[cinder ridge]

ive only played steam players but my cross play is on is there a reason for that. also i havent seen an aimbotter yet even in all plat/dia lobbies only recoil mitigators. i know a few other games where most the cheats get introduced through windows and spread from windows pc players to xbox players. idk just a thought

[rose surge]

Undo the cloak nerf fr.

[peak urchin]

aimbot is all around the rank game

[novel mauve]

man its been so long since I played the finals 😭 (its been a week)

[dreamy mirage]

I tried to escape from Asia server, no point I had a hacker in NA too

[loud frigate]

Embark please fix Light, the weapons need to buff, specially 93R and Throwing Knives, but all of them could use it, we need this to balance Light and make light great again, posting everyday until it’s the light of day

[random topaz]

Server lock asians

[fickle bison]

Please remove the sniper rifle from Power Shift. It's such a fun vacuum.

[unreal widget]

it is crazy to me how i lose rank points because a guy trolled my game and left 3 mins in

[upper citrus]

I don’t get why everyone just assumes it would be a good idea to do anything about this.

If the ranked system stopped you from losing fame when a teammate left you could just hop on with a group of 3 and rotate whoever leaves if you’re about to lose and grind fame points easily with no risk.

You will encounter people who throw when you solo queue but it will be far from most of your games. More often than not, your game will be fair and your rank will balance out to indicate your skill level

[pseudo breach]

So not being able to use healing beam, which is a bug since beta, which was 20+ updates ago, is just never going to get fixed?

And can we please get vote kick for AFK players in casual.

[left pewter]

Decreased health regen delay on light would be incredible!!!

[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

[thick sorrel]

Confirmed. Besides Fcar RPM nerf instead
@somber patrol he said these changes were bad. And he's right. Just nerf Fcar rpm and people would pick other M weapons.

[fair shadow]

Dashboard Smirk (Crash Dummy Skin) allows for body paint, but not on the face for some reason.

[magic cobalt]

Im lvl 97 on battlepass why i didnt get the skin

[normal scroll]

Make a team death match where it’s a 5v5. You have to get 50 kills to win and it takes place on a small part of the maps. This could possibly bring more people who just want to play casually so they can learn and improve. So they don’t quit.

[abstract harbor]

Would love to see ANY sort of response from the developer on the rampant cheating.

[somber patrol]

bro really asks for a revolver nerf 💀

[lapis solar]

I hv the Bugg that I get only 4-6 enemies in the whole Lobby and after the game finished I get punished for leaving the game altought I didnt leave the game

[novel zephyr]

I really to want to enjoy Powershift, it's my favorite game mode. But the snipers are killing it and ruining the experience, every single map there's at least 3-4 snipers, even being a heavy with a shield doesn't help much. I'll play a game, see a bunch of snipers, close game.

[drifting ravine]

Please bring back casual tournament

[bleak nexus]

The game genuinely needs a text messaging system. It doesnt have to be a team/lobby chat or anything, but at least let us PM people on our friends lists, so we can say like "wanna play after your game?"

[main knot]

Console player stopped playing because of crossplay ass

[peak urchin]

I go to 2nd round and meet with aimbot from 2 teams that also team up together, of course their name are Chinese name, so please game dev, if they wanna use aimbot and want rank that much create their own China server and make them play there, not with anyone else.

[broken lake]

I entirely agree with this, except maybe the glitch effect on the baton.

every other change I 100% support.

[worn sigil]

Definitely most of my solo games wdym?

I had 6 games in a row where someone died twice, (2nd time after I defib and fully heal) then quit.

It will not balance out based upon skill lvl cuz I'm gold 2 VS full team Diamond 2's!

[upper citrus]

Well that’s just the matchmaking being bad if you’re matched vs diamonds. But the way you lose/gain points is fine

It sucks to get people who throw/leave games but the only thing they can do is ban people for it. And they’re already overrun with trying to ban cheaters so it’ll probably be a while

The best way around this is just to 3 stack of lfg queue

[timber hazel]

Yeah. I’m diamond 3. And whenever I went into that mode with a sniper, I usually destroy the other team. It can be very overpower in power shift. That said.. :o. If there’s 4 sniper on the enemy team.

Surely you win those game my guy. Just ignored them
Touch the point. Put down some aps and goo grenade and you be good. Avoid walking in open and yeah heavy shield is cool. But nah.
You don’t want to play a 5 min game holding up a shield. Plus with the mesh shield nerf

I say even the goo gun and barricade is better for power shift

Or even more fun
Forgot the objective
Let your other sucker teammate do it
You got out and hunt those sniper bastard and put back their ego where it belong :3

(Cause trust me, not all of them gonna be god among men >:3

[silent cargo]

Okay, I can handle a teammate leaving before we even loaded in and even the other light as I play Light Sword in ranked, but why lower my rank after we won the first round against all odds and only lost in the second round? Why did I lose two arrows? Additionally, I was disconnected twice during the match, but those were early in the game, and I still played well.

[zenith scarab]

Do you have reading comprehension issues? 💀

[somber patrol]

scar is still strong
it just one of those weapons that nothing can't be dealt with it
It's feature is low bullet capacity but high damage.
Touch anything and it will be either too similar to AK or will not have enough bullets to kill anyone.
I think it needs to be reworked into dmr-like gun with high recoil to properly balance it

[torpid sky]

Fire rate isn't okay, it needs a nerf in fire rate and a buff in damage(not necessarily) and make the turret 180 degree only not 360 that's the only way to balance the turret

[fleet sedge]

I love this idea it would work perfectly with the light.

[dull fulcrum]

When is the report system actually gonna work ? i feel like my reports do nothing, playing on platnum elo right now, and get the same cheater in a row in the match 😄 feels super nice to know that the report system takes ages

[odd coyote]

How about adding playing time as a part of the matchmaking. It would be good towards more casual player, because they would be matched in same lobbies with other newer players. It's a little bit annoying to get absolutely destroyed in casual while trying to have fun after a long day. Experience is gained through playing the game so it is kinda good indication of skill especially now because there has been some time but not too much from the release. Also the tracking of playtime would be helpful for anticheat because people with <100 hours in game rarely hit every shot perfectly.

[rustic cloak]

this is good idea

[pale quest]

can bugged lobbies be fixed its been a thing since season 1 where on your screen friend is in your lobby but for him he's not. getting really tiring to constantly have restart game to get lobbies unbugged

[odd sable]

lobby that full of cheaters asia server

[south crane]

need more progression past lvl 50.

NERF THE FUCKING SHOTGUNS AND GRENADE LAUNCHERS OH MY

[compact sleet]

So this how to save this game!! Rework the money system, As of now the meta is just to steal the cashout in the last 10 seconds while trying to wait for the 3rd party…. The team holding the cashout for 100 seconds or so can lost EVERYTHING in the last few seconds of the game even tho they had to fight off 6 different players just so the last team can come in fresh for the easy steal. This might be one the most frustrating parts of the game and why most players just get off the game after these scenarios….

THE FIX: cashouts takes 2mins to complete so the team holding the cashouts at EVERY 3rd of the time (40secs) should be rewarded with a 3rd of the total cash (10k = $3,333 every 40secs) this will fixed a lot of issues and fix the HHM meta cus speed would be way more useful because getting there and fast would be the 1st step to actually earning money! HHM is really powerful because they have 110 seconds to wait for that one full commitment with dbl bubble/dome and all the close range crap to make sure it works….. with this new system they will have to race again the clock and get to cashouts fast and take the fight ASAP because one team is actively earning money so the time will push the paste of the game and EVERY second counts!! As of now only the last 30secs of the game really matters becomes off these 22k/44k plays that don’t feel good at all…. It just comes down to cheese and bit of luck

King of the hill you points while you in the hill…. Not for being the last team in the hill at the last second smh…. SAME for domination and any of game mode with a OBJ when you think about….

Next thing make rank more impactful as of now it just feels like a pointless grind and a time sink…. Getting eliminated in the first round. Doesn’t feel bad at all cus you will get to Diamond as long as you play a lot and that sucks!! Also add more ranks! We need a master rank after diamond!!

DONT FORGET TO ADD A TOP 500-1000 RANK FOR THE SWEATS!! just call it “ Finalist” DUH 🙄

[shy sphinx]

You realize anyone csn use Chinese symbols in their name. Not just actual china players.

[tawny light]

Me and my friend have trouble playing together because one of us doesn't get in and the other has to play with random and can't leave otherwise they get penalised. Please fix this issue

[light river]

You have alot of patience. I would have gave up instantly. Can't even try find a ranked game on PS5 in the morning time in EU with crossplay off. I do just try in the evening. Might get a couple of games. I have to have a full squad as it always give me terrible random team mates. I am Diamond. So no hope in finding a Diamomd player never mind 2 searching for randoms. Game sucks

[thorn lark]

Thoughts on buffing the heavy GL?

[pseudo latch]

Day 41 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 (should be breaking walls in 20-50 shots) 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

[foggy raptor]

fix the damn disable voice chat option.

[honest harness]

Tbh I don't like your "fix".

This "problem" will disappear in future when more and more teams adapt to this strategy.

[radiant imp]

Add the ability to buy individual items from store packs (by @shy token and @radiant imp)

What we propose is that the option to buy individual items is made available to not only increase sales of cosmetics but also satisfaction with customisation within and with the game itself.

You could still make it viable by using a method of (i.e pack multibucks cost ÷ items in bundle = individual price) this would allow a lot of people to pick and choose what they want to customise their character with, in a game with as much customsation as this already has, it just makes sense.

It would also give you a metric on what items are most popular and which aren't and invest more time and energy into making similar items perhaps to maximise capital.```

[sleek blade]

Hey gamers, add mnk to console, my radical dudes

[teal flower]

Wouldn’t it completely dominate as almost every heavy weapon rn is close range? If the weapons for heavy go unchanged

[grave sierra]

leavers are making me not want to play cashout anymore, it's a fun mode and imo better than ranked tournament cuz you can still switch out to reserve gadgets when the situation calls for it, i like it, but every single game there is at least one leaver in the lobby that just leaves one team basically powerless for the rest of the match, and they get the full 30 second respawns and they get wiped more easily, so they just don't get to play the game basically.
And it's a cascading effect when one person leaves there's a higher chance someone else leaves, and then another, i had a game that was basically me in a full team and 1 other team of 2, it was just not fun.

I can think of a few improvements to this, at least to amenize the problem for the people stuck w teams missing one or two, lower all respawn timers for the team that's missing players, so it's less of a punishment when a team that's easier to wipe gets wiped, and they don't have to play spectator mode for most of the game, this should apply to tournament mode too if it isnt already.
second i think cashout and quick cash should switch places in the casual queue screen, i've seen so many more newbies in cashout than in quick cash that just get demolished, i think because it's the first one people see, left to right and all that, and i just dont think cashout is a good first experience, having limited lives and long respawn times, and the metagame on top of that is a bit too punishing for people still learning the ropes i find, and when those players leave, i feel like they just dont come back to the game at all, which is sad. Also harsher leaver punishments locking em out of stuff but i kinda dont like that one.

[quick coyote]

• all AR's received range nerfs, its clearly a decision to cap medium ability to beam people from across long distances and balance out the classes(both light and heavies are more effective at close ranges too). i couldn't care less about this change and i honestly don't see why you should, all the fun aspects in this game are in close/medium ranges. it even helps with the dumb high ground camping in some maps.

• Revolver was already buffed to a decent place, that rng should be removed tho.

• FCAR/Lewis recoil nerf was needless and useless, i agree

• invis nerf, im also indifferent. didn't affected me at slightest and most of you whining about this change are bad at the class, sorry to hurt you ego. but i agree the reasons for the nerf are meh, i hope they revert this week.

[fair shadow]

• Dashboard Smirk (Crash Dummy Skin) allows for body paint, but not on the face for some reason.
• Dashboard Smirk (Crash Dummy Skin) on a Female (Light) has Male Voice lines

[delicate marlin]

you know I like the idea of some sort of stun or glitch on the riot shield's baton. That would be fun. Stun might be too strong though as once youre hit you cant run away. All of those buffs at the same time would probably make the riot shield too strong .

As an aside, Instead of nerfing the meshield's HP buffing meele weapons would be a fun way to indirectly nerf meshsield. Sword and sledge are ok rn but a little buff woudlnt hurt. Riot shield, dagger really needs big buffs though

[keen lily]

plat 2 knocked in 3rd round results in minus 1 arrow, daily repeating here that ranked system is a joke and it doesn't make you want to play anymore

[arctic pumice]

Very good ideas

[timber venture]

did you get third or fourth place? its dumb but getting last or second to last has a big difference on getting positive fp i just wish they kept the old ranked system where it showed you how much you lost or gained each time.

[mortal tide]

are the devs working on fixing the 50 million trophy money counting?

[blissful crescent]

120 fps for the love of god 🙏🏻

[rain ocean]

I turned off DLSS and all of my no reg and missed grab issues went away, can we get a no TAA, no DLSS option in the graphics setting as well? I feel like in a competitive shooter you should have that option already

[pseudo latch]

The idea is there’s no just ripping this out and surprising people. Equipping and revving the thing would take almost two seconds on its own, and you’d hear this thing start up from like, 50 meters out.

Yes it would be lethal close up but you’d get all the warning in the world you’re turning a corner into it or that one’s currently ripping into the wall next to you.

[quick coyote]

So many great ideas that embark missed the mark on because they felt like they had to release early. By 2025 this game gonna be great though, time is money

[smoky gust]

game-mode idea: crasher
in this game mode, its all about destruction
contestants will get money for destroying buildings

walls are a lot more prone to damage, and easy to break with guns (mgl32 and cl-40 only get a slight buff, unlike the rest)

if you die you get the usual timer
but if your team wipes, a 4th of your money will be awarded to the team that made the finishing blow, after which your team will instantly be revived

teams can focus on destruction or decide to sneak up on the very easy to locate destruction crews, to try and steal some cash
the team with the most cash by the end wins
(the rounds should probably be somewhat shorter)

this game mode aims to partially fix the "stolen at last second" problem cashout is facing, as well as giving every class a place in the meta, while also providing a kind of team death match for those that prefer this kind of game mode

thoughts?

[teal flower]

You right

[swift gust]

its so annoying to fight against 2 teams and one team takes cashout without any fight. The 3rd party team always takes the cashout easily. How long should we face this stupid spawn mechanics. Why embark is still lazy to fix the idiotic spawn system

[molten trail]

Nope

[thorn lark]

that could work, but it would be basically the medium GL with two more rounds. maybe decrease the bounce it has upon first hit? would make it easier to play with it on close range fights

[queen cloud]

how is this guy not banned yet?

[obsidian solar]

Bruh

[pastel sage]

buff sword, make it so that if you hit someone with the sword, they're forced in an 1v1 arena without other distractions, this way, light mains will lose and rage about light being weak further more

[stray rampart]

Getting one like every 3 matches, it's definitely getting worse. I have everything updated yet I'm getting this

[sacred siren]

i mean hes not wrong theres literally a rule against people that spam the same message every single day for months on end

[glossy spire]

I went 3 for 3 yesterday and am officially quitting the game until they fix it. It’s crazy how many Aimbots you come across and Embark just pretends it’s not a problem

[crystal umbra]

Today, right now was my first day logging off of The Finals out of frustration.

I just thought I'd log that moment here.

[slim sun]

creator mode ?

[thorn elbow]

its crazy every game i get one cheater per teami have to hope my solo queue cheater is better than the others

[shadow nebula]

I still haven’t seen a cheater yet. 250 plus hours so far on Xbox cross play on and off.

[tranquil bolt]

hiiiii wanted to ask to make the slug shotgun crit or have more dmg bc its really not viable rn !!!

[timber venture]

i saw my first one on xbox this season and had to turn off crossplay after i saw him 3 games in one day. and since I turned off crossplay i see the same people over and over.

[shy sphinx]

Jutsu Domain sword of the bastard

[copper lark]

buff the weak stuff

[smoky gust]

the bounce is part of what makes it good
it allows you to shoot around corners and such

it would also make the gun even more complicated
currently the projectile speed stays the same, so you can kind of estimate where it will land and apply your knowledge
now imagine if it went 1 speed before the bounce and then slowed down after it, it would just make it even more complicated

and like, self damage exists?
doesn't really help to make usage easier in close range when you will just blow yourself up

if anything, exploding on direct hit would be the right buff, as it rewards good aim while not hindering what makes it so unique

[frail prawn]

thanks, better than the bronze of last time I guess...

@kind oracle Same happens to me, I reached diamond 4 a week ago, since then, almost all of the matches went downhill, my team is always the one with one silver, bronze or gold, I got deranked to Plat 1 again because of this, just look at this pic and the one I'm responding to, every single match since I reached diamond have been like this, always me being the one who saves the last second but still, being derranked at the second or even third round

[obsidian solar]

I do it once a day and yesterday I skipped as well, it's not spam

[pseudo latch]

Fuck me i spam the Minigun thing more than you spam your shield thing.

[kind oracle]

Hi Embark,

I would like to request further clarification regarding your ranked system. Currently, it remains somewhat ambiguous, leading to confusion among many players about its functionality. For example, in my recent match, I found myself teamed up with one gold and one bronze player, despite being a diamond (3) rank myself. While we managed to navigate through the first match, thanks to some last-second heroics on my part, we were unfortunately knocked out in the second match. Consequently, I received a downgrade of one arrow. This experience has left me feeling that solo queuing is nearly impossible under these circumstances.

Furthermore, I can’t help but feel that it’s unfair to be matched with gold and bronze players who may not have invested sufficient time in the game, particularly when we’re pitted against opponents boasting platinum or diamond teammates. I would greatly appreciate it if you could shed some light on this matter and provide clarity on the ranking system’s mechanics.

Looking forward to your response.

[crystal umbra]

Not going to lie... I think we may have to seperate rankings between each class.

I'm a light main, I'm not a gold medium player.

But that's for a later date I suppose

[quick coyote]

What did they do to the fcar it feels like a stinky pile of hot dog shit

[tame pivot]

I mean you were already told to stop back in season one, it's also weird how they're giving a pass to @pseudo latch

[main knot]

CUTE Is cheating

[quaint forge]

Can I please get past the first fucking knockout round? I was plat 1 and now I’ve been deranking since because of matchmaking and having dumb and selfish teammates that suck

[autumn hazel]

Just be glad you’re not getting random suspensions

[candid wadi]

skill based matchmaking is absurd. I was Gold 4 playing with full Diamond teams, now I'm plat 4 playing with Silvers it's like the roles reversed lol. I like how it was last season esp with seeing where you were between ranks

[smoky belfry]

Revert cloak I hope your the system your using to see who’s complaining can also see the amount of people that have left because they needed cloak

[cinder ridge]

Text chat for deaf teammates would be nice. All of my teammates always have their hearing aids turned off and like to run to cash outs with 11 seconds left from across the map

[signal basin]

Can you do something about your MMR and match people with other people who know how to play objectives instead of trying to get some kills. 4 games = 4 mates who run for kills and don't give a shit about objective. And ofc, I'm a soloQ player because everyone leave your game.
I'm playing light and get more revives than medics and devs still want nerf light and buff M and H. This is bullshit.

[stray rampart]

If a teammate left the game, we should be allowed to leave! Idk why this was changed now I'm stuck with 1 full team, 2 duos and another team of randoms

[cerulean mason]

Power shift meta is completely unfun, please change that or don't make me play it to complete challenges. Not to mention "play this mode x times" is a terrible one in general

[charred echo]

i think you shouldnt be allowed to leave, but rank down less because of the shortage of teammates

[robust prawn]

Can we get a wrestling outfit? like a luchador outfit for those heavies that hit charge n slam from the top rope?

[delicate marlin]

I agree

[terse lark]

change cloak activation to 15%-20% and make it more visible at further ranges

[frail prawn]

Rank should get a multiplier for each teammate you loose, that way, if you are only 2, both get a little multiplier that will help to no derrank that much and if you were good enough you will even gonna get extra points, if you were just 1, the multiplier should be bigger, so at least each kill or steal will give you much more "rank points" sou you dont get derranked that much and the same, if you manage to win a round as a solo you should get waaay ranked up

[stray rampart]

That's dumb, there's nothing you can do at that point unless your opponents are absolute dogwater solos, which unfortunately doesn't happen in this game. I shouldn't be punished for someone else's mistake. Infact this is how it works, but idk if this is a bug or intended change. Either way, this needs to be fixed. If I'm playing bad, derank me all they want, I don't care but I'm not suffering because some idiot got salty and left! Case closed!

