On power shift the eliminated glitch effect makes it difficult to see the progress of the platform.

[ruby ether]

Individual skill elo shouldnt be a thing in such a team based game. My support player shouldnt be getting less elo than me.

[sharp kraken]

allow for the games music to play in the background while in combat until none of your teammates have been hit for 10 seconds.
lmao clown 👇

[bold silo]

This game will drop to 500 players because DEVs are ignorant and can't balance 3 classes, light is still shit. If this is casual game make it team deathmach, if you aim for competitive then balance fucking classes/weapons already. Playing 3 from 20 weapons is dumb

[edgy lotus]

very specific pet peeve but in the tournament openings shots on Sys$Horizon, the way Scotty delivers the lines makes it painfully obviously he's not real. nobody says "We're kicking off our tournament here in- oh, this glitched set-up again. Are we sure it's supposed to look like that?" without a good amount of hesitation.

[placid valley]

Give us the seasonal ranked rewards once we get there. Don't wanna wait for the season passing. And light might need extra 25 hp or shorter heal regeneration gap thanks 😑

[smoky gust]

gadget idea: gravity glove enhancer

this gadget for heavy makes their gravity glove stronger
they can now rip pieces out of a wall/the floor to carry around and throw

this aims to be more versatile tool that does many job decently but worse than the other tools

it can destroy walls but slower than sledge and with less range than rpg (and you're vulnerable while trying to do so)
walls can be used to block damage but unlike the shields its not see through and are only big enough to cover you (as well as having way less health)
it can be used to build stepping stools/cover but its way slower than goo/barricades
(perhaps also make pieces that have been picked up brittle, so they can be easily destroyed with normal gunfire if they have been stacked on the objective)

thoughts?

[quick coyote]

PLEASE fix ranked: havent gotten knocked out in the first round a single time today. I won 2 tournaments and averaged 2-3rd round for about 3 other games. Still havent ranked up. How? Also fix the glitch where i cant shoot

[near dew]

@pearl kiln why are cheaters not banned when they have above 50% accuracy and 100% headshot accuracy?

[robust solstice]

I think it's a cool idea. But I do see a problem. Making the picked up wall brittle, would possibly mean you'd have to change how all walls and floors work, to make sure they can be shot through will normal small arms fire.

To keep your idea possible, perhaps instead of the pieces becoming brittle, you have a stamina drain on the ability. Each time you pick up a rubble, it drains the ability. Then recharges when you drop the rubble. Also, instead of being able to rip off chunks. Perhaps the rubble already has to already be created. Otherwise, I could the ability being abused.

I hope that makes sense 🙂

[cinder folio]

well I guess it's easy to just ban them with a push of a button, but they'll just crawl right back from their cockroach hole using alt accounts, VPNs, etc.

I think they're trying to find a full-proof solution to maybe hardware ban them or something like that

[topaz swallow]

dumb stupid dummy detected. stfu low tier human.

[smoky gust]

walls can already be destroyed by normal gunfire
it just takes ~7 akm mags
so just setting their hp to like 5% of their usual value after being picked up would already be enough

if it were stamina drain instead, heavies could still stack them on the objective
it would just take longer (as well as severely limiting the gadget and making it more abuseable)

and I'm not quit sure how ripping chunks out of a wall could be abused
It's like sledge just with the extra downside of being slower and risky to use around enemies
(and without it, it would be way harder to make use of any of its other attributes)

your concerns do make sense but I don't think they are anything to worry about

[violet elbow]

Lewis and FCAR should do the same damage as M60/AKM, smaller mag sizes and slower TTK in exchange for more range and easier recoil would completely fix the issues with these weapons without having to nerf their range/recoil (pls revert those nerfs) that just make them feel worse to use while remaining as strong as they are, long range gunplay is fine and should exist

[pale turret]

Choose the location of the stickers on the weapon as csgo

[quick coyote]

remove cloak

[versed geyser]

||no||

[wanton quest]

dont remove cloak, just nerf it a little, like maybe shorten the invis time, or maybe make it so there is an short animation for starting and ending cloaks that cant be interrupted by firing a gun

The new arrows for ranked are more confusing than helpful. Please come up with something else or tweak them to be more transparent.

[near snow]

stop giving people dog shit teammates, people who cant get a kill dont need to be on this game or put into those lobbies @mellow glacier if thats true that is literal shit game design

[mellow glacier]

its a known fact that when you have a good kd you will get shit teammates. They want noobs to get a carry

[jagged moat]

My teammates left the beggining of a rank match. And i cant leave the match or else imma be penalized

[stoic gorge]

Remove triple classes. No one likes it. It's unbalanced.

I dont like bitching but how is this even a fun meta, certain classes are built really well to counter other classes and some fall flat. When a triple team is added to the mix it'd be harder to be the direct counter to a class because you just can't counter a triple .

ESPECIALLY triple medium

[thorny kraken]

garbage detected, please respond when you get to diamond :3

[olive fulcrum]

The game needs some kind of in-game text chat or something. I feel totally alone when playing solo

[rustic plover]

There are too many cheating players with mouse converters on ps5, resulting in a very negative playing experience. Can the authorities stop this?

[mossy crystal]

HWID spoofing exists, it'll take more than hardware bans to kill cheaters unfortunately.

[jolly aurora]

What about like how CS has f2p but also a $15 prime status upgrade which you're only matched with other prime players? Doesn't fully get rid of cheating but I know has reduced getting into matches with them.

[upper citrus]

youre both being dumb but also the s2 ranking system is MILES better. the old one was just an hour counter lol. at least this one actually ranks you. it still needs a lot of work though

[coral glen]

Cheater still not banned for months: Ya#6582 (in-game ID). Reports have no effect.

[near snow]

getting people on my team who cant get a kill is why after i complete the battle pass im never touching this game again. no place is safe you got nothing but shitters in quickplay and cheaters on every team in ranked. either ban cheaters so people will come back to this game or let it fail

[quick coyote]

BRING BACK THE CLOSED BETA SLIDE PLEASEEE. combat becomes very stale. I really like how the finals has a sandbox approach to things but the sandbox aspect definitely lacks in face to face combat. Also more airstrafe control would be nice as well as being able to crouch mid air for hurtbox compression. The new movement system feels very unresponsive and sluggish. Please more ground to air momentum conservation. Client side movement, reducing or removing jumpsquat frames, and making chain jumps eat less of your momentum away. Also increase the mantle animation speed as well as add a crosshair indicator or smth for a mantle-able object.

Also, would HWID bans work?

[vale kite]

I'd like to see a gadget that interacts with the in game events. Maybe call in a single orbital strike or alien invasion. Or maybe even tag a target for a one-time dead go boom. It'd definitely be better that the reshaper. don't get me wrong, reshaper is a super cool idea, I just think there are better options.

[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.

[frank lintel]

the fact there is no AFK report button in 2024 game is triggering me beyond rage...

[vale kite]

I hit em with gas or pyro and heal them for free xp

[cyan skiff]

Proof of his statement right here. My team of Gold 3 and Silver 4 being matched against plats and diamonds.

[wicked void]

[covert lagoon]

[plain kiln]

Guys just a thought, Shared medium defib cool down? if a team mate uses defib maybe you cant use it for a short cool down, to prevent chain defib? thoughts? might encourage people to play other classes

[regal ferry]

this has to be one of the worst takes

[humble temple]

idk why but i had a bug once that the score board showed wrong ranks. at the start of the match it was diamond but as soon as the match nas started they all turned into silver

[hearty sun]

start matchmaking> lose internet> get it back> reconnect and play match to end> get matchmaking timeout for abandoning match???

[barren cedar]

please do smth with the data reshaper its basically useless rn, like i think the range just needs to be increased and also the xp u get from using it is basically nothing you get 25 xp per use which just for the first level requires u to use it consistently for 90 minutes off cooldown which just isnt gonna happen most of the time so yea do smth with data reshaper cool concept but basically useless rn 👍

[warm crown]

this game is great it’s my fav fps , please bring more maps based on real life locations those are by far the best maps you’ve made.

[karmic surge]

combat clap on fcar is bugged

[near dew]

Your game is going to die if the cheating issue persists

[clear hemlock]

Very cool, should be a specialization though and it may be too similar to dematerializer

[severe wave]

Give proper matchmaking pls. dont want to play gold and silver every game and actual diamonds

[supple onyx]

Just uninstalled the game like 2min ago after like 200hr. BLATANT CHEATERS every other game. In my last 10 games I’ve qualified 9 times, got to the finals in about 3 and won say 2 - IM STILL PLAT 2 so ranked is broken. Also in ranked, every game I get players ranging from Bronze to diamond so no point in grinding ranked just play quick cash. Spawns are still broken. I get 55fps on a decent pc that gets 150+fps on all other games. What a shame it really was a good concept game

[eternal gorge]

contesting the point in powershift takes a few seconds for the game to register and it feels really bad. My buddy was just contesting point for about 3 or 4 seconds at the very end of the match and it didn't seem to matter

[rich fox]

the game feels so stale to play rn.

all of the game modes are repetitively objective based.
still so much shit that need to be balanced.
store updates only once a week and barely offers anything new every time it does.
the new map is sweet and i’m sure it took a lot of time to design, but the fact that we only got 1 with this second season is pretty sad…
the limited time modes are always loadout locked which feels horrible since it basically forces you into a specific play style that might not be your preference.

still love the game. just feel burnt out.

[dull hemlock]

all of the game modes are repetitively objective based.

Wat. Is this a glorified way of saying you just want deathmatch?

[frosty heath]

Day 100 of mentioning my heal beam doesn’t work every other round

[halcyon depot]

To begin with, the sniper itself is not needed in this game.
They don't get on the platform, they don't guard or steal cashout, they don't pick up coins.
They just shoot from a distance and kill their opponents, their own team is chronically understaffed.

[torpid sky]

fix the door issue please (doors open and close in the same second making me think there is an enemy going out )

definetly agreed

[worn quest]

🙏🙏🙏

[rich fox]

i want variety instead of every game mode being the same difference. collect vault/coins and deposit them into a cashout…

the only game mode that has any kind of unique identity is power shift. and within that game mode there’s no variety at all.
nothing but light snipers camping roof tops with every platform being covered in APS turrets and dome shields.

i’m sure with time, the devs will release new shit. but for now the game modes are repetitive and so is the meta...

and before you type up some contradicting response, i’m not even tryna argue about it. just voicing my opinion, bud 🍻

[vale kite]

I also agree

[regal dew]

common complaint, but how is cheating as much as an issue as it is in this game? it's not like you have 1mil+ players to keep track of. you let players with 100% HS rate skate into plat, dia ranks, and you only have like 30k players. these player numbers to go down even more if you keep this up and idk if the 3 strikes system is for cheaters, but it would be hilariously inept to apply it to them. cheaters should be permabanned, and their party members who are knowingly partying with them should be punished alongside them.

[young minnow]

Very good feedback

[dull hemlock]

Nah, I'm glad you clarified, I mostly don't disagree, though I do think bank it plays differently enough to be worth it (even if the mode is just "eh" and I don't really play it personally). I've just seen a lot of people just want pure TDM and I really don't think this is the type of game for that. Good clarity for both myself and in terms of your feedback.

Uh, I mean, your face is dumb. Or something. Grr hiss. 🙃

[remote holly]

If it's hard to catch a hacker, I'd like you to create a system to kick them out of the rank game. There are people who abuse this system, so I want them to meet the trigger conditions. The trigger conditions are divided into several stages

1. All users can run this condition.
2. Run when you recognize that two or more of the four ranked game teams are hackers.
   If more than half of the participants agree, they will be deported.
3. In addition to deportation, the system wants to have a system that allows you to stop playing immediately so that you can't play for more than one day.
4. Please create a window to protest. Please create conditions to remove simple mmr checks and penalties to address the damage to good people other than hackers by people's abused tips.If it's hard to catch a hacker, I want you to let us catch one. I think this will create a way to enjoy the game right away, and it's a way to make the game enjoyable.
   I'd like to introduce this method, and then maybe we'll increase security in the future, or maybe we'll release a program like Vanguard from Valorant. Please, I beg you. The game is very difficult right now
   Hackers are starting from the Asian server to the North American server. I want to catch a lot of hackers on the Asian server and do something that can be done

Rank system sucks and full of hackers!

[regal ferry]

remove sniper

[rare rock]

bank it is 'collect coins and deposit it in a cashout point' but its more like kill confirmed than it is cashout, which is similar enough to tdm imo ?

[viral fern]

You need to rethink ranked tournament play. Shorten the duration of tournaments so you can get a game quicker and easier for smaller communities. It sucks having to queue on NA servers as an Australian. Also diamond people shouldn't be versing silver players.

[robust prawn]

Call me crazy but i think EAC isnt the way to go for anticheat, its confirmed worst on the market and i think getting an in house developed anti cheat would be better, or go out on a leaf and ask activision for ricochet

[stoic fox]

I agree. tournaments extremely long. could cut them down and youd have more filled lobbys and shorter lobbys.

[oak pike]

Disable the fucking sniper rifle in power shift. It's literally game ruining.

[somber snow]

It's punishing to players if a teammate leaves/get's dc'd/is kicked for cheating and then they have to play 2v3v3v3. If they lose, then they still lose points. There should be loss prevention in situations like this.

yh shit ranked system ngl. I sometimes get 2 arrows up for a third round and the next fk round when we get out of the final round we get 3 arrows down HAHA wtf is this. I think joker did the ranked system and just wants to troll us. @dreamy mirage Embark prob has one of the worst anti cheats. They should ask riot for their anticheat. valorant prob has the best anti cheat of all the games.

[vestal basin]

cheaters cheaters cheaters, dev get money money money

[brazen cargo]

And the turret 😂

[dreamy mirage]

With the amount of people complaining about cheaters including my self, isn’t it the time to do an announcement and stop ignoring our calls? It’s already frustrating playing the game like this, being ignored is even more infuriating. You had shroud playing your game and quitted due to his quote “this game has huge potential, but there are way too many cheaters”

Im Diamond 3. Queueing with my gold / plat friends. Got to the final round after getting targeted by the same team of top 500s the whole tournament. Lose final round. Go down two bars. My kd was positive and I played well. Wtf. What determines how far you drop. Cause I've lost round 2 and somehow gained a bar other times.

Also @frank knot facts

@spice stag they were all Diamond 2

No they went up by 1

[spice stag]

was the ranks of the enemy team anything lower than yours? yea if you're dia and they're dia losing that one loses you rank, i figure your gold/plat friends went up around 2 bars for losing that one too? i wish the rank system was a little more clear on how it worked

[somber snow]

Features I'd like to see:

• Match history / videos (I understand this is a lot more difficult with map destruction than a static map like in CS)
• Death match mode (maybe you're not using this because you want people to play objective based modes instead and worry about other mode player loss)
• An understanding of the rank system. It's silly to expect people to play objectively and be punished for not knowing what they did wrong even if they made it past round 1

[fallen mirage]

I’d personally rather see buffs on other weapons, rather than continual nerfs on current meta, but the headache of trying to balance all of this out seems like it’ll be an almost infinite loop for Embark. As an FCAR user, snipers are now much safer following recent nerfs to the gun and therefore the sniper class are more OP as a result

[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
• 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

[robust prawn]

i think they should add the fill in system they have for quick play for tournaments

[vestal coral]

what completely ruins the gaming experience and makes it highly frustrating are: Turret guardian; CL-40; there are far too many mines of all kinds; invisibility; stun guns; sledgehammer and flamethrower. Plus the matchmaking is really badly done. The game is dying due to these problems: General imbalance towards weapons and gadgets, no skills and obscene matchmaking.

[unique wasp]

I think that's just a consequence of their weekly update schedule- it feels like part of the point is to try and address player concerns as they come out in an unusually reactionary sort of way, and players are always going to be way louder about wanting things that piss them off nerfed than they are wanting underperforming things buffed. Also snipers have mountains of counterplay, they're just annoying like snipers in every game are

[hardy siren]

Hi I love the game just have a suggestion, the level 7 riot shield skin is super underwhelming compared to the level 6. I’ll attach photos but any way in an update you guys can add like a light pink back and make the baton look sexier it could be a crazy riot shield skin and the previous level has it nice and filled out instead of black. You’ll see what I’m talking about.

[shy tundra]

They need to add only kill game mode where Teams just kill to win, like team death match sometimes it gets tiring/stressful to play obj all the time and I understand the finals is based off money so you can make it as do each kill gets a certain amount of money let’s say (1k) and then first teams to 40k wins.

[faint sundial]

I was just in a game of Power Shift with an opposing team that intentionally refused to capture the platform for the win, and instead kept it at the closest distance to our spawn as possible and proceeded to spawn kill us for 5 minutes straight until they got the win with time runout. It would be great to see more efforts to have consequences for people who relish in excessively toxic gameplay

[glacial geyser]

They need to add that so all the people who don't ever bother with the objective can go play that instead...
(then again, there are already too many game modes 😅 )

[icy seal]

Embark:

I'm really loving the game.

It's the only FPS game I've really ever enjoyed, so thank you.

Really the only thing missing for me is a ready-check for your squad before queuing.

This would be a HUGE QOL win.

[blazing arch]

TOO MANY CHEATERS also pls buff dagger it's fun but not viable at all

[unborn rose]

rampant cheaters in basically every single match i play

everyone is always like "buuhhhh ive NEVER seen a single cheater!!" you are obviously not paying enough attention, get some glasses, you can see how many people spot you with walls if you apply a handful of braincells

cheaters doesnt just mean flying rage hackers, please understand this, most cheaters are trying their hardest to make their cheating look like natural gameplay when its NOT and its really apparent that its working.

[river current]

rebuff sa1216 (diffusion and range)(also take some time dealing with cheaters plz)

[coarse scaffold]

Please Embark I beg you just fix the enemy footstep audio.

[keen path]

yo embark why did you change the hud on death screen? why does it need that rgb glitch effect. no one asked for it

[topaz jetty]

Please god just show FP and how much till divisions above and below. The new animations don't show anything, it's the same exact hidden system. Getting the maximum loss penalty for losing in the final round is also wild - not sure if it's a bug, but if it's intentional it's a great way to make people not want to play ranked

[tulip berry]

so basically there is a way to clip under the map and shoot anyone without any issues. it happened to me and my friend in the vegas sand map XD was so funny tho . enemies freaked out

[hollow moat]

ranked quick cash, faster and more balanced matchmaking. Shorter games, less abandonments. The tournaments are too long.

[winter knoll]

Nerf/remove cloak. or give the other classes better scan options. This ability is fucking busted and not fun at all to play against. buff grapple hook

[quick coyote]

Cloak is fine as it is. Stop crying about it. The only reason cloak gets hate is because stun is just problematic and is always paired with cloak.

[gleaming gust]

This game has medic tf2 syndrome where u need a medgun medium to play the game. I think every class should have a healing option (and not having healing stack) and maybe put medpacks around the map. Have them able to be picked up and thrown at teammates too.

[shy tundra]

Love the game but I think adding of clans would be great cause I think it would breed more competion as there would be clan wars and clan vs clan judging from my previous games that was fun

[rain moth]

Why on goddamn earth did they remove the ability to see how many points are gained/ lost in ranked? This up and down arrow thing is such a stupid substitution. How close am I to ranking?!?!

[austere rapids]

How many hackers do I need to face in a day embark ...

[cerulean elbow]

please add solo bank it to private matches i think it'd be fun 😁

[steep nebula]

I've gotten through all the challenger circuit except one and cant get to pro circuit until it's done. Its literally impossible to get into a tournament on Australian Xbox servers (I queued for 3 hours before it timed out). They need to fix it.

I think I got thoroughly monkey paw'd...
Really wanted to see what a single round tournament was like
So they removed unranked tournaments completely to make room 😭

[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

[blissful bridge]

I can play a game and my teammate is screaming when he dies "nerf that equipment!", but I'm not having the same emotional reaction / negative mindset issue. Some people just can't handle being eliminated even when they are #1 on the winning team. They scream at every death.

You ever notice the best players and people who enjoy the game aren't in the discord complaining about loadouts?

It's anger and skill issue behind most opinions, but no one wants to admit it. Spend some time with those players on the mic and you'll instantly see where their mindset resides.

Embark, if you see this please understand that catering to these people will slowly erode your game and it's style that sets it apart from other titles. Everyone has an opinion but they mostly are negative emotional responses that stem from a deeper place and not the gameplay.

I love this game and it's gameplay. Most fun I've had in years playing a FPS.

[spiral kestrel]

ayo wtf, how can you lose points if you lost in the final round? you are playing a hole tournament not even for nothing, but to lose points?

[polar mist]

More than 90% of the enemies in ranked matches use Lewis or FCAR. All matches look the same.

