dear embark:
it would be healthy for the game to run at good framerates, without having to play on ALL LOW and 360p (dlss ultra).
please consider

[bright sparrow]

@topaz swallow buy better pc

[sleek spoke]

As much as I like TA and World Tour, it sucks that if I grind World Tour I'm already behind on TA if I wanted to get to ruby. Make it so you just need to make top 500 once but make minimum 75k ranked points for ruby. (Nobody is grinding 3 months just to keep top 500)

[fading pelican]

Can the devs please stop having "win" condiition in Contracts? At least until some of the cheating going around is dealt with? It's frustrating. I'd rather have play 50 games than win 10 matches. Just my opinion tho.

[rough herald]

balancing team need to do better man, so many patch that have 0 balance changes and the change that been request for the longest time haven't been added in the game yet

[quick coyote]

Yo embark please nerf pizza falling sped on the new Upper back (Handheld Heropack) it's too fast for my 🧠, and I don't want to try to get better at it so nerf it please 🤓, jk😂

[regal salmon]

Can we try a sniper-free variant of Power Shift? It's absolutely miserable at the moment.

If we can acknowledge in Terminal Attack that a mode can be much better with certain restrictions, then surely Power Shift also qualifies?

Also, revert the damn Stun Gun. Lights are horribly oppressive right now, and a free kill tool is possibly the most un-fun thing to die to in the entire game.

The Winch could do with a rework too for this very reason.

[inland cove]

100000000% agree

[lament willow]

How about just some more stability? Every day I play I have to Alt-F4 as my screen "freezes" during the loading phase, except it's not frozen I'm still gettting over 120+fps, it's jsut stuck on that screen - I hear the announcers during the initial tunnel run intro and the game starts - yet I'm still "loading" - it's really dampening my enthusiasm to play. Perhaps less cosmetic additions and game modes fiddling around and go back to basics and fix deal-breaking bugs. #justsayin'

[rough herald]

90% agree
the 10% is my light main bias to the stun gun, i don't want it to be useless like when it let stunned people use spec

[hazy shore]

revert its range back to what is was before the most recent buff. they gave that buff when it didnt hit specializations. now it does the range decrease seems fair and needed

[ripe pike]

Or just a light free mode? they're so fucking annoying and overpowered

[soft flame]

Recoil is a horrible balance angle. It does not work in this game at all. If the LH1 is just objectively better than the V9S but harder to use, nobody will ever want to put time into using the V9S

[inland cove]

would play

[upbeat lake]

We need more options for crosshair customizations.

[rough herald]

static crosshair

@supple basin im guessing you're talking about ta because only there are light oppressive, also light are oppressive not because light are op but range, in ta there's alot of big map and light meta are range weapon (sniper and semi rifle) that other class just can't fight with (out range)

[supple basin]

Have found too Ls have just been dominating all games recently, games essentially coming down to who has the most Ls and making playing M/H absolutely horrible. Maybe giving them even just a bit of a speed reduction or more direct counter play. Last couple days it's just been miserable trying to play and getting instantly shredded even when using the in theory counter weapons like H's winch and flamer it's just way too easy to survive and escape as L. I feel like when there's already a speed boost ability they don't need such a fast base speed, forcing the players to pick between extra speed or other abilities. Also agree with @ripe pike that L free mode sounds real sweet rn

[quick coyote]

This just simply isn’t true, the V9S is and has always been a spectacular weapon. It doesn’t shine at longer ranges like the LH1 but has incredible TTK a large magazine with a 1.7 second reload and and border line laser beam hip-fire. The V9S is the close range counter part to the LH1, as the LH1 is not as good up close. V9S vs LH1 really come down to preference

[quick dew]

remove lights

[ripe pike]

i just wanna be a medium, have some fun, and play with the model 1886, but when the whole other team is lights its just fucking miserable.