[hasty cliff]

repeating an opinion Thiixy made in his recent vid because i honestly think its a great idea. i'd love to see a gamemode (making the whole thing like a limited event maybe just to gather essential feedback) that the devs have everything balanced in the way that works best for their vision. i think it'd be a great idea to see how the community responds to it and would help the devs gather valuable feedback so they can still follow their vision, but also appease the majority of the playerbase at the same time (for as we know there will always be people complaining). also, as far as im aware, quite alot of people would actually prefer if the balance changes were reverted to end of cb2/ end of OB (including me) because the game was around its peak at that time.

pls dont torment me for this guys i barely ever post feedback bc people already mention it and i havent seen this mentioned yet ;-;

[wise jolt]

adding powershift was an amazing choice in my opinion. i loved payload on tf2. and now i almost solely play powershift. W devs

[vale acorn]

It's how I enticed overwatch folks into playing the game

Power shift is a superior robot push and to an extent payload race from tf2

[cerulean mason]

Day 1 of asking Embark to please add prop hunt

[willow leaf]

That would be awesome

[sour flax]

They should add more classic game modes with big teams like the payload. I'd love to see a capture the flag mode, the mobility of the game seems really fitting for a game mode like that. Also there would be a place for defense strategies as well as offensive strategies

[normal ferry]

Make the casual modes more catered to casuals almost every popular game catered to the casuals

[primal spoke]

Fix the bug that shows the "ranked update" screen when u login and after non-ranked matchs pls

[indigo sluice]

Give light some buffs or better weapons so that more people will play dif meta instead of 3 mediums or 2 heavys 1 medium or 2 mediums and 1 heavy. No one uses light in ranked so a buff would help the light mains

[celest tree]

30 sec teamwipe respawn > game spawns us 210 meters away from cashout > 45 sec time to walk
that's basically a 1m 15s respawn time bruh
what's the point of the 30 secs then, reduce one of them
reworked spawn logic: check cashout location > find closest spawn point > check for enemies in a 10 m radius (horizontal) 50m (vertically) > repeat if enemies exist > spawn the player

[signal basin]

Because kills is better than objectives ofc... and you can't do 2 things at the same time.
Don't nerf light. Nerf the other class or buff the Light PLEASE.

[charred echo]

in my suggestion you get compensated by the game not affecting your rank, which is clearly not getting punished

[hushed aspen]

suspended again for a crash thats beyond my control in ranked. Fun! Changing the resolution doesnt work, it happens whenever I get through round 1. Why am I even trying at this point when the game just doesnt work? Edit: Got 3 arrows down because the game won't work properly, but nah it's my fault right? Gamebreaking bugs like this can just stay in the game right??????

[whole acorn]

on the next april fools can you guys change the defibillator to a pie so that when you revive your teammate you smash his revive statue with a pie

also maybe ice cream sandwich defib skin

[upper citrus]

nerf fcar rate of fire

[carmine thistle]

Whoops Wrong channel
um Increase security detection

[bleak sorrel]

Met a blatant cheater a week ago, in-game against him now a week later and he's still cheating.

[stray rampart]

Huh? You literally said, "rank down less" how about not at all!! How TF is that "clearly not being punished?" WTF? Let me leave or atleast activate the rank protection so I don't lose anything at all

[wind gulch]

when you make a mistake in Helldivers 2, you and your team laugh about it. When you make a mistake in THE FINALS, you feel like a doofus and your team gets mad at you about it. Got wiped? Your team watched it happen, and now there's nothing to do for 20 seconds but sit and ruminate on it. That's a lot harder to want to come back to, especially when the mistakes are things like "I hit the wrong button because this is my second match ever and I'm still figuring it out".

Solution: stop forcing people to hold the responsibility of being a good teammate **before **they've figured out the basics of the game. Give them a mode where no matter how bad you mess up, your team will never throw a fit about it. Let people approach the challenge of the objective modes when they're ready instead of making everyone go through hours of feeling like a burden on their teammates just to learn the ropes. Helldivers starts you on a difficulty called TRIVIAL and has 8 more progressive steps before you reach "Helldive". This game doesn't offer anything below a 7/10 difficulty, it could easily be the king of casual FPS by just offering a low-stakes mode that rewards more than it punishes.

I'm all for the director's vision of this game, but please don't let perfect be the enemy of good & end up like every other game that offers only objective modes. CounterStrike's main gamemode isn't one tenth as complex as Cashout, but even that game starts you out in Deathmatch before upping the ante. Right now, "trying out" THE FINALS feels like showing up to a final exam you've never even seen the textbook for and then having your F broadcast for everyone to see.

[proven parcel]

yes

[tame crag]

Sword "emote cancel" is something that should be addressed. It's blatantly not an intended mechanic, but many argue that it should not be changed as it's a skillful component to the sword. If it's going to be allowed, it should be implemented as a true mechanic, with some sort of perfect timing for the sword dash release, that cuts down on the time before the next dash. I believe it should be entirely removed, but if it were at the very least intentional then reporting wouldn't be necessary for some (I don't report but some have)

[tropic swift]

I personally think that the cloak change was good because you now have to carefully use it with actual skill required to use. Before it was constantly going invisible without any consequences and just a straight up advantage against your enemies. Now you actually gotta THINK when using the cloak so I think it made light class more skill based.

[wise cliff]

Agree

[amber apex]

anyone face this issue, like it often crash? and this is the error code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

[slow sandal]

are all the cashbox modes supposed to feel like musical chairs with guns?

[simple junco]

can we get an option to manually switch teams around in customs? it just seems to always be the lobby join order. First 3 to join are a team, then second 3 are a team, and so on. this has led to my friends cooperating to rig and join in at the same time to stack and make "the god gamer" team that always play together and know each other's strategy.

[shadow gorge]

Some positive feedback:
•I love how the game feels unique, even with power shift being closer to other games’ escort/push/payload/tc modes.
•Having gadgets to solve different problems mid-match (breach charge and c4 to drop cash out and breach walls, mines and aps for defense, goo grenade to patch up holes temporarily) feels VERY refreshing. Thinking outside the box and being rewarded for it just feels better than any other game I’ve played

Some constructive (not negative) feedback:
•could we restore sonar nades to medium (without removing them from light)? Recon senses were overturned, but the sonar grenades felt right at home on a support-focused class. Just the right balance of power and restriction.
• could we get flick stick for controller gyro users? If possible, can it have an option to be active only when the modifier button is held (yes I use modifier select and not dpad select/wheel)? Readjusting the camera with regular stick feels good, but it lacks the snappiness this chaoticly good game wants

[stable wadi]

3 wins in a row, no p2-p1 rank up, then a 4th game w 1 teammate we lose in finals, 1 down arrow. What kinda terrible system is this

[forest veldt]

Stealing 10 cashouts in progress isnt crazy enough, teamate steals should count for it. this contract is nuts

[quiet fossil]

Just play quick cash

[smoky belfry]

The cloak change just forces more people to run M/M/H In games when you take away a crucial part of light players ability away and no longer gives them the chance to compete with pc at the same level as them. You try making cloak involve more skill to use but allow mediums and heavy to kill lights easier then what it already was before the update that ruined lights. Revert cloak it’s entirely useless now

[chilly moth]

Idk if everyone else knows this so ima share but if your in diamond and going down ranks it is 100% your fault im pretty sure it takes your elo based on how well you do in match I get second round knockout and go up an arrow in d2-3 so

Event Gamemode Idea - CEO Transport
"Upon a routine inspection of The Final's securities, CNS managed to snag and trap Vaiya's own CEO avatar on the map. Fortunately, there's an exit across the map, hopefully they can make it over there unscathed."

Protect the VIP gamemode, where all movement utility for Vaiya is disabled and all specializations are disabled.
10v10 one life gamemode with revives with a max timer of five minutes to each match, best of out three.

Vaiya - All gowned security arena gear, are tasked with defending the CEO to their destination.

CEO - Has the health of a heavy, but player model and movement speed of a medium. They are given;

Vaiya's Medi-Beam - Similar to the healing beam, heals less per tick but does not over charge.
V9S, flash bangs, three non-rechargble barricades and smoke.

CNS - All gowned in CNS set, tasked with eliminating or preventing the CEO from reaching their destination in time.

(Loosely based off the VIP mode in Insurgency)

[austere vector]

Bring back the ability to see how far you are from the next rank for the love of god , what was the point In even taking it out bro?

[sacred reef]

Why did i get +1 arrow in round 3 as plat 3?

[woven hawk]

As a Light, getting 3rd/4th partied in ranked was the ONLY thing I didn't like about that mode UNTIL I tried Heavy.

It doesn't matter if I get shot by two FCAR's from two teams with a grenade by my side and an RPG on the way.. I have 350HP! A dome shield, charge & slam to escape.. I had a Medium healing me. I had another Heavy shielding me.

400h+ playing Light, ~40h on Heavy but it's abnormally easier to win. I'd rather stay Light & lose more, because my fun doesn't come from outcome; but still I believe the difference is too great between double Light & double Heavy/Medium.

Thank you for all your hard work, I love this game (pls ranked Powershift plssss )

[stable wadi]

Imagine dropping 23 kills and top score in support and objective, and you go out in the first round and get 2 down arrow to replace 4 wins in a row. What a joke. Terrible system
Follow up, immediately following I get an 18 minute queue. Crossplay is on. Awful

[alpine wren]

It's good to read that... thank you

[short oracle]

Damn, since beta and u still do that shit of kicking ppl out for being afk? fr? that's sf troll
yeah it's troll to leave someone afk, but common u kill him and disconnect him? in ranked?? even to make him come back u'll lose a lot of time

Suggestion:
leave the player AFK ffs, it makes sense in casual, cuz someone else can take the spot, but in ranked? that's stupid af

in case your team get wiped, make a special case, if both tm8s can use coin already and the last one alive is afk, kill him to respawn all 3 of em instantly, and leave it like that, so when the player come back he's alive and in the game ffs

ragy, but real suggestion to that shitty mechanic that I already suggested in beta

[sudden geyser]

I mean. Thats what casual mode is for (theres multiple) but gamers will be gamers so i usually just mute people if they wanna complain in quick cash lol. Ranked is different as there is reward and punishment for how you preform.

[violet wing]

@alpine wrenYou're most welcome !

[clear glacier]

agree, or at least no derank if teammates leave

[lofty anvil]

Hello again just putting my grab option for charge and slam idea into the void. Hit a button to grab while charging and then depending on location and positioning a 3rd person animation of some kind of body slam occurs. Bonus style points for a midair pile driver or something. Chokeslam a light through the floor is also high on my list.

can u like heavily nerf medium akm and fcar dpm already? like its bs that’s it’s a “medium class” yet shreds everyone else

[wind gulch]

Casuals show up saying: "I want to shoot the enemies and blow up the buildings". Which gamemode do you win by doing this? None of em. It doesn't get simpler than Bank-It, which doesn't even reward you for getting an elimination. You have to go pick up the coins and deposit them to gain ANY points. You know what those two steps don't involve? Shooting the enemies or blowing up the buildings. You know what they do involve? A million chances to die and drop all the money, rendering your efforts completely fruitless and you & your team pissed off. Just like every other mode in the game. That's just too much pressure if you're still trying to get a handle on how your feet & guns work.

In an actual casual mode, you'd gain permanent progress towards victory with each elimination and receive no punishment for dying apart from giving the enemy 1/100th of the points they need to win. Can you see how that might hurt less than losing all the coins or letting the cashout be stolen for 100% of its value? Or how a 1-3 second respawn timer that gets you back to having fun ASAP might be better for new player retention than making you sit in the corner and wonder why you're doing this to yourself for half a minute?

Again, I'm a huge fan of the objective modes. I intend to put 10,000 hours into this game. But THE FINALS has almost nothing to offer a casual player, and the majority of players talking about / calling themselves casuals have no idea what that actually means. Engaging with any external media about your game takes you out of Casual and into Core. If you are reading this, you are not a casual. Bank-It is a great core mode, and Ranked fits the bill for the hardcore players. But the 80/20 rule applies to everything, and as you can see we've lost the 80% who would never even think to come complain on discord about it. They just went back to their old games without a word, back to the land of reason & common sense where shooting the enemies makes you win.

[misty schooner]

Pls fix this lmao

[jade otter]

They need downgrade the aps turret the at least let the glitch grenade take it out because after they set that down the ir no way 4 heavy and 1 medium rob the ship

[night glen]

CHEATING!?!?!?!?!? Do the devs even care? Dimishing player base... But who cares?? Doesn't seem to be the devs.. You know the ones who don't even monitor/respond to anything in the channel. And this EXCESSIVELY long timeout between messages shows the devs don't want to hear from anyone.

[dusky wraith]

Bring back unranked tournament!

[rugged adder]

Please👆🏼👆🏼

[strong escarp]

hard agree on this. we either need a TDM mode, or we need Cashout and Tournament to be tuned so that (A) kills are more rewarded, and (B) it's far less punishing to get teamwiped. It's a basic principle of every good shooter that killing, in and of itself, should yield meaningful rewards.

[misty schooner]

Smoke Grenades needs a bit fixing, it’s easy to see through on well lit stages and stages with bright colors

[unreal fossil]

No no no Cashout and Ranked don't need kills to reward more and teamwipes to be less penalizing. If you think so please play another game...

[nimble parrot]

I really love the finals and I stuck with it this long but the stun gun is just so fucking draining to play against damn near every game ik embark said they are working on it but unless it's deleted completely or nerfed to the point all it does is stop someone from getting the cashout I'm deleting it that gadget is abused almost every fucking match I can't go more then 1 match without that shit being used by at least 2 or more fucking lights that shit is more then enough for me to start hating the finals the stun gun with the toxic ass players makes this game more irritating to play than fun

[real moon]

if you don't wanna deal with stun go play ranked, most of the time you won't find a single light in the whole tourny

[fervent blaze]

fix your goddamn game before nerfing everything to oblivion

[green wharf]

Wow, they missed the throwing knives rip

[unreal fossil]

Just ran into three cheaters in EU ranked tonight. Heavy/Lewis, only headshots from across Skyway Stadium, wiping teams over and over again.

We eventually managed to play around them for a bit, but we would have lost 100%, had we reached the final round.

I'm now at the 400+ hours mark, and (obvious) cheaters have been extremely rare. My experience with The Finals so far is such that I could not jump into the "only cheaters every game" bandwagon. Maybe they're more common in other regions. But I also suspect that many people just shout with the crowd, even though they've only been outplayed. Not many players will be honest enough to reckon that their ego speaks when they call cheaters out. Especially since this game is very unforgiving if you play w/ randoms against a stacked team. It's easy to believe that others are not legit when you get beamed time and time again. I've played games where we landed 20/30+ kills to 2-3 deaths, no cheats involved, team balance was just FUBAR.

However, when you do run into an actual cheater, oh boy. The worst part IMO is not even getting killed by a braindead a**hat. It's that you're now stuck with two very poor choices, at least in ranked. Either you leave the game right away, losing hard earned ranking and getting penalized. Or bite the bullet and get to witness games with 11 players trying to play cat and mouse with ONE player.

Ranked has its flaws. The meta is stuck to MMH/HHM/MMM because Lights can hardly provide more value to their team than either a M or L player. Weapons and gadgets are often the same in all teams. But that's the nature of a meta in any game. Everyone who wants to win will identify and use the best stuff. There's always QC for casual/fun/troll gameplay. However Ranked is also very challenging/satisfying and fun assuming you get balanced teams/very close games.

I really hope Embark finds solutions to not let cheaters ruin this.

[daring fossil]

can we stop the UI from glitching out while taking damage? you already removed it from after you die but it would be REALLY NICE if I could see my health and how much damage im taking.

Could you also start posting your patch notes on steam using the patch notes feature. It would be nice if I could just see the patch notes without having to go through discord.

[bold silo]

THIS GAME WAS SO FUN AND HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL ON LAUNCH

DEVS FUCKED IT UP SO HARD, AFTER SO MUCH TIME AND DATA STILL NO BUFF TO LIGHT OR SNIPER, THROWING KNIFES OR SWORD

HOW DO YOU EXPECT A COMPETITIVE PLAY IF YOU CANNOT BALANCE 3 CLASSES

THIS GAME IS A CASE STUDY OF HOW TO GO TO 0 PLAYERS

PEACE OUT

[stray basalt]

Bye

[versed cloud]

Anyone else seeing big white squares instead of player ranks

[drifting gorge]

I've seen more and more cheaters this season as I've climbed the ranks, in NA servers of all things. Some that haven't been banned even though they've documented themselves cheating on YouTube or are blatantly rage hacking. Most of them are braindead though, so if they're playing light and/or using a bodyshot hack instead of an aimbot one you can still kill them kinda easily. Still doesn't excuse it though ( @unreal fossil meant to reply to you)

[sudden geyser]

Yup its always heavy lewis with auto headshots lmao. We need the best anti cheat possible then we can worry about balance etc

[south crane]

i swear once im getting close to ranking up I get the most dog shit teammates 5 tournaments in a row..

[tame crag]

Hi there, the data reshaper change is really nice and well deserved but I have trouble a lot of the time with getting use out of it, things like barricade will make it completely stop, and on power shift (my main mode), this means you don’t get the APS, and instead get an easily replaceable barricade.

[burnt chasm]

does anyone in here know if there is a hidden mmr system for ranked matchmaking

[spice goblet]

I hope the finals survives because ive spent more then 500 dollars in this game and i love the movement and zero input delay yet along with the cool idea of a totally new way to make a game instead of basic tdm. I hope the finals can get there stuff together i feel theres a lot of cheaters still in ranked and we need improvements of a better anti cheat system also why did we take sonars away from mediums because medium is doomed to lights with no (recon) potential like said in its name left with a heal beam really if playing competitive. Next i feel the scar has been meta for to long need another meta change at this time instead of waiting till another season drops we need constant changes based on the community feedback. And we need a attachment system itd bring a lot more people to the finals knowing they can add attachments. Also we need to revamp the recoil on certain weapons for casual players and some weapons that arent as rewarding but steady to no recoil for casuals and weapons that are high reward but with a little more recoil for competitive players. I also feel we need more from the devs centering involvement with the community inside the chat helping them and comforting them other than this i feel the game is really good and decent 8/10 but we not quite there with the whole community so with the next updates try to take some of this advice.
#KEEP THE FINALS STRONG ❤️

[keen beacon]

wont stay strong for long if they don't listen to community feedback (which is currently turning into outrage, if it clearly hasnt already)

[drowsy stump]

I get that people have stuff going on but everyone should know that their support team is trash, I have been unable to play for almost a week. Been trying to contact the support team. But no one there even replies and when they did it was to tell me to trouble shoot my Xbox internet connection. But I did anyway. I restarted, reinstalled, and continued to contact the developers through all of their channels provided. I’ve even been on the discord trying to figure out what the code even means. The devs have not given me any explanation as why I can’t play. The discord has given me no reason either. I just want everyone to know that if you experience any issue’s (at least with what I’ve seen). They are NOT goin to care they will ignore you and only tell you bullsht. Saddens me because I actually enjoyed the game. I invested time and money and can’t even talk to a real fcking person to find out why I’m being fcked. So just a public warning to all.

[inner acorn]

To help with the thin player count, please make power shift, Bank it, and Quick Cash cycle in and out of rotation every week.
Hopefully that should push more people into ranked as well as better matchmaking for all game modes in terms of skill.

Most people complain that it is TOO hard to see dude lmao. Game is dead dude. Embark screwed it up and there is almost no chance short of a full rework of the game that its going to even come close to being a big game. They make misstep after misstep gameplay wise and completely ignore the server issues, the matchmaking, the hit reg, its absolutely a joke how silent they are. this feels more like a do-the-minimum cash grab every week.