[vernal jetty]

You used AI to generate the voices of the commentators, I suggest that you translate the voices to other languages, I understand that the difficulty will be less, other languages such as Spanish.

[viral fern]

Lights need looking at. There is a reason there are so many in the game now as they have been buffed a lot and the other classes nerfed. Playing against a group of 3 lights in quick cash is a joke. It's not fun. Stop balancing around ranked which is a failure. This is coming from someone that plays medium and heavy the most as do my two team mates.

[timber sage]

Is it me, or is Monaco a cancerous map for lights all of a sudden?
250 hours in according to Steam, the only frustrations I have with this game are that I struggle to kill more than die, my lifetime KDR is quite sad. This is even though I only play Bank It.
I really like how challenging the gunplay is in this game, and above all, I love that it's got respawns and cosmetics I actually like (instead of predefined characters, which I don't prefer, or just variations of kevlar or power armor, which is again, not for me). I don't want to be forced back to Call of Duty with that game's stupid release schedule, nor do I want to be forced back to Apex and Fortnite, whose core experiences are battle royale and whose cosmetics aren't so much for me.

[azure jolt]

This game seriously needs better anti cheat, I just finished a second consecutive game where two teams had 1 - 2 cheaters using aimbot, it's a joke, how do they expect anyone to enjoy the game or hold a playerbase when they have such a rampant cheater problem

[crystal umbra]

"Kill cams are important"

Day 2

[swift laurel]

an official overlay for overwolf with match stat tracking would be nice, TRN network integration would be nice as well

[lapis oracle]

The Finals Stats is pretty good but it would be good to get proper highlight integration as well

[runic vigil]

bad spawns - bad ranking system.
The rest is pretty good

[cedar egret]

Can dev make something about losing point for a loosed ranked game because one of our mates didn't even connect ? It was a 3v3v3v2 and so we loose point because of this

[steep palm]

Again, we had a few spawn killers at our base with Power Shift. There should be a spawn area, forbidden to be for the enemy team. A reason for me to quit the match. It isn't fun to being killed within 1-2 seconds after spawning.

[tame carbon]

The hit boxes of this game are broken as hell. Especially with swordplay. Will this ever get fixed?

[hoary dawn]

I don’t have much to say except for, I recently received an achievement for “Heavy Hand” which is simply 150 rounds as a heavy. It’s April and that achievement alone on steam is sitting at a 0.3% completion rate. I don’t understand what’s happened to the finals

[hasty geode]

The new ranking indicator is actually the dumbest most ignorant and straight up the most useless thing i have ever seen. LLike it actually tells you ZERO. what the fukk is even the point of it its so dumb like why tf waste your time to develop something like this instead of fixing the fuckin ranked system. GG The Finals great stuff

[vestal coral]

nice to lose ranked games because of afk or people who keep quiet shit. This game is rotten when you say you solve this crap somehow. Plus you get penalized when the game crashes on its own. Therefore a thousand problems for this obscene ranked one. Only penalty after penalty due to the fault of the game and the players.

[willow panther]

I hope a dev reads this but the current rank system is either bugged or if it's intentionally calculating rank progression this way it is absolutely demoralizing. I am a d3 player and there have been a few instances where I reach the final round, lose it to get 2nd place and end up getting down arrows for that. The hackers are bad enough but I truly enjoy the game and keep playing but losing arrows after getting 2nd place has actively made me hesitate to play. Don't punish the players who still stick around with your game through thick and thin. We want to play your game and support it, we love it but don't make us lose interest by deranking us after getting 2nd place.

[queen ocean]

Most likely because u lost vs Gold/Silver players that game

@hasty geode It tells you if you going up or down in Elo Points, win more rounds, gain more rank points and eventually gain a new rank, not that hard to grasp.

Went from Bronze to Gold 2, without crybaby attitude.

[abstract hemlock]

Punish leavers in all modes, competitive would be a harsh de-rank and queue delays, qp would just be queue delays

[viral fern]

Shorten tournament to 2 rounds so we get more consistent games thanks. Australian player here - I shouldn't have to queue on North American servers to get a game

[thin crystal]

why do I get kicked by the server almost every round?

[west trellis]

I would really love to be able to turn off the aim assist on melee weapons. Going for a swing and someone runs past you and it jerks your vision off to the side. Makes taking on groups standing close to each other needlessly extra difficult, fighting with my own crosshair and missing every swing as they all wiggle around

[tropic egret]

Skyway Stadium is a Monaco/Seoul crossover, So if we combine Vegas/Syshorizon we get ........... Stadium? make it happen Embark

[vestal coral]

ranked too frustrating and poorly made, it always puts very poor players on your team and what's more they always quit. Today I played two games in one an afk and one quit in the second both quit. They need to make sure that those who are quitting cannot play any mode for 30 minutes.

[willow panther]

I hope you realize that gaining/losing arrows is different in all ranks. My plat friends that I queue with do not lose as many arrows as I do and gain more arrows than me whenever we win/lose. Getting 2nd place means I progressed 3 rounds and if that somehow doesn't count for anything and that solely losing the final round means I lose arrows makes playing ranked very unrewarding.

And maybe if you actually hit diamond you'd know exactly what I'm going through and how mind numbing the rank system is. Just a suggestion tho 😃

[lyric parrot]

really fix the cheater problem please

[foggy ginkgo]

Trying to find a ranked game is demoralizing

[lapis pollen]

Revert dagger to ob version.

[dusty igloo]

Nerf the grenade launcher, make it deal more self damage and less damage. Make invis and mesh shield have a short cooldown after you exit it

[keen heath]

honestly dagger just need either an auto attack buff or an easier way to do the backstab

[signal mica]

It would seem, according to the community the overall consensus is 3 things: Ranked feels like shit, Cheaters are a problem, and Melee is giga terrible

[mossy tinsel]

I can't equip weapon custom animations

[patent mural]

I dont know why but i run out of video memory in middle of the match when playing lately, this happens like 50% of the time
this doesnt happen in any other game and most of the time theres fire on the map in some form
my specs are definitely above an average player and i completely reinstalled my graphic drivers with the issue still being present
update: fire causes it and i dont know why

[violet elbow]

Lewis and FCAR should do the same damage as M60/AKM, smaller mag sizes and slower TTK in exchange for more range and easier recoil would completely fix the issues with these weapons without having to nerf their range/recoil (pls revert those nerfs) that just make them feel worse to use while remaining as strong as they are, long range gunplay is fine and should exist

also please consider changing the stock M11 sight to the same width as the cartridge gunner, its signficantly easier to hit shots at distance and would also look a lot better, would make running a skin that isnt cartridge gunner actually worth it and would make me buy cool new M11 Skins if I know their sight will be good :)

[woeful herald]

Please, this is very important feedback for developers!

CHANGE THE RANKING SYSTEM. At the moment the rank system is just awful, biased, unbalanced, unplayable!

The ranking system does not take into account personal contribution, and stupidly counts victories, and with very strange algorithms. I can not upgrade from 4 platinum to 3 platinum for 25 battles. I spent all my nerves. Even if you win several times in a row - you just do not apa further - this is a complete nonsense that does not work!!!! The fact that the rank depends on the action of the team and your personal contribution is not taken into account - also nonsense!
How am I supposed to rank up if there is no progress bar like before? How do I rank up if I play with random players and not in a played group???? How do I rank up if you get people in random with lights that just ruin the game?

It turns out that in this rank system only cheaters and played groups in full composition win. If you play with randoms, their ruin also ruin rank and you in full!

Developers, please balance this rank system!!!

[gusty wagon]

this

[vestal coral]

now tell me if it's fair and honest to start in ranked multiplayer and stay with two players for the whole game.

[dry kiln]

Its been littered with cheaters just had a guy on my team with 23 and only died one time and when looked through his prespective i could see he was using a aimbot and wall hacks.

[lyric parrot]

The cheater problem is insane, i don't know if it is only in diamond, but goddamn man. Every game, people blatenly cheating.

[honest abyss]

Someone reddit made a damage fall off chart including ttk for light medium and heavy. The TTK at the further for heavy class average 4 second across many weapon except for the R.357 revolver which takes 10 seconds. Explanation? Why you neft the heck out of my favorite weapon man. Everything else literally take 4 seconds. Calculation is from excel sheets with correct damage falls off you guys provided on the patch notes assuming 100% precision/accuracy.

[lapis oracle]

100%....I've been stuck in gold 2 for weeks now...have won many tournaments and came runner up many times but never progress or drop...its very odd! If they'd fully explain the metrics we could at least be at peace with the logic!!

[wraith igloo]

Stop punishing people for leaving games riddled with the most blatant cheats, also games where it’s 2 vs 5

[bleak phoenix]

too much noob light in this game. in power shift , too much light who just TDM

[rough vessel]

bro this is considering body shots at max range... (also pretty sure its still wrong)

[somber snow]

The Recent social menu is wildly inefficient. It's a scrollable 6 height column with seemingly little effort to group people together.

It would be nice if instead we could have a table of recent matches, and if ranked showing a tree for that as well. Show us when we played with people. Show us structure rather than some listRecentPlayers and then returning everything

[vestal coral]

instead, according to many, the light is fine as it is or even needs to be buffed up, I have always complained about the lights and have been told brain dead. When you touch the toy you have noobs who feel pro player cry. It's clear that all noobs or toxic players want to use light. Unfortunately there is this cod toxic mentality that we can't get rid of anymore, every fps game must be played in cod otherwise they won't be happy.

[violet elbow]

Light IS fine as it is, you guys just suffer from severe skill issue, Light is balanced pretty well as of rn and takes significantly more skill to use in Ranked than any other class, and ranked SHOULD be the metric for balancing.

if anything they can nerf invis and stun and buff health regen/movement again to make the class less frustrating to fight while not also just straight up killing it

[wise robin]

Great and fun game, but too confusing for new players.

[odd flax]

GREAT GAME, LOVE THE COSMETICS AND MAP. BUT SADLY THERES NO FAIR PLAY ON ASIA RANKED TOURNAMENT, RUINED BY CHINESE CHEATER EVERYMATCH, AIMBOT/WALLHACK SHOOTING FROM 150M+ AWAY USING LEWIG GUN ALWAYS HEADSHOT - https://youtu.be/zfzg2sYETbk?si=F7tE9qjb7pJld9ck

yeah they need a point system for ranked, the leaderboard just seems odd

[livid turret]

Who plays the PS5?

[rapid sparrow]

Does anyone know why I can’t find a ranked game on PS5 even though it says <1 min? I’ve been waiting for 45 minutes and it’s been like this for days. I’m solo if that helps

[hollow badger]

I joined ranked and i got ONE teammatem this is unfair

[past steeple]

I have a friend who play with me video games in PC, but my friend lost his voice bcz of smoking, so he frustrated always he can't share his thoughts while playing this great game. Please add the TEXT CHAT for handicapped players. VOIP shouldn't be the only one option to communicate to others

[robust solstice]

I have that! Very annoying when Mouse 1 just won't work. It'll randomly stop so I can't fire. But I know my mouse is fine as I can still click on everything else. And I can still launch throwables across the map.

[placid field]

Can we quit it with the "play as a light 3 times" challenges" because I don't want to play as a dang light build 3 times a day or 10-15 times a week. The game is trying to incintivize me playing a build that I contribute less to my team with.

[rough vessel]

reroll button:
also these dailies and weeklies are supposed to encourage players to try out different playstyles

[vestal coral]

but because when you talk about the light you always come up with the topic that you have serious skill problems ahhahah you don't know anything about the players who play and pass judgments. I, like many, have no skill problem, the annoyance is that too many people use lights inappropriately and they are all invisible and stun guns. You say they are skill problems and why with any class I get from 10 to 15 kills even with the light and I don't use it very much. The truth is that those who use and abuse lights have skill problems and every time you talk about lights you cry. The light is fine so ok but too many people use them, seeing games even ranked full of lights that annoy without being useful to the team is frustrating especially in ranked. However, I like this idea that everyone who mentions skill problems speaks as if you were all pro players. And this is the problem, you are toxic and you ruin every single game because you have to act when you are poor.

[severe linden]

Stop putting us in games that have or are about to end. Completely putting us off playing.

[patent mural]

Every time my game crashes from not having enough vram theres fire on the objective im at
i have no idea how but fire just crashes my game
Embark nerfed me by making the incendiary grenade a counter that makes me leave the match

[somber snow]

Cheater was allowed to go at least 2 rounds in ranked while being supported by healbots and still came in 2nd. It really ruins the fun and challenge of the game when you get shot at as soon as you are in line of sight and headshot with every bullet once you're close enough

[quaint jetty]

Embark! You cant have a rank system where i loose points because of getting knocked out in the final round, shit makes no sense

[dense goblet]

how to play with this ranked system and u almost met the cheaters 2 round minimum its not fear and no sens for the game

Buff Dagger (Day 4)

[odd ibex]

Urgent 🚨
Look how easy it is with sword but with dagger it awkwardly slow https://youtu.be/TTbfaVYJJtU?si=tjOwK7hSwt1IMXnS

We need dagger to help stick/hook climb walls and a downward lunge attack(150 damage)while falling on enemies,it’s still situational and not that flexible like sword so it’s balanced and u have low health as light.

[drowsy cargo]

Can we get some kind of in-game resolution for this?

[silver forge]

If you're worried about not contributing then play Power Shift or Quick Cash. You don't have to play ranked for this challenge to count.

Or maybe take some time to learn how to play light?

[shut stratus]

Reduce Heavy’s Barricade area of retrieval. Since pulling out your weapon and interact are binded to the same button most fights are lost due to this minor annoyance.

[vernal swallow]

Ability ideas: (day 2, feedback appreciated)

Light- Phase ability, 2 uses, cooldown 15 sec, when used for 1.5 secconds your able to walk through a wall, jump and mantle onto the next floor through the ceiling, crouch and fall down a floor, not affected from bullets, explosives, gas, or fire, but will from glitch grenades and flashbangs

Medium- Clone, 1 use, cooldown 30 sec, when used a clone of you will take the animation you were doing and stay for either 15 seconds unless they are shot by contestant, when you see a clone they look exactly like the enemy but when shot they will disappear and your position will be tracked just once by whoever placed it, a lot like one ping by the motion sensor

Heavy- Minigun, infinite ammo but 2 sec round up time and after 10 sec the barrel will overheat, if you don’t let it overheat aka use it for 9 secconds your able to use it whenever you want, but if it overheats at 10 secconds you have to wait until it’s fully cooled down, damage around 5 and long range super inaccurate, no sights just zooms in a little bit like the KS-23 and it also does high arena damage, if the bullets go by or hit near an enemy they are suppressed aka their screen gets zoomed in and a bit fuzzy and they walk a little slower and their recoil is a bit higher

Add Search and Destroy to The Finals

[real moon]

what makes a multiplayer pvp game strong is the change of meta as it draws in newer and older players as they can hope that hey my favourite weapon will become meta and i can use it even better now, so please don't be afraid to change the meta as it keeps players on their toes and makes the game feel exciting and not just a repeat for months and months, a non changing meta can be good at times but in a game like this is makes the game feel a bit dry and empty

[hybrid sluice]

Inshallah please remove the bullet travel time or ADS restriction for the heavy slug 🙏 🙏 🙏 That weapon came into the game limping and there's no reason to use it unless you're trolling. No need to go crazy with it - the damage is fine now that you can't 1 pump melee a light, but the bullet speed is killing it.

[brittle harness]

Increase sniper rifle damage, it's already high skill ceiling weapon... And please improve the matchmaking because it's mostly unplayable

[pine raft]

Model 1887 reload start takes way too much time and you cant instantly shoot while reloading. It punishes you so much compared to other weapons, while not being that much stronger in other aspects. It's a fun and diverse weapon but really annoying to use in it's current state.

[queen ocean]

I guess being in the best rank in the finals, has also it’s hardships. Btw don’t be corny and start giving me your shit bits. I play another game on a high level and that’s called real life.

[woeful herald]

Fuck it, I don't intend to waste any more of my nerves in this broken ranking mode!
Notify me when you fix the rating system and ban cheaters!

@blissful bridge 💯💯
I mean like, they are not even saying to nerf smth that everyone else wants, no one’s complaining about grenades and yet they should get nerfed? like what

[mellow linden]

WTF DEVS YOUR GAME IS LITERALLY SWARMED BY CHEATERS. EVERY SECOND GAME INCLUDES CHEATER. HOW is that even possible? Are you guys chilling there and focusing on new skins? Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix spawns logic. You shouldn't spawn kilometers away from your cashout if it's not taken by rivals and your team is wiped. Fix cashout spawns. Rework Seoul. And fix matchmaking (soloQ is extremely frustrating)

[blissful bridge]

They can't play the game so they want everything to hit like a pillow so they can keep up lol

Sniper = Crying
APS = Crying
Turret = Crying
Defib = Crying
Healing Beam = Crying
Shields = Crying
Invisibility = Crying

Embark, these people will continue to cry even if you removed whatever they wanted.

if you're on console, the best way to switch back to your weapon in any situation now, is to use L1/LB and up. just try getting used to that all the time instead of using the interact button

fix your faking game oh god

[bleak latch]

Hey devs I just wanna say I really love your Ingame music, sometimes I just sit on my sofa and idle on the main screen. I close my eyes and daydream, because your music is kind of nostalgic. I really love it and do appreciate your work on the game. Thank you.

[candid crystal]

Had cheaters 4 games in a row the other day. Some were diamond, some were unranked. We were a full diamond team.

[olive crystal]

how do i fix this

[clever gull]

I think it means you've been banned or sumn cuz i have that same problem and it's been here for weeks

[naive sundial]

a gifting systm would be nice

[shut stratus]

Thx @slim moth but I use directional equipping therefore that’s not an option for me.

[tawny trench]

@olive crystal restart game

[runic vigil]

it would be nice to invite friends to the party without being the party leader, maybe it should pop up as a notification so the host can accept or deny

[smoky gust]

fun fact: there are more reasons than lack of skill that could entice someone to complain

for example, a sniper will often not stick with the team, leading to them fighting 3v2's the whole time, which can be frustrating
meanwhile all the enemies have to turn their whole game plan upside down to do anything besides tanking, doing chip damage that is healed within 10 seconds and staying indoors at all times
or aps which has extremely limited counterplay when using projectile weapons, leading to players using said weapons being basically helpless

just thought id let you know

[rich kayak]

they banned you cause of your crosshair

[meager needle]

Wondering when something is going to happen to the blantant cheaters?

I love how they ban for that but not all headshot rage aimbot on accounts that have been playing since the beta

[plain patio]

try resetting your wifi modem g

[blissful bridge]

You're right. There's another reason besides lack of skill. It's also anger issues. I don't have a problem adapting and playing against APS, Sniper, Defib/Heals, etc.. and when I get eliminated I don't scream "unfair".

It's ultimately a skill and anger issue with most of these balancing opinions.

[upper citrus]

frag grenades could definitely be nerfed to 100 damage. or just add a nade indicator

[foggy orbit]

As annoying as a 149 random frag is, the fact it has to be so close to me in order to deal that much damage means I could have easily avoided had I been more aware, when we nerf stuff continually, it really ruins any kind of rewarding feeling when we play.

[pearl mica]

[signal basin]

@vernal swallow and @blissful bridge

Just bored to be one shot by kid who can't aim properly so they use mine and rpg to get a kill. Aiming is not reward at all in this game with all explosions. Destruction didn't need damage to be cool too.

Guys who need explosions to get some kill are the one who get skills issue, don't make a mistake. It's fact. You can't aim ? You can't get some kill with bullets ? Don't play a FPS game. That's all.

[normal locust]

GETTING MATCHED WITH ONLY 1 SILVER TEAMATE AGAINST A TEAM OF 3 PLATINUM......DEVS WHAT THE ACTUAL F IS WRONG WITH YOU???? ARE YOU TRYING TO THROW THIS GAME.... GET THE SHIT AFKS OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME!

[charred ivy]

Daily crying about cheating situation, considering out of two tournaments we had 3 teams who were rage cheating (atleast 2 of each team, i guess boosting), it is kind of out of control. EU.

[vernal swallow]

I mean sure but the point of the game isn’t to get kills you know that right? like why are you complaining about mines their not usually there to get a kill their there to defend a cashout or to help someone escape, kinda your fault if you step on one since if your paying attention you can easily go around them, you say that all this stuff about only guns should kill people but like this isn’t a traditional fps, it’s not cod the game is very team based and all the classes play different parts in it, if your trying to play the game for kills play something else

[balmy compass]

Either you remove Suspended Structures or you fix red tubes. Having red tubes just randomly bounce off and sometimes explode is extremely frustrating as there is no logic to it whatsoever.

[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.

