bro well said, we suffer with this shit tbh

[quick coyote]

Two things with Ranked:
Matchmaking is horrible
Why can't i see my progression after matches??

[burnt notch]

*Most Polite Canadian:

[vestal coral]

but then is it normal that it takes 3 minutes or more to find a ranked one?

[safe inlet]

Asking once again for a chill VS AI playlist or a dedicated PvE mode with progression because I'm just so tired of the matchmaking putting me with the worst teammates imaginable while putting me against the most elite of enemies. I'm just...So tired. I want to enjoy the game but not like this.

[modern wedge]

please embark
atp light gadgets are boring and unfun to play as as well as play against

[restive ruin]

All great ideas! Hopefully embark is looking at these chats 👀 Something needs to change in the current rank mode

[fervent yew]

the spawns are complete a** sometimes you spawn 200m away from a cashout and when you get there you have 10 sek left and othertimes you spawn 50m away and have all the time in the world.matchmacking is completely fucked i play trio with 2 friends one is plat 3 the other one bronze 4 and im gold 3 and we get full diamond enemy lobbys

[vagrant raptor]

add a half second cooldown between jumps and crouches to prevent spamming to dodge bullets

[zenith silo]

please region lock china

[tropic swift]

I think this change would remove the thrill of the game. Stealing in seconds before timeout is one if my favorite memories of this game.

[halcyon orchid]

LOCK CHINA AND ONE GOOD ANTICHEAT PLS FCK STUPIDS CHEATERS AND NERF MEDIUM CLASS

[winged pumice]

Why i don t ser my progress after ranked 😭😭😭

[slender oasis]

Fix the dam riot shield to block ALL damage sources, even if it is just a % of that damage. It doesn't block hammer, sword, or dagger, which leaves riot shield users at a HUGE disadvantage.

[vestal coral]

nerf the light is a no-skill class, too friendly for beginners. It's too annoying to see all these people using lightweight players. There are some games where there are more than 6 lights. And remove this turret crap from the middle. You should do some cleaning for wrong things in this game, there is too much garbage for noobs and toxic players.

[quick coyote]

Hot garbage take

[half iris]

since the changes anyone think its just lights and heavies with flames being abused all the time every game barely any mediums left - its ruined the game for me, every feat, frought by a light invisi waiting, or a flamer goo'ing me and then flaming me, nothing can be done - its boring for me to play these over powered skilless classes/weapons

[silk idol]

Can you get trophies in private match?

[tiny lava]

the game is cooked bro

[indigo grail]

I don't think so

[dawn mountain]

how do i redeem my skill issues code?

[clear depot]

I'm having a purchase problem. After purchasing an item, every time i go to my Xbox menu it says "Processing" and it disconnects my controller

[hasty cliff]

head over to the embark portal in #1224800641088487485

[gritty pebble]

Win one tournament contract is lame. I don't enjoy ranked but I'm forced to play it if I want to complete the career stage? Not fun.

[white elbow]

literally hit ur shots as a medium and lights evaporate also if heavy is goo'ing u then why arent u or your teammates shooting them? that means they have no mesh and cant shoot back

[balmy compass]

APS I agree with because it's a gadget and imo it's way dumber. That nerf would hit turret very hard though and it's a specialization that is already bad

[edgy lotus]

what determines ties? because the leaderboard said we were second (quick cash) but then when the game ended we were third??? i'm feeling far more upset about this than I realistically should be but pleaseeeeee'

[median dawn]

Maybe let us Swap Gadgets in ranked so you can adapt for certain enemy Team comps.

[rugged temple]

An option to disable melee aim assist

[halcyon orchid]

vais a llevar el juego al mismo camino que cod o mismamente bf2042 igualito hacer las cosas bien que no es tan dificil pienso yo lo del progreso me gustaria una explicacion la verdad por que es ridiculo que no pierda partidas y me saquen de diamante increible lo vuestro y lo de los cheats ya mejor ni hablar.....un saludo y espero que arregleis todo lo que se tiene que arreglar que poco no es la verdad

[sudden geyser]

Those become much more difficult to pull off in ranked where you 100% want some balanced utility in the team. But yes for quick cash lights get to run rampant and turrets are easy KD boosters due to the chaos

[modern wedge]

turrets should slow down the platform

[vestal coral]

what do you mean ?

[half iris]

The lights are waiting invis at cashout, rattled full clip - usualy team mates are dead or trying to find a good position to snipe or theyre away hammering the other cash out, its insane but thats a question only they can answer - unfortuately i solo que 😦 any why cant a medium out sprint a heavy with a flamer lol? these players enjoy it when they make other players disconnect, so your empowering them with the ability to lower numbers and succesful game rates. Its classed as a fast pace shooter but half the stuff isnt guns lol. Swords shields throwing knives rockets - meanwhile medium has a famas or a shielf to counter OP, its not to play a shield - game starts with fun, the inbalance means no fun is had, only complaints. Stupid move

[analog flame]

Guys, hi, I connected the embark ID and Steam, and this reset my account,

[orchid falcon]

[bitter tangle]

DAY 19 OF ASKING FOR A GRAPHICAL PERFORMANCE MODE!!

Can WE make this happen??

[ivory isle]

Genuine skill issue, it just takes time and multiple tries till you find synergy

[white elbow]

I solo q almost always as well and im in the middle of plat 1 right now as a medium. You actually can outrun a heavy who has a flame you just have to get out of his range asap with a slide and then keep running. Very little of what your talking about is actually met in ranked. Even with the famas or fcar you can get a light to 25 or kill them outright while tazed, let alone if you actually have the ability to ADS. Sure your occasionally gonna get picked off by a light eventually but often times if you focus down the light yourself they are a non-issue because of how little hp they have. Entirely by yourself you can significantly debuff the light by paying attention for them. Also in higher ranks its usually the entire diamond 3 stack hammering the other cashout while everyone is afraid to push their color xD

[flat solstice]

Can it be possible that the mannequin appearance used for cosmetic icons be its own cosmetic item set? 🙂

[versed cloud]

No it's a hamster wheel issue. Not everyone wants to do that part of the game, which I totally understand. Some of these people don't touch ranked. (hard to believe I know) And as someone who exclusively plays ranked, I can see why forcing this game mode on them sucks. Especially if you are on a losing streak.

[quick coyote]

best idea I've heard in weeks

[vast quail]

agreed

[quaint forge]

Lmao true

[versed bridge]

It's especially bad if you're in a region where ranked literally never queues and you have to play on 300 ping to even attempt to finish the quest

[tranquil yoke]

this game has so many bugs . every other game i play i get stuck in the loading screen and it is messing up my rank score. i really want to stop playing

[gritty pebble]

It's not a skill issue. It's being teamed up with people who don't play well or leave the game early. On top of that being in bronze rank but put in games with teams of all gold players. Why would I want to play one losing game after another when I could play quick cash and have a much better time.

[lyric pike]

ever since this season started i have been getting consistent no-regs. never got them in season one i dont know what they changed but its annoying. and no its not my wifi i have fiber optic and i run ethernet again only this season have i had consistent no-regs i have videos its so annoying

[tiny bough]

is it just me or ranked queue time in asia is really really high

[surreal meadow]

was map placed ziplines change??
before you could break the base of the vertical ones and it would break, now you cant. anyone else see this?

[half iris]

if it feels off, probably, at this point were 'beta' testers at best - everything changing all the time - games become utter shite tbh, every game the same shite

[ashen ibex]

i literally haven't been able to get into a single match today

[limpid brook]

Just got the loading screen bug saying "Players trying to connect" while the other two people in my group got into the game, so I did what any reasonable person does after 2 minutes of waiting and restarted my game to try to reconnect. Banned from matchmaking. yipee.

[distant fossil]

was in the middle of a ranked match right after getting gold and my hud just disappears even when i died it didnt fix it. this is different from a time i took a screenshot using f12 and the hud disappeared but returned when i respawned i tried to leave the game and reconnect but that didnt work when i tried to reconnect the game crashed

[quick coyote]

Will casual tornaments come back after bunny bash is done?

[dull quarry]

fire damage quest doesnt track correctly, set multiple people on fire several times throughout a match and supposedly only did 20 damage

[keen summit]

Why do I have to buy an entire set of I just want 1 item out of it... I really don't feel like paying 1600 for a tattoo when individuals are priced 250, this strategy probably makes Embark lose money...?

[maiden igloo]

why the fuck did they get rid of the ability to see fp need for next rank

[quick coyote]

It reached a point where cheaters go all blatant, have the audacity to tbag players and likely not get banned for two months. Quite the unfortunate spot for the game.

[quick coyote]

you can't break them anymore, its a documented change in the lastest patch.

[visual viper]

Please make the ranking make sense. I’ve been stuck on bronze 4 for days, I get matched with unranked and go against gold and silver. There’s no tracking system on how close you are or what exactly we need to do.

Second complaint- overcharging for in game currency. We need to spend $20 on bucks for a kit that we only want one item out of that costs a fraction of what is required??

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

[frigid oracle]

Is there somewhere I can report bugs?

Thank you. Also I tried asking in the finals chat and got ignored

Bug is the jackpot juggle animation for the AK doesn’t stay equipped

[shut egret]

Maybe email, what’s the bug

there is a bug report channel on discord: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1201841543926005810
there should also be an option to write a ticket regarding your bug on embarks website.
this channel is also meant for game feedback. If you have more questions the finals chat channel is where id ask them: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1009830578545246213

[pale turret]

The paralyzing gun is so useless from the nerve the enemy it returns faster than before even paralyzed they have time to put 2 bullets in your head

[south cargo]

I just qued into ranked, was the only one on my team, and got suspended for 30 minutes for leaving. I love this game.

[pulsar vessel]

Why do some people have a weekly to cashout $150k while some people have to steal 15 cashouts? Stealing 15 times is so much harder than the other to the point that I'm wondering why everyone doesn't have the same challenge

[balmy ivy]

the throwing knifes dont have the level 6 skin

[nocturne oar]

The Bunny Bash game mode is fantastic and I hope that game modes with locked load-outs make frequent appearances going forward, thoroughly enjoying it

[quick coyote]

i have two cheaters in my lobby

[violet solstice]

There must have been a sale on Hacks over Easter cos since Easter Cheaters/Hacker numbers have exploded in the casual game modes...It's no fun anymore. If the devs don't do something soon about the hackers/cheats I fear this game is doomed.

[zealous peak]

As a primary support player, can we PLEASE get some form of toggle focus for the healing beam? I have an instance every game where I try to heal a low HP teammate and it only focuses on the other. For as many bugs as I deal with when playing the game, the healing beam having no option or focus makes playing coordinated and selfless even more difficult than it already is...

[magic lynx]

just so you guys know, there is two places to access the editor for crosshair in the settings 👍

one is under gameplay and the other is under accessibility....
its the exact same settings for the crosshair too

ill send pictures if needed (just dm me)

[fast bison]

Can someone explain to me what is happening when my game freezes then a window pops up saying my game hung it self. Been happening since last season. Its only during ranked between loading into the next games. Also once it finally force closes, I launch the game and either reconnect for only 1 more round of the tourney even if we win or I get suspended. When i can rejoin its only for the next round and if we win i then get kicked out while my team keeps going. If i cant reconnect the timer just increases each time.

[tiny rapids]

Ranked is absolute garbage right now. Every game I play I play against diamonds. One on at least every team and my team is gold, myself included. Why am I playing with diamonds when my teams average rating is gold. Even if I go to the semifinals or finals I won’t rank up even tho I’m facing diamonds. What’s this stupid matchmaking

[stray basalt]

Game idea: since there is such a heavy emphasis on sponsors maybe sponsors could make bets to see which team wins offering more in game rewards if said better teams wins(overdogs, jet setters, etc). Idk if this should be implemented in ranked tournament only or other modes such as powershift. But just a thought.

[severe wave]

I remember when oscar said matchmaking is fixed😂 Yh FIXED my team is full diamond and we play against bronzes sometimes aswell😂 idk what embark is doing. but i think they cant do proper matchmaking because the player base is so small i hope they do better marketing. If we get more players we can do better matchmaking aswell @vestal basin I used to play valorant and remember they had the best anticheat embark should ask them for help. Their anticheat is TERRIBLE. @quick coyote Not really the devs fault. Their actually hear what the players say. Like this saison is a million times more balanced than season 1. BUT balancing alone is not enough. Spawns this season are terrible they used to be good in saison 1. Matchmaking is only a bit better this saison still terrible. Anticheat sucks ass. Marketing sucks ass. You cant see ranked progression which is stupid and frustrating. I still love this game tho and its alot of fun. And new map is actually so good my favourite map. Hope they fix their anticheat

[glacial sierra]

14min to find a standard match. oof

[shut gyro]

Please fix the respawns they are bugged always respawning far away from ongoing cahsouts , and 2 teams respawn on the same cashout while the other cashout is going at the same time, i think since season2 the respawns are bad

[distant fossil]

poleeease fix the spawns when coining spawning into a group of 3 right in front of you a map away from your cashout defeats the purpose of coining at all

[quick coyote]

Not really feedback as much as a request, but a balisong skin for the dagger would be really cool :)

[daring fossil]

is this stage 4? I dont have either of those.

I have one to damage opponents with fire and I don't think it's tracking properly. so thats fun

[vestal basin]

Most players refuse to play any games with "Easy" anti cheat. The rest? China cheaters enjoy it so much

[cloud roost]

Love that the only mode that crashes is the only one that penalizes you for leaving games

[wise plume]

We desperately need kbm on consoles

[wanton stream]

Can you please work on the game's anti-cheat system, always encountering cheating

[pulsar vessel]

Yes, stage 4. Some people apparently also have win 10 rounds instead

[supple onyx]

Cheaters are a problem and the ‘Block’ system. I get a cheater in around 25% of games which will kill this game. Also, I wouldn’t totally mind if the block list was to be increased from 50 I think and ACTUALLY WORKED. The spawns also seem to not work how they used to. Ranked is also still not ranked as players range from gold to diamond every game, but I can look past the small problems I guess. The non-existent anticheat will kill this game. 😦

[near snow]

please for the love of god limit the amount of shit on the power shift platform, how many times to people have to ask for this?

[tender minnow]

mines need better reliable audio cue because right now the audi cue doesnt work most of the time, does audio not go thru walls or something? if so you should fix that

[plucky cloak]

Please for the love of God INSTALL A WORTHY AND USEFUL ANTI-CHEAT SOFTWARE IN THIS GODFORSAKEN GAME! IT WILL CRASH AND BURN HARD IF U DONT! I have hackers in nearly almost every game I play there's at least 1! And I play with a full squad of friends on power shift. This is ridiculous! The absolute worst game I have ever played. The concept is nice, the physics r nice. But the amount of cheaters and hackers and the unbalanced weapon system in general is absolutely terrible. Will reccomend people not to install this game until it's fixed.

[tall charm]

ur just bad tbh

[stray basalt]

Make a Man outfit Embark. Including an outfit of the jonkler

[daring fossil]

I have the 10 win one, which isn't bad, and one to do 10 dailies which means I wont get them all done in a day lol. but yeah, weird they are different for people.

@supple onyx if you go to your block list, it specifically says all it does it stop them from voice chatting and inviting you. It doesn't actually stop them from being put in matches with you. It's basically a mute button, which is stupid. its actually useless.

[normal steeple]

15 steals is going to test my sanity big time
I am for challenges being different but they have to be similar in difficulty.

[thick sorrel]

amen, feels worse than 1 shot rpg back then. Running around a corner - insta death...

[pulsar vessel]

yeah its ass, i really hope they change it

[near snow]

Buff teammates, I’m tired of getting dog shit on my team that can’t secure a kill or win a single 1v1. All I get is losers that can’t maintain a positive KD. Shit players are ruining this game and ranked is full of cheaters. I know you won’t do anything about the cheaters in this game because you already would have, get your shit together and make the game great or let it burn out and die like the rest

[hollow barn]

With all due respect. I have a suggestion that needs to be addressed due to the current circumstances of the game.

Currently the game does not have enough players to have healthy matchmaking and a fast enough queue to wait.

I think they should consider eliminating the competitive tournament and go to a 4 team cashout method. Since to run a tournament you need a lot of people and currently the game is not going through a situation of abundance at the moment. I think they should take into account the decrease of players and adapt the ranked accordingly. Thank you very much embark!. Keep cooking!.

[bitter delta]

I suggest making a new mode with a new idea: a random change of the player's class and weapons. for example: a player kills an opponent and his class changes (for example, from heavy to light) and his weapon changes, not the one he has in the setup. the mode can be made 1v1v1v1v1 and the meaning will be like quick cash

[unique widget]

LOVE THAT THERE IS A HACKER IN MY GAME RN GOIN 31-0

[violet wigeon]

Fix the Xbox embark issue none of us can sign in using pc. Also medium has issue where the can’t heal/ shoot/ use gadgets .

[stuck forum]

Day 37 of asking for unranked cashout to return

[distant fossil]

should consider adding phrases like "play careful", "disengage", or "just run" maybe let us choose from a list, also let us use it while down and coins are available. voice communication is allowed while downed. those should be too or voice should be removed while down

[daring fossil]

I am quite certain that the deal 2500 damage to opponents with fire contract for stage 4 is not tracking correctly, I have been throwing and hitting people with fire grenades for a dozen matches and even had a medium stand in one from almost full health and burn to death and it's only tracked 220 damage.

