Go sleep alrdy man you have not said one sentence that made sense tonight.

[still yoke]

A gernade icon to warn you theres a frag

[sacred siren]

Go to bed lil bro. If you were half of what you boasted you would have been d1 already. Should have applied more pressure and won more than you lost

[smoky gust]

nukes don't work (not fast ones anyways)
there will always be situations where someone is being one-shot if they exist
a fight should never be over, before it even started

data reshaper doesn't work as counter because of range
you need to be in what's essentially melee range to disarm it, at that points its just about what player can click faster
there is little skill involved in hoping you press faster than the other guy

at the same time, what if you dont want to run medium/data reshaper?
its already a pretty underwhelming gadget and you're now forced waste a slot to run it, as it is one of the few ways to actually counteract nukes somewhat

light and heavies don't have data reshaper, so their only option is shooting it

but if you ever start shooting a nuke the heavy will just instantly throw it (if they haven't already)
the heavy has 0 risk, meanwhile you can be one-shot
a single gadget slot should not have this much power

dont bring back nukes

[edgy wharf]

Nukes can be destroyed incredibly easy

[glad ore]

Good.

[merry totem]

Not specific to your example, but is there any chance that Embark is actually adjusting for the relative ranks in the lobby? Suppose your team had the best ranks in the lobby going into the tournament and unsurprisingly made it to the finals, but then just got unlucky losing to a team that had plat players going into the tournament. It still doesn't seem fair to lose points for that (although I suppose the tournaments where some of our winning is luck balances that out potentially), but it could explain something like that happening to your ranking. Lots of people have the impression that the ELO algorithm just feels broken, though, so you have plenty of company.

[timid flicker]

We were full dia yh and the last team was p4 p1 and d3

[elder blade]

only delusion I can see is you thinking that S1 top 500 meant anything other than "this person has a lot of time to play ranked". As long as you got past first round (pretty easy) you would get FP. rinse and repeat for 16 hours a day and you'll be top 500 sure

[dense ivy]

Please buff recon senses. The 30m range is getting me killed by cloaked light snipers 😭

[night glen]

"WIN ONE TOURNAMENT!!!!!!" Who thought that was a good idea for the entire player base? Unless you play purposefully bad, to get your ranking low, your chances of winning ONE tournament are very low.

[upper citrus]

“bare minimum being diamond 2” are you not understanding??? there simply just are not 500 diamond 1 players. the season started recently and everyone’s rank reset. how are you meant to have t500 be all d1 if there are not 500 d1 players. you’re arguing against literally math itself

[past moat]

This is the type of shit I’m talking about. Makes ZERO SENSE. At all.

[empty gyro]

Yes but at least it was consistent lmao. Also round 2 gave like 25 points so no you couldn't just round 2 your way to top 500. No matter how many hours your putting into the game. Also. This ranked is just objectively worse no matter which way you argue it. I don't mind going against people my skill level and it being harder to rank up. But 3 times now I've been to the final round and went down 2 arrows. Like just logically that doesn't even make sense. Getting to the final round should be plus everytime. The fact it isn't means something is very wrong with the rank system. BECAUSE bare minimum I'm outperforming 18 people. (Assuming I get 2nd place every round and not including the other lobbies I'm not playing in)

[quick coyote]

remove cloak :3

[still yoke]

Get rid of sbmm its bad for your game and its just ruining the fun of the casual player and scaring them off and its also the reason ranked sucks.a game can be good without sbmm and it could also be competitive at the same time too but having this rigged matchmaking system is terrible i want this game to suceed but the only thing stopping you is the sbmm in casual and ranked modes

[candid cobalt]

I think you missed the point on this one, having consistent points added isn't a good ranked system for determining player skill, it just rewards those who have the most time to play.

I.e If I get 100 points for winning and only have the time to play two games a night (assuming I win both), a person who has the time to get round 2 or higher, which is not much of an ask, but has the ability to play 10+ games will end up with 250+ points by the end of the day (assuming you get 25 for round 2). Does this mean the latter is indicatively a better player? Not at all

Also hate to burst the bubble on the whole "arrows up vs arrows down" argument, but you understand that all of this is based on an underlying ELO system right? The systems attempting to balance you from your current rank to what it perceives to be your "actual" rank tanking into account all other teams rankings and ELOs from all prior rounds that you've played in, if youre D1 and not absolutely crushing all other Silver/Gold players each round by a significant margin, are you surprised that the system isn't rewarding you?

Just my two cents, i've been playing since the start of the season and am yet to have a down arrow on anything other than the odd second round loss, which I prefer over still getting a consolation prize of 25 FP

[violet wing]

great, first ranked gametoday : one leaver from the beginning, next game, TWO leavers. starting the game alone. JUST GREAT !

[normal locust]

Embark fix that shit. its annoying

[humble osprey]

Make keyboard and mouse compatible with ps5

[keen lily]

I get to the second round in plat2 but in the end I get 3 arrows down lol, this seasons ranked system is a joke. I was not even the worst in both rounds.

[limber umbra]

That's not up to them @humble osprey get a converter or a cronus and just don't use to for scripts use it for the conversion it does for you just a thought🤷‍♂️🤣

But hopefully they patch that being possible too soon tired of getting killed by kids on mnk on xbox it's insane

@normal locust just restart application it fixes most bugs temporarily

[junior dawn]

show all animations even the locked ones PLEASE when you go to select what animations you want and even if it requires a certain skin just make it use the skin then when you preview it!!

[empty gyro]

So you say you have been playing from start of season 2 which means you missed out all of season 1 and the context for my first reply but I'll still respond. THERE should be some consistency. It doesn't have to be 25 points for round 2 but it just doesn't make sense. I've been knocked out round 2 and went up but round 4 is down 2 arrows. No sense is being made. And rank will always be about who can put more time in. (Generally speaking)

So when I said 25 points for round 2 I was referring to season 1. Where 2nd round was 25 points. HOWEVER a win was 690 points. So you argument of. "Well if I win 2 all they have to do is play 10" like no. Winning 2 on old system would put you over 1200. They can no just play 10 games. They actually have to play a lot or get far in the tourney. Aka they couldn't reach top 500 just by second rounds.

I hate to burst YOUR bubble. But anything based on an underlying system is doomed to fail. What calculate my elo? Or someone else's? It's attempt to balance me is absolute garbage. And isn't stated clearly. And as for the if your crushing silvers and golds. This is the worst logic ever. BASICALLY what your saying. Is if I create a new acc I can just bully diamond teams and make them go ultra down because my "rank" says I'm gold. How tf is that skill? How is that balance? So if all the gold teams decide to full focus my diamond team I get punished? Doesn't make sense. And yes there are instances where it feels like a 3v9.

You've just gotten lucky you haven't seen a down arrow. Your probably Plat. And it wouldn't be a consolation prize if everyone was diamond. Then getting to round 2,3, etc would be rewarding because I fought actual good people. Rn it just feels like luck mixed with broken mechanics tbh.

[rain drum]

. Is it just me or the goo gun should not be a specialization it should be a gadget. because it really doesn’t bring enough to the table.

[subtle spindle]

please nerf flamethrowers, it is genuinely impossible to do anything against them whilst playing power shift, yes i know as a light i can turn invisible, however the moment i step on the platform against a heavy with a flamethrower it is impossible to kill them because it takes at least 2 full mags to kill them, and before i finish the first mag im already dead, i tried playing as a medium against flamethrowers and it is still impossible, if anything needs to be nerfed its either the flamethrower damage or how tanky the heavies are.

[lime burrow]

The biggest complaint my crew has and most people have is the ranked progress system, it just doesnt feel rewarding, Grinding out hours a day winning multiple back to back with no idea when you will rank up is just infuriating, I won 3 games and got to third round the other 3, lost round one on the 7th with a dc and instantly deranked like bruh

[gilded veldt]

why can't we use Japanese Kanji when changing our Embark ID?

[pseudo latch]

Man you sure love to type t500. Actually you just like to type in general.

[tawdry adder]

I currently think that the heavy class is underpowered (only top 50 players are heavy instead of top 100) embark should make rpg and dome shields 2 charges

[real moon]

stun gun isn't op just learn to hipfire, plus both medium and heavy have better dps with the fcar and lewis gun

[candid cobalt]

Ok so for clarity I've been playing since release, hit D1 in S1 (~#4000) and am D4 (~#2000) In this current season, what I meant was that my experience of the arrows is from the start of season 2.

As for the examples I made in the original post I was using the 100 vs 25 as just placeholders, but my point still stands. If a person who wins 100% of the time and gets 690 a game but can only play two matches a day gets less points than a person who places consistently second 100% of the time but can play 4+ matches a day, does this mean the person who can play more is the better player? Even though they consistently place lower than player number 1, I don't think there's a scenario in which you can argue that they are.

With regards to ELO, the majority of competitive online shooters use some kind of underlying ELO system to determine a players rank and have done so successfully, CSGO DOTA LOL etc. The reason the system works better there than it does in the finals is that they enough players at all ranks to fill lobbies with players that one specific rank (or close enough) as opposed to the finals where lobbies have to be filled to the best of the matchmaking systems ability, if you then get into those lobbies and underperform comparatively to the golds/silvers in said lobby, of course your ELO is going to decrease. Additionally I think the main problem is the fact that the finals attempts to display actual ELO change to the player which is either confusing or misleading to most people, I don't think people would complain about it as much if there was no indication of this and it would just display the rank when it increased/decreased, which is basically how CSGOs system does it

Also what you described in the second part of your post would be smurfing, which is a problem almost all competitive online games suffer from, as it does cause issues within ELO systems and is often a bannable offense in some games. As for being fully focused by a team full of legitimate golds, I think if your'e a diamond player you should be able to outperform the lower level players no?

As for your final point, that doesn't make sense, it shouldn't be rewarding to LOSE, if you play against good players and lose, you are worse than they are, its a tournament consisting of 16 teams, if you finish in the round of 8, you haven't won anything, you've objectively LOST the tournament and should go down in rank

Also I get why they have slowmode in place but this is seriously annoying when trying to have an actual conversation

[pseudo bridge]

yeah thats all ive ever been since ive ever played the finals.. T500 can you relate?? and none of you kids can provide a solid counter argument just emotional blabbering.. sad

[elder blade]

is hitting top 500 in the finals the only thing you've achieved in your life?

[tight oxide]

hello In ranked tournament mode, after the first game is finished, it does not move on to the next round. When I enter the game again, I get penalized. This problem happens all the time.

[pseudo latch]

The only one throwing a tantrum here is you lmao. Maybe step away from the keyboard for a bit, get some water.

[lean birch]

Matchmaking ranked is broken

[upper citrus]

i like how you say this but completely ignored that you argued against math itself LOL

[robust swan]

Yes. I don't need to know my ranking every time I play a quickplay match.

[empty gyro]

Ok ty for the clarity. I ranked 846 in S1 and around 700 currently.
And yes I know they were placeholders but my point still stands. I never ever argued that they were better players for getting to the second round. I said that they wouldn't be top 500. But also if you win 2 matches a day. That person getting second place will never catch you. Unless they are dumping an ungodly amount of hours into the game. Also just because you win 2 matches a day doesn't make you the better player either cause you aren't playing enough to show enough data.

Yes a lot of games use this system. And a lot of them have failed or aren't good. Idk much about csgo or Dota but I know for LOL that it takes a ridiculously long time to even unlock ranked. So I would hope that someone would be decent regardless of their underlying elo. And yes there isn't enough players to fill the ranks but that doesn't mean I should be punished for it. To even have a better example. 1 of my games last night. 1st round was gold and plats. 2nd round was gold plats and a diamond team. We knocked the diamond team. 3rd round was gold and plats and another diamond team. Fun fact. We knocked out the diamond team once again. Now the 4th round. They were gold and plats. We made some mistakes, I was on Hotspot cause of internet problems etc. I got DC at the end and we lost 20k-10k but I went down 2 arrows. How does it make sense? Even ur argument of. Do better against them. I knocked out like 3 diamond teams in previous rounds. Does that mean nothing? Cause it feels like it meant nothing. It's more rewarding and understanding if we had the old point system but playing people our skill level.

But you've provided no answer to the smurfing problem. If I smurf I can grief diamonds and make them go ultra down with no punishment to myself. Regardless of "is often a banable offense" and yes a lot of games do suffer from it. But more so because you just straight up lose. I usually do outperform and still go down soo

[jagged cedar]

so we're in bronze 5

Weekly reminder to boost your marketing, get deals with content creators and host a Twitch Rivals. Yes, the game needs some updates, especially in anti-cheat. But come on, the gameplay is so good it should be easy to market. Anyways, what do I know

[pallid gull]

It took me 2 weeks to get from Gold 4 to Plat 1 (8 ranks) and now I'm stuck for nearly another 2 weeks on the same god damn rank Plat 1. I got to Dia 1 last season with the same amount of total time. I don't see the progress I'm making and don't know why I'm not ranking up anymore. It's frustrating and I'm really losing interest in this game..

[meager stump]

TAKE LOW GRAVITY OUT OF THE GAME.

ITS BAD.

IT RUINS THE GAME.

NO ONE LIKES IT.

You're gonna give me an aneurism.

[crystal umbra]

As much as I feel like this comment is unnecessarily rude. I agree. I also don't like low gravity...

Maybe add a "storm" event or something

[quaint forge]

I like low gravity, there are some fun things you can do in the air sometimes lol

[hasty wren]

low gravity sucks

[blissful bridge]

I love low gravity

[limber umbra]

Your stuck in the league your skill puts you in... not tryna just say skill issue but it clearly is

it took me 1 day to get halfway through plat.... this season and plats harder then gold that's forsure

[open night]

I would love to be able to host private matches with less than 6 people

[candid cobalt]

Ok this'll be my last one for tonight since its getting late

For the first point, my previous example still stands, the player placing 2nd place consistently on 4+ games a day would quite easily take over the player winning 2 games a day assuming 345 for 2nd and 690 for a win, they'd overtake them after the initial 4 but this can be extrapolated out into however many games you want as the example, in the original system if the player with consistently WORSE placements simply grinded more than the player with consistently BETTER placements he would be ahead of him in rank and that's my main point of contention, top 500 should be the BEST 500 players, not those who can commit the most time to grinding ranked despite performing ultimately worse than some other players that don't have the same amount of time to commit to the game.

As for the example of the previous game you played, you're in the position of being in the 0.01% of players and even though through no fault of your own, you still lost to a team of golds and plats which id estimate fall around the 20-30% of players, so its understandable that the system sees this and knocks your underlying score down because of the massive difference in percentiles. You're right that you shouldn't be punished for the game having a lower player count however you fall into the top percentile of players, in which there are only a handful of players that could be potentially in a lobby with you that would be considered a "fair" match up, the system may not work perfectly for you but I'd argue its adequate, the people that its working perfectly for are the vast majority that aren't at the very top of the ladder

Personally I don't consider the smurfing to be that big of an issue in the games current state, if you went into the game on a fresh account and started crushing 90% of lobbies then the system would quite quickly place you higher and I can imagine the affected players would recover rather quickly, you could ban them, identify them and put them in a separate queue, a solution isn't something that I'm qualified to comment on but I think this game has more things to worry about than that.

Also appreciate the chat, its been fun

[brazen estuary]

Make every one the same health, thats not the way to be "different".Theres a reason no other fps does that sh#t. I'm tired of losing battles with people where i get 375 damage on some heavy getting healed by his teammate but it takes 150 to kill me. Add shields that you can pick up or something, but one character starting out with double another characters health is quite ridiculous. That, plus the shields that he carries is too much, the shields and weaponry that he carries is plenty enough to justify his low movement speed he doesn't need 350 health too. Great concept just needs to be tweaked a little bit if its ever going to be successful long term

[teal marsh]

I honestly like the recon gadget changes to light and heavy, they imo compliment how the classes play really well. However, I think it’s a problem for medium to have nothing at all for recon (and while we’re at it, heavy having no way to glitch opponents either)
I propose 2 new gadgets/specializations

For medium: a echolocation gadget that will work as their recon option. When activated, it sends a wall piercing signal with a diameter of like 10 m where the player is aiming. Range maybe up to 50m. Once activated again, it returns feedback on players hit provided they didn’t die, the user didn’t die, or they didn’t get themselves glitched (essentially cleansing the effect). Wall hacks last for 10 seconds and the cooldown only starts once activated. Cooldown is 60 sec with any hit, 30 with none
Being hit with the first wave gives the victim something in their screen to know they’re marked, not that annoying ahh DETECTED taking up space on the screen, some icon next to their health or gadgets. then once activated you get the usual. Easily more powerful than the other recon options, but harder to use—unique in its ability to “store” pings

For heavy: a glitching gadget/specialization. Throws a gadget that once placed, glitches 2 targets within persistently. Once out of the field, glitched status only lingers for 2 seconds at most. Can be counter glitched/shot and reacts to physical objects just like other throwables. Same diameter as dome shield, just imagine the same gadget but the field glitches instead. Duration 15-20sec. Cooldown 45-60 seconds
Really strong but has equally funny counterplay, like dropping mines inside to render it inert and passing the field unhindered

Hire me embark💯 (not really but trust me my ideas are excellent)

Still wondering when there will be a game mode where I automatically win every time... COME ON DEVS!!!!!! ⌛
:p

[arctic perch]

I'm going to say this @pseudo bridge , @candid cobalt , and @empty gyro .

I'm completely on desires side. I have room to speak on this subject because myself did rank in the top 700 last season and currently top 1,500. It's very funny looking at this ranking system because there are golds who are arguably stuck in Gold almost of all season although they play as if they are Diamond players. Just by how they aim, how they attack, and how they defend. So there's that argument why you shouldn't lose so much FP just because you got knocked out by some golds who may have been Diamond last season. Another thing is its very disrespectful to display ranks to all players in the lobby, this remotely puts a target on a Diamond stack backs, which just causes unnecessary 3rd parties and being targeted by teams with neutral agreements let's just get rid of the diamond team. It's very unfair and doesn't promote the lobby to just play their game! I have been 3rd party by a stack of Golds and Plats just because my team is all Diamond now that's just ridiculous. Also why don't we have a streamer mode ? Let's say our ranks didn't show well guess what they know my name for sure If they play much as me. I guess let's see if they want to target my team just because the fact. Right? Now don't get me started on the spawns! The spawns are an absolute mess and needs to be reverted, this causes way to much unnecessary scenarios! Now the ranking system is just horrid! It has no logic, no understanding, no consistency, and no clarity. That right there let alone makes the ranking system horrid and not an accurate presentation of the players rank. Therefore anyone who doesn't understand how ranking should work shouldn't even have a valid opinion. I've been playing competitive shooters for a very long time and for most of you since you was in kindergarten so please be more transparent and logical when arguing about how this ranking system is so 'skillful!'

[stoic fox]

I think itd be nice for this game to embrace all of its fun mechanics/destruction/movement and make a playlist that cycles every match with a persistent lobby. infection, oddball, swords only etc. Create the tiktok scrolling of playlists. I love the base game but id have so much fun doing different game modes every match. Just a fun thought!

[empty gyro]

I hope we can continue talking in the morning cause I love the feedback and ideas!

Sorry I thought you meant getting 2nd rounded and not second place so you make a bit more sense! However this is where you are failing to understand. I have roughly 400 hours and been playing since release. Which for your argument let's round down. Release was about 120 days ago but I'll round down to 100. With rounding down I've played about 4ish hours a day and yet I was able to reach spot 846. Meaning I played consistently and was getting a healthy amount of wins. Now it's kinda weird cause losing in S1 was too hefty so its kinda iffy but your telling me that people can't put 5 hours a day? Also people that get second rounded will never catch me in S1 standards. They would have to double my hours to even have a chance. If you think anyone in top 500 got there by only getting second rounds then your delusional. That doesn't mean that I think S1 wasn't a hour grinder cause it was. But not as much as you think.
I am in a high percentile and your right. I shouldn't be losing to golds and plats but you've failed to mention anything about the diamonds that I made sure to knock out in the pervious rounds? I once again ask. Does me knocking them out mean nothing?

And let's just say for a hypothetical that everyone I faced was a smurf. ( wouldn't happen but let's just say) if I'm playing just gold lobbies as a diamond but they are all smurfs I would still go down. Even though I struggled to make it to the final round I would go down because they are "golds" smurfing isn't a big issue as of yet and I hope it doesn't become one. But that doesn't mean the ranked system is perfect. Far from it. Getting to the 4th round should never ever ever be a down arrow. Doesn't matter who you fought against. And again. This season is just an hour grinder and luck grinder as well. It's season 1 with a worse ranking system and a little bit more skill

[pale turret]

Your rank system is broken even after reaching round 3 you lose points 🤦‍♂️

[lofty seal]

The cheating in this game is a joke. I am really starting to get annoyed and will stop playing if there isn’t something done about it. No way you can shoot across the map with a shot gun!!!

[cerulean elbow]

solo bank it for private matches please 😁

[pallid gull]

@limber umbra

I mean sure, you could be right. But if the devs decided to take this path why should I even keep playing when the time I'm putting in isn't rewarded with progress and I'll be stuck all season with the same rank?

We know from last season that you need around 5 tournament wins to rank up. I'm playing around 10 ranked games a week with 2-3 wins but l'm still hard stuck on Plat 1 with no idea of how much better I need to play to get to Dia 4. What's even the point of playing ranked then?

The eastern patch messed up ra nked for me and my friends. It's ridiculous how much we grinded in Season 1 and now nearly completely lost interest because of how demotivating the new ranked system is.

[quick coyote]

Tell that to the devs who favor their lonely computer chair army

To all PC players, Its obvious your still using scripts and no one likes you.