[robust solstice]

Didn't know you could actually destroy walls with gun fire...

True, if chunks took longer to rip out, then it would make the heavy vulnerable. It could also be that the heavy has to walk backwards and turn the mouse to rip the wall chunk out.

The next thing then would be: how many times can the ability be used before it needs to recharge? For example, can you pick up debris 3 times before it recharges?

[odd tundra]

Suggestion on the -levels command
Hey, could we include what level or the requirements for the level roles are in the dyno bot message. Some people like me do understand its 35 messages then 100 messages then level 8 in chat and then level 15 but I believe that this will make it clearer and more transparent. Hope this would be considered :)

Embark, for the love of god, revert this whole system back

[tepid bridge]

In Valorant, there is an option where you can equip your strongest weapon after using abilities. Would that be a good idea to add in as an option?

[blissful bridge]

"gAmEs NeEd SkIlL"

Frag Grenades shouldn't be touched at all and anyone who thinks their damage should be nerfed is absolutely mental. I just hope Embark understands that not everyone with a balancing opinion should be listened too.

This game isn't a "shooter", it is designed to get eliminations through ALL equipment and environmental hazards.

You said "Guys who need explosions to get some kill are the one who get skills issue, don't make a mistake. It's fact. You can't aim ? You can't get some kill with bullets ? Don't play a FPS game. That's all.".

You just need things changed so you can play the game in the way YOU think it should be played. If you had any skill with gaming then all explosive equipment shouldn't be a problem, because you would skillfully bait the RPG and spot the mines that have a big blinking light on them.

I bet you W key into every mine and then blame the enemy lol

You're absolutely right, explosions should deal only 25 damage tops am I right?

I enjoy this game and don't like seeing opinions that ask to fundamentally change it's gameplay style.

SKILL ISSUE / ANGER ISSUE

[lapis oriole]

Can we please cut some paper with the scissors? (Throwing knives)

[fluid ravine]

ranked system busted..placin second in tourney gives one arrow down smh

[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

[quick coyote]

Add more game-modes like death-match, gun games but add a twist so that it fits in with the finals

[pseudo leaf]

when we die make us able to ping killers spots

[toxic shadow]

nerf frags or add nade indicators, brainless nade spam is incentivized. THANKS!

[upper citrus]

as someone who has frags in every loadout, they could definitely use a small nerf. it is incredibly brainless to just throw frags in the general area of someone you cant even see and they explode nearly on impact because of travel time

[pearl mica]

Urgent 🚨
Look how easy it is with sword but with dagger it awkwardly slow https://youtu.be/TTbfaVYJJtU?si=tjOwK7hSwt1IMXnS

We need dagger to help stick/hook climb walls and a downward lunge attack(150 damage)while falling on enemies,it’s still situational and not that flexible like sword so it’s balanced and u have low health as light.

U need to help spread the message to the devs on dagger buff!
Daggers should hook onto walls and ceilings by holding or double tapping secondary attack and wall running for 0.85 seconds after hooking,also fast wall jumping it’s only for getting around vertical places not fast travel so making the dagger more utility based would be nice and remember sword lunge and dash combo can help u fast travel cover large distance and do high damage 360 degrees with auto aim but dagger is just awkward.

Dagger should have fast downwards thrust that do 150damage that’s like sword lunge but downwards so u can hook on walls and ambush players.

Add slide step or a fast half step as a way to get a better angle or wall peek,evade.

Fix the auto aim as u can miss point blank backstabs,fix the input delay for dash as when players r turning it goes in a different direction because of the delay at least for dagger.

Dagger wall jumps should be higher than normal jumps.
U can grapple hook up or dash up and do a downward thrust or u can be stuck up a wall while cloaked and then fall down for ambush so there is synergy will all abilities too

[crystal storm]

Please make it so damage from mines don't stack. Getting deleted by double mine does not make for good and fun gameplay.

[blissful bridge]

The nade indicator is the best solution over another brain dead "please nerf" opinion.

Embark, please add grenade indicators that can be seen easily.

---

Luckily, I have teammates who will counter skillfully and laugh when they themselves get eliminated instead of blaming the game. The people who enjoy the game are having an absolute blast in it.

This game needs work done to matchmaking, server issues, and cheating more so than focusing on nerfing equipment or limiting loadouts.

We need to balance the game, but not destroy classes / equipment / tactics in the process. This type of conversation needs more wit than "remove / nerf" brings to the table.

[fluid ravine]

this has been happenin repeatedly, devs please fix or explain this

[night karma]

Quick match matchmaking necessarily needs a fix, the game is played 5v5, if i started playing one week ago and i want to have some fun playing the game, why on earth should i play against people who gained level 80 or something like that just to be smashed? No way i get the most kills of my team when the other team has players who regularli have 10-11 kills per match. No sense

[rugged adder]

[smoky gust]

@blissful bridge
"they complain because of anger issues"
is like me saying
"you only defend x, y and z, because you want to abuse them"

should be pretty obvious that you cant baselessly write someone off because you disagree

It's ultimately a skill and anger issue with most of these balancing opinions.
perhaps consider reading what I just wrote
its not skill or anger, people want to play the game
but if it feels like shaving with a cheese grater, they wont continue

neither skill nor anger are an issue (for the majority), frustration is

also, since you call every "bad" in a rude way for having any issues whatsoever, it should not be surprising that you run into s many people with "anger issues"

"gAmEs NeEd SkIlL"
they do actually
for the same reason why people love to watch football or hokey and not "worlds best roulette" or the "lottery championship"

given, some skill stems from the gadgets and how they are being used

but some set the bar to low and offer too much in return
effectively killing part of the skill that makes a victory earned

[quick coyote]

healing beam does need a healing rate nerf and a rework in how many beams can heal a person in a team
currently its just dumb, no wonder why its the most used medium spec on ranked by a large margin

BRING BACK THE CLOSED BETA SLIDE PLEASEEE. combat becomes very stale. I really like how the finals has a sandbox approach to things but the sandbox aspect definitely lacks in face to face combat. Also more airstrafe control would be nice as well as being able to crouch mid air for hurtbox compression. The new movement system feels very unresponsive and sluggish. Please more ground to air momentum conservation. Client side movement, reducing or removing jumpsquat frames, and making chain jumps eat less of your momentum away. Also increase the mantle animation speed as well as add a crosshair indicator or smth for a mantle-able object. omnidirectional sprint and slide as well.

[restive vigil]

how many staffs are work for Embark

[proper yarrow]

**✅ REQUEST ✅ **

• show weapon skins in equipment tab (equipped skin)

• option to sort weapons by level (its alphabetically rn)

ALSO add reactions back in this channel, this way you will see what the community agrees with

[olive crystal]

how does this rank system work just lost in the finals and went down i had 38 kills 16 deaths like what

[vernal swallow]

make it so I can see my friends loadouts in the menu before I join a game

[candid crystal]

This 💀

[glossy scaffold]

If u disconnect from a game i think it automatically lowers your rating

[untold cargo]

Nah I literally left games multiple times didn’t go down then I win games and it’s like 50/50 if it goes up

[quaint forge]

Can you please fix rank matchmaking pls? I’ve been on such a long losing streak

[hollow badger]

why does xp54 do more damage than m60? xp54 shots tiny tiny bullets and m60 shots cal50 so yea...

[eternal kayak]

Too much shit in this game that coddles people who don’t know how to aim and control recoil

[blissful bridge]

I don't know man, I had fun when an enemy steps on my traps. I mean they do have big blinking lights on them. Instead of blaming the enemy or equipment, how about you accept you stepped on a double dose of landmines?

I don't scream "no fun" when I step on enemy landmines lol it's a part of the game and I enjoy it. I laugh at myself for seeing them last second and just keep having fun.

I get the "frustration" in the way that I understand it's more of a mindset problem than a gameplay issue.

I'm not attacking you with that statement but hoping you come to understand how perception plays into it.

[wheat hornet]

Hey guys, the mission is not showing for me, I saw the event at Steam, and just started streaming for my friends without accepting the mission.

[molten finch]

game amazing nerf heavy please

[desert dawn]

when I saw the finals man I knew I was going to love this game but I swear the amount of cheaters I see in this game is frustrating. I literally ran into a cheater with their name as "nice anticheat-works great 10/10" I'm not going to lie to you I feel like every game that I see with easy anti-cheat always have the most amount of cheaters.

[dark thicket]

add text chat, teammates iq is negative so please have proper matchmaking i like the game but the iq of 3rd teammate is low

[faint atlas]

I think the phase ability is a terrible idea, no offense. A little being able to stun a player stealing the cash box and then actually run through the wall would be awful.

[shut cosmos]

Playing my first ranked matches of the day. We load in with 2 people in round 1. And my 2nd teammate immediately leaves. And now I’m going to get punished for it. Very cool Embark. Please fix your servers and ranked system.

[smoky gust]

same thing here

"frustration is a mindset problem, not a gameplay problem"
is like
"defending x, y and z because of abusability not fairness"

again, you cant discredit someone because they don't share your opinion

[analog cave]

bring back fame points. the system that season 2 launched with was terrible and nobody likes it. the fix the team attempted to add is barely better at all, you still have no way to realistically track what your rank is. the only time you get a clear indication of your progress is at the end of a match, the new "system" (i could laugh) that was added to show your progress isnt even viewable from the career tab. no one likes this

[worthy niche]

^this

[near lava]

K so here goes nothing

RANK 3.0

Go back to rank season 1 where FP is visible and it’s a bar showing how close or far you are to the next rank. Make it so you only lose FP in the first round and multiple losses nets exponential points deducted. Same thing via winning rounds maybe 2nd round nets you 10 FP but if you play again and make it to 2nd round maybe this time you get 20. Keep it about playtime like how it was originally so that everyone has a fair chance to get the rewards they want. Idc how many ppl whine about it the game has too many things that can occur randomly to make it a truly competitive only experience. If you want comp Make an Esports and leave it at that. But most importantly make long queue times so you can play with ur rank. If it’s about playtime by the end of the season most diamonds will find games quickly because there will be more diamonds. But if you’re struggling to reach diamond you should be matched with ur rank to give you the most fair chance. Follow this formula:
bronze/sliver lobbies (prioritize putting more bronze than silver as this is the beginner baseline lobbies)

Silver/gold/plat4 (this is where the average player base will mainly be anyways so this makes sense)

Plat3/diamond lobbies (this is the above average aka “sweats” of the game and should therefore play against others of the same skill level or better allowing for ppl to play more skillful individuals)

Even if the game is about playtime this still means that top 500 will always be against the best players and the most competitive aspect of the game especially in the early season where ppl are rushing to be diamond immediately. It will also prevent people from being in top 500 lobbies while also being sumn like gold 3 or 4.

That about sums up what rank changes are needed.

[grizzled canopy]

Day 4 of asking Embark for a few medieval cosmetic items 🙏

[shrewd egret]

add a new rank

[slate dune]

Fun game. Nevery really played it before, but good game. lol [total nonsense]

[twin reef]

Please update the anti-cheat. Literally every game is littered with cheaters aimbotting everyone across the map through dome and mesh shields with headshots. Literally becoming unplayable. I've spent 400+ hours in game and over £500 worth of skins, to support the Devs, but it's just unplayable right now. I think will stop playing if something is not done in the next patch or two

[jagged cedar]

Because this isn't how you balance games

[keen lily]

REMOVE LOW GRAVITY FROM RANKED
its so fucking stupid it fucks you up in the most random ways
or at least make it appear in the beginning of the game and not in the end where the teams are in the rush to make it to the cashouts
it also fucks you up during defending on the moving platforms variant A LOT

[blissful bridge]

"game amazing, please change it"

[plain dune]

just played against him in ranked, he dropped 25 kills in a lobby with only one teammate

[thorn basalt]

the "easy" in easy anti cheat probably means "easy to bypass" ngl

[unreal salmon]

add pages to the expressions wheels so you can have both quick access to the ones you selected and also use everyting else (kinda like the fortnite wheel)

[hard scarab]

For game chat you need to have a system default for sound, sometimes I unplug my headphones while playing and it completely removes that audio config from the options and since there isn't a system default one it will just go to another random audio config I have setup and not allow me to use my headphones for talking with teammates

[dry geode]

Just played a game against two straight up spinbotters, and somehow I'm the one that got kicked from the match. "System integrity violation" and "Disallowed tool" while running NOTHING 3rd party in the background.

[obtuse ravine]

left right and right mouse click will wheel through each page, currently. Right now the emote wheel does act as pages

[ebon lintel]

my game keeps crashing on xbox

[pseudo latch]

Day 28 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

[woven rivet]

We NEED loss mitigation when people are leaving/being disconnected of ranked matches, it's really anoying to loose ranking due to that, and it's hapenning SO OFTEN. Is there anything you guys are planning to do ?

Btw i there is someone reading this message at embark please leave a reaction or smth, I would love to know if you are aware of this ❤️

[smoky pagoda]

I wish the quick play of cash out match made based off of rank cause I can’t practice against easy players getting no less than 10 kills per game but go into ranked as plat 4 and lose to diamonds

[quick coyote]

Please fix rank progression. Made it to the finals went down 2 arrows. Type of stuff that makes people stop playing when they’re trying to grind.

Sandel skin for throwing knives would be perfect and so funny, we need that added!

[tardy pumice]

it keeps kicking me from the party without me doing anything

[manic compass]

Skins go brr
A) Fish skins.
Sword or Sledge skin that's just a fish. Or even better, a swordfish sword and a hammerhead shark sledgehammer. The opportunity is right there. (Also give funny sound effects)

B) Paper Bag headwear.
Poorly drawn eyes and mouth for the funny. Variations for different emotions. Maybe a blank one too.

C) Shuriken throwing knives.
because why not? could have a cool spinny inspect, plus it fits the theme.

OH MY GOD REMOVE LOW GRAVITY IN RANKED

[violet rover]

get your ranked fixed cant be that i lose rank when i get thrown out form a cheater in the final round! worst ranked experience that i ever had in a game if that doesnt get fixed fast im out no competitive play possible in this rank

[silver forge]

I know nothing can be done about it but Power Shift is actually ruined by so many snipers just sitting in spawn or on top of church. They spend the entire game doing absolutely nothing but get like 3 kills. They're annoying to deal with and annoying to have on your team

I agree with this pls fix thissse and the matchmaking

great game made sex drive upscale 100000%

[tranquil lotus]

Honestly yeah the Low Gravity modifier is more annoying than fun, anytime it's about to start my squad just groans lol.

I feel like most of the time the low grav just makes your traversal awkward and your jumps aren't high enough to grab high ledges or move up a floor on some maps, so you kinda just have to be okay with having little to no control while you float around. Someone will say "okay don't jump then" but then it's like, why even have it as an event? The only reliable/optimal way to get around is to use zips or portals, which you would do anyways since jump pads are mostly useless unless you can find a spot to angle them

[nimble fulcrum]

can we please get no penalty for players quitting in the beginning of the 1st round.

[quick coyote]

Americana is pretty much a purist at this point, guy is always commenting the nerfs are ruining the game. he thinks the game is fine as it is/it was

[normal locust]

tf hell no

[violet elbow]

every ranked game being a coin toss of just "will I play against people walling/aimbotting" genuinely ruins competitive play and ranked will continue to mean nothing until there is a better detection in place, we desperately need some kind of safety/anticheat updates now or we might aswell remove ranked

[regal ferry]

there used to be, but was removed for seemingly no reason

[ocean shore]

please give us the option of seeing our rank progression not just after a tournament

[tropic swift]

Cloaking doesn't make any sounds at times and it's absolutely annoying when you're fighting against it since the sounds are the ones that make cloaking balanced and not too strong.

Stun gun should get a rework, making it so that the stun effect only lasts when you're holding it would make it not too strong.

Data reshape should get some kind of rework or buff. I would love to see the gadget to have some place in the meta, right now it's very hard to use since it's only useful on close range.

[broken cipher]

For the love of God, please fixthe cheating issues in this game. This game makes it especially frustrating going against cheaters. It is ridiculous and I really think more needs to be done to combat cheaters. Scan my whole hard drive I do not care anymore. PLEASE introduce more aggressive ways to find cheats on people's computers. I love this game so much. I have grinded this game since closed beta. But I don't know how much longer I can tolerate the immense amount of cheaters found in high rank games.

[balmy compass]

You do know that low gravity affects weapons and gadgets right? Some quite substantially. That together with the alternative movement that helps heavies but pretty much disrupts mid/light makes it way more than "don't jump lol"

[summer girder]

It would be nice if when you open the battle pass it puts you directly to the page your on cause I open and start at page one but I’m on page ten so then have to tab all the way to page lol, the game overall is great tho I really hope it grows more and more great job making it, I feel light is a little weak but can’t make everything in the game perfect for people so besides the battle pass no complaints here 👍

[nimble fulcrum]

I think you are not comprehending what I meant. if you join a ranked match and your team quits out in the first two minutes that should not hurt your rank. On the other hand if you did understand then I don't see what the big deal is and maybe you can elaborate.

[night bone]

For god's sake... Fix this ranking system, i got 3 finals today and i'm still stucked on Gold 4...

I need to know if i'm near Gold 3 or no, cause at this point, i don't even know if i wanna play ranked again, it's just pointless

[broken lake]

Oh, was it that toxic positivity guy?

[quartz shell]

pls fix that you respawn 200m+ from your own cashout

[dry raft]

why you still let cheaters play ?

[blissful bridge]

"game is amazing, but could be better by nerfing a class that has already been nerfed several times even though medium is complained about more as a meta play in feedback."

@quick coyote I'm a purist for this game, but I do believe there are minor problems that need to be fixed. However, the majority of solutions are low tier opinions that only hinder the gameplay and doesn't lead to any real balance.

[obsidian sentinel]

Yeah it used to. There was an update part near the end of season 1 where they broke that and it hasn't been fixed yet

[stray basalt]

Too few of people have barely used the data reshaper for a nerf, rework, or buff to be warranted imo.

[quick coyote]

please nerf the sword🙏

[midnight aurora]

i feel like data reshaper would be a cool map object instead. kinda like a dispenser. Throw chair in get explosive canister out.

@quasi gazelle the game is too busy kicking random people and suspending them even if they rejoin to find you a game 👍

[quasi gazelle]

Is there any reason why it sometimes takes almost 10 minutes or longer to find a ranked match?

[smoky gust]

"This thing was strong enought to warrent multiple nerfs, i think its still too strong"

Nothing wrong with that

medium is complained about more, so dont complain about anything else, ever, until that is sorted out

[drifting acorn]

do something about leavers, tired of going on a 5 loss streak due to people leaving the second the other team gets the slightest advantage

[quick coyote]

yeah, sure. i agree, most suggestions in this chat are non sense. but i think most players can't really pin point exactly where the issue actually lies on, which leads to this situation. but it also means something is bothering them, ignoring the issue will lead to frustration and potentially making the player leave.

balancing is hard, not everyone plays the same game for the same reasons nor in the same level.
the best we can do its interpret whats actually wrong and voice our feedback, saying the game is fine isn't helping much

[tame crag]

I think that the CNS glitch effect should be removed from the clothes and put in as a body paint instead

[tough agate]

please please please fix demat. it needs to demat everything within small radius of object im pointing at. the number of times i had to use all 3 demats only for the point to float on an invisible piece of dust is dumb

[sudden geyser]

Depends. If you win and have a negative KD you wont change much in rank

[red hare]

Game is Full of hackers !
Where do i report them ?

[summer girder]

I would like it if we didn’t lose rank for our teammates leaving and maybe put something in that for the first five minutes of the game if our teammate is afk they should be kicked for being idle and then within the first five minutes you should be able to join someone’s ranked match if they are missing a teammate but you should get 10 seconds to pick your load out, also getting stuck in the goo could be a little better I get glitched through floors sometimes cause of it, plus when you teammate throws fire or gas grenades or cans it should not hurt you that would be nice or at least the grenades I’ve died so many times because my teammates kill my by accident using gas or pyro grenades

[shy token]

Hey Embark

Both #🔥┇drip-check and #official-art have the samurai armor and Roman legionnaire cosmetics on full display for some time now and we ain't got any hints when or how they'll be introduced

You got something cooking? Dark ages? Melee combat focused season? What's up

[fiery patio]

Prevent people from teaming up in ranked. Do something radical, because in it's current state ranked is in death cycle. Why grind when there is only cheaters and broken matchmaking? Sit in 40min for tournament, finish 3rd round - still lose points. Why play? Why does the best shooter self sabotage so hard?

