of braindead teammates

[vernal hemlock]

The game crashes, after which it is impossible to return to the tournament, and I also get a temporary ban. and this happens almost always after a win. also, most of my teammates are completely unable to play (regardless of the league). is this a shadow ban or what?

[burnt idol]

when do we get a map that is completely based on moolah

[tight verge]

no that map is great better than vegas

[violet vigil]

Give us a melee-centric update. Dagger needs to be fixed, along with the other melees

[junior sigil]

why battlepass opens on the first page and not on the page that i currently unlock items on. it wasnt like this before, it was normal until some change at mid-late season 1

[violet basin]

Imagine a melee only gamemode

[hollow badger]

On london map

[keen quiver]

Maybe add Temp ban Quitting on Unranked? Like the idea?

[dusk pond]

Anyone else in NA keep getting disconnected from server mid tourney, reconnect halfway through game, then suspended?

[sturdy pawn]

1. Does anyone read the feedback?
2. Stun Gun removes all of your abilities, your ability to move properly, your ability to look around. How about we could aim down sight? :)))
3. If You solo Q, why do you end up in lobbies with grouped people from 2 divisions higher while getting 1 division lower (the only lower disivion players in the whole lobby), on your team TWICE?

Good game otherwise

[shut bane]

Give me ur opinion

#1223745974984380487 message

[warm frost]

Insane rank system, why is always the worst teamates had the highest rank? make no sense. How did they even get to gold plat and didn't even know how to use their ability, did 1000 dmg in whole game with 1/10 kda? wtf

[tawdry owl]

yeah lol ive been getting people who dont know how to ADS

[ruby silo]

the APS towers are just too OP in power shift. there needs to be a cooldown on placing them. and maybe max 1 of them at the time on the platform

[pearl star]

i think we should have a cap to how many operators can be used for example like each team is only allowed a maximum of 2 types per team, meaning then there cant be 3-5 lights or heavy's or mediums in cashout/power shift trying to play power plays with either cloaks or dome shield/barricade spams or aps/turret/ heal beam spam

just a fellow finalists opinion

[timber solstice]

Game is losing its fun for me. Too many mechanics feel unfair and unbalanced. Guns are just ok but there are clear winners and losers. maps are stale after playing them over and over. Not a ranked player but from what i hear its not even worth attempting. Had high hopes for 5v5 but it turned out to be a slog of who can turtle the point first with aps and turrets that make it impossible to cap. I want this game to work but idk man

[vocal rampart]

we’d love to get your feedback on auto-sprint, and what additional settings would help you

• Seems strange that there's no walk key bind.
• While using a delay of zero (I've not tested with over values):
• When in freecam (after squad wipe), you're stuck at walk flying speed.
• Holding forward before spawning causes you to walk (& not sprint).
• With scoped weapons, holding aim down sight while moving & reloading doesn't ADS upon reload completion.
• There's also a bug that causes you to stutter step when strafing and ADS, I don't know the exact steps to reproduce it yet though.

[clear crystal]

Remove the win a tournament mission as it's impossible for most people who can't even get into a ranked tournament game let alone win the entire thing

[fervent vortex]

Because ranked is easy and anyone can get top 500 with 0 effort, I don’t get how some people still think it’s a grind or takes skill

yea just give up. youll never be able to hang especially if youre struggling as a heavy main which is the strongest class. you are cooked lil bro

[woeful arch]

hard agree, it could really turn things around especially when you queue solo most of the time

[thorn elbow]

nah vegas is better somehow

[smoky gust]

I dont think its the loosing part, its about how loosing can just be straight up a toss of the dice

There is no skill involved with hard counters and there is little you can do when faced with one

Sure thats "just how the game works"
But like should it even be this way?

[vestal basin]

AFK bots, cheaters, wont fix.
This game is dieing, no matter how many skins were added , people just won't play the game

[restive crescent]

any chance adding steam trading cards? i would love to have a the finals steam badge

[rough sequoia]

it to me feels like light has very little counter play now especially cloak, cloak feels like it need more balancing tweaks (per say a decloak period where you cannot shoot)

[charred flax]

remove the weird aim assist from quick melee and melee weapons it feels terrible and throws u off completely

[keen lily]

hidden rank is absolutely the worst change since release so far, zero transparency

[vagrant raptor]

remove the tournament challenge and never do a challenge like it again.

challenges forcing us into certain game modes are annoying enough we don’t need ones forcing us into ranked.

[drowsy aspen]

Lmao they really made a challenge to force you into ranked? wow

[mint drum]

120 fps to ps5

[sturdy abyss]

I lose kills on the flame thrower due to people dying from "environment" damage. Yet it fire made by me on the floors and walls. Its rather frustrating to kill people and not be credited for it.