[limber umbra]

Give us more levels and stuff to unlock I can't play another match it's so pointless without a goal to work towards

I don't care about leaderboard spots either they are pointless I hit diamond and quit I believe that's the games biggest issue there is alot of players like me they love the game but once they unlock everything they get so bored and don't play anymore

until challenges/new stuff comes out its painfull and I'd love to see more levels/earnable rewards come to the game

Maybe Crates or boxes you can get stuff from

Or even just some skins that have effort put into them that are very difficult to earn locked behind maybe time spent in the game or even the currency you reroll challenges with/buy gear and abilities it has no use currently really maybe make so you can deposit your coins and once you hit 500k in there you get the rare skin or something🤷‍♂️

exactly... kids are spewing "it's skillful this season" like there weren't the exact scenarios of gameplay last season WITH A PRE NERF NUKE STILL IN GAME and a 6-8 second stun along with pre nerf recon and not a single drop of anticheat... with a tougher Ranked system to even Crack THE T500 You Literally had to master diamond 1 then proceed to climb thousands of ranks which took time and actually getting complete wins not some weird logic of second rounding my way to t500 and these goofies are saying this system is harder??? how exactly... hidden mmr like cod uses... and a quicker t500 based off early win percentage thats also HIDDEN... it's not making much sense but these stains will keep pushing it and justifying it with made up math and plenty of illogical statements. This season is a breeze compared to S1 theres no debate..they made it for these kids exactly so they'd stay attached and in turn fuel that false ego.. I'm a top 10 xbox player top 60 world no false sense of ego i know i shoot like a xim.... see the difference??

DAY 23 OF ASKING FOR A GRAPHICAL PERFORMANCE MODE!

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

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

[swift jetty]

Hi, please ban this guy, thank u

[jagged cedar]

top 500 last season was made up of morons who played every waking second and were entirely meta carried. Ranked was just a glorified hour counter. While ranked is no where near perfect rn it is miles better and actually takes a positive number of braincells to win

[sleek shadow]

Can you guys add a light only mode light because heavy make me want to quit

[foggy orbit]

How they ban him if you don't show his embark ID

[half iris]

Wtf with this light shit, its just lights all the time, sword / dagger, one gave me more damage than I had HP?!?!? he was also invisible, wtf are u doing with this game - its totaly draining the fun for us mediums, what we got? a frag grenade and a nerfed ak

[tribal bloom]

the rank system is actually terrible. like the worst rank system in all of games with rank systems. I cant fathom how terrible this is. ive been stuck on gold 4 for the past 2 weeks, and every rank game i play (recently, with the new update) i get arrows going up, maybe one tim when the arrow went down. but besides from that, arrows up. just got 38-17-17 with 34 revives and 24 objective, full win, and didnt touch a higher rank. maybe id feel better with a progress bar, but probably not. its terrible. worst of the worst. i get there is only 5 ranks, but let me touch a higher gold, please!

[mystic estuary]

People gotta start understanding that the rank they're at might be the rank where they belong. Yes your current rank might not be that rank, but if you're struggling to climb you're close to the rank that matches your skill. Matchmaking on the other hand is far from perfect, but it's difficult to do it properly with the current playercount.

[real moon]

like i get the argument of yeah this new system might show your real rank, but people that are silver and above fights teams full of 3 diamonds and plats

[stuck torrent]

Thats not how rank system work... when people struggling to climb, it is because they're climb uo and fell down, not only climb up but still in same rank...

Also, rank is match making by hiden MMR not Rank system, that's why my friend always found diamond in Gold4 Lobby

Can we just dumpster RPG damage already? All these various nerfs have been stupid as fuck when the most simple one was the best option.

[empty gyro]

Rank is still a glorified hour counter but with no indication of you playing well or not lmao. The problem is I can still do good now. And I'll go down. It's a worse season 1. I want a harder ranked system. Not a stupid one. I have faith they can fix it and do better but until then I'm gonna call it what it is. Garbage

[languid lotus]

i have reported the entire team in question, but come on. this was a ranked game

[inner fern]

game is bugging out rn, anyone klnow a fix? all names just say contestant

[quick coyote]

Turn off aim assist for melee on pc, i missed a ton of stabs with the dagger thanks to it...

[nimble valve]

I hope we don't see more quests like "Win 1 Tournament" and instead some like "Win 10 Tournament rounds"

match ID in bottom right

[odd flax]

the anti cheat is garbage, useless they should do hardware ban

[pulsar jay]

i mean people get around those too

[gaunt perch]

Save OCE ranked somehow, ranked queue times are infinite.

Also buff riot shield hitbox

[upper citrus]

dude said counting to 500 is made up math 😭

[stray basalt]

The Finals tv show!

[muted void]

I will stand by the fact that including an ADS and movement disabler in any game is a horrible decision. #REMOVESTUN

[trail halo]

I think there should be more to the emote wheel, being able to equip four emotes feels super bare and I genuinely cant count the amount of times my emotes didn't save to another contestant. Other than that it's good IMO just give us more options to use in game

[proud sparrow]

It would be really better if we can get the rank up progression that we had in season 1, so we can see EXACTLY how many points we need to rank up. We don't like the current system because it's only arrows so its very unclear.

[tropic finch]

The sniper is destroying this game... maps are too open, and the only way to play counter is another sniper. Not a good design.

[pseudo bridge]

u kids show no signs of Intelligence... every single fps requires grinding to even be considered the top.. yet these goofies on the finals think this easier system is more competitive... it shows you kids haven't been around actual competitive scenes... you have to grind to be the best are you all slow?? there's no other game that requires minimal grinding and you're rewarded as the top.. only mental finals kids enjoy this... take this same argument of the easy system to any other fps you will be severely bullied... you have to grind to be the top it's simple.

revert you still been trying to get my attention this whole time its cute.. nothing you say makes sense lil bro u made up random math that even the finals doesn't have in its game... u got it its giving downs synd💯

[jagged cedar]

I remember when bait was believable

[quasi fiber]

I feel the game needs a balancing of how cash outs work. Right now it seems everyone just goes for a last minute steal because it's the most efficient way to secure the cash out. It's evident in both casual and ranked when some vaults don't even get cashed out when they should.

Implementing a system that rewards players for defending the cash out would do well in removing this issue. Either a system that cashes out a fifth of the cash every quarter and then 2 fifths at the end. Or a system that deposits a certain amount of the cash for every second it's cashing out with a lump sum at the end to still entice quick steals.

This would reward players for taking advantage of both objectives while mitigating teams waiting to third party while watching the leaderboard, all while rewarding the team that holds the cash out the longest for playing the objective. 🤔

[round oyster]

Could add more career levels and a kill cam

[keen path]

embark pls kill haxer xox

[lunar vault]

Let us buy items seperate from bundles
Fix the Matchmaking, one of the worst i've ever seen
Oh and fix the spawns too those are awful

[solar cradle]

why in the world doesn't capping a cashout stop the timer ? probably the worst most anticlimactic decision in a game. you can spawn and say.. hmm.. nahh no point in playing this last 30 seconds. we can't get there in time and nothing will stop this timer. it also makes the fu**ing taser overpowered not having the ability to pause the timer on it

[foggy orbit]

A few fun gadget ideas for light.

• Data Disguiser

• Activate on a carriable to instantly disguise as it.

• Moving causes the disguise to become less effective.

• Attacking or taking damage removes your disguise.

• Your hitbox remains the same.

• Has a 30 second cooldown.

• Energise Grenade

• Throwable grenade explodes on impact, creates a temporary aura that allows you and your team to heal sooner the longer you're inside it.

• Aura lasts for 15 seconds.

• Aura has a 7m radius

• Does not affect enemies.

• Has a 20 second cooldown.

• Repulsion Grenade

• Sticky grenade that exerts a large pulse of non-lethal energy, generating extreme knockback in all directions.

• Affects contestants, throwables, and cashout stations.

• Knockback increases the closer you are to the epicenter.

• Has a 20 second cooldown.

[eager willow]

This game is over run with cheaters, need some sort of trusted lobby system that checks your steam account to get verrified to get into trusted lobbies. Im done with this game until the cheater problem is fixed. its killing it.

[lime lichen]

as long as invis lights are a thing im completelty fine with the game dying

[quick coyote]

ohhh, i didn't know what that was. interesting!

[shrewd dirge]

Day 9,570 of asking the dev team to do something about the cheating in this game (and especially in ranked)

[upper citrus]

ok the bait is too obvious with this one

[tall wave]

^this

[winter kestrel]

What you should of done for the solar eclipse is every 30 mins in the hour you should've made everyone blind for 5 to 10 seconds any maybe a couple of cosmetics as well

[uneven mountain]

it would be nice if there was a mac port

[dawn cape]

report here per CM request:

Please @ CMs next time you do a promo use Twitch Drops, they're universal and work for everyone.
This discord thing is not it, it had a strong backlash and your game will be associated with ads if you keep it up.
it's bad for players since only windows can get it,
it's bad for you since it wont get you new players
it's only good for discord since we have to use it to get the drop while discord users wont download the game simply because they can get a skin. thank you (for twitch players already been using it for a long time for many games)

edit: Discord should pay you not the other way
thanks for the great work on the game I understand trying out new options, but it's not mature enough yet to be more than a one time thing^^

[olive fulcrum]

I am minutes away from not maining this game anymore because it caters to braindead heavy players reigning surpreme.

[random patrol]

please keep rank movement indicator post game 🙏

[severe wave]

fix your ranked system i won 5 games in a row and the fifth game i got 2 arrows down. WHAT can i do more even for winning we lose points now. fix your shitty ass ranked system people who defend this system are brain dead. I think that happened to me several times now before they put the ranked indicator in there. Amazing embark you guys created the worst ranked system ive ever seen

[cosmic pond]

Daily reminder to tell embark to fix their ranked system. Just lost 3 bars for losing in the final round.

When I mean there is no consistency when it comes to how much you gain or lose I mean it. I have lost round 2 as a diamond and gained a bar. Oh, but if you play super well then happen to lose last round ALL 40 minutes or great play is rewarded by losing 3 bars worth of progress.

I have never seen a worse rank system in my life. There's a reason there's only 150 diamond 1 players after the season has been out for ages and it's because the system is way to harsh on higher ranks. If the game doesn't reward you for making it through the rounds and doesn't reward you for good play (high kd / support / obj score) then wtf determines what you gain and lose. At this point it's more worth to throw the game round 3 if you know you can't win round 4 because of embarks twisted idea of a ranked system.

If you want to keep your players then maybe follow how other competitive shooters do their ranked systems. Stop trying to be unique and stick to what works. There's a reason people play their games and this one continues to lose players.

[obtuse ravine]

Allow Us to spectate tournaments if we get knocked out.

If we're knocked on any round, we should be able to spectate the remainder of the tournament.

give us a UI for spectate that has the team names and players, in which we can click on the team name to quick spectate anyone on that team, or click on a player name to spectate that player.

The UI should be something we can hide as well while spectating.

[jagged cedar]

make ranked a 3v3 so worse teams cant just third party cashouts for free wins

[unreal dagger]

For some reason, my game is getting server connection errors only when I try to join a tournament. QP is fine, but I keep getting banned for not being able to connect, and then relaunching, trying to connect, it still stopping me, and then when I try to restart again it just bans me...

Doesn't ps5 have exclusive cosmetics as well? I dont see what the issue is with pc exclusive cosmetics

[uncut rose]

Anyone who is already placed want to do some duo tournament?

[upper citrus]

i would rather do 100 more discord quests than 1 twitch drop I’m gonna be honest.

[worn tree]

anyones battlepass locked but they completed the levels?

[real moon]

ps5 does have exclusive cosmetics through ps plus, and plus this event isn't even pc exclusives its just pointing and laughing at console people who don't have pc friends , assuming i read everything correctly with this response

[versed bridge]

Just get someone to make another discord account and stream the game for 15 mins in a vc
Boom, that's another code

[limber umbra]

Give us more levels and stuff to unlock I can't play another match it's so pointless without a goal to work towards

I don't care about leaderboard spots either they are pointless I hit diamond and quit I believe that's the games biggest issue there is alot of players like me they love the game but once they unlock everything they get so bored and don't play anymore

until challenges/new stuff comes out its painfull and I'd love to see more levels/earnable rewards come to the game

Maybe Crates or boxes you can get stuff from

Or even just some skins that have effort put into them that are very difficult to earn locked behind maybe time spent in the game or even the currency you reroll challenges with/buy gear and abilities it has no use currently really maybe make so you can deposit your coins and once you hit 500k in there you get the rare skin or something🤷‍♂️

[rain drum]

Hi embark, can we please get the same glitch affect on the max tear gloves in the battle pass. they would look amazing.

[void sleet]

There really needs to be a significant penalty for quitting or disconnecting from a match. The amount of recent games I’ve participated in where I’ve either joined empty teams or teammates have quit no matter the score has become quite irritating to the point I’d prefer to not play the game anymore if it continues.

[cosmic plank]

I might get banned for saying this but you are allowed to cheat in the finals. The amount of times I run into completely obvious cheaters wearing 100$+ of skins is insane. Clearly nothing is being done at all.

[swift jetty]

lol twitch drops are the exact same thing. only benefits twitch.

[floral hedge]

can we get decent friggin matchmaking in ranked please? why the hell cant I play against anyone else my rank?

[dawn cape]

except all players whether on console or pc can get it:) even possible using a phone

[violet solstice]

I am soooo over all the hackers in this game, its rampant even in casual modes now. Just played a dozen rounds & reported aimbot hackers in every other match. Its ridiculous. The last round I played there was a guy killing everyone with a pistol from several house rooftops away & he didnt miss a shot no matter how much u ducked & weaved or cloaked.....Embark has got to do something serious about all the hackers. Players are leaving in droves because of it! No wonder it takes so long to find a match now, cos the player base is dwindling exponentially as the Hackers increase. Season 2 sux dogs balls. Too many hackers now.

[west trellis]

okay now that time I had 15 kills, more than anyone on my team, knocked out after round two, my team who is the same rank as me gets up arrows and I still get a down arrow! But whyyy

[odd flax]

DEV IS DONT CARE ABOUT CHEATER. NO BAN WAVE, NO BETTER ANTI CHEAT, NO REGION LOCK CHINA!

[quick coyote]

I completely agree with you and it should be earned bro, if it's hard to reach D2+ then so be it. Only the best players should get the highest end reward and I am struggling my ass off just keeping D2 and I wouldn't want the climb to be any easier because you learn nothing from it and it's not as good of a flex.

I struggled to get to D3 last season because I had 0 time to sit and actually grind the end-rank not because it was difficult, but because I'd rather watch paint dry from how slow it moved and knowing it's hour based. I just got D2 (top 500) the other night just from playing and not having to dump all of my time for higher ranks hours game I love and now I can focus more on school and other activities. The amount it took me from Gold-Diamond was much quicker than Last season's Plat-Diamond grind. I love the change.

[blissful bridge]

[past moat]

Can someone explain to me how I can receive 3 downward arrows in ranked after getting to the Finals and losing while having a 2.5 KD for the entire tournament.

This is completely ruining my experience while grinding through Diamond ranks.

[empty gyro]

This might be the most npc response I've ever seen. Respectfully. I averaged around 4 hours a day and was able to crack top 1000 which fun fact was all diamond 1. If you can't play 4 hours a day then idk what to tell you. It's not even that much time. (Also that's me rounding to give you best possible numbers. Pretty sure it's more like 3.7 hours) if you "struggled" to get D3 because you had no time. Then I'm sorry to tell you but it wasn't the time holding you back. That's not to say it wasn't an hour counter cause it was but like. If you enjoyed the game why not put the hours in?

[cosmic echo]

https://youtu.be/4XuxZEdFE_Q Your Game Is Making GravityDrop Do This

[somber snow]

With all the feedback about the rank system I think a big portion of this is we feel we're being punished by losing rank/fame despite playing well or reaching certain expectations (reaching round 2/4, 3/4, etc). Essentially, we're playing a game with hidden expectations of us and it's frustrating. Rank/Fame should be rewarded based on known expectations or just general good performance.

Example:
Make it to round 2/4, but you had under 1.0 KDR, low combat score, few or no assists, low support score, low objective score for both rounds then you should lose fame. But if you had something like 3:6:5 with high support or objective score then you should gain fame.

I don't know what the specific implementation could be, but whatever it is should be transparent so the players can perform as expected. Imagine a yearly performance review where you killed it in sales and your team loved you, but you didn't get a raise because you left dirty coffee mugs in the office kitchen.

[vague shadow]

Buff knife please 🙏

[dusk anvil]

Please I beg I plead add text chat. I guess my mic doesnt work, I found a 4 stack that I'm having fun playing with, but I got kicked from the party cause of a glitch and I have no way to tell them what happened

[slender oasis]

It's mostly about teams and composition, not entirely the time. That takes certain skills that not everyone has. Not that you can't acquire them just takes patience. Meta affects it too as top players lov to use only "the best" (gimme an example of a top 1000 that runs stuff like dagger and other less popular weapons and gadgets, consistantly). Anyone can reach there tho natural affinities and pre built skills truly determine how much effort and time that takes.
Why I like the weapon play and dislike the K/D boasters needing "OP" weapons like the M11 atm to fuel their kill frenzies, and also why I appreciate some of the heaftier gun nerfs. looking forward to more gadget plays that are crazy and fun.

[shut gyro]

Guys does anyone understand how arrows goes up and down? We play as a stack and we get different arrows, Sometimes i lose second round i get 1 arrow up and sometimes i lose a semifinal and i get 2 arrows down, i don’t get how ranking up works now, is it damage or k/d or anything else

[quick coyote]

The reason why I don't have 4 hours a day is probably because I'm an adult in college going into STEM lol. I'd rather spend those 4 extra hours studying or learning something valuable within my profession rather than wasting my time on a ranked mode that is literally Hour-based and had no fear/penalty of losing actual elo lmfao. (btw, I got Diamond 2 at the end of Season 1).

I hope you go back on this post when you're working your pizza delivery job, and I hope you're proud of yourself for reaching a 4 digit position (lmfao can't reach below top 1k with 4h a day) and not even anywhere close to the leaderboard position for both seasons in a row you scrub. At-least I can say I saw my name on the leaderboard so please pipe down and respect my opinion you absolute low-rank and yeah the time was certainly holding me back. 🚬
Keep ranked like actual ranked.

I wish I could play this game all day long just like you, maybe I'd actually be top 10 for a change.

[timid kiln]

game feels as in how many players are in the matches and stuff not being able to play whenever i want because i know at that time the servers are gonna be empty its crazy honestly best live service fps shooter game iv played in the last 10 ysr id hate to see it die please do something add features and push allat the marketing on the game dont stop investing this game has the potential to revolutionate the industry

[scenic oar]

From what they've said I believe its a combination of solo (kills/damage) and team performance combined with how far you make it.

[static ivy]

Please fix the dang heavy barriers placing issues. literally 40% of the time they don't place properly, especially in emergency situations when you're wiping around to place them down. This has been the only consistent annoyance from closed betas thats never really been fixed. Please Embark... i love you guys. fix this!

[empty gyro]

Your a sad sad little man. My profile tracks my hours played plus days games been out. Idk if you know this but if you do basic math you'll be able to get your average. Instead of going to college I think you need to go back to high school. Also your replying to me on a discord post instead of "learning something valuable within my profession" lmfao but apparently you have time for this. Just sad. Congrats you got diamond 2. You were almost to diamond 1. Why even comment on a feedback channel if you don't play the game enough? Like honestly it makes no sense. Why should they listen to your feedback when your a casual Andy with no playtime. Also I won't say what my job is but I also don't let my job or profession define who I am lmfao. Also don't be upset cause I can put in minimal time and am still better than you'll ever be. I have seen my name on the leaderboard and honestly. I don't care to keep it there. I would respect your opinion but you have no playtime or braincells.

If you can't play 4 hours a day then thats just sad. Or you take too long with your studies cause you don't understand the topic? Either way not my problem. Also. Every ranked mode is hour based. Every single one. Just most games also require you to be skilled while putting in the hours.

[hasty cliff]

okay i don’t know what the fuck is going on here but drop the argument it’s pointless and not game feedback anyway, not playing 4 hours a day isn’t sad by any means it just means you actually have shit to do. stop trying to annoy eachother

[vocal rampart]

Every tournament has a cheater (if not multiple). You're "block" feature does nothing to help as I get queued up again with reported & blocked users.

[shut gyro]

What is considered in solo performance

[odd flax]

CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER AGAIN REGION LOCK CHINA PLEASE!!! THEY LIKE A PLAGUE, CHEATING IN EVERYGAME NO MORE FAIR PLAY NO MORE FUN GAME. EASY ANTI CHEAT IS GARBAGE

[eager willow]

They will kill this game, and they don’t care to do anything to stop them lol

[quick coyote]

Do you scrim?

[next kraken]

evry ranked game as gold im put in diamond lobies wtf

[solar cradle]

Heavily extend the rocket launcher reset and make it carry over between lives. do this for a few other things too that are fucking broken overpowered. To that point the heal beam should be overheating on any use not just healing use (after fixing the broken heals during entire matches garbage game breaking bug)

[ashen anvil]

BRING BACK POINT SYSTEM FOR RANKED FFS, up to 7 times failed to rank up because I got bad teammates. I love and I spend money in this game. In Asia server ranked queue waiting time is around 5-20 minutes. I hate spend my time for waiting and failed over and over to rank up bcs this fked up ranked system

[torpid sky]

PLEASSSSSSSSSE BAN THIS MF

[empty gyro]

Your absolutely right. It's not feedback and kinda just dumb. But I also wanna clarify idc if you put 4 hours into video games. I mainly meant if you didn't have 4 hours a day to do whatever you enjoyed doing. (Whatever that may be) then that would be sad. I couldn't imagine my life without minimum 4 hours a day to enjoy myself.