[serene hearth]

make all black cargos

[crisp raven]

Game is dead. I play against the same ppl every day. Medium class became useless without recon sense. The new ability is sooooo stupid. And in the same breath, they took away the recon grenades too. Getting shot and killed from the person you jumped over who is looking the opposite direction of you is such a blast. Give us the option for game fps, packet loss and ping? Or do you not want us to know how much lag there actually is. I'd never spend a penny of this game.

[quick osprey]

you probably heard this a million times but i think kill cams, headshot damage indicators, and match replays would be great, not only for clips but also for finding cheaters.

[left warren]

Please nerf the mediums china lake. Dudes barely have to aim to get kills with it.

[smoky belfry]

The nerf cloak has made me lose all joy I had playing this game it literally had given me no reason to play this game anymore because of how these devs don’t listen to their light player community

Unrelease this garbage game, it just Qed me in ranked without me clicking Q and without my team, i was solo with no teammates they were still in the menu, then i backed out and got banned making my teammates wait 10 mins, i just had to get off. This game is NOT FINISHED WHY THE FUCK IS IT OUT? I cant believe i even spent 5$ on this piece of shit. Take my coffee and do smthn with it Embark. This game deserves to die the way it just steals every other games flow and slops it together into some bullshit. Also i get worse fps everytime i log in just makes it unplayable

i think there just needs to be better compensation for backfill, im fine with joining a game late if it find a game faster, i just hate it when it wastes my time with no reward.

[rancid cloud]

I don't mind backfilling in a match, I feel it gives me more leeway and freedom to experiment in a match that's probably already a lost cause.

BRING BACK THE CLOSED BETA SLIDE. combat becomes very stale, especially with this ttk (not implying the ttk needs changing). I really like how the finals has a sandbox approach to things but the sandbox aspect definitely lacks in face to face combat. Also more airstrafe control would be nice as well as being able to crouch mid air for hurtbox compression. The new (post cb) movement system feels very unresponsive and sluggish. Please more ground to air momentum conservation. Client side movement, reducing or removing jumpsquat frames, and making chain jumps eat less of your momentum away. Also increase the mantle animation speed as well as add a crosshair indicator or smth for a mantle-able object. omnidirectional sprint and slide as well. Remove the damage multi (i think 0.4x or smth) on unactivated mines, breaches or c4's. The pocket sand and cl40 mine stuff was nice but sad to see it gone, removing this was kind of a statement that the sandbox approach the game initially had is starting to fall apart. Nukes were honestly pretty cool (even as a light player), outright removing it was a bad play as it removed the "monkey ingenuity" aspect to the game linking back to what I said earlier about embark and the sandbox approach to the finals

EMBARK STOP LISTENING TO THE WHINERS

[abstract harbor]

Ranked tournaments are by far the most oppressive, NOT fun thing I've ever engaged with. The point rewards/deductions system makes no sense, you are constantly matched with players that are nowhere near your rank and expected to hard carry them, the game PUNISHES you unless you absolutely win the tournament every time, and there is SO MUCH CHEATING going on that it's remarkable ANYONE is still playing this game. Embark, WTF are you doing?

It would be cool if there was an award for being top 500 or top 100 on the leaderboards at the end of the season. Perhaps a "FINALIST" rank that's analogous to radiant in valorant, or predator in apex. I'm picturing a possible red theme, with a skin that's red holographic or similar, perhaps awarded as a credit to be applied to any weapon. I think it would incentivize people to grind more, especially if leaderboard positions were visible to other players during tournaments.

Also, I feel that ranked progress or loss really needs to be visible to players in a clearer way than up or down arrows. It's way to opaque.

Give up on Asia server, I'm on Asia plat 1 and every single match has cheaters on multiple teams. Asia server is completely doomed. Most of all the diamonds on our server are wallhacking or aimbotting. I have played all week long to know this. They don't have phone verification, its super easy to make another free account and log on. They don'tt Region ban China, Nothing you can do anymore. Just give up. In Asia they have way too many Direct Memory Access hacks and Devs can'[t do anything but just wish for the best

[shadow stirrup]

There needs to not be a punishment for a leaving a ranked game where both your teammates have left. Please save the "people will abuse it" strawman to a minimum

[final fable]

Hear me out Embark...new jumpad skin??? 👀

[hearty sun]

make the cardboard riot shield make a cardboard tube noise when you hit things

[calm sonnet]

I really think that they should let us have an option to equip all reload animations in the same time. That way it’s more diverse and cool.

[signal root]

If your game freezes on the loading screen, wait and listen for your match to start and then close your application. Once you reload you’ll have the option of rejoining and just keep going until it lets you back in (it also prevents receiving leaver penalties)

[thick sorrel]

Weekly experimental modes are fine and extending them when the community likes it would be cool - just make a poll. Due to low playerbase I wouldn't implement perma casual modes without testing first to keep the queue times low. People are complaining already...

btw. Bank It Ranked would be awesome!

@keen lily I wouldn't mind if it's 2 rounds. Makes queueing even better.
btw. reduce spawn times or distances, better both to keep players active.

[keen lily]

ranked should be reduced to 3 rounds instead of 4, less players needed to start the game = faster matchmaking, easier to balance it out across the ranks and with the dying playerbase it would allow us to keep playing a little bit longer before the game dies completely

[quick coyote]

If they start banning cheaters and hacks, and people that are were using Rewasd and Overlays, then there would only be 50% of theh playing population left 🙂

[wide void]

I totally understand that crosshair overlays are technically against the game's design, so on a technical level it's cheating -- but I honestly find it really quite stupid that simply knowing where the center of your screen is "cheating." It's not like it reads or writes to the game's code (or any of your controls) in any fashion at all. Could also just put a piece of tape on your screen.

[real solstice]

Nerf Fcar its the most OVERUSED gun ever its so easy to use nerf it

[thick sorrel]

Wished they made RPM nerf. Not cool to shit my pants at all ranges against FCAR

[pliant crag]

Crying over FCAR is crazy

[wraith igloo]

That's some clever mental gymnasitcs to justify that crosshair overlays somehow aren't cheating. Placing tape your screen would also be cheating, so I don't see your point at all.

[real solstice]

well its not really fair losing a gun fight because you dont use the meta an akm against a Fcar the Fcar would win even if both land all shots at the same time its not fair to be punished just cause you dont want to use the fcar or any kind a meta if its a meta then there is something wrong with it

[rough herald]

APS: Proactivity and fck your projectile problem (Day 9 of asking)

Notes:
. to start off, i love the idea of the aps, the ability of being able to defend an area locking down a room is fun
. but its just unfair in some situation all because the "fck your projectile" part of APS.
for a weapon like the GL that shoot projectile you basically lose the fight automatically
. and for powershift its basically mandatory to win (that gamemode need a rework tbh)
. its also a one and done. meaning once you place it down it just stay there forever
. also add a 2 or 3sec down time after deployment so it can't just cheese a win vs

Suggestion:
. (fck your projectile) either make it so it take damage with each projectile destroy. Or it can only destroy 5 projectile then broke
. and also give it a 3 second activation time like the turret have
. (One and Done) make it lose hp overtime

side note: for the love of RN-Jesus just let me play with my fav gun cl-40 Without a aps fcking me over.
Like How are you suppose to kill someone WHO CAN"T TAKE DAMAGE??? its like playing riot shield without the shield
(embark pls fix )

[upper citrus]

the fcar is the best weapon on medium by a mile and you will rarely ever see someone bring in another weapon on medium into ranked. it makes the class boring and gets rid of any choice you have

[wide void]

Like I already said, since some of you people (and more importantly, the game's design itself) consider having a very basic visual mark on your screen to be "cheating," yes, it is cheating. Have some bloody nuance.

My point is that if the game was designed more consistently and fairly in general, knowing where the center of your screen is wouldn't be considering cheating in the first place. Having to know where the center of your screen as an intentional feature and challenge is not consistent or fair because not all screens are created equally and technically, using your own eyeballs, you always know where the center of the screen is anyway. It's also not consistent with the rest of the game's design either when they have crosshairs (and fairly customizable ones) for when you're unscoped anyway. It's also not fair when anybody can put tape on their screen and nobody would ever be able to control that -- outside of LAN parties, I guess lmao.

It'd just make everyone's lives simpler if you could keep crosshairs on while scoped -- that's all. Unless you just really, really love showing off the completely pretentious skill of knowing where the center of your screen is in PvP of all places. Then I guess it wouldn't be so simple for you.

[wheat gull]

Fix your ranked matchmaking for gods sake. Im plat 2 getting FUCKING 2 bronze on my team. "Ranked based btw" I guess Embark just lies about everything they say. Game is chalked
Edit: Just had them on my team again. Embark is full of fucking idioits

[wraith igloo]

Olympic gold medal mental gymnastics.

[upper citrus]

guys i dont think this should be controversial but i dont think the LH1 should be the best close range, mid range, and long range light weapon all at once. It's fire rate could literally be cut in half for the sake of going up to 50 damage (from 49) so it actually fits it's intended niche instead of just being a "fuck you i win everywhere" gun

[zealous lark]

Playing MGL on heavy you can hit the aps with the explosion near by, and eventually destroying it. Maybe with CL it is possible too

[reef jasper]

game has reached an all time low player count

MARKET. YOUR. GAME. or x defiant will replace it

[wide void]

Congratulations, you can use ad hominem instead of actual arguments. I've grown up with plenty of FPSs where you can see the crosshair at all times; it just makes more design sense. It seems like you've yet to grow up.

@upper citrus I agree, stats-wise it's OP. The main thing keeping LH1 in """check""" is the awful visuals... which isn't exactly the best way to balance IMO.

[elder umbra]

doesnt matter , more player will comeback if less cheater NO CAP

NEED NEW ANTI CHEAT HOLYYY

[upper void]

CHEATERS KILLING THE GAME... IF IT AINT CHEATERS.. ITS SHIT TEAMATES

[proud eagle]

don't think it's their marketing. I have friends who left the game at least 80% of them are because of hackers. checking with me occasionally the frequency of hackers in-game probably also because they will like to see if it's worthwhile to make a comeback ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[keen fossil]

Fixed anti cheat

[cedar forum]

Question: why don't I see hackers? Where are they? I wanna understand what you guys are yapping about

[rough herald]

there's a enemy heavy behind that shield, now tell me. is that heavy head glitching and about to shoot at me?
embark, pls fix give us opacity setting for ui (also don't mind that name, its me)

[wraith igloo]

By your own admission you could "just put a piece of tape on your screen". So why don't you go do that and be happy? The only reason would be you want to cheat but don't want to have to do it in a way that inconveniences you.

[upper citrus]

Do people actually care about custom crosshairs like who gaf

[twin heart]

Pretty sure these are not explicitly bannable according to games TOS but people will still claim they are (not all are allowed but you can hit up support to check if the one you want to use is fine)

Also i second it... who cares? It's a crosshair.

[smoky gust]

Something should be done about aps, but I advise against one and done

Then they would just place it and you cant play the game for x seconds
(And that can be mostly negated by picking it up before the timer is up)
If it only deletes x projectiles, then gets destroyed, then you can at least do something

It would actually be a soft-buff for throwing knifes and mgl32, since they allow you to waste its ammo and allow other stuff to get through

[dusty plume]

First point, yes
Second point, no; xdefiant is ass and anyone who says otherwise is either nonfunctional or sub 70 iq

[timber ore]

Join a match with only me (2 other teammates have not joined the match) And got - 3 line. What should I do?

[quick coyote]

losers removed light class from the game, shame game is dead already and filled with hackers and free cheats that never getting banned

They should let us equip all reload animations at the same time. It would awesome

I’m be left my 500th game today due to hackers. Is this a record?

[lyric imp]

Suggestion for you , try to play smart and lure your opponent out of his APS, already did it alot of times , most of them are chasing behind you so its a free kill every time.

[cedar forum]

Probably (to greyhat)

[gloomy beacon]

I feel like tournaments should be more accessible to not so sweaty players, like quickplay tournaments and the sort (also possibly making the flamethrower damage percentage based so it doesn't ruin lights instantly)

[cold pilot]

buzz#1184

• aimbot, norecoil

Wvlff#4773

• wallhack, norecoil

two cheaters in one game
your game is done with anti-nothing

[marble herald]

i also think that chaff grenades should destroy electronic deplorables and not just disable them especially if players are just running triple mediums

[rough herald]

im not in bronze you know, people in my rank will pick up the aps for a sec then chase me. the only counter play using that one second adventage is to runaway dude. ZERO Activation time

@visual anvil are you fucking serious? dead ass serious? you think cheater will help the player count rather then ruin them??? removing cheater is harder then you think. you should do some research before you talk shit. if its was that eazy you don't think they'll do it already?

[gusty wagon]

defib invincibility right after being defib revived needs to be removed. defibbed bodies should not act as cover either, is this a bug or is this actually intended? healing beam is also too strong.

[visual anvil]

they not care about us (player) they just want to keep cheater playing this game for the number.
i know they know how to work but they dont want to do it
Play in asia server than. chiken
@real solstice like i say. they not listen to us

[urban marsh]

are the servers down again?

[fair fiber]

yes

[shrewd tundra]

it is, under latest proton experimental all issues have been fixed by valve, now its just fine tuning time with mesa on amd to make the frame timing better but im on a rx 6700 and there is no issues, i also tried my older nvidia rtx 2060 and the game worked well, there is a memory leak that happens after around 6 or 7 hours of playing but i think thats got to do with the game and not linux lol, overall it plays rlly well under my arch system

[delicate notch]

About private matches… We need more settings. Let us assign players to teams and also provide a randomizer. Playing against the same ppl over and over in a casual setting is not fun. Depending on the preferred classes it also messes up the team compositions. Let us change the mode inside the lobby. Having to leave the room and re-open is just awful and unnecessary. Furthermore, why not let us do 2v2v2? Why limit options in Private matches at all? Why do we have to adhere to limitations?
I love the game and I think you guys are doing your best, but the Private Matches option needs massive improvement. Splatoon 3 might be an unusual example but in that regard (Private Matches) it really shines.

[sacred cypress]

THIS ^ 💯

[real solstice]

Embark please damn FIX YOUR DAMN SERVERS we got SUSPENDED becuse the servers stopped working in the middle of a rank match

[urban osprey]

Can we all agree to stop complaining about hackers and matchmaking for a week? They posted this #game-announcements message

[real moon]

you guys should make a polls channel and you create polls that the community can vote on for what could be looked at or changed in the next patch

[upbeat urchin]

I mostly agree with the fact that APS is a lil busted atm, I like the idea of having "charges" meaning a number of projectiles it can destroy before being inactive. I would add that each time a projectile is intercepted it decreases the life of the aps but to balance it i would also add a cooldown bonus. (each time a projectile is intercepted it recharges let's say 10% of cooldown for the next aps)

[stray rampart]

We already know that AC update takes place every week. Complaints help them know how big of a problem it is, as said by devs themselves... But i do agree that people shouldn't be toxic about it

[rough herald]

RPG: the bain of light main
note:
. alright heavy main, before you call me a crying light main... i am that but listen dude. say you're playing heavy and suddenly something hit you out of nowhere and tank 90% of your hp form full and before you can react and then you die form one more shot. or you are hart before this fight so you get deleted before you even blink. thats light vs heavy for ya
. the rpg don't oneshot light anymore leaving light at 10hp... so here the funny thing, light don't always run around with full hp, they get shot like anyone and get shot even once and then be hit by a rpg? still one shot!
. make it do like 100 at the tippeti top the most but i like it to be maybe even 50 or 60

Suggestion:

Utility rpg: (transfer it power form offences to utility)
. 50 damage flat even on splash (it do so lil damage so why not give it full damage)
. +20 damage if direct hit
. give 2 charge
. buff the switch from speed and NOT the switch TO speed (make it batter for trapping)
. no deviation in hip fire

Combat rpg: (some people like it this way, i'll try to make it works)
. 100 damage
. nerf switch from speed by a lil bit (to give player that got hit by surprise time to react)
. no deviation in ads

[hard badger]

What I want to see in the future for the finals:

• Killcam + option to disable or enable in settings @queen cloud
• louder footsteps when using invisible (because most of the time I dont hear them around me because I am shooting
• Better anti-cheat
• keep playing as a team
• in game notification when someone is banned if you reported him/her
• less players needed in private match (reduced to 4 players)
• bring back rank progression
• chat function in lobby
• stun gun rework (its unfair now)
• spectating youre friend while he/she is in a match
• tdm mode
• more people need to know about this game, so advertise youre game more pls
• fps optimization

Keep up the good work

[quick coyote]

I would like to see a Clan or Guild tab be implamentedin the game

[queen cloud]

this is a good list. killcam is not needed though. Any experienced fps player can clearly tell when someone is using either walls or aimbot. I'd rather watch my team mates play when I die/waiting.

footstep audio in this game is terrible yes. Apex was bad, but this game has it much worse.
There is already mic indicator when people talk...

Fps optimization would be nice. You need a high end pc if you want smooth experience. I have 13700k+ 4070ti and get around 240-260fps avg depending on map with ~160 1% lows which is about good enough for me but could def be better.

[drowsy swift]

i belive there is allready a mic icon when ya talk no?
maybe we as player base just need to stop bitching about the game and advertise it our self and take some preasure of embark :o

For Example i added the Cashout and the ability to steal it to my Vrc Avatar and Forced 2 people into playing with me regularly with it XD

[plush shell]

buff all, add fsr 3 fg, add dm and tdm. fix spawns. fix cheaters.

[dry raft]

Thank you Embark.
You listen to us, and you are a great company.
Remove this cheaters from this planet and rework the ranked ❤️

[smoky gust]

its not just about if you can destroy it somehow
its also about how it impacts you until its gone

I actually had a very good example of that in game the other day
picture 1: two out of position mediums, both at half hp and very close to eachother
the perfect situation for cl-40 to shine in

picture 2: one of them placed an aps
I can now either run away and hope I don't die while they laser me or try to chip away at the aps by shooting a little outside its radius
but if I shoot there, the mediums will take around ~40 damage per shot until its gone, meanwhile they are both shooting me
trying to fight will result in my death

I went from a pretty decent chance of winning, to a surefire loss in the blink of an eye

[spring crane]

384kHz audio is broken in the finals. It will stop outputting any audio.

[haughty wedge]

The contract “steal a cash out in progress 15 times” is not universal and very hard compared to all the others. I have no clue how I would be able to finish this one in the remaining time.

[bold pollen]

can someone explain to me why am i getting in the finals 60-90 fps with fps drops on the lowest graphics, while in other games like valorant and ow (and more games ) i am getting 170-250 fps. also if there is someone that know how to help me with that, than i would like to get help in dms. cuz the finals is just not playable with this fps

[queen cloud]

cl40 is already op and annoying since you can get spammed without LoS, doesn't require aim/skill and it's too easy to hit for the dmg it does. And you're complaining about a counter to it an aps that has an incredible small range and you can still do damage by shooting outside of it?!

CL40 needs a nerf not a buff. It was in a good spot before they buffed it long ago.
All the explosive spam, almost invisible nades, rpg on tank class, cl40 need a nerf if game ever wants to cater to comp.
Game needs to be more about positioning/smart plays/aim/mechanical skill and less random.

[keen lily]

what do you mean cater to comp, this game is dying

[quick coyote]

Dead not dying

[cedar forum]

Could be because (almost) everything can move or get destroyed in the game, unlike valorant or ow, and 60 fps is the lowest good fps, it's perfect to play with

[humble temple]

lol it's really funny how contrasting the messages between the feedback channel and the normal chat channel are.

SnappyMap#9465 killed everyone got 33 kills he's already gold 3 and still not getting banned? he even bought skins.