[quartz shell]

fix third party pls

[dull hemlock]

Super minor thing but why does clicking on your name go to progression by default now? Fairly certain the majority of people who click it are going to look at their stats page/league/circuits. Basically everything but progression, since that's the only thing with a set end right now.

Also melee hit reg is fucked. Still. As has been said, but just throwing it out there.

[fresh shell]

As if tournament winning wasn't unlikely enough... 15 cashout steals?! And all of these are needed to get a single damn item at the end?
Terrified of what absolute junk contracts we'll get in the later tracks now.

[keen girder]

Is anyone else still receiving a rank issues on not gaining any levels after wins of a tournament ? I still can’t tell whether I have to keep winning or losing to rank or derank , I’m just curious ?

[honest island]

game is full of hackers As if that weren't enough, the game is already full of players abusing the meta gamer the lightweight's invisibility abilities as well as his stun gun I'm getting into games that simply have a slight invisibility on the entire team and the other teams also have a slight invisibility but honestly balancing in a game is something I play that is impossible nowadays It's one thing that's bringing several games to an end is having character classes with their unique powers and one thing that simply helps to make the meta gamer is that in itself the meta gamer is a cancer for games today scales character and something that will never work There will always be something that is better than another, stronger or easier to use. and this will always make the meta game that ruins the game day after day several games with these practices have their foot in the grave CSGO, which follows the practice of an old fps game with just asthma and grenades that everyone can use, is still as strong as ever So I suggest you drastically change the game, including this idea of classes and exclusive powers, throw all that away create a game mode just to test only weapons without classes add more health and add a vest keep the goal of safes only weapons and grenades without separate classes no stun gun no missile launcher or release it for everyone to use, replace the ability with an extra grenade slot coloque isso para testar apenas como modo de jogo adicional e veremso oque acontece ... As it is, the game will die whenever I play, most of the problems are the meta gamer, class abilities and some weapons that simply do more damage, but in short, class abilities

[tough merlin]

15... Is nothing tbf. you'll get that within a few games.

on a serious note can we quit with the same power shift challanges? Literally two weeks in a row its the same exact one lol

Edit also why are people getting different challnage contracts. Some have the 15 steals some have 150k cashout.

[floral pelican]

can u see how far u are from ranking up? i won a game and came 2nd twice and havent even ranked up and when i go to carrer it doesnt move so like what?
also i swear the rez hitbox on for defeb is trash i swear it doesnt work half the time even in open spaces

[cunning garden]

how i can accept discord quest

[thick sorrel]

tl:dr
1 or 2 round ranked tournaments instead, please.

[tawny geyser]

The game is full of cheaters who don't get banned and even go to Diamond2 without a ban, not to mention all the points lost to the cheaters and the game doesn't give me back the points lost unfairly,There would still be other problems for sure, but I think it's the biggest problem in this game since the beginning of season 2.

[craggy granite]

pls, ASIA server is dog shit rn with cheaters

[lunar haven]

again please make snipers projectile you should not one tap a light or two tap everyone else across the map instantly

[maiden cliff]

Can yous fix ranked for console players we understand there may be low players at times but people have been testing and it seems like there is a bug preventing console players in certain regions from finding ranked games. I've heard if a console player joins a pc player party it dosent affect any more apparently. I'd loved to play ranked its making me lose hope cause it's taking so damn long

[lost pine]

Yes there is a lots of cheater on Asia Servers .... it's insane ...

[merry totem]

It would be nice if after dying we could see all of the sources of damage that caused our death. Too many times I'm pretty sure I've fully healed so have say 350 hp, then die 1 second into a fight with the summary indicating 100 from one person and 48 from another. If I wasn't fully healed, if there was a way to keep the earlier damage on the stack and show it when I die, at least I won't have that uneasy sense that somehow the math was wrong. (Of course, like checking one's credit card statement, it's probably always right, but in that case, just list all the damage.) I wonder if others also notice this and also find it a little annoying.

[sudden geyser]

Im happy i havent seen a cheater yet. Now im gonna get jinxed lol

[tough merlin]

Tbf the game has over 25k per day. its not inherently a player problem as much as it is a region problem. No idea how to address that tho.

Tho even on NA sometimes the queue times are long. Curious if people just dislike the mode that is ranked.

[timber igloo]

PLEASE give us an option to turn offf auto aim on melee with M&K

[dry ruin]

Depends which servers you play on, cause asia one has TONS of cheaters and europe not so much

[final wedge]

make skill issue accessible to console?

[near snow]

Every match either has cheater on enemy team or your team has someone who has no idea what they are doing/can’t win a gunfight whatsoever

[glad delta]

started playing ranked and by game 3 I have an obvious wallhacker who is doing silly things and making themselves worse b-c they shoot at walls
Also I{m sorry but I should not be able to get stabbed and quickmelee'd at the same time for an instant kill. this is horseshit.

[topaz jetty]

Please for the love of god let the timer stop when the cashout is being stolen at the very out

[simple crypt]

I’ve been in queue for 30 minutes…….

[lucid bay]

i think that melee hits shouldn't lock onto defib targets that are invulnerable while the animation is playing. I was playing heavy with sledgehammer that was going to kill a medium but it snapped onto the defib target which was invulnerable.

[last phoenix]

This really needs addressed. Hackers are becoming more and more common at higher levels in ranked. This cheat, PEERLESSSHIELD, just ruined a ranked tournament for us. We faced them in the 3rd round and the final round and this person was aimbotting the entire lobby even through mesh shield and dome shield. Across the map. They didn’t try to hide it auto-locking onto every player. Their team was complicit as they played heals and healed them while they did it. It’s unbelievable they could make it through an entire tournament let alone be in plat/diamond…

[unborn rose]

Remove the "Win one tournament" contract please

[fossil osprey]

I second this. I think there’s something to be said about the current tournament system. Having to win 4 rounds is TOUGH. This is understandable considering it’s rank, but most of us don’t want to play tournaments over and over and over again just for this painstaking challenge. Especially when teammates are constantly disconnecting, rage leaving or can’t coordinate anything. I think brining back unranked or shorter tournaments would help this drastically. In order to complete the challenge « Win one tournament » It really comes down to luck as a solo queuer. So yeah please for the love of all that is holy, make this challenge more accessible

[winged urchin]

just finished that one last match. better yet, remove the steal 15 cashouts contract

[dreamy sedge]

Day 1 of me asking for a "Suggestions" channel so we can specifically drop ideas there.

[rigid vessel]

crashed
rejoined
stole 2 cashout
won
suspended

now my team 2man in the next round
this is so dumb

[unborn rose]

Nonsense response. Just because you are part of the 15% of players who have won a tournament has nothing to do with the challenge itself being inordinately prohibitive in comparison to the other challenges that are part of the same circuit.

I could have seen the "Win one tournament" challenge being part of the FINAL challenge circuit just because you'd expect the challenges to get more difficult as you progress, and eventually reach the point where winning a tournament feels like part of the natural progression of the challenging part of the challenges.

This is just silly though, combined with the fact that they removed the non-ranked tournament playlist means that we are also now forced to play against cheaters, which makes our chances of completing this basically zero.

"sKiLl iSsUe" though right? im not allowed to criticize any facet of any game if im not an MLG pro-level streamer right? i wish people would get a grip..

[violet elbow]

Most people who invested time and passion into this game agree that balancing guns by nerfing recoil and range just makes gunplay worse without tackling real issues

revert recoil and range nerfs on all weapons and nerf guns like the Lewis and FCAR in ways that actually substantially change them, either by nerfing RPM and reducing recoil even further or by Nerfing Damage and increasing their effective range to push them much more into long range territory

[whole jasper]

hello i love the game but i think private matches shouldnt be only for 6 people everithing is good as hell. but could u please stop players from leaving in the start of the game or make the spot filling quicker they always join in the end .

[winged urchin]

play against cheaters? i have never encountered a cheater in my 100hrs of playing. also, why are you crashing out over one neutral comment. I wasn't being hostile

[drowsy cargo]

i'm okay with range falloff as a balancing knob, but yeah recoil and dispersion need to be the last knobs you reach for as a balancing measure. all of this revolver/FCAR/etc. stuff could be better solved with fire rate, damage, etc. tuning

[coral turtle]

first match of the day and a blatant cheater

[deep bluff]

Its still there its called "quick cash" unless you are talking about something else

[smoky iron]

Is anybody having issues with redeeming the skill issue code on discord?

I dont think range cant be a balancing factor, but I also dont think the first step in balancing weapons that are busted due to TTK/Damage Profile should be to hard lock them into the 40m range, long range gunplay is skill expressive and should be preserved and rewarded, the .67 damage scalar at range was completely fine for the FCAR and AKM and the fact that the FCAR sits at .5 now has done nothing besides making it feel worse to use at range cuz it just doesnt feel like it does real damage anymore

There is a game mode called cashout, 3vs3vs3vs3 - 2 cashouts at a time possible. I don't think it's about unranked tournaments, since it can't be day 37

[coral turtle]

Its a skill issue 😂

[drowsy cargo]

100%. I'm okay with giving weapons range falloff or other features based on range, and it definitely shouldn't be the first thing to tune when a weapon is ridiculous.

To use the revolver as an example,this game's objectives and maps can't handle a HaloCE/Overwatch pistol. In a case like that, range falloff makes sense. For something like an FCAR overperforming, it's definitely not a part of the problem/solution.

[rotund hound]

Private matches with less then 6 players pls

[rough hinge]

Why redirect me to the website just to tell me to report in game? Id love to peek inside the mind of the idiots who make decisions at embark.

[old sparrow]

i think a lot of the things said in here are overestimating things and whining about such little things when these devs have been better than any ive ever seen before. They are not gods that cant cater to every person or player

being able to change teams around and maps in custom games would be immense. its so hard trying to host a custom game atm constantly making new lobbies. Also to be able to make your own team name, its already got AI voices so that would be a fun addition.

[river plover]

Cashout is not at all made to be played with just 1 winner instead of 2, theres a reason why there needs to be a "final round"

[vagrant raptor]

jump pad on all classes pls

[bold silo]

10k players left, this game is going to 0 as devs cannot balance 3 classes lol

[narrow owl]

Cheaters still running rampant in the finals. Quick Fix: Hiring a team of 2-4 people that can primarily focus on reports to ban cheaters will get rid of the majority of them. It's ridiculous that I'm running into the same cheater I played 2 months ago and still no ban. I've also mentioned before, adding a reply system, to give people reassurance that "Hey, the dude u reported got banned". Additionally, adding a "avoid button" can help. Another thing they can add if done correctly. If a player is getting reported multiple times after playing a certain number of games, it should trigger an "Under Review" and it should suspend them from playing ranked until investigated.

[glossy glacier]

I hear skill issues just because u can't beat him doesn't mean they are cheating..

[fallen mirage]

It already exists:) If you throw goo at a vertical surface, it spreads horizontally. If you throw it at a horizontal surface, it stacks vertically

[fickle linden]

In-game reports are preferred, but you can send any screenshots, recordings, etc. to our team as well

[signal cosmos]

Not really, both times it's a 2 high wall. What I was suggesting is a 1 goo high plane. Currently you need ~2 goo nades to close ceilings or floors (in here is a nice image of the current goo placements https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Goo)

add “sorry” on the comm wheel. i want to be able to apologize for being a dumbass

also add the comically large spoon skin

[fast cave]

Please, also add the Option to change the game mode without the need to create a new lobby. I would like to see a PUG system with 2 designated (maybe the lobby owner can choose captains) team captains wich can pick their teammates from the avaiable players and a button wich randomizes team member compositions (without the need to create a new lobby if you want to scramble the teams after a match again ofc) Last but not least an option to choose teams themself. Current solution to mix teams is to make the players leave the lobby and join again unfortunately, wich also might not necessarily end up with random teams compared to the previous match.
Please

[heavy ruin]

Devs can you add aim assist to the goo gun on console

[silver forge]

Watching streamers go up against such blatant cheaters every other game is actually insane. Only makes me wonder how many people are using more subtle cheats…

[wary storm]

i like this idea of an underreview but not to suspend them. my partner recieved loads of messages in her twitch saying they have reported her for cheating to only find out it wasnt her and someone is just using an embark id to copy her name. This would of ended up with her being reported if they went to the twitch then reported her name on the screen rather than the fake account

[rough finch]

sbmm is dog, just give us rbmm

[urban skiff]

just got a 9 min ban and lost my rank cuz the game decided to do a update while i was in a rankT . nice.

[warped swan]

Worst anti cheat even fix your shit. Also fix head glitches on barricade it's ridiculous!

[plush shell]

fix respawn system, this is suck embark

[slender nexus]

guys win a tournament as a challenge is insane cause it's not finding any game 😭

[dull elm]

no grapple buff
no autosprint fix
no hitreg fix
no weapon nerfs/buffs (this one is suggestive)

i understand that there cant be a massive update every week, but we havent even gotten a dev note/acknowledgement about so many issues

please make a dev video about the current problems and thoughts on how to fix it
no road map but just saying you know the problems are here

[dark laurel]

1 cheater every 2 game since 1 week, it's starting to be exhausting..

[polar shell]

SUGGESTION: PLEASE ADD VOICE PACKS

[jade ingot]

[ebon elbow]

Pls add goth skin

[glossy glacier]

I say skill issues get gud and stop thinking everyone better than you is a cheater

[balmy compass]

Embark hasn't made EAC that they are using. And why are you trying to fight a heavy standing behind a barricade anyway? Go around, blow it up with red/orange barrel, throw a nade (either at it to instantly blow it up or over to damage players behind). It's a useful gadget that you have to play around.
@polar shell Wholeheartedly agree. A minor thing to add to that is that certain skins alter the voice e.g. using the max level season 2 battle pass face skin gives you a robotic/modulated voice. It's something 😄

🔸Rank is unplayable solo.
🔸Teammates simply just leave the game if they die once.
🔸Teammates simply just leave the game if they dislike your loadout.
🔸Teammates simply just leave if you don't join Voice Chat.

[slow zenith]

Embark i beg you change the meta for once

[oak gate]

Had 2 different ideas for a minor glitch grenade rework.

1. Increase the range of the GG a fair amount, but make it so that how long the glitch lasts for depends on how far they were from the grenade itself. For example if you were right next to the nade, you get glitched for say 7 seconds. If you were half its range away, 3.5 seconds etc

2. Give the glitch grenade 2 ranges. One bigger range that will only affect placed gadgets (aps, turret, dome etc). And a 2nd smaller range that only affects players. This way glitch grenade becomes a better counter towards things like aps because it doesn’t need to be so close, but it doesn’t become OP against players.

[glossy glacier]

[fiery whale]

I would like to add on my own behalf and put in my two cents, so to speak.. Developers, please make it so that when you open a battle pass, the current level is immediately shown, without having to scroll to it

[vestal basin]

Why the problem of cheaters never shown in #patch-notes ? Just like they never exist?

@upbeat urchin I'm not talking about fixing it in one day or 1 year, i'm talking about any single progress, such as feedback of player reported was banned would be appreciated

Every games that used EAC were ruined by cheaters, don't you think embark doesn't know that before choosing it for their ANTI-Cheat?

@upbeat urchin kernel ones can be countered by implanting kernel level driver, such as Valorant's vanguard anti-cheat., although it operates in kernel level, they somehow made it even able to detect cheats that use DMA (Direct Memory Access) (A type of cheat that can bypass most anti-cheats)

Yeah I guess money is the reason they chose EAC, building one like vanguard anti-cheat will cost way more

[signal cosmos]

A WW1/WW2 weapon or weapon reskin would be very nice. (I know lewis is from ww1)

[upbeat urchin]

maybe because it is not as simple to fix as you'd think? If there was an effective method to detect cheaters don't you think that they'd use it ?

@vestal basin even if you ban if you don't have better anticheat the guy will make a new account and start again. Problem is cheats are so good nowadays they completely bypass anticheats, even kernel ones...
I do agree that it is a pity that Embark customized their game so good but had to go with a proprietary anticheat (which is not even that good) instead of building their own or customizing it

@vestal basin I think as long as there no way to detect and ban XIM and Cronus Zen users (at least in ranked settings) then any online game will be in a terrible situation...

[toxic shadow]

Why are devs so scared of meaningful balance changes and different metas?

[silver forge]

Because wild changes and randomly buffing weapons into meta and nerfing others into the ground isn’t good design? Better to slowly bring weapons to the same level over time than constantly over tuning

[zealous pulsar]

please can we just get unranked tournaments back? or change the mission on the circuit, either one is fine.

[proven ibex]

Only reason players leaving this game

[deep gazelle]

Please

1. Add a ranked 5v5 tournament style with its separate rankings if needed
2. Add back unranked tournament for slightly more casual gameplay / get used to the formation before going in ranked.