@tyler.mp4#0000 if you wanna ask me anything else just hit my dms and I'll answer any question you have. Other than that I'm done answering in here about this topic!

[steel stone]

I dont have any kind of solution, but please just remove invis, since the removal of recon, invis has taken off in use and it's extremely toxic to the game, mediums have NO way of detecting them now that they dont have recon gernade, vanish bomb is cool, but the invis specialization is terrible for the game @quick coyote I'm not waiting 20+ minutes to reply to this, but I agree that the stun gun being poorly designed, and I do like the vanish bomb as it gives the light class a way to support their team outside of throwables, but unless cloak gets a serious redesign now that recon is no longer a way to counter being invis, then it should be removed. it can have a longer cooldown or if you get shot out of it you lose the rest, something that makes sense other than "lights need to be the stronk class" which they still arent, and I hate to say that as I play medium and light, but I cant stand the massive crutch some items bring to the game

[quick coyote]

@steel stone Cloak is fine. As i stated below this message, stun gun is giving cloak a really bad reputation. Stun is mostly a terribly designed tool that I personally think should not exist. A tool to deny steals for light is great though, but one for cheap kills that also just makes the game unplayable for some players is not.

[violet lily]

The thing that I hate about this game is that when the game crashed, we got suspended. The system should be able to determine what are the caused of user crash, because I got a log of crash from Unreal Engine.

[faint atlas]

I wish I could see how many times I've attempted the tournament without winning one. It feels like 50 games

fix the fucking cheaterssssss embark

yall really gotta release more than one gun for each class with every season.

[timid kiln]

sniper rework idea:
-no more hit scan (projectile with phisics)

• dmg drop off
  -dmg on body 170 on hs 320

[abstract plaza]

Add a team deathmatch or Freefor all for medium and light classes separate first to 30 kills

[quick coyote]

The new ranked system needs to be reworked. Indicator said I was about to rank up, so I won 9 rounds (lost 3) only for the rank indicator to drop drastically, and now I'm about to derank. Why am I being punished for playing well? The old system at least guaranteed you elo if you qualify

[rough vessel]

that would make it the best weapon in the game easily

[cerulean elbow]

i beg of you add solo bank it to private matches

[warped rivet]

please make the ranked tournament one less round/need half the amount of players. these queue times are too insane

[fossil osprey]

I’ve been trying to win a tournament for weeks. Still no luck. really wish they’d make this “challenge” a little more accessible

[lapis pollen]

We dagger main not ask for much. Please give us an explain why you changed dagger since launch without announce. This is unfair. Also, why famas and ks-23 got buff sooner than dagger? It make no sense!

[timid kiln]

maybe not that much of a dmg increase but still hitscan has to go and the ttk with the sniper needs a buff if it is in fire rate thats good too

[versed cloud]

Can we possibly get an update to where when we block players we don't get queued up with them? I am legit sick of playing with double light premade groups (When they're on my team)

[rough vessel]

double light is ass anyways

[wraith topaz]

skill issue, i shit on double lights anyday

2 ranked games in the morning and 3 cheaters, LOL GG EMBARK

No cloak, no stun, but Buff Health and start of regeneration.

For the love of god please fix ranked. Gold going against diamonds and losing points even after making it through the first round. Just makes zero sense and straight up deters me from playing at all.

**The Medium GL **gun thing can use a Quality of life changes

Note: right now its really only viable to play on the flank as the bullet don't goes throws allies, most likely to give you self damage and stop/reset the health regeneration timer, leaving you out of combat for a long time.
(yes playing with team is viable but only with a heal med on your side)

Suggestion:
. either make the bullet gose throw allies
. OR! make the gun do no selfdamage
(i like the frist one more but more choice to you i guess)

Duhh everyone does that's the problem

[quick coyote]

clowning on someone for not being a degen is wild LOL

the game overall is in a decent place, ranked really needs a ton of attention. and actually banning cheaters

[broken musk]

1. MELEE LUNGE RUINS MELEE 2) STUN GUN IS OP

[rough vessel]

wdym melee lunge ruins melee

[thick sorrel]

I would block double cheaters instead, but generally please no queue with blocked players.

@warped rivet, they really need to cut ranked tournament in half. Each stage splits the playerbase and many quit aleady ranked because of cheaters and the unrewarding rank pointsystem!

[stuck ocean]

Ps5 user :
1 - audio s really weird, sometimes the audio is like i have cotton in my ears or underwater, gunshots so low but everything else really loud ( explosion, building crashing)
2 - visual pollution, too many infos and too big on screen, dead teammates, cashouts, vaults, event name, etc... need to focus aim for most of them to " disappear "
3 - bad choice of colors for team, Light red, Light orange, Light pink, Light purple... plz can t you use blue red green yellow so you can easily know if you have only 1 team or 2 pushing you.
4 - relevent survey instead of those same stupid questions, let us share our real feedback instead of those predetermined shits
5 - somethings against cheatters maybe...
6 - comestics and stuff are really nice but most way too much expensive, i know you need to feed greedy nexon ( old player of HiT on mobile so i know their way ) but a bit cheapper and you would sell a ton more.
7 - fix the issues from feedbacks and bug reports

My feedback https://youtu.be/vty0Uj-zPqU?si=YvKA4r2FWtnwIJQK

[violet solstice]

Without cloaking they may as well just remove light class. Light are so weak & Mediums & Heavys need only breathe on them to kill a light that without Cloak the Light class would be unplayable. You can already see a cloaked light, hear a cloaked light & need only hit em once to un cloak em or do the slightest amount of damage to them to uncloak them...how much weaker do u need a light to be ffs....Stop whining about lights cloak & just get better...I die so much as a light to Med & Heavy cloaked or not cloaked its ridiculous. What are u going to do if they take away or nerf lights cloak??? Start whining about heavy's being too tough for ur medium build??? So sick of hearing these Mediums whining about light cloak as if we aren't already too easy to kill you just wanna make it even easier for you...& just incase u didnt notice lights also have to deal with other lights that use cloak as well...what they should do is take away the turrets & APS from Mediums to even the playing field for all since u need no skill to use em & they do the work for u.

[mystic briar]

APS does need a heavy rework as well as items you can pick up and throw down for free since it gives them all their hp back, but the rest of this seems like heavy cope. I want light to have it's day of retribution, but not like with when my team gets spawn camped on power shift by two cloak lights with stun guns. you dont need cloak to be good and since it sounds like you still die a good bit while cloaked you should reconsider how you approach fights. I play plenty of grapple light and heal beam medium and I'm doing just fine against most others.

[fluid shard]

light isnt all about not being seen, the more important part is the evasive ability. Therefore, grappling hook or the dashes are a much better choice. Invis isnt that good in my opinion

[dark laurel]

Lmaooooo how the anti cheat can tolerate ATLEAST more than 20k damage in on game this is insane

[nova lake]

Please add more setting for controller like inner deadzone and outer deadzone. Cause your game feels very stiff and not fluid.

[silver forge]

There’s already a penalty for leaving tournaments. There shouldn’t be a penalty for people leaving quickplay matches because it’s quickplay.

[broken crown]

The game got Hella boring playing the same game mode over and over because the only other modes are trash, amazing game it just needs more game modes

[rough vessel]

as a light main they should remove cloak or rework it

[lucid igloo]

Please add AMD FSR3, AMD users are being left out in favor of Nvidia users…

[fiery obsidian]

NEWER ANTI CHEAT PLEASE, ASIA SERVER IS UNPLAYABLE RUINED BY CHEATER EVERYMATCH EVERY MODE. THIS IS UNFAIR, WE SPEND LOTS OF MONEY FOR COSMETICS, WE WANT PLAYING THIS GAME WITH REAL COMPETITION, PLAYING WITH FRIEND, NOT JUST FEED THE CHEATER EGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the game Will be dead soon, cya

[midnight badge]

fr... ASIAN SERVERS ARE PRACTICALLY UNPLAYABLE WITH THE AMOUNT OF CHEATERS...it cant be stressed enough.

[tawny hill]

If they did that light would need more hp or become unplayable

[astral vale]

No, I don't think it's necessary at all, I suggest deleting the Asian server, I believe in the game so much, but at this moment, with less than 10,000 active users, are the authorities really doing the right thing?

[stable lagoon]

Light can function just fine without cloak, but people who beg it to be removed are simply coping at their inability to listen to their static noise or notice the cloak effect

[soft mauve]

This change to matchmaking is the absolute worst thing you could make.

Just make CROSSPLAY on by default but just between consoles, and then another option to also party up with pc, and if really needed a crossplay off option.

This game is already sweaty enough and it’s losing a lot of players because of it, and what is your solution? Make console players play against people on mouse and keyboard and the whole horde of cheaters? Absolute nonsense.

After having clocked 400 hours in season 1 my entire group has practically stopped playing because of how things are going (ranked nonsense, matchmaking and balance issues)

[gaunt tiger]

If you stand still you are 100% invisible and make no sound

[wary storm]

the issue was in places like asia there are not enough console players to get a ranked game. people going since mid season 1 with no ranked matches found, because the crossplay option only put you in against other consoles UNLESS you had a pc player in your lobby which then brought you into crossplay with PC. yeah maybe they could add an extra option such as crossplay on ALL, crossplay on CONSOLE and crossplay off. then an option for mouse and keyboard support which would make also default you to pc crossplay

[daring ravine]

Full keyboard and mouse support should come to consoles with new matchmaking changes. Allow us to even the field with multi input for console

[random scarab]

is that a skill issue? dash on top non stop nerd

[merry creek]

Devs just killed the game... console players don't want to play with PC!! You screwed us with the aim assist nerf in season 1.... not banned a single cheater from season 1, as they still routinely seen in ranked and clearly visible on leaderboard.... and now you're throwing us in with mnk plus the tons of cheaters PC players have been raging against

[junior mural]

So, we definitely need something against the recoil scripts, it's getting out of proportion

[vagrant juniper]

the rank system is so frustating, we need a bar to tell how we progress not a stupid vague arrow.

[acoustic harbor]

chinese investors Aware

[steel marlin]

also oceania still cant find matches in ranked (in my experience). they genuinely need to get rid of the tournament challenge still as well because this is genuinely impossible in some regions and this change is obviously a very controversial one (and doesnt even work)

[sacred leaf]

the amount of cheaters in plat and diamond is absurd

[pastel mantle]

BRING BACK FAME POINTS PLEASE 🙏

[mild pond]

<@&1012034066876473384> tagging CMs to draw attention bc this is such a simple change, but can we please get an increase to max sensitivity for controller already? the look boost settings are a nice addition but they only kick in when your right stick is at 99% input, so sometimes this throws you off. we should be able to reach these speeds- and higher, with the base sensitivity alone. 2 seasons of asking for this now, let’s make it happen already 🎮

[radiant imp]

The CMs won't be able to help with that, you've already done the right thing by putting it in here.

[willow wave]

Can you guys please try a new policy towards cheaters, because the current one, whatever it is, isn't working? blatant aimbots I've seen since S1 still playing the game sadly

[chrome talon]

Yeah this ranking system is a little unintuitive

[misty loom]

It is weird that if you lose in the first round you go one arrow down but losing the final you go 3 arrows down

[bold lantern]

Bunch of UI suggestions:

• Ability to disable (most) UI effects.
  The glitch grenade effect on your ammo and health is fine, but there is little reason for it to also scramble the current team scores.
  And more importantly; It keeps doing this even while spectating..
• Ability to tweak opacity of individual UI elements, especially objective markers.
  It happens rather often that an enemy, teammate or other object is hidden behind markers. Which don't fade out until you ADS.
• Ability to make the crosshair fully centered (static).
  Currently all crosshairs shift around slightly.
  - Ability to show the crosshair while ADS'ing.
  There is quite a lot of purely visual recoil in this game, your bullets don't always go where the (iron)sights are actually pointed at.
  This is the primary reason why people are using third party / ODS crosshairs.
• Further crosshair customization in general.
  Just a dot, circle, whatever, but more customization would be lovely

UX suggestion:

• Ability to immediately press J to mess around with loadouts after dying
  It's rather annoying that you're locked out of this menu until the game stops "following" the person that killed you
• Improve "use" priority/hitbox when there are multiple options close to each other
  It happens rather often that your character decides to pick up barricades or a turret, or tries to open a door while your crosshair is aiming straight at a teammates statue or the objective
• The ability to "tap out" of being revived.
  A lot of revive mediums go on an almost suicidal mission to try and revive teammates, getting themselves teamwiped. I'd much rather just tap out so I can wait out the last few seconds before respawning.

[young drum]

You know. Waiting to update every Wednesday isn’t a good thing. I appreciate the consistency BUT some things need hotfixes. After your last update diamond rank has only been sustainable by winning literally every game, you can now get to the finals and lose so much points. Not to mention going against cheaters consistently. Not only am I losing points in the final rounds but to be losing because of cheaters is insane.
Valorant has a pretty good anti cheat. Can yall copy and paste?
Can yall ask for the formula?
The hotfix should’ve been for ranked. It’s actually broken now added arrows and made the system worse.

I’m one who usually ignores a lot of bs but the consistency of the bs has made so many people leave. I don’t want to be one of them but ffffff

[magic sonnet]

I think ranked crossplay should only be allowed for controller players when using motion controls

[hard badger]

I mean you can just keep crossplay off, then there is no difference between be4...

[rough drum]

This matchmaking change will kill the game on console. Just keep it like it is now and add another option to also search for pc lobbies if it can’t find a console one.

[merry creek]

Pretty big difference bud.... queue times between just xbox players and xbox+PlayStation is huge.... its fine for casual game modes but impossible for ranked

@real moon you could of done that prior to this change, all you needed to do was join a PC players party... yeah aim assist was OP but they decimated the console player base when they changed it (many never returned) and they have been tweaking it closer and closer to what it was originally so all in all they fumbled that pretty hard

[real moon]

i'm console and i wanna play with pc plus the aim assist nerf was required in season 1, that shit was way too op

[supple aspen]

Day 5 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.

[quick coyote]

If they can manage to detect that specific input method for consoles while disabling aim assist for it that'd be cool. But there's always gonna be a way to exploit the controller on PC/ MnK on console thing if it's present

[wary storm]

same, id rather play against pc on my closest server than having to choose one like 7000miles away from me with all that lag. this is a process, they can make more changes and they will but at least this has unlocked ranked for lots of people

[daring ravine]

Aim assist is not a console only thing. Other games have multiple inputs on console , COD being one of them. When you use keyboard and mouse there is no aim assist it's native support as if you were playing on PC. Very misinformed

[keen path]

THANK YOU FOR THESE MM CHANGES EMBARK

[wanton bloom]

Damn, I remember you from Shatterline. It's nice to see you here

[drowsy vector]

Hope queue times won’t get too high when cross play is turned off on PS5. Ain’t no way I’m playing against PC anymore, unexplainable (unless cheating) things alway happen when in those lobbies

[soft mauve]

They really didn't think it through with this matchmaking change, they're only going to lose more players.

[ebon elbow]

Now that this new update is out I think that we should be able to use mnk while playing with crossplay on

[lament prism]

Guys, I been having problems to equip the reload animation for the AKM that was introduce in the season 1 battle pass. Everytime i equip the animation never works, what can I do?

[sly estuary]

Oh, nice to see you to. Yea i loved shatterline its shame that game failed

[proven ibex]

It's a bug. Only workaround is ... Delete and create contestant , don't do any changes in style or emotes, keep it default. Now go to equipment N to akm. In animation select it and hit equip to all. Later you can do same with skins n charms.. select them n hit equip to all. After that you can change style of the contestant

[lilac coral]

Yeah bro I never could get any reload animation to work lol

[quick coyote]

I didn't mean to imply AA is a console only thing. Ik it's not a console only thing. I'm saying that if there was a effective way for them to mitigate the exploits on both ends while having that feature it could be possible. But ig the devs can't block the exploits so they just removed MnK on console completely .

I'm not sure what kind of exploits were active on console last season but it must've been pretty bad for them to remove the MnK on console completely. Like you said, COD and other shooters clearly have this capability so why can't The Finals do the same? Guess we'll never know. Maybe they're looking for solutions, idk

sidenote, 30 min cooldown timer is crazy 😭

[keen heath]

Can we please punish leaver and only let them reconnect to the game they left and after 1 min if they don't reconnect they get a penalty and have to wait longer to join a new game

[dire solstice]

game mode choice is bad embark, RIP

[woven briar]

So since we’re trying to force cross play on, how about letting people use mouse and keyboard to compete against PC lobbies? Doesn’t exactly make sense to put me into a pc lobby if I can’t compete on controller.

[crimson crag]

What is this bug that keeps stopping me from being able to shoot!?

[vague sail]

the game doesn't save my setting 😭 . I can only play at internet cafes so everytime i log in i have to change them to my liking

[mystic briar]

[thick sorrel]

It's called Inputbased matchmaking. So PC Players with controller could play against console and vice versa. I doubt there are many console players with kbm.

[clear crystal]

can you whitelist UEVR so we can use it to play the finals in VR? https://uevr.io/

[deft moth]

how the hell would that look like i wonder...

[rare rock]

why are the aim assist values different on pc?/genq

[pearl urchin]

I would still like kill cams after I die. sometimes I can’t see how I was killed or how a person saw where I am. It would also help to spot cheaters more easily

[pearl mica]

Increase cash rewards for kills when you are defending an active cashout. Give us something for working to hold the cashout the entire time not just 3rd party and steal last minute.

[kindred vortex]

how does the game manage to use all of the cpu and gpu on the main menu and still be at 80fps?
1650, i5-11320H with 16 gigs of ram with lowest settings + balanced fsr

[vagrant juniper]

the game doesnt tell me whether im doing good or horrible, and sometimes the arrows reset itself back to 0 which makes me more confused

[hollow badger]

BAN WAVE WHEN? NEWER ANTI CHEAT? REGION LOCK CHINA PLEASE!!!!!

[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

[rare rock]

alright, so, i've got a problem

whenever i've tried to play with a friend, in general, normal voice chat doesn't work, is this a known issue? how can i fix it? im having to resort to discord if it helps, the little icon that shows when your voice is on, has a little x instead of a full speaker, no matter what i do, i cant change it

ive tried everything, and this is genuinely affecting my games, because i need to communicate with my teammates

[frigid iris]

can you please add text chat 😦 in my region many people pefer to type insted of talk bcoz english is not there 1st lang

[pearl urchin]

I actually think this is a really good idea. there’s no benefit to open a vault and put it in the cash box when it’s so much more difficult to hold it for an extended period of time.

Maybe you could get a small amount of passive income while you control a cashout, that way there’s still a benefit.

[pearl mica]

You get 1k for opening and 2k for putting it in but then nothing for holding it for 2 minutes until payout.

Feels like it just promotes leaving your cashout to 3rd party another. No incentive to stay on yours after putting the box in.

[hybrid sluice]

Hey can you please region lock ranked matches? I'm not gonna be one of those people who complain about hackers that are just gonna use VPNs anyway - but it is IMPOSSIBLE to find ranked matches in OCE, even after the new patch. There are enough people in OCE who play ranked, but everyone just got accustomed to switching servers and not a lot of people keep up to date with the server announcments and won't come back. Currently writing this from a 10 minute queue (that's not gonna put us in a game) and I'm Gold 1 (on account of getting matched with diamonds whilst on 150+ ping).

At least give us an ETA or 'players currently waiting' so that people will stick around. Not a lot of people are willing to wait over 2 minutes to find a match, especially if they're not getting any visual feedback.

[near marsh]

With the new progress in ranked added after every match, it seems to tell things we already know ( for example you go up 3 when you place high in tournament), but I think what most want is for it to tell you how close you are to next rank

[slim sun]

Day 14 of asking to put map rotation on a timer for casual. Really sick of getting Horizon and or Vegas 90% of the time.

is there any kind of hope we get rid of cheaters?

[civic orchid]

my compliments to whoever designed the flamethrower, a weapon that by holding down a button kills in less than a second because it does both weapon and fire damage, a monkey must have thought of it just to ruin the gaming experience, not to mention like that flame passes through objects, well done to the programmer who when he thought of it said this is the weapon for me you don't have to know how to shoot you just need to hold down a button to kill everyone immediately

[severe wave]

Wtf why do we have to play against pc now when we turn crossplay on.... Embark what are you doing. Pc players have such an insane advantage and not only that the cheater problem on pc is big aswell. Keep going embark your destroying the game @upper citrus BECAUSE i want to play against xbox people to find matches faster you damn moron. Your are such an low iq idiot.In rainbow six you can only play against other console people. I dont want to play against damn cheaters and pc people in general. I used to play valorant ik what an advantage mouse and keyboard is. Your so dumb its hurting my brain. We turn crossplay on because the game is fk dead on console. Now they gonna match us with cheaters and people who have an fk advantage nice. Ask embark for a dev position. They need more stupid people like you. Pls never reproduce you dont have any common sense. I dont think you can read.... I turn crossplay on so i can find matches between xbox and ps5. Embark changes everything to the worse. Those damn idiots nobody on console wants to play against pc players. @wary storm Nah this community is filled with actual idiots. The way they defend embark every time for every stupid decision. No wonder this game has no players. you guys think this game will get tons of more people playing haha yh in your dreams. This game has the worst ranked system and now crossplay is trash aswell. Nobody wants that when other games have proper ranked system and proper crossplay. Games like rainbow six siege have so much players because they actually had a really good ranked system for along time. Ranked 1.0 build an insanely loyal and big playerbase. Finals is not gonna archieve that because there keep going stupid decisions. You people who defend it are even worse. @sinful gazelle I hope so. Those people cant understand anything its crazy. Its simple logic but there too stupid to get it wow. I really hope that you can find xbox players with crossplay turned off

[vale acorn]

Give the sniper rifle a charge up time to bypass a falloff damage nerf for snap shots

[upper citrus]

“why do i play crossplay when crossplay is on WTF”

@severe wave maybe turn crossplay off if you don’t want crossplay

“waaaa”

all i hear is your inability to find the crossplay off button

[drowsy cargo]

is crossplay required for XB/PSX?