[tepid ether]

add Mic on matchmaking system

[hard badger]

Add tdm please, I am sure that it will bring new people to this amazing game. Powershift is plagued by snipers and in bankit you cant go solo or you encounter a full team (good luck). Also those two modes that looks the most at team deathmatch are still evolving around a objective. A lot people just wanne shoot and kill without an objective.

[somber sleet]

i had game freez and now i have ban.

[dark terrace]

I think medium this season is quite frankly in a terrible state. TA has had 2 of their best tools removed, and their guns aside from the model don't really compete with the other classes arsenal, seing as Light has better performing guns and utility geared around getting kills, and Heavy having specs and utility so powerful they can turn fights on their own. Seeing as Medium is pigeonholed as a support, I don't have much of a solution, but they feel terrible to play in ranked.

[safe umbra]

Please add Turret Limit on TA, It's really frustrating fighting 5 Mediums with 5 Turrets lmao

[young smelt]

Add defib back to TA with 1 use and it respawns the player with 1hp that can’t be increased. Add healing beam back with one max usage (350hp)

[dry wraith]

The "enigmo" cloak doesn't have matching pants

[glad laurel]

chat gpt has explained the issue of this game perfectly.
i have described what this game is about to chat gpt, and they have summarized the possible "unfairness" that goes on within this games balancing. read up fellas @inland cove i shall redo it without that in there. i had a feeling it could have messed it up

[plain kindle]

The Defibrillator is too much of a mandatory ability for Medium.
So much so that if you don't bring it, you are considered to be throwing/trolling.

I propose to integrate it into the Healing Beam specialization since it fits perfectly with it.

• When activating the Healing specialization, you can scroll to switch between Heal Beam and Defib.
• To balance this change, I think Defib should be nerfed in terms of cooldown.
• This will make the defib a bit more meaningful and impactful in those clutch situations.

An interesting way to make the 2 parts of this specialization more fun to use would be to have them interact with each other. Imagine this:

• The Defibrillator would have a very long cooldown that can be reduced by healing teammates.
• If you overheat your Healing Beam, it also pauses the cooldown timer of the Defib for its duration.
• When you Defib someone, your Healing Beam meter is reset to full capacity.

This will also free up the Medium class to choose more gadget combinations

[inland cove]

ur promt is kinda ass ngl.
if u tell it what you think the problem is ofcourse it will see that as the problem too.

light is obviously the strongest class rn as everyone is playing it and heavys just get clowned on by lights while med is in a somewhat balanced state i would say

[idle oracle]

Heavies dont quite get clowned on with RPG and claw+sledge hammer combo, but as a light sword main, lights are definitely getting out of hand.

[autumn warren]

LMAOOOO HEAVY IS OP WHAT???? Bad player spotted 😂. Don’t play if you can’t kill the class with the largest hit box and lowest damage. The RPG is the only realistic thing you have to go off here and it’s a classic in most video games like BF and CoD

[hidden hatch]

add the desert eagle pistol for heavy, make it have high recoil and fast firerate because i fel like heavy should be able to play medium range and all the other classes have a pistol

[hazy shore]

bf and cod dont have classes with different health pools

[autumn sedge]

Are you blind lol? It wasnt a player who said that, it was straight up Ai-generated. Its funny how instead of reading you straight up call people bad the second you see talk of op heavy lmao

[glad laurel]

@autumn warren infact yea heavy is pretty crazy. give the class with the highest hp the best protection gadgets (not a problem just an example) AND free kill items and it will be op.
people dont play heavy because its fucking boring
people play light because its fun
make rpg do like 60-80 damage but add rocket jumping with like 2 charges and just watch as TONS of people go play heavy. notice how heavy was the most popular class in rivals lmao. in a real competitive setting no one's playing light unless they are someone like piggy who are diehard light mains even if its shit (though piggy said once if it was a real tourney he'd swap to medium, so its a dud even then lmfao).