[remote holly]

Please catch the Asian server hacker
I can't play games because there are too many

Hey not sure if its a thing or not but can we get a penalty for people who decide to leave mid game and not comeback its very annoyed when some decides to leave just because they are doing bad

I also agree with @remote holly hackers are a problem I ran into 2 hackers in the same game getting all headshots no mater how much I jumped around and moved

Steal 15 cashouts challenge - This challenge would be fine if teammates stealing counted as your own as well - Progression for these type of challenges should be team wide

ITS ABOUT TIME EMBARK (ranked progression indicators)

[round monolith]

The “Win 1 tournament” quest is too hard! Winning 4 rounds in a row? And the final round is against really competitive players! I’ve been playing a lot of tournaments but the most far i’ve gone is the final round… they should switch it to “Play 10 tournaments”

[steel vine]

The animations have been bugged since like end of season 1, I was assuming you cant have two separate animations on 1 gun or it bugs out (Jackpot Juggle reload and Prime-Time Ready inspect animations for AKM as a prime example) But I bought the heavy bundle this week and the Combat Clap deploy just flat out doesn't work either. Very disappointing.

[queen ocean]

Its called challenge for a reason, dont be a child and just play the game, I got it done just today. People just so soft nowadays, cant even complete a "CHALLENGE" without whining "its too hard ;((((((((("

Why would Ospuze sign you, if your belowe average and cannot complete these challenges? N00bs

Revert the ranked UI system for fame points to how it was in Season 1, I don't understand why we suddenly have to gatekeep important information and replace it with vague arrows after each match. We also can't see how close we are to the next tier.

No it’s not lmao. People are leaving because the matchmaking sucks, cheaters are everywhere, and the game is getting stale. Not everyone plays only ranked

You said it was the ONLY reason bruh

[formal musk]

Please add 1-2 dmg per bullet for the Famas it feels like it’s slightly lacking in power. If it becomes too powerful (yk with the data on your end) it can always be nerfed in 2 weeks. I would just love another option besides Fcar (yes model and akm are decent)

[proven ibex]

Read the comment of the reply again, you troll. I said the same.. it's coz matchmaking sucks.

[tacit patrol]

The glacial bluff bundle is way too much for the amount of artwork generated. $30 for 3 bundles with the same wrapped design on and the exact same hand animation feels like a knock off. If asked for a price point I would pay $5 per bundle.

On a positive note, the wraps are clean and very cool looking. The spirited vixen bundle at least has the appropriate amount of creativity behind it to be worth $14. Love the game, thank you for the update!

[violet karma]

Please, REIMAGINE the KS-23. It was Good before the patch, when it offered high burst damage and the ability to 1 shot (+melee) lights and 2 shot mediums.... In fact I expected it to get buffed a little - damage-wise. Making it shoot faster, and fly faster, in trade for less damage, actually makes it lose its identity and it just feels more like the medium shotgun, except the medium shotgun is far better in both feeling and sustainability.
The KS-23 had another use - to provide some burst damage at longer ranges, without having to spit out an entire clip, like the Lewis gun. But you nerfed that too, its dropoff starts at 18m, and ends at 23m, where you can't kill a heavy unless you hit ALL your 6 bullets....

[remote holly]

I can't play games because there are many hackers on the Asian server

[uneven mountain]

Will there be a way to see current fame points from just the menu using leagues?

[deft geode]

It only counts if YOU yourself steal it. The finals is a team game and challenges like these should be tracked as a team.

I feel like you're failing to understand the fact that stealing cashouts is a TEAM objective and thus the challenge should be tracked as per your team stealing it.

Nobody should have to wrestle with their own team members for who gets to hold "E" on the cashout box first to get their "challenge" done. If my team member steals it I don't get 1 towards my challenge.

The challenge itself is good don't get me wrong, but I shouldn't have to "be the first one to steal" to complete the challenge.

can we get more dev notes from the balance team, I just wanna know what direction they want to go into, what they're looking at doing in future - because right now it's kinda frustrating to see patches drop with almost no meaningful changes and no idea why there aren't any

[umbral summit]

I'm not shure, but is that a bug that the sniper sometimes not hit or did the bullets just fly not linear (if so how mutch?) I have clips where I aim directly on an opponent and the bullets not hit at all. His sniper bullet hit me than and at least what the animation shows, it looks like to me that the bullet flyed realy linear to me

Is anyone else not able to get into ranked games since update? Iv been trying since it dropped NA servers

[slow zenith]

John Embark if you can hear is please make meaningful meta changes John Embark if you can hear us please nerf the meta weapons and buff the useless ones

[mossy herald]

I'm actually kinda happy about the limited changes in those regards, think they're observing first and fixing urgent balancing issues but personally I like the way things have been handled. The few changes they make are significant and while on paper it's usually things I might not think are good once I play with them a little bit I usually like them and understand why the changes were made... would be cool to see transparency with how they're percieving community feedback and the direction they want to take things Ig though that couldn't be a bad thing for us. I get buff grapple though because it's like the MOST fun and like the LEAST viable, but I also think gadgets like that still have a place in this game lol so idk...

30 minute timer mb... LUCKY CAT APS TURRET. genius skin idea imo... you'd have a cute lil cat swatting away all the enemy gadgets and equipment and stuff and it'd be absolutely adorable it needs to happen.

[bitter delta]

I suggest making a new mode with a new idea: a random change of the player's class and weapons. for example: a player kills an opponent and his class changes (for example, from heavy to light) and his weapon changes, not the one he has in the setup. the mode can be made 1v1v1v1v1 and the meaning will be like quick cash

[twilit dune]

cloak is good enough already, if u use it right

u spray at an enemy team from a distance, drop down, cloak and turn the corner

I love this game, shame to see a lot of frustration on here at the moment but I’m sure the devs will address as much as they can.

I still haven’t commented enough to be able to post videos but here’s my bug report for PS5:

1. Music and sfx bugs on all maps/loading screens (I play Power Shift) (noticeable with update 2.3.0)
2. FCAR sometimes reloads when you try to shoot. This seems to happen when the magazine is full
3. My crouch is set to toggle. It’s intermittent if it crouches. It registers the tap by slightly moving but doesn’t commit to the crouch
4. I have run set to be always. It can sometimes not register. You need to let go of the stick and then move again for it to go from walk to run.
5. Getting stuck in and sucked through goo on the Power Shift platform.

Hoping the above can be looked into. I still really enjoy Power Shift but to die from the above does make it frustrating at times…

[half iris]

Why are meelee weapons stronger than, an AK, for example, a battering pole? or a hammer trumphs AK? I just see players leaving all the time now, youve ruined your game

As stated earlier by someone, we absolutely need "Sorry!" on the Communication Wheel; I can attest to the numerous times I've mistakenly made a dumb move and a teammate suffered the consequences 😅

[alpine wren]

You can't go from contract to contract to see the rewards... you only have to look at the one currently in progress, the one for Easter.

Also, it would be cool to have an in-game overlay that could be activated or deactivated to see the progress of challenges in real time.

[queen ocean]

The Challenge encourages you to be a better player in your own team. I completed it today, meanwhile you wanna whine about it. Straight up shows your mentality not only towards the game but towards life. If you cannot complete this simple challenge in a video game -> Skill Issue -> Mentally challenged on a daily bases

[kind light]

we need more 5v5 modes!

[deft geode]

I never said its hard, its annoying in that there is no team progression. How do you draw the line "challenge in video game -> skill issue -> mentally challenged". You have issues my dude.

You can double the requirement, triple it even, but it should at least track as a team as this is a TEAM objective. Its the equivalent of having "slay baron" in league of legends but having it so that you need to last hit it for it to count. You shouldn't have to wrestle with your teammates to complete a team objective.

[novel mauve]

I think embark should take more time on the updates
I enjoy the weekly updates as it keeps the game really fun but it also is a double edge sword for just two reasons:

1. Nerfs/buffs - too little data to go off of or too little time given to the player base to try and counter these nerfs/buffs

---

2. I also believe that for changing metas,it grants more data on what to actually do to combat these metas, once again it could be too little data - I suggest Embark watches this video by pirate software because it explains pretty well what to do with metas: https://youtube.com/shorts/y5CjhzyIZio?si=nuKo7R62mgXqxFdD
   Thanks for making the game fun as always

[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

[viral light]

BUFF DAGGER

[shut aspen]

Hope to see gifting added to this game at some point
I know that it's not the top priority, but would love to see it added in the near future

[thick sorrel]

I expected more smaller balance changes with 2.3.0
e.g. Glitch duration 5s to 7s was a nice feedback from many players

[dull elm]

Well you can already kinda gift by giving steam giftcards, but it would be nice to gift with Ingame coins

[balmy compass]

Same. Considering the large amount of same feedback over and over every day from many different players, not just the same ones spamming exact same message every 30m like this riot shield guy above. I was surprised to see such a miniscule patchnotes and I'm missing lots of small fixes. Especially not being able to leave ranked games when someone already left.

[tight garden]

it's more of an community management feedback than actual gameplay itself (i couldn't find more proper channel than here):
when we say like "but hey, at least embark is actually listening and responding to the community pretty fast. look at the x game where they took almost a year to address an obvious issue.. " we -and don't know if i have the audacity to spoke as wide as to refer "we" as gamers but let's move on- would want to have this in a way that's is more competent at pointing out problems and what they can do to fix it. Yeah sure we have some adjustments to ranked system and nuke nerfs and such but why no one dev yapping about the cheat problem as much as the next guy? don't need to act like this is not a common issue of a online fps or whatever. maybe it's just me who not seeing about this but when it's an apperant silence, i just felt like "ok, they only fast responding when it's a cosmetic, non consequential thing or some minor thing i guess"
i hope this helps for everyone around this com

[zealous pulsar]

some people just don't like ranked, besides, at least have it later on in the circuit since it's so much harder than all the others

[lunar creek]

Just on kills or did they actually cheat? I have gotten similar scores in the past too in ranked. (Generally it is just me being REALLY lucky)

[mystic briar]

actual cheat
ive started recording now in case they ask evidences now

[pseudo leaf]

Game started to feel laggy after the update

[placid valley]

that trash new light pistol def needs a buff

[fiery terrace]

The cheater problem is quite big rn, almost every game 1-2 100% cheaters in ranked

[fast cave]

you can hear and see the cloaked Lights if they are moving

[odd tundra]

cheating in FPS has been a long time problem. even bigger game titles with longer public gametime such as CS, Fortnite, Apex Legends have horrific levels of cheating and botting problems. The good thing about this community is that they recognize and actually do tell us something is going on. Unlike titles that have an active esports that continually and actively informs of problems (looking at you Apex) that just don't tell us anything.

[quick coyote]

how tf should i finish this challange with tournament if i can't find a game for a week straight ? i spending like ~1 hour per try and it like 2-3 per day and i didn't played any of this tournaments
i did all of changes that support said to me , like change nametag , change region , reinstal , i even bought a new pc , but this one doesn't help
so how should i do this ?
i mean if u giving this quest , let people make it , or just change it ?

[stray basalt]

That’s understandable, what had to recognized though is that it’s not as simple as “ur devs lol, stop being lazy and just get a better anti cheat!” People always like to to bring up valve too as if that is a perfect solution. The fact of the matter is that even larger for games currently have or at least had in the past massive problems of their own with cheating. Apex Fortnite, r6, over watch, COD we could go on. I wouldn’t expect a much smaller but growing title like the finals to just fix it entirely. As long we patiently and respectfully continue bringing it up to the devs then we should be fine.

[cedar haven]

They actually did it 🙏

[quick coyote]

A season with a map in Rome maybe 🙏

[severe cargo]

New update and already cheaters, thank you embark.

[muted raptor]

Why are the throwing knives like the ugly duckling?? The only weapon with level 6 instead of level 7, and no skins, like ever. The only solid skin imo is the 52 Pickup, but we can get skins for the grenades and new weapons in shop. What did TK do to Embark??

[drowsy cargo]

they just got the playing cards in the last BP

[zealous pulsar]

bro it doesn't matter how much i try, i am not winning one, i am locked out of it.

yeah but most of them are like "do 3000 damage" and then there is one that just sticks out like a sore thumb
i am ok with high end rewards for high end challenges, but you can't mix the two

again, diamond is high tier stuff for the best players, and that's fine, but the feeling i get from this circuit is that it's supposed to reward more diverse gameplay for people who are maybe getting better at the game so that they experience more of it. a ranked tournament filled with sweats from two leagues above is just not winnable by many.

@vocal cave 100% agree

[hollow badger]

No way

[elder iron]

At least on console, whenever the “Combat Clip” animation is equipped (I’m assuming for all weapons with it in the bundles in shop rn), you can’t equip a inspect animation different from then standard one. Very weird

[vocal cave]

thats fair but not being able to do 1 out of the 7 challenges isn't that bad right ur only missing out on the exp, u still get the free cosmetic because u only need 5/7. It really isn't the end of the world, I also think they should have just kept unranked mode if they wanted to do this challenge, would've been way more doable for more casual players

[deft moth]

REVERT C4 AND BREACH CHARGES CHARGES BACK TO 2

i just want my main enviroment destruction tool back!
ill just use RPG instead since it can do the same thing but more flexible, can damage without waiting for a primer and has RANGE!

[pseudo breach]

Day 9 of asking to put map rotation on a timer for casual. Really sick of getting Horizon and or Vegas 90% of the time.

Also, can we please get South African servers?

[cloud spear]

why cant i still leave a ranked match if a teammate disconnected without being punished?

[stray rampart]

Experiencing very high lag in asia. I see no symbols either but the lag is still there, sometimes there's like 1 - 2 seconds of input delay when it's movement related or when I'm swapping weapon/gadget

[proven ibex]

Yup, it's unplayable with frame drop

[blissful bridge]

facts , C4 is ruined right now , I hope they revert them and give breach 2 charges

[fiery terrace]

You have to steal, not cashout, just steal bruh

[lament talon]

For me the game is really really fun but i'm not playing it at all rn since I'm a competitive gamer that plays tourneys. I will once the finals has some.

[plush grotto]

There are a couple of servers I’ve seen that set up wager matches

[bold flicker]

so basically a new patch just to nerf famas.my first game today with cheaters again.Clown devs cant address the biggest problem of this game.happy its dying

[past wasp]

actually this, I like these more than winning a tournament but still... Embark what are you doing? Why do some people just get way easier challenges?

[deft moth]

oh, i forgot to mention!

Any chance of considering on taking a look at the 4-Bore rifle as a side-grade for the KS-23?

Theres a channel on youtube that you can check for 4-Bore footage and being used, but im afraid one of the rules say i cant "promote" this so ill stop here

[faint shoal]

I feel like it would be cool if we could change the colors on the standard/career clothing, more variety

[faint atlas]

I hate logging on every evening to play ranked tournaments 😦 it’s a miserable experience

[formal light]

I have been streaming the finals for 15 minutes and no skin. Is there something else I need to do???

[glad ore]

Give the FCAR a meaningful nerf. Buff the revolver's hipfire so you aren't gambling every time you're in a close fight. Give the riot shield a floral pattern or something, idk. M weapons overall need a balance pass.

[lavish hatch]

Just 4 hours after the release of 2.3.0...

There are cheats with a 100% headshot rate in every ranked matches again. Do something or I will continue to stop spending.

[eternal kayak]

We need a way to save outfits within the same contestant. There's no way we can make it through season after season with just a max of 6 possible outfits especially as a person who spends regularly on the game.

[subtle cove]

Please increase xp gain for data reshaper gadget

[quick coyote]

what's with the new post-ranked match thing, it's so unclear

[foggy ginkgo]

Wasnt really that much of a nerf if at all it was really just an adjustment to make it a bit more consistent

[novel mauve]

Make flashbang have a faster detonation
Flashbang just seems so bad because of what it requires just to have it work:

1. The enemy has to look at the nade
2. You have to throw it right just for a chance for step 1 to work
3. Now you have to hope it actually blinds them long enough for you to be able to get some advantage in the battle
   It just sounds so good on paper but falls so short compared to every other nade, smoke nade has more uses than flash and it's also a bad nade compared to others, not to mention that this is a fast action game, it's difficult to even get full time with the flashbang.
   The only time I can think of you having a use for flashbang is when you are in a small room with your enemies, and even then why not use a frag/pyro/gas nade?

[past wasp]

they really just need to give us the option to reroll circuit challenges for 1,000 VR, I don't understand why they would give people different challenges if not to do exactly that

[placid panther]

a way to see how many bullets/damage was blocked by the riot shield

[dull robin]

Mayby a map for 2 v2v2

[hasty citrus]

I'm literally done playing ranked, i wait more in queue than playing the game like seriously ?

[keen quiver]

Good idea? 1 same map only for Ranked tournament? A special map just for Ranked

[silver forge]

Pyro nades shouldn’t bounce off mesh shields. They should explode on impact

[faint atlas]

I think so too… none of my friends are having fun with it

[upbeat ore]

In the Leagues tab some indicator of roughly how close/far you are from ranking would be nice.

[quick coyote]

sorry but the deploy clap animation being tied to ONE weapon is such a dumb decision, i can't fathom why on earth you decided to do that, especially since its from a paid/store bundle. i was waiting for a new deploy animation since ever and thats what we got...?

[hardy shoal]

I find it extremely irritating to lunge at a medium going for a revive and have the player get saved by the mid revival team member tanking the hit. I don't think the mid-reviving team member should have a collision hit box or tank bullets/melee hits. Have died multiple times to phantom hits like this.

[lapis pollen]

Everytime I said knives, dagger need a buff and rework. Always some nerds think it should be meme.

These people just don't want cold weapons in gunfights. Knives, daggers and riot shields are the things they hate most more than stun guns.

Boring nerds always want to make games formulaic and hate changes, even thinking that using them is "not taking the game seriously"

Stop, this is a video game. Jett in Valorant is an example. Stop talking about meme weapon. No weapon is worthy of becoming a meme weapon. Only bad balanced and deliberate neglect will make weapon become meme.