[olive crystal]

Exactly i went up in first round knock out and went down in the finals please fix this

[sharp jasper]

BUG -- LIGHT CLASS -- Using thermal vision and invisibility at the same time makes your right click scope opaque

cant hold diamond 1 with all these cheaters shooting through mesh shields just wasting time playing this game atm

[hollow badger]

add a equip to everything button for stickers and charms, so one click and a sticker gets equiped to all the things

[violet elbow]

ranked will continue to be meaningless for anything other than rough ranked distribution, the leaderboard is worthless as long as people can make 15 accounts and be constantly boosting people up with hard aimbot that somehow isnt being detected

You were not wrong there, won after queuing a couple times. So you're not getting 40k-0k most times? I feel like at best when game is "balanced" I lose 11k-0 or it happened once 3k-0. Could be queuing solo experience IDK.

Need help.
I play the Invisibility Grenade in Lightweight.
Since I started playing it (3 days ago) there has inevitably been a moment where I will have a black screen when using it in the game. Basically the second I throw it away my game crashes (but not necessarily the first time I use it in the game). The game has crashed about ten times due to this problem. I looked at the forums but couldn't find this problem.
I have already reinstalled and checked the files, I don't understand...
Can anyone help me?

RIP

[arctic perch]

Your ranking system needs to be better. Why not go the Apex route? Once you reach silver there is an entry cost of your elo. Kills can be 1 point, although you would need a way In the reward players for support and obj points. I just don't think Embark truly understands thier ranking system so therefore we don't actually get to see what our progression 100% looks like.

[wary void]

I think the rnaking system isn't great. After gold you need to win a full game to get ranked up and even 3 rounds don't matter. If this was a knock on effect, say u win 3 rounds then win 2 = Rank up, that'd be great. But working hard and winning 3 rounds 2 games in a row just gives u the three arrows up and does fuck all

[charred ivy]

As a medium main, FCAR still could use a little bit of nerf, but it is in an ok spot now imo. Though, the shotgun in my opinion is sleeper OP and people did not catch up to it yet (atleast not that im aware of). Defib could still use a 1s delay.

[fleet swallow]

can we add team text chat, especially for ranked, solo q rank is awful and it's made even worse when your teammates aren't in voice chat and end up doing their own thing. It also doesn't help that you can get paired with people 2 ranks below what you are

[unique nimbus]

Another BUG: when loading next phase of tournamment stage, sometimes you get stuck on the loading screen. Either timeout or restart the game always lands me a matchmaking for "abandoning the game." How can I abandon a match that never loaded in the first place. Please fix. Now all my friends have to play without me. At least let us reconnect

[vague remnant]

ADD TEXT TO CHAT!!

[crystal umbra]

The Japan/ninja update is inevitable.

Therefore I have suggestions for light class:

Bow & Arrow.

Temporarily remove sniper from game and use the bow as a substitute?

-Range - Long range preferred but have the option to fire off weaker shots quicker

-Draw time - Damage and range scales with how far along you drew the arrow
Example: 1 second max draw. 0.5 seconds draw time = 50% damage and range (or however balancing would work out)

-Accurate - The same blue line displays as a throwable gadget appears as and augments as the player pulls the bow back displaying where the arrow will go.

-Heavy hitting - Satisfying to hit a shot as a sniper replacement.

2nd suggestion:

Katana
Specifically I want the light class to have some sort of damage mitigation ability like the Mediums Riot Shield and the Heavys Mesh Shield/Dome shield/Baracade.

What does a Katana have to do with shielding?

Well to be short, I'm thinking Genji from Overwatch... But different.

Primary fire - Slash
Hold primary - Slightly longer range slash?

(Here's where it gets cool)
Alternative fire - Deflect:

Here I've thought of 2 ideas.

1. Full damage disbursement:
   Bullet damage deflected from Light Class gets deflected 100% (if the light class is looking at its direction) and 50% of the damage is sent back in a WIDE inaccurate cone

2. Partial damaged disbursement:
   The light class does not send any damage back but they simply are able to reduce the damage taken from bullets for a period of time.

Thanks for your consideration.🚀

[sweet lichen]

This game has the worst ranked match making of any game ive ever played. They seriously need to do something about it before what’s left of the dwindling player base leaves. The games great but something needs to be done about the fact that I can get into a ranked game with no team mates

[broken lake]

I think melee weapons should give a 10% run speed increase when held.

Especially on heavy and medium, who have little to no gap closing potential with theirs, but light could use it as well

[cyan torrent]

Give the RPG a sniper scope and the game will be fixed

[vale acorn]

What if med could boogie board the riot shield when sliding, if it was a longer slide that might be great

[plush shell]

if you have a large friend list, the game stutters, especially in the menus. fix pls

[subtle copper]

add a ghostbusters skin, would pair well with the healbeams

[celest axle]

I think adding solo gamemodes is a MUST now obviously not all the players got team to play with + the game will be much enjoyable and compatitive with solo gamemodes.

[smoky gust]

a bow as sniper replacement sounds nice
but im a bit scared of how that may end up
(mostly due to tf2 huntsman ptsd)
wouldn't want the same stuff to happen here

and I'm not sure about the deflect idea
I know its a gameshow and all, so it wouldn't be out of the question
but all guns so far have been fairly realistic
so that may not fit
it would also end up competing with the sword around a very small niche
though id welcome a katana reskin instead

[modern wedge]

getting kicked because of a ue5 and not being able to rejoin is the dumbest thing ever

[sullen aspen]

holy hell it broke on my linux system AGAIN. This time I'm 90% sure it was a wayland/KDE update not a Finals update though... ffs I'm exhausted fixing this every week

[lapis crystal]

@pearl kiln are we going to fix Ranked and not losing points in Round 2, 3 and 4 but gaining or should we just drop the game?
It doesn't make sense to me, that I constantly lose points performing better than someone in Diamond, he getting plus and I get minus, while we play on the same party and same games.
Either there is a bug, the system "flagged" my account because me getting like 3-7 kills on average per round is a "lot" or your system is heavily broken and this calculation doesn't work at all.
Has anyone from your dev team tested this at all?
I think you need to revise it.

On non-ranked topic - what's going on with the game in Season 2, why is it eating like 90% of CPU on AMD 5 5600X and like 70% on a RTX3080.

[pseudo breach]

Day 12 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?

[charred ivy]

Super fun to be teamed with a silver 4 player against a diamond 1 3 stack 🙂

[crystal umbra]

Im in between replacing the sword or having the Katana be the cooler cousin... Idk.

I would like to have some form of damage mitigation for the light class and I felt like a ninja update and being able to deflect damage would fit the theme for the light class.

I'm imagining using the Evasive Dash or cloak with the Katana.

[jagged cedar]

Keep nerfing heavy and medium 🙏

[tranquil lotus]

Yes, in addition to the movement it annoyingly affects everything else in the game

My main gripe is with the movement feel, I can live with the effect on gadgets, and as long as you're using a hitscan weapon you're mostly fine

[quick coyote]

remove cloak

[smoky gust]

Light is kinda supposed to have low survivability though

Seems counterproductive to add something that negates lights main downside

The only thing that currently does that is stun by forcing hipfire and its horrendus

Not saying it cant work but i wouldnt risk adding an item like that

[balmy compass]

So your whole reason for the remove it that you yourself said you don't even agree with? Wew

[rose vigil]

Hello

[karmic glacier]

How is it when you make to the finals or knock out round 3 as diamonds still lose you gotta literally win every tournament to go up literally impossible

[next lily]

Hey me and my friend have a gamemode suggestion. We thought about a game mode called "Dagger dance" Its a ffa with around 6 players trying to stay in a small area where they gain cash over time. You are only allowed the Dagger and they have high knockback. We are thinking the game has Low gravity modifier on at all times and that you have a full movement combo to really show of how fun the movement is.
// Foxyman57

[sullen aspen]

heyooo fixed it. That was a pain. It feels like booting steam with a console was the only thing i needed to do.... for some reason.... kinda sucks it took 45 min when i only had an hour to playb lol
AND F##KING BEAUTIFUL. I get into a ranked game and I have an AFK teammate, he just got autokicked

[swift heron]

You should add a mechanic where people leaving ranked matches on purpose get worse penalties or that they can't leave at all. Also when you get disconnected due to server issues you shouldn't get any penalties. Also the team where the one left shouldn't lose any points after being knocked out. If they qualify they should get more points than usual.

[modern wedge]

sniper no scope is nuts should not have that good accuracy

m11 is also a little powerful, lower dps would maybe work?

[stray basalt]

The only gun I’m opting for a slight nerf to is m11. It absolutely shreds even from long distances even though it’s an smg. Possibly maybe lower the damage.

[broken lake]

Revert dagger to how it was in open beta, please

[timber mural]

Gameshow events have no place in cashout and ranked, it completely devalues close ranged playstyles, especially melee, and makes the movement cancer

[fringe burrow]

I noticed how the game works on Linux now so big thanks embark, however I noticed there is a random crash every 30-60 mins while playing, the game just locks up randomly and goes not responding. Would be great if yall could look into it!

[tranquil lotus]

I addressed your snarky reply about it affecting other things in the game. I get that it also affects other things core to the player's kit and surroundings.

While annoying, I can mostly live with those other effects given I use directly placeable objects, single-key-press abilities, hitscan weapons, and don't need to rely on throwables all the time. My bigger issue is how it affects the player's movement, since you are almost guaranteed to be moving 99.9% of the time and feeling the modifier through that the entire time it's active. I'm not throwing gadgets or using interactables as often as I am moving.

I also never mentioned outright removing the modifier. I think it could be tuned to feel a bit better/more responsive by tweaking the gravitational constant (for everything or individual items, however the physics are coded and interpreted by the engine) before just scrapping it. Or, instead of the modifiers being random, maybe a handful should be guaranteed to appear in the match with something in the UI that shows you that, that way you can plan ahead - especially in the ranked setting.

[waxen rover]

Matchmaking is horrible right now. Keep getting thrown in games that are almost over, or games where my entire team play as light, go 4-15 and quit anyway.

[hearty mulch]

bruh its impossible for matchmaking in casual to be good lol

[twilit fjord]

For the love of god make a video explaining how the ranked system works exactly. I've been stuck in plat 1 since two weeks and I already won like 6-7 tournaments so I don't know what else to do because of lack of info from your side. It's just terrible, unfunny and unplayable. Start to thinking I should leave the game, I truly enjoy and spends a lot of hours in season 1 and prefer the old ranked system by tons.

[crystal umbra]

Communication is key.

If you mentioned that the current Ranking progress system is just a placeholder until a bigger update then that would have mitigated some of the complaints.

It's obviously a placeholder but yeah.

The game is fun. Thats why a personal like me is in the feedback section of a discord because I want this game to succeed.

Too many of my friends still have not tried this game yet. Im not a marketing expert so I don't know what we need to do to get more attention from other folks but whatever. This game is dope and I want it to do well.

[lime burrow]

Yall have been doing great with the game but one aspect you are missing the mark on is the ranked progression, 3 bars mise well tell us nothing, The original bar where you filled it and ranked up or emptied it and deranked made so much more sense. I have made it to atleast third round the last 4 or 5 games, Got promoted plat 3 lose 1 match and I get demoted instantly it just makes no sense and ruins the grind, having actual informative data on our progression matters

[strong escarp]

just like with Recon, remove Stun Gun and reevaluate its place in the game. nobody likes having control of their character taken away, and it completely hard-counters melee users who already suffer from being too vulnerable.

[quick coyote]

everyone I know who has stopped playing after hitting Diamond is due to cheaters. I know you're all working on it, but can't you do more about rage hackers? If players are consistently hitting headshots from extreme ranges, etc. Surely there is some shadowban technology you could build to combat the blatant aimbots? I would even go as far as letting top leaderboard players submit clips directly to a CM to have it dealt with that day.

[warped wraith]

yall gotta find a way to make solo more fun to play bc its misrable when non of my friends want to play the game and so i play alone and all my games are just me ending up being alone bc my teamates leave or just go afk bc they are getting outskilled

[modern wedge]

was about to go against this but this whole season light has kinda become the best class
theres no reason for it to have to hold onto stun as crutches anymore
tbh cloak invalidates invis orb, but by nerfing cloak it would only make it the same as orv

[plain plinth]

Need a way where i can avoid the new map . I dont like it. Always quit when it comes . Love the game but seson 2 is a complete fail especialy the map . Love the game

[pale turret]

ADD KILL CAM AND TEXT CHAT

[polar mist]

Cloaking should be removed and adjusted in the same way as Recon. I think Embark underestimates the stress players feel from cloaking. It's not about strong or weak...

[stoic swan]

is it possible to go down in rank even when reaching the finals? this just happened to me i feel like we need a more in depth explanation on the ranking system now cause im just baffled how is that even possible, it was a complete waste of an hour to reach the finals and still go down??? like WHAT???? I agree @nocturne shale

[little anvil]

fix ranked, dia is just elo hell with cheaters

[versed bridge]

I wish I could actually play ranked at all with less than 300 ping 😔

[haughty mica]

ranked should be only with 2 knockout rounds, the current state is making rankeds too long + you can fix a matchmaking time issue by that

[nocturne shale]

the new ranked system is really frustrating-- i think the season 1 version was better. im also facing 3 diamond 1s, while having a team that is soley plate

[rich fox]

invis bomb is a must when using the dash.

[violet elbow]

High Tier Ranked is genuinely unplayable, matching 15+ cheaters in 8-12 Games of ranked is insane, I understand that you cant just "fix it" but we need some sort of change or this gamemode and the leaderboard are dead, there are literally top 100 Players getting boosted by people hard aimbotting, ban people that queue with cheaters and start with Hardware bans or some shit.

literally trying to climb in P1 and every tourney is just a coin toss of how many cheater teams there are each game that determines how far we make it, its genuinely awful

[south gale]

No teammate half the game but we can’t quit even after 3 min for some reason. But let’s our teammate in after we are down 20k?? Kinda bogus lol let us quit again without being penalized please when missing a teammate

[humble osprey]

Make keyboard and mouse compatible with ps5

[rustic tusk]

The Finals: Season 2 at 186 hours in:

4/10

What Embark has here is something special. When you first start off, the game play loop is exciting to do. The cosmetics are numerous and fun and they even throw free events out too. The 3 class system is fun playing the other classes as well. The environment destruction is visceral and makes even the same maps you’ve played over and over an exciting gamble to navigate. They clearly care quite about the community and listen to feedback quite well.

And then you hit the higher levels of skill. And suddenly you are being placed with new players for some reason. Oh and if you like playing anything other than medium in ranked, good fucking luck. The meta is 3 mediums with revives, heal beams, APS and turrets. Even on the new game mode, which is still fun regardless, the sheer dominance APS and turrets is insane. APS nullifies 2 primaries weapons and about 60% of gadgets in the game. I want to say skill based match making exists, but I have yet to see it. Look at my hours, I have put in time to this fucking game. I still lose 70% of the games I play. I’m not looking to noob stomp, I’m looking for good matches that are challenging but fun to play. But you know what, all this is fine. These can be fixed. You know what has barely been fixed since day 1?

The sheer amount of people bypassing the EASY anti cheat will literally suck fun out of the game. I just want to sit down and play causal for an hour and two and maybe get my daily challenges done. But it turns into a 3-5 hour mess of multiple back to back cheaters once you reach the higher levels. And it has not changed at all.

Embark, for the love of god, please charge $5 for this game to stop these cheaters from rejoining, or move to a different cheat system you don’t have to patch every 2 weeks. People on the Discord have OPENLY ADMITED to cheats. It sucks so much fun out of the game. And when the cheats are happening on ranked games where I have to play back to back games with the same team? I shouldn’t have to beg for a cheater to be on my team for a fair fight.

I cannot in good conscious recommend this game anymore. I’ll keep an eye on it, see if there are updates, but I cannot play this anymore. It’s not fun anymore.

[tiny galleon]

Not too sure what the solution is but a fix for OCE ranked would be great! Maybe reduce the numbers of rounds from 4 to 3 (less players needed). Change the region settings to direct OCE players playing in NA or ASIA back to OCE. Either way it’s really disappointing having to play on laggy servers since not enough players in OCE for ranked games.

[wary tapir]

Placed 2nd place in entire tournament and DERANKED. I dont know what you want embark, I even perform with several kills more than team.

[midnight aurora]

we need unraked tournament back or change the challenge to something else. i spent the entire day playing and was plague with random crashes, double light teammates and anticheat kicking me for absolutely no reason then getting suspended for leaving the game even though i rejoined and finished the round. atleast unraked would have less sweatlords and less rounds and could potentially be fun.

@quasi gazelle idk why its showing as a reply to you since i didint press reply.

[shut egret]

I went to type in my “Skill Issue” bundle code and it said code has already been redeemed, idk why

[lean moon]

are we getting any news on SA servers? I just wanna know if its low playerbase on ranked playlist or is it something else.

[tardy orchid]

Is there a way we could add an easy way to see what specialty/gadgets our teammates have during gameplay?

[cerulean elbow]

i want solo bank it added to private matches pls

[rough magnet]

I would like a way too see my challenge progress midmatch is that possible?

[fresh shell]

Turrets should be destroyed on fall. Especially if they land on their head (doesn't make sense for them to function anymore)

[gloomy glen]

I'm really tired of losing EVERY GAME when i play public. The teammates NEVER communicate. It's like they're in their own world.

[minor zephyr]

Any way to add a vote to kick system if a player is AFK mid match?

[limber umbra]

prestige system

the game really desperately needs a prestige system or something similar to the "call of duty" franchise games.

Competitive players have nothing to earn nor anything they can work towards. Personally reaching diamond this season was super easy. I have been level 50 for months, and there is no point in playing currently.

The system could be super simple. All we need is 1000 levels with a cool symbol icon for each 100 levels. The icon would be displayed in the game as well as your current rank.
in ranked, of course

I'm fr gonna quit if I don't get something worth playing I have been level 50 forever
I have been diamond both seasons and don't see why you won't just add something

that's a reason you guys can't blow up there is no reason to play or grind it isn't shown off in any way shape or form

Add Crates or boxes of some sort we can get loot from bring life to the game it feels so Beta like

[pale turret]

Invest in advertising and partnerships with big streamers because we are tired of playing with silver and gold because there are not enough players in the game while we are platinum 1

How about adding kill-cam to the game? it may help catch out hackers or sus players, also it will be nice feature.

[sweet lichen]

Ranked is genuinely unplayable right now

[idle geyser]

Ranked system makes no sense, consistently dropping in rank when making it to the 3rd round or finals every game, even winning 3/5 matches isnt enough to climb at the moment and can even lose rank on a full tournament win. Makes absolutely no sense.

As a Diamond the only way to consistently climb is getting literally every game win, need massive win streaks to climb up.

Also it makes no sense to reward 1st place over 2nd place in earlier rounds. A good team should be rewarded for being 1st place when it goes overtime by being able to grief other teams out. Yet currently you almost have to go for 1st place even if its a risk of getting knocked in order to gain more rank.

[hybrid ginkgo]

LMAO? How tf did me and my buddy whos diamond 4 atm, get kicked out third round. i get all 3- arrows, and he goes one up? WE'RE SAME RANK?????????????????????? GUYS WE CAN'T KEEP DEFENDING YOU, YOU'RE LACKING SOOO BAAAAAAAD

[vague shadow]

BUFF THE LNIFE

[feral bay]

Every time there’s an update I rush to Contestants to see if there’s more slots so I can buy a skin I want and the battle pass. You’re very much leaving money on the table Embark. Is the architecture foundation so broke this can’t be done? Also, fix the horrible UX on picking up deployed items like the barricade with Triangle… 2 things! And, more money. Else, it’s back to Helldivers 2 I go 😔

[stable lagoon]

Remove the range nerf on FCAR and instead reduce it’s fire rate. At this point it only punishes the top level players while still having the same dps for everyone, effectively doing nothing to change the current meta. A stagnant meta can be bad for a game's playerbase in the long run, especially one that doesn’t reward skills.

[night glen]

starting a game takes WAY TOO LONG !!!!!!

[hollow heath]

for the dps, you have now just 20 before reload, it's 27 on season 1

[heavy vortex]

can you imagine a haloween update with blood and ragdolls. would be mindblowing.

[blissful bridge]

THE FINALS needs to focus on fixing these things first.
-Matchmaking
-Cheaters
-Server Issues

The biggest in-game complaints across all modes.
FCAR
Stun Gun
Heal Beam
Defib

FCAR:
-revert range nerf
-decrease hip-fire accuracy
-decrease rate of fire
-increase reload time
-slight decrease to damage

Stun Gun
-Allow ADS while stunned
-Allow Gadgets while stunned
(These are the biggest complaints surrounding it)

Heal Beam
-increase charge time after deplete

Defibs
-Increase charging time to revive
-Increase revive time for ghost loading
-revive ghosts can't block bullets

POWER-SHIFT
The biggest complaints are APS and Sniper.