[violet basin]

It's not even just a daily, it's part of the circuit where you can't even reroll. Also you need to win and this makes it even harder to get it

[placid hazel]

DUDE FIX HELING BEAM AND DDEFIB IS SO BROKEN

[daring storm]

In the medium class description page it says it specializes in scanning. This is incorrect now, the medium has no way to scan anything.

[warm frost]

played 5 games in a row, 4games had afk 🙂 I had to played the best in whole game and bring my team to 3/4 round. Fair game. Fair! Nice matching system

[untold haven]

APS should take slight damage whenever it intercepts something barring goo because its too spammable
SR-84 should be projectile based and have increased headshot multiplier
Please give light any kind of survival utility
When you don't complete a grenade throw animation on death it should martyrdom it
It's extremely frustrating in the limited gear events to have to completely remake a contestant load out every time you want to swap an item
When pressing space while editing a load out in said events there's no indication that you're not allowed to hit space to revive unless you "go back"
When reporting a player please do not have binds active i do not want to join voice chat cuz i have to hit K
When reporting a player please do not boot me out of the screen because you are bringing me back to lobby

[wind flame]

Spawning on the other side on the map, or on a cashout that's 2 seconds off from finishing feels demoralizing. My initial thought on fixing this would be to impliment some sort of spawn choosing system, where you can ping which cashout / location to spawn near, while team-wiped and in free-cam mode. Still have it random and such, but just not more than 100 ish meters away from your ping.

[earnest kite]

we need a more casual gamemode that is nerw player firendly

a very similar gamemode to quick cash that can be newplayer friend could be the first person who gets to the cashout station automatically starts a cashout (instead of having to open the cashbopx then bring it to the cashout station it just starts as soon as you get to one) and there is only one cashout station on the map at a time so it isnt confusing

[prime ore]

Every “do that” challenge is forcing you to do something. That’s the purpose of a challenge

[subtle tree]

There is a counter to everything, git gud.

[glacial knot]

I dont think that those who developed the finals ther job is game developers, they can be everything only game developers not. In my team is someone he doesnt even has a rank. This the top of the top

[noble path]

the game is unplayable, it freezes every 3 seconds, tried changing graphics options and stuff but same thing, it started happening today

[vestal basin]

Even if you can play the game, cheaters or AFK teamates will make you quit

[hardy urchin]

What is with matchmaking on powershift? 15+ games and only one win. Doing everything I can to push the objective. I know I'm not the best player, but I do well in the other game modes and can pull out a decent couple of wins. I don't know what is wrong with powershift or with me playing it, but it just feels bad.

[trail mortar]

Suggestion:

Bring back Recon but rework so it only views Enemy Equipment through wall like a Danger Close type shit im tired of stepping on mines that do 140 bruh

[stray basalt]

It’s weird that it’s the opposite for me. I’ve won a lot more games in powershift than quick cash or tournament this season

[opal marsh]

Revives and respawn tokens are in the wrong spot in ranked. The numbers are swapped

[gentle ether]

increase punishment for leaving mid game in causal matches. It's annoying and makes the game unfun

[modern wedge]

capture the flag type gamemode, but different so it fits the finals cash/stealing theme

[lean birch]

Bro, if he dont have a rank will count the rank of the others 2 🤯

[bold flicker]

HACKERS EVERY FKIN GAME.im in a game with hacker right now,why cant i just post proof and get him insta banned?are the devs afraid of losing more than half the player base if they bann cheaters?

[tropic swift]

Fix the issue where sounds such as cloaking device and footsteps becomes very silent at times. There are times when it gets triggered when there are no gunshots or explosions that can overlapp the audio. This happens so frequently and it's affecting every single game. It's way worse than Apex.

[sturdy fjord]

Bring back reg tournaments, ranked is taking longer to load in then reg tournament. Avg time 5-15 min +. After that 10 min it loads you into a full diamond lobby. Loved this game but it’s losing its touch. Hopefully the devs do something about it soon than later.

[cedar mica]

Please consider hardware bans instead of account bans. Will rule out a lot of cheaters that can’t afford new parts or spoofers. 💪🏻

[drowsy aspen]

This would be so nice. Tbh it seems like they really dont care if people are cheating tho so i doubt they'll do this

[vocal ingot]

KBM SUPPORT FOR CONSOLE PLEASE!! The game is unbalanced on crossplay. Don’t have a pc so my only options is controller

[vagrant raptor]

how to ruin the game in one easy step. turn off cross play, the game is much better with it off. play the game on a pc if you want m&k.

[smoky gust]

@subtle tree
Funny that
How do you know what to bring when you dont know what you need to counter?