[quick coyote]

the end of ranked game progression screen be added to the ranked tab so i can show my friends

[gleaming summit]

tell yourself as much as you want, your skill issue argument is just child's play. It's not a skill issue if the whole game is just annoying dog shit in quickplay.

[stuck inlet]

Embark i don't know how you expect me to finish the challenger circuit when it takes me hours queuing for a tournament something that i haven't had a chance to even play yet. At least don't tie a tournament contract to any circuit if it'll be impossible for players to finish it

[vivid finch]

What is happening with ranked this season? im currently diamond 2 and loose rank if i get knocked out in 3rd match - Seems a little much ? so i have to get finals to not loose rank at this stage?

[balmy compass]

Yeah not like you can counter invis or anything like people told you. Stay mad, cope, and just ask devs to change the game because you are unwilling to learn.

[solid sinew]

bruh i lost on final round to aimbot and im closer to deranking than ranking up

[lost forge]

Imagine i was diamond 3 went into the fi als twice today and deranked to diamond 4 getting second place means nothing now

[compact fossil]

asian servers ?

[faint atlas]

A power shift tournament mode would be great, and another possible way for players to “win one tournament”

[runic sun]

WE GOT THE RANKED PROGRESS BAR LETS GOO

[vestal basin]

Those china players actually buy cheater boosts to diamond, I heard them talking in voice chat
They are so pathetic, and so is the game

[wind summit]

with the animations coming out for Deploying, Reloading, and Inspecting, I'd love the option to randomize through all of them while in game.

[quick coyote]

Never seen more lousy game devs replacing good shit with trash... rollback to Season 1 and start over.

[sinful zealot]

Add akimbo pistols i think it would be cool

[dark zephyr]

We gotta revert the spawns back, this running across the map is miserable

[copper lark]

buff weak stuff

[pliant quartz]

does this game even have anti cheat

[thick basin]

I have an idea, add a spectator mode, since this game is made to look like an TV program.
I would rather watch players fight than playing myself
Just like CS, team switching, specs

[rich fox]

love your vids 🍻

[south dagger]

I think it would be cool to be able to spectate your friends in matches that you are not in, and maybe you can choose to join them if someone leaves their game. Make sense to anyone?

[daring fossil]

of course the outfit I want from season 2 still isn't available, just more furry shit.

[pliant wind]

Would be nice if the tournament was like unranked and only had 3 rounds, not 4. Feels way too long.

[mystic smelt]

Can we seperate the casual modes from the win rate statistic? and just have ranked wins/losses

[haughty zephyr]

is matchmaking fixed ?

[celest pulsar]

they removed that

[cloud spear]

Your ranked system is beyond garbage, theres some feedback for you. I get put into match with no teammate which I cant leave without being punished and I demote when I lose said match because surprise surprise, you cant really win 2v3 in a teambased game

[normal locust]

wtf is that ranked indicator? we reached finals and we got almost demote? XD

[real siren]

Add teamchat please

[mossy jasper]

Goo should not glitch you into its geometry, nothing worse then being caught in it with no mechanical way of countering it. it should push you away but not get caught in it.

[terse lark]

please nerf Fcar fire rate and revert damage drop off nerfs. Famas is balanced to be a long range rifle but everyone still picks Fcar bc it's high accuracy and damage at range and it's solid fire rate and damage is still really good at close to medium range. it's all around still the most versatile and overall the best gun in the game.
if it got a fire rate nerf it would still be good at medium to long range but struggle at close range; leading people to pick the akm for its large mag and good close to medium damage as well as the famas for people who want a gun with good medium to long range capabilities while not as weak in close range fights.
each rifle should shine at different aspects but the way the Fcar is now its too strong compared to the famas and the akm making it a no brainer pick in ranked

[cloud remnant]

The problem is then that if a team is doing garbage, two of the teammates could force or bully the third teammate to leave so they don't lose ranking

[limber umbra]

I think they game really desperately needs a prestige system or something similar level 50 is not even close to high enough... competitive players have nothing to grind for once they reach level 50 and hit diamond...

I'm already diamond for season 2 and have been level 50 for months I think some sort of level system with cool level icons that would be displayed in game might make players more inclined to play. It took me barely any time at all to reach diamond this season and now I'm not playing I don't see a reason for it I can't earn anything more nor can I level up at all

[stuck inlet]

Based

[tidal karma]

More weapon mastery skins would be cool

[muted jungle]

Really wish the battle pass had stayed at a linear 9k XP per level. I can't be the only one a little annoyed that purchasing levels is exclusively a better deal once you hit level 64 on the battle pass (all levels become 12k after that but buying level ups costs exactly the same). The overall XP needed to complete the pass is the same so it's not a huge complaint, but now buying levels is deceptive and misleading. No real advantage to the non-linear battle pass change, only less clarity and more grind near the end of it.

[supple abyss]

Another day, another cheater infested lobby.

[cloud jungle]

REMOVE MELEE AUTO-AIM/LOCK-ON

[mystic briar]

kindly add a lobby text channel (atleast) i cannot confirm what mode my random friends wanna play cuz most of them do not use mics

[dusty igloo]

Please for the love of god just get rid of melee aim lock on, dont even give us an option just straight up remove it. I have had so many moments where I have two enemies, easy kill. I swing for one, they need to be hit once more, swing again but then I do a 180 and hit the other full health person, now the one hit person can deal a ton of damage and kill me because I for some reason was forced into hitting the dude that I couldnt even see

[hot grotto]

this game needs to stop penalizing players in ranked when their act of leaving isn't even their fault but the game's

[river current]

rebuff sa1216（diffusion and range）

[jolly barn]

[graceful slate]

Remove cloak please many thanks

[sturdy owl]

Day 2 of asking for team deathmatch mode

[daring fossil]

please buff the revolver, I mained it on medium for the entirety of season 1 and during betas and now I don't use it at all. You never see it in games anymore, barely any one bothers using it. It's such a high risk low reward gun compared to every other medium pick and feels really bad to use when half your shots either don't register at all or don't hit purely because of RNG. Why is a high aim skill weapon governed by RNG? improving the damage fall off was in the right direction, but not nearly enough. You guys keep touching everything that everyone uses but continue to constantly neglect everything that is obviously broken (stun gun and fcar) and everything under used (revolver, dagger and throwing knives)

[gritty sedge]

When do you guys think mnk will be coming to console? if the finals is crossplay with pc, how come console players arent able to use mnk? thanks

[rapid stream]

Get rid of melee auto lock and fix melee hitreg

[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

[kind light]

would be great some death-match mode with insta-revives and maybe smaller map areas

[weary wing]

Agree with all of this!

Famas is balanced to be a long range rifle but everyone still picks Fcar bc it's high accuracy and damage at range and it's solid fire rate and damage is still really good at close to medium range. it's all around still the most versatile and overall the best gun in the game.

each rifle should shine at different aspects but the way the Fcar is now its too strong compared to the famas and the akm making it a no brainer pick in ranked

[cloud remnant]

its really useful for when using dagger but otherwise keep it off please embark 🙏

[shut stratus]

The interact area to pick up the deployable shield for heavy needs a small tweak. Since most times you will be trying to draw out your weapon and trying to pick up the shield mid gunfight.

[limpid zodiac]

Losing against cheaters and bout to lose my rank this is so good

[trail prairie]

i'm not ranking ? i juist won 2 games second place and then 1 game 1st place ? and i dont rank up ?

[velvet root]

wtf guys even season 1 didnt have this many cheaters

[mystic radish]

Please give the medium class assault rifles more usability at range, so less damage falloff and less recoil like in cb1 and cb2. It's been so incredibly unfun to use them especially as an mnk player ever since the full release of the game. In their current state they just get in the way of skill expression for people with genuinely good aim more than anything since the recoil is insanely unpredictable at range especially on the akm.

[dusk forge]

day 198: Your matchmaking still sucks bad...thx for nothing

[azure knoll]

Hey embark what if you got rid of the hackers

[plucky badger]

Day 12 advocating for the ability to hold right click on dagger and throwing knives

[upper citrus]

please no. there is no skill expression in standing still and potshotting people miles away. it’s incredibly boring. this game shines and close range and should actively encourage it. medium and light also both have options specifically for long range. just pick those instead of asking for all weapons to be capable of playing in the most obnoxious way possible

[dusty igloo]

Let us add reactions in this channel so we can use on the feedback

[upbeat urchin]

Please make improvements to the bots in the firing range ! I think everyone would agree that shooting stationary targets is not really a good warmup.

[sage abyss]

any1 else confused with the new rank system update

[shy swan]

TRY FRIENDS LOADOUTS

[violet elbow]

I think a good middle ground is to revert recoil nerfs, make recoil patterns more CONSISTENTLY DIFFICULT troughout them and THEN Buff range, that way hitting long range becomes actually more difficult with guns like the FCAR/Lewis which allows for skill expression without allowing everyone to Chip easily at long range

[scenic cairn]

Tournament matches are hell. For the love of god change the quests.

[echo panther]

make a cashout earning into 2 parts so the team who has it and its at half already gets some money or something in this way i think its important to have something in this way because defending a cashout for the the whole time and then just getting overpowerd by 2 teams at the end feels unfair and unearned with this u at least get some value out of it for defending it even if it gets stolen at the end

[charred ivy]

Would it be possible to add a "Cheating" or similar to the post-game feedback pop-up? I guess i can do "Crushed by opponents", but in matches like my previous one with 2 teams having 3 cheaters in total, and another team teaming with one of the cheater group, "Crushed by opponents" does not really cut it, haha 😄

[zealous pulsar]

[glad ore]

Buff revolver hipfire; nerf FCAR in a way that matters; make pyro grenades explode on contact with an enemy shield.

[winter abyss]

dam now every rank game feels terrible for solo, and no point in playing solo when as long as you win first round you rank up. sucks I cant enjoy solo Qing anymore ..........

[daring fossil]

playstation users have gotten 3 exclusive skin bundles already, but we finally get one and console users are rioting lol

[rustic tusk]

Just want to say the challenger circuit of "win 1 tournament" is such crap since the last two tournaments I played had cheaters

[kind light]

having in-game LFG option would be great!

[bitter delta]

I suggest making a new mode with a new idea: a random change of the player's class and weapons. for example: a player kills an opponent and his class changes (for example, from heavy to light) and his weapon changes, not the one he has in the setup. the mode can be made 1v1v1v1v1 and the meaning will be like quick cash

[flat solstice]

Slug shotty is still bad after buff. Not viable for ranked. Needs 2 more bullets, or a faster reload time.

[balmy compass]

Tf you on about? Winning only round 1 does not rank you up. Not even gold get rank up for getting knocked out in round 2, it's rank down. What are you, bronze? In that case I can see it but even Dia getting ranked down losing finals.

[scenic raptor]

There could be a indicative of which type of animation it is.
For instance, the new bundle has the Combat Clap. But we're unable to know right away if it's a deploy, tactical animation, empty reload or inspect. In some cases it's obivious, but in these new bundles I was confused if the animation was bugging since it was not looping. I only discovered it was a deploy animation when went to equipment and checked the FCAR animation's tab

[lilac summit]

I second this

[compact fossil]

more robust reporting features

[viral light]

BUFF DAGGER

[grave sierra]

the default inspect animation looks cool, but all my customizations are in the left side of the gun, so looking at my weapon is kinda boring coz its missing most of my customizations unless i use the prime time inspect anim, which looks fine just not as snazzy of an animation for most.
i suggest like, more sticker slots in weapons, at least 2, for extra sticker placements on the left and the right side.

[oak shuttle]

why after the third round i still down rank?

[mystic radish]

Yeah this makes way more sense. Didn't mean to make it seem like I was asking for some extreme quake lightning gun level buff, but yeah I see where I was wrong. It's just the unpredictability and inconsistency of the recoil that mainly bothers me, and I do understand how damage falloff is important in this game.

[stuck forum]

Day 90 of asking for tiered unranked tournament to return 🙇🏻‍♀️

make a new channel on discord to list all cheater names so they can be viewed by game moderators/admins as clearly reporting isnt doing anything and hasnt been for a couple weeks now, or fix the report section in game : )

[lucid solar]

Please make Gungame mode with 5 sec respawn. This would be really cool so you can balance progression with placing weapons in a right order (the harder should be in the end)

[rose citrus]

Hello, just want to give a little feedback on this game, i have smth to say about last patch and about some problems. after last patch(2.3.0) the game crashes so often, but the main problems are the cheaters, i liked the game so much and play since the release in december 2023, but lat days there is a huge problem i play ranked today, in 7 games 4 was with cheaters, yesterday from 3 games 2 was with cheats. it is impossible to play game now. i'll quit for now and be waiting an update for anticheat.

[terse lark]

please nerf Fcar fire rate and revert damage drop off nerfs. Famas is balanced to be a long range rifle but everyone still picks Fcar bc it's high accuracy and damage at range and it's solid fire rate and damage is still really good at close to medium range. it's all around still the most versatile and overall the best gun in the game.

Hello! Loving the game but this game NEEEEEEEDS team Deathmatch. All the game modes are filled with kill hungry players that don't play the objective and it ruins the experience for some. Not only would Team Deathmatch bring in new players, but it will help clean up all the other game modes. TDM is a must at this point

[deft moth]

Another TDM beggar, hey embark, add a TDM on custom matches to make these people happy so we can stop getting TDM requests

glad you guys are attempting to make your ranked match making system better but its actually somehow become infinitely worse with que times...at least if you are silver 1 or below without friends to play with and forced to solo que (like me) you can't even play the game anymore... from 12am-sometime in the afternoon i have to wait over 25+ just to get into a game (if I'm lucky and patient enough) only to lose with teammates aimlessly running around doing their own thing.
i'd rather get stomped by top100 players every other game than sit in que's for unreasonable amounts of time in the hopes i find a match just to still get a L.
forget about new game types, new maps, new skins, or anything else new and fix whats already in place. i promise you 90% of anyone else new attempting to solo que and going thro what i have just to get to silver 1 will uninstall your game... half of this problem is due to a declining/lack of player base and you cannot attract new players if they cant play the game.
if this doesnt get fixed no matter how much i actually really enjoy playing your game i currently can't so whats the point of trying. i havent gotten a single match since around 12am last night (before the update). currently in another 30+min solo que at silver 1. its actually insane.
STOP PUSHING NEW CONTENT AND FIX WHATS ALREADY IN PLACE! PLEASE I BEG YOU!

Gotta wait another week for a potential 93R / Knives buff? 😔 Aside from that, the queue times are pretty long, even in quickplays at times only for a teammate to leave.

kind of insane the fcar was not nerfed in an actual meaningful way in this patch

[iron saddle]

Hey guys, what do u think about this idea; instead of "no gravity" for like minutes nonstop, they could change that no gravity event to be, well... still no gravity, but like in a dynamic way. Let's say the event lasts 3 minutes, no gravity should apply like every 10-20 seconds for only like 3-5 seconds. The way ni gravity is implemented now is for 80% of the player-base, annoying. Everything I play with ppl and the no gravity event starts, we all complain about it, no matter who I'm playing with, we always feel the same way, and it's the feeling of being annoyed by it. My suggestion of the no gravity implementation will have less annoyance as it isn't continuous. I believe it will cause non scripted funny and hectic moments people don't expect to happen, it's a very dynamic implementation of the no gravity event.

Added an end-of-match screen to indicate the change in rank

Expectations of the return of the progress display by rank did not meet the reality. Now we are shown only "arrows" with an increase or decrease in rank. This system has become only half clear. Yes, we can see what is happening with our rank, but why not return the past display of rank progress? It is as clear and simple as possible.

[thorn charm]

Does anyone else think that the slug shooty is kinda trash?

[balmy compass]

They "explained" why. Some kind of abuse. While I agree with you it's still bad that is the reason they gave without any further explanation.

[bright sage]

I've become really frustrated with ranked lately. I've been stuck in gold 2 this whole season, no matter what I do. Won 3 tournaments in a row, only to afterwards get paired up with bronze players who barely had a KDR of 0,1. How am I supposed to rank up when I'm constantly paired with people who are way lower skill level than most of the players in the lobby?

[daring fossil]

can we get assists for when we do 99% of the damage to an enemy and then a 3rd party shows up takes one shot and then takes the kill credit. I love doing 343 damage to a heavy and then it being stolen and getting nothing for it.

Also the deal 2500 damage to opponents with fire contract I'm fairly certain isn't tracking correctly. I've hit probably 20 people with a fire grenade and only done 305 damage according to the contract, and one of those the dude stood in it long enough for him to die from almost full health. Running through my own fire does like 40 damage and throwing on on the floor in the range seems to match on the dummy, so by that metric, I've only hit 7.5~ people with fire, which there is no way. Also hitting someone with a fire grenade or a fire barrel should light them on fire like the flame thrower. It should do the 40 damage minimum and then burning damage for a couple seconds.

We have to talk about the sticker placement on some guns. It might be a minor topic for some people but if I'm grinding for the diamond sticker I actually want to be able to see it on my gun. On guns like the fcar or the lewis the stickers are only visible from very certain angles. Please consider putting them somewhere on the gun where I can actually see it ♥️

[quick coyote]

Snipers need to go. Everything feels competitive and balanced until you get sniped by some boring camper one mile away, especially after you just clutched a 1v3. Love this game but it's so annoying and with the amount of aimbot cheaters it just doesn't have a place in a competitive game like this.