Sniper:
-add a wall to the platform
-increase damage fall-off from extreme distances
(The sniper needs to have long range, but not able to snipe from across the map. There needs to be a sweet spot so it's viable and sneaky but not annoyingly far away)

APS:
-increase CD timer or CD doesn't start until current APS is destroyed
-set projectile limit to 42,069 or maybe 10 - 20
(I personally don't think APS should be touched, but this might make things a bit more fair for some people struggling with it on the platform.)

I think the majority of things in the game are pretty balanced honestly, but I would like to recommend some buffs.

C4:
-ammo count of 2

AKM:
-decrease recoil

Shields (Dome and Mesh)
-Increase Health
(This will also help defend against snipers in power-shift)

Throwing Knives
-tighter spread when thrown while moving
-allow power attack to be held

These I think could help bring balance to the game and keep it in line with it's style. I'd rather have fast defibs because I enjoy the quick gameplay and explosive action, but the chain gangs are too much for some people and the meta will become a problem in ranked I'm sure of it.

[hearty sun]

heavy's motion sensor description says "tracks opponents in range through walls" but the video says it requires direct line of sight, and in testing it appears the video is right, not the text.

[mossy bluff]

can you fix this bug that permanently DC's teammates over and over please? 3 times today

[quick coyote]

i also noticed this when i used the gadget. same happened with recon senses, desc wasnt really matching the actual effect

[quick coyote]

i agree with all of this pretty much! this is spot on!

Only things for me would be maybe just decrease the time stunned/if the light player dies, you are immedatly no longer stunned.

and to fix the Flamethrower. There are many times i use it and it NEVER gives me the elimination even though i clearly got them with the weapon or splash damage. Also increase flamethrower by like 5-10m more.

[versed cloud]

Uhh what do the chevrons mean exactly at the end of the match? Because I got multiple max chevrons up and they didn't progress my rank

[sacred isle]

Serious question, why are some of you keep quitting in Cashout? (3v3v3v3)

[dense ivy]

Okay hear me out yall. Should the turret and APS(mainly the APS I guess) cooldown not start until it’s destroyed? Currently there’s no window of opportunity with APS, because the second you break it, the medium can place another, as it’s likely been at least 30 seconds since they placed it. Picking it up with less than full health should also net you a variable cooldown based on how much damage it’s taken.

It occured to me that sometimes you’re not able to pick these things up, so maybe give us the ability to destroy them remotely by equipping the pad and then pressing fire again after they’re placed. That way if you move away from your turret for instance and know you won’t be able to grab it, you can start the cooldown while rotating away.

This changes the dynamic of the them without directly nerfing the actual capabilities. What do you all think?

[bitter aspen]

the famas needs a buff to damage, the fcar should never been touched last update

[muted ingot]

bunch of noobs asking for fcar nerf when they couldnt use it if their life depended on it lol

[stark maple]

pathetic server lag at the moment. 100% not my isp

[north geyser]

just played against a player with aimbot who could shoot through walls/shields without getting kicked but I get removed for a system integrity violation cause my cpu isn't running well enough lol maybe time for a better anticheat

[blissful bridge]

That stun gun idea sounds fair.

I heavily agree with the flamethrower.

Flamethrower
-better hit registry
-increase range by 5-10m

@dense ivy I think that's an amazing fix to it. I honestly don't want a projectile limit on it, and making the CD start once it's destroyed sounds extremely fair to me.

[slow shale]

BRING BACK MEDIUM RECON!

[sage abyss]

NO NO NO, WALLHACKS DO NOT BELONG IN GAMES. BUFF DEMAT, FIX RANK, FIX CHEATERS, FIX STUN, FIX INVIS

[severe wave]

hahha yh bro i dont get it either. Worst ranked system ever lmao. I win 3 games today i get 3 arrows up in the first win against gold. In the second win against diamonds i get 2 arrows up. Like wtf is their logic and the reason we sometimes get 3 arrows up and sometimes not when its 2 wins. you literally get less points for winning against good people. WHERE IS THE DAMN LOGIC EMBARK. BTW in both games i was top frag with most heal SO IDK WHAT else i can do. Maybe kiss embarks feet. Damn devs how stupid can they actually be. I was really satisfied with the balancing etc but the spawns this saison and this damn ranked system is pissing me off. After those wins i get a final round knockout i get 3 arrows down. Next round second round knockout i get 2 arrows up hahaha ngl i feel like joker created this ranked system @upper citrus You dont know how an elo system works. Embarks ranked system is completely random. It makes no sense to get more arrows up against gold people. And the rest aswell people just dont complain for a reason. I played valorant, rainbow six siege etc on high elo and they actually had a proper ranked system. Man idc if i lose points every round besides the final round. BUT then we should get 3 arrows up every final round we win. Its fk hard to win every time in this game. Most high elo people have to fight 3 teams as most lobbys are filled with gold people who hunt us down. Its not an 1v1 between teams like in other games. Kills, objective score and support should be rewarded aswell. Then this system would make sense. BUT its not like that so this system is absolute garbage. Pls use logic for the first time and stop saying stupid stuff. You dont even bring up arguments all you say is that we dont understand the elo system. Moron

[upper citrus]

i swear people have no idea how an elo system works

@severe wave wow more proof you have no idea how an elo system works. comparing a team v team elo system to a tournament one. lmao

[zealous grove]

Reducing the number of rounds in ranked tournament by 1 would allow for easier matchmaking and tighter skill based matchmaking also. it would reduce the players needed for a match from 48 down to 24 literally halving the amount needed for a match. This would be in embarks best interest as it would allow players to better find games whilst also tightening the skill based matchmaking issue they are clearly trying to implement. It would also reduce the amount of potential cheaters in a game allowing for a better player experience and make people feel like they have more of a chance at winning. I've heard that the 3 round tournament was a thing in the closed beta and it worked so why not bring it back. Definitely something for Embark to consider.

[stray basalt]

HACKING WITH AIMBOT PLEASE REPORT

[rapid stream]

C4 shouldn’t have 2 charges
AKM is fine how it is and shouldn’t get buffed

playing a tournament right now and stuck on the skyway stadium load screen on ps5 i can hear the game and my remote is vibrating but cannot join :/

[smoky gust]

Like honestly, these are some pretty good takes imo
(though i dont agree with all of them)

I just dont get why you call people out on a "skill issue" when they ask for these exact changes
If anything, its making you look bad

[waxen axle]

FIX THIS RANKED SYSTEM GOLDS GOT PAIRED AGAINST 3 TEAMS OF DIAMONDS

[naive fulcrum]

have player position in the starting cutscenes before a round be global, so instead of me always appearing in the center, i appear where everyone else sees me appear, idk i feel like such a small change would be cool

[shadow nacelle]

Ban him now!! @bitter nexus @golden musk

[heady willow]

LET PEOPLE REJOIN RAKED FOR THE WHOLE ROUND AT LEAST.
I just got banned and deranked for a game crash TWICE IN A ROW.
I don't mind the memleak issue on Linux that's causing the crash cuz devs already have a hard time w/ optimization for windows BUT LET ME REJOIN.
Last time I even did rejoin and played for the whole round and THEN GOT BANNED AND DERAKED.
The abandonment system now is the most broken part of the game and it actually kills all of the enjoyment I have cuz you loose rank progress for reasons completely out of ur control. Might as well put ur rank on a dice roll except u roll with penta-disadvantage

[onyx merlin]

we need faster ranked que i was in a que for 30 min and didnt get in

[wary tapir]

2nd ranked game today where I place 2nd (with a leaver!) in entire tourney and do not gain SR . I know D2 should be challenging but it is unreal that 2nd place nets me nothing

[low relic]

For the KS23 it needs ironsight instead of rng dependent bullets, it would really make it competetively valuable, its a really fun concept, but it takes so long to kill someone, on top of the fact that if you miss a shot (due to rng) you die

also maybe up the damage because it does not deal enough damage

[tawny geyser]

game-feedback of tonight, cheaters cheaters cheaters cheaters cheaters cheaters

[keen summit]

Game feedback of everynight - rightfully so. Cheating situation and the ranked system are completely busted and Embark won't communicate with us in any way with regards to these feedbacks... I love this game but they make it so xtremely difficult to have hope for the future of the game... I keep second guessing spending more money on the game cus idk what day am I gonna get just fed up and leave

[wintry trout]

that's just every night because the game is loaded full of cheaters

[smoky gust]

^this

Currently, it feels videogamey
"Oh look at me, always last, always at the center of attention"

Id much rather appear at the side as like the second team at times
It would make it feel more like an actual game show

[arctic perch]

Just fix your ranking system. Ite crazy you get to round 3 and lose FP is ridiculous???? Round 3 is arguably the hardest round in the tournament. Round 4 is such more easier.

[runic quest]

Why can I not hold the alt attack of the dagger like with the sword

[young minnow]

Invisibility needs a tweak

[swift jetty]

seems very legit to me
(pls ban, ty <3)

[blissful bridge]

I agree with you about pretty much everything except healing beam. I love how it's used to tank. I think it not tanking gas anymore is fair. I don't want stun nerfed at all personally or most things nerfed in general. I don't know if you've seen any of my other posts, but I've been attacking nerf posts relentlessly. I decided to try and offer some ideas that are in the middle ground between my opinions and the opinions of the opposite side.

@slow shale I believe it will return eventually

@smoky gust because that is how I feel about where most opinions originate. I'm suggesting these changes based on trying to find a middle ground between how I feel and those opinions. I truly do love the fast paced explosive action this game has in it's style and equipment that feels useful not weak. I will most certainly shutdown any "remove x equipment" post with the quickness. I find it to be a lazy way of approaching balance. Thank you for understanding that I do carry good ideas, I appreciate it. I don't disagree with all of your opinions, but I hope you see where I'm coming from better.

[oak pike]

Month 6 of asking for a hud opacity option. I'm sick of cashbox/team mate hud indicators blocking enemy players and overall visability

prestige system

the game really desperately needs a prestige system or something similar to the "call of duty" franchise games.

Competitive players have nothing to earn nor anything they can work towards. Personally reaching diamond this season was super easy I have been level 50 for months and there is no point in playing currently.

The system could be super simple all we need is 1000 levels with a cool symbol icon for each 100 levels. The icon would be displayed in game aswell as your current rank.
in ranked of course

[molten trail]

make it so u cant de fib if uve been shot at

[thorny hare]

Reduce the amount of rounds for Ranked tournaments. In the beta, it was one less round so there were half as many players required. This would help a lot with regions that are suffering from a reduced player count, such as Oceania and South America. As well as generally reducing the queue times for all other regions.

[steel pilot]

Power Shift doesn’t count toward “Deep Pockets” achievement and trophy progress. Soooooo tired of playing bank-it

[versed cloud]

Nerf the frequency you can cloak for.

Honestly, when it comes to feedback, I feel like things are REALLY well-balanced right now. Don't touch too much. All I'd like is maybe more maps/variety, and some fixes for UI bugs that still exist in menus and whatnot.

[upper citrus]

there’s literally like 4 usable weapons in ranked

[obsidian imp]

[safe spade]

Excuse me, dear Embark team, but when you will deal with cheaters? Sometimes I see new account cheaters without any skins with gold rank - that's understandable, the game is free to play, hopefully on ban soon. But Excuse me, when i see Diamond-1 ranked cheater, who wear paid skins and who didn't even try to hide his aimbot and wh, getting 30\1 ratio on ranked diamond match? What the hell is that? Do reports system even working here? This isn't normal. Do something with this.

[surreal meadow]

powershift has shown aps spam is annoying

• it counters primary weapons
• instant cooldown off pickup / no hp penalty
• no decay or damage when intercepting* off util

pls fix some of these

disagree, i think lights are, at the very least slightly overtuned in the DPS department...i understand they're supposed to hit and run, but i feel like in some cases, like with the SMGs, they melt your health a bit too fast, and possibly have too little damage falloff compared to medium's rifles, while being more controllable.

[unkempt latch]

true

[keen summit]

They melt your health while they die in an instant due to 150hp, risk-reward is appropriate there

[lavish viper]

there is too much cheater rn, at least two per game, this is unplayable 😔

[bronze abyss]

would love a PSA from devs acknowledging/commiting resources to address cheaters 🙂 communication goes a long way. Something a little more detailed than "Embark is aware of the issue and are working on it" .

[potent dew]

I just finished second and went down 3 in the rank system. Do I need to win every game to rank up?

[real moon]

light is perfect in the dps because of it's health and a good heavy and medium will rarely every lose a fight to a light

[blissful bridge]

THE FINALS needs to focus on fixing these things first.
-Matchmaking
-Cheaters
-Server Issues

The biggest in-game complaints across all modes.
FCAR
Stun Gun
Heal Beam
Defib

FCAR:
-revert range nerf
-decrease hip-fire accuracy
-decrease rate of fire
-increase reload time
-slight decrease to damage

Stun Gun
-Allow ADS while stunned
-Allow Gadgets while stunned
-Stun ends when the Light is eliminated
(These are the biggest complaints surrounding it)

Heal Beam
-increase charge time after deplete

Defibs
-Increase charging time to revive
-Increase revive time for ghost loading
-revive ghosts can't block bullets

POWER-SHIFT
The biggest complaints are APS and Sniper.

Sniper:
-add a wall to the platform
-increase damage fall-off from extreme distances
(The sniper needs to have long range, but not able to snipe from across the map. There needs to be a sweet spot so it's viable and sneaky but not annoyingly far away)

APS:
-CD doesn't start until current APS is destroyed

I think the majority of things in the game are pretty balanced honestly, but I would like to recommend some buffs.

AKM:
-better recoil

Shields (Dome and Mesh)
-Increase Health
(This will also help defend against snipers in power-shift)

Throwing Knives
-tighter spread when thrown while moving
-allow power attack to be held

Flamethrower
-better hit registry
-increase range 5-10m

These are some of the changes I think could help bring balance to the game and keep it in line with it's style. I'd rather have fast defibs because I enjoy the quick gameplay and explosive action, but the chain gangs are too much for some people and the meta will become a problem in ranked I'm sure of it.

[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.

[dense ivy]

Decreasing the time stunned isn’t a good change. Can you explain to me what about it is OP, given it’s on a character that almost never sees use in high level play because it doesn’t have enough value? In a game where a defib can instantly erase any pick you get with it? On a character that is 1-2 shot by close to half the arsenal, and dies to a max of like 8 shots from almost everything else? The stun guns strength is in its ability to pause a steal from range instantly, stop defibs, stop an rpg from chunking your team, etc, not from people who waste it on an isolated player that would have died even faster if they just shot them. There’s a lot of things in this game that are frustrating to play against, and I fail to see how the stun gun is more frustrating than those, except for in the case that people are deflecting their frustration over their own mistakes onto it.

Decreasing the stun time or allowing gadget use while stunned removes its use as a getaway tool when you’re trying to avoid a spawn wipe, prevent a defib on the cashout when you are the only one on the obj, and so many other things. In terms of gadget use it also means stunning a heavy will just get you rpg’d instantly. This is an awful idea.

Stun should force (or allow at least) the player into a crouched position, which makes them a smaller target, and SIGNIFICANTLY improves their hipfire accuracy. If you don’t believe me, go to the firing range and crouch at 12m from the light targets. You can hipfire them with nearly any gun in the game incredibly quickly.

[frail dagger]

I strongly urge DEVS to reimplement the progression meter back into Ranked. This gives all players a visual sense of making progress in their play sessions and HELPS replay ability.

I also strongly urge looking into more Career Levels or some sore of Prestige LIKE systems to give the casual grinder or true Finals Fan more reason to come back on a daily basis.

[subtle tree]

@sinful gazelle "some ranked matches." lol

After hundreds of ranked matches my feedback would be - feels fine. Bring back the nuke.

[versed cloud]

Playing support does nothing for your ranked progression, you will always be rated poorly if you prioritize it. Might as well run dematerializer

[spring shell]

i really am enjoying this season. i feel like cl-40 could use a slightly larger mag. it’s annoying to have to reload so often during a fight. also, can y’all work on a console only skin since the discord quest one is only for PC? i feel like that’s pretty fair

[unborn rose]

get rid of the "win one tournament" challenge

also work on getting rid of cheaters

[tidal niche]

Hello, I just got here and I have a question?

How many games do I need to win in order to rank up to platinum rank? I just got 2 consistent tournament wins but it didn't give me a rank up, why is that?

[quick coyote]

remove cloak (it’s a crutch)

[reef jasper]

Nah play light for a bit you’ll see why they need it against decent players

[dawn sand]

BOW AND ARROW TO THE LIGHT CLASS

[wind hatch]

but could it be replaced with something a bit less controversial? not sure cause their HP amounts but itd be interesting to see something like an adrenline shot to give them hp back and a little movement speed

[limber umbra]

1 reward seems abit cheap considering you don't get the previous rewards either season 1
I got the pistol but I think I should have gotten the badges for the other ranks aswell

also the diamond sticker you get for season 1 diamond completion. no one can even see it unless your spectating so technically it's pointless your teammates most likely already know you were in diamond/are in diamond

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.

It can easily destroy be used while played, I have encountered a couple of players abusing it on ranked plat and diamond

[quick coyote]

• revert C4 to 2 charges

• make RPG a spec, not a gadget

• make DEFIB a spec, not a gadget

• increase KS-23 damage to 110

• increase FAMAS headshot multiplier

• decrease FCAR fire rate and revert recoil changes

• revert Lewis gun recoil changes

• revert GL-40 damage to 100

• increase sniper SR-84 damage from 115 to 118

• increase riot shield swing speed and damage to 90

• decrease Model 1887 reload time

• decrease SH1900 reload time

• make SH1900 pellets spread tighter

• decrease XP-54 reload time (its slower than FCAR, M11 or V9s)

• increase turret lock on time on targets (make it slightly slower to lock)

• increase hip fire accuracy when stunned, player is already limited movement and equipment wise, why he also need to suffer when shooting. (certain guns are just miserable)

• decrease healing rate from healing beam and rework how many beams can heal one person at a time.

• make dome shields also block bullets from the player and his team. right now its also being used offensively, allowing a lot of free damage while its being destroyed + players shooting it also needs to reload after the matter. its just punishing to engage.

• increase mesh shield deploy delay, so incentives good positioning instead of spammy shield pushes.

• reduce barricades vertical size to avoid "head glitches"

• increase grapple range by 5m and decrease its cooldown

• increase grapple initial momentum speed, so it can be used both in combat or escapes more efficiently

• remove APS being able to block goo gun

• lower suspended structures so jump pads can be used more efficiently

• fix skyway stadium night variant not having carriables

• make goo granades/canisters more consistent

• increase how loud footsteps sounds accordingly to class type (heavy being the loudest)

• revert sound mix to where it was before 1.6, changes clearly went beyond footsteps. game is sounding a bit weak compared to before.

• fix lights cloak being invisible while they are running/walking on certain cards

[west trellis]

Knocked out after round two, teammate and I both have 12 kills and close to the same scores, we're both plat 4. Why do I get a down arrow and he gets an up arrow? This keeps happening to me. I got a down arrow after getting knocked out in round 3 last night. Is this just a broken visual thing? I'm usually right on par with my team if not leading kills

[keen summit]

This is the reason why Sword is viable, if they remove emotecancel they have make RMB recovery faster

[restive crescent]

any plans getting amd fsr 3 on future?

[tidal niche]

@west trellis I would like the answer to that two.

[unborn rose]

and most of the time those good players can just see you (or hear you) anyway because of the shimmer when you move and the loud buzzing

[fervent vortex]

please never cook again, you lost literally eveeryone at the revert the c4 nerf

[blissful bridge]

Neat ideas, but let me trim that up for you.

revert C4 to 2 charges

increase KS-23 damage to 110
increase FAMAS headshot multiplier
decrease FCAR fire rate and revert recoil changes
revert Lewis gun recoil changes
increase riot shield swing speed and damage to 90
decrease Model 1887 reload time
decrease SH1900 reload time

need help game wont open stuck at boot screen

Some complaints I have about contestant customization:

Some customization options don't make sense. Apparently, you can't put some accessories together even if they don't interfere with each other; making character customization less creative and often repetitive.

• Tattoos and face paint should have their own categories.
• Glasses and masks should have their own categories.
• Faces and special faces should have their own categories.

The existence of clothing recoloring is fine. What isn't fine and doesn't make sense is separating the original from its variations even considering those are simple recolors; making character customization less diverse and often repetitive.

• You should be able to change the t-shirt of certain jackets/hoodies.
• You should be able to change the clothing/accessories of certain items if they have the same model but different color/variations (e.g. the spotlight garb, flak vest, and spotlighter pants).
• You should be able to disable some additional effects and effects on some clothing/accessories (e.g. the L.E.DEMON mask and Ariad outfit).