Just gamble better 👍

[crude brook]

why is it never "play the game on console if you want controller"
its either input based matchmaking or mnk on pc and controller on console

Really had to lose every game with the best stats among everyone 🙂 Cmon, give me some human, not animals

Title: Covert Operations

Game Objective:
In Covert Operations, the props (players disguised as objects) must complete specific tasks within a limited time frame while avoiding detection by the hunters.

Gameplay Mechanics

Objectives:
Each round presents the prop team with randomized objectives such as hacking terminals, stealing documents, or planting bombs.

Teams:
The two playable teams will be: Props and Hunters.
Props disguise themselves as objects, while Hunters aim to locate and eliminate them.

Prop Abilities:
Props have abilities like temporary invisibility or distraction devices, along with taunts alike.
These help in completing objectives and evading hunters.

Hunter Mechanics:
Hunters use gadgets like motion sensors or heat vision goggles to locate props.
They balance thorough searching with time management.

Environment Interaction:
Props hide among objects and trigger distractions, while hunters manipulate the environment to flush them out.

Progression and Rewards:
Players earn XP and rewards for completing objectives or eliminating props or evaiding hunters

Round Dynamics:
Time-limited rounds require props to complete objectives before time runs out or they are eliminated.
Players switch roles each round.

Strategic Depth:
Coordinated teamwork is vital for both props and hunters to succeed.
Strategic gameplay and communication are key.

Customization:
Randomized round duration, objectives, and gadgets will provide a unique personalized experience.
With these mechanics, Covert Operations enhances the traditional Prop Hunt gameplay, offering a strategic and immersive covert mission experience.

Essentially a glorified prophunt.

[versed cloud]

Do I have to win a tournament to rank up?

[glacial knot]

Ban light class from ranked thoese braindead they doesnt understand that they have no chance against, 2 havies with shield and one healer. Light class doesnt resist bullet they die very fast, they have no gadget that support team and always cloak and push solo. @pearl kiln one day you re gonna lose so much players like COD , and then you will listen to your community like COD did, instead fix important stuff, you are focusing add and remove maps and nerf and improve weapons, continue that way, but the day will come where I will laugh at you

[subtle tree]

Literally this. Many builds are more common than others. Make your best guess.

[rough sequoia]

add aim punch to the light sniper

[drowsy aspen]

Idk how a game can have this many cheaters and its not literally the only thing being talked about

[fast rover]

ban L in general. game is gonna be dead soon. braindead cloak stun gun crutch players

[ivory badger]

We need to be able to mute specific players. I don't want to mute all of my team when only one teammate is annoying

[dawn aspen]

Anti cheat integrity check false positives have re-emerged as a big issue. I see @wintry trout has been raising repeatedly. Has anyone got a fix or common known conflicts with the game? It’s killing my buzz getting booted from fun ranked games.

[wintry trout]

I get booted like 5 times a day and I still have not received any meaningful feedback from the CMs and haven't found any likely causes or solutions from other people either

More common
Just guess

Mate, thats still random

[jovial sonnet]

bring back unranked. Because of the challenge, tons of casual players are flooding into the super competitive gamemode. And yes, a lot of them arent the best. Ive nothing against casuals who just want to have fun, but they shouldnt be playing ranked for that reason, and theyre being forced to play ranked if they want the circuit. Ranked is for the super sweaty tryhards (me) and its being ruined because of the unranked removal. Also, ive been seeing so many more hackers in ranked now since the change.

[loud mist]

Love the game.

Really hate the team colors. It's often hard to differentiate between the pink and peach colors when your in a multiteam fight. You should either change the enemy colors to Purple, Red & Orange, or allow us to customize opponent colors.

Also, hope there is better Private Match functionality coming soon. Really need to be able to set up a lobby and let the lobby host configure the settings from the lobby and let players choose/swap teams in the private lobby. Rocket League does a pretty good job with Private Lobbies, so that is a good model to follow.

[velvet hearth]

Please make it so people can leave without punishment when your matchmaking fails to find a 3rd person for ranked. It's really stupid that you're expected to play the match a person down.

bring back unranked tournament and replace ranked tournament with a competitive ranked 3v3.

this will make balancing a million times easier for ranked and lead to less bullshit rng and frustration for the people who are most affected by it (serious competitive players)

this will also bring queue times for competitive down to like 2 seconds

also, you could have some cool reward tied to tournaments to incentivize playing them. maybe once a week you could get 50 multibucks by winning a tournament

[quick coyote]

because you're being chased and most often, you'll be looking down which makes you go down??

if a teammate is afk and gets kicked in ranked game then let me quit the game too with no penalty, theres no point in playing anyway

[smoky gust]

Whats the issue with loosing to factors outside of your controle?
Whats the issue with being forced to waste your time, because a hard counter just happens to exist that match?
Whats the issue with throwing skill out the window in favour of letting some guy who rolled a 20 win?