[drowsy vector]

My compliments to those who don’t figure out keeping distance from a flamethrower is all you need to do. Props for learning how to navigate the game with a single brain cell 🙌

[wary storm]

wow you are just toxic af

[severe linden]

Hopefully this dead update brings more people to crossplay-off lobbies 🤷

[slim sun]

MORE THAN A WEEK THAT I HAVE ISSUES WITH HEALING BEAM NOT WORKING

[proven ibex]

"Crossplay On", read it slowly. Wtf even is this question ❓ crossplay on means cross platform is on.. everyone comes under the hood. Disable it if you can't play with other platforms. I realised Half of the population here don't even know what crossplay means but shitting on the game blindly.

[echo panther]

Buff Dagger (Day 5)

[lament marsh]

I can want crossplay on to match between PS and Xbox for quicker queue times without wanting to match against MnK.

If they’re adamant on this happening, they need to at least support MnK input on consoles.

[quick coyote]

Make it possible in practice mode: 1vs1 max 3vs3. A cash vault on the top of the house and cashout inside the yellow container😍

[sinful gazelle]

I’m pretty sure that even cross-play off or on. Console should already be matching with other console aka Xbox and PS. If not then the finals is throwing.

[marsh elm]

Can’t find a ranked game crossplay off in eu (playstation) after crossplay update

[winter knoll]

Cloak is bs. you cant convince me for a second its balanced. i dont care how low its picked in ranked (its picked a lot it top 100) this shit and stungun is pure cheese and unfun to fight

[odd ibex]

💀I tried playing power shift the game is full of snipers,jumping medium grenade launcher and flamethrower heavy it’s an awful experience.

In quick cash it’s Lewis and f scar that still beams every player all the time and m11 needs hipfire and recoil nerf.

The cloak has got a visual buff cause I really can’t see it and in Reddit everyone agrees,remember cloak was made when it took 2 mags to get a player now cloak and smg milliseconds melt players out of no where!

Listen! U can’t have season1 weapons with season 2 balance it doesn’t work,it’s a mess and u r losing player look at the numbers,those dumb new weapons won’t fix ur game with that ks23 being an inferior revolver and famas being mediocre as shit.
Stop trying to make this game having such a fast time to kill competitive esport call of duty knock off that u can’t make use of the environment like it was so fun post launch now the fun stuff got nerfed out of the game.

Also I think my dash has an input delay and I can’t tell if it’s normal.

[thin grail]

I officially declare ranked dead (I'm platinum 2)
Got to the final round and was up against 2 aimbotters sitting in the middle of the map beaming all of us across
Lost in that, joined a new tournament and was greeted with this
it's crazy that cheaters can get gold 1 from placement rounds and go harrassing platinums immediately after
Got spawn-locked in the middle of the game because we spawned on hospital, the bridge was broken and the cheater was on the other roof. Literally no way to get out. Had to teamwipe and spawned there like 3 more times

[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.

[plush grotto]

Ran about 8 ranked matches yesterday, we had three back to back aimbot lobbies. On one of them, a streamer was in the lobby so we went to his stream to let him know and we griefed the f out of the hacker team to knock them out 🤣

[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

[swift laurel]

people getting disconnected mid tournament is absolutely game breaking and needs to be solved next update, the amount of times ive had teammates disconnect in game 3 is insane

[wheat gull]

Getting a cheater literally every ranked match. I'm also getting silvers and bronze on my team, I thought it was more rankd based. Also got to change the health pools. Heavys should NOT have double the lights health. Please just do something similar to this > LIGHT - 200HP, MEDIUM - 250HP, HEAVY 300HP.That 50 HP difference will change a lot

[upper citrus]

the health pools are fine this would literally destroy the balance of the game

[keen quiver]

Can't Embark add Console only crossplay Console only meets console.(Xbox and PS) no PC, please? Sounds good idea imho EDIT - Theres alot more Console The Finals players Xbox & PS combined than PC

[real moon]

the only valid reason to not want crossplay with pc is hackers otherwise i don't see any problem with it, just means shorter Queue times

[small swallow]

https://imgur.com/a/RBkpJ0s
great skill based match making btw (soloQ)

[sweet seal]

please reconsider a way to either recompensate teams of 2 in ranked or at the very least make them not lose points for losing cause some shit eater on your team decided he was too good to die to a hacker in the first second of the first round

[odd ibex]

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

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

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

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

[smoky hearth]

more mastery camos like a system similar to callof duty, like kill or headshot camos as opposed to just xp ones

[pale crane]

Light : More Hp, More Ammo, no sound when invisible .

[whole ocean]

Once the match concludes with the on-screen popup "Winners" or "Eliminated," an enemy who kills you at that point shouldn't count on the scoreboard stats, nor if you kill someone else. An enemy begins shooting at me as it says "winners," and I end up with a death added to my stats because of them somehow killing me as it transitioned to the match Summary screen.

[hearty sonnet]

Please allow players on ps5 to use a mouse on the finals.

Truly? do you also want a coffee with a croissant?

[brazen osprey]

If cross play will now include PC and console. On Xbox can we at least get a different symbol for when you match with PC / Console? Other platforms only ever show as a globe symbol.

[tulip kite]

Are you guys still@having issues finding a tourney ?

[idle thunder]

Provide an option to choose between proximity mines and pressure which are the ones currently in game. This would be an option for all mine types, decreasing damaging for the proximity type but wider area of effect to proc them.

[wary storm]

depends on the region, some regions have low console numbers, remember this isnt available on ps4 etc

[wind hemlock]

Bro are you high? That might be the dumbest suggestion I've ever read

[plush shell]

in round 3 of a ranked tournament, I got stuck on the loading screen and my friends started the game. so I closed the game and reopened it, but it got stuck on the connecting screen this time, I restarted the game again, but the reconnect button didn't appear and I got a 9 minute penalty. what nonsense is this?
If there is such a problem in the game, then at least make the return time 10 minutes or something. it's the most ridiculous thing in the world and annoying.

[odd ibex]

I get medium grenade launcher peeking and spamming and use poison mines(poison gas goes through walls wtf) to make the entire place inaccessible with hitscan spam turrets and when u have 2 players doing it u might as well leave the match.
Add explosive bolt cross bow that way u need to be accurate and set traps cause it will have a second delay when it stick to walls but it explodes immediately after u hit an enemy,give it a scope too,it’s skill based rather then hop and peek hipfire grenades everywhere!💀
Look at the auto cross from farcry4(it’s doesn’t have to be an exact copy it’s just for reference) but make it explosive bolt that’s it but I know people who like to spam mediums grenade launcher will disagree.

[severe wave]

you wanna make light the most op class lmao. Light just needs faster regen. Light has insanely strong guns, invis is very strong, cloak is good and stun gun is op. They have low hp and are still the weakest class. But thats because light is the class that takes the most skill. So faster health regen like 1 or 2 seconds faster then the other classes would make light strong enough.

[vestal coral]

stop abusing light too many noobs with light. You don't know how to play as a team and you're just ruining everyone's games.

[mint creek]

PLEASE release more official art/wallpapers for us to see, especially for Season 2, which is now out!

[lusty grotto]

finally a rank without cheat what a pleasure this is rare in the finals.

[thick sorrel]

Can we have Solo Bank it Ranked?

[arctic perch]

Cheater solution: Take the siege route in some cases Call OF Duty. Use AI to detect unusual patterns after so put them in shadow lobbies. Also console XIM and Zen Cronus you can detect them using 3rd party software then put them in PC lobbies for the rest of the season.

[scarlet ermine]

• change defibrillator revive back to how it used to be. People just camp the on the revived person.

• guns need to be buffed it takes to long to kill people still.

[mild gull]

no. guns dont need to be buffed. having short ttk in this game would be a stupid move
the change to the defib was necessary, it was way too overpowered

[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.

[hidden thicket]

I am an xbox player, 3rd game after the update, i encounter 2 cheaters. I now get what you pc players have been complaining about. Fix your game embark

[smoky gust]

being able to "camp" the revive is the thing keeping it balanced
it forces the enemy to revive literally anywhere but next to the enemy in an open gunfight

if you are annoyed about being camped after being defibbed, i think the thing you want is a "dont revive me" option

and imo ttk is fine currently
(if anything it can feel a little too punishing to play light at times, but that's what keeps them balanced)

[night glade]

Tbh i think the state the defib is in now is actually nicely balanced defib is still strong as 3 mediums can constantly get each other up its how you play around your defibs is the key

[vestal coral]

please nerf these damn lights it has become unplayable.

[severe wave]

Turn it off bro. Longer que times sucks but this game is so infested with cheaters you will get them almost every game. And yh i agree that change was stupid.

[polar shell]

Could you please make 'Automatic' search option expand AUTOMATICALLY by ping time to other regions, if ppl dont want other regions they can still specify one....

[strong abyss]

hi, my game has been presenting issues for ranked modes, how can I get in contact with someone to get to fix it?

[proven parcel]

nerf the worst class in the game???

[bleak stratus]

Specifying a region hasn't done shit for me. I have NA region specified and I still get half my ranked games populated from Asia servers and cheaters galore.

[deep mantle]

Defib is in a decent spot, but I think you should be able to shoot through the materializing body. It protects the defib user too much. I feel like it should be a major risk to defib in front of someone

[upper citrus]

“people camp the defib”

that is literally the point of the rework. that is a good thing. don’t defib in stupid spots, that’s the entire point.

[quick coyote]

I’d like a new map, I think a new map could bring a nice uproar of players. Id like a drive in theater kind of like the abandoned theater in cod Cold War but with a finals touch.

[flint swallow]

Cheater solution: use more custom builds, so that everyone's game version is as different as possible. Although there are several versions now, they are very limited. More versions need to be added and updated every day. I hope the official can see and adopt my suggestions.

[charred geyser]

Fix matchmaking, I a gold 2 should not be matchmade with diamond 2's.

Also please do something about cloaking device, either remove it or make it work same as thermal where you're locked in.
That or add a greater penalty to receiving damage.

[robust shoal]

PC and console crossplay is bullshit Why doesn't any developer surrender? Makes crossplay between Xbox and PS5 No normal person wants crossplay between PC and consoles in the rankings

[blissful crescent]

Add 120 fps mode on console 🙏🏻

[pastel turret]

why not 1200 fps mode on console?

[smoky gust]

doesn't necessarily have to be about being too strong or lack of counterplay

stun gun is just absolutely horrendous for example

[dense dagger]

I played in finals in ranked and all of a sudden my healbeam stoped working mid game

[vestal coral]

again with this story which is the worst class ahahha 😂 make you laugh, it's the worst if you don't know how to use it. For those who think it's fun to watch entire matches with invisible people who stun you all the time, you are truly crazy, deny the evidence. The evidence is that too many players use this log to get 2 easy kills but then be useless to the team game and make the matches frustrating. Don't bother those of you who use light just because you want to imitate pro players, YouTubers and Twitchers.

[young drum]

You know. Waiting to update every Wednesday isn’t a good thing. I appreciate the consistency BUT some things need hotfixes. After your last update diamond rank has only been sustainable by winning literally every game, you can now get to the finals and lose so much points. Not to mention going against cheaters consistently. Not only am I losing points in the final rounds but to be losing because of cheaters is insane.
Valorant has a pretty good anti cheat. Can yall copy and paste?
Can yall ask for the formula?
The hotfix should’ve been for ranked. It’s actually broken now added arrows and made the system worse.

I’m one who usually ignores a lot of bs but the consistency of the bs has made so many people leave. I don’t want to be one of them but ffffff

Light is too solo play : no ''team'' gadget like shield or defibrilator
the finals is defined as a ''team play'' game , but everybody who start the game want to play light because he is like a ninja and his gameplay is like a classic fps game
please remove or nerf the invisibility and add 'team' gadget

[final haven]

absolutely insane that they’d rather introduce pc console ranked crossplay to reduce queue times rather than revert to the much superior s1 ranked system to keep players interested in actually playing ranked. it won’t be too long before this game is on life support

[violet elbow]

Light is a self sustaining anchor, its core design isnt that it doesnt play WITH a Team, its that they play APART from their team, the reason the best light Players in the game consistently dominate is because they assist their team in achoring/poking and chasing for teamwipes, they do play with their Team

Lights issue isnt its lack of teamplay, its that 99% of people dont understand the Class

[smoky gust]

for the most part id say that's a fair point

only exception to that would be stun gun, since the forced hipfire just straight up puts your survival up to rng

[glad ore]

Whatever you've done to the matchmaker is a big fail. I cannot find games anymore, and sitting in the menu for 30 minutes restarting the queue every 5-15 minutes is not entertaining.

Now thefinals official has made different custom builds of the game's main program (that is, different Discovery.exe) for different steam accounts, but the number is very limited, maybe 5 to 10. After each game update, cheating software developers will collect these versions, make sigs that adapt to each version, and then update the cheating software. If the official can make this build more, or even generate a new build not only when the game is updated, then the cheating software will need to constantly adapt to these builds, which will cause the cheating software to not work well.

Top 1000 every season and I play all classes equally. Light is the worst class in the game by almost every metric you can count. If you think lights are annoying play invis light with thermal vision. Can't argue with someone speaking in casual.

[jaunty rivet]

Gateway/ invis to get out of a situation and not get a team wipe/ dash so i can grab your statue and res you in a safe location after you died hiding behind your shield/ hell even graple out of a situation/ or wait how about a bomb so i can make the whole team invisible or a tracking dart that can ping a players entire movement or maybe even a stun gun so i can stop players from stealing the vault

my friend and I duo que and we consistently rank up and down almost randomly. we make it to the 2nd round, he goes up 2 arrows and I go down 1? (he had 18 kills and I had 12)
we make it to the 3rd round he goes up 2 arrows I go up 3 (he had 25 kills I had 18)
the only time it is consistent and we win the final we go up 3 arrows (but then we lose in the 2nd round and we both lose up arrows). we don't grind the game and only play once or twice a week for a few hours. since the start of the season we have stayed in the same rank. it feels impossible to rank up by not playing almost every day

[inland cove]

i feel like stungun is the most used gadget in the game and should be nerfed. The fact that it blocks you from using any ability is just to much. it would be fine if it was just the movement and aim penalty but losing your abilitys is to much for one ability. Also since lights already have the glitchnade it just feels unnecessary to have 2 gadgets that do the same (block player abilitys. Getting stun-gunned as a heavy is basicly a death sentence. If you realy want to keep the glitching ability of the stun-gun then it would be a possible change to reduce the effect duration to something more reasonable.

[red heron]

I haven’t gotten the skill issue set and I streamed for 30 minutes 😓

With regards to the new Rank feedback screen it is nice having some type of feedback system but i feel it is still unclear as to when you will rank up as multiple games after each other my feedback is all 3 lines filled but im still in the dark as to how many more games i need to win or so forth in order to rank up

[tribal drum]

DO something about cheaters, I am tired of seeing Plat/Diamond cheaters.. like that's a lot of hours of cheating wihout getting caught.

[wanton otter]

Please, please, please pretty please add in a slider so you can adjust the opacity of HUD items, it's so frustrating to have to ADS to see anything when a lot of stuff is stacked on top of each other. Some weapons, and gadgets for that matter, don't even allow you to ADS so you're just throwing/shooting blindly sometimes

instead, those like you who think they have the truth in their pocket and dictate the law make me laugh, but instead you're just arrogant. Many recognize that light is very strong even people who are pro players, real players, not casual players like you and many who are convinced that they are strong and know more than everyone else. The light are scandalous in every sense point.

[deft dust]

BAN HIMM NOWWW!!!!!!

[acoustic harbor]

the amount of unranked and golds boosting "asian" diamonds on EU server with cheats that can shoot through shields is worse than CB1/CB2/OPB and S1. All the dev team would have to do was check the finals big streamer's games for like 20 seconds and see whats going on and straight up live ban them. Unplayable dropping from top30 whenever I touch the game. Please help us, cant make a good anti cheat? just hire someone to live ban. This is how it worked back then on community servers and why they were the greatest thing ever

[proven parcel]

You’re not making any points. You’re just yapping. Who are these “many pro players” ?? If you go into anyone’s chat and ask what the best and worst classes in the game 9/10 people are saying light is the worst and heavy is the best. I recommend turning on night mode in your audio. Invis becomes much easier to hear and locate.

[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.

Also improve the anti cheat for the game, lately they been more cheaters around. Even stacks of full of cheaters too just infecting rank.

[vernal sparrow]

Fix the healing gun. Having an entire specialization fail to function is a game breaking bug.

I've stopped playing the game because I can't play medium heal anymore and it was my go to class. I'm finished until this is fixed. It's been an issue dating back before December.

Major, game breaking bug.

Stop adding events and other stuff to the game until the devs can fix this core mechanic.

[sturdy ginkgo]

I'd much rather have longer wait times than have to waste my time getting to the 3rd round, only to be confronted by a blatant cheater carrying 2 bots up the leaderboard. Shits boring.
At least give us a console only crossplay.

Thanks.

[wary tapir]

[visual hedge]

Sorry if someone already wrote about this, but it would be great if you could fake capture the cashout, like, if the cashout won't stop beeping immediately, but like two more seconds when you already stopped pressing the key, or something like this. This would add additional depth to the gameplay, i think.

[agile goblet]

We need console only crossplay! This match up with PC players is no fun!

[upper citrus]

Stop giving exclusive ranked rewards, why do you think so many people are cheating in ranked only? They’re selling the accounts

Also: fomo rewards are lame

[subtle copper]

not sure if they're already doing so, but they should ban the non-cheating players clearly getting boosted if they're queued up together as well

[vestal coral]

ok stay in your belief as an average player. It is objective that if you know how to use the lights you can cause havoc. Those who say it's the poorest class are the usual crybabies who want to play easy. Take away the stun gun and invisibility and you'll see how many fewer people will use it. I get into games where literally most of them are light. If you don't see this you are blind or biased. However, the light is strong but useless to the team.

[daring fossil]

I see lots of potential closet cheaters wearing bits from multiple skin bundles. Most cheaters pay for cheats, they have no problems buying skins too. It's too obvious picking out cheaters when they have zero skins.

If someone is sus AF AND has no skins, then they are more likely to be cheating. People are less likely to report sus players if they have skins

[fervent vortex]

That’s how you kill a game, I can’t say anything but the backend on cheating is a lot better than it was a month ago just not yet implemented, or embark is lying again in private cords as per season 2, bring back 1 spec per team u fucks

I hate to say this, but, sometimes I'm on a roll with a great team and I'm on the third game and something comes up and I have to leave. I hate that I have to do that, but, that’s just how my life works. It's like you washout of 3 game, start vibing on the 4th only to have my personal time run out.

[limber umbra]

Make tournaments 3 rounds to help with que times and revert whatever work Oscar just did he messed up que times it takes twice as long now no matter what you do very unhelpful

[wary tapir]

Am D2 peak light otp soloqer. Currently, light in higher elo still serves no
purpose. Considering that map design heavily subsidizes lack of movement
(not a bad thing, a design choice), and that the burst damage in the game is still too high,
light will not be run in scrims with successes against SMART players.
The key flaw in most heavies gameplay is lack of aggression. There is no counter
to two heavies entrying with rpg. The fact that the class has a delete button
on a light missing like 6% of its hp is crazy to begin with, but whatever.
2 rpgs instantly kills medium or light, and there is no warning. The deploy time
is fast, and the projectile speed is fast too. If the 2x heavy team simply forces entry
the light does not have time to glitch them. Even if you glitch them,
they will still win the gunfight because they have 233% of your hp.
Fundamentally, the heavy class will not be balanced at the highest level of play
unless it is nerfed detrimentally. However, as embark has stated that they balance
for casual play, here's probably what will happen. Cloak will be nerfed again
(dumb imo but w/e), fcar stays thbe same (even though the gun STILL has the same
close range TTK for all classes since release~!). APS will literally be a game breaking
gadget at the highest levels of play, I don't understand why that is in the game
as utility is the counter to bunker comps. Already people see how op it is on powershift,
which is basically the only game mode where casuals do bunker comps.
Additionally, heal beam is laughably toxic at the highest levels of play, since any
non lethal dmg is instantly forgiven.At the end of the day, until light
has some way of providing effective hp for his team, he will not be good in pro.
Dont get me wrong, light is strong in burgerlow and ok in the average ranked lobby
where mistakes plague every team. But light will never be good at the highest
echelon of play.

[ebon elbow]

Add mnk support now that we are playing against pc players

[heady ibex]

idea 💡 : what if the faster you fall on a slant it sends you flying forward quicker for example if i jump off a building and land on a slanted surface i should get launched forward and the faster i fall on it the faster i get launched, just an idea you can think about adding later in the future, and work on but it would be really cool addition

i don’t get why aps tourets block grenade launchers. if that’s the case then grenade launchers shouldn’t be classed as weapons they should be gadgets

Can we get this in the game please 😄

[quick coyote]

heavy isnt brainless its true, Ms or Ls need more skill but if you play a weapon like the lewis or M60 you need aim, with the rocket launger you can control when the cashout falls down and you can do many things more so its not just brain dead

[grizzled hornet]

True that brother. I believe that even simple minded children could do a better job at developing this game. A Fortnite creative developer with 32 different confirmed mental illnesses could do a better job as well. These devs don’t know left from right. All they’ve done is steal assets from Fortnite and other better games. The world would be a better place if people just played not the Finals. As for game feedback: Stop game development and rethink your decisions. Never again will I ever tolerate these young buck development teams. They’re all non sigjutsu using monkeys.