Gyro-Aim Improvements

• Gyro disable / enable button (ideally include the touch pad as an option please)
• "Player-Space" Gyro orientation
• Flick-Stick
• Accelertion options

[smoky gust]

you're complaining about a counter to it
I don't mind counters
but I don't like this kind of hard counter that often just straight up forces a loss

incredible small range
range barely matters in this case, since its still large enough to sit inside it and take way less damage

can still do damage by shooting outside of it
and how far is that damage going to take me?
I was being shot by 2 people, no way that chip-damage can amounted to anything before I'm swiss cheese

CL40 needs a nerf not a buff. It was in a good spot before they buffed it long ago.
I'm pretty sure that damage buff was made to enable it to 2-shot aps from outside its radius
Sadly this didn't help much, because you have already have to give up the element of surprise (if you had it), wasted half your ammo, while also likely being shot at

mechanical skill
and what about aps?
the skill of sitting on a stationary object to cheese wins?
its not much better in that regard

I admit that cl-40 can feel a bit bs
but a player should be able to, you know, actually play the game?

hard counters kinda don't work
this is another example

either you don't use aps and get annoyed
or you do use aps and now the other person cant play

there is always a looser

if cl-40 needs to be, then nerf it
but at least let them actually play the game

[obsidian imp]

buildings are made out of cardboard or something now lol it makes playing the game impossible when half a building is glitching around within a team fight

Thanks for not pushing any updates this week. Please take as much time as you want to come back with banger update . And don't hesitate to stick to your ground after the release. Now it's time for devs to take back the control to make this game great again. You guys literally must follow this whenever some crybabies shitting on discord

[bitter tangle]

DAY 27 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

[quick coyote]

Aim botters, wall hackers, Cheaters, Infested game. I can't wait for some proper FPS titles that actually put their money into anti cheat instead of making a cosmetic battle pass cash grab

[deft veldt]

I'm currently at Platinum 4 rank, but I've been struggling to find many ranked games lately. Over the past five days, I've only managed to play four ranked games, and unfortunately, four out of those five games had players using aimbots or hacks. The last match was particularly egregious; an opponent "SnappyMap#9465" was shooting accurately from 150 meters away, getting 33kills, dealing 30k+ damage, and to make matters worse, they even had purchased skins and still banned

[queen cloud]

Imagine expecting to win a gun fight when two people of the same skill level are shooting are shooting at you.... That just goes to show how broken cl40 is. Don't even need to aim, just spam their feet...

A skilled player would win 1v2 by abusing movement and cover. That's fair and requires skill.
But this guy just straight up wants to jump 2/3 people with a grenade launcher thinking he should win. 🤣

[hard badger]

Questioning the anti cheat because a guy who I played with a month ago in my team and he is still playing this game with the same name. His name is NoxQK#1053 and is playing on EU servers. I could see him cheating when I played with him. He clearly uses wallhacks and aimbot. Cheating should be ure top priority devs please do more effort and make a good anti cheat pls that is not know by cheat makers.
@finite flume U are insta killing people from far away, as if that isnt suspicious enough

[night surge]

Cheating is the only thing they should focus on right now really
The entire game is ruined as long as there are hackers
every time I jump off the game only because of the amount of hackers I had to deal with every game
Yes that’s right u heard me hackers with an S PLURAL!
the final round right now is just hacker vs hacker lol
we literally don’t care about the updates anymore because of the hackers, especially Asia server
DO SOMETHING THANK YOU

[woven hawk]

I've also been asking for ranked Powershift and probably for the same reason lol. I dislike luck & randomness. Getting 3rd partied causes most of my losses; running double Light we have it the worst. Burst damage from an unexpected team is often too quick to dodge. If FCAR and Lewis dropped 25>24dmg it would improve a lot.

Or I can just play ranked Powershift, I love that mode so much 99% of my time spent playing it is enjoyable.

[smoky gust]

Imagine expecting to win a gun fight when two people of the same skill level are shooting are shooting at you
while they both are at half health?
and out of position?
and close to each other?

how many advantages do I need to stack until its fair?
you might as well complain about someone that won a 1v3, while everyone else was at 10hp
absurd

A skilled player would win 1v2 by abusing movement and cover
again, how far will that get me if they take barely any damage

and what about all my other points, are you just gonna ignore them?
currently it just sounds like you don't want your favorite cheese toy to be nerfed but got nothing to dispute my points

[hollow badger]

is this jonesy from fortnite.

[drowsy swift]

actuelly i think i like that there cant be 3 times grenade launcher player on 1 team so it requires more team cordination of your gunfire team m8's to shoot down the aps, if they are dead yea ofc ya gonna lose excapt.... how about... ya just take the data reshaper with you which hardcounter any turret uwu

[mild pond]

just popping in to remind devs that we need an increase to maximum base sensitivity on controller, please and thank you. help us already disadvantaged controller players out a lil

[plush grotto]

I think they switched the spawns to straight rng. I miss OG spawns

[sudden geyser]

Lolz. The cl40 should always remain a niche support weapon. If noob tubes and grenade launchers become meta from a buff we are doomed 💀

[celest helm]

that's actually genious

[stable lagoon]

I understand not adding new things this time to pump out a new bigger update, but they should've at least buffed the underperforming weapons n gears at least

[smoky gust]

it requires more team cordination of your gunfire team m8's to shoot down the aps
there is no guarantee they will actually try to shoot the aps for me, even if i stick with them

and what about situation's where they cant help me?
like they're both dead, lights that ran off, etc.

if they are dead yea ofc ya gonna lose excapt.... how about... ya just take the data reshaper with you which hardcounter any turret uwu
then I have to use items I find unfun
everyone always says: "don't like x? just use y"
if I listened to every single on of them I couldn't use any items I like, just so I am allowed to not be frustrated

and not only that, data reshaper is bad/situational when compared to stuff like defib, zipline and the aoe grenades
I have to handicap myself so I get to play the game

[lusty grotto]

Nerf medium and cheats

[vocal rampart]

The collision physics in this game feel a little stiff. Where running into a corner in other games would slide you around it, here in this game the friction locks you in place (normally causing a frustrating death).

[thick sorrel]

Many items appear unbalanced with increase pickrate:
High:

• recon (fixed)
• nukes (fixed)
• RPG (semi fixed, not really for L)
• cloak (overnerfed)
• stun

Low-Pickrate:

• Sniper (no bulletdrop, hitscan, no aimshake when hit)
• CL-40 (Performs too well CQB, not punishing for feet spam)
• M Shotgun (Performs too well midrange, cone of spread is super tight)
• 2x explosive mines (instant death for L only)

The perfect example is Powershit where the most complains for snipers come from, because the Pickrate is so much higher compared to the other modes.

CANT EVEN PLAY CASUAL MATCHES WITHTOUT CHEATERS LMFAOOOO

[thick sorrel]

Many successful competitive FPS have simple game modes. That's why I think Bank It Ranked would be a great Addition.

• lower entry barrier for casuals (In comparison, new players need to study to have success in the actual rank mode and might be scared away - and new players is what we need)
• SoloQ is more enjoyable, Solo Carry is possible.
• You CAN play Non-Meta Weapons and still win the game.
• There is no META Team composition.
• It's much quicker, you don't have to reserved hours.

With some fine tuning I'm sure this fit very well. E.g. remove the 10k cash box, increase the time between new cash boxes, increase the cashout time.

[chrome kindle]

I'm the only who think the games is going to die cause there's too much cheater in the games ???

[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

[stray rampart]

Game crashed and didn't even gave me the rejoin option. Now I'm suspended, like seriously do something about the optimization and crashes every 15 mins

[unreal kelp]

^^^^^^^

[thorn kelp]

There's cheaters in every game bro. Have you thought about the cheaters in Lpex and wondered if the game was gonna die

[limpid pawn]

One has low hp and the other one just got revived with defib. They're standing really close to each other. How bad do you want the cl40 to be? Like this is a win with Akm or the Fcar

[heavy ruin]

Could we get aim assists on the goo gun on console

[balmy terrace]

What is the solution with the hackers of this game 😑

[slow spade]

if it was balanced like the one in modern warfare it'd be good

[hidden cove]

Nerf the turret its so annoying when u play light

[kind maple]

Do something against cheaters pls..

[dry raft]

I think the same. They are working on it

[pseudo breach]

Day 27 of asking to put map rotation on a timer for casual. Really sick of getting Horizon and or Vegas 90% of the time.

Also, can we please get South African servers and maybe a latency indicator?

[stray rampart]

And I'm crashed once again! This time before I could even find a match. I have everything updated and this doesn't happen to any other games.

Horrible input lag makes it impossible to move, mouse actions are fine but it takes around 60 - 100ms response time for keyboard actions.

Game crashes and freezes also becoming more and more common. It's mostly the UE5 crashes or freeze during the end of the loading screen

[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

[muted raptor]

Day 3 of asking Embark to show TK some love

[nocturne canopy]

Please fix the ranked system, a full gold Team shouldn't be playing against full dia lobby..

[night dune]

Wtf are the devs thinking. They just announced they are working on content patches and won't release any updates this week. When the game is this buggy!?

The finals is almost out of the top 100 on steam. Wish I were wrong! GG

[haughty wedge]

Challenger circuit stage 4 mission 2. It’s not a global challenge but differs for people, like winning x games or getting x money. Some people get the steal cash out 15 times which is wild in comparison.

[rugged adder]

They’ll need to buff light to make it even

[plucky perch]

Just been given a 2 hr ban for the same

[gaunt sphinx]

Barricades are way too healthy make each segment like 300 HP and don't allow a damged ( without at least 1 segment ) not able to Pick up cuz it makes IT Infinite

[upper citrus]

They are weak to explosions. You’re not supposed to shoot them out with bullets

[bleak coral]

[worn sigil]

Bank It is horrible, only for noobs learning the game. Ranked in the mode will be horrible

[barren path]

Idea of a game mode:

Goal: reach $50,000

• 3 teams (of 5)
• 1 kill earns $1,000
• 15 min per round
• No respawn time

Special features of the mode:

Bonuses of $5,000 appear one by one (like cashboxes) during the game.
The players have the choice or not to take them.
If a player takes it he must survive 1 min with this bounty, and his position is revealed.
However, if a player from an opposing team kills him, he recovers this bonus instantly and the 1 minute timer continues.

[rich kraken]

back to back to back games with cheaters teaming with other cheaters on other teams all boosting each other haahahaahaahaha
its over for this game sadly

[fleet trellis]

The stunt gun didn't need to be Nerf...

I'm going to write a long text that I hope will be seen and reviewed by the community as well as by the developers who have made an incredible and original game.

First point: game optimization.

Huge lag and latency problems which are quite recurrent in the game, sometimes even when there's no reason to be unfortunately. If that were all, of course, it would be fine. But not when rollbacks appear in the middle of a match... Or when the game literally doesn't work at all, and all you can see is your character moving... Without actually moving. (maybe it's just me, idk). Server optimization would be great, as well as game optimization, so that the game doesn't crash when we have a bad PC configuration.

second point: anti-cheating in ranked.

Does it really work? I don't know, but there are a lot of lousy cheaters too many in the game, who deserve to be quickly kicked out of the game.... Please do something about this!

THIRD POINTS: the useless NERF

This is going to be pretty important. The nerf for light class was totally unnecessary. Especially when this class is already very weak in terms of life and power. Yeah, blah blah blah, people are complaining. But they're not complaining about the weapon, they're complaining about not being with their team, that's all ! So please, stoop the useless NERF.

fourth point: Levels and objectives:

Only 50 levels and 12 battle pass levels... Really ? come on, you're all invested for season 2 But forget the essentials !
Another last point that needs to be fixed:
When switching between weapon and skill (for example: Heavy's shield and main weapon) there's a monstrous waiting time to attack, and sometimes... it attacks without really doing the animation. Is this normal?

[worn sigil]

Various changes to make ranked a better experience for all is a good sign finally!
I would hope for the following:
(Read this please Embark)

• give us the lowdown on how positive bars and negative bars work cuz atm there's no consistency
• improve the reconnection feature for insta rejoins instead of having people suspended for your bad servers
• when teammates quit/disconnect (on purpose), add loss protection so we don't get minus FP or bars
• improve loading times to begin a match and in between rounds
• should show both their id and embark name in recent players so I can find and report people properly if they are cheating or spamming or something!
• there's also a bug where the cash box gets stuck under the map after you drop it during a fight that needs to be fixed ASAP!

[subtle yarrow]

Came back to try the 5v5 mode. And I do like it, but I wish the daily challenges would let us complete them in the mode of our choosing. I don't bother with multi-team game modes. 3rd party gameplay isn't my thing.

[vocal rampart]

It would be nice if the Riot Shield blocked Flashbangs when they're not visible through the window. A small change with some big synergy.

[pseudo latch]

You’ve missed dates. Pathetic.

Day 42 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 (should be breaking walls in 20-50 shots) 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

[plush grotto]

Gib me mini nuke launcher

[fresh shell]

cloak needs to be blocked in combat, with a cooldown period (half of regen or so) before being able to trigger it

[nocturne canopy]

And of course hacker shouldn't be able to shoot through shields. This should easy be detectable.

[reef jasper]

No

[rigid walrus]

Bro complaining about cloak is useless, its already nerfed as hell, what do you want next ? Make it 1 sec ? Its easy to see them anyway, stop complaining, its a skill issue, not a game one

[toxic shadow]

if youre still losing to that awful spec just try a different game lmfao

[low valve]

i hope u are just joking here, cloak is already nerfed to bottom, making light useless asf in ranked, a class that was already hard to play, if u aren't joking then this is fcking skill issue

[quartz oak]

This sounds cool as hell

[stable lagoon]

Add jiggle physics like other games

[hollow prawn]

Yeah bruh I think they should nerf cloak and all the guns again

[fresh shell]

I ain't, it's just annoying that I have to run tracking dart in pshift sometimes where they can disappear insanely quick into chaos, or spawncamp so you have no time to react, instead of carrying something more useful like gateway.
Tbf, in qcash cloak is quite decent.

[plush grotto]

GOTH MOMMY JIGGLE PHYSICS

[terse lark]

hopefully a cloak rework is coming soon

[brisk flume]

dagger is incoinsistent and the flame thrower is just ANNOYING to deal with, its such a pain

[willow kindle]

🤨

[timber hazel]

ADD OFFICIAL CHARACTER THAT WE CAN SIMP FOR

[south crane]

STOP PUTTING SILVER PLAYERS ON MY TEAM WHEN I AM IN PLATINUM

[midnight bison]

26min+ NA Plat and can't find any matches

[somber snow]

Hey Embark, question about reporting:
Is there specific information we can include that is actually helpful or do we only need to hit send? Would you like for us to include information about potential types of cheats (aimbot vs wallhack vs whatever), timestamps, or anything else? I know cheating is a huge topic right now, but what can we (as the players) do to help ensure we're giving useful reports that contribute to a better game?

[fleet trellis]

Of course, all this is just my humble opinion of the game and the experience I've had since its release at the end of Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2.

I know there are a lot of differing opinions about the game at the moment, but the game, in fact, risks perishing if we listen too much to the commu complaining about everything and anything, and if Embark doesn't focus on the essentials.

Which, as I see it, is :

• Cheaters
• Objectives, battle passes and game levels
• Optimization of the game's servers
• Optimization of the game itself

[fickle bison]

Remove the sniper rifle from Power Shift please.

[tall agate]

TFGE0000 error nonstop for only season 2. season 1 was flawless. plz devs can u figure out whats happening im not the only one. this issue has been nonstop all season so far. only certain ppl are randomly affected (in one match someone told me they had 2 ppl on the same wifi and only one was affected so its something in game)

[quick coyote]

Limited Time Mode idea:

A game mode that is complete meant to be unbalanced, this game mode of pure chaos will let anyone use any specialization, weapon or gadget regardless of their class.

With this you could have a Light with a Sledgehammer or a Heavy with a Grappling Hook, or a Medium with a RPG-7.

This will leave you to lots of possibilities to make the worst and best loadout, not for competitiveness but for fun.

[plush grotto]

Gotta try to build a team tbh

[turbid tree]

1. I think the developers should redo the mechanics of the glitch grenade. Why does it have a stun effect at all? Its main purpose is to disable gadgets. The player should not lose the opportunity to switch between items. But I agree that the glitch grenade should disable specialization.
2. The medium has a glitch trap. I think this gadget should be changed and given the same abilities as stun gun. This means that this device will no longer be able to turn off gadgets, it will slow down inattentive enemies and turn them into easy prey.
3. Why is a victory not counted when the entire enemy team quits the game? Today I had to wait 3-4 minutes for our platform to reach the finish line, although all the enemies were taken out of the game.

[raven jacinth]

embark please fix your ranked, its the third time in a row we are starting with only 2 players in our team

[worn sigil]

General

• add more customisation to our class avatars so we can put ink on both arms, or have 2 different eye colours or skins for example
• allow us to copy a premade class so I don't have to create a brand new one from scratch each time I want to have a new specialisation loadout but keep the same skin on for example

[random topaz]

Something that Could be nice for next ranked season is to be able to choose our diamond reward, like the gun we want diamond on. So for example you hit diamond next season you would get a coin that let you spend it on a diamond skin of your choice at the end of the season.

[toxic warren]

I thought i would be nice to organize the order of our classes ourselves

[strange plover]

Anyone have connection issues?

[proven ibex]

Bruh, I'm in final round and got disconnected. This must be fixed asap. It's not connecting anymore. This is really frustrating, playing for an hr just to win a tournament but getting disconnected in final round because of servers is pathetic experience 😭

NOW I'M SUSPENDED 💩

NOW I'M SCARED TO TOUCH RANKED AGAIN

[urban marsh]

again the servers are down....this game is going down so fast....

[upper citrus]

"servers are down guys the game is so bad"

STEAM SERVERS GO DOWN EVERY TUESDAY!!!!! BE NORMAL!!!!!!!

[pseudo latch]

They really gotta add emotes back to this chat because some of yall really need to get a few more 🤡’s for the way yall act.

This is feedback, not rant. Throw your tantrums in silence, no one wants to hear it.

[daring fossil]

please post patch notes on steam, It's very annoying seeing 300 "why did my name change" threads in the steam forums because people not in the discord don't see patch notes (or apparently look at the main menu in the game).

Also, the patch next week better be fucking amazing.

Embark: Nerfed cloak, and stun gun nerf next week

Next week: just kidding!

[past steeple]

BRING THE FCKING UNRANKED TOURNEY BACK. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION TO ASIAN USERS WHO ALWAYS MANAGE TO RUNAWAY FROM THE FCKINNG CHEATER LITERALLY EVERY RANKED TOURNEY.
DO NOT IGNORE THE SUPPORTIVE PLAYERS EMBARK DO NOT IGNORE US. WE WANT UNRANKED TOURNEY BACK

[topaz acorn]

opinion, no competitive shooter should have instakills. the entire light class conflicts with this. redesign light to be a support role, make their gadgets their most powerful tool. im saying this because i, with an M11, killed full health 3 players in one single magazine

[violet elbow]

yeah, especially stuff like this just gets really annoying really fast

[silent cargo]

would also take from the base players already in ranked making it more awful for one or the other

[fleet marsh]

Lmaooo

[rapid stream]

Get this man a true…

[supple oasis]

i'm with a friend, and we are 2 in our game of quick cash...

[zinc shuttle]

try ranked...

[frail prawn]

Its getting worse every match lmao...

[strong vessel]

Bank it is a goated gamemode and would be a better fit for ranked even in its current state.

[cyan walrus]

just happened to me, servers are perfect..

[urban nest]

wtf is going on in finlas?

[low estuary]

i just got in 1v1 in power shift💀

[rocky violet]

The game gave me a ban because the game didn’t even load for me, at least they warned me that there were errors on the server

[noble kraken]

is everyone having issues right now connecting to games? I tried restarting game / reconnecting but it forced my pc to reset, kicked me out of game while TM was still playing

[plush grotto]

Gotta just play for second. also, if you get disconnected and one player stays in; keep clicking reconnect and avoid leaving match

[wind yew]

just got banned for 58 min because i got kicked out of the game because of the bug xD

[stable lagoon]

Requesting again to please turn the 93R into dual-wield, pistols that fire in a 6-round burst, with double the fire rate and mag size in exchange for double the recoil and reload time. We already have a pistol (V9S) and a 3-round burst weapon (FAMAS), and the 93R is inferior to them not only in terms of stats but also style, also Light can finally have a dual pistol weapon.

[turbid tree]

@worn sigil
I think they should also put the glasses in a separate customization category. So that I can wear glasses with a mask

[dense swan]

what is going on with servers waiting on players to connect.....after 2mins i get reconnected back and now im suspended for after round 1? just because i had to wait for players to connect? someone pls explain this and i lose elo for it and now im lobby while my duo is still ingame and on going thats really messed up.