It should be common sense where the issue lies here

[versed cloud]

Do I have to win a tournament to rank up?

Day 42 of asking for a sensitivity adjustment while holding mesh shield.

[rough vessel]

the KS shouldn't be able to fucking 1 shot + quick melee a medium lol

[long belfry]

Cheating in high ranks is absolutely out of control right now. People are starting to just counter hack each other. One looser starts and suddenly multiple teams are beaming each other across the map. If those cheats are this easily available right now to everyone, how the fuck are they not yet blacklisted by the anti cheat?

[lofty nova]

Yo I have kind of a bizarre request of the devs - stop me if it's a little cuckoo - but would it be too much to ask for a fix to the amount of lag in this game? I don't experience it in literally any other game, I know my internet is beyond solid, yet I still seem to be running in honey when I play The Finals and the odds I actually hit a guy depend almost entirely on whatever servers at the bottom of the Mariana Trench this game depends on decide to work at any given moment, the game is really fun but it would be more fun if it were playable for more than a couple minutes without motion sickness glasses.

This really makes me wonder what it's like in ranked modes, how do those guys deal?

[mossy shore]

BRING BACK REGULAR TOURNAMENTS PLS

[quick coyote]

Pls do mouse support for console

[real pollen]

Nerf light cloak pls. You shouldn't be able to invis on command. Make it more visble when running and completely invis when not moving

[stray basalt]

That’s how is currently is. So I guess they just have make it more visible while running

[sudden spire]

I wanna see my Ping

[odd pond]

IMO, visibility isn't really the issue. I think that currently the audio for running (and a few other actions) isn't prominent enough. I've never been stun-killed by a light from ahead of me, only from the side or behind where they were out of my fov.

[keen lily]

dude I think they actually changed that. I had many games in a row where I won first round, being plat 3 atm and I didn't rank up. It all feels like a waste of time now when it comes to solo queueing

[tall rampart]

i keep getting in a match with diamond as a gold 4

[versed cloud]

Bro I have been playing for hours winning many matches but since I don't win the tourny I haven't ranked up like what the fuck

[wheat tide]

Please optimize finals better for lower end PCs because it gets REALLY bad sometimes (only game I actually have trouble getting to run well)

[foggy orbit]

yes it should if it is a slow projectile and a headshot
Edit: @rough vessel Slow enough to lead shots a fair amount at mid range, with also an arcing projectile. I would love the KS-23 to have more skill expression rather than being an inferior SR-74 and SA1216

[rough vessel]

how slow do you want it to be??

[sick pier]

100%, every other game I can run easy 180+ FPS but the finals can get as as low as 50 and avg like 70 FPS for me. And that’s on full low settings. That’s my main gripe with the game, it’s poorly optimized

[light crater]

Please tell me how my game has crashed twice while playing ranked and it counts as a banned everytime...no option to reconnect. Then when my teammate leaves a ranked match and I leave it counts as a penalty even though it never used to.

Please please fix the goo gun being able to get you stuck, it ruins the skill aspect of the game and also just kills the fun. There’s 0 counter to it and it’s stupid with the heavy having very close ranged weapons.

[orchid abyss]

any news about nerfing / reworking light build?

[rain needle]

1. Since I've been back playing I noticed that you guys made it easier as some point to pick up gadgets that are placed (for example Heavy's Barricade). This is nice in thought, but in reality has made it really difficult in certain situations. As a controller player who has used the Barricades very often (max level), I often times place one down and then hit Y/Triangle in order to pull out my gun. Since the new update I no longer can do this because it wants me to only pick up the barricade and I can't actually pull out my gun next to it. I have to physically turn 180 degrees or back away to use it which is so inconvenient and not conducive to a fast paced gun fight, I just wish there was a way to fix this without having to manually change my keybinds to interact with a dpad button or something.

2. Was reload cancelling using Y/Triangle taken out of the game intentionally, or even mistakenly as a bug? Its just not possible anymore and its super disappointing as it is crucial for gunfights in fps games like yours.

[keen beacon]

nerf triple medium

[sonic spoke]

[sinful gazelle]

Hi there, I have some feedback on the rank system so far. As of 3/29/2024, I have played some ranked matches, but there are still some issues. Firstly, matches are either filled with one good team (diamond) and three bad teams (gold/silver) or with three good teams and one bad team, which leads to poor matchmaking and the ranking system feeling similar to season 1 again, albeit slightly improved. I suggest adding two more ranks to help balance the matchmaking: one between platinum and diamond, and another for the top 500 players, as a tier above diamond to reward truly skilled players. Additionally, implementing rank restrictions is crucial. A bronze player and a diamond player shouldn't be able to queue together, even if the bronze player is entering a 'diamond-level' match. Having no rank restrictions significantly lowers the overall match quality.