[orchid quarry]

Asia is infested with cheaters (mostly Chinese), especially Ranked.

[static wolf]

When can these new spawns be fixed? constant third parties and is especially shitty on horizon, making the new map actually dreadful to play at all.

[oak kernel]

I've been finding power shift to be the most fun and fair mode in the game.

I'd love to see modes like it brought to the 3v3 format and also expanded upon further. More modes that are less about winning last second would be great. I'd love to see the money/cashouts kept in somehow though. Like maybe a variant where a broken cashout spawns and spews out money for a limited time, so players need to rush to it and try to control it for as long as possible or something. Just neat variations and changes. Maybe do something with the giant animal floats, like have a giant floating piggy bank move around the map and spew money for one mode - idk just creative stuff to make it fun.

Quickplay cashout definitely doesn't feel 100% built for quickplay since it was built for 2 teams to win in the end. I'd love to see it have some adjustments to make it more 1 team winning friendly. I think it'd be nice to have more variations on the quick-cash type game-mode to for those that enjoy the last second steals to win it all. Bank it can go imo though lol.

[quartz oak]

Oh my $&@# I wish the q times weren’t so long for ranked🥲

[quiet estuary]

The new ranked system is horrible. I Got second place in a tournament. With a positive KD. And I got -3 arrows. Embark ur new ranked system is awful

[fading fox]

guys 22-0 in our game aimbotting and shooting through shields the anti cheat is ass. This current rank system needs changed off of must win for dia+ until the anti cheat actually works.

[queen spindle]

I had 3 arrows up in ranked,came to third round and then got an arrow down. You really making the ranked system worse every update.

Today I faced 22 cheater out of 40 players this is somehow a new record I guess.

When is the problem going to be fixxed? Game is unplayable

[still thorn]

dang the cheaterss

[tulip berry]

well i wont lie i saw a cheater using aimbot and the game disconnected/kicked him he came back after a minute or two but this time he didnt have cheats ...so maybe they def are working on something

[rough ember]

Ranked is outright broken, winning 25 tournaments should give me a rank up but it doesn't.

Also there is a new aimbot out on the Internet, half of ranked matches are using it to boost teammates for money even if they get banned its a throwaway account. It's basically unplayable now.

Becuase of these two issues, watch the player count sink.

[near dew]

I love my elo getting shit on because I die to all headshot aimbot and wallhacks from fresh accounts and since they're gold I get 3 arrows down, it's amazing the amount of people that comment on cheaters in this thread and theres not a single peep from embark at all about it.

[quiet estuary]

NEW RANKED IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. Get second place in a tournament that we lose to a spinbotter that can shoot through shields. And I go down 2 arrows. Thanks Embark

[odd flax]

SINCE THERES LOTS OF CHINESE NEW ACCOUNT USING CHEAT ON TOURNAMENT, PLEASE MAKE HARDER TO PLAY TOURNAMENT FOR NEW ACCOUNT, CHINESE ALWAYS RUINED EVERYGAME USING CHEAT, NO MORE FAIRPLAY *SIGH

[torpid sky]

4 cheaters in the same game and all are highrankers yk what does this mean? that means they have being cheating for too long and still didn't get banned ( they weren't even trying to hide it)

embarkkkk fix the cheaterssssssss

[supple aspen]

Day 4 of asking to bring back the unranked tournaments because not all people are tryhard ranked players. Some of us only have energy and time to play casual.

[full tangle]

cant play the game anymore because it says "intergity check failed" everytime i load up the game

[dry raft]

Please ban cheaters

[elder birch]

i think one time is enough friend, embark does read all of this no need to be worried

hello embark dev who is reading this 👋

[swift fable]

Cheater city, seeing the same kids in diamond lobbies night after night.
Def make sure you report them at very least idk if it even does anything.. my friends have all stopped playing lately so much funnn. Also add 2 factor verification at the very least like ill let you sell my data for some fair ranked games

[near dew]

Hopefully they can start hardware banning these fucks in the event that they actually are banning them

[drifting gorge]

Shut

[lapis oriole]

4 stickers per weapon🙏

[low valve]

definitely agree with that, facing too many cheaters, one light guy uses LH1 and wipes out 3 teams across the map,

Secondly I think the game should provide feedback on reporting cheaters, like any other FPS game does. And pls add chat functionality in-game

[hybrid ginkgo]

[lunar haven]

please nerf flamethrower

[pastel mantle]

HACKERS EVERYWHERE !!!! FIX ANTI-CHEAT ASAP 💀💀💀💀

[last spire]

The cheating problem is getting out of control. There has been a massive increase over the past week, and now the overwhelming majority of ranked matches have at least one blatant cheater.

[wary storm]

We don’t need more nerfs and buffs or limited time modes etc for awhile . Can we just focus on fixing the ranked servers and the cheaters. Get the game into a more playable state. Then start tweaking and adding once the foundation is settled

[crystal umbra]

Lul you know the game is good when people get this addicted

[autumn portal]

do you think they pay attention to this channel?

[dull elm]

Some feedback on ranked current state:

I think the idea (for now) is flawed. You need a total of 48 players to start a game. 48 players on the same server of the same skill level that queue up at the same time

Sure games like apex also have 60 players you queue up with, but that game has so much more players playing ranked

So it's logical that people are getting long queue times or very unbalanced matchmaking

A way to fix this is to remove 1 round (for now). This decreases the amount of players from 48 to 24 so a lot less players. Sure the idea isn't a big ass tournament anymore, but the amount of rounds can still be increased later on when the game has more active players

[keen lily]

ChargingRock#8594 another cheating shit ban him

[jade dragon]

Ban that bitch

[torpid sky]

another hackers and highrankers again

[leaden idol]

Here for hackers, I have clips but cannot post due to leveling reasons

[outer mirage]

This game def doesnt have a cheating problem

[harsh lichen]

I want the old ranked UI back so I can see how much my performance actually matters. I wanna see the point values.

[low valve]

it does feel rly good initially but the problems are ruining this game which is potentially very good if not best.

Like for example people used lewis gun instead of m60 because of its good recoil pattern, but since its recoil pattern was changed, it is pretty much useless.

FCAR and lewis gun fire rate needed to be reduced by a bit while reverting the old recoil pattern , now the fcar and lewis gun both are way less enjoyable due to their current "recoil nerf"

The cheater problem is getting worse day by day, and relying on EAC is pointless, the worse this issue gets, more players will lose hope and quit the game. Secondly, the game must provide feedback when cheaters are reported, that way we get to know that our reports are actually doing something.

Ranking system itself needs to be fixed, yesterday i went till finals round but didnt make it to tournament victory, yet i lost 3 ranking arrows...

Apart from this, I think game needs to be optimized even more, any other FPS game gives 200+ fps, but finals barely reaches 100 fps.

Cheating, cheating, so crazy

[violet jungle]

If we ban all cheaters i guess the player count will drop by 20% 🥲

[keen lily]

good approach lol, if we ban the cheaters the queue times will be even worse XD

[sand skiff]

make it 50%

[odd flax]

IKR CHINESE ALWAYS RUINED EVERYGAME BY USING CHEAT, NO MORE FAIR PLAY/FUN GAME, DEV WON'T LISTEN TO US, THEY SHOULD REGION LOCK CHINA (IT'S NOT XENOPHOBIC) BUT THEY NEED TO LEARN RESPECT EACH OTHER GAMER BY PLAYING FAIR. BUT ONCE AGAIN THEY JUST FEED THEIR EGO.💢

[fiery obsidian]

Agreed. Every match has 2 cheater or more, beaming from 150m+ away using Lewis gun. Dev should region lock China. We need fair play first (insane anti cheat), than newer cosmetics.

[old sparrow]

honestly this game is so fun but the cheaters are becoming more apparent everyday

Is there something wrong with not being able to connect with PS5?
I used to play on my PS5 with a DualSense controller, but at some point I couldn't connect easily.
Even if I am connected, the status is often strange.
Other games connect normally, but with this game I have to endure connection errors over and over again and wait until it connects.
Is there a future for this unconnected game?

FSR 3.0, native vulkan support, and being able to aim the cannons on monaco please

[marsh turret]

Ok so thank you finals devs for the tracker to see your progress in rank. But I truly don't understand it maybe it's just me. But I've been stuck on the third top error to rank up to gold for the past 3 matches wining at least 2 of the 4 rounds and nothings happening. It just stays there. No indication on HOW MANT POINTS I Need to Rank Up. So I'm very lost on how many points I need to finally hit gold. Please expand on this new progression system or please further explain this new progression arrow. Thank you all for the hard work 🙏

[hoary valley]

This a cosmetic idea ahem, MORE ANIMAL MASKS, a black cat set would go super hard

[cerulean elbow]

🙏 add solo bank it to private matches please i need it

[onyx crystal]

Everyone talking about Ranked issues, but here's my problem: It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get into an unranked game. I queued for about 20 minutes and didn't get into a single game. Keep in mind you need 8 games to get your rank, so if you joined later on you can't really play ranked. Add that to a contract being connected to tournaments, and its just not fun. Maybe just default them into Bronze/Silver? And possibly placing in new rank after each unranked game.

[topaz osprey]

New ranked indicator is useless you still dont see whats going on sometimes i get arrow down for being 3rd round somethimes you get an arrow up in first round. also there is no indication how far of im to up or downrank

[obtuse cosmos]

Okay, idea what if heavy got a one bullet 50cal rifle that finally allows for some ranged combat for the big guy or maybe some similar to the tomislov from tf2 where it had a tighter spread but slower rate of fire

[normal condor]

The cheating issue in this game is actually ridiculous, combined with the awful and unclear ranked system - I think its safe to say that season 2 has been a massive flop, I just cba to play this aneurysm inducing game any longer.

[jovial sentinel]

Please give us back the season 1 rankprogress system please. I’m beginng you. I’m either going to lose my mind or might have to quit the game for keeping my sanity

[normal locust]

When fix rank system? embark

[rich wind]

I suggest to use the rainbow 6 system for cheaters. When someone gets banned his name will appear in a corner saying "this kid got banned" or something like that

[torpid sky]

They're not banning anyone to begin with

[remote holly]

I don't really need anything, and I'll be waiting if you take strong action on what kind of cheat programs hackers use. If you give me that, I'll wait while playing. It's a good and fun game, but why are you ruining the game without managing the inside? Why!!! When I play on the Sibal Asia server, I meet hackers in 10 out of 10 games. Does that make me want to play the game? I can't do anything anymore, so all the users are leaving. If I go further from here, I can't save the game and I'm going to shoot the floor as it is, why aren't you saying anything and doing nothing!!!

[tender shore]

Is it planed to blink the game icon if you tapped out when something ingame happens that requires your attention? Maybe like in Overwatch when you get a group invite or a match is found. Sometimes i search for a game and switch to the browser for the waittime and have no idea when the game starts 🫠

[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
• 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

[hard badger]

can you add new level cap please?

[earnest quiver]

can tihis game stop giving me the wosrt people ive ever played with everytime i fucking solo que, like without a doubt i get some fucking idiots who dont know how to play the team while bother other teams are full of people who are playing like theyre life depends on it
also fix the mines, theose mf way to damn quiet

[quick coyote]

skill issue imho

[pastel mantle]

Need ANTI-CHEAT 2.0 fix it before the game Dies !! Please.

[balmy compass]

You just have to get used to it with the small player base unfortunately. I'm in the exact same boat. My advice is to either use LFG channel or just add people you liked playing with when playing solo to friends and invite when they are online. Even if you just duo it's WAY more fun. Even if you aren't using vc just knowing at least 1 other person on team has a brain and is dependable

[hybrid flax]

And that also messes up matchmaking and teams you up with 2-3 leagues higher than in solo. In solo I'm with gold 1, rarely with diamond, but with duo or triple it's always almost all diamonds and gold.

[vestal coral]

but do we want to improve this ranked matchmaking? that I'm always put on a bad team?

[lapis pollen]

No melee and knives balance, no play

[graceful tapir]

The meta pretty much unchanged since Season 1
Fcar is still busted as fuck
Lewis is still busted as fuck
Double heal beam still stack
Dagger and Riot Shield are trash since release
Dagger's backstab hit reg is pure dogshit, i regret trying a weapon that doesn't function cuz yall lazy as fuck to fix it
Still can't hold alt fire on Throwing Knives and Dagger the latter was already present in the beta
Melee attacks don't connect and the hit reg is pure shit for over 2 months and gets worse with every update
Cheaters are running rampant, reaching diamond completely untouched
RPG is still a cheap damage tool that finishes 80% of the fights for an already extremely powerful class
Stun gun disables all 4 melee weapons from functioning, all 4 unique weapons which are already off-meta and extremely hard to use effectively.
Matchmaking is still a joke, putting golds with diamond
Cashout system is still stupid. You defend the station for the entire duration just for a team to steal it at the last second and all your efforts are gone to waste
Spawns are ridiculous, you get wiped and spawn 200 meters away from your own cashout
Powershift is almost unplayable with at least 3 snipers on each team camping at the edge of the map, completely slowing down the pace of the match
Why are we forced to have melee aim assist?
Why do defibbed tokens have collisions?
Level cap has been 50 for way too long
Lvl 7 skins look terrible for 144k XP (shit was so lazy they forgot to add the skin to the throwing knives)
Stop adding recolored cosmetics, that's lame as fuck
Hud/Icons have no opacity for like forever now
Crosshairs are still shit and barely customizable

and what do we get? Furry cosmetic set... With recolored upper and lower body parts
If the next update doesn't bring big changes that'd be really unfortunate for the game when it's already in a terrible state with cheaters
@tired crescent This is more on the sarcastic end, the last update did nothing but add a new cosmetic set.

[tired crescent]

You have valid feedback but I don't know if you genuinely expect the art team responsible of the "furry cosmetic set" to be the ones doing technical updates and game balancing lol

[grand vault]

[lucid bay]

mostly factual but also highly subjective and more importantly it seems like a very unhealthy and unconstructive way to ask for improvements in the game. probably should take a step back and reset your perspective. it's not healthy to brood over things outside of your control, just present the solutions and let the community rally behind them so that the developers take note

[scarlet cosmos]

Second this

[dim path]

Second this. My first game today, my two teammates sat in a corner blowing up consumables with a flamethrower. My second one had only one teammate who went 0-12 while I was 10-4 and banked 32k on bank it. There seems to be no skill based matchmaking at all.

[pseudo breach]

Day 13 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?

[radiant imp]

It's casual matches, the solution is not to solo queue, not everyone jumps on a casual match to play like it's ranked.

And before anyone goes "go play customs if you want to do that", if there wasn't a 6 person minimum for the customs i bet a lot of us would go do it.

[earnest quiver]

@quick coyote It honestly is, when the game thinks youre so good, to the point it thinks you can carry a team of 3 on the resources of 1
(not waiting 30 min to reply) my win rate is around 1/3 of the games and that feels fine due to there being 3 teams in every quick cash game. and that message was talking about qc, i never play solo ranked and only played it for that weekly but i straight up got put in 2 different matches with 2 people who JUST downloaded the game

@balmy compass if i only wanna play for an hour or so i feel as if joining a vc is too much to play like 2-3 games and dip
@dim path litteraly got 2 people who didnt pay attention, tried to revive in the open and got beamed in 2 sec, and people who just run head first in and die without thinking 🤦

[rocky pewter]

still respawning at the opposite point of the map when cashbox on going

[dapper atlas]

Please add recent game statistic! i want to know who I am playing with and the statisitic of my recent game.

[hard badger]

Please check if this person is cheating or not, he killed me behind wall: Speedy#0850. His in game name is Duck and he plays on EU

[quick coyote]

nuh , hidden pool theory getting even here , it's just a bad luck , lol cmon , if there was lobby balance so winrate probably should be 50 +-5% , but me as UNranked player having less than 30% of winrate and 1.1 kda playing with most braindead ppls in solo q , so

and it's not like 1 kill and 1 death every game
some time its 11 0 some time 0 11

---

i mean sure new players will play game and after 1 or 2 wins of rounds NOT a tournament, they can get a gold or even plat as it was to me
most broken part of it imho is q time , cus of some BUG "ty Abou and Aozipuppy" , there is much lower playerbase for ranked as old skilled players , so only way to prey all gods to ged atleast 1 mid player

[magic pine]

rank needs to change at this point id prefer the old "grindy rank" back instead of this bs 3 arrows up for two wins in a row as well as qs before then one round no qaul (with 19 kills and only a few deaths) now im 3 down again

[hollow badger]

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

[solid narwhal]

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

[real moon]

the upcoming patchnotes better fix something or i'm done with the game

[final haven]

s1 ranked system was better in every conceivable way, this new style is practically unplayable

[halcyon depot]

Currently, I don't feel motivated to play ranked tournaments if I can't connect properly or can't play the game.
Even after I advance to the next round of a tournament, my screen still shows the map and I can only hear the sound of the game being played.
Is it possible to rank in such a game? There will be no motivation to rank.

[hard badger]

nerf turret health, the time you kill the turret, enemies already killed you

[quick coyote]

I just got punished in ranked for my random teammate leaving the game. He left in round 2, we made it to round 3 without him and after the game it gave me 2 arrows down on my rank. My stats were even pretty good with a lot of support and objective points and 26 kills but somehow the game decided that tournament round 3 with decent stats and as a team of 2 is worth dropping rank. Please look into this and prevent such things from happening, that is extremely frustrating because there is NO way I can prevent randoms from leaving the game...

[pine kernel]

PLEASE Make it so that when I open the battle pass it opens on the page im currently at

[blazing arch]

For anti-cheat, if you could add kill cam and the possibility to report players using the kill cam to show that they are cheating

If somebody is banned for cheating, everyone who was knocked out playing against them should get 1 extra round of points added to their rank

Combine Quick Cash and Cash Out to one Game Mode - make it generally more beginner friendly, lower respawn time.

Make Ranked Tournaments half as long!

It consumes to much time; also you're scared to face crashes/cheaters in the preliminary round to often.

[dry raft]

That's a good idea, same if you deal with afk/leavers in your team

[real moon]

devs please fix melee hitreg before i go insane

[radiant imp]

Do you really think insulting the devs is going is going to make them listen to your feedback 💀

[woeful arch]

Could we save loadouts, so we could switch in one-click when we hit certain maps, would be neat.

[quick coyote]

Oof sucks to suck

[timber sage]

imo there's two big reasons people won't play it - ai voices and heavy meta
you're best forcing only cod players to this game, who won't care about the former so much, and the latter, either they'll be heavy mains or they'll find their way around it. most other people care about either the ai or movement enough to want to avoid this game

[round oyster]

Great

[uncut nest]

Nobody cares cheaters?Tons of hackers occupy the asian server.

[quick coyote]

I wanted better matchmaking in The Finals because the matchmaking in this game is bizarre. I'm playing casual alone and I end up against a closed group and 2 beginners on my team who are experiencing FPS for the first time in their lives. I think it's unfair that I have matches. so, this is my feedback, improve the creation of matches because lately they are very bad

[misty obsidian]

We need better Ranked games, rankswise...

Why do I, as a silver 2, get to play only against Platinum+Diamond, there are no other Silvers/Bronzes in my lobbies.
Lowest rank I've ever played against in ranked match was Gold.

I'm obviously going to lose, and then I even lose ranks for it.
Like wtf is this?...

[chilly niche]

The ranks barely indicate actual skill level, its essentially time played. Ive had diamond teammates who look like they have never played a video game before, and ive had gold enemies who have shit on my whole team.

[craggy nova]

Yes, every game I played today had cheaters, in Asian and European. In European server players are uniting aginest the cheaters. In Asian players just want get to next round.

[sly estuary]

I cant agree that people dont like this game because AI voice. No one cares if game is good. Like i said in my video 2 main reasons is bad solo experience and MM. Second is cheaters

[dry raft]

Allow players from one lobby to exclude another (minimum of 9 votes, i.e. the 3 opposing teams) for cheating.
Players with malicious intent who postpone a very good player will be penalized. It's a system put in place for the obvious cheats.

[wary storm]

its literally this, just time played, there are no other metrics, its win/loss and time played. personal skill, objective and support scores do not do anything at all. Alsothe block list on this game is so bad "You can manage your list of blocked players here. When you block a player in the game, you won't be able to receive any party invites and friend requests from this player, or communicate with them via voice chat. You may still come across this player while matchmaking." so if i report and block a player for cheating, i will still come across them. a block should be a block

[violet elbow]

what stops me from blocking all top 5000 players to only match into low plat lobbies as a diamond and stomp then?

[golden wraith]

Can we please get full color customization on team colors. The default colors are just way to similar.