[gleaming elbow]

the game is dead , a lot of cheaters , servers down and unbalanced matchmaking , you can't know your progress in rank mode , season 1 was so much fun and better

Still love the game tho

[pure lynx]

so... i got disconnected during the loading, couldn't reconnect and now I m timed out with 3 down arrows... GREAT !

[vocal rampart]

Nice idea but then it's entering the scope of the M11. Dual V9S on the other hand... 🤤

[proven ibex]

Now removing and locking bug reports? Dint expect this from support team:(

[grizzled canopy]

DAY 20 of asking Embark for MEDIEVAL BUNDLES

[sudden geyser]

Bank it is both chaotic and fun. Also light is actually relevant in that mode

[warm compass]

embark please buff the clocking and nerf the stungun range . for the heavy make shield life 1000

[low tusk]

Recently I Played Ranked Tournament. I was alone in team. I think if something happens like this , join the multiple teams with only one player should solve this problem.

[last bluff]

i mean solo q in rank is worst thing you can do in rank

[timid tapir]

just got out of a ranked game where my friend got kicked before the game loaded and I versed two teams: 1 team with a single plat player (way higher rank than me) and 1 team with 2 players. how did this game get so broken since the last update?

[scarlet jackal]

Hey Embark! Hang in there, thank you for a great game!

[steady hinge]

Lost rank from two games for kicking me out before they even begin 😦
Love the game but my attempts to go higher in rank are constantly shut down it seems

[keen kestrel]

your game is dying do something abt it pls. Market it or something still havent seen a single ad for this game

[keen girder]

Anyone else gotten de ranked and suspended for an hour 🙃 ffs … it never ends with the bs

[short oracle]

do u use facebook? 👀 I think there are some ads on facebook

[sly chasm]

I have enough of this ranking system and the hacker community. I left the game until it will be fixed

[frail prawn]

The good ranking system indeed

[barren path]

Idea of a game mode:

Goal: reach $50,000

• 3 teams (of 5)
• 1 kill earns $1,000
• 15 min per round
• No respawn time

Special features of the mode:

Bonuses of $5,000 appear one by one (like cashboxes) during the game.
The players have the choice or not to take them.
If a player takes it he must survive 1 min with this bounty, and his position is revealed.
However, if a player from an opposing team kills him, he recovers this bonus instantly and the 1 minute timer continues.

[turbid tree]

Good idea. In that case, I would remove the ability to aim and slow down the reload.

[loud frigate]

Suggestion of the day: FLAMETHROWER BURNS ZIPLINE AND IF BURNT ENOUGH BREAKS ZIPLINE

[plush solstice]

^

[harsh carbon]

Make main game mode 5v5 trust

[quaint forge]

Please fix matchmaking

[warm compass]

4 vs 4 frontline cashout 4 position points to push to the base

[somber garden]

Add homing rocket launcher with 50 rockets and 100m range 😆

And throwable sledgehammer

[drifting gorge]

Sledge is getting better. Soon, I bet we're gonna hear calls to nerf it

[merry anvil]

Players should not be getting cued with less than a full team and also be forced to sit through a full game that will lead to a loss. Leaving in this situation should not be penalized. The player gets screwed either way.

[toxic warren]

Comeback

[gleaming tide]

Egg throwing knives.

[topaz token]

Please fix the heal beam bug already. It really sucks to get into your first fight in a ranked game just to find that you can’t heal your teammates and you essentially have no specialization for the entire game. It’s every 3-4 games it seems like. And disconnecting and reconnecting only fixes it sometimes.

[pseudo breach]

FIX THE FUCKING HIT REGISTRATION!! Jesus christ!

[wise falcon]

Can yall fix game chat? Seems like a pretty basic thing to have...

[spice briar]

not sure if anyone has noticed this but the sniper rifle is classed as a melee weapon XD

[wary kraken]

Any chance we can get replays from different user perspectives after the match?
Sometimes I like to watch myself get rekt from the perspective of those who rekt me.

[viscid tundra]

This game is to hard ban it

[knotty spear]

pls nerf the lewis gun

[fast owl]

please a ping / voice line to apologise 😭

[median owl]

played another game with another lobby of cheaters, so frustrating, named superslam and hastygold and rwhunter. I think this is the last time i will be playing finals. Thanks so much.

[smoky belfry]

Revert cloak

[shy osprey]

Olá, nós precisamos de chat de texto, tanto para os amigos adicionados quanto in game.

[crisp bobcat]

for the love of god - please change ranked progression to at least somehow reward performance. Solo q is basically unplayable. As a D3 getting matched with a G3 and P4 while the rest of the entire lobby is P1+ incl a Dia triple stack. Like to progress I literally have to win every tournament or at least make the final round - which sometimes can come down to one moment in which RnG/luck/spawn location/timing or literally any confounding factor could knock you out. Like yeah its easy to pick up a group and thats typically what I do personally or find players to play with consistently - but for those people out there who occasionally just want to play solo q but still competitively, its a joke. The fact that I have the lowest ELO teammates in the lobby, go 13-4, have obj score from a cashout, revives, etc but bc we lost first round I literally drop out of D3 (was at about 2200 on leaderboard) into D4 is absurd. I dont know how they are calculating ELO/MMR but it clearly needs a MASSIVE overhaul if this game has any kind of competitive future

[wooden storm]

Not sure if it's a bug but queue times for ranked with crossplay off is insane. And no I refuse to play against mnk players and hackers while on console, it's a huge disadvantage

[summer girder]

So tbh completely honest this game is amazing. Sure it’s got some hacking issues but to be honest it’s not any worse than FOS games already have most games still have hackers and have been out for years, I think people are just complaining way too much about it because of all these other games and how great they are, this game just came out give the devs so time we are on their cheeks about everything even tho for a game that just came out it’s doing amazing.

Thanks Rico for agreeing 🙏

[acoustic storm]

Please fix the invisible poison

[stable lagoon]

Embark, add Pecs & Quads & Glutes sliders for us distinguished gentlemen of refined taste in Customization menu.

Trust me, this will increase player retention as people will be distracted away from the game's current issues.

[worn sigil]

Agreed, plenty of options

[crude brook]

need unranked tournament with backfilling, and casual gamemodes an on-occasion thing only

[quaint forge]

Omg lmaooo

[terse lark]

33% on activation was too harsh. revert cloak nerf and instead make cloak run out faster the longer yoe have it active

[rapid vapor]

solo ranked should be a thing, these randoms in ranked sure love to bug

[violet wing]

completely agree.

[minor venture]

An in-game messaging feature at main menu would be greatly appreciated. inviting someone in the menu hoping for a response is kind of a waste of time.

[drifting gorge]

My favorite melee weapon

[raven jacinth]

is it normal to not rank up after a win in the final when you were 3 arrow up ? or the ranked system is bugged as hell ?

[static wolf]

dont fucking solo queue lmfaoo. skill issue

[late cobalt]

Playing solo queue is a skill issue are u special?

[brave copper]

that plus a longer time limit for invites, and the ability to see how many rounds and minutes are left in our friends matches.

[stable lagoon]

Ironic that you're scared of playing in Solo Queue yet you cry "Skill Issue", you don’t have enough skills to run with random players so you just getting carried by your pre-stack buddies

[young minnow]

True, stacking is a massive advantage

[crisp bobcat]

are your parents related? Did you read any of the post? or did you just see solo queue and go 'durr dee hurr skill issue' grow up. Like I said - I don't typically solo q ranked BECAUSE of the high likelihood of losing ELO when you're facing triple stacked diamonds and your teammates are either braindead, have zero game sense, or play light and go 1-15 with no attempt to even play the objective. It is something that has been commonly complained about because there are a good amount of players that would like to solo queue from time to time. Some of us have lives and work and schedules dont always line up perfectly. Sometimes I just wanna play 1 or 2 tourneys and not spend effort putting a stack together. Increases sociability of the game too (if your teammates have mics) if you are consistently matching with players around your skill level you may end up adding them and stacking up later. Like this is how a lot of comp FPS teams are formed - my fortnite duo back in the world cup era was a guy I met queuing random duos and we were 2 qual rounds away from WC quals.
TLDR: You're inbred and cant read. This game WILL die if there isnt a competitive solo aspect, and to say skill issue as a heavy main is WILD.

[raven jacinth]

can you explain how its possible to be with 2 silver mates in platinum/diamond lobby ? i need answers...

[violet wing]

hey ho hey, don't you diss my fellow heavy mains bro, what's so wrong about being slightly chubby and absolutely awesome ?

edit to make an actual constructive comment: I do struggle with solo queueing like you, I identify with each of the problems you listed, and even using the LFG here it's very hard to find someone in my level bracket (Gold 2. Most LFG people are plat+ so I'm trying to get there even if it means soloQ).

The thing is I usually give up trying to find a teammate, or when I do find one, they are either rude, dreadfully unfunny, or plain bad/solo cod player type. Then I switch to solo Q and wait forever to basically find worse, mostly. Although IMO the main problem is that you don't have time to build good team mechanics and get knocked out before the magic happens. (I have to admit I encountered many really good mediums just for a single round, thinking that with more time we could have kicked ass.) So i feel the pain.

[storm siren]

I was gold and qued into an entire plat lobby lol

[viral cape]

new invisible hack nice https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/984753403836133446/1232420707967701012/image.png?ex=662964ba&is=6628133a&hm=9de0c34e97d5264bd49eb245e785d3713a5a2d0998e6acd41c328af3ae94b369&

[somber hound]

Nerf turrets

[willow leaf]

This game would be better if they removed the medium class

[queen cloud]

you need to remove light and heavy too then the game is fixed

[compact plank]

Medium Specialisation Idea: Upgrader (name needs work lol)

The premise is that it works similarly to the data reshaper, however instead of changing an object, it upgrades it. Some examples of upgrades would be:

• Increasing APS turret radius
• Increasing teammate's turret damage/hp
• Increasing Explosive Mine damage
• Increasing Gas/Pyro Mine radius
• Increasing Barricade health
• Upgrading walls (Wood/Stone/Metal, idk if these materials actually have different strengths but the premise is that they become more explosion resistant)

[smoky gust]

doesn't sound like a good idea

people are already complaining about aps
and currently you can at least shoot right outside its radius with cl-40 and mgl32 to deal chip damage to it (its not much but its something), that would straight up not be possible anymore

people are already complaining about turrets melting them and tanking too much

explosive mines would go right back to 1-shotting lights, which was complained about until its damage was nerfed

and this game is all about destruction, making this games fundamentals harder to use does not seem like a good idea

so sincerely, please don't

[severe comet]

Dear Devs

Not a single soul will blame you if you were to plagiarize the tf2 stock scattergun & replace the DB with it
It's almost sad how sniper not only is better close range, but has more ammo & faster reload time
Yours truly - average light main

[vale acorn]

Maybe like a tf2 dispenser for medium, block some doorways with it, maybe it can double like an Apex Lifeline passive ress that takes much longer than normal ress

[crisp hawk]

one more time got problem with server in a ranked match
pls fix

[compact plank]

The APS upgrade could always just be reworked so that the turret simply has more health, itd be up to the devs to balance it versus guns at the end of the day

i havent heard anyone complaining about turrets "melting them", i can only assume it would be light players saying this due to their health, but they have glitch grenades, and could just go invis to avoid the turret

explosive mines one shotting lights would be part of the point of upgrading them, youre sacrificing a healing beam or dematerializer (healing beam being the more impactful choice), so naturally itd have to be atleast somewhat viable (could also just make it so explosive mines destroy in a larger radius rather than doing more damage)

yes the game is about destruction, and as such i dont think its a necessarily bad thing to have counter play. APS turrets and Goo (moreso goo gun than goo canisters/nades) are both counter play, as aps stops rpgs/c4/explosive mines from blowing up things next to it, and goo can be used to simple patch up the holes made

im not saying your points arent valid, but as it is most mediums in ranked are just running healing beam which contributes nothing to the destruction/sandbox element of this game, so im just spitballing suggestions for specialisations that would contribute to this game's most unique selling point

[timber hazel]

"Booster" but idk. sound kinda boring.. I mean you just make thing that already exist a bit better. Even if it upgrade stuff by a holy shit large margin, i really think it gonna be stale fast.

[stable lagoon]

Add an LTM where u can carry 2 weapons, swapping between them with the Weapon Select button

It would be a cool experiment to find out how giving players more flexibility with their weapons would affect the meta, as it would open up weapon combos like Sniper+SMG, Hammer+Lewis or even Shotgun+Riot Shield.

Of course, the ttk for weapons would need to be increased with that, since now everyone has more DPS due to a 2nd weapon

[willow leaf]

This game would be better if they removed the medium class

[hollow badger]

day about 30 of asking for weapon charm.

[placid hazel]

devibs ruin the game skikll gap

[steel hawk]

with TTK changes, you are asking for dual balancing which balancing one set of gear is hard enough. I think for an LTM, it would be could just to allow multi-weapon and screw the balance. I still want a specialization that allows you to take an additional gadget instead of specialization

[violet wing]

☝️ To help people to find funnier games and possibly more durable teammates, how about an ingame team-creating lobby (rather than the underused LFG discord) ? Why not even put some kind of white board thing to set rules or establish the mood ?

[hazy swallow]

I can’t run the finals from steam without this popping up. What’s the solution?

[smoky gust]

so that the turret simply has more health
I'm decently sure cl-40's damage buff was made so it can 2-shot aps
that would basically just make that balance change pointless

just go invis
I just started seeing people use dash semi frequently after the cloak nerf
this would just incentivize people to use cloak again

and I don't really like the thought process of "dont like x? just use y"
its a bit like tf2 items sets
its balanced one way when used in a set, and balanced another way when not

similarly, the turret would be balanced one way when you have cloak/glitch and in other (more punishing way) when not

explosive mines one shotting lights would be part of the point of upgrading them, youre sacrificing a healing beam or dematerializer
don't get me wrong, that might make it balanced
but its not just balance, its about fun
being 1-shot is not fun, so it was changed
re-adding it (even if it comes with downsides) would reintroduce the frustrations tied to it
range would be a better choice there but I still got a bad feeling about it

and I agree with tuxedo
normally, specializations change how you play or what you can do

the upgrader would just make you play how you already do, just slightly stronger
it doesn't really add anything

so im just spitballing suggestions for specialisations that would contribute to this game
and by all means go ahead, I love to hear new ideas and discussing how we could balance it to improve the game
I just don't think that this is it

[kind light]

Why as soon as player disconnects from the game, his Class type disappears from the Scoreboard while all other stats is permanently visible???
Why i should click ESC as fast as i can just to view full scoreboard of the match to make some conclusions?

Please make scoreboard stable even when the player disconnected from the match. I like to learn something from every game but it makes everything else useless if i don't know class of the player.

Is that really hard to do if this exist from the release date?

[worn sigil]

Mediums already the most OP class, now you want a specialisation to buff things further? NANNIIII

[gleaming dragon]

PLEASE ADD BACK THE FAME POINT COUNTER I BEG

[fleet sedge]

Instead of nerfing stuff it will be better if the weak items get buffed.

[amber fern]

Suggestion: The cashout should not complete while it is being stolen

After countless hours on this game I've changed my mind on this. Defeating the defending team and getting to the cashout only for you to be a second short feels awful. You just have to sit there and watch the timer run out and there's nothing you can do.

Meanwhile there's no real benefit to it beyond 6 fewer seconds that the defenders have to guard it. While originally I liked the "rush" of not knowing if I'll have enough time, now I can tell for certain so it's either nbd or really unfun.

Plus it adds on a weird UI-based skill floor on how well you can read to cashout progress meter. Also adds a similarly weird metagamey skill floor of "nah they wouldn't have time to steal we can just leave".

Cashout fights would be way more intense if they weren't over until the cashout actual finished. Instead we just have an anti-climactic "not enough time gg"

[main knot]

I no more enjoying the game After points and crossplay change

[compact plank]

my only real disagreement with this is the part about this specialisation not changing the way you play, since its main application is favoured towards a much more defensively than offensively, whereas a specialisation like healing beam doesnt change much at all, people play the same and then just heal after a defib or when they see a hurt teammate, its much more general purpose than turret

also if you want to hear another specialisation idea i had, theres this one:

Heavy Specialisation: Ice Gun/Freezethrower

Similar in usage to the goo guns playstyle, in the sense that you are trading a direct combat specialisation for a support/area control specialisation. Its interactions would be like this (subject to change for balancing, these are just starting points):

• Can apply frost to walls/floors/ceilings. Shooting the surface for a short time will only add a thin layer of ice, which makes the surface slippery and immune to being set on fire (nearby fire can melt it though, or a flamethrower). If you continue to freeze a surface, the material itself will become icey and fragile, allowing it to be broken by guns or melee, like a slightly stronger glass. It would also make both sides of the surface slightly transparent, so it wouldnt be stealthy by any means
• Directly freezing a player will do little/no damage, but apply a slow debuff for debatable amount of time
• You could also freeze certain gadgets like mines or turrets to disable them, and the enemy would have to shoot the ice off the turret to enable it again, or directly shoot the mine to activate it
• Could be used to extinguish a teammate that is currently on fire, or any fire on the floor

the concept of ice could also be extended to barrels and grenades, athough im not sure if the barrels/nades would fully freeze the wall and allow it to be shot down, or if it would simply apply the slippery frost effect + fire immunity

[cyan torrent]

Melee weapons and basic melee no regs
Can hit (shows particles) yet it doesn't register
I've noticed it's worst when sliding/landing. Sword and sledge hammer are most affected.

Sledge hammer aim assist and hit reg is very inconsistent
Sledge would benefit greatly just from a hitbox increase and removal of the aim assist.
Many times I'll be basically touching someone and miss because my crosshair was a pixel away, or the aim assist will snap to someone I wasn't even looking at.

[timber hazel]

YES. GIVE OPTION TO REMOVE MELEE AIM ASSIST

[smoky gust]

I get where you're coming from
but if we change that we just cause another problem
3rd partying will be worse

currently, even if you die, you may still have a chance that the enemies keep fighting and end up wasting time
if we change it, then the team that had the effort of getting it (vault or stealing it) and then had even more effort defending it, will be punished even harder if they don't pull all the way

in the end it may be up to preference
but imo the team that had to get and defend it deserves the money more than the team that saw the timer, thought "yeah, thats enough time" and tried to capture, while it was not

tbh, we could probably use a game mode where that's not an issue to begin with
king of the hill maybe?
(I know we have power shift but imo it plays to differently alongside having new problems)

@compact plank

its main application is favoured towards a much more defensively than offensively
but it doesn't do that by itself
it only makes stuff stronger
if you have nothing to make stronger its useless
you already need to be playing defensively with mines, aps, etc. for it to change anything
its not the specialization that changes the way you play, its the gadgets
(except for the part with the walls but like you said, we have goo)


healing beam doesnt change much at all
on the surface, no
but it can change it up a quit bit
it incentivizes sticking close to teammates, which can be a very different experience from spreading out
it somewhat changes how you play, you swap aiming with guns to positioning
instead of shooting enemies, you position yourself around obstacles and teammates to make sure you don't die while you help them
not quit sure if I explained that well but it does feel different

(working on the ice thing now)

[stable lagoon]

I mean, that's kinda why it's supposed to be an LTM, balance is not the most important thing in it, so much as fun

[lime vortex]

Can we please make a better crosshair design system? A lot of people use third party software which makes it unfair to legit players so having the option to make bette crosshairs that stay on screen would help everyone have a fair game

[cinder ridge]

i have trouble understanding how a bug where you cant shoot your gun until you die has been in the game for weeks now[ @low star theres a bug that after you reload sometimes you just wont be able to shoot again until you die and respawn

[low star]

explaine

[crimson pier]

Exactly I feel that the 3rd party influence and luck doesn’t represent the true rank of players. By only having 2 teams it would make it much more accurate

[vocal rampart]

I've seen it asked before, but an option to disable aim assist for melee weapons would be great.

[wide falcon]

Thats the same as saying that you cant be ranked in a battleroyal cause out of 100 people sooner or later you will be having a 2v1 😐 just get gud

[kind light]

Please fix class names to be visible after the match! When the player disconnects from the match all of the data is saved but not the Class which is the most important thing!