ALSO AS @autumn sedge SAID, it was AI generated. not me being bad, simply the thought of a robot lol. (though it did have some bias in it due to my prompt, which has made me redo it without the bias in my prompt)

@inland cove i have redone the chatgpt thing and it seems to say similar things. although obviously not as blunt.
light seems to be close to what chatgpt said it should be. however, the reload times arent long and lights best weapon (xp) isnt very skill-oriented outside of aiming. but light DOES have the most skill required weapons in the game (at least in my opinion). i do think light should have a reload on the TK, and possibly the bow although the bow requires a good amount of skill to use effectively. (though i guess thats an opinion)
medium seems to be close to what chatgpt said it should be, but model could use some tuning down (in my opinion). ak might need a tiny nerf but nothing outside of that.
heavy seems to be somewhat close to what chatgpt said it should be, although it does do very well in solo engagements, which chatgpt said isnt ideal.

i guess if you get entirely into it, you'd have to explain what each and every gadget is and what it does. i guess i could try that at some point, though that might be a bit far lmao.

[latent jasper]

get a grip on the cheaters jesus

[west axle]

This doesn't pertain to gameplay itself, but features!

Please for the love of god add HDR support to this game!

[jagged dock]

remove TA ranked , The name Game is REACH THE FINALS , TA only 1 match xddddddddd

[acoustic gust]

Fix this game fast or it will die

[unique rain]

I have to wait 30 mins for a match, to then be put with or against 1-3 cheaters, the anti cheat is completely worthless, it bans legit players for excessive reports and lets rage hackers enjoy themselves, balancing is horrible. After the 30 min wait for a match in the off chance it is cheater free, its usually me, another 60k~ player vs a full team of plats and golds, what have i waited 30 mins for then? The entire system is the biggest joke i have ever come accross in any game ive played, game is now down to 15k players or something, devs simply dont care. Instead of fixing real problems they add winches and things. Wake up

[oak kernel]

Can we get a skate board on heavy?

[deep summit]

Fix the RS System, there are so many boosted players and so many smurfs it makes the system obsolete. Skill based match making, gold players with gold, plat players with plats, common sense.

[latent jasper]

just give me my elo back when the cheaters i lost to get banned

[snow trail]

Another day, another crash... WHEN THE HELL WILL YOU FIX YOUR GAME

Get gud, or get gud pc

[quick dew]

i aboslutely fucking agree i want to ride around on a skateboard with my sledgehammer this would be insane (i'm going to complain when people use it against me but i would feel like a real gamer using it myself)

[smoky gust]

Am i the only one that thinks light should not be the kill getter?
It just makes people feel like they arent allowed to adequately defend themselves for preffering a different playstyle/class

Every class should have equal chances of winning against any other
But with the way they get kills being effected by class choice

[vale acorn]

tf2 scout cleans up kills, so does tracer from overwatch, why shouldn't the light?

[cosmic spear]

Nerf sniper in TA fucking broken

[last mica]

true

[unique rain]

Do devs even read this? Slowest action of any company

[dry wraith]

check bug reports thread

[mighty cedar]

Cant compare scout or tracer to the light in this game. TF2 has 9 different classes, Overwatch a bunch of Heros.

[violet elbow]

can we just nerf TKs and the LH1 already so all the dogshit players who cant play light anyway just go back to Medium and Heavy?

[cosmic gulch]

Anyone else have this bug where they can’t use equipment or abilities? Until u die?

[inland cove]

congratulations!
we are actually having a constructive debate.

I mostly agree with what the AI said.
some stuff that i would approach differently tho.