Also: do something about cheaters. Start charging to play, a small one time fee will keep many cheaters away. F2P is a cheater's paradise. Got banned? Make a new account. EZ. 🥲

[fleet panther]

Yo I'm so confused. I just watched a guy in plat 4 finish last place 3rd round and get 2 ^ and then a guy in plat 2 finish last place 3rd round and get minus 1 arrow.

Are the ranks really that brutally different???

I'd give this game all of my money if i could but i can't so. 10/10 i think you should add endorsing to the game for a little extra xp and so you know how well you did in the game

[wary bear]

so I just played a ranked in which in the first knock out round a teammate left. We manage to clutch a pass on the first round them second we get eliminated but I still show that I went "down" rankwise ???? Explanation?

[devout fiber]

What the hell are you talking about? There’s no diamond flamethrower in the battle pass

[static steeple]

Hey embark I had the coolest idea, what if you introduced a "load out token" for your ranked tournaments. The way I'm imagining it, you only get 1 token for the entire tournament but you can only use it in between matches. It'll help the game feel more strategic as you go down the tournament and make the final match promote more collaboration with your teammates

[daring fossil]

consoles, PS specifically has already had at least 3 exclusive bundles...

@stoic spade there is no diamond flame thrower in the season 2 battlepass. there isn't even a flamethrower skin in the battlepass.

[junior dawn]

remove flamethrower. it takes no skill. remove friendly fire. nobody likes it

[balmy compass]

Lmao I'm in the exact same boat except I've ranked up to Gold 1 TWICE but afterwards I just get same as you. Matched with literal bots, lose like 3-4 games first round even with 10:1 KD I can't carry people that play TDM/FFA instead of the objective. It's just impossible. I'd recommend you either get a group in LFG or you add people you enjoyed playing with to friends. Even if they aren't in vc or anything then just invite them, even for duo, to play ranked with. At least you get 50% better chance at winning 😄 (I don't follow my own advice much)
However if you do wanna take my advice feel free to add me. I tend to play quite a lot but sometimes I can't group because of kids. ForemostGamer#0036

Errrrr uhhh add mnk to uhhh console please?? Look embark I love you guys but doing something as simple as adding mnk to console (something you already had before) shouldn't be difficult for you.

There’s far too many inconsistencies within the game. Whether it be bugged heal beams, bugged mines, bugged pyro etc. It’s almost every game something is going to happen that goes against what you expect it to.

[terse lark]

please nerf Fcar fire rate and revert damage drop off nerfs. Famas is balanced to be a long range rifle but everyone still picks Fcar bc it's high accuracy and damage at range and it's solid fire rate and damage is still really good at close to medium range. it's all around still the most versatile and overall the best gun in the game.
if it got a fire rate nerf it would still be good at medium to long range but struggle at close range; leading people to pick the akm for its large mag and good close to medium damage as well as the famas for people who want a gun with good medium to long range capabilities while not as weak in close range fights.
each rifle should shine at different aspects but the way the Fcar is now its too strong compared to the famas and the akm making it a no brainer pick in ranked

w the new equipment progression skins, i think it's fair if the gadgets that have skins to them, like the medigun and goo gun, to have the white skins that were missing from them, im assuming to keep all the gadgets w the same number of 5 unlockables, but with the new zebra skin that rules doesnt apply anymore, i think the medigun would look really neat white

[grizzled hornet]

The dagger in the finals, often wielded by top-tier players, has become a controversial topic in competitive gaming circles. Its overwhelming power and versatility have tilted the balance of the game, making it a focal point for frustration among both casual and professional players. With its ability to swiftly turn the tide of a match and dominate engagements, the dagger has become synonymous with an unfair advantage, undermining the integrity of the finals. Nerfing it into oblivion would restore equilibrium, allowing for more diverse strategies and skillful gameplay to shine through.

Furthermore, the dominance of the dagger in the finals has stifled innovation and creativity in gameplay. Players are forced into a narrow meta where success often hinges on securing the dagger rather than employing strategic ingenuity. By nerfing the dagger into oblivion, game developers would encourage players to explore alternative tactics and weapons, revitalizing the competitive scene and fostering a more dynamic and engaging experience for both players and spectators alike. In doing so, the finals would become a showcase of skill, adaptability, and creativity, rather than a mere contest of who can wield the most powerful weapon.

[modest shuttle]

Remove leaver penalty in ranked when you don't have 3 players
You shouldn't be penalised for not wasting your own time.
I started a ranked game with only 2 players because one was immediately disconnected from the game and never made it in.
The second player then D/C'd about 3 minutes into the game after feeding solo for the full 3 minutes.
I had to sit for 3 minutes on my own in a game I had absolutely zero chance of progressing in, just because of a leaver penalty.

[vernal path]

This! 👆

[oak kernel]

I gotta be real. I haven't seen a dagger in forever so idk where this is coming from.

[visual bronze]

pls change reaked penaltys its so demotivating to get set back after power or internet goes out maybe if it ramps up the more you do it the more you get hit with penaltys

[thin nest]

Probably beating the dead horse here, but it needs to be said:

-Since season 2 came out, I have been spawned to oblivion when cashouts are in progress, like my team gets wiped but we have cashout, a fight breaks out so it is still ours, then we just get spawned like 150m away. Final cashout, getting spawned 200m away is all too common. Happens all the time it seems. Feels like a bug, definitely cannot be intentional because it ruins any chance of coming back in those games and makes them really unfun.
-Ranked matchmaking is HORRENDOUS. Why do I get a gold and silver teammate against full diamond teams consistently? Every lobby just looks like a mishmash of all ranks. Don't allow 3 diamonds to queue together if you are just going to put them up against golds, it's simply unfair.
-As I'm sure you know, cheating is a plague in this game. It feels like every high elo game I play I go up against at least one blatant cheater. Like 100% headshot at any range cheater, something the systems should be able to auto detect. I come from Rust, so I know that's easier said than done, but in a highly competitive fast paced shooter, it needs to be addressed more seriously (IP / hardware bans).

I wanted to point these out here because these three issues alone are ruining the game for me. I want to play, but every time I do, I run into one of these if not all of them and they are each something I feel like the vast majority of the player-base would agree with as something very wrong with the game.

[silver forge]

This is bait, right?

[untold estuary]

Is the game planning on doing something against cheaters? Because last few times we played, it is almost impossible to get a game without a cheater on plat/diamond elo

Fix and review clothes

•Not being able to wear watches with certain gloves/clothing (like the masked mogul) is ridiculous

○Tattoos and face paint should have their own categories
○Glasses and masks should have their own categories
○Faces and special characters should have their own categories

•You should be able to disable clothing extra/color effects
•Some clothing/accessories glitch through other clothes
•More compatibility for headwear and facewear
•Add outfits

[manic prairie]

Have to give some critics, that ranked "meter" is totally pointless.... i can imagine if i win 2 it gives 2 if 3 it give 3 🙄 still doesn't tell when i go in new rank.

[balmy compass]

Because the arrows just show how much it adds/removes to your rank. It doesn't "fill up". That much is obvious if you get bots and lose 2 first round it's still only 1 arrow down. However if you perform spectacularly poor you get multiple arrows down. E.g I had one game where for some reason my team mates decided to kill me all the time and play duo. So I had 0 dmg, 0 elims, 0 support and 0-9 deaths because cba to even try when they killed me less than 20s into the match. I got double arrow down that game and next, single arrow.

[warm hazel]

guys what does that mean if i just got plat 4, and winning another game with 3 bars?

[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.

Part2 and that’s all

If a class would get a Bow & Arrow weapon who would it be?

Personally I think the light class could get it and temporarily removed the sniper from the game. I'm a light main but the sniper kinda makes things a lil less fun. For the rest of the lobby, idk.

A bow with a projectile arrow with high damage and "bullet drop" might be a fun and challenging weapon. Especially when combined with the specializations.

Yh Amazing right. Was dia 3 yesterday had 10 wins in a row. Today i lost 4 rounds in a row. BUT 2 of them were in the final round and the other 2 in the second round. IM dia 4 now (: AMAZING SYSTEM was close to dia 2 and from final loses im dia 4. WORST ranked system ever. Bro i get 18k combat score minimum every game most games 22k-+ with 15k support score. I cant do more im not superman wtf does this game expect. ARE 10 wins a row and good performance not aenough to rank up. Not only THAT i lose more points than i win from 4 loses. Dude IT MAKES NO SENSE. Your brain is skill issue you dont know how a proper ranked system works lmao. I have 1400 wins and 640 loses btw i win most of my games so that cant be it @stark maple Yh at this point it doesnt even matter if you win i think i lost points sometimes after wins. Bugged system. you have to win 15 games and only lose 2 games to rank up hmm pretty good system. +

It seems like rank is dependant on your performance, atleast it feels like it. I'm constantly going up in diamond while finishing in 2nd round too, so it is... skill issue
While last season it entirely depended on placement (which was far from good), it seems to take into action how you are personally doing, would love to know if it is the case or not, it does feel like it though.

'0. GENERAL CHANGES

0.23. Add "Random" option to 'Weapon Animations'
Basically, as the title of this point suggests, simple. There are different weapon animations:

• 'Deployment' → when you draw the weapon
• 'Tactical Reload' → when the weapon still has a round in the chamber
• 'Empty Reload' → when you need to reload because the weapon is empty
• ’Inspection' → to visually inspect the weapon

I propose adding the "Random" option to these animations, so in addition to more realism and variety, players who have accumulated more animations over time will get even more benefit from this section.

I could add a point 0.24 suggesting the same for the 'Expressions' section of the Contestant editor, but I don't think it makes as much sense here... although if they also add it, having the option and not the obligation is always a positive thing for the player.

More feedback in an almost 60-page document on Google Drive, where many of the ideas from players of all types are gathered, some of them World Top 500, and some even from the World Top 10.

Invis light being the favorite choice of the skill-less players in pubs. It’s to a point where you’ll have games entirely dominated by invis lights. Something must be done.

Day 5 of Asking The Finals to add CD/DVD Skin to Throwing Knives

[limpid lava]

Solo queueing has proven to be a really big challenge.
I'm constantly paired with other people that don't talk - fine,
and people who don't understand the game mode - less fine,
or people who don't seem to play with the same skill level as me - frustrating.

Stats alone do not reflect how much someone contributed... but in nearly every ranked game I have the highest combat score, and one of the highest support or objective scores... in the **entire **lobby. I'm also very aware of the meta game, and play my role well... but climbing solo is near-impossible.

When I have played with other people, games are shockingly easy to win in gold... yet when playing solo it feels like the odds are stacked against me.

2- lose first round 4th place, one arrow down
3- lose first round 4th place, one arrow down
4- semi final, 3 arrows up - silver 1

[upper citrus]

this. but only after they nerf the last 4 standout items. Fcar, Lewis, RPG, and Dome Shield. Also, they should be sure to not remove the weaknesses of weapons while buffing them, as that’s what has led to the awful meta that’s barely moved since cb1

[iron saddle]

Another suggestion/idea; why not create more types of barrels? Wouldn't it be awesome if we had some more options besides the 3 types of barrels we have atm? I feel like this is such a sandbox-style game, and this idea would even amplify it further.

2 types of barrels that come to my mind is the first being; an ice barrel. If you let the barrel explode at the ground, ice is being form there, and if you step on it, you gain a huge speed boost, just as if u were ice-skating. However, if it explodes onto another player, the player freezes a bit and gets slowed because he just literally froze!

2nd barrel idea; the "wind" barrel? I know it's a terrible name, but the premise would be, that on impact, if it explodes near a player, be get like shoved back for 5-10 meters? What could be a usefull mechanic with this barrel is to shove mines away from a specific place, or have turrets displaced.

Anyways, what do u guys think about that idea? I really think it's worth exploring to have more types of barrels and ways/strats to play the game, double down on the sandbox gameplay loop!

I hope embarks sees my suggestion, I really think there's so much potential to the suggestions I gave. Anyways, I'm in love with the game in the state that it's already in, but I'd love to see this game grow to an fps staple!

[swift crater]

need more headwear's like the bamboo brawler, neeed me a cat version

[gentle token]

add a combine charger outfit for heavy

[low estuary]

agreed ! it would be so fun to have more occasion to play with the environment and i think it could bring more casual players

[prisma relic]

make melee not useless LMAO whats the point if it does 1pt of damage or doesnt stun them

[elfin plank]

just discovered something i'm not sure is intentional game design or a bug. if you are in a low gravity event, use a jump pad, and the low gravity event ends while youre in mid-air, you immediately lose ALL your momentum

[inland shadow]

Give heavy a mini gun as a specialization instead of goo gun

[unique nimbus]

omfg this is getting annoying. Yea please fix the bug of mission not working when change your class during a match the daily challenge of "play x amount of games as Y class" doesn't count.

[twilit hollow]

So, we went out in 3rd round, KD 23/7, high support and objective score as well and I get arrow down to the next rank? What the fuck?

[vernal swallow]

we need the minigun, I think every heavy main has asked for this in the game feedback at this point and tbh I’m all here for it, whole point of heavy is supposed to be suppression and defence/destruction and this would fit so well especially if it did good arena damage too

[golden harbor]

Lower the amount of penality with "leaving" ranked match as there are people who is getting kicked because of your anti-cheat and maximum would be just an hour, not higher

[severe wave]

yh i get 3 arrows down for final round loses lol it doesnt matter anymore. Embark created the worst ranked system. Never saw something that bad in 10 years playing shooter games @normal locust No season 1 ranked was too easy. I JUST want a balanced ranked. Like for example if you get kicked out in the second round you lose points. But in the third and aftewr you dont lose points because it takes alot of effort to get there. third round should be like neutral or just a bit points. A final round lose or win should give tons of points. BUT IN THIS DAMN SYSTEM YOU LOSE POINTS IN THE FINAL ROUND. I lost the maximum points in the final round today WHY do i even play 1 hour if i have to win 3 times as much just to compensate for some loses. Those loses were like 1 hour playtime sweating my ass off. WOrst ranked system ever

[slender fractal]

This is kinda scam, the emote is legendary at the bundle but not at the costumization

[patent socket]

fix the nasty amount of lag

[novel surge]

nerf light its so broken thanks

[grizzled hornet]

Nerf your skill issue 🙏

[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

[tough willow]

I really want to love this game, but as fun as a Light dash sword is, as fun as fortifying cash outs, or destroying buildings is, the ranked meta excludes all of that entirely. In competitive play this game boils down to killing people as fast as possible with the FCAR or Lewis gun. There is no room to use all the fancy game mechanics that makes The Finals unique. In the end, it is really played like a very generic shooter, and it's not even a good shooter. The shooting mechanics are too arcadey and simplistic, to offer much exploration or development there. So, I've finally bought Helldiver's 2. It doesn't have a sword dash or portals or any of that other stuff, but what it does have, you actually get to use in real games. I'm not done with The Finals yet, but I think I'm going to be here much less often now. Good luck.

[amber sage]

Does bro want a outro sequence?

[normal locust]

yeah in season 1 was fine with ranked system. only issue was the cheater. but i guess embark loves to create new problems or good at killing the potential game.

[tender sail]

I just spawned next to 2 teams. Fix the spawns

[smoky gust]

"light is not an issue"
-sincerely, a light main

I have yet to see someone defending cloak in a way that doesn't just boil down to "you're bad" and actually tries to address our arguments

[still thorn]

just started this week,the pace of it reminds me of apex, but i think that taking breaks in between games is goood, with all the stuff we as players have to pay attention too, i like it so far 🙂

[maiden willow]

Love the game, awesome and all, but please either fix your servers or game or add the option to reconnect to an ongoing game. I have been timed out multiple times for simply staring at a black screen for 10 minutes, without nothing happening. Something like the CS2 or LOL system where if you leave you always have the option to comeback.

[vernal swallow]

next update make a new discord channel where at the end of the week at usual update time the whole discord can vote on/come up with ideas for a new outfit/gun skin

[swift crater]

some changes to the dag i think would be good,
make it so the front face right click does 3 bars instead of 2, to make fk ups feel alil less punishing the fact they do the same dmg is crazy to me, and as an extra, not 100% on this one but make left click back stabs do 3 instead of 2, would feel like i need to play around with how this feels to know if it would be ok, mainly worried about how taking out other lights might be too fast but then again if they have a stun gun and hit u with it, u still fked anyway lol

[cosmic pond]

How tf does the ranking work?!?!?! I'm D3 and lost in the second round and went up by 1 bar. Then because my team mate disconnected we lost in the third round next ranked game but instead of going up it went DOWN BY 2 BARS?!?!?! SORRY BUT WHAT IS THIS LOGIC?!?!

[clear fog]

Please add UI and objective icons transparency slider . 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[twilit hollow]

Appreciate it Embark. Lost in 3rd round 2 times in row and got arrow down and even dropping in the leaderboard by like 70 places. Working as intended.