[nova cloak]

The matchmaking and ranking system is a complete disaster. Diamonds are still playing against Silvers. My friends and I were about to hit Diamond 4. We won 4 tournaments in a row and got +2 arrows for each tournament win. We gained 1000 rankings on the leaderboard. Then we were knocked out once in the 2nd and once in the 3rd round and got -3 arrows both times. We lost 1000 rankings in 2 tournaments. That's just not fair. Moving on from the game. 🫡

[amber fern]

I mean it would be functionally identical to just having an extra 6 seconds on the cashout timer. That's the only disadvantage the defenders would have. If that's really the issue of contention, the timer can just be reduced to 114 seconds. Then it would be identical for all intents and purposes. It would just prevent the awkwardness of not knowing if there's enough time and being disappointed

[south gale]

Soooo still waiting on this progress bar for rank to be fixed

[rich galleon]

Embark, please let us spending VRs on the weapons leveling. Maybe with a diminshing value but to spend them on something

[heady zenith]

this 👌

[woven hawk]

Yeah that's why I wish every round in this game was THE FINALS

[smoky gust]

not a bad start, I could see that working in some capacity

which makes the surface slippery
that could be funny if used on the cashout, freeze below it and just shove it elsewhere

immune to being set on fire
might be hard to code
could also be used to cheese goo's fire weakness (if it applies to it)

become icey and fragile, allowing it to be broken by guns or melee
a useful destruction tool that isn't rpg?
nice

both sides of the surface slightly transparent
it wouldn't make sense to have it make walls transparent (I know its a virtual game show and doesn't really matter but it might ruin immersion and idk how to explain it, not rlly a fan))
but we could make walls turn an icy blue + white color on both sides to indicate freeze

slow debuff
debuffs often feel bad so I'm unsure
what about making running slippery, to make escaping in tight spaces harder?
would be funny if you could also apply it to yourself (and teammates?) and just slide at slightly higher than sprinting
(maybe crouching + quick melee should break the ice)

freeze certain gadgets
sounds fine, maybe make it a black and white with goo gun
goo gun disables sentries, while freeze doesn't
and freeze disables mines, which goo doesn't (<- my bad, i assumed it did, could probably apply to others though, maybe aps?)

extinguish
again, possible cheese with goo
not too sure about it, gut feeling

overall, a cool idea with potential

most players know that goo blobs only have 1 connecting point
I'm not sure if that knowledge is as common as you think it is, that point may also not always be accessible

but true, having 2 heavies both use something other than shield might balance it out a bit

[river plover]

(goo disables mines, If you shoot a goo blob at a mine it will stick to the mine and disarm it)

APS stops goo in the air, but you can overload an APS by shooting enough goo until it lets one through which clogs it up

[compact plank]

when i first thought it up and was telling my friend i did suggest you could freeze goo specifically and make it immune to fire, the only reason i would consider it balanced is because unless you have a surplus of goo canisters/nades, you would be required to run 2 heavies with goo gun/freezethrower respectively, whereas most team comps are based around mesh shield and healing beams

this immunity to fire is also partiallty balanced around the assumption that by now, most players know that goo blobs only have 1 connecting point, so you can simply shoot the base goo and the rest will fall, even for canisters and nades, meaning you dont HAVE to rely on fire to remove goo

also you made a good point about being able to make teammates slippery, combining that with the momentum gained from an angled jump pad or zipline and you could travel HELLA FAST across flat planes

[tawdry owl]

I was in a ranked game and the game crashed, tried to reopen it and it just said failed to connect and i pressed "retry" a few times and tried to relaunch again, the game wont even open the EAC window. Rather confused.

[celest tree]

ranked is in a shit place rn. why has the matchmaking been so ass for the past 3 days? it was perfect before, but now our all gold party never sees any other golds in the games. Like literally 5 for the past 20 tourneys. Just plats and diamonds. wtf

[coarse jetty]

no one in gold should ever be getting in all plat and diamond games

[near dew]

Add a mesh shield sens toggle

[worldly stirrup]

PLS FIX YOUR FREAKING RANKED SYSTEM ITS ASS AS AF

IT CANT BE THAT YOURE IN SEMI FINAL AND YOURE GETTING - POINTS AS A PLAT 1

[violet wing]

BUG : Found a ranked game, then got disconnected by the game (was still able to talk to my teammates), was unable to "reconnect" (tried 8 times), alt+f4, started the game as fast as I could to retry connecting and got the YOU ARE SUSPENDED message. Sooo.... yeah, not great. Love the game, but those problems seems to multiply lately, especially with ranked queues, what is going on ?

[little eagle]

Please implement some kind of system to let players leave the match without penality when others on the team have abandoned. I have played several matches with only one teammate now. It feels pointless. Even if we win one round we will probably lose the next one. So we have to go through the motions to not get an abandon penalty. Rainbow Six Siege has a nice system for this.

[glossy panther]

got this right now xD

[hearty grail]

i just got matched with one other dude xDD

[hearty sun]

new skin: ospuze mascot, similar to this but it's an ospuze can, maybe face still visible idk im not a design expert you guys figure it out

Game is a broke piece of shit

[abstract harbor]

Losing about 1/4 of my ranked tournaments to players crashing out and not returning to the game. FFS fix SOMETHING in this broken POS.

[pseudo latch]

Welcome to hitbox death hell, good luck telling where you can actually deal damage.

[amber fern]

Mine damage should not stack. I shouldn't be able to put 2 explosive mines on a zipline for a completely passive free kill. It's annoying to play against, and adds no value to the game. Same issue we had with nukes, but honestly fewer redeeming qualities

[pseudo leaf]

we need more ranks. getting to diamond is too easy it only requires to play a lot

[manic steppe]

I enjoyed almost making Diamond to not join a game then get supsended and loose all my progression

[hearty grail]

i would like to not get matched in a team of only 2 in ranked 😦 or at least not lose rank / lose less rank for getting knocked out, especially in the first round

[crimson pier]

Could be very fun honestly

[violet wing]

oh my god yes, so much yeeees

[woven hawk]

Ranked arrows 🏹⬆️💘 ONLY signify the LAST round you played. Each previous round has its own set of arrows you don't see.

[storm fiber]

I think it would be a really fun thing to add a bunch of 80s clothes to the game like baggy/parachute pants and like tie dye shirts, also like 80s workout clothes

[glossy panther]

Hi Embark, much love for all your efforts and love for the game!

I have a suggestion in mind that I would love to see implemented, I played Overwatch 2 a long time ago and the only thing that I had fun about in that game was the "player of the game" at the end of each game where they show the best clip of that player in that match & the endorsement system, it makes the game more immersive and engaging (it would be also very cool if Scotty and June talked about that clip and mocked players who got shit on for example).

Also, it would be amazing to have top stats players for each game for example (most kills) (most support) etc, as a healer myself it would be nice to be recognized for my support since most people think that only kills matter in this game

I wish you the best Embark, keep it up!

[reef jasper]

THIS

[abstract harbor]

Just lost another tournament because our teammate crashed and wasn't allowed to rejoin. Wonderful time, this game. Lost rank points, too. Jesus christ, this game is dying fast.

[upper citrus]

after they nerf the last few items that dont have any weaknesses yes

[violet wing]

Another great idea !! you guys are cooking.
The dystopian TV show aspect calls for that kind of stuff, i wish embark capitalizes on that a lot in the future.
Imagine seeing your character in a pose of your choice, or a replay of what you did displayed on the in-game giant screens, more reactive cheering, more specific comments from June and Scotty, there are so many cool possibilities.
I'm thinking of running man and that kind of movies since I first played the game.

[royal vault]

How are you gonna call it ranked when I get placed with a silver and gold whenever everyone else is diamond

[wary kraken]

At the end of the match, there should be a "Total" score that adds up the combat, support and objective score.
Too much emphasis is placed on eliminations or combat score being the first metrics reported.
More emphasis should be placed on your overall performance.

[pseudo latch]

Can’t wait for heavies ninth public disemboweling in May

[visual mountain]

Yes!!! I feel that the game should totally try to make the announcers/the whole gameshow vibe much stronger! It's super cool of an idea and what they got is really cool, but I feel they need a few more stuff to really make the whole gameshow aesthetic pop more

[violet solstice]

**REVERT CLOAK BACK TO WHAT IT WAS!! **Nerfing the weakest class in the game & making it even weaker was a bad mistake. The devs need to admit the mistake & walk it back. The Devs also need to stop trying to pander to all the whiners in here because whiners are always going to whine & are just a noisy minority. All you have to do is look at this game feedback, since the Devs pandered to the noisy minority over the Cloak nerf & made Light even weaker now the whiners have turned their attention to whining about H & M nerfs they now want.

[open tusk]

Just wanted to make a positive feedback for once because I personally love the game. Im really addicted to it !

I haven't been this hyped for a FPS since Titanfall 2.

Thank you so much for giving us a game this fun and challenging at the same time !

Of course balancing is not perfect but it's extremely hard to balance a game with so much different builds.
Don't forget that the game is new and that it takes time to evolve and that it will never be perfect.

So thank you Embark for your great work and you have all my support for the future ❤️

[gleaming dragon]

its impossible to rank up, im plat 4 in the past few hours I have won the finals once gotten to third round 3 times gotten to second round 4-5 times and still havent ranked up while my buddy who has only played with me and I have only played with him ranked up to plat 3, is it because he got more kills then me support score or what???

[humble path]

Disemboweled 8 times and still meta that's crazy

[fleet sedge]

Yes but when you nerf items the players that use them are not happy. So when you buff other iitems instead it keeps the most amount of players happy.

[cinder ridge]

text chat, bug where cant shoot gun, bug where fire go through wall. also just played a game of cashout where i spawned in and the game was over before i could fight anyone(30 seconds( solo bc the entire team left already )

[hollow breach]

please turn this channel into a forum. I don't know how any dev is able to read this channel. I honestly doubt it's being read at all. It's inefficient

[proven snow]

Any plans to implement a sensitivity when scoped option for Gyro controls?

It's getting frustrating having to change my zoomed sensitivity everytime I use the bolt action because there is no separate setting for scoped zoom sensitivity vs ads u scope sensitivity

Prop hunt when

[willow leaf]

This game would be better if they removed the medium class

[haughty sapphire]

Snipers need a nerf. Power shift is basically unplayable in games with loads of light sniper classes. Losing interest in power shift because of it.

[gleaming bobcat]

I like the game.

[knotty orchid]

I keep getting into games where it's just the loading screen and I can hear sound of the game already starting but I'm stuck on the loading screen and when I restart the game I can't reconnect and it's causing me to get penalized because I can't connect back into the ranked game im playing and I lose my rank.

[wary dragon]

Amazing game the best game I played in forever you guys just keep working hard and this game will be the best

[wanton lark]

Jogo mó daora slc

[wet herald]

So you want a weapon nerfed solely because of a game mode? Nah its fine.

I love using the sniper. In anything other than powershift, it forces to you to try and play closer ranges. It can be punishing yet very rewarding

That being said, I still hate playing against those who sit in their spawn with them in power shift. So I just melt them in their spawn and target them till they switch off or lose the game. Problem solved

[torpid seal]

this game have the best battle pass in the history and not like the same games like valorant and forntnite and more game its bored and no Animation no nothing and just shape and this game the finals have the best battle pass in the world have Animation and Different shape in weapon. good job and thanks you embark studios and this is the best game for ever keep going like this and i want after 1 year to change the graphics to more realistic. I hope that you develop on graphics to be more realistic. because i want to see this game after 10 year develop on graphics and thanks

[night surge]

Cheating is the only thing they should focus on right now really
The entire game is ruined as long as there are hackers
every time I jump off the game only because of the amount of hackers I had to deal with every game
Yes that’s right u heard me hackers with an S PLURAL!
the final round right now is just hacker vs hacker lol
we literally don’t care about the updates anymore because of the hackers, especially Asia server
DO SOMETHING THANK YOU

[fleet sedge]

We need a way to 👍 things we like. ⭐ ideas we love. And ❌ stuff we do not like. So then the devs can see what we think needs to be add at a glance instead of having to read through all of it.

[covert pagoda]

👍

[glossy panther]

I love reading positive/constructive feedback in this chat, it gives me hope in players since this chat has been all about whining for a while.
if you're one of them, thank you for being a nice person.
if you're not, know that nobody cares about your whining unless you say it in a behaved way.
be nice. devs are humans too and they're working hard to improve the game day by day.

[abstract harbor]

Every single ranked tournament, I'm either A. matched with 2 players that are ranked FAR below me, and essentially throw the match, or B. one or more of them disconnects during the loading screen and never rejoins the game, and of cou8rse we lose. How is this even considered playable?

[final slate]

feels like i cant play the game anymore, solo que is only tolerable in quick play, and its impossible to find anyone that uses mics in lower ranks, which is the main reason i want to play this game. even using the lfg i cant find anyone, if youre wondering ive been putting in lfgs for a while at this point.

[shell nexus]

Try to party up with some randoms or even good opponents if u see they're missing 1/2

[proven ibex]

Only For Deep Pockets achievement I picked BankIt for the first time. Oh man, this mode is underrated af and a gift for solo players like me. First time ever I picked light for this (for 150 wins achievement) , after couple of trials I settled with dash and sword and I'm having a blast.

I observed teammates don't even get mad if you don't revive them, they don't spam too. Even they do the same when you're dead. I'm either playing BankIt or ranked, I'm enjoying BankIt more than Quickcash.

PowerShift is my love but I stopped playing it coz cashedout money not showing up under Deep Pockets, wish they fix this.

But BankIt is in right place for solos like me, wish they don't consider removing it like last time 🙂

[ionic bane]

Only giving feedback because this game is f*cking amazing. 1. If possible better optimization. 2. more music tracks. 3. hackers are a hue problem. 4. Better/more custimization options

[lusty gyro]

i have backed out and been put into the same match 6 times now, that’s fucking unacceptable

[north gulch]

Kinda feel like heal gun should have a little less capacity

[haughty sapphire]

Didn't ask. This is a game feedback section.

[dawn hazel]

plz make a prestige system. i have been stuck at level 50 since the day the level cap increased. it would give alot of people reason to play.

[wet herald]

Cool. What I said was also feedback was it not? Just an added comment. Get good then

[nimble plinth]

Hey ! QQ - has there been any considerations around adding a visual indicator of "who is alive" on the other teams on the UI? This would help players develop better game sense + make them more aware, therefore modify their strategy on the fly. This is already available but requires the player to check the scoreboard ~ but its less effective as it requires them to tab out of a sweat fest.

[dreamy river]

Just like last season, after completing the battlepass, wich can be done in 2 weeks, there is no actual reason to keep playing, after 2-3 matches the game just feels repetitive (everyone use the same loadouts lol).

Bank it is an awesome idea in solos, there was no reason to remove it.

Also the weekly updates should bring actually new content to the game, not just an item shop refresh with maybe 2 new items and nerf things that no one is complaining about.

[fleet sedge]

Yes but when you respond with "did not ask" it just makes you sound like you are trying to rile people up. Or in other words it makes you sound like a troll.

[obsidian pond]

full of damn hackers this game dyinggggg

[cold pilot]

• Veil#4926
  wallhacker, aimbot
  with default build

this game is fkin full of wallhack cheaters in
I play powershift on Oceania wtf that not even a ranked?
have you even try to do your job?

[glacial storm]

buff the ks-33 damage to 110, change its range, rate of fire and projectile speed to be closer to pre patch. the gun had a good niche doing 120 damage. its so weak doing 100, it combos with nothing to reduce ttk anymore

[violet wing]

Cheaters have been a PLAGUE for every PvP FPS for a while, it's an ongoing fight and if they did nothing we would still have people using insanely visible cheats like in season 1. If the devs weren't doing their job, we would have a situation like the one CS is going through right now, a total debacle, and we do not. In fact I would say it has improved since launch. So yeah they're trying to do their job. Maybe start looking around at the global state of cheating before making assumptions on embark's level of investment in the matter. Or blame the growing cheat selling business. Or encourage them to try harder. Suggest them new ideas to fight it ? Learn how to code a better anti-cheat system that what we have today?... See, doing that would make more sense.

[misty jasper]

Agreed. People are still brainless and blaming devs for something they're doing their best to control. Embark DOES NOT WANT CHEATERS in their game..There are steps to banning a cheater. You can't just ban everyone who gets reported. Plus there are plenty of reports that might just be due to a gap in skill.

[daring fossil]

yeah at least we dont have full auto infinite ammo grenade launchers and dudes meleeing people across the map anymore. At worst we just have aimbotters shooting through shields now.

[real moon]

but it also doesn't change the fact that there is a cheater in almost every single ranked match and they can go a week without being banned

[plush grotto]

Yea it’s pretty annoying. I find playing on Wednesday after updates can help. I hope they greatly improve the anti cheat. It’s a buzz kill getting hackers in your lobby. But on a side note, most hackers I’ve ran into are dogshit at the game and rely on aimbot, so if you can drop the cheater the team folds. Still sucks though. I’ve had a game where 3rd round was 3 teams with cheaters on them. We would force them to fight each other and grief the aimbotters so we could go on to final round. Sadly it meant aimbotter in final and we couldn’t really do anything because it was through wall aimbot 😅

[shadow stirrup]

The heal gun has single handedly made this the stalest meta I have ever seen in and FPS less than a year old. Wild that every other meta item has received a nerf except for the one item that needs it.

I think the invis grenade lasts longer than the ability at this point, or its at least close, I think y’all are going a little too far with these nerfs

[past steeple]

The entire RANK system is BROKEN, to get higher tier, you just put a lot of time into it, the skill is not determined by how your skill is improved.

In general, when we play the competitive game, we expect the other players who is in the same tier as myself that have a proper skill to their rank, like "okay he is the diamond 4 which is highest rank in this game, so he could know how to play this game as team" But, in my experience, almost of them were playing like a lowest rank player. It makes me getting frustrated so much because there is no ADVANTAGE TO CLIMB UP. Now I lost the hope that what if i climb up hard, i would meet more decent players, but Now i know There never will be. So i stopped to play ranked tourney for now.

[cerulean vortex]

Idea: introduce the concept of a secondary item that’s fixed for each class. For light, that’s stun gun. For medium, that’s defib. And for Heavy, that’s C4.

That introduce more variety in the gadget section

[broken lake]

we really need to promote more wacky variety in the game. Since that's when the finals feels the best.

Melee weapons and throwing knives should get a buff because of that. The new heavy shotgun should destroy walls in two shots, etc.

I hope the upcoming patch will promote chaotic variety instead of this safe pseudo cod style meta we've had for so long.

[vale acorn]

https://youtu.be/4OZkCXbbEJw i want an egg suit

[olive wraith]

Light is the highest DPS class, I'm sick of people saying whiners suck wehn they whine themselves.

[rose surge]

Since the cloak update, light is once again back to being trash. Dps doesn't matter when lights health is so much lower. Light shooting medium while medium shoots light will always result in light dying first. Lights have to get the first .3-.8 seconds of shots off before taking damage or they will lose. After the upcoming stun gun update, light might as well be deleted. Tbh, I've already quit the game after the cloak nerf. It was the only playstyle that I enjoyed, but it's whatever. I'm starting to cope. There are other games that don't have devs which make such drastic decisions (14.2% to 33% is insanity).

[midnight bison]

why no text chat in this game? already been 6 months since launch and this is the worst ranked experience ive seen in my entire life

[hearty sun]

2nded

[final slate]

cloak was already easy to see through, and light is still pretty good with dash, also you arent meant to take head on engagements as a light, only unfair fights, that is the playstyle, also the higher movement and smaller hitbox means that in most engagements you can outmaneuver and as long as your aim is good you can win the fight

[jovial viper]

and they still want to nerf cloak even harder, really a shame, the ability is fun, but it may as well just get replaced by something else after that

[broken lake]

I'm gonna wait 23 minutes just to make fun of you for this take, lol

if you think light having the on paper "highest DPS" somehow disqualifies it from being a bad class, it's just not true.

especially in an environment where a heavy RPG, wayward mine, or charge takes over 90% of your health in a single go. The damage you can output in a second only matters if you're not instantly dead within a second.