[uneven quiver]

If you’re saying this then I know you just haven’t tried it. Using sword is easy yes, but the positioning and decision making required to make it viable is very difficult and takes time and energy. Every game should reward the player for playing more.

[jagged cedar]

So we're in paper

[graceful tapir]

I don't care how they developed the game, where the assets are coming from and what not. My only issues is balancing that has been a glaring issue since like... Closed beta
Meta from the previous season is almost untouched, fcar is still the best weapon in the game and they keep dishing cosmetics, dagger doesnt even work properly 90% of the time since release, sword is a gamble because melee hit registration has been broken for ages now
I understand they need to make some kind of revenue but bruh fix the game's glaring issues first?? some forums on this server have been going on for months unfixed and the last update did nothing but change... Famas? and a new cosmetic set for 15 usd

It doesn't take a genius to realize that some weapons just need a damage or firerate nerf to affect their overall dps instead of nerfing their effective range. The latter is more skill expressive which is why it should stay.

@brisk juniper They slightly nerfed the fcar's effective range... That did nothing as you can probably tell

[brisk juniper]

They just nerfed fcar did they not?

[daring fossil]

and it's still the best gun in the game

[karmic forge]

idk what is going but the finals is kicking me without disallowed software, is someone having this issue aswell?

[muted steeple]

How i can entblock friends

[junior knoll]

I think the game over screen where the weapon and gadget levels are shown should only show the items you leveled up. I don't need to see the rest of my loadout and currently it doesn't show all of the items I used in a match if I change my archetype mid-game (i.e. in Power Shift)

[proven parcel]

Yap on lil bro I’m still higher rank than you. light has some amazing abilities and weapons. Still far from being the best class in the game or needing a nerf. Half the shit you’re spewing doesn’t make any sense.

[upper citrus]

revert the stun gun to how it was in the closed beta (not open beta)

it was so much healthier for the game. i dont remember anyone complaining about it

When the stunned person took damage the stun went away, was used to stun and run instead of being used as a almost free kill like it is now

[latent shoal]

Hello, i am a light throwing knives main, yeah i know, but i love this weapons. I think the buff needed for the throwing knives it's not dmg or somthing els, but just the possibility to hold the right click and throw it when we want, it's can be amazing

PLS ADD INPUT BASED MATCHMAKING!!!! Not only will it fix this server update that u guys have added but, it will allow for better queue times, and console players can play with their pc friends without playing at a disadvantage

[daring fossil]

stunned the person completely (couldn't turn either) but stun effect ends as soon as they took damage. Having it this way would completely stop it being crutched on for free/easy/annoying kills and would make it a proper utility. It would allow you to stun 1 person in a group of 2 to be able to fight the one person while the other is stunned too on top. It would be WAY better that way. I run stun, but the only time I stun someone to kill them is if I'm weak and being chased, otherwise I use it almost exclusively just to stop steals or get someone to drop the vault.

[rough finch]

make rank gain also based on the rank of the people you play against

[modern wedge]

as a throwing knives enjoyer
the m2 is built like that because you have to push after you click m2
i do agree tho, it would be awesome to see it be more viable and used more in ranked. i think the only way to buff it would be by slightly increasing throw speed and making m2 do a bit more dmg

[vestal coral]

you are arrogant and you are not objective it is useless to talk to you. Most use the Light because it becomes invisible and uses the stun gun to have an easy kill, if you remove or nerf the stun gun and invisibility I'll show you how everyone stops using this class especially the noobs who want to be pro players. Then I repeat, if you don't know how to use light, it's another matter, because if you know how to play at all, you'll kick your ass with light. Then we partly agree that as a class it is useless in terms of team play but it is not a weak class. Who knows why there isn't a light that doesn't have a stun gun and invisibility and everyone uses it so who knows why, there are very few who use the dash or the grappling hook for example, and everyone uses the stun gun.

[mossy marlin]

Optimize this game please, thanks.

[arctic tartan]

Unless you devs want to kill your game hear me out:

As a competive player recent changes to spawn system are really so bad im missing spawning on top of enemys. It doesn't reward game knowledge anymore, game can just decide if you lose or win, its so stupid. Yeah the spawn camping was and issue that needed to be dealt with, but you just made every skilled player to smash their heads into the wall with this new spawn system.

Revert ranked back to old system or fix it. Now all higher ranked players get targetted on lobby or lower ranked teams are just gonna be ran over by everyone cuz they can see their rank ingame. Also ranked feels so unrewarding right now even I dont want to grind it anymore. I have 500h in this game and was in top 1700 last season but now this just feels so absurd when I was stuck in Gold 1 and plat 4 for 2 weeks. With old system I could even see when I need to win and when I can afford to have fun. Now it just feels so bad when you have no way to know are you even close to next rank. 2 wins, 1 final game loss, 3 semifinals and 1 round 2 was finally enought to get me up from P4 to P3 like bruh. (Round 2 loss was just cuz someone was aimbotting the whole lobby lol)

Fix the cheating problem, or even do anything to make us think you fixed it. For now it seems like you guys dont give a flying fuck about someone cheating in your game ;D Almost every game on plat ranks you get a full diamond stack with dudes aimbotting blatantly. How can they even get to diamond in first place? Like what how wont they be banned before that? I know yeah its not that easy to get all cheaters out of a free to play game but something needs to be done for chinese dudes with insane gaming chairs. Out of your remaining 20k players feels like I run into a cheater in 50% of games, and yeah I have the game knowledge to know when someone is good and when someone is cheating.

These are the things why a big Finals enjoyer is not even wanting to play ranked anymore^^

[proud thistle]

new cheat. infinity inviz

[subtle tree]

"I've got nothing to say, but 1v1 me bro." You're the most annoying type of gamer.

[pseudo breach]

Don't think it's new. Pretty sure I've read about it in this server.

Also, just got stuck on a loading screen. Could hear the game and everyone shooting the crap out of each other, but only seeing loading screen

[grizzled hornet]

In the realm of competitive gaming, balance is paramount to ensuring an enjoyable and fair experience for all players. If the Fcar assault rifle in "The Finals" is widely regarded as underpowered or simply ineffective compared to other weapons, it threatens the overall balance of the game. A weapon's usefulness should not be determined solely by its name or aesthetic; it should be competitive and viable in various gameplay scenarios.

Buffing the Fcar is necessary to address its perceived inadequacies and bring it up to par with other weapons in the game. Whether it's through increasing its damage output, improving its accuracy, or enhancing its handling characteristics, a well-executed buff can revitalize the Fcar and make it a more appealing choice for players. This not only promotes diversity in gameplay but also ensures that all weapons have their time to shine, enriching the overall gaming experience.

By acknowledging and addressing the shortcomings of the Fcar, developers can demonstrate their commitment to maintaining a balanced and engaging gameplay environment. Players should feel empowered and excited to wield any weapon in their arsenal, knowing that each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. Through thoughtful buffs and adjustments, the Fcar can reclaim its status as a formidable choice in "The Finals," contributing to dynamic and rewarding gameplay for all participants.

[jagged cedar]

D1 OB and S1. Never enjoyed ranked enough to grind above that tho

[jolly haven]

It doesnt take a genenius to realize it but a genius over a long time to balance it 🙂

[clear trout]

honestly different gamemodes should have different events, imagine powershift with dead go boom

[vernal swallow]

Day 3 feedback is appreciated

Ability ideas:

Light- had something here before but was a bit too over powered so still thinking of one

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 at 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

Gear:

Light- combat stim, cooldown 15 secconds, when used it will take out a stim which when you have it out can switch between 2 options, first one is health which then when used will have a 5 seccond animation of injecting it and heals for 25 health, and the seccond option is poison which you can hit an enemy with and it will act a lot like a glitch grenade but also cause 7 damage per seccond and will last for 5 secconds (not sure about poison might just make it heal only)

Medium- backup pistol, it’s a colt m1911 that has 1 mag of 7 ammo and causes 8 damage per bullet and regens a bullet every 9 secconds

Heavy- battering ram, it’s a metal SWAT battering ram that when clicked takes double the time a heavy swing on a sledgehammer takes but makes a hole in the wall or wherever you hit it 1.5x the side of a sledgehammer swing, if it hits a contestant it causes 80 damage

[short stirrup]

This developing noobtube meta is so bad

[silver oyster]

I firmly believe that the throwing knife right click is insanely weak and needs a windup speed buff. It shouldn’t take that long to do 180 damage when the sniper can do it extremely fast, regardless since the throwing daggers have so much drop off why can’t the throw speed be faster for its right click, it just feels like you can’t use the right click at all when playing daggers.

[torpid sky]

That's so cool, as someone who is playing light recently with a stun gun I'm okay with this

[daring fossil]

fcar is the best weapon in the game. drugs are bad.

@silver oyster I gave up on throwing knives as much as I loved using them because all my feedback about them just go into the void and nothing has changed. They slightly buffed the throw speed since launch and it's imperceptible. They need better range, so you're not staring at the sky to throw them over 50 feet, the right click needs to be charge and release with max damage happening only after like a 2-3 second charge up, and they need to remove spread/bloom when airborn so you can hit people while on the move or in the air. I don't understand why Embark continues to push RNG mechanics on high skill required weapons.

[arctic perch]

So why the heck did you guys add cross play console to merge with PC players ? For one the cheating problem is already ridiculous so no I will not being having that on. Matter of fact I'd rather have longer q times

Does anyone even have the courage to say that the turrets are ok? but remove all this rubbish.

no aim assist for melee would be a godsend so many skill-lets would suffer

Do you guys now where I can report a translation issue ?

[grizzled hornet]

Nuh uh.

[meager stump]

MAKE ALL DAMAGE BREAK HEALING BEAM.

THIS IS A COMMON SENSE CHANGE. HEALING THROUGH DAMAGE IS CRINGE.

FIX IT.

[scarlet jackal]

Turn off K&M support for consoles —> Nerf aim assist, because PC players have difficulty with crossplay -> forcibly throw console players into a PC lobby 90% made up of cheaters and give console players no chance to stay alive because we cannot shoot beam as K&M do.

[proven socket]

love this game, best free game of 2024

[shut cosmos]

Would love some kind of “recent history” tab. Something where you could go back and look at scoreboards from recent games. Maybe even a replay system to go back and rewatch your recent matches.

[modern wedge]

lol false exploit detect

wtf is wrong with easy anticheat lmao it cant detect real cheaters but it autokicks random ass people

[daring fossil]

remove ranked exclusive cosmetics. there are other better ways of giving people skins they can feel good about earning, like instead of having an ugly ass pink zebra pattern for level 7 (for less XP grind than the superior level 6 skin which makes absolutely no sense), you could have actual skin progression (that isn't just mostly recolors) eventually ends in the diamond skins. The AKM skin was only available during a beta, and will most likely never be available again. Fomo is terrible in any game, but having seasonal fomo in ranked when the ranked experience is the worst aspect of the game currently, is worse and probably contributes to the cheating problem.

[dusk forge]

ranked progression broken, MM ranked broken, kinda disrespectful to your paying customers fixing nothing? Lets Embark shine in a light which is brown like dogshit to me

[vestal coral]

but is it my impression or has it become unplayable in these two days? Could it be an increase in cheaters? There's something strange, it seems like they've all magically become very strong.

[crisp moss]

I'm being killed left and right. I know my positioning sucks but I feel like I'm being one shotted

[jolly dock]

Why does the tanks rpg do way more damage to themselves than what it can do?

[vivid hatch]

Please allow 1v1s in the private matches, let go of the arbitrary limitation that requires at least six people before you can launch the private match.

[shadow stirrup]

The spawning system in this game exhibits the developments complete absence of conditions. If the combined maximum movement speed and spawn distance quite literally disallow a team from reaching on overtime cashout, stop wasting peoples time and kick them from the game rather than respawning them. Or even better, apply some fifth grade math to make the spawns not be ridiculously far.

[proven parcel]

Light has some of the best utility in the game. You just need to know how to use it. Understandably most light players do not know how to play the class properly.

[ocean shore]

please add the option to see your ranked progression outside of after a ranked tournament. i want to know how close i am to ranking up before starting another and if i accidentally click past the animation i won't know until im done with the next tournament

[hasty wren]

Facts

[wet herald]

Stuns needs to be reworked. It's the most free utility in the game. Can't win your 1v1s? Stun. About to lose the cashout? Stun. Want to make anyone using melee weapons completely useless? Stun. The moment a stun player is damaged, they should be able to move again.

[vestal coral]

How long does it take you to improve this obscene matchmaking?

[daring fossil]

as long as it takes for the player base to grow enough for match making to not be shit

[quartz shell]

that would make healing beam useless, maybe reduce the amount of heal per second when receiving damage

[subtle tree]

Don't be a cry baby, win the fight while stunned.

[vernal swallow]

tbh you should make more fake ads for the billboards on the maps, it was pretty cool seeing an ad for ospuze a while ago and I think it would be interesting to see more of that

@wet herald fr light mains always just say “just kill the light” like me with a hammer can kill a light 20 feet away that just insta beams my head and I die in a seccond lol

[sharp pawn]

Is it normal for Silver players to be matched against Diamond players in ranked games?

[static ivy]

Fix Heavy barrier placement issues. Happens far to often when I’m in a frantic situation and my barrier won’t place because the ground isn’t 100% flat or there is a pebble in the way. please embark!

[vocal bloom]

With events, there should be an early warning sign for what the event will be. It can often be frustrating to be mid fight and then all of a sudden it's low gravity and you're stuck in the air. Maybe an icon pops up in the corner 15 seconds prior to the event could be a good option?

[vestal coral]

the crybaby child is you and all those who defend the stung gun, who knows when it comes to the stung gun all you light children come out into the open to defend your toy. The stun gun is shit. I play games where I move like a madman I do kill after kill then comes a light stun gun instant kill. And the excuse that you can shoot is bullshit, you can't always do it because you're slow to turn around. Therefore for you children it is right and correct that a dwarf goes around not only invisible with high damage weapons but they must also stun you. And also ask for light buff. The truth is that players like you are poor and want an easy win. I can't wait for them to ruin these lights forever because they will and so uninstall the game and remove the toxic part that doesn't play for the team and the objectives but plays only to be a phenomenon. I can't wait to see all these light babies cry. You are all the same toxic and arrogant.

Found the stun crutch. "just kill them" doesn't work with the medicore hipfire of half the weapons in the game. Good luck if you have a melee weapon either. Can't wait until it gets reworked or removed

[dense ivy]

PLEASE JUST HOTFIX CROSSPLAY DISABLED TO INCLUDE CONSOLE CROSSPLAY SO THAT WE CAN PLAY WITH FRIENDS ON THE OTHER CONSOLE WITHOUT BEING IN PC LOBBIES

I understand there is a longer term solution in the works, but for now this one change would be extremely beneficial. Many of my friends that I play casually with are on PS5 and it’s literally impossible to just have a chill, fun match right now if I want to play with them. I don’t mind playing with pc players in my lobby when I’m queuing ranked and ready to play hard, or potentially have a pc player in my premade; but this is actually hot garbage.

Up until now nothing has made me go “I genuinely don’t want to play this game” but this is just extremely idiotic.

Sidenote:
@wet herald

medicore hipfire of half the weapons in the game.

The m60, Lewis, FCAR, AKM, FAMAS, XP54, M11, V9S, LH1, KS23, cl40, revolver, r93, and model 1887 can all kill a light with hipfire from 12m in less time than the light can kill the respective class that carries them.

For the light weapons listed, unless the light using the stun gun is running the V9S, the switch time of the stun gun means that the stunned light will have a shorter ttk vs the light who stunned them. Stop trying to strafe after you get stunned, you’re not moving enough to juke bullets and it ruins your hipfire cone. You can literally test what I’m saying with free video editing software and check the frames between when you start firing till when the light dies. This is the definition of a skill issue. You’re dying because you’re out of position, and if you were playing tight with your team, even if the light killed you, they won’t be able to capitalize on it.

[mossy cape]

on god

[placid narwhal]

Open up private matches to any size group! The whole point of private games is to be able to strategize with my team! By only allowing groups of six, you completely remove the existence of the game type for anyone who isn’t running competitive clan matches.

[balmy panther]

1. I would love it if we got a LOT more slots. I love making outfits, and with all of these outfits rolling out, we dont have enough slots. 2. I think we should be able to nickname our friends on our friends list, and our contestant slots. 3. In power shift, make it so only a select amount of weapons are usable for the mode. I love bunny bash a whole lot more than normal Power Shift because there arent dumb weapons like the sniper which loses you a teammate, or weapons that dont really work with the mode in general. 4. Whenever I use a melee weapon on PC the aim assist messes me up and PC players do not need it. 5. Make it so when you open the battle pass it starts you on the page you are on. In season 1, it did this but it doesnt do it anymore and it gets on my nerves. 6. make it so you can 1v1 in private matches. you dont really need a minimum player limit that is more than 2 or 4. HM. please add back unranked tournaments. I love playing tournaments but im just a casual player at the end of the day, so the unranked tourney is perfect for me. I get that you guys are promoting ranked, so its just a thought.

[jagged cedar]

lol did you admit to getting bodied by a dagger while also coping about sonar dash and thermal in the same sentence

[quick coyote]

I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this, but I can't equip more than one animation at a time per gun, if it even manages to equip. If I equip an animation there's a high chance it won't even actually equip and I'll still be using the default animations

[hollow moat]

ranked quick cash. think about it

[keen heath]

Oh I just remembered about a Bug with Evasion dash where the trail still shows so people can fallow you perfectly and see you if you use vanishing bomb

[viral pulsar]

I think it'd be cool if there was a hardcore event, a limited time game mode where you would have 50% hp or 50% more damage

[vernal swallow]

yo fr this games so light meta and yet since 90% of the people in this game love light so much including the devs they don’t do anything except give heavy nerf after nerf like it’s annoying that the only buff heavy has gotten is for ks-23 which by the way is still the worst heavy weapon

all the lights say that like is to under powered but it’s just them being bad because I promise everyone here if you know how to actually use light you can be better than the entire lobby

[ebon elbow]

Make the sensitivity higher for controller,

I play cod with max sensitivity so when I started playing the finals I turned everything to max, but it still doesn’t feel fast enough, I wouldn’t mind if u guys could add or make the the meter go farther, Ty ❤️

[keen kestrel]

wheres yalls marketing at? smh. Never be seeing an ad on anything. This game is amazing but it dying at this rate.

[clear trout]

you just admitted to getting clattered by dagger users, i would leave if i were you

[timber mural]

I disagree with everything here
FOMO isnt always a bad thing, it can be nice to have an incentive to play ranked, and its especially nice to have a reward for the time and effort it takes to get there, as well as something i can actively show to my friends
i also dont think ranked is the worst aspect, i think its the best because i can fight compotent players there instead of pub stomping

also the pink skin is likely intended to just be an extra reward, which is why it costs less xp, they will likely continue to add more skins that are just bonuses

[near lava]

Thank you for having a brain and understanding that console players don’t want to be in pc lobbies bless ur heart for having the common sense most others lack.

Nah, I’d win

[rapid stream]

So were in paper 10

[lucid bay]

I don't think the main reason there are cheaters is for the skins, at least the reason why you see a lot of cheaters in asia is because they are trying to sell diamond accounts so people don't have to grind ranked (which is funny if you think about it because they are spending money to not have to play the game 🤣 )

[half iris]

When there is 9 of them, yeah easily clagged, this is game feedback, im giving some, ur trolling. So wydufo 🙂

[vestal coral]

I know you have main light children who feel like pro players. It's like this in all pvp games always following the most annoying and broken meta. Mediums who instead of healing use turrets and fcars and no longer even carry a defibrillator, light with stun gun and invisibility, heavy with rocket launcher and pump and flame thrower. Everyone playing in a toxic way. And they all feel strong but in reality they are very poor, because if you take away their Meta they no longer know how to play and they cry. This is why they are so afraid of nerfs.

[violet solstice]

You are the arrogant one. You obviously dont have much time in the game or play multiple modes or take notice of much while playing to make blanket claims like you are. I play Light main & have never used the stun gun....ever! I also run up against many other lights while playing & they also dont have stun gun. Dont make absurd claims like "everyone uses the stun gun" if u want to be taken seriously dude. I also see many many light players using dash & grapple hook on a regular basis so dont make blanket claims like "there are very few who use the dash or grappling hook" either because it is utilised a huge amount by many players (even annoys the shit outta me & I am a light lol). It seems to me from your comment that the only thing you notice is the attributes of the player class that kills you because maybe they out classed you by running cloak &/or stun gun. Stun gun is useful if used right from what Ive experienced on the other end of it lol but its not the guaranteed kill people make it out to be. Ive killed plenty of lights while Ive been stunned cos I can still aim & shoot & they come at me from the wrong direction. I also dont think Light is useless as a team play either. Light class is meant to be played in a different way with hit/run tactics & running the flanks to ASSIST their teammates win the objective. This game isnt about the Kill count dude its about winning the objective. You are right though that if they nerf Cloak &/or Stun less people will play the Light class but simply because Light class is already so weak that the gadgets & specialization's are the only thing that make it playable because for the most part a Light cant stand toe to toe with a M or H because they will be slaughtered so Light has to use Tactics, gadgets & specialization's to be effective at all as a class. I read lots of comments in here & I see a common thread......everyone always seems to want the Class that they dont play Nerfed in some way to make their Class better & have less chance of dying....go figure LOL. Leave light Cloak alone & just learn to deal with it just like Lights have do deal with every other class having way more HP than them. People also always seem to forget that there are lights on most teams & sometimes entire teams of Lights which as a Light myself I also have to deal with them & their attributes, gadgets & specializations but you dont see me in here whining about Lights & wanting them Nerfed because they killed me using dash & a sword or killing me using grapple & LH1. You also dont see me whing about the M & H's killing me because they have more HP or because the medium used a turret instead of shooting me himself or because a heavy used a flamethrower or RPG to kill me because I just deal with it because thats the whole point of the game is that different classes have different strengths & weaknesses so choose wisely & specialize. It also makes a big difference to who your teammates are, how good they are, if they play as a team &/or communicate & it makes a difference how good the other teams are etc etc etc...its a team game not a solo game & has an objective. This statement right here from you says it all " I play games where I move like a madman I do kill after kill then comes a light stun gun instant kill. " so in other words you have no problem having a kill streak yourself & killing 1 after the other but if someone kills you OMG how dare they!!! Go cry on Greta's shoulder mate Im sure she will coddle you & give you validation!