I think even tho light is the "glass-cannon" type of character it should still be somewhat oriented towards teamplay. (pls share thoughts/ideas on potential gadgets/changes that would do this)

i agree that the massive dmg of rpg does not fit the role heavy is supposed to fill, tho if the only change mage would be to nerf RPG without compensation heavy will no longer be able to compete in any kind of sudden or attacking combat. Since the weapons that the heavy class has assess to lack a reliable way to deal dmg at medium to long range. (also rps is the only way to deal with dashing lights when playing sledge so that could be a problem)

My take on heavy would be to lower RPGs dmg to 80, shorten the cooldown, reduce the self dmg to a maximum of 1x and give heavy assess to a new weapon the can compete at medium to long range (some kind of handgun maybe)

oh and delete sniper from the game it does not fit in and is just annoying to play with or against.
It does not fit the role light is supposed to play and has little counterplay.

yea having an actual debate is a breath of fresh air from all the people just yelling for no reason lmfao

for lights teamplay gadgets, i think certain things that could possibly help your team from a far could be fun. gateway is a way in and out where if you have one near your team you can come back quickly to help. i think more things like this could be an interesting take for light. though it could get hectic at times. i think a fun thing for light could be a gadget that you could activate which would remove a certain amount of cooldown on all your gadgets for someone in your team (maybe make it so it cant be yourself, or not, just ideas). maybe something that you could use to hack an enemy dome shield, mine(s), turret, etc? that would turn them against the user, adding it to your "team". something like the invis bomb that instead increases player speed by 10% (or a diff number, just ideas). something that in a small radius would muffle sounds of footsteps, gunshots, use of specs/gadgets, etc. some of these could be a bit too powerful as just gadgets, but you could probably scale them down accordingly to make them work. also i got this idea from the AI again, im not quite the thinker when it comes to stuff like this, so i asked for gadget ideas. i picked the ones that sounded the most fair and that didnt already exist, or that didnt fit the role of a different class.

i think rpg shouldnt really be used for damage. if it were in turn used for strictly destruction or maybe even disorientation (like messes up your screen a tad bit with dust, particles, etc. (but nowhere near flashbang) it could be fun.

also yes delete sniper. or make it a projectile. a really heavy projectile with a good amount of drop; not as much as bow, but only slightly less. that could be really fun too.

[viral quiver]

I don’t think their is anything wrong with the sniper

if you think it doesn’t belong then the bow shouldn’t either if you don’t believe that, a sniper fits the role of a light then you are saying you don’t agree with a light having a fire arranged weapon, which means the bow falls under that, but you also bring up that he have no ways to deal with mediums at ranges if you Nerf the RPG then I guess that doesn’t fit them heavy does it don’t contradict yourself

I’d agree with a increasing the scope in animation and maybe a body damage decrease and a little less Blume when hit firing

Nerf Ing RPG is a good idea, but I also think that it will be fine if they get the damage the same and reverted the damage Nerf from the breach charge in the light class there was no reason for that Nerf it kept light stationary and promoted teamwork

[drifting thistle]

since season 3 until now still quite many cheater

[silver forge]

Leaderboards need to be split by PC/Console if crossplay is not forced in ranked.

[twin cave]

Some extra visual settings that would be nice to add (talking for console i don't know if PC already has these):

• Brightness, Contrast, HDR etc.. like settings ☀️
• Custom Colorblind option, both to appeal to more nuanced variations but also as a way of customizing it for anyone, maybe with even more colors/shades to choose from. 🎨
• More FoV settings, like splitting world and hands/player FoV, Vertical or Horizontal etc.. 👁️

As an extra thing, even though it might not be a competitive thing i think adding support for Dualsense's optional features like Adaptive Triggers etc.. would be pretty cool, making the game even more punchier since you can actually feel the weapons/stuff you use!

[violet elbow]

How to fix cashout and make it competitively viable:

• change cash value to 15k on V1 and V2, and 10k on V3 and V4 (same for 5 and 6 but more on that in a bit)
  allows teams to consistently build momentum early into the match without the risk of losing an entire game because the last box (current 22k) is more THAN TWICE the value of the first box.
  22k boxes are part of what makes cashout extremely uncompetitive right now.