[upper citrus]

absolutely could be working as intended if you were one of the higher average ranked teams in the lobby. idk why people are mad that the ranked system is finally not just an hour counter

[muted wasp]

The sniper def needs a higher skill floor, this is not a bad idea

[vale acorn]

A barrel with a black hole in it, oil slick barrel, barrels full of bees

[terse lark]

please nerf Fcar fire rate and revert damage drop off nerfs. Famas is balanced to be a long range rifle but everyone still picks Fcar bc it's high accuracy and damage at range and it's solid fire rate and damage is still really good at close to medium range. it's all around still the most versatile and overall the best gun in the game.
if it got a fire rate nerf it would still be good at medium to long range but struggle at close range; leading people to pick the akm for its large mag and good close to medium damage as well as the famas for people who want a gun with good medium to long range capabilities while not as weak in close range fights.
each rifle should shine at different aspects but the way the Fcar is now its too strong compared to the famas and the akm making it a no brainer pick in ranked

[eternal kayak]

Damn I didn’t know everyone chose light in the entire lobby because of my skill? I didn’t recognize my power. I regularly beam lights especially in ranked. I’m saying in pubs they are becoming overly popular because of the crutch of invisibility. I’m not saying they’re constantly killing me just invisibility is becoming a crutch. If the place that has the most new players are constantly running it then new players probably find it easier to use. At the same time I can see how a fully lobby of invis lights will turn new players off. Like I say I rarely play pubs but I’m giving my opinion based on what I see that may make it better for everyone.

Make keyboard and mouse compatible with ps5

[daring fossil]

this. the amount of people that asked for a proper ranked system and are now bitching because they don't understand how elo systems work is absolutely astonishing.

[tender sail]

Cashouts need to be changed entirely. They need to be made so at every 1/4 interval whoever owns it gets 1/5 of the money, then whoever owns it at the end gets the remaining 2/5. Currently it's a game of "whoever turns up last wins" and I'm honestly done with it. Another player out of your count until I see this implemented.

[torn terrace]

the ranked progression bar dosent even make sence i just went down 1 bar after loosing in the final round how does that work haha is it even working properly or is the ranked system just that bad

[final robin]

I feel the famas should be the gun of choice for medium to long range and fcar if you want a close quarters gun, but the famas is just a bit too weak for that atm imo

[inland shadow]

Give heavy rocket jump

[mild wave]

Basically the same happened to me multiple times, Embark please make a comprehensible ranked system, it can't be that hard

[thick sorrel]

Explosive mines are super bad (only as Light of course). You can't hear them, you can't dodge, react what so ever. Free kill like Nuke, old RPG and takes no effort. Please do something!

• Better soundcue so you are aware.
• or nerf the damage
• or bring it down to 1 explosive mine

This is still a Shoooooter. Not Inspector Gadget Imposters.

[balmy compass]

The elo system might be fine but the matchmaking isn't. If the matchmaking was proper you wouldn't constantly be put together with x2 trash ranks to "balance" the team out and thus completely sh1tting on the one person being forced to try and carry 2 people that queue ranked but they're playing tdm/ffa instead. I can't remember playing a single game in the last decade or two that use this logic. The last time I had anything around this balance was CS 1.3 or something when it just threw people over to other team so it was 6v4 to "balance"

[warm frost]

nice rank update, gold matches 3 dimond and we reach final round. Just because we lost it I lose point with it! Very fair game

When will we be able to purchase individual items from a pack? it could cost more multi-bucks to buy individually, but there are some packs where you really just want one item, and don't want to get the entire pack.

Get rid of melee lock on, I have lost about three tournament rounds because of it, please make it your priority to remove because it is actual cancer when fighting

[nimble coral]

is the deal damage from 25 meters or less bugged? ive only been playing the light build on power shift and have been using the dagger. I have 2500/3000 damage for the "deal 3000 damage to opponents while standing on the platfrom" but that means i shoudl also have 2500 for the 25 meters or less

[agile hollow]

Should add ranked stats

[terse lark]

please nerf Fcar fire rate and revert damage drop off nerfs.

[willow leaf]

This entire game is just fighting invis losers and having everyone you kill get revived it sucks fix your game

[upper citrus]

🗣️🗣️🗣️

people will say “buff the other weapons instead” and completely miss the reason why fcar is so strong. the gun literally just has no relevant weaknesses. mag size hardly matters when you can always get a super fast kill before reloading. all the other primaries on medium are balanced around a relevant and important weakness or weaknesses besides the fcar. it needs a fire rate nerf and a 1 dmg nerf pretty badly to make the ammo count a real weakness.

[daring fossil]

how does that not make sense? you lost, so you lose elo, but since you made it to the finals, you only lose a little elo. your rank and the rank of your opponents and how well or bad you did individually also factors into whether you lose or gain and by how much. It's not really hard to comprehend.

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

@balmy compass that has nothing to do with the matchmaking, its due to player numbers. I'm sure it would be more balanced if more people were queuing ranked. 25,000 concurrent players on steam, there's maybe a couple hundred people playing ranked at any time and they are split between what like 3 or 4 different regions? since you used CS as a comparison, CS has a million concurrent players, thus better matchmaking. Also, 1.3 didn't have ANY matchmaking, if there was "auto-balancing" it was a server plugin that the admin installed, matchmaking wasn't really a thing in the 90s/early 2000s, you just joined a server filled with players of random skill levels. even with 1 mil players in CSGO I get low silvers or unranked on my team in high gold or higher ranks sometimes.

[rose snow]

The gesture function when selected does not work for me. But also the team intros when the game starts intros me with an animation i never chose. It defaults to another animation

[waxen hornet]

can i please get a block button without having to report in game I just dont want to necessarily play with those people again after a slog of tournament in soloq

[tardy crypt]

How is it fair facing full diamond teams as 2 silvers and 1 gold?

[balmy compass]

I didn't use CS as a comparison. I used CS from 25 years ago as a comparison for how well they are doing balancing which is not at all. You are most likely very correct that the few players make for the absolute horrible matchmaking to a large extent but it's clear that more people rather quit the game with fast queues and unwinnable games rather than having longer queues and actually having a decent match. I just got promoted than instantly demoted because I got matched with x2 throwers both leaving after first half round and then x2 low ranks playing tdm/ffa instead of objective. Me being highest rank in both teams as always. If I can't carry the matchmaking I get demoted. That is the game I'm playing right now.

[half igloo]

What happened

[daring fossil]

play during peak hours in your region for best results, like I keep saying 25000 players, with a fraction of them playing ranked, and those people all split over 4 regions, there's not enough players.

@balmy compass they are balancing based on skill and queue times. There really isn't anything Embark can do. queue times are already 5-10 minutes long in NA, it would be 30+ minutes for a game to have perfectly balanced teams with the tiny player base and nobody is going to wait that long. There's a reason I don't play ranked, my friends can't tolerate this game. I solo queued for 11 hours straight before I got team mates competent enough to help me win a tourney for the stupid contract.

[upper citrus]

the real issue with ranked isn’t matchmaking or the ranked system imo, it’s the tournament format. ranked would be so much better if it was a 1 round 3v3 first to 30k. they could bring back unranked tournament and give a weekly reward of 50 multibucks for winning one. imo this would fix so many issues with ranked

[orchid abyss]

DAY 5 of updating and sharing my feedback about the game to the devs in a big google docs. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZXv-knucg7a3zmLnR6XdTihPMGaz1-7Rk8AwcpBApno

[shy sphinx]

You're only counting pc players. Not sure what xbox n p s five counts for in addition, but there's definitely a healthy amount of those people too. So don't be like oh twenty five thousand whaaa it's prob 30 or 40k when steam is 24k.

[agile hollow]

Ranked games need to have less crazy rank differences

[sudden trail]

Some challenges should definitely be changed, overhauled and manipulation should be prevented. For example: ''Revive your teammate''
My 2 teammates who are friends literally just did not play the game and instead bombed each other and revived to complete the task. The game should notice this manipulation (MAYBE when a player takes damage only by their teammates for a certain amount time) and not allow the player to complete the challenge.
Also challenges that are encouraging players to team play should be increased. Players should not focus on having the most kills in a mode where you fight to be the one to deposit the vault. Challenges like these could be in Power Shift mode since it is the closest mode to team death match.

[empty bay]

Game audio from outside of a dome shield should be muffled when a player is standing inside of one. A small change but would create realism to the object and add a greater feeling of immersion to the game.

[cedar haven]

We shouldn’t have to be punished if a teammate leaves ranked, I went down a place because a teammate left.

it would be nice to have more options like this and please let us choose between them

too much lag ..plz fix

[shy sphinx]

Sword animation still broken. I've had multiple times where I quick. Dash a few and immediately do the right click jab An animation gets stuck in the jab. And I can't swing anymore even if I let go the mouse But i'm not lagging and everything else is working as normal. My animation is just my guy. Pointing the sword stuck on the screen as I run around without touch anything. After five or six seconds, it comes back and then I can do it again end up dying cause I can't swing So not sure if that's what resets it

[magic wing]

I can't leave the game voice chat. my voice chat is even disabled and I can still hear the other players talking, I had to manually set the audio to 0

[fluid anchor]

yeah it doenst make any sense, won a tournament (got 3 arrows) and then played other match to get eliminated on second round and it's 2 arrows now instead of closer to ranking up

[covert grail]

Love the game, first fps I have played seriously in quite a while. However, the technical issues are infuriating at times, especially when I get kicked for cheats in the middle of ranked. Constant crashes in loading screen between tournament rounds. In regards to gameplay, some heavy nerfs were needed, but I do belive you should buff/change some weapons to counter or not just make certain items useless. C4 is pretty much a no run, and thats a sham because the mechanic of putting them on site was fun for heavy, nukes were the biggest prob

[vagrant quest]

is it just me or has the input delay on console gotten worse since the start of season 2?
I feel like after the input lag fix mid-season 1, the game felt incredibly smooth and snappy, but not as nice when I came back in S2. still better than at the start, but definitely worse than it should be.
also, after the win animation at the end of power shift, you can feel the game suddenly lose all input lag for the duration of the blurred screen and text. seems like the game is running slower than it's supposed to.

[iron bough]

Finally, someone says it... Is it investor money season? Perhaps they did it to momentarily boost ranked players.

[brittle goblet]

Store update is hot garbo this week, they've been doing great recently, but certainly not this week.

[jagged pilot]

why does powershift count towards my rank?

[violet elbow]

The weekly challenge being to win a tournament is good, please make more actually difficult challenges and add more cosmetics that are at least somewhat prestige, not everyone needs to own every cosmetic and I think the fact that you need to do more difficult/time consuming stuff is fine.

whether or not this challenge needed to be in the first real circuit is a different topic id say, but dont remove these kinda actually difficult challenges just because people want everything handed to them, prestige rewards are a good thing

again mightve been better to put them into a later circuit, but its prolly just an unfortunate byproduct of the normal tourney removal + the way circuit challenges are lined up

[ivory isle]

Because ur that good

[faint shoal]

C4 count back to 2

[iron charm]

Invis is the most annoying shit in this game that ruins enjoyment. Idk how it's balanced it's just annoying to play against

[silver copper]

these powershift challenge have to be the worst thought up concepts of all time. people who arent doing the challenging are just farming people on the challenge. the best way to deal with them is to not do the challenge and fight off the payload. its a painful grind that doesnt involve solid gameplay and it hurts to play this game while doing this.

[fringe burrow]

damn I just saw the bundle they dropped and I want that chicken from the bundle, but I absolutely hate the outfit, can we please have a way to purchase individual bits even if its a 'bad deal' compared to buying the bundle?

[indigo grail]

please make fire from barrels and grenades do burning damage like the flame thrower. Hitting someone directly with a fire grenade only to do 40 damage is hella painful to get this 2500 fire damage contract done, I really hate playing heavy.

[drowsy vector]

I’m glad we still have the challenger circuit, because damn, this was the easiest and fastest battle pas I ever had. Hope it will be really challenging though!

[sick pier]

^ Remove invis and replace it with something else

[upper citrus]

nerf fcar fire rate.

it’s the only weapon on medium that’s viable in ranked because it completely eclipses the other weapons. makes the meta extremely boring and stale

recoil nerfs don’t do anything. especially given the fact this game has recoil smoothing. the gun is still objectively the best medium weapon but just feels worse to use. meaning more people just have to deal with a gun that feels worse now because it’s far more viable competitively. the weapon doesn’t really have a relevant downside. ammo hardly matters when you can kill a class in one clip easily and only have to reload after they’re dead

[sudden geyser]

cloak is whatever for me......its the damn tazer that keeps me up at night lol

[vague sigil]

im gold 2… 41,717 in the world & im playing against top 10 in the world, top 15 in the world & someone else top 100 or so in the world. this is genuinely annoying. (not even first time ive played against top 500 in the world in even the last couple hours. probably a 50/50 chance at least one person in any of the 4 rounds is top 500…. why… just why)

[lilac grail]

Gold 2 is a fairly high rank given the current player population. Don't let people tell you "gold is mid, its not that hard". Because of the size of the player base there are basically two "brackets" for ranked right now. Bronze thru Mid Gold and then Gold thru Diamond. And even then it prioritizes queue times > balanced matchmaking.

The worst part is its a self-defeating system. As more people get more frustrated with rank due to the wide range of skill in "ranked" matchmaking they will simply stop playing ranked. Making the population smaller, and thus making the issue even worse with time.

[empty bay]

Players skins/abilities should be displayed longer before the start of a match. Each team at the beginning of a round is displayed for what, 2 seconds? That doesn’t leave someone enough time to admire a players creative style or in-game ability.

I think players would find a higher incentive to buy props and skins if they were displayed in a different fashion, whether it’s a slightly longer intro scene or a different intro scene as a whole.

[bitter tangle]

DAY 20 OF ASKING FOR A GRAPHICAL PERFORMANCE MODE!!

Can we make this happen? 😄

[storm salmon]

What is that ranked progress supposed to be? I still dont know if I'm close to the next one or not like season 1. It's obvious that I gain much progress by rank 1 and so on, noone needs the arrows for that.

[jagged cedar]

meta in ranked is ratting

[sleek blade]

So basically I want oyecomovas from jjba ability in game for med allowing them to turn anything into time bombs with discernable pins on them

[severe wave]

its the shiitiest system ever created no ranked system is a bad as embarks. Embark always does it extreme. Season 1 was too easy and season 2 is only about wins which is stupid. I had 10 wins yesterday and lost 5 today and got deranked like went from top 700 too top 1400. Btw 2 from those loses were final rounds. This system from Embark works in games like rainbow not in a game where its 4 fk rounds which take 1 hour to play like wtf is embark doiing

[late mortar]

Season 1 ranked system was already good enough for some reason they decided to be weird and hide the scores

[grave reef]

since when are you loosing your rank after loosing at 2nd round?

[daring fossil]

yep, literally the taser is the only thing in this game that makes me angry consistently, and I run it too, but I don't crutch on it like 99% of lights. I use it to stop steals, escape hairy situations, or if I'm low health and being chased. I might use it once every 30 games to open a fight, cuz I happened to have it out when I saw someone. I can't believe 99% of lights open just about every fight with the stun gun and embark seems to think its fine. Needs to be reverted back to CB2 state so it's an actual utility and not a crutch.

@storm salmon yeah, its a hybrid hidden elo system, arrows just tell you more clearly if you're gaining or losing and whether its a little or a lot but no indication when you're going to rank up or down. before, you just knew if you were gaining or losing (most of the time) just by if you win or lose, the new system doesn't really give you all the much more information. they need to just show people their actual elo and how much they gain or lose, or just have a normal hidden elo system like CSGO had when you're just left in guessing 100% of the time.

@late mortar season 1 ranked system was trash and basically based off of play time, now it's basically the same system as every other ranked game.

@violet rover sounds like it's working as intended, you probably won against players lower than your rank, and then lost against players lower than your rank.

[drowsy vector]

This new arrows thing they added only adds to the confusion. Like, what in the hell does it suppose to mean. I liked season 1 ranked as well

[violet rover]

game rank is bugged won finals once than lost in the final and got demoted and minus points pls fix rank or stop rank untill fixed

@daring fossil if that is intended they should stop develop games bc thats a broken system nothing else im in the final round and make big- you cant do that if you mm cant match me against some one my rank

[hard anvil]

hey guys when i redeemed the discord gift skin, my game doesn't open more. Same one with this problem?

[faint shoal]

C4 count back to 2

[velvet hearth]

The Famas is still trash as long as they don't increase its damage at range. FCAR is better at range. AK is still better at medium range for anyone good at recoil patterns. The only thing the Famas has is great dispersion when not ADS and that's not worth a lot.

[wispy vapor]

I played against that guy named daddy 2 timed and he is obviously cheating, anybody know him?

[visual bronze]

please remove the sniper in power shift it ruins the fun of it entirely

[formal kayak]

Ranked system is bad, they need to revert it back to season 1. The indicator is not accurate and can never know how close you are to ranking up

[quick coyote]

I love the finals

[stray basalt]

The funny thing is that people were crying for ranked in season 1 to be improved and now people want it to reverted. 😂

[lilac grail]

The people that were crying left the game unfortunately. So while the new ranked system is better in theory, the intial population that would have been able to support it is gone.

[iron hinge]

whats so wrong with knowing exactly where you stand in ranked? this is just annoying.