[visual bronze]

put in a streamer mode to hide there name it prolly puts off larger streamers from playing. if there just gonna get stream sniped all day why play. could be good for marketing

We lost the final round, and I get this rating... <@&1012034066876473384> can you do everyone the kindness of reporting back to embark just to tell them that their rank system is completely dogshit and needs maximal attention and fixing ASAP. Also good to note the matchmaking loves to put me with dogshit, bottom of the barrel garbage teammates, would be good for you guys to look into and put near the very top of the list.

[pseudo latch]

DAY THIRTY! GIVE IT UP FOR DAY THIRTY 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

[digital thorn]

yeah this shit be happning and sometimes hit or miss for exmaple i could go 0-20 and only get one down arrow

[past ridge]

I don’t know if there’s a Report button but the amount of throws and trolls lately has been ridiculous

[wet herald]

The fact that you need to stand completely still to have enough accuracy to win against stun goes further towards the reasoning to nerf it. If used correctly anyway that miniscule switch time is irrelevant as you should be hitting players from a flank or whenever they aren't already going after you.

Also the point of team coordination isn't always possible even with really good teams. A lot can go on especially with third partying. And good luck getting any coordination in quickplay

It's only a skill issue for those who rely on it for kills.

If your game crashes and then you get back into the game, why do you get a ban and a full rank drop, for example plat 2 back to plat 3. I want my MMR back, and I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to. That's actual trash. This games worse than R6 and that's pretty fucking bad

[smoky gust]

moving without ads makes the hipfire cone worse
but even if you dont move during a hipfire, its still partially up to chance
but maybe its really not that bad

up until now, i never thought too much about moving during a stun
any time i asked for a change to stun gun, ive always been hit with "skill issue"

players that don't know complain
and players that know say its not that big of a deal

so perhaps the best option is to disable movement completely during a stun
that way players don't accidentally ruin their hipfire all the time, just because they miss this vital knowledge

nothing changes about the actual functionality or balance of the item, it would just lead to less complaints about it

[pseudo latch]

Okay but what if yes?

I'm from Brazil and can't find Tournament matches to do the Win a Tournament quest.

Take this stupid shit of me in pc lobbies out I ran into a three stack of fucking cheaters or make the anti cheat better please 🥺

[calm sequoia]

Imagine The Finals merch of their ingame clothes?
I would actually buy a lot of them.

[edgy wharf]

Possibly add an option to reroll completed contracts to gain more xp

[violet yoke]

I don't like the way the new update shows how you rank up or down in tournament. I like the old way where it shows you the slider on how close you are to ranking up or down. The way it is now with just the arrows it is hard to tell how close I am the ranking up.

Me too and damn this is game feedback but it’s just complaints about the ranked system but I can’t blame anyone it is pretty screwed right now I just find it funny it’s about one thing

[sinful gazelle]

Missing bullet in the spray pattern of the lewis every time, its like a poorly made edit of the lewis recoil control

Medium class description still says "scanning" as a specialization

[placid hazel]

fix the healing beam gglitch

[grave cairn]

ps5 for quest? is it possible?

[pseudo relic]

They need to fix rank.

[wooden nexus]

im only silver in the game

Wonderful to loose rank when placed with only two teammates...

DAY 24 OF ASKING FOR A GRAPHICAL PERFORMANCE MODE!

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

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

HOW IN THE WORLD YOU'RE GETTING -1 FOR GETTING TO THE FINAL ROUND?!

[near snow]

aimbotter on purple, do something about these fucking losers or your game will die

[pallid gull]

So I'm playing ranked with my friend. We have the same rank. We drop out knockout round 2. We had more or less the same stats during that game. My friend gained +100 position on the leaderboard, while I lost -150. Sryly that's ridiculous!

Could ANYONE please explain me how ranked progression works this season?

[glass fjord]

the answer is: it doesnt.

[vernal swallow]

the better answer is: its garbage.

[simple burrow]

a dragon skin or a trombone(or music gun, like the dubstep cannon from saits row, or another instrument) skin for flamethrower and you can play notes on in as inspect

[hasty trout]

Health beam been glitching all day, either fix it or let us change specialization mid game :/

[median path]

please fix this cosmetic issue! Thank you!

[real rivet]

when they gonna fix healing bean glitch >?

[subtle tree]

You lost to platinum and silver as a diamond, or course you lost rank. Your odds in that tournament were likely very high, gonna hurt to be on the wrong side of those odds.

Too many stoopid players.

[toxic apex]

Can we get number rating back pls game devs, i would like to know where i am in relation to ranking up

[pseudo relic]

So wait if Im Platinum 4 I can go back to gold 1?

[fierce valve]

1887 reload needs to be reworked. It's infuriating

[foggy orbit]

I didn't understand a single sentence, I have no idea what you're trying to say.

@jagged cedar so it's my fault that I lose rank because I can't get first place solely by myself while simultaneously being in a lobby with a double diamond team? Yeah that seems fair. How can you say it's a lower ranked tournament when it's mixed?!

[jagged cedar]

losing as a high rank in a lower ranked tournament will result in less elo gained or more elo lost

[willow leaf]

Why are you forced to play after your teammate leaves?

[light wagon]

why am i losing rank for round 4 ???????????????????

[vale acorn]

I've noticed this as well, I don't care for it

[unreal mulch]

fix anti-cheat

[fickle zodiac]

i agree, the anti-cheat is pretty bad. i VS a cheater almost everyday in ranked tourny, they dont even try and hide it

[near snow]

in the feedback page after a match you forgot to add an option for bad teammates and cheaters on enemy team

[shut sail]

Please add keyboard and mouse to console such as the ps5 and xbox series S and X, I would feel it would make player without a personal computer happy to play on keyboard and mouse, which could improve this game and boost my love for it, if any employee see this and consider this idea please also add settings for it! thanks you for reading 🩷 i am aware that there was a bug that had aim assist on keyboard and mouse even though your playing keyboard in mouse if you guys could please add it back and if so could i please get a response even if you deny the idea, again ty for reading 💗

[midnight aurora]

so when is unranked tournament coming back?

[gilded veldt]

Can we get a way to LIMIT THE NUMBER OF SPECALIZATIONS IF A TEAM IS RUNNING THE SAME CLASS????? Triple healing beam medium teams are severely overpowered

[austere stag]

fix cheaters on eu servers ffs
ranked unplayable

[dreamy spindle]

Is Invis and Stun Gun going to get a rework? Also the CL-40 seems rampant these days. I would love to see more weapons added or a few buffs to Medium loadouts.

[slim sun]

PLEASE FIX THE HEAL GUN IT’S NOT WORKING PROPERLY EVEN IN RANKED

CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE FUCKING NERF INVIS , IM TIRED OF THE SAME SHIT EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GAME. PUT A GOD DAMN COOL DOWN ON IT OR SOMETHING PLEASE USE YOUR FUCKING BRAINS EMBARK

[left topaz]

why are the colors always so similar in ranked? pink and salmon and orange are sometimes hard to tell apart, especially with quick glances

[abstract geyser]

not here to hate, but i hope the ranked system is getting adjusted.
i drop 30-40 kill games, win three tournaments back to back and no rank up in gold 3. it seems off because no other gold players in my games drop these numbers and back to back wins.

[hallow kite]

stop kicking player when they don't join a ranked sooner. i just crasher and got kicked with mass loss of elo

[violet solstice]

Cheaters are ruining the game!! A fix to anti cheat needs to be a number 1 priority if this game is to survive.

[stark maple]

Cheaters!!!! WaAaaaAAahhhh cries about cheaters Wahhh omg stop the cheaters!!! ree

[midnight aurora]

can you make it so i dont keep ranking up everytime i lose. literally impossible to get one win

[limber umbra]

No

[vivid sequoia]

Good to see am not the only one who thinks this game falling off!

[drifting lagoon]

[tribal glen]

how about adding a gifting items in the shop to friends option?

[quick coyote]

Custom frag grenade explosions? I unno.

[fringe pebble]

i think devs need to provide us back the rank that we had for last season atleast we know how much we need for rank up , played whole day won 2 matches didn't rank up yet, been stuck on one rank from the last 2 days cause i dont know when i will get rank up. Devs please fix this soon no wonder why this game is dying.

[rapid stream]

Please make ranked 3v3 being ratted for the 100,000,000,000th time is super unfun and boring

[abstract geyser]

you can do it over steam. dunno about console

[subtle gazelle]

we need opacity settings for hud icons and assists counts as kills, also decrease the health gap between classes (i can leave or take the last but the other two i really want)

[teal carbon]

can we reduce the visual recoil on the V9S and the LH1 for the light? probably the main set back from making them a viable weapon choice

[odd flax]

FIX THE DAMN ANTI CHEAT PLEASE ITS USELESS TOO MANY CHINESE CHEATER IN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!

[odd ibex]

💀I tried playing power shift the game is full of snipers,jumping medium grenade launcher and flamethrower heavy it’s an awful experience.

In quick cash it’s Lewis and f scar that still beams every player all the time and m11 needs hipfire and recoil nerf.

The cloak has got a visual buff cause I really can’t see it and in Reddit everyone agrees,remember cloak was made when it took 2 mags to get a player now cloak and smg milliseconds melt players out of no where!

Listen! U can’t have season1 weapons with season 2 balance it doesn’t work,it’s a mess and u r losing player look at the numbers,those dumb new weapons won’t fix ur game with that ks23 being an inferior revolver and famas being mediocre as shit.

Stop trying to make this game having such a fast time to kill competitive esport call of duty knock off that u can’t make use of the environment like it was so fun post launch now the fun stuff got nerfed out of the game.

[minor vigil]

clipping with the CNS top and a backbag :<

[dense ivy]

Moving while hip firing makes your hip fire cone worse is what I’m saying. If you stand still you have much better accuracy. Yes it’s still up to chance, but most of the weapons in the game have fairly decent hip fire when standing still.

If stun gun was actually overpowered we’d see every high level team running a light with stun. But we don’t, because it’s not. It’s a punish mechanic, and it does its job well but it’s on a class that’s extremely fragile, and by has to be out of position in order for optimal use of the stun gun. which means a lot of the time the light dies and the downed player gets defibbed, making it a negative trade.

Disabling movement could help, but what I keep suggesting is that it should place the stunned player into crouch. Crouching hipfire with most of the weapons in the game is extremely accurate and from 12m things like the fcar literally don’t miss a bullet if you’re on target and crouching while not moving. It also makes you a smaller target, so if you have height advantage for instance it becomes significant harder for the light to beam you.

@wet herald

You don’t have to stand still, I’m giving you advice that helps quite a bit because you seem to struggle with it. It’s not like I don’t get stunned, we are playing the same game after all. I just don’t have an issue with it, and neither do most of the higher level players I know. Yes there are going to be times where it allows for a key pick on you, but so does the rpg, c4, breach charge, and dematerializer.
Absolutely there are times where you get separated from your team, and if you do a light is just as likely to be able to kill you, or otherwise take you out of the fight by forcing you to hide at one shot level health for the 10 second health recharge delay+time for your health to actually restore. The extended ttk from the stun gun fools people into thinking they could just ads and strafe they’d be able to outplay the light that started shooting them from flank

[astral vale]

Will there be an update today, I look forward to updating the anti-cheating mechanism today, being in Asia is not able to play on the Asian server, which makes people very uncomfortable, the Asian server environment is too horrible

[midnight aurora]

if i could stop ranking up everytime i lose that would be great. Literally impossible to make it to the finals

@stray basalt use your head for a second. If i keep losing then why am i ranking up and getting placed against people that are clearly above my skill level? i want ranked to actually be ranked

[stray basalt]

So you want ranked to stop being ranked? 💀 @midnight aurora oh ok I honestly didn’t know that it did that as I barely play ranked. That’s why I thought you meant to say down not up. My bad ✌️

[slim sun]

creator mode?

[versed mountain]

Hard disagree on the stun not being OP. When you combine it being able to be invisible (fully invisible when sitting still I should add) its too easy to go in and kill, and dip out again. I think a change needs to happen to the stun gun itself. It does too much. Slowing an enemy is enough, but disabling ADS, or any gadget outside the primary is too much, especially for how quickly it recharges.

[uneven mountain]

silver getting into a game of bronze 4s pls fix ranked

[subtle swan]

make the season shorter by like 20 or 30 days

[woven hawk]

Probably in a few hours.

I used to never see cheaters, maybe once every 200 games, but in season 2 I believe a wall-hack got spread very widely (I think because recon is gone); and possibly other cheats.
It's almost like there's 50-100x more cheaters this season or something, or maybe I'm just being placed against them much more often.

[real moon]

if an update does happen today it'll probably be in around 8 hours

[terse burrow]

My mates and I can't get a ranked match two of us are plat 4 and the other is gold 1 and we can't find a match together anyone else have this issue?

[pseudo latch]

Anyways Id like to do my daily complaining about how mindless medium is.

Defib chaining is silly and so is defib ghosts blocking bullets. Defib in its current state encourages an unengaging playstyle of running up mindlessly for revives and turning fights into "who can last longer" Which is usually the MMH team you need to kill six people worth of players due to defibs and medguns.

Its not healthy, and leads to boring gameplay. Moving on.

[upper citrus]

On top of this, the ratting meta in tournaments fully encourages the MMH comp because of how likely you are to be pushed by an extra team

[molten trail]

agreed. defib is the lamest thing in this game. at least make it so you cant defib if youve been shot at in the last x seconds. rewards way too many dog sht plays

[keen path]

when will shop reset timer be accurate.

[proud eagle]

i came back after 15 years only to find your diamond players are mostly hackers

[pastel mantle]

NEED FAME PONTS & better ANTI-CHEAT.

[keen heath]

Please Punish leaver so they cant just leave a game and que up a new game

To avoid punishing people who crash give the player who DCs/left 1 min to reconnect if they don't manage to get back the slot will be available to a new player and the player that left that match will be punished for leaving and be forced to wait 5 min to Que up for another game of any type, the more they leave a game and don't rejoin back the longer the timer gets, But to avoid someone just spamming Leave and rejoin to avoid punishment give them 3 try's and if they leave 3 times they get punished for doing that but doing it that way the timer will be a lot long (example 10 min, and yes the more they do this the longer the timer still comes) (Max punishment time would be 15 or 20 min)

[odd ibex]

See u people r nerfing the fun out of the game,ranked mode and casual(fun) mode or quick play should have different weapon and balances cause we will go back and forth.
Cloak was made when it took 2 mags to end a player now smg milliseconds time to kill with cloak and stun it’s game breaking

[midnight bison]

what's up with the completely silent frag grenades? if you're shooting a weapon they can throw one in your feet without anyone noticing

[pseudo latch]

Taking damage cancelling the charge would be such a huge change honestly.

[dawn sand]

game needs more guns

[quick coyote]

looks like matchmaking was completely ruined

All of us Dagger (#1213572237941284864) and Sword (#1213759290347753522) mains, alongside Sledgehammer and Riot Shield mains have high hopes that the next update will bring a fix to these issues and shine some light on melee weapons.

Don't disappoint us, Embark.

[warm crown]

Why tf did I just get 2 arrows down on ranked for getting knocked out first round when our third teammate was gone from the start never even loaded in only saw him in the first menu and was never in the game I went 8-4 too

[real moon]

EMBARK PLEASE FIX OUR SUFFERING

[quiet summit]

if you sit on power shift 5v5 mode and use a flamethrower and barrel stuff it with shields the flamethrower does damage while on the other side of the shield, needs to immediately be fixed

[silver oyster]

They just need the right click to be buffed so bad, I’ve had no issues with the right click, it’s such a hard weapon to use in the first place I don’t get why they don’t buff the heavy attack

[quartz oak]

I won a tournament, am not even 1 arrow away from ranking up, probably 1 win, then lose first round, and am 2 arrows from deranking??

can somene help with my mic lowering whenever i talk in voice chat?? Ive tried everything google told me too please help and it seems to only be happening in the finals and i havent had this problem in any other game.

Having a person quit on ur team should automatically mean no rank down I assumed that would be the case

[pine flower]

1. Had my first game on Skyway Stadium that had no throwables spawn. Very weird.

2. 85% of games are just mediums. Give heavy a mobility gadget to help them keep up.

3. Need a way to balance players sniping with being able to approach the objective. Just weak map design in spots and :

4. Spawns are still shit

[hollow dawn]

Hey I'm new here 👋
I'm having performance issues since the release. High CPU usage, messy frame times, stuttering,.. stuff like that.
I got all the recommended specs of the game but it's not running smoothly. (LOW settings fps capped to 60)

[quick coyote]

My reaction when Embark releases another update and all it does is buff fcar

[jagged cedar]

Friendly reminder that there was an update where dagger got an intentional nerf while fcar got a buff 😁

[shut scroll]

Please get rid of the glitch effect on death. It is awful and gives me actual headaches

[hearty birch]

there should be no reason why i get tased for like 7 seconds not be able to ADS, open door, sprint in all of that time especially when a light can just dash around me and i have to pray on non-ADS bloom and or if im using melee im just fucked straight up, make it so once you've hit a certain damage threshold you dont have the stun effect anymore.

...literally just a straight up aim trainer

let alone EVERYONE in the lobby can shoot you and you're just expected to strafe? shoot everyone with 1 weapon? bob up and down?

[olive fulcrum]

The "Totalizer" weapon charm's Elimination counter should not reset between Tournament rounds.

[odd flax]

newer anti cheat please

[quartz oak]

If a tm8 leaves the match, even near the end of the match, others should be able to leave without penalty immediately. The delay after a tm8 leaving until you’re able to leave without penalty is way too long. Even leaving with thirty seconds left can still be considered throwing the game.

[low valve]

Hey, for me disabling NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency, not only reduced high CPU usage and stutters but also reduced the amount of game crashes significantly.

[hollow hornet]

fam Idk what this new matchmaking is... but I got paired with a bronze and an unranked, while every other team in ranked had golds and silvers lmao
Of course we got smoked lol

[worthy tinsel]

Make s3 ranked only have 3 rounds, like the previous unranked tournament. That way, it encourages players to join in ranked, and reduces the number of players needed for a tournament.

[forest mason]

New Event Idea: The Floor is Lava

[sharp violet]

I feel like the biggest conceptual failing of the data reshaper - especially as a counter to APS or turrets or mines - is that you functionally have to be standing directly in front of something in order to even use it. Especially in the context of an APS on a well-defended power shift payload or cashout, that's just not feasible, especially if part of the problem is that the APS is making it too difficult to dislodge your opponents to push in to actually get close enough to data reshape an APS.

I think giving it some range would be huge in making it stick as a worthwhile gadget. Maybe implementing the same code from the Zipline placement (line of sight placement within a certain distance to the player using it) and combining it with the orbital laser code (it outlines the area and everything in it after you select the distant area to be reshaped has a small window to be moved or destroyed) could be helpful.

Part of the reason it'd need a small window is because I think it'd be WAY too strong without some kind of time delay - it would negate far too many gadgets by itself with little reactable counterplay otherwise.

[olive relic]

This game is plauged by lights cheating their ass off at ever point of the game. How about some anti cheat ... anything would be nice .. I mean fkn anything

[terse lark]

increase its range?

[vocal wasp]

Can we please get a reg TDM gamemode that’s 5v5?

[odd flax]

newer anti cheat please or region lock china!!!

[lofty laurel]

I thought they fixed ranked matchmaking… I’m in a 13 minute queue and no game..

[alpine latch]

Nerf cloak I swear I can’t see them even if they’re running around and the stun shouldn’t have only like a 3 second cooldown when its just a free kill on anyone

[solid tundra]

Newer anti-cheat or improved, more advertising(to get more players hooked)

[forest mason]

expand language options

[violet solstice]

How about the Devs give us something else to do with our VRS points? Once u reach lvl 50 & have unlocked everything VRS points are kinda stagnant & do nothing. Yes we can re roll daily's but that doesnt take much to do so how about making it so we can exchange say 3000 VRS points for 75 multi bucks??? Makes VRS worthwhile then for people who keep having it maxxed out because theres nothing to spend em on.

[flint swallow]

Now thefinals has made different custom builds of the game's main program (that is, different Discovery.exe) for different steam accounts, but the number is very limited, maybe 5 -10. After each game update, cheating software developers will collect these versions, make sigs that adapt to each version, and then update the cheating software. If the official can make this build more, or even generate a new build not only when the game is updated, then the cheating software will need to constantly adapt to these builds, which will cause the cheating software to not work well.

[sudden delta]

Why I quit The Finals - I am bad at shooters, I have terrible aim and slow reflexes. At launch, I was able to play heavy with all explosives and help my team by working the environment (take out walls, drop the cashout, set traps, etc.) and most of all suppress the enemy teams with the grenade launcher. With all the recent patches, almost none of my kit is worth using. One C4 charge? Rocket launcher is weak, Grenades do nothing, and I'm shot to hell by lights zipping around me laughing. I used to be able to charge them if they got close and take them out - no longer. So, for me, there's no reason to play anymore. I am a detriment to my team and that's all she wrote. Best of luck, Embark, I mean it - the game was great and I hope these changes work out for you.