• increase money for starting a cashout to 3k
  incentivizes starting cashouts (especially 3-6) instead of 3rd partying active cashouts with teams already fighting.

• change it so 5k with each box (of 15k or 10k) is paid out at 50% completion of the cashout
  makes V1 and V2 still worth stealing last second, but allows teams later into the match to consistently hold a lead by getting deposits and holding until half, without being griefed by 2 teams stealing their cashouts last minute

• shorten coin respawn in knockout rounds, increase respawn timer on teamwipes
  coining will be faster, wiping as a team will be punished harsher by losing presence and not by losing points you worked for.
  sidenote: remove money loss on teamwipes entirely

• Vault 5 and 6 should be 10k "lockout" Vaults, that only allow ONE other team to own the cashout they were deposited in:
  team A deposits, team B steals, now only team A and B are able to steal/hold that cashout, preventing late 3rd parties, with the other 2 teams unable to steal money they have no incentive to fight that cashout and late cashouts arent ruined by uncompetitive last second steals by team who didnt fight anyone.

- CHANGE OVERTIME TO ALWAYS AMOUNT TO A FULL CASHOUT DURATION OF 2 MINUTES AND 10 SECONDS

Classes:

Heavy:
Nerf Charge and Slam damage
Nerf RPG damage down to 120/50, slightly nerf aoe, slightly buff cooldown speed.
Nerf Hook range down to 10-12m, remove the stun effect, pulling somebody out of position is strong enough in itself
Buff Lewis gun recoil

Light:
Nerf throwing knives again, they are unfun to fight and too spammy
Nerf the LH1 again, its still too strong and too spammy
Buff V9S Range back up and fix its visual recoil
Buff fully charged Bow Crit damage, slightly nerf velocity (allows for 1c1b on heavies and 1c+melee on meds with slightly higher skill requirement)
Buff Glitch Grenades to 8s
Give Stun a slightly longer INTERACT BLOCK

Medium:
Slightly Buff FCAR Range (.55 to .6 multiplier at range), slightly buff damage to 23-24 (TTK against Light remains the same, H and M its 1 bullet less, still more than old FCAR), rework its recoil pattern to be more consistent across its entire magazine
Buff Famas famas range and give it a zoomed scope (.55 at range, 1.5x scope)
Buff Dematerializer to 4 uses
Buff revolver reload speed from 2.2s/2.5s to 2.0s/2.2s, buff range to a .57 scalar at range to allow 6b medium kills and 4b light kills. (42 damage)
add a small delay to data reshaper so spamming to reshape an RPG does not instantly consume 2 charges.

[somber axle]

• Give 2 amount C4
• Pls buff m60 damage
• Reduce the recoil for Lewis Gun
• Nerf Lh1
• Nerf throwing knives

[quick coyote]

nice work devs you have successfully deleted the game same hyperscape mistakes ggs

[cosmic spear]

plz have a chat in lobby meny

[rose nacelle]

Suggestion:
Since we're gonna be in Season 4 in about three months, it'd be nice to have a Season 1 "Recap" Pass alongside Season 4's pass you can purchase separately, without the Multibucks rewards. It'd be a shorter pass because of that, but it'd give people something to grind XP for after completing a pass already.

[inland cove]

bow is just "long range" which is absolutely fine and in my opinion well balanced rn.
sniper is "across the whole map range" that's the problem and since its hit-scan and not a projectile the skill requirement is minimal.

@glad laurel actually nice ideas

[torpid sky]

Haven't read yet but whatever u say is vaild and i agree with

Have a chat window in lobby, with different channels for party chat and private messages with friends. Also, indicator to see if friends are in a party or not.