For instance, if you're a diamond player, you should only be able to queue with platinum players. Alternatively, let's say you're a Diamond 1; you should only be able to queue with players within three sub-ranks below you, meaning only Diamond 4. It feels like sub-ranks, such as from diamond 4 to 1, don't matter at all. In other games, like CSGO or VALORANT, it actually matters. It feels like matchmaking is just going by the rank alone and not considering the "sub-rank" of that rank too, essentially limiting you to queuing with players one rank above and below yours until new ranks are introduced in the game.

Regarding the current state of ranks, they shouldn't be visible in matches until matchmaking is fair. The reason for this is that in matches where there is one good team and three lower-ranked teams, it usually plays out in a way where the lower-ranked teams either avoid the higher-ranked team or team up to try to knock them out, and I'm sure there's no fun in that. As of the last patch, you guys have actually doubled down on it, which I don't understand at all. I do appreciate your explanation as to why.

Part1

[pseudo latch]

Halving backstab time would basically leave no actual warning for that stab, making it super spammable which defeats the purpose of it being high risk, high reward.

SH's damage was reduced by 2 so it stopped two shotting heavies, That kind of damage becomes no less busted at a lower fire rate, leaving the entire cast half a second to react before dying is already dumb when it still works on mediums and weaker, it does not need to two shot heavy at 10 meters again.

Riot shield Silencing people just for getting that close would feel so awful to play against so quickly.

MGL would benefit better from detonating on impact with enemy targets over a detonation trigger, especially since it will only lead to you blowing up grenades in your face more often than actually being useful

Giving KS23 40 more damage per shot and a headshot multiplier would make it fuckin busted, and lowering its projectile speed would make it feel terrible to use again. Plus minding your own business and then suddenly taking triple digit damage from someone you cant even see is plenty annoying when light does it.

Glitch traps do not need to glitch whole rooms

[sullen crane]

I'd love it if heavy actual got a meaningful buff, the constant onslaught of nerfs just because the most vocal players are face checking at close quarters is insane. I can agree some things were for sure needed but the constant nerf after nerf and then to top it off a gimmick weapon. The KS23 is just bad now even after its "Buff" Heres the thing, fire rate and spread is great but when im having to fucking go back to playing hunt showdown and lead my shots to land a farther shot that just tickles an enemy while they just beam me with the fcar/ak/famas/lh1 literally any other gun that isnt on heavy it just sucks. Honestly I prefered it pre "buff" cause at least I could land that far shot smack em in the nuts to get them to back off and think about what to do. Oh but yeah its a shotgun its not good at range, you'd be right in almost any other regard considering this is the only GUN with projectile it should absolutely chunk if I manage to land that shot specially with how fast everyone moves.

Not to mention that the c4 nerf was uncalled for the latest one anyways so now what? We get one? A single c4 that might I add deals LESS DAMAGE THEN THE LIGHTS BREACHING CHARGE!? where's that things nerf? Nah you can't nerf it dont wanna piss off the majority playerbase now. Literally I've had to stop playing heavy in solo que because its just painful, unless the enemy are just stupid and constantly getting withing a 3 meter radius of me its a slog. The m60 and lewis gun are barely passable but don't hold a candle to any other ranged option, shotgun was op in beta, okay on launch, and now just feels mid as fuck unless again some dumb light tries to face check me. The sledge and flamethrower NEED a pocket medium or you'll just get gunned down while they back peddle even with charge they will still deal enough damage for you to either barely scrape by with a kill only to be finished off by a team mate or get killed entirely. The grenade launcher is a gimmick. Give heavy some kind of substance. They went from a close range menace to just something to get domed right off spawn. I'd love some kind of weapon buffs, or my fucking two c4 back SOMETHING. Anything.

[swift laurel]

players that repeatedly grief / sabotage their own team deserve a ban equal to cheating

[quick coyote]

one light clears. if you dont see how hard light counters medium right now then take another look

[upper citrus]

heavy can get a buff once lewis, rpg, and dome are put in their place. the class still gets way too much value for doing nothing and turning brain off. lewis has no meaningful downsides and the recoil nerf didn’t affect plat+ lobbies at all. should be reverted and given a fire rate nerf. rpg should be 80 damage with no spread and no fall off, and dome should last indefinitely until another is thrown and get 50 more hp at the expense of a 3s startup time once it hits the ground.

[foggy orbit]

I think you're wrong about everything, like comically wrong, you don't play much and it shows, especially your take with the dagger, absolutely ass take, oh god I actually watched your gameplay from twitch and now it explains a lot of your crappy takes, damn.