The cloak nerf as well has been overboard. They probably should've just nerfed the actual visibility from the start and left the charge alone if they were going to do anything. Cause if they don't give it corresponding buffs when they make it more visible next week or whenever, it's gonna be genuinely awful.

On a class that already leaned on it incredibly heavily to just stay alive for any duration of time.

You already get an earrape notification whenever a light is within any decent distance of you. It now lasts barely any time, and you need a third of the recharge to activate it. You can get knocked out of it with one titch of damage and on top of that they're gonna make it so you're much more visible.

All on a class that has never, in the ENTIRE history of the game, been in the meta. Even during the betas

[cerulean vortex]

The devs are solving the wrong problem. They think that by balancing the combat system it’ll make it perfect. What they should really focus is making sure every play style is fun to play. And that’s fine if certain things are OP but every class should have some fun op stuff to play with. Otherwise game feels like shit for casuals

[rose surge]

I know the playstyle, I'm actually pretty good with light lmao. Cloak just allowed light to get "the drop" on unsuspecting, isolated players a lot easier. Dash and grapple are both super loud and they actually work against this recommended playstyle you speak of. In order for light to be effective, it must be played with stealth. Lastly, size of hitbox doesn't matter much at higher levels of play. The only advantage light has then is the speed, which is good.

Cloak shouldn't have been nerfed so hard. This is a great case of a company making a terrible decision to cater to casual players who would have never enjoyed the game much anyways. They should, instead, listen to the players that love the game with hundreds of hours of time in it. Nope. They decided to give a big FUCK YOU to those players. It's sad really. Oh well.

[keen path]

lots of cheating pigs!

[grave kettle]

Let us see our fame points. I am plat 2 and have won a tournament, gotten second, had a 3rd place 2nd round exit, then got second and am still plat 2. It makes no sense

[quick coyote]

As long as the game is F2P the cheaters will always be back on a new account

[abstract harbor]

This game has been such a massive, shitty disappointment. My god, it is so atrociously bad. "Casual" my ass.

[broken lake]

I 100% agree with this. A game is good when it has unique stuff to draw people to it.

but most of the unique weapons and playstyles are just genuinely garbage, because the devs have been too scared to really let them shine.

[tame crag]

I think it would be interesting for lights invisibility specialization to be replaced to something unique to them.

I suggest it becomes passive movement abilities. Such as heightened jump, alongside a double jump. It could include an increased sprint speed and longer slides. And the last thing I think should be included is a reduced cooldown to health regeneration

[quick coyote]

why replace instead of just add as new one? cloak has its value in the game, its not some useless spec lol

[hexed chasm]

give heavies drivable, explosive cars as a gadget that 1 shot lights

[dull merlin]

I think so many people have said this before. But, since the FAMAS is a longer range rifle, why does it have such a terrible scope? From further distances, I can't even see them half the time. And especially when people are closer. It also is just a nuisance to have to repeatedly click just to shoot and makes less focus go to aiming. Maybe you can do it how must games do it: hold down left click and it bursts on it's own.

[subtle saddle]

I agree I think there would be less complaints if it was something like throwing knives being the most busted

[trim plank]

it takes too long to rank up pls fix 🙂

[grave kettle]

I have now won 2 tournaments, had 2 second places and a 2nd round exit and am still plat 2. How is that possible?

If ranking up gets slower the higher we go, we should be able to see it. Bring back the progression bar so we can at least understand what it takes to rank up as we keep playing

[eager ivy]

i agree bring back the progression bar

[rare rock]

add rocket jumping to the rpg! get rid of most of the damage and make it destruction and mobility!

[near dew]

Pls give heavy a mesh sens slider

Remove light class from game 2.6.0

This is just what u call a simple "skill issue"

[drifting gorge]

Remove the game from game 2.6.0

[cedar haven]

I know this is going to be lost by the gazillion messages of people malding about the most useless complaints ever, but heres an idea.

Desert Eagle

Heavy Build

Can aim downsight, Ironsights.

Bodyshot - 90 Headshot - 180 (x2)

Falloff damage starts at 40m, max falloff is 70m

The gun recoils up slightly after being shot, (Like the R .357) causing around a 3 second gap between shots.

The Desert Eagle and hold 5 bullets, along with one chambered. It has a reload time of around 2-3 seconds.

The Desert Eagle is a staple weapon within many shooters, and one of the most iconic pistols in gaming. Instantly recognizable, it is seen as a mix between a sniper and a revolver. I think this can fit the heavy build perfectly. Heavy currently doesn't have any reliable long-distance weapons, making it less viable in some circumstances. A more long ranged weapon that can deal damage from afar can really help the class and make new playstyles, as a decently longed ranged weapon will no longer be light exclusive. With it’s current restrictions, it can be very punishing for the user if they dont use it properly. (ex. Heavy cant camp behind shields or barriers for a while as the weapon fires slowly, giving the enemy time to approach.) Of course this is just an idea, and everything can be changed. Just wanted to put this in someones head. Love the game

[quick coyote]

[trim plank]

real asf bring back the progress bar

[next oxide]

The option to change between soundtracks of the different seasons would be nice. S2 music is nice but I prefer S1's way more

[quick coyote]

if the ranking system truly rewards first place and punishes second place, it needs to be changed. if this isnt the way the ranking system works, please address the community. the game has lost all strategic value considering the player base are all shooting for first rather than attempting to place. it has made for a messy and unfun competitive environment

[willow leaf]

This game would be better if they removed the medium class

[untold meadow]

FIX THE FCKING RESPAWNS!!! worser than last season, literally going to make people stop playing cause of it.

[subtle saddle]

ECONOMICS THE ERRADICATION OF THE MIDDLE CLASS

[keen heath]

I wish you could save your own outfits and they are under a special tab that lets you change your look post game but after that you cant change it anymore

[abstract wolf]

lets leave the game, this shittiest dev giving us fked up decision almost after the season 2 release, there is no reason to play the game anymore, RIP console player RIP embark RIP the finals RIP "the most potential esport game"

[slender oasis]

yo yea this would be dope af

[cursive tide]

All i wanna see is my rank progression and not those arrows going up and down

[hardy torrent]

Would love for the game to have a character customization system, similar to like blade and soul.

[upper citrus]

This would be cool but also heavy is generally designed against having good long range options

[daring fossil]

can you prioritize picking up statues over props, twice in a hand full of matches I've tried grabbing a statue only to grab a fire barrel or something that was further away.

[celest tree]

remove stun gun

[fervent roost]

we need to buff the daggers and tune a few melee weapons to be fair to the meta the games stuck using the same crappy weapons and it gets stale aswell as us get a chat bar and a way to invite people on if there in match or watch

[forest elm]

Add a earthquake that's strikes one area at one area only

Like on souel one of the 5 (6 if the map has the under construction condition) one of them collapse

[blazing loom]

Add an visual effect to heavy when they slam on the ground where it shows waves of thunder on impact

[teal minnow]

What r you yapping about?

[calm sonnet]

Would it be a bad idea if we would be able to equip all animations for the guns in the same time?

[ruby brook]

we need buffs BIG buffs almost every patch is nerfing something we had a system where everything could compete light could fry heavys heavys could fry lights and the med is a good middleground every patch is centered around the casual playerbase for a game wich is thematically lined with reaching the finals ie comp thixxy said it best "this game was never made to be competitive but sell that idea through its universe" we have a system where lights in casual are seen as overpowered where in comp your hard throwing if you pick it we cant have a divide that seperates casual from the competitive because you can never please both parties hot take use casual to onboard players for the competive experience like how siege/overwatch/cod has been doing competitve isint a bad thing you just need players to get interested and want to play i love this game and have been keeping up with it since early alpha but its sad to see you guys going down the power creep route where you guys absolutely cook some banger updates solving real issues and then we get an update massacaring weapons that never stuck out in the meta

[rapid dove]

Hi everyone, I would like to talk to you about the current state of the meta, especially in how it is being used. Currently in ranked matches, the meta focuses on items that are good most of the time. This is normal because we cannot change items, so we have to take what works best on average. I find this unfortunate because, for example, in casual matches, it is possible to change items (like in Overwatch) and therefore adapt more easily to the enemy's equipment.

To make it clearer where I'm going with this, we have elements in the game - gas, fire, glue - each countering one another. However, why take a fire grenade if nobody is taking a glue grenade (especially since we can't know the enemy's equipment in advance)? Why take a gas grenade if nobody has a fire grenade, etc.? With the ability to change equipment during the match (in ranked matches), it would be possible to create effective real-time strategies, which I believe would be much more interesting to play and watch.

[grave ivy]

fix the ranking system, it is not possible that I have to derank in the semi-final because I am against the diamonds and in the team I have Goofy and Donald Duck and it has become almost impossible to rank in plat 1

[manic prairie]

can we please already get rid of "ghost" doors already.... it started end of season 1 and it's still going on. kinda keep complicated things when there is also cloack...and no hate but game is kinda stale after 1000h and only these maps 😔 i bet community would even make those maps just if we would have some kind of tools for it...

[proud eagle]

Lots of these in game now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

just scroll my old comments, youll get understand im too tired to explaining and not get listened by these devs

out of 16 teams, like 12 lose elo above plat 2. it's terrible and demotivating

[rough herald]

APS: Proactivity and fck your projectile problem (you know i really want this change as its Day 10 of asking)

Notes:
. to start off, i love the idea of the aps, the ability of being able to defend an area locking down a room is fun
. but its just unfair in some situation all because the "fck your projectile" part of APS.
for a weapon like the GL that shoot projectile you basically lose the fight automatically
. and for powershift its basically mandatory to win (that gamemode need a rework tbh)
. its also a one and done. meaning once you place it down it just stay there forever

Suggestion:
. (fck your projectile) either make it so it take damage with each projectile destroy. Or it can only destroy 5 projectile then broke
. and also give it a 3 second activation time like the turret have
. (One and Done) make it lose hp overtime

side note: for the love of RN-Jesus just let me play with my fav gun cl-40 Without a aps fcking me over.
Like How are you suppose to kill someone WHO CAN"T TAKE DAMAGE??? its like playing riot shield without the shield
(embark pls fix )

[abstract wolf]

yup, youre reply is exacly what dev reaction about people complaining and feel about their game, they r doesnt care if people leaving the game, right? thats why this game nearly dead

[quick coyote]

its basically random who gets diamond this season. the game expects you to be undisputedly better than 15 other teams who are supposedly in your rank, which is so unrealistic. winning went from being about math and enter strategy to what is basically a hardpoint mode—except youre outnumbered 3 to 1. lets hope embark figures it out soon, im tired of missing out on diamond rewards for ridiculous reasons (hardstuck plat 1)

oh, and hidden mmr also means that as a plat im going up against only diamonds, so thats another thing to consider when speaking about the state of emblem rank

[stable lagoon]

Nah, you don’t need that much nerf on it.

Just add a projectile limit on it, after reaching which it goes into a cooldown.

Like if it blocks 5 projectiles within 10 seconds, it goes into cooldown for 5 seconds during which it will not block any more projectiles.

Also remove it's ability to block through walls, that's just bullshit.

[vapid crystal]

Basically everything you explained form your idea I can't agree with. a 3 second time between shots? lol, lmao even.
But I do love the idea of a deagle in the finals, and of course the heavy class is great for it! I even love your quick sketch of the gun so I polished it (like 1% lmao but I just really like it)
What can make it interesting, (just as what I have previously recommended for the new slug shotgun) is a knockback modifier, which makes the target be pushed back and (slightly) disoriented (by making their point of aim shift ever so slightly off target)
This way we can give it a normalised damage and rof, say 70 damage per shot, at a rate of fire somewhat slower than the r.357 (which itself should shoot faster imo) and still give it a mag size of 7 plus the knockback modifier giving it a special reason to take it, letting the heavy hit skillshots to also interrupt enemies.

And yeah, these messages get lost between the endless tornado of negativity, so as always: Love for Embark, you got this guys - Don't give up!

[edgy iris]

I find this mechanism where my sentry and mines getting destroyed after I die very infuriating, that's my feedback.

[pseudo latch]

I’m not entertaining this. If you don’t like the game go away, we don’t want your negativity

[signal gate]

Not liking the game or having negative feedback is 100% valid. This channel isn’t here just for praise but criticism needs to have a purpose. Being disrespectful to people’s livelihood and providing no real complaint or how you think it should be fixed adds absolutely 0 value though.

[turbid tree]

I agree about the time for activation. After a series of repulsed attacks, it will break, but the game has a "fix" mechanic when you can remove the gadget and put it back on, and it will be as new.

[proud eagle]

[rough herald]

this is an enemy barrier you're seeing, and there's an enemy heavy behind there. POP Quist!
is he peeking me and about to shoot me and i lose the fight right after?... pls give us opacity ui option

(the real answer is im the dead body and we traded killing each other behind that shield. also don't mind my name lol)

@turbid tree i think that is ok tho. for the **reward **of fixing the aps he take the risk of an enemy pushing him when his aps is still in it 2-3sec activation time (assuming they add my suggested change)

[mortal rose]

this game is unique, so are your anticheat, EASY-anticheat for a reason

Taser tag
Gamemode

1-2 players get tasers (depends on amount of total players)
All others just get their choice of light special + a goo nade/gateway

Dear all Embark Devs,
Please take some rest and filter some unreasonable complains and make the things you guys truly enjoy or think that its right. You guys did very well, really. you dont need to listen to all player complaining, just be yourself and update the game based on your liking,not on others. Games are to adapt not complain so please just be yourself and make bold tries!
Best Regards,

Take your time with the next update. I'm really excited for that new mode and/or Horizon. The addition of Powershift was amazing, thank you for all the content

[primal spoke]

Make it so we can buy individual skins in a bundle, sometime we only like 1 but don't wanna buy the whole thing

[cedar forum]

The desert eagle would be a fucking laser if the heavy's wrist can handle firing 7 rounds in a few seconds

[paper ivy]

it would be rly cool if we were able to earn multibucks outside of just the battlepass, especially since it seems like a lot of the updates seem to be cosmetic items. Dont get me wrong I love to support the game, I got the battlepass and some stuff outside of it but especially since anyone whos been playing the game for longer then a few weeks is full on VRs with nothing to spend them on untill the next season. I think it would be cool if we could transfer our VRs into multibucks even if it was a small return rate or maybe we could use them to spin a wheel of fortune where you could potentially earn bucks, a t shirt, or a gun skin, ext. Just a thought

[onyx pebble]

Lol my brother that's entirely why they are bundles. The point is for you to buy more than you need/want

[obsidian imp]

lmao its actually silly how many AK skins they are pumping out

does anyone has trouble in match making in ranked in asia after updating? i

[pliant lion]

Excited to see what you guys are working towards with the bigger content update, keep up the good work! This has easily been the best shooter released in the last 10 years, even despite its minor shortcomings from time to time

I do like to share an idea to make the mesh shield less infuriating to play against. Consider making the shield not block bullets entirely, but let it significantly decrease the damage done by them within a certain range. Bullets hitting the shield from the front can "fizzle out" and deal reduced damage (for example 10% of the original damage) within 0-5m behind the shield and be completely harmless after 5m. The health of the shield can go back up to, for example, 1250 or something again as any targets behind the shield are not invulnerable. This would make the shield more of a buffer for the heavy carrying it and less of an "emergency panic button" when their HP gets low. In this case enemies can still finish off a heavy that deploys the shield when they're at 20 hp if they keep shooting. The heavy's teammates can work around the damage range by standing back a little farther, which makes them easier to flank if your team is paying attention.

Currently the mesh shield is (in my opinion) a little too strong if you're in a 1v1 setting and you're not at point blank range. You can't damage the shield enough to finish the player carrying it, regardless of what HP they were at when they deployed it.

[nimble steppe]

Jus wanted to tell you embark I love this game so much haven’t been this addicted to a game since early days of apex, this for sure is my favorite of all time yall and the cosmetics bro 😮‍💨 keep up the good work only thing I hope to see is haptic adaptive trigger support for ps5 other then that y’all been killing it 💪🏾❤️

There is already a penalty for leaving ranked matches, unless you want a penalty for people who leave casual games in which case, no

[dire lance]

every other ranked game has cheaters today, ranked is almost unplayable at this point

but there isnt even some one else joining afterwards. i really enjoy your powershift mode but everysingle game one of the teams is ending up on a disadvantage. is there a way to fill up the lobby quicker? :S

ohh that so interesting, because i've been often complaining from season 2 releases with the reason ofc and even with solution what should developers do, are they listening us? be honest to yourself, please check my old comment you'll understand what i've complaining so much until it makes me sick of this game.

trust me, i really love this game i've grind hundred of hours in my xbox and I DO want to this game successful by blowing up again like back in open beta, but you will get my point, im just hating on developers, because they have made "THE MOST UNIQUE & MOST POTENTIAL ESPORT SCREEN" WASTED!

[crisp bobcat]

ladies and gentlemen, we got em.

[drowsy stump]

They have yet to get back with me on why I can’t play. I’ve spent money on this game and this means nothing. I’m trying everything possible to fix my game. They have no explanation to what is goin on nor even tried to explain it. I’ve tried all the methods to contact them. Public announcement to be careful trying to recover anything or even trying to contact them they will not answer.

[dull elm]

Just wanted to say that not having a patch today and a bigger one next week is a very very good choice. I personally wouldn't mind it normally becoming like this

Good job dev team!

Then keep it valid complaints instead of venting
Things are read but not everything you think needs to change should change and things that may be the right direction take time to implement
Some things don't make sense to change mid season for example

[frigid iris]

Nice

[rough herald]

embark, im gonna be real with you here. for the love of mercy and all that holy just pls fix your anti cheat

@gusty wagon it because moving/rolling goo balls. it happen alot on that platform gamemode (idc to play it)
although i do see it as a feature

[gusty wagon]

keep getting stuck in stationary goo when walking or standing near it

[fickle linden]

There's no "wasting", there's just development that aims for fun first and amping up the competitiveness with time.
You're entitled to your opinion, but if you really love the game, please put some trust into the dev team.

[acoustic crown]

I personally think it would be very cool if embark added quick melee skin like in heirlooms in apex legends, imagine if you have a butterfly knife or brass knuckles instead of hitting someone with your elbow

[white lily]

So we're in fortnite

[vestal basin]

I know some streamers use swords only, and they have invested so much time practicing it to become real good
Most sword players arent that good (Sword is nerfed already), if you know how to aim (Never saw them in gold+ lobbies)

Its not like the free camos dont technically evolve the more we use them

[worn sigil]

When I'm playing cross-play with a friend, I can never find the "potential cheaters" or Sus players name in the recent list, so I can never report anyone after the match because also the names after never in order of rounds played either.

I'm on PS5 and play against PC (as friends on PC) so it shows up as either Embark name or Steam name but not both so I can't tell who it is 🤔
Aka their in game name on the scoreboards is different to the recent players list name.

[river plover]

I dont think anyone is allowed to complain about melee weapons until they have tried them for 50 hours in platinum 👍all the melee weapons take an insane amount of time to get good at and they dont even work 30% of the time they are extremely unrelyable

[crisp bobcat]

Ohhhh it gets worse when you get into diamond. Ranked progression and matchmaking need major work but the team is aware and at least trying to improve it. I think this season has been better with matchmaking - you definitely still get lobbies where you may be playing teams ranked well above you - but I definitely feel like as a diamond player both seasons I face a lot more diamonds/high plat than last season. It will get better with time - I think something else that’s desperately needed is an explanation of what goes into progression vs regression and a better way to track progress

[dull elm]

Please add this to the game!!! It would make me very happy
I have no idea what it is but hey, that's just art.

Imo focus should currently be on getting ahead of cheaters + improving the ranked experience for everyone… other than that I love the game.
Unfortunately small issues often tend to really darken the positive side of the game easily since cheaters and stuff like that are just extremely frustrating to see… last ranked final I played was just ridiculously pointless due to a cheater on the other team, the joy of reaching the final vanishes easily when acknowledging such an unfair cheating experience

Please add some reasonable leaver penalties. A 15 minute cooldown for leaving in casual modes would be totally fine for now. That way it's faster to finish the match (instead of leaving and immediately queueing for the next one) without being overly harsh towards people who a connection issue every now and then.
Maybe even escalate it for repeated leavers (like leaving x out of your last 10 matches), but just do something to penalize leaving the match.