[pseudo latch]

Day 25 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

[copper steeple]

How do I get the quest for the skill issue set I have quest on and it's not in my gift inventory or above my name. I'm on the PC version of Discord and I already tried to restart discord

Stun gun shouldn't disable everything except the main weapon, or it shouldn't last as long. the slowed movement is already enough of a penalty for getting hit with it that one of the two mentioned things should change

embark please don't listen to a goomba just optimize n fix bugs

[storm salmon]

@daring fossil I can't find your message in chat again and my internet just went down for no reason lol

Even if it may be logical for the elo system that you can lose elo as 2nd in the tournament, for most people it would be a frustrating experience cause it feels like you'd get punished for winning if you know what I mean. If they want a system like that, they'd need to prioritize elo over short queue times to avoid large gaps (which embark should do in general imo, I'd rather wait 10 mins than wait 3 and get insanely clapped by 3 diamonds in gold)

But I guess the player base is just too low for that looking at steamcharts

@lilac grail well the game rn has a playercount just as low as 2/3 weeks ago at the end of season 1. Without the necessary amount of players even the best ranked system wont work and the game will die. Cheaters, weird balancing and getting matched with enemies that sometimes are 9 ranks above you drives many people away.

[upper citrus]

the famas is only bad because it’s niche (long range) is entirely taken by the fcar while the fcar is also great at medium and close range. only with the “””weakness””” of low ammo count. embark please nerf fcar in a meaningful way

[swift crater]

bros rly put some thought into this

[subtle tree]

Maybe ranked play should be restricted longer, or should require a certain number of cashout games (or unranked if they bring that back).

Honestly think one of the most toxic things in this game is people watching you get defibbed back in so they can shoot you immediately. Even if you know they’re there and are facing them, they’ve already lined up the headshot and you’re dead before you can move a step. I much preferred it the old way where you could maybe move during your few milliseconds of invulnerability

[quick bobcat]

it's freaking stupid, I can't believe they wasted their time doing that. The idea is to know how close or far away we are from next rank

[supple aspen]

bring back the normal tournament. not everyone has time and energy to tryhard in ranked. some people just want to enjoy the game

[raw stag]

Ranked system kinda trash, team became second in the tournament, next game, we lose the round, and lost all the ranked progress. Doesnt make sense

[sacred zodiac]

Day 74 of asking for a sensitivity setting while holding mesh shield.

[dire solstice]

RANKED give little to no feedback. not everyone has time OR friends for them ranked tournaments. bring back normal tournaments

[subtle tree]

"I only want to play ranked if I will achieve a high rank." That's what everybody here complaining sounds like.

Just play the game and have a good time. Most players will not win a majority of their tournaments, and most players will be lower rank.

@quick coyote (Reply to below) It shows, either children, or gen z. Growing up with participation trophies will ruin a person.

@raven holly (Reply to below) Season 1 ranked was literally not ranked, we were just earning season points.

@little tiger (Reply to below) No. People need to quit asking for this. The devs want you to play the game they built.

[raven holly]

The new ranked UI is god awful. It's genuinely a joke. How do you take a good feature from Season 1 and completely remove it? It doesn't tell you how close you are to ranking up, or how much elo you gained/lost. It only tells you if you gained or lost in general lol. The UI (and ranked system as a whole) was already lackluster and barebones. How does it get worse? It hurts to see this game continue to fumble over and over.

[little tiger]

Small request here from casual players is it possible for one of the contracts in the challenger circut which is win a tournament be replaced with something else. I have tried to que for one in Australia but the ranked que times are not great and winning a whole tournament is even harder than finding one in the first place

[gritty peak]

who is the dev that made it to the update, when you fall off the map and use the goo grenade you still move and die instantly?
like guys bring this back to normal.

[subtle copper]

fix the spawns, they've been broken since the start of season 2 and they're still terrible with this update. you'll spawn across the map from the only cashout, enemies will spawn behind you, etc. you'll either have the easiest game as your enemies keep spawning across the map and fighting each other or you'll be bogged down unable to reach a single cashout

Cosmetics suggestions:

1. Allow players to wear watch on one hand and bracelets on the other
2. Allow dresses with long sleeves to be tucked in or out, to cover or reveal watches & body paints on the arm or not
3. Allow outfits with hoodies to be put on head or laid down, to use with headwear
4. Add watch & bracelet support for the 90% of gloves that don’t have it yet, let them be worn over the gloves if needed

[mossy rose]

No games

[terse lark]

please nerf Fcar fire rate and revert damage drop off nerfs. Famas is balanced to be a long range rifle but everyone still picks Fcar bc it's high accuracy and damage at range and it's solid fire rate and damage is still really good at close to medium range. it's all around still the most versatile and overall the best gun in the game.
if it got a fire rate nerf it would still be good at medium to long range but struggle at close range; leading people to pick the akm for its large mag and good close to medium damage as well as the famas for people who want a gun with good medium to long range capabilities while not as weak in close range fights.
each rifle should shine at different aspects but the way the Fcar is now its too strong compared to the famas and the akm making it a no brainer pick in ranked

[little quarry]

but do you want to nerf the light and the light's weapons that are disgustingly broken? Do we still have to keep these noobs who want to be pro players with broken weapons? we can't stand seeing all these lights anymore, they just ruin everyone's games.

[upper citrus]

wtf is this spirited vixen outfit, what a stupid waste of someones time to make that. make cool shit people are gonna want to buy instead of trash nobody cares about. basically the same as the last dog shit outfit in the store minus the emote (the only reason i could see why someone bought the last one)

[native helm]

tbh I don't think it's really about "how good" Light is, as much as it is about "how frustrating" it is to play against - the entire Stealth/Stun Gun side is highly frustrating to play against - I feel like there are lessons to be learned from e.g. TF2 removing the stun from the Sandman, or more recently Overwatch /2 and the whole CC stuff that went wrong there

mind you I'm not saying it's OP, it objectively isn't, from a pure value per slot point of view there are so many things that are stronger than anything Light can bring, it's just not fun/interactive gameplay - which I believe could be fixed by adding some more anti-shield/anti-gadget interactions, e.g. throwing knives going through shields or doing significantly more damage to gadget, like a melee attack - I would also argue that Light should be like Scout in TF2 and count as 2 people for Power Shift, letting you bring objective oriented value that isn't just "kill enemy good"

[placid hazel]

[vestal coral]

If you're poor, yes, but you know how to play a little, it's devastating. Those who use light and a mediocre one who only wants to do kill after kill, those who say it is the poorest class either don't know how to play or don't want their favorite class touched.

[quick dew]

team/self kills in bank it should not give coins, we were 39/40k deposited so I just told my teammate to kill themselves and picked up the coin and we won

this could be exploited tho by killing yourself when you know you’re fucked to deny the enemy coins so would need to find a way to still have those kills drop coins

[quick dew]

Please move (or remove) the win a ranked tournament circuit contract to the masters or pro circuit.

For the average casual player winning a ranked tournament where you go up against diamond sweats is insanely difficult.

The circuit challenges should mostly be about how much you play the game, not solely skill. I really hope this isn’t the case in the masters circuit and there’s insane goals like winning several tournaments.

All of the current circuit challenges besides the tournament one are less skill, just play the game enough and you’ll finish it, like dealing damage or depositing money.

If you want to keep this contract in, you really need to bring back unranked tournaments

[last saddle]

This game need to stop putting players you report on your team for multiple games in a row.

Really not very niche, not having a minimum of 9 loadout slots with the way the game is set up is a bizarre choice

[wary tapir]

day 12381328 of casual charlies complaining about invisibility

[tight verge]

Invis needs a change. Im sorry its just a dumb ability. It prevents dagger from being the fun high skill close range demon that it could be paired with dash, and makes for totally unfun combos like with sniper. Yes I just had a terrible experience fighting an invis sniper in powersift. yes I am a bit heated, but im expressing an opinion I've had for a while now. Invis is kinda a crutch and not as skillful as dash especially paired with sniper 🤮

[abstract hemlock]

I think it would be neat if you could save custom outfits

[mighty pollen]

how do i accept the discord quest for the skill issue skin set

[sage prism]

as a heavy light main; stun genuinely needs to be reworked to be some kind of mine, or it needs to not be in the game. It's a crutch gadget for low skill players that completely ruins gameplay at higher levels. being able to pop out of invis and just render someone practically unable to play the game is just as bullshit as having full on wallhacks. The distance you can stun someone at is just ridiculous for the benefit it provides, and especially as someone who plays melee, it renders it completely useless and is a guaranteed loss if you get hit with it. Having a free win button on any class (heavy's rocket launcher before nerf, light's stun gun, and pre-nerf defib/nade launcher are basically just free wins against a light player, especially a melee one) is just a stupid game mechanic and ruins the fun in getting better at the game. Why should I get any better when I can just pick up the free win weapons and dominate with those? I think any fps game should reward player skill with kills. Harder weapons to learn and use have a higher gain as you learn them. There's an astonishing amount of stuff in this game that don't follow that in the slightest. You're heavily rewarded for being the lamest player alive, and that's the kind of thing that, as fun as this game is mechanically, completely ruins it. There's no counter to stun. If the player that stuns you can't kill you, it's a skill issue on their part. You can't see it coming because of invis, and once you're stunned there's just nothing you can do. Any player with some aim isn't going to miss their shot. It's far to easy to use for practically giving you a free win

[remote holly]

There's a hacker
I did a security patch on the Asian server yesterday, but it comes out of the Asian server again
I also artificially turn on and off the cheat program to look like a good person. Found in round 2, it came out in 2 minutes.

[daring fossil]

if they reverted stun to CB2 state it would be fine. It has good utility, but shouldn't be a crutch to open fights, doing this will solve that.

[wide glade]

Team matching is insane.. 90% of the time my whole team sucks (strictly playing power shift) but apparently not the other team

[floral plume]

They need to bring back unranked tournament, 15 cash out steals is insane with out it, and a tournament win, I can’t even get into a ranked tournament without waiting 10 plus minutes as a solo player and then u u don’t have teammates it’s bs

[pseudo latch]

Defib ghosts should be killable to punish lazy defibs.

[lyric ore]

I think tazer, invis, and most of the light arsenal needs a serious nerf or rework
For one, tazer is one shot and renders someone an instant kill as long as you can just strafe the other way around them. It's short range, but that means max damage ramp-up and it's easy to aim your shots.
Invis is... fine, I guess, but near useless if you're moving.
Evasive dash is incredibly overpowered. It's fitting for Ultrakill, a singleplayer game with high difficulty, or Overwatch, but in overwatch the character using it has about half the health of the second-most fragile hero in that entire game. For it to be balanced in the finals would require even harder penalties to health than the Light already has.
Swords are just... broken, kinda. A light at point-blank is impossible to hit, and the sword only does damage there. The challenge is closing the gap, of course, which would be perfectly fine if every option the Light had wasn't a guaranteed way to get point-blank. So the mobility options need a nerf, or sword damage does.
The SMGs are surprisingly fine, actually. They're well-balanced. Nice job :>

While I'm at it, the revolver for Medium is painful to use. just 2% more damage or something, please, it gets every enemy so low it's agony when you die because it's just not enough

[boreal sentinel]

All players in a team, if successfully cashout a vault in rank, should be auto respawn immediately without credits used instead of trying to revive our teammates after our cashout was done.

I know every challenge shouldn’t be easy but completing every challenge for stage 2, and stage 4 already, but stage 3 being stuck at 6/7 is leaving a sour taste in my mouth. Like my friends and I would like to goof off in power shift, and continue passively unlocking challenges, but nobody’s happy about the “win 1 tournament” challenge staying locked

[strange bronze]

You really should add another 3 character slots (at least) so we can have a build for each specialization on Heavy Medium and Light. It only benefits you as the people who buy skins will feel more inclined to spend money to have a unique looking character for every slot. 🤷

[hallow narwhal]

Please remodel the 93r needs new irons and that front grip needs to be actually used

[flat crow]

Bug report: I played a whole game of quick cash without the ability to heal on my medium. I believe you can replicate this if you switch classes close to the round start. I swapped from heavy to medium just before the match, when loaded my heal ability would not trigger all game. Gun would glow but no "mercy tether" to attach to my team. Thanks in advance.

[graceful slate]

Agree with this, Invis cloak is a terrible crutch ability and is especially terrible to play against when paired with stun.

[steel stone]

Dont know if anyone is talking about it, but APS turrets needs a decent nerf or some changes to them like only so many uses per turret (If the turret tries to destroy 6 or so projectiles, it's used up and goes away) Gas nades and fire nades which dont have any explosive component to them, maybe even glitch nades, should be set off when blown up by an APS as the gas and fire gernades really just carry their fuel/gas inside them. since power shift has been added, their use and abuse have skyrocketed with some teams playing 4 or 5 mediums to spam APS and normal turrets

[deft valve]

Having the glitch grenade (temporarily) deactivating the APS, it will be decent. As an APS turret user myself I find that a nerf is needed.

[fresh wraith]

Can i just say how stupid it is for a contract to make you not only make you play the most competitively based mode right after removing the casual version, but to make you win the ENTIRE thing? Tournaments are literally a 4 game cash out marathon and they want you to win all of them in a row like its nothing? I would kind of understand it more if it was in the masters career, but putting it in essentially the first career after the ‘tutorial career’ is actually dumb. No offense to embark or any of their developers, but its actually insane how they want you to do all that

[foggy ginkgo]

Can we PLEASE limit how many specializations can be stacked on each team for at least ranked. I should not have to play against triple turrets and triple invis light IN THE SAME GAME. IM GONNA BLOW MY BRAINS OUT

Another patch and I still can’t equip the Jackpot Juggle animation for the AKM. Is anyone else running into this. (Deleting the contestants does not fix this issue)

[plain fable]

Can we please get the plain white button-up shirt added to the store we had in the beta 🙏 I need my off office hours contestant back

[errant stream]

need the red hat too from the beta

[odd ibex]

True sword is op with auto aim and evasive dash combo
Atleast have the awkward dagger weapon have more mobility like hooking onto walls when double tapping secondary on walls and ceiling and the grapple hook bootleg Spider-Man ability needs a rework.
Get an auto crossbow for heavy where u can climb on top of the bolts on walls.

[mossy tinsel]

I can't equip the Jacpot Jinggle animation too

[balmy spruce]

[rough vessel]

autoaim???, sword autoaim makes the weapon so much worse

[violet elbow]

putting it in the first real circuit is too much for sure but actually seeing hard Challenges in a Multiplayer game makes me happy.
hoping they do more of these genuinely difficult Challenges so some of the circuit cosmetics actually mean something.
im hoping there is a Challenge in the masters circuit that either requires Diamond 4 or even Diamond 1, so the people who grind ranked get some more cool cosmetics on top of the weapon skins.

the First circuit should ofc be more casual friendly but stuff like tourney wins/hitting a certain rank/other difficult Challenges like "get x amount of kills in a single match" stuff should 100% be a thing and I think its great embark does this, shows they actually care for the ranked/comp playerbase

[terse lark]

please nerf Fcar fire rate and revert damage drop off nerfs. Famas is balanced to be a long range rifle but everyone still picks Fcar bc it's high accuracy and damage at range and it's solid fire rate and damage is still really good at close to medium range. it's all around still the most versatile and overall the best gun in the game.
if it got a fire rate nerf it would still be good at medium to long range but struggle at close range; leading people to pick the akm for its large mag and good close to medium damage as well as the famas for people who want a gun with good medium to long range capabilities while not as weak in close range fights.
each rifle should shine at different aspects but the way the Fcar is now its too strong compared to the famas and the akm making it a no brainer pick in ranked

[knotty lagoon]

Please allow me to inspect a player on my friends list's rank

[faint atlas]

I think this challenge is only difficult because you have to get lucky, though, not necessarily because you are better than the other teams

[languid lotus]

we need a better anticheat, as long as easy anti cheat or other 3rd party catch all anti cheats are being used, were going to continue seeing a rise in cheaters diminishing the fair play that everyone wishes for. i suggest an anti cheat built from the ground up similar to riots vanguard, in the coming months/years we wont be able to know anyone is cheating without an anticheat with kernal access. this would be as huge win

[halcyon depot]

It's reasonable to remove Recon scens, but why did they also take away sonar and tracking darts from the medium?
Medium has no way to detect invisible enemies other than by damaging them.
They should have gotten rid of Invisible Cloak at the same time as Recon.
Doesn't light have other ways to hide, such as smoke and bashing bombs?

[stoic gorge]

Add a map builder for community maps

[last spire]

On steam you are able to launch the game without updating and doesn't give any sort of warning. This results in endlessly searching for a match because you're on the incorrect version. Some sort of warning or forcing the game to update before launch would be nice.

[lone wren]

we need moooooooore mods like mine gams and random every round

[odd ibex]

💥Why can’t the devs make a decent nerf?!
The meta in quick cash is m11,Lewis and f scar gun they were supposed to reduce damage of Lewis gun and increase the recoil of m11 but every match I don’t see any other weapons.
Nerf m11 hipfire and recoil

Why nerf other weapons and still have these have a fast time to kill on m11 and Lewis like who the hell is using the heavy ks shotgun,it’s an inferior revolver!
Just increases ks damage and bullet drop.
I swear the people who balance the game r dumb nerf one gun to uselessness and make one op.
The medium grenade launcher is spammy and annoying too especially to lights as u can shoot near the leg for 2 hit kill no skill but u have to actually aim with a shotgun for a 2 hit kill.
Why?!!