[proud eagle]

Why I less The Finals lesser now? - As mentioned by fellow asian players, the lobbies are unplayable with the number of hackers. And this is being said with experience.

[craggy jackal]

WingedHabit#4208 and GuardianHero#6450 rage hacking right now. pls ban

[keen lily]

Another day of saying here that ranked has 0 sense. I get 12 kill game round 1, best total score and k/d ratio, then in round 2 I am also the one with the top score, yet I get -1 arrow as a result. Then I have another game 1 where I play like shit with the lowest score, get knocked out in round 2 being in between my teammates in score, and I get +1 arrow for this. What have you done to the system which was perfectly fine devs?!

can we get some free shorts without leggings underneath like whats that all about

[strong escarp]

Please do substantial rebalancing in this next update. The game cannot go on with minor balance tweaks all season. There are plain-as-day obvious outliers that need to be addressed (all new weapons having weak firepower, FCAR's massive power gap vs. other Medium ARs, etc.).

[forest mason]

New Arena Event: Earthquake, all the sudden buildings started to collapse

[daring fossil]

can we make goo and red barrels consistent? Goo will often never do what you expect it to, and lately it's been doing things that it shouldn't even do (like make a wall at an angle through a floor). They will often bounce even went thrown hard against a floor or come back straight at you even though you threw it somewhere where it should make a horizontal wall. Also red barrels are seemingly completely governed by RNG, the only time I can get a bit of consistency is if I melee it while I'm holding it, grab it quickly and then throw it at a close wall. Other times I can throw them at a target 60 feet away and sometimes it wont even make it that far, other times it will explode on impact (the expected outcome) and other times it will just bounce off for seemingly no reason. Also gas barrels still glitch out, teleport when you throw/let go of them sometimes and explode in your hands for no reasons, and lately I've noticed that meleeing them and immediately throwing them (something I do often) just doesn't register the melee hit like 75% of the time anymore.

@tiny karma that's because you lost that match, of course you're going to lose elo for losing a match. that's not your gain/loss for the whole tourny, that's for that one round

@midnight aurora Lol. Troll.
@fringe pebble Get over it. Play more.

45 minute wait in queue, restarted multiple times. It wasn’t this bad when I could turn crossplay on without getting cheaters in my games but I’m not tryna match with PC players and cheaters when I’m on the verge of ranking up.

This was an awful change.

[thorny moss]

Revert spawn points back to how they were, they are still predictable but just spawn you across the map on a cashout with no vault in it

[jade ridge]

The pc change is pretty harsh as a console player. I went from feeling really great in ranked, to getting absolutely flattened in every game. It might be time to revisit the “controllers had a statistical advantage” conundrum. I can’t keep up with the accuracy overnight

[subtle tree]

@uneven mountainI genuinely don't understand what this means.
@pseudo latch I feel like I could score higher.
@hearty birch You're the one complaining about being stunned, while stunned. 🤷‍♂️
@warm crownNope.
@keen heathYou sharing?
@ebon elbow Would change the use cases for the dash too much, besides we have gateway.
@dreamy spindle In exactly what way am I "worked up"? Have you read some of the crap in this channel?
@fickle zodiacWood 3, but I appreciate the confidence.
@patent mural Not only do you have a good name (although you misspelled Magicka), you've got some sense!
@versed bridge Sounds like that guy doesn't want to play this game anyway. Please Embonk, don't balance around him!
@dense ivy PC Master Race.
@jade ridge PC Master Race.

@warm crown Oh you're talking ranked? There is a penalty. 10 minutes and forced rank depression. It's the nature of online gaming these days. Don't forget the game is still unstable, many of your "leavers" (though not all) are crashing out and failing to make it back.

[warm crown]

I understand that a lot of people complain about anything on here but I really enjoy this game and I’m just saying how am I expected to win when my teammate left the game before we even loaded in and I loaded in with only one teammate for the entire round, I don’t think it’s fair for me to lose elo for that when I’m obviously at a huge disadvantage, tbh it wasn’t a big deal I just think it’s worth mentioning, I wasn’t expecting to get arrows up for getting knocked out first round but just no arrows would’ve made sense if u ask me and I’m sure most people would agree

[hearty birch]

average braindead light player, not surprised about your replies tbh

[grim steeple]

add jetpacks

[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 arrow 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 🙏

[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

[molten trail]

nty dont want to buff something that takes literally no skill. its baby easy to use it shouldnt be that good

[void creek]

It's crazy how this dude is still aimbotting climbing to diamond

[forest mason]

New Arena Event: The rain is acid, step outside and get dmg taken

[glad haven]

Unlike the FCAR which takes sooo much skill that my brother's wife got 18 kills in her first game? Okay

[warm crown]

Fcar doesn’t need a nerf imo it’s already pretty balanced with the 20mag they should just buff the famas maybe and next season add another similar weapon with a scope maybe a red dot but making the fcar worse would only make the class more boring and all you would see is mediums with akm or shotgun

[main knot]

This, could be very cool

[sinful coral]

so ur telling me, u want a stale FCAR meta instead of ppl having to think about their loadout a bit more and adding different weapons to the meta like AKM, FAMAS, shotty etc

[odd flax]

Fuck the damn chinese cheater

[light imp]

I just do not want to play a fps that purely rely on gun fight, just buff some gadget, please

[daring ravine]

Please add keyboard and mouse support to consoles. With the new matchmaking changes this should become a no brainer. If we have to play against those of another gameplay input , please allow us console players to have the option of also using that input.

[hidden pulsar]

I just love the game. Thats my feedback. Thanks Embark for being the most supportive, communicative and friendly studio in a looong time. I am just very happy that you know how to work with your community and how to act towards them. It is a fresh breath of air in these days. Other studios, big studios with YEARS of experience just want our money and are searching ways how to get it instead of searching ways to communicate and making people happy and satisfied with their games. You are ALL doing a great and remarkable Job at Embark! Greetings from Germany keep up the astonishing work for a great Game! GGs

[thorn fern]

HAHAHA, just be better ?

[merry creek]

When they nerfed aim assist in season one because of PC whinging, they lost loads of console players..... they have tweaked it closer to what it originally was but the player base was decimated.... now forcing console players to play against MNK is easily the most brain dead decision in the life cycle of this game..... give us AA back so we can actually compete with the hoards of cheaters!! Or actually ban cheats would be a nice improvement!!

[molten trail]

average rpg abuser 😂

[forest mason]

New Arena Event: Bullet Hell, players can constantly shoot each w/o reloading

[dense ivy]

Literally cannot find a match even with crossplay on. Idk what changed but same time last night I wasn’t having any issues.

[modest ridge]

i hate my team mates he's only afk 😡

[rich token]

I wonder if a floor is lava gamemode could work like everyone fights on a section of Monaco and gradually destroys all the houses trying to make other teams fall to the bottom

[frozen reef]

nice game

[rare rock]

for skins/charms/stickers that have different animations/effects that change how they work, can we get a little notifier that it does that on the skin? like how fortnite has the little subheader where it shows effects the item does

for example, the raygun v9s, where it has different reload animations! i think it'd be more consumer-friendly to show them the animations they get as well as the skin

[warm crown]

Not at all, the akm is already really good due to the mag size and so is the shotty when in the right hands they both beat the fcar up close, nerfing the fcar into the ground even more would mean taking it out the conversation which wouldn’t do anything for the meta but make it more stale when they could just buff the weapons that no one is using since they’re not worth using such as the famas, and that’s why I also suggested to add another weapon for medium in the future with a sight such as a red dot that will be able to match the fcar and make the game more fun, plus it will give u the option to use whichever weapon u want while keeping weapons which are already good still just as viable.

[red knot]

I lost a game 1 second after i joined...
I couldn't even play in this match, I only saw the enemies win animation...
PLEASE fix this

[hybrid flax]

Nothing special, happens in every game

[vapid brook]

fix the cheating issue stop doing meaningless events ffs

[cloud jungle]

LET US DISABLE MELEE AUTO-AIM LOCK-ON

[quick coyote]

Nerf the flamethrower

[glossy glacier]

STOP WITH ALL THESE DAMN POWER SHIFT EVENTS.

[uneven mountain]

genuinely go fuck yourself

[obsidian solar]

Yup i see so many Riot Shield users in ranked, definitely carrying the meta more then fcar

[barren veldt]

I’ve been working on getting the deep pockets achievement, im not sure but it seems power shift doesn’t contribute to it. Bank it is my go to for getting progress as its guaranteed cash if you bank and can go over the 40,000 win mark, but would be nice for the change to power shift and it still count to the achievement

[dreamy spindle]

Look at what you're doing in game-feedback and ask yourself if this is stable behaviour?

[eager mist]

A gamemode where you can actually carry around the cashout? Throw it to other teammates whatever but maybe add a longer timer?

[obtuse quest]

remove sniper, or at least remove it from power shift, there is always an unbalanced spot where one team can just sit on it and i dont feel like running across the map just to kill one dumb light player and camp that spot so he doesnt annoy other teammates

[frosty obsidian]

karma for playing in german

[red knot]

dude... that makes no sense

[dense ivy]

I finally got a game after more than an hour even with crossplay on! Aaaand there was a cheater on two of the teams. So I waited over an hour and a half to lose points.

Whatever was done with matchmaking definitely made it worse, not better.

[merry creek]

It's completely killed the game for me on xbox... I'm plat 3 and every game has a cheater in it.... I'm so sick and tired of it! Was bad enough with just console cheats, now with PC included it's a joke

[crystal umbra]

Forget buying cosmetics.

I'll pay you personally to turn on your anti-cheat.

We need kill cams and some way to review Gameplay.

You guys have a long way to go.

The game is fun but it's low on features. The next update and feature drops will be VERY important for player retention...

[slim sun]

creator mode ?

[fast cave]

The Dematerializer ability should be able to interact with goo. - Hack the planet LUL

- Fixed an issue where melee swings would not play after a charge and slam

Also swinging the hammer after putting down the mesh shield does not show usually, at least from users perspective - is that fixed aswell?```

"Gradual rollout of Secureboot enforcement for Win 11 to prevent cheats from running"

My windows installation (like 4 years ago) didn't had secure boot enabled for some stuff about wsl and Linux. Should I format or will I be able to play as normal?

[queen cloud]

Gradual rollout of Secureboot enforcement for Win 11 to prevent cheats from running

This is such a nice change... But people can still run win10 and load "drivers"

[obtuse viper]

bruh i got cooldown after update, wasn't even in a game

[hoary creek]

yo the new intro cinematic is cool af, i'm loving the lore embark

[void creek]

bro has 257 hours and is hard cheating still not banned somehow

Can we get kbnm support for console especially if console is in pc lobbies now

[finite schooner]

I hated the win 1 tournament contract, spent ages grinding for it, got it, and now they changed it haha. I hope if the contract comes back at a later challenge we keep the unlock 😭

[warm marsh]

yea the game is dead again reskins, and not unique skins no balancing changes whats so ever maybe i really need to look for another game

[cloud jungle]

LET US DISABLE MELEE AUTO-AIM LOCK-ON

AND EQUIP THE SAME SLOT WE HAVE EQUIPPED WHEN CARRYING ITEMS TO DROP IT (essentially a toggle to revert the previous change)

[upbeat urchin]

thanks Embark, now there is a cheater epidemic on console lobbies too haha, I guess I'll disable crossplay 🙂 just had 2 or 3 aimbotters in the same game of Powershift mode, this community challenge is gonna be awesome

[timber hazel]

They give riot shield new skin and then nerf it in the same patch. :<. Riot shield no longer prevent mine damage like bruh. It’s already a niche weapon as it is. And yeah I agree, this season there’s no balance change mid season at all. Season 1 barely has any to begin with due to how inconsequential they are but now this season is just non. And I’m a bit sad they haven’t fix the cheater epidemic.

[feral bay]

Still no added new contestant slots. I guess Embark doesn’t need my money 🤷‍♂️💸 That Vaiiya guard looks sick

[glass pendant]

I wish we can play solo bank it with less than 6 players

[hard badger]

thanks for the good update and nice quality of life changes but can we maybe get a new gamemode please??? It would be so nice because game is getting stale again. And with new I mean a gamemode we never has seen in this game (like tdm or something else)

[dim path]

Make ranked one round shorter.
Benefits-
Half the players needed to start a tournament so quicker queue times.
Half the players means more chance of balanced teams and stops the need for a brand new gold having to face diamond players.
Can remove the stupid pc change you just made. So ps and Xbox friends aren’t forced to play PC cheats.

[red knot]

I'm playing since the closed beta and 100% Agree with you.
if i would get money for all the times people obviously used a 3rd party software for an advantage, then i would be a millionaire.

[whole arrow]

use riot anti cheat. thx

[glad haven]

Can we PLEASE have an option to change our character's voice? Having a voice tied to a skin is so stupid, and I know some people really hate the bitcrush effect on some of the skins. I now have a female voice as a male character. Just give us the option. Hell you can even sell new voices as a cosmetic.

[vapid dagger]

This patch is sooo useless, nothing of this address any of the current games problems

[left lava]

Yeah go ahead leave the discord while u at it as well😌

[wary storm]

they just patched a bunch of exploits, id say thats a good patch. will it be all of them? nope. but its good hear

[cosmic island]

idk is this real, or people just have skill issues? I have 244h now in the finals and i met about just 10 cheaters, I play Plat btw. And I cant get it when people spread they keep meeting cheaters in their every second game. idk which is more silly, real problem with cheaters and im just lucky dont seeing them or whining community with just bad skills
I have also seen comments that a match in ranked is being searched for a long time, and this also not my problem cuz its always about <1 min for me
As a result, sometimes it seems to me that this is just some kind of conspiracy and there are really no described problems with the game (excluding other problems ofc, like when they add goth set already💀 )
upd: region EU

[pallid harbor]

Please add the option to disable TAA anti-aliasing, the game is very blurry and has a lot of ghosting. FSR 3 support would be nice too.

[quick dew]

why the fuck is riot shield being nerfed

Feel like there should be a text chat for party/in game 🙂

[solemn linden]

Imma start spamming this everywhere to raise awareness of this bug. Major issue that hasnt been adressed for many weeks now #1213759290347753522 message

[proven ibex]

Patch notes on security are promising enough which may resolve main issues we're having.. mainly anti cheat and cheaters

[acoustic harbor]

give it 1 hour the ragehackers will be here, they are here already nvm LMAO

[earnest sierra]

secureboot doesn't do anything with security

news to everyone the only thing secureboot does is check the signature of the bootloader not even the damn kernel

malware and cheats or anything else already have full access to everything they don't change anything in the bootloader

requiring TPM is more reasonable and much secure but SB doesn't change anything

the only thing that would work against hackers is a goddamn anticheat that embark makes whether it's a kernel level like vanguard or evem if they use the damn vanguard that would be the end of hackers but no matter what shit they do the hackers will remain in this game because vanguard or any similar anticheat makes it nearly impossible to cheat on software level and hackers will have to spend some bucks and be nerds and know a lot of assembly coding and shit like that to cheat to damn hardware level which is pricy time consuming and most likely not worth it

other than vanguard or custom anti cheat by embark hackers will have the most fun in this game

[zenith elbow]

Could we get the store update here on discord, maybe with the video showcasing new stuff ? Thanks 🙂

[outer kindle]

Heavy flamethrow is so boosted I think ... they are dominating on every map after update

[halcyon belfry]

Making challenges easier is really weak. The whole point is it's a challenger circuit, not a daily. It should be difficult and winning a tournament isn't even that hard. They should be a grind, they last for a week. I can do "Deal 750 fire damage" in a single game. Focusing on harder, longer challenges would be much more rewarding for weekly's, even if it was "Deal 10,000 fire damage". At least it's an actual challenge.

[humble temple]

i think(i hope) they will add it to later circuits.

[small plover]

It wouldn't have been so bad to change the challenges if they hadn't been there for two weeks. It's unfair for people who already did the challenges to change the requirements retroactively.

What incentives do players have to grind a circuit when now there's precedent that it will become easier later on?

[wheat trench]

We need kbmm support on console ! Makes no sense to me why it still hasn’t been implemented but they have added pc lobbies to console

[gentle lichen]

Please make it so you don’t need 6 people to start a custom,

[steel marlin]

a "preview item(s)" option in the style tab would be cool so you can easily mix and match multiple items you dont have yet with items you do own to see what fits and what doesnt together

[unreal mulch]

Ur plat that explains it, cheaters are rampant in diamond/top 500 lobbies

[hollow moat]

It was there on Xbox but was removed

[sick forum]

i’m stoked that they changed the tournament challenge requirement but it still says win 1 tournament for me

[icy violet]

@wheat fractal HOW TO CHANGE INGAME NAME

[silver forge]

Bruh people really don't know how to Google shit 😭

[round goblet]

Damn I thought changing names in Embark Site is common sense day1 since the game launched

[pure ore]

Delete APS. That's it, that's the change. In no way this braindead crutch should remain in the game

[wise jolt]

W update 2.4.0 awesome QOL changes

[finite schooner]

Agreed. I believe those that completed it before the change should be rewarded, perhaps with an auto-unlock if tournament win comes back as a challenge down the line in the more difficult circuits.

[strong vessel]

Always cool to see a bunch of bug fixes and QoL changes! The projectile change is very welcome as well. I would still like to have the ability to turn off melee aim assist and auto ladder climb in the future.

The riot shield still has some bugs, such as throwing knives getting stuck on screen, and the pyro grenade getting stuck on the shield dealing full damage. Someone has been using the pyro as a tech, so i dont think it should be removed fully, but somehow reducing the visual effects and damage you take from that interaction would be welcome.

@small plover @finite schooner Its up to the devs if they decide that challenge requirements are too strict. If its a pain point for the majority of players (casuals), then it makes sense to make it easier, especially for cosmetics which are meant to be free as a reward for playing during the season. You don't want to force the casual playerbase to play ranked either, people complain about 'noobs' enough as is.

[quick coyote]

What was in the update

Why so much focus on skins?? Make a new map Every 1-3 weeks

[jagged mortar]

new bundle and new skins for all the new season 2 weapons

[queen cloud]

i would be nice to have a lobby frame limiter. To save on power bill and not heat up the room while waiting for team mates.

[tame crag]

A valid point, but I also think that the “win a tournament” challenge also was not a good challenge, as yes it’s difficult but not necessarily because of anything you can change. For those who don’t have a team to play with and solo queue, the challenge was up to rng

@analog anchor yeah I see that, i dont think that challenge needed changing and there wasn’t actually much verbal feedback I heard. I think they may have decided that on their own.

[frank sluice]

Would be awesome if Ranked was just 1 round and then a final round with the 2 top teams against eachother as then only 16 players would be needed for each match so it could be far more skilled based and not have gold players versing a full team of diamonds and every other team being platinum... As having to find 48 players to begin a match in a dying game with a active player base on steam that dipped as low as 9700 ish today. I can't even play ranked because in oceania there aren't enough players to even ever get a ranked game.... Particularly because uhhh you need 48 players to start one!

[warm crown]

I think adding capture the flag as a 6v6 game mode in the future could be cool

[glossy glacier]

[upper cliff]

Guys, what is UP with the servers at the moment!? We've updated our games and have been in the queue for 15 minutes, nearly 2 times in a row now?!
Are they down or what's going on?? Can't play ranked at all tbh. It's frustrating waiting THIS LONG just to get into a game.

[whole arrow]

u are from the EU so some problems don't apply to u. U have to understand that America has Brazil and Asia has China the 2 factories mass producing hackers and I say this as a chinese myself, thankfully not from china 😳 I met 2 hackers this morning in just 1 game. They were not even from the same team 😄 , just a battle of which aimbot stronger💪

[mortal nova]

Chill @upper cliff The game literally just got updated. People may have not updated the game. Especially with timezone shenanigans

[nimble token]

I cant find the ozpuze body paint after unlocking it, am I missing something? It says it's unlocked

[thick sorrel]

I'm missing some balance changes with 2.4.0

[smoky gust]

I personally think that (at least on this small, one sided scale) rng should not be a factor, even if small

If stun gun was actually overpowered
I'm not saying its overpowered
It just feels very bad when you die to someone you swear you could have killed, had you been allowed to express your skill

it should place the stunned player into crouch
that certainly would help, not a bad idea

crouching while not moving
see, that's where my issue is
as long as some people don't know that moving can impact performance during a stun, there will be complaints
we can make as many changes as we want
if someone doesn't know about tech like this, it is as if it didn't exist

I think we should protect the player from themselves and disable movement during a stun

[charred ivy]

You are possibly making up something in this one. I personally soloq only, currently Diamond 3 or so, ever since mid-plat cheaters in tournaments are more frequent. Was the same last season as well. Not all of them are super blatant spinning around and rage-cheating, but there are lots of people who are cheating, and some that are trying to hide it, and i'd not say "yes for sure a cheater" to them. But 10? That is like a bad night of tournaments, not 244h of it.

[cosmic island]

70% of my game time is quick modes, not ranked, maybe thats the point

[violet rover]

i meet more than 10 rage cheaters in a week in d2 and i speak about only headshot through shields

[heavy crow]

True

[hidden thicket]

The whole ranked system is a joke. I get through the first 3 rounds easily. Then in the finals i go against the 1 good team in the game, which is usually either a top 500 stack or cheaters (or both). Then i lose the finals. So i got to the top 2 teams out of 16, and then i go down?! The best part of an hour of my life wasted. Also, i have a friend who won every round including the final round, and got demoted from d4 to p1. How does that work?

[dreamy ledge]

Explain alternate ways to counter projectiles like RPG, Grenade launchers, grenades etc then.