[crisp coral]

Too many glitches and bugs atm also filled with hackers in ranked

[late pagoda]

I got 3 cheater games in row, m60 headlock rage hack through mesh across the map in diamond q, drop 300 spots to 1400 a day worth of grind gone

[strong vessel]

the fact that blocking doesnt mean you cant match with them
edit: whoops 🫠

[thick sorrel]

beside the big cheater issue the ranked game mode is unnecessary complicated.

@violet elbow just limit Blocked Players to max 50. I'm happy to wait lil longer for matchmaking when I dont have to face the same cheaters over and over again...

[fervent vortex]

That would be brain dead if that’s how it worked lmao, just fix mmr

[drowsy cargo]

can we please make the practice range a client-loadable environment while waiting for ranked matches?

the queues get long and i'd like to use that time constructively without loading up other stuff.

Day 2 of
Skins go brr
A) Fish skins.
Sword or Sledge skin that's just a fish. Or even better, a swordfish sword and a hammerhead shark sledgehammer. The opportunity is right there. (Also give funny sound effects)

B) Paper Bag headwear.
Poorly drawn eyes and mouth for the funny. Variations for different emotions. Maybe a blank one too.

C) Shuriken throwing knives.
because why not? could have a cool spinny inspect, plus it fits the theme.

D) If want to get really goofy... squeaky chicken throwing knives. Enough said.

If an artist wants to work together on skins pop a DM? I have no artistic talent and would like to see these visualized.

[uncut nest]

Using small hacks and cheats like radio and auto-aim is child's play for cheaters. More cheaters might even increase their weapon fire rates or make bullets pass through shields directly.😫

[vestal coral]

do you want to remove this disgusting stun gun? that allows anyone, even the most noob, to kill? I'm tired of entering games where you continually get stunned by noob toxic players.

[spiral bridge]

Cheaters are killing this game! EAC is a joke! We need SMS Verification/HWID ban. Not foolproof, but it’s damn effective!

[untold orbit]

yo, hackers in high ranks are kind of crazy. they're able to reach that many hours of play time and still not be caught

[spiral thorn]

they all look really dead inside, they have no emotion

[wary storm]

i get what you mean but thats someone abusing it, i just want to be able to play without being matched with the same cheater half hour later. i dont think its the perfect solution but if you abused it like that then you shouldnt be able to find a game if you abuse it and block everyone around you. if you block someone for cheating it should be a block with a reason as cheating. if the person is found not to be cheating then sure remove the block. but im currently blocking cheaters and then being rematched with them the next round and also someone imitating my partners twitch name which is getting her abuse online as they are cheating but they are still active and we have been put with them multiple times.

[silver forge]

If something can be abused, it will be abused. Something like that will not benefit the game and is a really poor solution to a problem that will just cause another. Embark need to sort their shit out and improve the anti-cheat. There's no sugar-coating it lol.

[near ice]

I'm still waiting for that whoopie cushion gas mine skin that farts when triggered and a rubber chicken grenade that 'huuuurs' through the air!

You can call it the Wacky Whistlin' Wonders bundle! 🤣🤙

[upper citrus]

if you could block someone like that, it would require a separate 48 person tournament queue for each person blocked. if every person online has 2 random people they don’t like blocked, queue times would skyrocket to over an hour. do not add this

being able to directly influence a persons queue time by blocking them is extremely toxic

[vestal coral]

guys, do you also spend a lot of time searching for ranked matches? I think the game is really half dead.

[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

[pseudo latch]

Day 29 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, no “pocket minigun” strats, choosing to use this is a commitment
• - gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

[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.

[vale acorn]

The heal beam glitch where it refuses to work at all is awful please make it a priority

how disgusting they are classified as unplayable completely unbalanced people who don't know what to do with 2 kills 8 deaths when it's good and the rest with more than 10 kills then infested by these damned dwarves with no skills. Then I don't understand why in quick games the servers work much better, shots come in and there is no lag, whereas in ranked games the servers are merciful, shots don't come in, lag etc...

• increase hip fire accuracy when stunned, player is already limited movement and equipment wise, why he also need to suffer when shooting. (certain guns are just miserable)

• decrease healing rate from healing beam and rework how many beams can heal one person at a time.

• make dome shields also block bullets from the player and his team. right now its also being used offensively, allowing a lot of free damage while its being destroyed + players shooting it also needs to reload after the matter. its just punishing to engage.

• increase mesh shield deploy delay, so incentives good positioning instead of spammy shield pushes.

• slightly reduce barricades vertical size to avoid "head glitches"

• increase grapple range by 5m and decrease its cooldown

• increase grapple initial momentum speed, so it can be used both in combat or escapes more efficiently

• remove APS being able to block goo gun

• lower suspended structures so jump pads can be used more efficiently

• fix skyway stadium night variant not having carriables

• make goo granades/canisters more consistent

• increase how loud footsteps sounds accordingly to class type (heavy being the loudest)

• revert sound mix to where it was before 1.6, changes clearly went beyond footsteps. game is sounding a bit weak compared to before.

• fix lights being invisible while they are running/walking using cloak

Hey

Ive beeem enjoying this game a lot I rarely spend money on games but this time ive found that the team and the project is super innovativeso i did!
However this game suffers from cheaters like no other game due to the hitscan behaviour of the guns. I encounter cheaters daily, both in my team and in the opposition. Its extremely frustrating and annoying. Ive been reporting cheaters since day1 hope this gets fixed somehow. I also wanted to add that all the cheaters use headshot snapping and there were far less of them in the first season when the playercount was higher.
Hope this gets fixed eventually because this drives people away quick.

[quick coyote]

please, please, please stop giving me a prompt to steal or pick something up if im not actually allowed to do it!! either lock me into the animation once i start holding the button or fix your UI so i no longer am able to be in this situation!! it is such a horrible shame that a game with high skill expression shits itself by not allowing me to express that skill due to bugs and poor implementation.

@rough vessel i have played with both keyboard and controller and had this issue. its caused me to lose so much rank that ive switched inputs over it! no change.

[rough vessel]

are you using controller?

Give lh1 1 more damage per shot

@silver forge ive gotten 4 light weapons basically max level and I don’t think the lh1 is the best it’s 4 hits to kill someone, 3 leaves them at 3 hp. If They upped the damage by 1 I’d say it would be a contender

plus the fact u need dash to use it properly really makes it harder to use as a light main

[rustic snow]

What kind of cheat system is this? Game isn't fun anymore to play and spend at. Just a lot of cheaters in asia boosting party to diamonds!

Tranq dart for medium

[pseudo latch]

As much as i fucking despise defib, I dont think it offers enough on its own to demand a spec slot. RPG definitely doesnt.

KS23 doesnt really need extra damage, and that extra 10 wouldnt do much anyways as it doesnt effect the current breakpoints.
SR really doesnt need to one-shot half the cast, people would get upset with that really quickly.
Sawed off can already two shot mediums from 10 meters, it doesnt need to be able to do it from further, plus it goes against how sawed offs work. Short barrel means loose wad.
XP-54 is still one of the best weapons in the game, it does not need a buff.
If you take away the one good thing barricade has going for it im taking your fingers

Otherwise not some bad ideas here. Id say leave dome alone but I understand the frustration one-way shields can bring.

[rich kraken]

you guys need to address the cheater situation... asia is actually unplayable
we have to resort to playing on europe servers when we live in asia and get 180 ping just to get less hackers. we still run into quite a few in europe but it isnt every single round at least

my suggestion: dont be afraid to get an invasive anti-cheat. valorant has one and it works amazingly. if people dont want you anti-cheat to check their entire pc then they shouldnt play the game.

[chilly niche]

Every single ranked tournament has a cheater. FIX YOUR GAME

[smoky gust]

sniper rework idea

give the sniper rifle damage fall-off for extreme ranges
and give the rifle the ability to destroy walls in 1-2 shots

it would force lights to engage more and operate at a riskier range

at the same time it makes engaging easier, since you can blast a hole in a wall to create your own embrasure and attack from unexpected angles

it also provides utility to the team by helping pressure the defending team out of a fortified position by creating holes to shoot through and by creating shortcuts

[willow wave]

I guess EAC was necessary for such a small dev team but man there needs to be some change in cheater catching policy or strategy, security patches aren't even working anymore

[dreamy mirage]

Can you explain what the hell is wrong with your game? I couldn't connect in the first round after tryin 3 times, lost 3 arrows (as a diamond 3 player is just too much) now I also have to wait 10 minutes, the game is full of cheaters also, and yet still no annoucement for that too what the hell

[blazing arch]

Cheater goes 31-3, all headshots. You're telling me you can't detect this shit?

[fiery obsidian]

Dev/mod don't care about cheater, that's why the anti cheat are useless/garbage from the beginning. If they do ban wave, the game will be dead, and the matchmaking take longer time. Reporting someone is useless too, in my case i have meet the cheater(same guys) using aimbot + Lewis gun beaming people with 41 kills since season 1 still not getting banned lol

[rustic snow]

[rapid stream]

Sniper is fine just annoying doesn’t need nerfs (or a rework) tbh

[little warren]

What do yall think about this?

[smoky gust]

its not supposed to be a straight up nerf
its a rework

make it less annoying by making it weaker on long range but more useful on medium range

[flint swallow]

There are too many cheaters in this game, which seriously affects the balance of the game. This is also the reason why there are fewer and fewer players. I have a way to reduce the cheating software on the market. First of all, you can increase the number and frequency of custom builds. There are many other methods. You are welcome to add me as a friend and send me a private message. I also sent an email to your team, but did not receive a reply. Please tell the security team for me. I suggest making more custom builds or building different builds every hour to avoid cheaters.

[sacred siren]

Feels weird having to play against Chris Kyle every over match but ur right it's not bad in tournamet/ranked modes. It's pretty bad in powershift tho cause there's like on average 3 different people sniping from across the map.

[blissful bridge]

I agree with the sniper damage fall-off at extreme ranges. I don't think it should destroy walls however because Lights have breach charges, which is specifically for destroying walls.

I really think the damage fall-off for extreme ranges would help bring balance to the sniper rifle by pushing them closer to the fight instead of camping at spawn.

[radiant imp]

Pretty much everything in that statement is false.
They do banwaves, they've repeatedly told the community that they are trying to combat cheaters and reporting does do stuff, just because you've seen one person get past the system, doesn't mean everyone does.

As for the anti cheat, they are constantly updating it to combat new cheats and have literally added a new anti cheat this season alongside what they have.

[crimson crag]

It's a lot more than just one lmao

[cold pilot]

100% on emote cancel glitch fix. the sword dash combo alone is annoying enough, but this just takes it to the next level

[vale acorn]

There should be falloff or at least a charge up time like Team Fortress 2 Sniper or Overwatch Widowmaker

[violet elbow]

Sniper should be projectile but do more structural damage/instantly put holes into smaller walls

[stable lagoon]

Let both lights and mediums use sonar grenades and jump pads, mediums could use that area control and lights could use that extra mobility

[quick coyote]

how defib doesnt offer enough on its own? its one of the most used medium gadgets, especially on ranked.
being a spec would make players choose what they value most, quick revives or healing? + it would end the cringe defib chain. it works in the context of the proposed healing nerf. so one doesnt overshadow the other. but i do agree that it might be a stretch.

RPG being a gadget feels like a mistake in favor of fun. the amount of silly combos heavy can do to completely wipe a team with this and c4 is insane. my last game while playing with this class granted me 36/9 on ranked. its going to be really hard to balance RPG in the way it works right now, its why embark already nerfed to 140 damage. the only way forward would be further decrease its player damage or reduce its AoE, it doesnt make any sense.

KS-23 needs the extra 10 damage to balance it out how slow the shotgun is, so you have better chances to make interesting combos to finish a player.

the sniper damage buff isnt going to chance anything other than making heavies die in 4 shots instead of 5.

sawed off, pellets being that spread out means you are losing a lot of damage in oblique angles. which is important in a game everyone are moving like cangurus on caffeine. the fact the reload is slower, means any damage you lose is a death sentence, lights are already risking themselves enough in close ranges. this gun needs this buff.

XP-54, this reload buff isnt going to chance the gun. it has a reload time of 2.7, is slower than FCAR which is 1.8, slower than M11 which is 2 and slower than V9S which is 1.3. keep in mind this gun is less forgiving than any of these three due its fire rate, bullets go out fast. if you miss, you are in disadvantage when you are reloading against them.

removing one or two centimeter from barricade doesnt sound bad to me. heavies can have control of certain advantage points when using it because of "head glitches". and its the class with the most HP.

[proven parcel]

The Finals NEEDS a team text chat and whisper system.

[dreamy mirage]

The finals needs dev to stop screwing up their own game, anticheat is non existant they also changed how the respawn system works nobody asked for it, not to mention you get disconnected midgame and can't reconnect back

[dusk sentinel]

Can console players find rank game already?

[deft moth]

sniper has damage fall-off already believe it or not

though i would love to destroy walls to create LoS to the cashout and defend it from a distance, it might make it way too powerful, then again i'm not sure balancing it would go

theres a reason i bring breach charges when pairing sniper + grappling hook

[pseudo latch]

Imma be real, skimming through this I feel like youre playin a different patch than the rest of us. C4 being considered a threat in its state? Ks23 being too slow?

Defib is a nuisance, but its not enough of a nuisance it would be close to considered viable as a spec unless you dropped the cooldown, and no one wants that. It just doesnt have enough power to justify being thrown in spec, as much as some of us would love to see a lot less of it. Same goes for RPG, if you put it in a spec slot, you would never see it over options like mesh or C&S

KS23 just got a massive buff and really doesnt need anything else right now, plus like I said, giving it 10 more damage doesnt change any of the current breakpoints.

Yeah doing the math now though I guess that damage change wouldnt really do anything to mediums breakpoints, my bad. Still not a change that realy needs to happen IMO.

Sawed off losing damage at further ranges is the price of being able to two shot most classes. Its the pinacle of high risk, high reward. Making it better than it is now will almost certainly make it problematic. Some things need to be kept "weak" so they remain fair.

Turning XP into more of lights FCAR does more harm than good, unless you plan to give heavy something to match. Its already one of lights most oppressive options, making it even better is a bad idea. Guns should not be buffed up to where FCAR is unless you plan to do it to a lot of guns, FCAR needs to be brought down, not the other way around.

Im not gonna justify barricade but I will defend it with my life. You fuckers took everything else from me let heavies have one nice thing god damnit.

[warped haven]

does anyone know if they plan to get rid of emote cancelling for sword lunges? i play sword and it feels like a really clunky mechanic that doesnt feel that rewarding to get good at

[swift laurel]

i want to see lights get a disguise that makes them appear as a friendly to their enemies (including name) for 10 seconds

[keen summit]

Sword is a niche weapon used by a few, why bothered by it being slightly viable and want to completely render it useless? That's the beauty of the game, melee weps are viable among guns, only a few can do that

[rustic snow]

wonk wonk wonk! we played with the same cheaters since season 1. So much for the updates. Don't pretend like it's not an issue. Try playing Asia server with 3man. Goodluck

[abstract hemlock]

add an option to not be put into in-progress games already

[low valve]

yeah that's really annoying one i faced xd, the game disconnects and the game won't even start until the match gets over, and I think this is due to the anti-cheat..

Secondly, I was in party with my friend, and wanted to play ranked, he connected to the server but i was disconnected, and i was never able to reconnect due to the server not being responsive, he ended up losing games and me as well, i too got penalty in both rank and suspension

[radiant imp]

I didn't say it wasn't an issue, I also said that he listed one example of where someone managed to get off without a ban, that doesn't mean that its only one person who has either, I know its a huge issue in Asia servers, I haven't been living under a rock since launch

[warped haven]

im a sword user and i agree that emote cancel needs to go, its a jank mechanic and makes the sword feel less fluid to play. I personally think sword is strong enough without it but if it turns out that it isnt, they can always buff it in other ways that make sense

[smoky gust]

i really dont like that idea

[versed bridge]

You can get pretty used to it just like with most things

I don't really bother with it unless I'm fighting multiple people at once though

[cyan walrus]

how does the new rank system work? I won 2 rounds but still got an arrow down after game..

[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.

[hidden thicket]

I get an arrow down after a win.. my friend won a game and went from d4 to p1. How does that work embark?

[lapis oriole]

Force cheaters vs cheaters matches if anticheats don't work 🤷‍♀️ put quitters there as well

[upper citrus]

this would kill the game

[keen summit]

But in that case we expect them to make 2 good decisions which let's be honest is a pretty big liability that they actually do. Keeping it as it is takes no decision making / effort from Embark, it's safer

[rapid stream]

Making it so people are forced to play certain classes would probably make que times 100x longer and make the game super fucking boring

[balmy compass]

I'd stop playing immediately being forced to play with lights every single time

[quick coyote]

Overall the game is fun but the 2 main problem are cheaters and you cant just play silly 1 or 2 rounds. If your an Student or someone who must work you come home maybe eat something and then wanna play. In The Finals you cant do this. You need to play with your team to have fun if you dont have an mic or just wanna chill you wont talk sometimes with you mates and just play. Maybe an Solo ranked mode or any Solo mode would make the game better

[summer rover]

Asia server is dominated by chinese hacker, thankyou

[slender drum]

devs gotta do something about the cheaters or this game is going to die

[ebon elbow]

My que times are around 1 -3 mins rn so I don’t think it would be much worse,

all light players are asking for buffs because they are not the meta if people had to play as or with lights they would have no choice but to buff them,

plus triple stacking mediums is op

@balmy compass probably because lights arnt in the meta rn

[hearty sun]

maybe im just trash but even in times when they dont get the drop on you, it feels like they empty your health before you can empty theirs, despite them having 150 and you, as a heavy, have 250 (is it 250? 300?) are using a lewis or smth.

KS 2 taps em but if you miss any shots you're dead, and you have little to no time to aim that 2nd shot, it's get those 2 shots off as fast as possible while he's ducking under your legs and dont miss or you're screwed no matter what, at least when they're using SMGs...

maybe its more an issue of the KS not being viable yet, idk...

also @real moon "light is perfect in the dps because of it's health and a good heavy and medium will rarely every lose a fight to a light"

3 words: "stun gun fun"

[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.

[silver forge]

Removing nukes was the best thing the devs did

[quick coyote]

BRING BACK THE CLOSED BETA SLIDE PLEASEEE. combat becomes very stale. I really like how the finals has a sandbox approach to things but the sandbox aspect definitely lacks in face to face combat. Also more airstrafe control would be nice as well as being able to crouch mid air for hurtbox compression. The new movement system feels very unresponsive and sluggish. Please more ground to air momentum conservation. Client side movement, reducing or removing jumpsquat frames, and making chain jumps eat less of your momentum away. Also increase the mantle animation speed as well as add a crosshair indicator or smth for a mantle-able object. omnidirectional sprint and slide as well.

[foggy orbit]

Revert how fame points are given and taken, the fact I can get to the final round, lose out by 1 cashout, and only get 1 arrow is very discouraging, we have no idea what variables are at play, I can do really well, get to knockout 3, and lose rank? What the actual fuck is going on? @pearl kiln can we please get some transparency with how the ranked system awards and deducts fame points please, this is unacceptable and a complete downgrade from Season 1's ranking system. Not only that but we have no idea how much rank score we are getting, and how are progress is going on the current rank, I've been stuck at Diamond 4 for a while, not knowing how much more I need to get to Diamond 3.

[stiff junco]

The invis lights neeeeeeeed a cooldown fr

[plucky badger]

I completely agree ranked is extremely demotivating to play when you hit diamond because unless you win the tournament you will only see down arrows every single time. Making me not want to continue playing with fame points you would see that you went up and made progress to getting a higher rank/going up on the leaderboard but with the new system it just feels like I’m going down every game unless I get a first place

[wary tapir]

[thick wyvern]

EMBARK PLEASE ADD A HOTKEY FOR QUICK PING ~ ENEMY HERE‼️

[balmy compass]

It's because an overwhelming amount of players that attract Light aren't even people that want or can play as a team. Has nothing to do with meta. I don't care about people picking Light it's just that people pick Light then run around trolling losing 1v1 all the time so it's like playing 2v3 because even IF they win a 1v1 the other person is most likely getting ressed, defibbed+healed because they kill them not even close to a cash out or with the rest of their own team to even capitalize on their negative KD when they actually do get an elim. It's the same for all 3 classes if they are played like but most Light players default to it and just doesn't seem to care at all. Not to mention when solo q Lights are pretty much never in vc, wonder why 🤔

[fleet marsh]

So when we fixing the game devs? Going the cod route and only putting out skins instead of making your game better? Crazy, all the games are now are people with invis and stun or full teams of med with turrets, aim bot turrets that have more health then a light, 3 sniper shots to destroy it same as a med, basically a extra player, but nah keep putting out skins right? Cs why not

[somber snow]

When a teammate is dead on top of a cashout, it's impossible to see the status of the cashout from a distance. This could be remedied by showing them side by side.