[tawny oak]

fix the sniper rifle
do server maintenance

[knotty fossil]

there's a heavy aimbot rn in game :(((

[stable lagoon]

If as a light you’re getting shot in your leg by a grenade launcher you have already failed as a light player, go back to playing heavy scrub

[terse lark]

m11 probably needs a slight recoil nerf, ks needs its 120 damage back, revolver needs an accuracy and range buff, cl40 is fine tbh (its only good against lights and feels underwhelming against mediums with heals and heavies)

[pseudo breach]

Day 10 of asking to put map rotation on a timer for casual. Really sick of getting Horizon and or Vegas 90% of the time.

Also, can we please get South African servers?

[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

[unborn rose]

remove the "win one tournament" challenge please

[uneven mountain]

bro the rank indicator is not what we asked for we asked for us to be able to see fame points in menu and after round not if we went up or down

[cerulean echo]

my feedback predictions are:

1. ) more then one healing beam will give diminishing heals (meaning you cant just 3 stack heal beams)

2. ) invis will be hard nerfd becuase it is literally ruining the game for everyone.

3.) stun gun range will be dramatically shortened

4.) defib revive time will be lengthened to take as long as regular revive.

[cerulean elbow]

bring solo bank it back at least for private queue please 🙏

[lapis pollen]

Revert dagger.

[inland shadow]

Swap out heavy goo gun for a minigun

[odd ibex]

Add auto cross for heavy long range and have the bolts that stick to walls be used for cllimbing.
The glitch effect of the Baton is an interesting idea but so is my dagger hooking onto walls/ceilings and wall jumping plus better slide lunge for dagger.
The grapple hook is swing is weird and not accurate.

[harsh scaffold]

just noticed the lollypop has some mismatching textures on the stem.

I think it’s deliberate. Sometimes those lollipop stems are cardpaper instead of plastic, and is usually a little tube of cardboard wrapped like that.

FIX YOUR GAME FFS. FIX SPAWNS. FIX CASHOUT SPAWNS. CHEATERS EVERY THIRD GAME. MATCHMAKING IS UTTER GARBAGE. NEW WEAPONS ARE NOT VIABLE

[dull hemlock]

Not sure what's broken with the ranked matchmaking at plat 4/3 man group (All of us the same rank, we only do it together) but we spent 2+ hours in queues tonight without ever finding a match in NA, starting at a reasonable time (IE 11PM). Restarted it at various points (EG: 10 minutes, 22 minutes, 45 minutes, 5 minutes), restarted our game, restarted our entire PCs by the end, etc. Absolutely miserable experience.

[earnest quiver]

the real culprit with this game is the fucking sound design, shit makes playing so fucking annoying when you cant hear anything unless its up your ass and cloakers dont have a sound or visual que unless they are giving you a fucking shoulder massage

[foggy orbit]

Gadget changes I'd love to see in future updates.

• Flashbang

• Deafen effect retains maximum strength regardless of the angle.

• Increase the duration of the deafen effect from 2.5s -> 5s

• Reduce cooldown from 20s -> 15

• Remove friendly fire.

• Smoke Grenade

• Add a property that makes you and your team immune to all forms of detection while inside the smoke cloud.

• Sonar Grenade

• Reduce cooldown from 30s -> 20s

• Glitch Trap

• Increase trigger radius from 1.5m -> 3m

• Increase effect radius from 4.5m -> 6m

• Data Reshaper

• Reduce cooldown from 15s -> 10s

• Increase max ammo count from 1 -> 2

• C4

• Increase max ammo count from 1 -> 2

• Motion Sensor

• Increase detection range from 4m -> 6m

• Contestants within range are continuously detected.

[half haven]

Increase kill reward to $300 and reward $100 extra for wiping a team.

[queen ocean]

Quick Cash.

4 chinese cheaters in 2 different teams, made over 15-25 kills each, funny how that works. Ate their own medicine

[signal osprey]

Three games in a row cheaters back to back nice game Embark

[river current]

rebuff sa1216（diffusion and range）

[odd ibex]

There needs to be movement or motion or else motions sensors can’t detect lol.

Sonar and flashbang cool down is fine when u think about more then one player using it in a team.
Smoke buff is needed but the audio in this game is bad enough so flash bang doesn’t change much lol.

Heavy needs auto crossbow for long range and climbing on the bolts on walls for all.

Dagger need to hook on to walls/ceilings and wall jumping from hooked walls.

Grapple hook needs better physics to carry momentum

[slender narwhal]

Just played three games with cheaters back to back. Perhaps implementing a report system would be beneficial, where an account is suspended and placed under review upon receiving a certain number of cheating reports. Even better would be automatic kick from the game if a certain number of reports is reached (e.g. if 6 players report in the same round)

[blissful grotto]

I don't understand how adding points to the tournament ranking works, I have passed round 3 and won 4th place, but when I go back to the lobby, the animation on the end of match ranking screen goes down, is this some kind of bug or what

[silver forge]

User reports shouldn't be the sole indicator for cheaters. It's easily abusable and almost always yields excessive false positives. The devs need to better implement EAC into the game to stop the cheaters from showing up at all first and foremost.

[reef jasper]

FAMAS is still a touch stronger than any other weapon in its class

[cerulean elbow]

🙏 🙏 🙏 add solo bank it to private matches

[frail prawn]

Sword emote cancel glitch should be fixed

This glitch have been around for some time and it hasn't been fixed yet, it allows the player to cancel the Alt-fire end animation of the sword by using an "T" emote (spray, sound or blank space), letting the player to hit way faster than is intended as you can see on the next comparation between how fast you can hit with and without the glitch, also, remember than I have no experience with the glitch so it can be done even better and faster.

Hope it gets fixed soon, with some practice it can be abused without much effort.

[rich wind]

Is there a way to report cheater on discord? I'm tired of getting at least 2 cheater per game

[vale monolith]

it’d be far more beneficial to rid eac from this game and create their own form of anticheat, whether that be server sided checks or whtever it may be. eac has always been a bafflingly easy to exploit anti cheat, and honestly seeing eac preload before i played this game for the first time was really disappointing, but it is what it is.

as long as eac is this games anticheat, you will have a good amount of cheaters. it wont change, and on top of cheaters, god eac seems to just become more of a nuisance than ever help. performance issues solely because of eac, false detections/numerous bugs, doesnt even do what the name states

i honestly dont care if the finals would need to be down for a week/month, however long, ridding eac would be beyond beneficial for both the game and containing cheaters/exploiters

[twin reef]

Guys, is there any updates on the anti-cheat expected? Currently Diamond3 and I can't climb, because every game we play, we have 1-2 cheaters in every round, just standing on top of the map and aimbotting all headshots, even through heavy shields all the time. It's gotten as bad or even worse than early January when I thought about quitting. Literally unplayable now. I think I will abandon the game until something gets done. @fickle linden @golden musk @feral osprey is something in works right now, to actually get this resolved, as seemingly no changes since S2 launch and it's just littered with cheaters now.

[harsh scaffold]

did i sound upset?

[thick sorrel]

Please Stop complaining about Sword OP or prove by Video how YOU shit on people with it, okay?

Generally speaking, not against you breeze! My comment refers actually to Hyperhu.

[dreamy mirage]

The game is unplayable there are so many cheaters lol, very hard to climb diamond 1

[rough vessel]

ok i can show you a video but can you actually read what i said

[merry root]

Literally cheaters in every single ranked game, how are we suppose to play or climb

[versed bridge]

I love having my riot shield baton lock on to a defib hologram repeatedly

[random crag]

am I just extremly lucky or what is it. in my 300h of playing this game Ive seen ONE playerr who was MAYBE cheating on my team when I was spectating them. People keep saying they get cheaters every x games, or every day they ecounter cheters. Is it just skill issue? lol

[dark laurel]

It's not, at high elo it's unplayable there is litteraly headshot aimboter every 2 games and embark know that.. This is sad that they don't com on that issue

[silver forge]

Yeah, the cheaters are in the higher elo lobbies. I watch streams from top 50 players pretty often and they run into blatant cheaters every other game

[olive jewel]

does anybody else find they can't load into ranked tournament no matter how long they wait (I'm oceania region).

[teal fractal]

anyone ? need help with the game not launching, "FATAL ERROR : BUILD REQUEST FAILED"

tried verify integrity and file reinstall verify

the game is fun but. i played 3 ranked and 2 of them were me being alone i cant leave bronze if my teamates leave half of the time please make it more punishing to leave some might stop leaving .

[rocky tide]

My game keeps getting stuck on the loading screen sometime when I’m in ranked and won’t let me join back when I reset app, it’s happened twice now

[icy ledge]

What a dog shit game every lobby has at least one cheater. What more can you expect from a free to play

[dull hemlock]

@whole jasper A tale in two parts.

[paper ivy]

can we please have more game modes, by the way it sounded in the update ie: "We were planning on shuffling a few game modes to make room for Bunny Bash," makes it sound like were only ever gonna get very few at a time but in my opinion that doesnt make any sense!

[modern sparrow]

You know what I honestly honestly hate? I want to support the game. I want to give the devs money nd buy their new spirited vixen skin. But I don't want to have to pay 27 dollars for a freakin' off shoulder top.... a hat.... and a recolor of the "active shorts" and a poor mans version of the "Pointe Shoes" :/ 500. 1150. and 2400. are the only options in the damn store for multi bux. prices being for CAD 6.95 13.90 and the 27.80$..... Like.... I want to give you dudes money.... but then you price items which are essencially just re-colors for 1,400 Multibucks.... making it so i'd have to pay for the third highest option...... essentially for the color orange..... come on guys.... im not buying it but like... come on... the least you could do is make it exact change not this.... I know other companies do this sort of thing too but... nah man... 27.80$...... for Orange and a not even that good looking hat..... come on guys...

[white shadow]

I would love to have more slots for contestants, the more items being added the more "builds" I want to make and be able to swap to easily

[random ruin]

So hard to keep up with S- hacker.. where is the anti-cheat?

[royal maple]

Would be nice to be able to see contracts on the pause menu in game

[pseudo peak]

Could rename the game THE FINALS CHEAT. It's time for EMBARK to do something about it, at a certain lvl, it's a cheater every 2-3 games. @viral perch Can you give us feed back about it one day ?

[twin reef]

High ELO is littered with cheats, every game I got a cheater or one time had 4 cheaters in one round, 1 on each enemy team and one team was 2 cheaters. Just de-motivating. I've spent like £500+ on skins to support the game, but literally can't play now. I'm still playing and again, another 'unranked' player with 38-0 score, just standing on top of the map and headshotting people across the map.

[wise plume]

While using cross play console players should be able to use keyboard and mouse [without aim assist of course] or make it so when you use a keyboard it automatically puts you in crossplay lobbies i’m tired of not everyone being able to use their preferred inputs do what fortnite does. I myself am a console player [My pc is too bad to play the finals] I get the time and effort to put in would be a nuisance but this would be amazing to have for everyone. Also why can you only use keyboard on console that’s just weird. In the beta Xbox had keyboard and mouse but they had aim assist and it was fun for no one. this will probably make the game feel a lot better to most people and if they don’t want to use it they don’t have to so it’s a win win.

[unreal pawn]

I would keep playing power shift if it gave decent money towards the 50 million trophy / achievement. I got around 100 wins on it and my trophy progression went from 28% to 29% out of 50 million

[signal mica]

It feels like the double barrel shotgun can be REALLY underwhelming for light sometimes. Considering that it forces you to place yourself in a dangerous position, the rate of which it allows you to consistently engage is very very restricting when considering the reload time. The reload time for ranged weapons make sense and sword/throwing knives/dagger doesn't need to worry about a reload so you need not worry about consistency in that regard, but trying to consistently pressure can be obnoxiously tasking when it feels like it takes years to reload, you end up losing ground and getting pressured in return which is way more punishing than any other of light's weapons in this regard. I do not care about buffing the damage, but for the love of a God giving double barrel a .25-.5 buff in reload speed would actually do it wonders. Right now it's pretty mid tier.

[random crag]

aah, right, ofc... That makes sense

[hard badger]

Again a guy with wallhacks: NoxQK#1053 (I was invis and he knew where I was and I was on a distance from him)

[silver forge]

Pretty sure the top is also a recolour. Some of the skins are really cool but there are also a lot of skins that are just recolours of existing items and they expect us to pay $15+ for them...

[paper ivy]

IM BEGGING for ability to customize private games however we like, there should be any amount of people, any game mode, and many many more customizable options, like maybe we can all use all three special abilities or maybe we can turn the external stuff like aliens on double time, idk but at the VERY least there NEEDS to be less people required not everyone has 6 friends ready to go at all times and what if people just wanna practice and memorize maps

[chrome citrus]

Is it intended that to get Diamond 1 u have to win every tournament u play? I'm hard stuck diamond 2 and got demoted losing in the final round. Been promoting and demoting between diamond 2 and 3 for past week now...

[quick coyote]

Why when I enter the game it says system integrity violation?

[quick coyote]

I read that it might have something to do with server costs is why its limited the way it is. which is kinda why even the training range has multiple people in it even if you cant see them

[abstract shadow]

i think that the finals is really good game, but the game deserve more, the company of the finals should donate for streamers to play the game and advertising the game

CHANGE HOW THE RESPAWN AFTER TEAMWIPE WORKS! At the start of the game when we open the first vault my teamed wiped a team and another team came, we wiped them and the first team respawned near us so we wiped them again and hell yea the 2nd team respawned near us again and wiped us when we r resing, and the other cash out is already half way. Good job making us busy!

AND! make a weapon ban system for teammate, cuz i dont want to see a gold 3 player in my diamond game running a sniper and does absolutely nothing the whole game!!!!

[mossy tinsel]

When is Ban wave 😦

[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

Just for my curiocity, when exactly do you press EMOTE in that video? I've tried when ADSing (right mouse button with a lunge attack) and then pressing EMOTE when fully charged. It indeed disable animation but at the same time you still have the same delay before you can charge again

[prime dagger]

game is currently shit with the cheaters and worst ranked system

[tranquil kayak]

Fr when can i play ranked? Its getting ridiculous

[hard badger]

Please let us get a someone-got-banned message in game so we actually know you guys are banning the cheaters we report PLS PLS PLS devs

I would love if when you clicked on the battle pass it would jump to the page you are currently on rather than going to the first page of the battle pass. I need to click through multiple pages to get to what I'm currently on and it just gets worse with time. Minor but I feel it would be a nice change! Thanks! Love THE FINALS sooooo much!

[white shadow]

We should definitely have the option to change character specializations between rounds in ranked, one round I took the goo gun cuz it was necessary but then the next round it wasn't anymore and I wanted to swap to mesh shield and couldn't, and it cost us the round

[wispy geyser]

How come gold 1 and plat 4 play against diamond 1 and 2?

[odd tundra]

Suggestion for Skill Issue cosmetics event
Seeing console players not being able to take part of the event as discord is not available through the console platforms. I would ask that there be contracts for these players so they may redeem the skill issue set code through the embark ID.

Option 1: Just contracts so the players can achieve it. A minimum of 5 contracts similar to the daily contracts -maybe even require it in powershift; takes more time than streaming for 15 minutes which the players have found wrap arounds for. (i.e. streaming to an alt in your server)

Option 2: Require them play with friends/ party mates for X amount of games. This would also achieve making more friends (temporarily) to play the game and achieve more organic relationships through the game.

As much as the goal is to share the gameplay with friends, having people play the game with the goal of completing contracts is more attainable, player base friendly (consoles have souls too) and speaks more inclusivity. Days before Season 1 ended the Embark team made new weekly contracts to aid those who needed the EXPERIENCE boost to finish the paid for battle pass. I believe this encourages more players join the event and suffer in the new map.

Much love to the team

I want a weapon that acts as a throwing spear and also a grappling hook. But not like the one light has. Instead of it pulling you forward at all it instead has ZERO pull. so let's say instead of throwing it at an enemy you throw it at idk the ceiling of casino (for example im talking tabout the place where there are usually zip lines from one building to another under the dome thing.) so you throw it at that and then you yourself would have to create your own momentum by running off and jumping to swing realistically. Maybe also make it so that when you swing like this, after reaching a certain momentum if you bump into a play while swinging it would act as a kick attack.

Idk just random ideas i had in my head.... could give it to heavy! and then instead of it being a kick on that momentum swing he would be like a wrecking ball haha.

[dusk forge]

ranked fucked up as you know...still. MM fucked up as you know...still. Thx for not caring...still. 98% of the ingame friendslist stopped playing...have over 150 in the list, thats crazy. Most people wont tell you 394 times something is broken. They will just leave sadly cause i really liked the game itself

[coral turtle]

Lol. Theres now a dude in top 20 on leaderboards that was unranked few days ago. Shot nothing but heads with the fcar

Just saying a MUTE button would be lovely, even if my teammate doesn’t wanna cooperate with me, i can deal with that, what just gets on my nerves is them backseat gaming and calling me insults and slurs

[somber lynx]

If you want to display Embark ID, you should implement a direct message in the game or be able to identify your Steam account. This is because when you friend a matched player, you may not be able to have a conversation without that person using DeepL.

[hasty citrus]

I love when the game queue me with gold and bronze players when the enemy team is diamond like totally balanced

[humble temple]

you can press K to disable vc but there is no way of muting people individualy for now. if you block that user, when you get to next round or matched in another game, you won't be able to hear him and he won't be able to hear you.

[rich galleon]

it's your sksillset, not necessarily rank. meaning gold and plat somehow identified having skills close to D1 and D4