Edit: @lunar vault

I never said make the backstab hitbox bigger, I want it to be reworked so stabs from behind are more consistent. Reducing the time from 700ms -> 300ms is how long it lasted in open beta, and nobody complained about dagger in open beta. Closed beta dagger was overpowered, and I don't want the dagger to be something you can just slide past people easily and get a kill, I still want there to be a high skill ceiling, just make it so that when you do the right plays, you're rewarded, and not constantly worrying about every backstab failing. Look at #1213572237941284864 and watch some clips, a lot of us dagger mains invest a lot of time and we know this weapon inside out.

Edit 2: @pseudo latch
You don't earn ad rev, nor did I watch an ad to watch your ass gameplay and bitching about lights when you missed your shots.

About the dagger, what are you so scared of? You realise all you have to do is spot a dagger user and you've pretty much eliminated their chances of them backstabbing you, reducing the delay only serves to make it less of a nightmare to stab from behind, you haven't used the dagger at all, so speaking as if you know how things will turn out is pretty delusional of you. And you rarely "fuck up a stab" the reason a stab gets fucked up is because of the melee lock and lunge, but you don't know that because you don't play dagger, and if you haven't got the awareness to hear someone trying to stab you from behind, that's on you.

[versed cloud]

Why did you have to change the rank progression I feel like I am stuck in literal hell

[shrewd dirge]

Some things to consider: Ranked is not better than season one. Spawns are worse somehow. This game has now become a third party simulator where whoever spawns on an ongoing fight has the advantage. I seem to queue more with players that are diamond than people who are my rank. Spawning on the complete opposite side of a cashout you started is dumb. Cheaters are a blatant issue and still nothing has been done about it. Queue times are longer yet there's no added benefit to the overall quality of the lobbies you play against. Solo queue is still abysmal. Server-side physics issues still persist where something doesn't register on the client-end, but happens on the server. Some shots don't register on open targets, some shots register from behind cover. Weapon balancing has been a joke to say the least and the fact that the meta hasn't shifted since OB is actually ridiculous. A lot of the patches that have been released have been far too focused on nerfing the only viable weapons in the game instead of buffing others. WEAPONS/GADGETS/EQUIPMENT THAT ARE USED LESS NEED A BUFF INSTEAD OF BARELY NERFING THE WEAPONS THAT ARE BALANCED. Whether you'd like to hear it or not, some classes are inherently just better than others. Heavy is by far both the easiest class to play and the hardest to kill in a ranked environment. IMO, with the way the game presents itself, every class > setup > weapon > util should be viable, but that's not the case. Some weapons are literally just unplayable which makes no sense for a game that lacks depth in options. I constantly play with people who experience crashing issues that did not experience them (nowhere near as frequently) as the OB or S1. I thoroughly enjoy this game, but I really don't have high hopes of it being "the next big thing" with all of its underlying issues, which is surprising because this game is coming from a team of developers who were pioneers in the FPS genre and who have years of experience dealing with stuff like this.

[odd pond]

This ^

[gentle ether]

Make rank progression visible.

[lunar vault]

Not fan of the speed up either, the hold alone is enough to let you time your backstab better just like in the OB, The wind up like they said is there to stop it from being spamable, You're supposed to be an assassin and pick people off not 1v3 a whole team dashing around instant killing everyone

Idk about making the hitbox bigger either it just needs to be more consistent as sometimes i stab them right in the back and get nothing, but stab some ppl in the front and they die

[quartz condor]

Superglide or wallbounce from apex would be awesome lol

[drowsy aspen]

They seriously need to fix how OP invis is on low end PCs. I just watched my friend play on his computer for the first time (low settings) and comparing it to my PC you basically couldnt see anything

and the amount of people using aim assist on PC is absurd

Grow up man, or go play something else. That's the nature of every game, and the nature of life. Sometimes you just get stepped on by the better man. Get over it.

[pseudo latch]

I gotta say, I think we've nerfed enough things. We keep cutting here and there and suddenly everyones gonna feel like shit to play. Lets buff some shit thats not performing well instead to create counters to these problems.

@foggy orbit Well thats nice, I think the guy saying KS23 shouldnt be able to BXR mediums is right. Every other change you desire is completely overtuned. KS23 is already performing really well after its recent buff, so lets let that one sit for a bit.

Shit dude, I strike a nerve? a move capable of doing 320 damage shouldnt be able to get thrown out twice, even thrice a second, thats insane. Let em hold it thats fair, but being able to spam it would take a lot of actual skill out and become a game of "im gonna run circles around you till you die lmao". Thanks for the adrev by the way Lmao.

Dagger needs something, but letting it do crippling damage twice as often as it does isnt it. allowing them to hold it is fine, increasing the hitreg and even the actual "kill" angle wouldnt be bad either (pretty sure TF2 registers anything within 180° of the enemy's back, and finals is only like, 90°) but doubling the frequency of backstabs means if you fuck up a stab, you just try again with significantly less of a window to be punished in.

also no one complained about OB dagger because during the week OB dagger existed, V9S was taking light loadouts by storm as a 24-round auto-sniper.