@fleet marsh You say the game is going the COD route but provide an example of unbalance as sniper vs turret. Sniper in close range is generally cod-like gameplay... Your general argument makes sense though

[vital loom]

Exactly

[zealous schooner]

consider rewording this because i stick with my team you inconsiderate prick

[strong vessel]

You might be surprised that game designers and gameplay programmers are in fact not the same people as those working on content, and you cant expect to just bunch them up and somehow make things go faster. Its okay if you wish to see changes, but you have to understand that people working on content (maps, skins, ...) will operate the same way regardless of the current balance/cheater situation.

[foggy orbit]

Another reason to hate ranked, why am I given dogshit, bottom of the barrel garbage, meanwhile the enemy team consists of players that play well and have awareness. I carry my team through knockout 1, die lose knockout 2, and I am punished again and lose rank?!?! No matter what I do I'm punished, I fucking hate this, as if solo queuing wasn't hard enough in Season 1, you're now forced to group up, how fucking demoralizing @pearl kiln

[cosmic pond]

Yo when are we going to stop going down by two bars for making into the finals with a +2 KD and getting first place every other round.

@deft moth well clearly placement doesn't cause I'm losing two bars in the final round.

@deft moth so if it ain't placement. And it ain't performance. Wtf is it

[deft moth]

dude really thinks KD matters in ranked placement

[ebon elbow]

Well I was d1 last season as a solo light and I’d say if LMH was a thing atleast people would complain about them enough to the point where embark would either buff lights or add more utilitys to help ur tm8s,

I understand where ur coming from but id say that what ur saying isn’t in the higher ranks (plat/diamond)

[balmy compass]

Majority of players aren't in plat/dia. From what I've seen on this discord and feedback there is definitely lots of people that just don't want to play with lights period. However when people complain about them in their teams it's usually how they play, not what they play. As the original feedback was to try and force LMH. Which I vehemently can't agree with considering how the majority of Lights play in where the majority of the player base resides. Not to mention that The Finals want to be a experimental ish kind of game with lots of various tactics and shenanigans that will be killed so hard and make for a much less interesting game. I don't mind playing vs x3 Mid with healing and x3 defib. If you know they run it play around it.

just tryna get the idea out there people agree aswell scroll up you will see reposts...

The casuals and people that love to grind have nothing to earn once they hit level 50 and reach diamond make 1000 levels and every 100 levels give a cool icon symbol that's displayed so ranked isn't the only thing people grind for....

I have had every item unlocked since season 1 and when season 2 dropped I got all the new items within a few hours

I would also add that you need to make more uses for the currency you can buy gear/equipment with.... maybe Crates or boxes or even skins that are Hella expensive but are worth the grind... just a thought🤷‍♂️

You miss understood I didn't get the battle pass items within hours I ment the new guns/gear

The battle pass took about 3 weeks to complete if I could post pictures I could show yall🤣

No chance you got every season pass item "within a few hours" without just buying every level. I don't disagree with your idea, but that's just not possible. And that doesn't even include the circuit items that aren't all completely out yet anyway.

[high wing]

so many cheaters....

[proven parcel]

Lol a lot of people did ask them to change spawn system.

[mossy basalt]

Has anybody else noticed that you get the league update thingy after every single game, including the non-ranked? Drives me crazy....

[hollow tree]

clear cheating over in bunny bash, tiktok/echo777 is literally advertising cheats and exploits for sale

lmao wtf happened to lewis

i dont play heavy but holy shit this thing is ass lol

[swift laurel]

need the ability to turn off lobby sfx including crowd noises because this crap sounds like a mosquito in my right ear and i really dont want to have to turn on sfx / audio at the start of each match then turn it off at the end

Add MnK to console embark

All I ask is for two grapple charges on behalf of the new Light players

[quick coyote]

How come the in game name I'd different for me and my friends. Like I am KingWhit_30 but for my friends I am something random. It is not like game changing if it does not get fixed. But it would just be a nice Quality of change

[oak bough]

Been having sum problems with the semi automatic weapons like it doesn't wanna shoot in a constant stream. It'll shoot a few an then stop and shoot again

[unkempt quarry]

yeah

[balmy compass]

Got some actual feedback though. Specialization should be added like a badge same as rank. Would make it way easier, especially for newer players, to make better strategical decisions. People just don't seem to care what they are up against or what their own team is rolling with most of time. Assuming all mids are healing, assuming all heavies are shield. Another note on that should be to add a inspect loadouts when spectating. Just press J and you can see your whole teams loadout. Again, to help people make better decisions more easily.

[simple quiver]

add a pve mode

[tidal niche]

@balmy compass they already have a feature that lets you see the whole team load out.

[jaunty rivet]

I think he means in game not just the selection screen

[lone brook]

Could you give us an option to disable the aim assist for melee weapon in keyboard and mouse?
Most of the time the camera go crazy trying to align the hit automatically and not only i feel like i'm not in control, but i can't get a grasp of how to hit by myself, so i can't get better at it (specially with the dagger, for normal backstabs).

[candid belfry]

Hi I just wanted to say I love the game it's absolutely brilliant but I am experiencing an issue where my achievements are not tracking properly. I was just wondering if there is anything you could do about it

[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.

[subtle copper]

the overtime timer is still bugged. it might show 35s of overtime, but you'll enter overtime and it'll show a whole minute. i suspect this happens because the first cashout adds up to 35s of overtime and then another one activates later which doesn't override the old 35s

[sonic salmon]

I think for ranked we need it so that ever round the qualifying teams need to switch to the other side so its not the same teams to spice it up a little

[dusk forge]

this lobby is really ridicolous...i feel with you. Absolutely same here...its killing even the last fun for me

[quick coyote]

FIX RANKED - elo is fukd

[rough herald]

Map Suggestion:

Let have a map at the stunning architecture of vienna where tram are plenty and the vibrent color will lift our contesten mood

[vapid lance]

i feel u

[balmy compass]

Ever more suggestions. Add a cooldown indicator to your team mates for their gadgets+specialization so you can easily track if heavys mesh is broken, if they got dome, if a medium has defib. Yet again, to help new players with awareness and make informed decisions. Maybe just a copy of your own cooldowns but much smaller and semi-transparent. Another thing that maybe could be added as an option in settings to highlight edges you can climb with a green line, very subtle though and obviously only in close proximity. Sometimes it's not the easiest to know and you end up dying thinking you can climb away when you can't.

[swift skiff]

for a week I get nearly every game "disallowed tool detected" alr contacted support but didnt help. fix pls

btw only thing running on my pc (besides the finals) is discord and youtube

[marsh turret]

Ok so thank you finals devs for the tracker to see your progress in rank. But I truly don't understand it maybe it's just me. But I've been stuck on the third top error to rank up to gold for the past 3 matches wining at least 2 of the 4 rounds and nothings happening. It just stays there. No indication on HOW MANT POINTS I Need to Rank Up. So I'm very lost on how many points I need to finally hit gold. Please expand on this new progression system or please further explain this new progression arrow. Thank you all for the hard work 🙏

[modern wedge]

instead of charges it should just get faster cd and even faster cd when its a short range grapple

[mental frigate]

Like titanfall2?

[stark slate]

im getting 2nd place in the final round -1 arrow and i have over 1kd the entire match with like 20k healing and than i get 3rd place -2 arrows 2x in a row, im currently d3 and lossing points exept when i win where i get +1 arrow

[safe delta]

Big probs to the whole The Finals team! ❤️
It’s a bit unbalanced at the moment with the match making but, I want to ask you another thing. This is especially for the Nexon team, please please please can you bring some COMBAT ARMS Operators inside the finals as outfits and please please please the Gam gang Style Granate 🫶🏽 Pretty please 😊

[stark maple]

Make a mode where I win every time

[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.

[quick coyote]

We need a story/ campaign mode 😀pve*

[glad thunder]

The Ranked System Now is broken lose in the first round -1 arrow and lose in third round -2 arrow what is this shit

[hollow badger]

nerf light/midium guns buff heavy

[grave yew]

@sinful gazelle BRO DO U KNOW HOW THE NEW RANKING SYSTEM WORK?

[quick coyote]

i personally just love the competition this game invites. its a completely fresh format for fps that involves strategy, a goal, and has a “pick up and play” gameplay loop.

any other “competitive” game on the market right now (sans rocket league) is either a battle royale or a position based shooter that is all downtime if youre playing properly (mobas, valorant) [we dont talk about overwatch]

theres definitely something to say about people who play for reward, but id ask why anyone is really playing videogames if the experience isnt rewarding enough. with that said, the diamond grind is so important for harvesting that competitive edge, as anywhere else people are making plays on whims that ultimately make the game too easy or impossible. power shift is a step in the right direction for this issue.

[drifting gorge]

Please add the sun back to the game, y'all removed it for no reason. It's way too dark rn even though the map says daytime

[limber umbra]

People play for fun but also to escape the real world if your playing and see there is no reward for your time spent why play that game when there are others that actually reward you for playing more or Showcase how much effort you have put in

most of us work and still want to show that it doesn't take 100 years to reach the top it takes skill having no rewards or progression at all really defeats the purpose of playing for alot of gamers @quick coyote

[dusk forge]

ranked shit, MM shit

[sacred siren]

• i like how the new rank system is. d1 players shouldnt be half the leaderboard, and the top rank should feel like an achievement rather than just something that everyone has. everyone's just being a crybaby cause they were d1 last season and cant make it out of d4 this season. dont cave to the whiners
• rank arrows are good, more transparency would be nice. sometimes you get 3 down arrows from losing final round, other times only 1 down arrow from losing first round. idk.
• give feedback when cheaters that you report are banned. without any feedback it feels like people are never punished for cheating.
• common sense anticheat would also be nice, but i can see why its not added cause of easy false positives (i.e. 100% headshots over 20+ kills or something stupid like that)
• maybe hide rank symbols in scoreboard during game? noticed that alot of players will avoid higher ranked players in favour of picking a fight they think they'd more likely win, usually resulting in 3 teams on one cashout and 1 other team doing nothing
• please make it so that you spawn at ACTIVE objectives - ongoing cashout, unopened vault, etc.; makes no sense to spawn on inactive cashout -- most of the time they're the team that got wiped fighting for vault -- youre just spawning them infront of the team that won the fight, punishing them for no reason
• would also be interesting to see if you guys have an active staff member for each region that deals with live bans, reviewing recently uploaded clips of cheaters; resulting in more timely punishment. would be awesome to see a cheater that started aimbotting in first/second round being banned by 3rd round

[smoky gust]

i don't like the glitch effect that appears when you get wiped

its annoying to have something constantly shake in the corner of your vision
it can also make judging the game state at a glance hard, forcing you to tab to look at it
and i don't think it even makes sense from a lore perspective, you have been wiped and are moved into ghost mode, its supposed to be that way, its not a glitch

i there here less is more

[balmy compass]

The arrows only indicate how much the last game pushed you towards new rank. However that is still completely arbitrarily. Think of it as 1 arrow is 30 points, 2 arrows 60 points and 3 arrows 100 points. Again, still arbitrary and pretty much same as not seeing anything at all.
@glad thunder Don't lose to lower ranks and perform better else you are gonna lose more. Same as most other elo games.

[marsh turret]

The thing is. I've been at three arrows for the last couple of days playing Fianls with nothing moving up or down or No rank up. Just stuck at Three Arrows up 😅. I keep making it to at least the second to last round of the finals

[spice pollen]

NERF LIGHTS

[dull elm]

I don't really understand the steal 15 cashouts challenge
Well I do but don't get why it's not team based

The other 2 challenges I heard were "cashout 150k" and "get 10 wins" both team based challenges

Just the challenge in general is weird because it makes you be selfish and go for stupid cashout just for the challenge, maybe even sabotaging ur team just to get it

It would've been a lot better if it was team based and it going up if ur teammates also steal

Oh and I've heard the argument "challenges should be hard" but this isn't hard it's just plain out annoying and promoting a selfish playstyle
I'm all for hard challenges but like I said this isn't hard just very very annoying

[leaden idol]

I played a Ranked match where a team had 2 people using cheats. My team and I quickly realized it and simply played just by touching the boxes for $1000 and putting it into a cashout station for $2000 and tried hiding for the rest of the game as everyone else kept getting wiped. The cheaters would find us and try to knock us out as well, they did not like this as they were able to capture every cashout station in the game until they let another team take the final cashout of the game just to knock us out because we refused to feed them...we were cheated out of a win and loss to our rank

[past widget]

Please pause the cashout timer when somebody steals it. I've encountered numerous situations when I or my teammate was stealing a cashout, but we just didn't have enough time to complete the steal and the money went to the other team. It is extremely annoying and feels unfair. Players should have the opportunity to steal at the last second.

Sup guys I just wanted to share my experience with ranked. Atm I’m top 500 diamond 2 and I just played a game where I lost in the finals with good stats and still got 3 points down.

[versed cloud]

Support score and objective should have some sort of value in calculations rank progression. It only seems KDR at the end of the ranked game matters for score.

[balmy compass]

It's not though. You got ages to complete it. Only stupid morons would do what you suggest to complete something faster that you'd complete naturally by just playing the game normally for some very poor looking skins nonetheless. However I will agree with that there are probably lots and lots of people that fall under that category so I'll chalk it up to devs being a bit naive.

[pseudo bridge]

new Ranked system is trash..... no other opinion about it I've been top 500 every season and it seems like this new season destroys you for losing under any circumstances( solo queue, bad teammates, etc.) when that logically doesn't make sense... it's like embark is catering to the ximmers this season because those are the only people who won't miss and never lose... even being a former top 10 thus new season is just bad... it used to be a quota to get on top 500 now you allow all the names that weren't ever on the list or relevant to have a fake sense of ego😂... pls bring back fame points it'll show who's actually good or not

[carmine dust]

I just went from 91 to 161 because i went out first round. it took 5 wins to get those positions lmao - games fucked

can we fix the damn re-connect on ranked? it lets me reconnect and it disconnects me. All because the game crashed on loading screen. The bug exists since open beta.
@quick coyote can u kick me from the lobby if i give u a discovery ID? maybe then i can rejoin properly

Can someone explain why we, Platinum 3 rank #10500 fellas get paired with global rank #56 in a match

[mossy herald]

player volume?

[still yoke]

If you guys want your game to get more players get rid of skill based matchmaking.ranked and casual modes dont need it instead what they do need is connection based matchmaking for casual modes and a ranked based matchmaking for ranked and instead of the system you got where you climb based on mmr instead replace it to where you climb based on winning

[past moat]

Okay I’m about to lose my absolute mind with this ranking system. What the hell is going on? I have won TWO tournaments and both times I got only 2 up arrows (for winning a whole freaking tournament?!?!) In a 3rd tournament we got knocked out in 3rd place in the THIRD round at the very last second (still had 34,000 cash) and I got 3 down arrows…. Overall I have DROPPED rank today with 2 tournament wins and 1 3rd round loss. This makes absolutely NO SENSE. I’m currently top 1000 and this shit is maddening. Please embark, fix your ranking system!

[quiet solstice]

S2 balances changes have been underwhelming

[solid narwhal]

Wdym, I don't see why people are so pressed whenever someone asks for kbm on console. If they add ibmm it would be fair for everyone. It wouldn't even effect your experience on the game

[sacred siren]

I hate to say it but it's a skill issue lmfao. S1 was an hour counter. S2 is winrate based. If you can't get on leaderboard in s2 it says alot about your ability to consistently win.

[grand iron]

Embark if i could say anything that i would like to see improve is the time to kill, i don't want much, the game is great i love it, I just want a 1% or 2% damage increase on guns that need a bit of help on some classes

[versed cloud]

Hackers in ranked are out of control, also getting a negative Chevron after reaching round 4/4 is literal madness coding.

[rotund aurora]

Idk man you sound like you have the fake sense of ego. Just because some players were not on the leaderboard a season ago(aka the "first" season of the game), doesn't mean they should never be on it in the new season.

[empty gyro]

Ngl this just a bad take. S2 isn't harder. It's just stupid. Getting to final round should never be a down arrow. Ever. Period. Idc if you go 0-25. What's the point of beating all those people just for you to go down? It doesn't make sense. And when the spawns are bad then it's impossible to win every game. S2 is also just an hour counter FYI (with a tiny amount of skill needed)

[balmy compass]

I don't know if it's possible but I saw another user suggest adding for this channel on actual feedback/suggestions. I know all emotes was removed due to abuse but still. Would even be beneficial for both users and Embark to easies shift through all of this to see what users like and not like.

[grand vigil]

can we earn battlepass progression when we hit the level cap without having to do contracts just by playing? it feels like there is no point in playing after you finish the contracts once you hit the level cap

Spawns are still poop, please fix

[quartz oak]

Agreed

[pseudo bridge]

horrible take i can tell you ended season 1 with 30k fp max😂 same argument every trash kid says... last season the end of the list ranged from 50k fp to 150k fp at the end of the season to even get on the list.. meaning that trash kids who weren't good and didn't apply pressure didn't show up... yet this new system allows you to be t500 at d3?? when tf has that been a norm before you had to complete all of diamond and climb 30k ranks to even be on the list... tell me how that isn't more skill based than this new system that takes away your numbered progression and shoots you up and down the list at random.... it's not skill lil bro if you weren't t500 last season and ur t500 this season theres a reason why🤣.... just easier entry and a fake sense of ego... truly sad

[shy swan]

  thoughts?

[rain gust]

All this feedback on cloak being "overpowered" in Season 2 of all times feels out-of-touch. We've spent 3 betas and a season with light being the weakest class. Closed Beta 1, the cloak used to make no sound at all, and the LH1 was the most broken gun at the time. Open Beta, V9S + cloak dominated and picked off isolated teammates with ease. These times were before recon was used as much as it was in Season 1. No one seemed to be vocal about cloak being overpowered. Yet, even with cloak being a very strong specialization here in Season 2 and gateway taking the spotlight as an S-tier gadget, light remains to be the weakest class. My longest-main teammate refused to pick light up still in Season 2 in his push to Diamond, and he mained light in Closed Beta 1.

Cloak is fine where it's at.

[night glen]

I did about 6000 dmg with the heavy and the flame thrower, almost all with the flame thrower, but this broke game gave me just over 1900 dmg with fire. WTF!?!?

[plain plinth]

new map sez 2i s worst map ever in the history of gaming . I dont want to play it ever . Make an option to skip it , not to be matche make@with that . Its horrible. Love the game but the new map is a fail for me

[balmy compass]

So 15 up and 8 down? Doesn't seem too far fetched you didn't rank up considering we don't know your starting point. Not saying the system isn't terrible just that the numbers doesn't really relate to anything at all so. Could also argue with -3 at start you only banked +4 total which makes it even more plausible to not rank up

[tropic coral]

Herro, keep cloak f*** the stun gun. Bye

[upper citrus]

fame points were literally just an hour counter last season. i finished top 100 in S0 which used the exact same fame points system and it was literally just "how long could you play the game for." There was next to nothing "competitive" about it.

As for being t500 in diamond 3, I'm not sure if you know how an ELO system works. The "fame points" still exist and are used to track the general skill of a player, they are just hidden from you. The only reason there are diamond 3 players in top 500 (there arent any btw it ends at d2 now) is because there are not 500 diamond 1 players. It's also very possible to lose FP now which was next to impossible to do last season. And now with an almost functioning SBMM system, the new system is a lot more competitive.

And even with all this, the system still needs a ton more work in the same direction to be even less of an hour counter. It should be easier and more consistent to lose fame points. You are literally just being put closer to your real rank.

[quick coyote]

I agree! Cloak is just fine as it is, even though I main Dash. The reason players, mainly casuals complain about it is stun gun and how problematic of a tool it is. Always paired with cloak for easier stuns is giving cloak quite the bad reputation.

[keen lily]

ranked makes 0 sense, I lose on the first round in plat2 and get minus 1 arrow, but I lose in the 2nd round and get -2 XDDDD fix this shit!!!!!!

[versed cloud]

Ranked solo queue is literally: let's match you with two players of significantly lower rank and skill than yourself then let's see if you can carry them.

[pseudo bridge]

you kids use zero logic with this hour counter argument u still had to destroy full lobbies and stack dubs continuously s1 idk how u kids got to t500 prob light stun.... now all of a sudden this season is so skill based and more "competitive"...I'm t500 every season on the finals it's not skill this season lil bro with the bare minimum of t500 being d2?? BE SERIOUS compared to last season u having to be D1 with an extra 30k-50k rank of grinding.... UR DELUSIONAL and displaying crazy levels of ignorance😂