Also it would be great to see if reports did something. CSGO showed a notification when you log in that a player you reported had action taken against them. It doesn't need to have details about the penalty or who it was, just some affirmation that reports do something

[pliant wind]

A 15 minute cooldown for leaving in casual gamemodes is ridiculous, they're casual for a reason. If there were to be a penalty it should be 5 minutes, maybe escalating to 10 mins. There should be a leaver penalty for tournaments tho

I wish console players had the option to play with other consoles (e.g. ps5 and Xbox)

[grave ivy]

it is a rank system that only benefits those who play in a group, but the problem is if I go soloq and find 2 people playing in a group and they are silver and gold I get them in a group, and against me 3 diamonds in group or all plat, makes sense right? In the old ranking system even if you miraculously passed the first round you still ranked at least a little, now I derank even if I reach the semi-final with randoms, so how can I rank???

[kind light]

Fix the issue with classes disappearing as soon as the player disconnects from the lobby. After every tournament round, I cannot see HALF of the lobby classes because they leave instantly.

[white lily]

We stopped playing because we got 3 arrows down every time we lost the final round. I mean, one down or maybe two.. ok.. but not 3 after managing to go into the final against other diamonds

[odd coyote]

I suggest that developers would add playlist shuffle to menu. This games OST is probably the best game musics that I’ve ever heard. I enjoyed the s1 musics more than s2 musics so I suggest that you added the ability to choose playlists and skip specific songs like in rocket league menu

[sudden tangle]

Make this game a competitive game, casual gaming has no place in 2024 and will die out

[frank ravine]

Anyone else getting disconnected from the game between ranked tournament rounds ??

[plush shell]

I suggest updating the game engine to 5.4 in a future patch, as well as updating all available upscaling solutions to newer versions like DLSS to 3.7.0, XeSS to 1.3, and FSR to 3.1 (when that version gets released in the upcoming few weeks). UE 5.4 brings more optimizations which make the performance better and that should improve the general game experience for people in combination with the updated better upscalers. Also, add DirectStorage api to improve loading, there are times where all players are stuck to a loading screen for the match due to singular users with slower machines, and DiSto can eliminate/lower that.

[graceful hollow]

plat 2, not gaining elo unless we get to the final round, went down 2 arrows for losing in THIRD round

[outer turtle]

Private match needs upgrade. We've recently played with friends 3x3 and had lot of fun, but also had lot of issues. You can't choose team, can't change game mode without restarting a lobby. Frequently some of players just didn't connect the game and we had to restart lobby everytime this happened. So, private match now looks incomplete, it would be nice to add more options and versatile settings to it, make it more stable to fully enjoy the competition with our friends

[clear quest]

hit plat 1 and unless we get to the final round we lose elo?

[misty schooner]

Its near on impossible to balance a game at a class level with such a variation in play style from ranked to casual. Lights thrive in casual as they thrive in chaos and picking off loose teammates, in ranked its played tight and organised which then nullifies that advantage, even If they implemented character swapping mid game in causal it may ease certain lobbies but there is no easy way to do it, at the moment they are bouncing in between and Modes like platform make the discrepancy even higher. Removing standard tournaments for more one round quick play modes add to this further.

is it possible to implement crossplay for only consoles only? i understand the queues times would be a drag, call it skill issue but i usually never experience cheating this bad, so having consoles seperate on their own server would make it easier

[frank ravine]

Anyone else getting disconnected from tournaments between rounds ? I can’t finish a full tournament for more than a month now !!

[alpine wren]

I've never really complained about the meta, but I have to admit that it's shattered.

When you play medium you can simply do nothing, the only viable weapons are countered by light and attacking a big guy is the worst decision you can make.

For the little guy I thought the gameplay was still playable but damn, the only cool thing has become totally useless with the nerf of the cloak, I'm talking about the dagg which is simply no longer playable at all because there's no longer the possibility of tempo... And above all, come out with a real smoke and not a papier-mâché thing that just disguises a knee.

Basically for the heavy, I have to admit that the gameplay is great, but I find the whole gameplay repetitive, shield, crack, mesh shield, crack, gluo, crack... especially in powershift

[stable lagoon]

Tbh for beginners I'd bump up Light's health from 150 to 180, and bump down Heavy's health from 350 to 320 for starters, this would make the health disparity much less severe and dominating.

Tbh I genuinely think this single change would fix 99% of the complains about classes being overpowered/underpowered instantly.

[little pawn]

Literally stuck in plat 1 for 3 weeks or more in the last few updates idk what empark changed about ranking system but no matter how much I win or lose my rank doesn't change at all I was around 5k on the leaderboard And won ton of tournaments and didn't rank up now after I lost ton of matches due to the game keep crashing and kicking everybody between the rounds and cheaters etc.. I'm around 9k on the leaderboard and I'm still plat 1..?

Played 3 tournaments ( lost 2 finals though) , dint face any disconnection and crashing. Hope this little patch fixed it. Will update again 🙂 ( default region: Asia)

[timid steppe]

Why did i get put into the 2nd round in ranked and one team was missing they literally didnt even load in so there was only 3 teams and 2 teams got cashout and teamed against my team how is that even fair

[cedar forum]

Do assists count as support?

[glossy panther]

ig so, I mean no one had a chance to even shoot back at the cheater so it surely is not healing support for the medium

[real egret]

Diamond 4 starts at 6.5k in the leaderboard, you’re off by about 3000 positions, I just hit it yesterday and that’s around the spot I got the promo

[vale lava]

Hello can we get 4 and 5 player team vault. Every time I have more than 3 friends on iam limited to playing one game mode

[wanton oak]

Personally i wish you can buy the bundle skins individually as well. Just in case you only want the one skin and not all of them

[little pawn]

If Diamond 4 starts at 6.5k Then my rank is absolutely bugged I was around 5k and still plat 1

[delicate notch]

yeah! I agree

[rose condor]

Hey I think it would be really cool if we made voice chat like available to people who don't have a mic cause the entire time I was talking to this guy telling him I just wanted to play casual

not only does the match system say that we're queued for bank it

but it threw us into a ranked match and I had to go to work and literally quit the match just because I don't have time for that shit

there needs to be a way to communicate with people who do not have a mic like a text chat or something because this is fucking ridiculous

[rough herald]

text chat!

[little pilot]

only 2 in the team in a ranked tournament and if i want to leave because there's clearly disadvantage, i got penalized? lol

[modern wedge]

text chat PLEASE man

and goddamn when is facial hair coming

[muted raptor]

This is getting a bit ridiculous, how are TK still neglected?? I'm holding out hope for the next big update, but I keep coming and stating that it makes no sense for TK to be the only weapon in the game without level 7 in the overview, and the weapon with the least skins. The amount of sledgehammer skins we've seen in the shop in comparison is insane. It can't be that difficult to transfer over a pink tiger print skin to the TK, or think of some even half decent skins for them. Not to mention the bundles that come out for the same weapons with diff skins all the time, seems a bit biased to me.

All I'm trying to say is for a weapon that's been out since the game started, it's strange it's the only one neglected for no clear reason. Thank you for your time.

[worn sigil]

True, I agree. But I'm always basing skins I want based on the skins I have, and the free TK skin in the first BP with the throwing cards is the best IMO and I doubt it'll change anytime soon unless there's Shurikens or something added

[dawn hazel]

Embark PLEASE make a prestige leveling system. It would give many players a reason to keep playaing and leveling up in the game. I have been at the level 50 cap since the day the update for it released. Also something similar to an heirloom like in Apex would be badass that is super rare.

[versed bridge]

This "fix" made it so that you can blow up mines in spectator 🤣

And now they'll lose the tournament.
Wth??

[unique rune]

we need more weapons I think that would do the game more good than adding new skins every week that requires money because my vrs currency is stuck at 3000 with nothing more to buy

And also we need a nerf on defibrillator like if we kill the guy that used it his teammate that he revived should also die and the heal beam is overpowered when used by 2 people atleast make it heal half your health

[earnest rock]

So you’re saying: make the game feel slow as shit

we do need something to do with VRs that can be rebought but that other stuff nah

This is absolutely ridiculous they still haven’t replied. Every day that goes by I’m gonna make sure to post in here so that everyone knows just how long they will ignore you before they give two shits about your issues. Game won’t launch TFLA0013. No one whom I’ve tried contacting knows what this is and will not take the time to explain it. It can easily be any of you all. There are a few error codes goin around. Just know if you turn your stuff on and can’t play anymore. They will never answer you or take the time to fix. Those who assume it’s the cheater error code this isn’t the case. There are multiple codes goin around.

UE 5.4 brings more optimizations which make the performance better and that should improve the general game experience for people in combination with the updated better upscalers. Also, add DirectStorage api to improve loading, there are times where all players are stuck to a loading screen for the match due to singular users with slower machines, and DiSto can eliminate/lower that.

Then they came for Dash—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Just remove light from the game at that point

[violet wing]

It would be quite something XD.

I think they'll be boosting the contextual feel of the game with the comments and general TV show aspects in the future. You can already tell with some of the lines. I'm really hoping they go full running man/hunger games with it, to make players feel like they're really fighting to become famous. Zero to DeNiro.

[pseudo breach]

Day 28 of asking to put map rotation on a timer for casual. Really sick of getting Horizon and or Vegas 90% of the time.

Also, can we please get South African servers and maybe a latency indicator?

[glass fable]

idk who will actually read this but here we go

First as far as game balancing goes it will never be perfect, there will always be a handful of items that need tweaking because they are either too good or absolutely pointless, and honestly this game does a good job meeting that balance so anyone complaining about light's movement(dash), heavy's defenses, and medium's ungodly ability to be support, please take a step back and look at the bigger picture and wait cause if there actually is a mechanical problem the devs will address it.

Second is cosmetics. I understand the system and love the system, the battle pass is great, the new contract system is stellar and the events are always fun. My biggest gripe is that all the outfits combines cost well over $300 to obtain and even with the current rate of what is earned in the battlepass it is unobtainable. This is the suggestion, once 3000 vrs are reached, allow the players to buy multibucks with the full 3000 vrs, it is still a slow pace and the most I could see 3000 giving is 300 vrs but that would incentivize more players to grind and likely get those smaller multibuck packages to reach specific things faster. Essentially it adds an option to getting outfits and additional cosmetics.

Third is regarding to esports accessibility, this game as it is in concept is awesome and should be able to meet an esports level of play. As said above a spectator mode for casters in private matches, as that's what is used for esports, would be top of the docket in addition to establishing rules of how to run between professional teams due to the games unorthodox team dynamics of 3-4 teams of 3 or a 2 teams of 5. Perhaps a mode dedicated to that environment would be needed but it is just an idea.

Also can we get custom outfit presets please.

(PS I'm graduating with a degree in game design on may 4th and have dedicate way too much time analyzing UI/UX and honestly would love to work at embark remote work was an option)

[steady cosmos]

I don’t know why I’m here but I’m going to say an opinion I believe a good way to make all weapons fair is to have all weapons in a class have the same ttk then change there range or recoil so that they all kill in the same time but not if there used incorrectly. I’m no game dev though this is just a thought and probably not a good one a that, do what you will with it

[teal minnow]

I love ya game ,don't ruin the game by the pressure. Make the game as you want it to be EMBARK also pls make an ospuze energy drink irl it would be pretty cool

Some feedback on the AKM animations pack - It should be clearer what each animation is for. I might have bought it if I had realised the animations were for when you equip/deploy the weapons, but I thought they were inspect animations which wasn't as cool.

Could you implement some decent anti-cheat system?

I'm already tired of cheaters, three out of every five games there are one or two cheaters.

This is becoming unplayable, and my friends don't even want to play The Finals because of the cheaters.

It would also be great to be able to see the ms or ping in figures instead of just icons.

[torpid helm]

They should have multiple versions of the same specialty so like have a version of dash that’s just one long dash or a triple heal beam that heals less

[karmic forge]

i think a lupin collab would be amazing

[violet wing]

They say if you gaze into the spoon, the spoon also gazes into you...
@carmine oyster It does not work how you think, it's more like asymetrical guerilla warfare. Constant struggle to keep up. The cheaters have always been a pain in those game but with the development of a really profitable market, the $$ incentive set them on turbo mode. Everyone, on every pvp PFS right now, has that problem and the Finals is actually not as badly hurt by the phenomenon as many other majors like CS, cod or apex. Count our blessings I guess.

[quick coyote]

nobody wanna play ranked cuz its too fucking long matches dawg

[daring fossil]

I love that you released the spoon that 5 people wanted but still no Goth girl bundle, literally the only cosmetic in the season 2 trailer that hasn't released yet. see you next week I guess since we never got the stun gun nerf that was supposed to come out this week.

[rough herald]

anti cheat and text chat/comms wheel

[teal siren]

I am not sure if you all feel the same but I don't get a reason to grind a ranked mode. Some say it's long, and some say you don't get acknowledgment (like overwatch when they show if you are top 500 for example), but I would say that ranked has an unfair reward system. I was 1 bar away from ranking up, dropped 30+ kills, and won the game. As a result, I get a rank-up with no additional bars added. My question is: what's the point? It doesn't seem that I needed to win that game. I could qualify for round 2/3, throw the game, get a promotion, and then sweat in the next game. The point is, aside from other ranked problems, can we at least, when we get a rank up, get bars that were "left out" in the previous rank? Maybe this only happens to me?!

[dense yacht]

Light class sucks, underpowered and too easy to kill. Just combine light into the medium tree and everyone wins. I don't like the game only because the people playing it suck. Nobody communicates or does anything sensible enough to beat 3 other teams. Required to find 2 others before searching to get anywhere

[bleak coral]

i love that they released the spoon too!!!

[storm siren]

Maybe you should practice everything you talked about

[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

Genuinely a good idea, this will attract community skin designers who can make money off of their creativity like Warframe's Tennogen. But doubt they'll ever add lootboxes since it will attract more hackers who will deploy bots to keep farming for the boxes to drop

[frail wave]

i dont know about csgo but in rust i dont think it's that big of an issue
you get a free drop maybe every 100 hours ? and even then it's an item that's worth 5 cents

[glass fable]

Keep in mind the stylization of the game here. It’s likely something that doesn’t mechanically match what has been established so far and may be a jarring shift if implemented, the community suggested/voted skins tho is a solid idea

[plucky vault]

water physics when

[fleet sedge]

👍 all of these are amazing ideas that I would love to see in the game.

[pseudo latch]

Is P3 high enough to be allowed to say I dont like medium in the current meta?

[twin heart]

depends on the person moving the goalpost

[stark maple]

Change "We played poorly" to "The two other people were bad"

[frosty shard]

for whatever reason I get the "application hang" crash sometimes between tournament rounds which could definitely be an issue with my pc, but can you please allow me to reconnect after so I can play and not get a leaver penalty? like if my game crashes during a round I can reconnect but if it's between rounds I can't

[violet wing]

Let's say you're the 1 out of 10 players saying this who actually WAS good while the other two were bad, why don't you use another option like "we got crushed" ?
I have to admit I hope they have some super duper psychological thing behind this system to hopefully optimize your future matchmakings, cause right now this thing puzzles me. I really want to send them a feedback but very often I just don't know what to choose cause nothing really fits or i'm worried I'm going to mess up the thing even more for everyone if I give wrong data.

Model 1887

• 2 Shots Light over 20 meters:
  https://youtu.be/l2mnBZmT7xg?si=8__NPWBJyqOQ22bp&t=43
  Why? It's a shotgun!

@rigid walrus same goes for explosives mines. Light isn't allowed beeing annoying anymore. So nerf everything thats unfair against L. Thank you!

[rigid walrus]

Nerf the grenade launcher, their users doesn't even take damage from them, every explosive in the game are too OP, crying about the cloak ability when the rocket launcher nearly OS a light

[sullen quarry]

is anyone else having issues connecting to a game???? it wont let me find one. it stuck on seraching

[zinc haven]

this and slow down the fire rate.

[hushed terrace]

Insanity is queuing for a RANKED match and getting set up with only one other person instead of two.

[zenith scarab]

Asking for a nerf to one of the worst weapons in the game is just stupid, please stop
@thick sorrel mines are already nerfed, their range is tiny af, wtf are you talking about 😭

[past hollow]

Are you on console with cross play off? If so you will never queue

[hollow prawn]

more nerfs please!!! model 1887 should have bloom... oh and nerf the fcar again!!!!!

[stray basalt]

No

[swift skiff]

Have you also got massive problems completing the "Steal a cashout in progress 15 times" quest? (challanger s4)

[storm siren]

Just get better

[versed cloud]

Healing beam isn't letting me lock onto a target. Happens mostly in ranked.

[cold forum]

in gold 4, why am i constantly matched against diamond players

[charred ivy]

So lovely to play against 3-stack aim botters who are rocking season 1 battlepass stuff 🙂

[frosty wagon]

Light is shit. It's needs a massive buff

[wide void]

Both the CL-40 and MGL do 100% self-damage... If you run up to GL users' faces, they have almost no choice but to self-damage. I've been killed in one sword lunge before because my CL-40 did exactly 110 self-damage to me.

[thorn kelp]

From @still moon

[still moon]

yeah when I die its not gone when I redo emote its not gone lol ranked game still won tho

[plucky vault]

the game also needs a brain dead mode like team deathmatch or mosh pit search and destroy with medium only (same with tdm)or mosh pit with tanks only extra multi classing in brain dead modes will make me want to counter swap and i fell people need a mode to go to and practice the main they are good at in modes set up where that class is the only one anyone can use to practice's that specific character class. they can even add modes like uplinked from bo3 or even escort. the ideas are limit less for the game i just hope they can reach all audience level and get a stronger community formed without having to stress about only playing comp

[willow leaf]

The game needs a custom games browser

[topaz sail]

We need an option to turn off any Anti-Aliasing, thats the main thing keeping me from playing, really sucks cause i love the game and gameplay but for me personally its unplayable on 1080p. Just such a small change but would improve FPS aswell.

[wintry storm]

give us a way to mute ping sounds + make the last tournament match be 3 teams instead of 2
its super boring cuz nothing happens in the game for too long

also allow us to change loadout mid ranked so we can do actually countering against classes (prolly only on team wipe or something)

[upper citrus]

“Nerf the fcar again” as if it’s ever gotten a meaningful nerf that gave it a proper weakness

[bleak coral]

fr fcar = car from titanfall 2 D:

[hollow prawn]

I KNOWWW its still so strong... I dont think a game should have any meta at all, all the guns should be equally weak and painful to use the fcar is still way too strong!!!!!

[rose condor]

I think someone that would benefit the game immensely is having opacity sliders for the objective, vault and cashoit icons

9 times out of 10 I get killed by people who are too far away and are hidden by the giant yellow VAULT icon which is distracting and really annoying

[tame pivot]

problem is you've hated medium since OB lmao

[violet elbow]

no

[frosty wagon]

The game is so broken. Fcar is way too overpowered, light is useless, spawns are broken (a lot of the time, when my team has a cash out and need to defend it, we spawn on the opposite side of the map), solo queuing against premade stacks isn't fair

[verbal isle]

No one uses motion sensor
Give it to lights for more recon options
As a sniper main i would gladly appreciate info when light gets behind me

[crude brook]

anti cheat still not good enough
i understand you cant give details about the updates, but first two ranked games today I had a teammate blatantly cheating

[strong escarp]

I haven't used the gadget, but if motion sensor doesn't already detect people through walls like with the sonar grenade, then it should. Useless gadget otherwise.

[wide void]

Why can't we have it for every class? Don't understand why they removed it off Light in the first place. Same goes for tracker darts and sonar grenades -- just spread the love.

[opal dock]

Can we please have joystick KBM Compatibility

[dry raft]

Why do I play with silvers against diamonds ?

[timber hazel]

Hey if we have a spoon hammer. can we also have a chef outfit?

[undone grotto]

🤫 🧏‍♂️

[elder umbra]

so far the game less cheater after the update for now , good job dev | embark

[still yoke]

Add proper rank based matchmaking and make it to where you have to hit round 3 to rank up that way bad players cant hit gold so easy