Damn bro, get over yourself. That ego will be the end of you one day. I disagreed with you, i didnt murder your fuckin dog, lay off.

[urban jackal]

I was thinking about this when playing earlier, comparing dagger to tf2 is odd. I do think a larger back hitbox and some better hitreg would be good for the dagger. But the thing about tf2 is most fights are directional for long periods of time, whereas the finals is a faster game and people naturally turn around more. it puts dagger in a more difficult spot compared to tf2. idk just yapping

[nocturne flare]

Anti cheat integrity check false positives are a crazy issue I still haven't figured out (IT of 7yrs) and they make playing consistent games impossible. Other people still haven't figured the issue out and I've gone as far as registry edits to try and fix the issue to no resolve. Also the ambiguous error doesn't give any help on how to fix it. It's an issue every other game and I've sacrificed too many programs with no fix

[boreal sentinel]

That will take more loading time ya know

[near snow]

do something about all the cheaters, even giving a notification that someone we reported has been dealt with. do something or let your game die, id wager 15% of the people playing are cheaters, and the only reason they dont do something is because they want those 15% of people to keep playing

[foggy orbit]

700ms is simply to slow to be able to charge up a stab, it makes it so you already have to be in position, or they'll have enough time to hear you coming, in open beta, it was around 300ms to charge before you could backstab. I know how to play dagger, I grinded to Diamond 4 soloq and have played against top 10/100 players. I don't want it to be a weapon where you can just easily run up to people in their face and stab, but at the moment, the window to stab is so incredibly narrow even if you have the right positioning. So a shorter charge up time, as well as freedom to hold the stab would be perfect. And remember it's a damn melee weapon, aware enemies with the current dagger give you almost no way of killing them, at least with a faster charge up time, you have more room to stab an aware enemy if you set it up right.

Edit 1: @lunar vault
I can't speak for dash, I use cloak, and I will say moving even a little bit within their range they will hear you, so timings are very unforgiving.

[shut bane]

Improve Aim assist

[upper citrus]

heavy arsenal is generally pretty balanced besides those 3 items. the main issue with heavy is that it just doesn’t have much stuff. especially since it got another gimmick weapon. there isn’t much generalist stuff to pick from on heavy. but i would not mind a buff to barricades (placeable on walls) and a hipfire buff to the m60 in return for the nerfs i suggested. also, APS should really be on heavy? i have no idea why it isn’t tbh

[versed cloud]

Let us see our ranked progression

[minor blaze]

Theres a mission for winning a tournament but the ranked system is way too hard now, Sesion 1 ranked was better!!!!

[pseudo latch]

APS should also probably have a limit on how much shit it can eat at one time, its a little too good at it. Otherwise I agree somewhat. I dont personally think any of those tools save RPG to an extent are in any way overperforming, especially after theyve all seen changes to bring them back down to earth (while medium more or less feasts but thats another argument) but for all the things heavy has lost, he's gotten very little for all he's lost, when he already had the least openly viable roster. I'd personally love to finally get some give for all theyve been taking, KS23 buffs being a very good start.

[torpid sky]

how ffs am i not allowed to mute my teammate who isn't premade with me? bro had his mic on the entire game and wasn't even using it to help he was just talking with ppl beside him in the room

[lunar vault]

Being able to hold helps with that though as you would typically charge and hold before/as you dive, dash + release to kill someone then get out, Obvs its been a long time so i dont fully remember but didnt we need to charge to get a backstab? Where as now you press and it just goes off, before we actually had to hold to even get a stab right?

Agree on stab angle though, it feels super rough a lot of the time, Id really like if they just added the hold for a few seconds just to see how it goes, then if its still not good enough buff it up more, smaller stuff over basically overhauling the weapon

[rough vessel]

or they can just remove it

[feral shell]

Really need an optional push to talk keybind on controller 🙏

lol @ removing aim assist. Must be a MnK shitter

[bold mango]

There needs to be a class limit in ranked or something, just don't let my team pick 2 lights unless you're gonna rework the class

[eternal kayak]

If we inevitably will be matched against higher elo can we get more FP when we progress. I’m silver 1 and literally got matched with the number 1 player Gigz. I feel I should get extra points for even making it to the second round.