It would be braindead to not have a counter to that stuff at all. A literal losing situation with no sight of hope

[pure ore]

positioning.

[quick coyote]

Okay I'm sorry for the ping @pearl kiln but what the hell was that update... What's left of Dagger mains have been waiting for over 5 months now, for a single change since it got silently nerfed on release. It didn't get reverted/buffed, it didn't get fixed, all melee weapons still suffer from terrible hit registration, we didn't get a single balance change in the last update (FCAR... Hello?). All we got was a Riot Shield nerf, like that thing is already worse than Dagger. How did it get nerfed before FCAR?? I don't even need to mention the three overpriced and recycled skins on the store.

All WE are asking for is a bit of communication on the state of melee weapons, the dagger, the riot shield, hit registration, the backstab hit registration, melee aim assist. Anything. It's been months and we received no comments from you. All we got was acknowledgment from CMs, two weeks later, two updates later; And we received absolutely nothing but a Riot Shield nerf...?

[dim tartan]

HItreg issue is true also for throwing knives

[deft geode]

Big thank you for the devs for changing the "1 tournament win" to a different challenge.

The "750" burn damage is pretty easy to complete but its better than no change.

[slow zenith]

hey embark i think you forgot the balance patch part of this patch, hopefully that can be resolved soon

[real moon]

DEVS PLEASE SAVE US FIX YOUR FRICKING GAME

[river plover]

We have been in agony for too long
Save us

[obtuse tundra]

When the update came out, my heart sank for a moment from the phrase “solo bank it”, but it turned out that 5 more people are needed for the "solo" mode... well, no quick completion for “deep pockets”)) Someone already checked, are they fixed money from "powershift" for an achievement?

[keen quiver]

Add Auto respawn? No need press the button everytime thx

[quick coyote]

that was not a nerf, it was clearly a bug since ever. its baffling how you and others thought shielded players not triggering mines were a intended feature.

[pastel turret]

has the FCAR dmg dropp-off not been nerfed just recently? Light is already causing a lot of frustration within the community, especially in lower skill brackets, I honestly can't see how catering to an egoistic playstyle like meele light would improve the situation in any way. There is plenty of you already in high plat / dia, if you really struggle, maybe it's you.

[lucid bay]

respawn can be strategic when it gets to ranked, not always good to just respawn when it's on cooldown

[rough vessel]

it was not "clearly" a bug and people thought it was just a cool feature of the riot shield and riot shield is already arguably the worst weapon in the game

[crystal fern]

That would be very bad imo. Sometimes (most of the times) you don't want to auto respawn and use a token. It's for the most part better to wait for your teammates to revive you instead of wasting a token.

[echo viper]

the fcar is broken to the point that it basically invalidates every other M primary

[civic maple]

i know its silly but id really like a fist option for all three classes, even if its just jabs lol

[versed bridge]

Hey, at least let us play the game okay?
Our hits are literally not registering right now and haven't been for months

We get shadow changes to our weapons without any communication

[stable lagoon]

Every class has 1 or 2 ace gears that make them strong in their own ways:

Heavy: RPG, Dome
Medium: Defib, Jump Pad
Light: Stun Gun, Portal

Nerfing them is nerfing the whole archetype

[torpid void]

Anyone else having trouble queuing for ranked?

[wise jolt]

preach

[worn ravine]

the glitched gun skins are the worst
so lazy

[jagged mortar]

yeah and they cost 800 and don't even have a gun charm or sticker

[small plover]

It's not that I believe the challenge was easy or that casuals should be gatekept, but that it's unfair to lower the entry bar 2 weeks after the challenge has been live and others have already completed it. It leaves a sour taste in the mouth of those who grinded those challenges and did them "the hard way".

This change has retroactively tainted my and my team's perspective, because now we feel like we wasted our time doing them when we could've just waited for it to become substantially easier. The grind was not enjoyable enough, and now the victory feels pointless, too.

Just like @finite schooner said, it would be nice if at least this challenge was saved and automatically completed later on for those that finished it.

[maiden epoch]

Go back to steam names, this is trash. I want funny names.

[finite schooner]

100%. I don't disagree that it's difficult, and when games neglect casual players they usually go downhill (I'm probably more weighted towards casual myself). It's moreso personally feeling like those that have already grinded for it to have it changed to something easier have wasted time. I did not enjoy the extra sweatiness of needing to win one just for the challenge!

[vestal coral]

but do you want to take away all these shitty weapons from the noob toxic player? such as: CL-40, flamethrower and gadgets like the guard turret. All stuff without skill.

[worn sigil]

Contracts

• Replaced "Win 1 Tournament" with "Deal 750 Fire Damage to Opponents" in Circuit 1, Stage 3
• Reduced "Deal 5000 damage with grenades" to 2500 in Circuit 1, Stage 1
• Reduced "Get 11 kills in one round" to 6 in Circuit 1, Stage 4

These are challenges that not everyone can do and should have been kept in the game because the reward at the end is a special ink which could have been rare in seasons going forward.. now everyone's gonna have it..

If people can't win a tourney which is the point of the game, "tough luck" right? And it's not like they have the whole season to do it!

Makes everyone who grinded feel it was a waste of time and effort!

[red knot]

tbh i haven't seen any for a while (and i'm happy about that) but there was a time where i ONLY saw Cheaters. i only had a dude who REALLY Hacked once, he speeded up his firing rate by a LOT

[blazing arch]

season 2 spawns are dumb af, devs smoking some premium shit

[quick coyote]

I think you completely missed the point where melee weapons literally don't function most of the time. Yeah, most of us are at Plat - Diamond, and that's a good way to tell we put enough hours into the game to tell when things Don't function. You could've literally checked the forums I linked in my first message and seen what I mean, but it seemed like your first instinct was to ramble non sense: " But FCAR got "nerfed", Light is selfish, skill issue"

If you really think nerfing FCAR's effective range is an actual nerf to what makes the weapon powerful, then I'm certain you never played a ranked match in your life. FCAR is still extremely overpowered and is practically a must pick. It has close to 0 recoil, great sight, high damage, good firerate and there's no reason to not pick.

If you find melee weapons frustrating, especially Light; It's definitely you. You let the squishiest, weakest class get in melee range and kill you. Can't say much other than skill issue on your end.
You can be "egoistic" as any class, with any weapon. Seems to me like you just don't like getting outplayed by Lights as Medium or Heavy.

I honestly can't see how catering to players like you who want effortless shit like FCAR to dominate will help the game in any way.

[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
(I can't believe Fcar still has yet to be nerfed in a healthy way for the game)

[quick coyote]

#patch-notes THANK YOU EMBARK!!!V!!!!!

[north magnet]

PLEASE! custom SAFE ZONES for HUD
https://ibb.co/gm8nTW7

[smoky gust]

everyone is already able to deploy this tech
its just that not everyone knows about it

this change exclusively helps "bad" players with less knowledge about the game that would (and currently are) constantly complaining because they simply don't know this tech yet
its only a nerf when fighting against these kinds of players, because it makes the counterplay more accessible

I don't think we should keep something that makes the game even harder for already "bad" players specifically

[rough vessel]

there's so many people who can't even queue into tournaments what do you want them to do? play on 100 ping servers and somehow win a whole tourny? and what's the point of having weekly quests if not everyone can do them that's just not what they want

[tranquil granite]

Has there been talk about us needing an option to separately change the sensitivity for higher zoom levels on Gyro aim?
Right now we have to change the ads sensitivity every time you switch to or from using a sniper.

[brave reef]

⚠Visual glitch with reflections ⚠
Only the players viewport is visible, meaning thatin reflections you can't see your body, only your hands and the weapon, but you can see the reloads. Haven't tested if you can see other players but you can see the bots in the practice range, probably should be fixed.
Note you can see a scuffed projection of your entire player if you emote, so it is a viewport issue that is kinda annoying

[toxic shadow]

no balance changes when theyre desperately needed, do yall want the game to die?

[stable lagoon]

Catering to bad players is a surefire way to get your game killed

[vestal coral]

remove this bullshit that traps the goo inside.

[proper plank]

Keep getting stuck in the goo

[quartz cedar]

[keen lily]

[quick coyote]

No reason for the game to run max FPS in main menu.

[glad haven]

The riot shield It's too good. There are six players using it, instead of the usual three. Ignore the fact that 99% of M use the FCAR though, it's the Riot Shield that's the real problem.

[crystal storm]

consider fixing the bug where you cant shoot or use utility untill you respawn:)

[novel mauve]

Private matches should allow you to play solo, reason being that playing solo private matches allows you to traverse the maps and study them (I.e see what gadgets would work better than others, see which cash outs are better to go to, ect...)

[vapid crystal]

currently difficult, since the private matches (and also the parctice and tutorial, mind you!) are server-side and not client-side.

[river plover]

Yea man, actually insane, I just saw a riot shield in my match and it just scarred me
I think they went 2 kills, 20 deaths.

I only want to see FCARs in my matches man I dont want people to use any other weapon than FCAR :(((

[upper saddle]

Level 8 through 10 skins on gear?

8- 144k XP to unlock, black and white checker pattern.
9- 162k XP to unlock, Reflective bronze plate.
10- 162k XP to unlock, Triangle Twinkle but red instead of purple and gold instead of blue.

[strong vessel]

I dont think higher level skins should be added. Most people would only be able to get 1 or 2, instead of encouraging people to try out different stuff.

[smoky gust]

Its not catering to bad players, its making the game more accessible for them

Its like having a tutorial
Sure, players would eventually figure out how to start a cashout, or that you can steal it
But so that they aren't screwed over until they figure that out, we teach them

Its the same with stun tech
Players eventually know what to do
But it sucks until they figure it out

Your point is comparable to complaining about the idea of a tutorial
It would make the game more accessible
Adding it has no directly negative consequences for you

And yet you complain
A player that doesn't know how to play the game is easier to beat, thus adding a tutorial leads to less wins for you
Unless you're already at the point where people already apply this tech on a regular basis, then it changes literally nothing for you, leaving me questioning why you would even be against it in the first place

[atomic shore]

Make task in next circuits harder! After todays task upd i understand and disagree in one. I mean new players, when ending rokiee circuit where tasks is like play the game and next you need to win a tournament, but this is quite necessary to keep players duh. Those tasks made for whole season and we getting them every week so there is no need to change them to some easy one that can be done in 1-2 matches, people would quit after doing alst circuit just bcz they done battle pass in 20 days. I knew it sounds more like stupid cuz we aint even know what task would be, but knowing that there is some crying skill issue players that can use all their brain power to make loadouts that would help do tasks easier and just reporting game for "et es so hord i no no can do that task fix these" can affect on future tasks and would make players loss at the end of the season just bcz there nothing to play for(exept diamond rank but all players, which want it, would get it). I love this game so please, make tasks harder(not like "win 10 games in bank it")

[worn sigil]

You have the whole season not just one week, plus that just means they gotta fix the servers not the challenges, why add skins like skill issue when the challenges are basic.

[rough vessel]

I'm not about to spend 50 hours playing on 100+ ping servers just to have a chance of winning a single tourny and it's not about servers there just aren't enough players

[round goblet]

Win 1 tourney in asia pre-patch sounds like putting a bronze player (you) in a diamond lobby in fair terms (because of how good they blatant cheat) lmao. It's borderline unplayable past plat 4 last patches and winning SoloQ in high rank is a great burden alr even just 1. Just put a Vr cost to reroll weekly challenges or they get to choose on the rotating missions and the problem is solved for most people.

[normal ferry]

A server browser for private matches and being able to customize settings would be cool

[flat cipher]

How does this make sense? The skins will always be there to get for people who want them. You want to limit cosmetics because some people will only choose two???

[daring notch]

so, there is a bug when you hold something it turns into your shield.

[echo panther]

buf dagger (Day 6)

[molten crater]

Just had my first match as a plat 3 player. My teammates were gold 4 and plat 4. We were matched up against a diamond 2 team in the last round. How does that make any sense? All of the other teams were gold-plat and were absolutely crushed by the diamonds.

[nocturne flare]

Because they need to find 48 players for each tournament and there's not a lot of people playing this game anymore

[celest forum]

Make in game challenges a CHALLENGE. Such as "winning one tournament".
Changing this was pretty lousy.
I think having free to play rewards are fine and adding extra challenges that are CHALLENGING is good for the game.

[pastel turret]

20k concurrent players on steam alone is not exactly "not alot" lol

[storm lion]

Game is not the best ATM rank points is not werking i even got 2 < Down when i got to round 3 and i only go up 1> when i win

[obsidian solar]

The shield is not that strong, it's just the skin that looks good, give it 2 days and everything will be back to normal, also in ranked not a single trace of shield
Love the idea @upper saddle they would look so good ngl

[glad haven]

(It was a joke bro the shield is trash)

[odd ibex]

💀I tried playing power shift the game is full of snipers,jumping medium grenade launcher and flamethrower heavy it’s an awful experience.

In quick cash it’s Lewis and f scar that still beams every player all the time and m11 needs hipfire and recoil nerf.

The cloak has got a visual buff cause I really can’t see it and in Reddit everyone agrees,remember cloak was made when it took 2 mags to get a player now cloak and smg milliseconds melt players out of no where!

Listen! U can’t have season1 weapons with season 2 balance it doesn’t work,it’s a mess and u r losing player look at the numbers,those dumb new weapons won’t fix ur game with that ks23 being an inferior revolver and famas being mediocre as shit.

Stop trying to make this game having such a fast time to kill competitive esport call of duty knock off that u can’t make use of the environment like it was so fun post launch now the fun stuff got nerfed out of the game.

[devout junco]

I WNAT CHAOS TONS OF CHAOS
the game is neat BUT I KEEP SEEING AND USING THE EXACTED SAME GADGETS. NO SMOKES, AND NO GOO GERNADES CUS THEY SUCK a little. I WANT THE SMOKE GERNADE TO COAT THE ENTIRE WORLD IN A DEEP DARKNESS. I WANT TO EXPERIMENT. TO SEE HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT COMBOS FORM TOGETHER AND CREATE A KIND OF AWESOME CHAOS. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I USED SMOKE AND THREW FIRE EVERYWHERE. (actually i might try that) BUT THERES ALWAYS A SINGULAR ITEM THAT HAS TO BE IN YOUR INVENTORY AT ALL TIMES YOU CAN'T EVEN TRY ANYTHING ELSE WITH LIGHT BEFORE YOU GET SMOKED BY LITLY EVERYONE ELSE

examples
Mediam AND DEFIBS ALWAYS unless your team sucks then you don't need it
Medumin And THE HEALING BEAM
The jump pads and the zipline too IT'S ALL TOO GOOD WHILST THE SMOKE AND GOO GERNADS DO ALMOST NOTHING AGHAGHA

THE LIGHT Well actually they pretty good right now... EXCEPT FOR THE HEALTH OH MY GOODNESS I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. YOU CAN GET SMOKED IN LIKE TWO SECONDS BY A HEAVY USING ALL THE SHIELDS MANKIND HAS TO OFFER. UNLESS YOUR A SNIPER OR YOUR A GOD AT THE GAME. LIGHT CAN ONLY PICK OFF MOSQUITOES. TELL ME OKAY THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN AN ALL LIGHT TEAM AND AN ALL HEAVY TEAM. it's not good at all I GO INSANE EVERY TIME I SEE LIKE THREE OR MORE LIGHTS IN A POWERSHIFT GAME. THEY ARE THAT BAD ONG.

[muted raptor]

For the love of God show throwing knives some love. It's frustrating seeing TK be the only weapon in the entire game with lvl 6 instead of lvl 7 in the overview, and then every other weapon in the game (new ones included) can get skin after skin in the store. I'm all for "catching the new items up" in terms of skins, but when I see 2 sledgehammer skins get brought out at the same time, makes me wonder. I know not everyone uses throwing knives, but you can't disregard a weapon you put in the game after giving it 1 really good skin.

[terse oxide]

I love seeing people fuming at the tournament change. Requiring you to play ranked mode to get a reward not related to ranked mode was a poor design choice and Embark realized that.

If you're that insecure that your skin isn't "special" anymore, just go flex your diamond AK.

[bold mango]

The aps turret shouldn't literally be able to infinitely counter 3 entire weapons, especially the throwing knives of all things. Automatic weapons are already the meta, punishing a crowd control/gadget clearing weapon, with a gadget that is easy to spam on medium teams, especially on power struggle, is absurd

[foggy orbit]

[untold pendant]

having the number of people queueing for a certian game mode would be really helpful, because some gamemodes are more popular than other in specific parts of the day but i wont know

very first world problems but put it on the drawing board for later

[worn sigil]

My problem is the ink at the end which is the best reward, those types of items should be RARE at the end of a season meaning winning a tournament challenge should have stayed in.

100+ ping in a game is unfortunately a game issue and embarks problem, not the problem that differentiates good players from bad, I've won tourneys in ranked on 100+ ping, it's hard but still achievable and you just need to do it once in the whole season! Continue to use meta loadouts and it's done. Not enough players means that the people who stay should be experienced enough to win one tourney in the first place.

The weekly challenges have 5/7 challenges to complete for the wearable items aka you don't need to complete the tourney to get them.. I couldn't care less about those in particular but the INK for completing all 28 I do care about..
27/28 are too ez to even talk about.. the one challenge that differentiates good and bad players is win a tourney..
Furthermore the challenge includes win a tourney aka the unranked mode which they removed for no reason is included, so again it's embark ruining themselves as unranked tourney was easy to win regardless of ping..

So simply put my feedback is: they just need to add back the unranked tourney mode that was 3 rounds and let it count towards the challenge and fix ping issue!

[sinful gazelle]

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

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

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

[quasi jasper]

Embark took an L when the challenges got nerfed. Feels like I wasted my time grinding for an already mid cosmetic for nothing. Should have just kept unranked tourney, or even better start utilizing challenges that require a high support or objective score to facilitate playing the objective, instead of just a bunch of random damage challenges.

Also we shouldn’t be penalized for leaving a tourney if we’ve already tried to reconnect multiple times.

[frosty obsidian]

mate, it was one tournament u had to win you will be fine holy shit

[modern finch]

Implement a button that says RECONNECT for the players wanting to play after the game crashes 🤡 instead you give us penaltys for leaving ... that sucks

[queen holly]

why are private matches only playable with 6 or more players... theyre private, what does it matter, let us play with less people

[quick coyote]

I agree!

[lament talon]

Killcam + replay pls and a big update and maybe a marketing campaign.

[narrow owl]

My AK is in its feelings about being left out of store updates.

[quasi jasper]

Okay, if it’s “just one tournament” than why did everybody complain for the challenge to be changed? Based on your response I’m guessing you couldn’t complete it, huh mate? lol

[normal locust]

when change rank system? bring old back or something new better? its unplayable against cheater at finals and still gain lose point lol

[ancient cloud]

add solo game mode
pretty please

[dusk forge]

quite boring when season still takes 63 days but battlepass maxed out, progression maxed out, no contracts left...xp became worthless cause they dont give anything anymore. Awesome i can now track contracts which are useless as said...big up FAT FEATURE. FUCK MATCHMAKING PROBLEMS AND BROKEN RANKED PROGRESSION! GOOD JOB

[strong vessel]

@flat cipher The cumulative cost of those 'higher level skins' would be so big, that they would be unattainable to the vast majority of the players. If skins are available as challenges (circuits, events) or battle pass, the chance that the person who likes a skin actually gets it is much higher. Heck, even paid skins sould be better if bundle items could be bought separately.

[balmy compass]

Have you maybe considered that those problems are a bit more complex than just flipping a switch? Nah. Just start wailing like a baby and assume all Embark employees are just lounging around laughing at messages like yours in feedback channel 😄

[vocal ferry]

Glitch where you cant queue with your friends where they cant accept party invite needs fixing

[worn sigil]

@vocal ferry are you sure that's a glitch? I had an issue with queueing with PC player friends when I'm on PS5 but it's because cross-play was turned off before accepting invites. Have they checked their settings?

[balmy compass]

Damn this guy just pulling stuff out of thin air.
If you are getting beamed = skill issue. Stop being in a position where you are getting beamed if you can't aim back.
Cloak has not had any changes to it, no matter how much you die to it and try to justify it being buffed and that being the reason. You are most likely not even paying attention to what classes are in the match or on the team you are going against so you run solo and get bodied by lights over and over.
No damage numbers has been adjusted to light weapons. It's still the same TTK.
Just because you think the new weapons are dumb doesn't mean everyone does. That is why there are many weapons in any game dude. They aren't trying to "save the game" by adding weapons. Just improve it and add variety.
If you aren't making use of the environment dno what game you are playing. That is half the game in any match I'm playing and all of the new gadgets make excellent use of the environment.

[vestal coral]

[copper hemlock]

Is there clarity on how the rank system awards "progress"

It seems entirely different than last season, I track on a data puller all of my ranked games and figured out pretty easily how it worked last season, and it appears to be an almost completely different system this season for what it calls "good" and "bad" games

[dusk forge]

Ranked progression bullshit, Matchmaking huge bullshit. Thx for not caring and a heartly fu

[wicked fossil]

Use lfg engines to find no brain dead...

[daring fossil]

thankful that frag grenades no longer bounce of stupid team mates backs and explode in my face, I just hope this doesn't cause more issues than it fixed. Also month 5 of asking for the Goth Girl skin, I don't understand why were only getting 1 skin bundle in the store a week, people have been asking repeatedly for this bundle and it's like you're purposely withholding it to troll us.

@dusk forge ranked progression works fine, most people are just stupid and don't understand how it works, perhaps you're one of them. The only fix for the terrible match making in ranked is not playing ranked. It's not necessarily embarks fault that only a couple hundred people are playing ranked at any given time. The only fix would be to increase queue times and people are already pissed off that it takes 10 minutes sometimes.