[sinful gazelle]

On to balancing now. I know the dev teams are trying their best at balancing, but I feel like just nerfing things over and over again and eventually removing them is the wrong way to do it. Rather than nerfing and eventually removing them, why not add counterplay to them? Take the example of the "nuke". I was fine with the nerfs so far in season 1, but in season 2, you guys decided to completely make the nuke useless. There were so many ways you could approach it, either make other gadgets able to counter it better, or make the nukes themselves more risk-reward. Instead, you opted to over-nerf it to the ground. You guys do say that you go off by data for balancing, but it feels like it's more about listening to the wrong side of the community, aka the whiners, and not the competitive and passionate casuals. Some reason of yours of "removing" stuff is so you can work it out later on. I would much rather you guys keep it in the game and still actively balancing it out rather than the lazy way of removing it now and fixing it later. Afterall, removing it does change the game and meta, which changes isn't bad once in a while but I feel like having it in and changing it through time is a much better and healthier way.

pt2 thats all

[knotty lagoon]

i just want to shoot my gun while i wait in a party of 2

[still yoke]

Buff revolver make it more accurate and give it more damage

[tawdry adder]

Losing rank when you lose a game in the finals? Actually braindead if that's the new system

[odd tundra]

Please nerf the stun gun range to half. Its fine just insane how I can be shot 12 meters away

[grave drift]

Don't understand why I can't 1v1 yet. The fuck was the reasoning to adding a private mode, and making it people minimum.

[manic compass]

Based on my understanding, Embark runs all the destruction server side, which ends up very expensive. Enabling a bunch of servers that are 1v1s would cost a lot of money they wouldn't be able to easily make back.

[daring fossil]

so weapon level 6 still requires 162,000xp (about 40+ hours of grinding) but level 7 only requires 144,000?

[wise vault]

Hello, I would like to give your opinion regarding the mission "Win 1 tournament" on the monthly circuit. We players who play on the South American server have difficulty completing this mission, as we do not have enough ranked tournament queues to play properly and for a long time. When we play on different servers, like in North America, we have a huge problem with latency, which takes away all the shine when playing and it becomes impossible to do this type of mission in a ranked match. I ask that you please evaluate this type of mission mentioned so that all players can do it without problems 😢. Perhaps it would be interesting to have a mission exchange scheme when paid with in-game money and thus be able to exchange the present missions.

[cloud roost]

So we made it one vault into a tournament and both my teammates left the match. Am I just supposed to sit in a corner to avoid the penalty for leaving the match or????

[daring fossil]

pretty much yeah, I go full rat mode and just try to get as many kills as I can and try to screw up steals

[long oxide]

fix bug where cant shoot after somethign

[still ruin]

there needs to be a catch all crashes reconnect option, it seems that it just focuses on certain crashes or crashes that the game detects, but everytime the client dc's from the server when the game restarts there should be a reconnect option. currently im on a 2hr long comp ban because for some reason i can never reconnect. i feel like crashes are innevitable, but a half baked rejoin system is kinda jank

please fix 🙏

[grave drift]

That's very understandable, seems like a thing a company has to eat for the benefit of there players.

Since yah know we the reason they
have money in the first place.

Corporate greed is crazy though. Why would they add something that cost them money.

[subtle tree]

"Whats the issue with loosing to factors outside of your controle?"

Really? Just.... Really? Every single time you lose, it is to factors outside of your control. Literally. Your opponent played better than you, "controlled the game" so to speak, and won. You know what you do have control over? The tools and strategies you choose to bring into the game. If you're losing often enough that it feels unfair, you clearly need to make some changes. This game is not that difficult.

When playing a ranked tournament and both your teamates leave. You get to suffer the next 10 mins of playing by yourself or lose xp/rank/ being suspended from matchmaking. There should be 0 penalty if 1 of your teammates leave. Or add a vote to forfeit...

Quick Cash should be the first gamemode in the list in the Quickplay section.

Make it so that when you win in the finals you still lose rank so that way you're unable to climb in diamond #patch2.3

Ranked system is completely broken, how did I get a congrats I am the same rank I already was before I started the match? Like what?

[quick coyote]

I agree, it used to be that way anyway. 4 teams is literally the worst thing in this game imo, way too many players.

Turn the audio of events down, events with noise such as alien invasion cause so much unnecessary sound it’s impossible to hear anything around you, it’s almost impossible to even hear voice chats with it.

Add more ranks to the game, as well as a ranked split. getting to Diamond feels like nothing because eventually everyone will be there, and with 71 days still left in this season, it’s not hard to get Diamond with that amount of time.

Just responding so I can create a server

Please increase amount of cash you get for eliminations in ranked. This thing will make the game less focused on complicated objectives. Also it should attract new players. Cheaters are still a huge problem, there is too much visual noise on screen, matchmaking is bad so that you really don't want to play ranked with randoms.

Brother, I'm not high enough rank is this server to send pics, but I'm 47min into a ranked tournament queue right now. I can guarantee you I'm not going to get to diamond in 71 days, even if I were to win every single match I could actually find (if I ever find one).