[pastel ravine]

please make it so anyone can invite to the party

[hidden hatch]

add the desert eagle pistol for heavy, make it have high recoil and fast firerate because i fel like heavy should be able to play medium range and all the other classes have a pistol

[viral quiver]

I agree with everything but the LH1 change (I don’t use that weapon btw I think it’s good where it’s at) this would be a great update ngl

@inland cove well I’m not opposed to giving it bullet drop off and removing hit scan but if they do that make it have zero bloom on hit fire

[cursive latch]

I agree that the LH1 is in a good spot now. And everything else he said was pretty good

[deep summit]

• Add Skill Based Match Making, I keep getting smurfs and boosted players which results in huge -RS
• Get rid of Easy Anti-Cheat for a better anti cheat, its terrible, DMA Bypasses it so easily thats why you have a cheater epidemic, you are literally killing your own game by doing nothing
• if the devs did any play testing they would fix all the issues, but they have never hence the state of the game and declining player population
• Copying CS won’t make your game popular, stick to cash out, what everyone enjoyed previous seasons
• Why have this channel if you don’t listen to feedback? Recent patch was adding ruby, that’s all you guys worked on 🤣

[tropic bluff]

these are really not good changes: A large part of cashout's fun is how you haven't lost until the bell rings, but this would basically just mean you've lost if you don't get the first cashout - ramping up cashouts over time makes comebacks realistic (and forces you to stay in the game after you get the first cashout!), and ramping them down would massively promote getting one or two and just hiding to avoid a team wipe.

what you are suggesting right now is making the mode much less enjoyable for the sake of "competitive viability" which is also exactly why people hate ranked TA. It would mean the game is effectively over by the time the third vault is available, as the teams that get the first two vaults are completely disincentivised from fighting and risking their respawns and 30%, while the other two teams are left to fight over the cashouts that are left and lose respawns and money.

[tribal spoke]

Remove easy anti cheat and replace it with what?

[kindred owl]

guys please, change the time out time for when you are disconnected in WT to be longer or unlimited, there's no point for being removed when you are disconneceted
my game crashed and I loaded the game back up (keep in mind my game is on ssd) and when I reached the screen to reconnect I WAS BANEND (the game was still ongoing) and we were in The final round , this has happened to me probably tens of times

[rigid basalt]

anyone able to explain why my group is constantly getting rank queued with a 50k RS difference. We are getting queued with people double are RS. At this point we are just lost streaking now that we are pushing this huge of a gap. Anyone able to explain the rank system

[violet elbow]

"the most uncompetitive part about cashout should actually stay BECAUSE it is uncompetitive"

yeah teams getting 2 cashouts and losing because they wiped and another team got a 22k is bullshit and part of what ruins cashout as a ranked mode, arguing anything else is delusional

[coarse dew]

COMMON SKUL W

[unique marsh]

I love your game embark I know your hard at work creating this masterpeice thank you

[clear hemlock]

Good ideas, don't like the lockout vault idea though as it does completely stop third partying but it also removes too much freedom and makes the game more complicated. I think lh1 is fine. Buff m60 as well. I wouldn't touch fcar, can't stand dealing with that. If we buff it we need to nerf firerate

[hidden hatch]

add the desert eagle pistol for heavy, make it have high recoil and fast firerate because i fel like heavy should be able to play medium range and all the other classes have a pistol

[astral viper]

Light sniper desperately needs a body shot nerf. It feels awful to play as a medium/heavy and just get plinked to death by a hitscan rifle at literally any range. It also allows the Light to use it as a viable CQC weapon which is a range the Light really doesn't need more obnoxiously overtuned weapons for.

[cosmic spear]

I love TA but the state its in is not good im 26.178rs (gold 2) and played with and against top500 EMBARK u have to fix something bec its there is no way i match with such players the first game and one game after i play against bronze people.

[civic orchid]

great developers... I just got a penalty in rank for one of your bugs that you still haven't fixed after 1 month, stuck on the loading screen when the game started I had to restart and it gave me the penalty...
and no developer who deigns to give an answer when you fix a bug created by you...
HOW SUCKY YOU DESERVE TO LOSE USER IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX A BUG LIKE THIS IMMEDIATELY... but after 1 month it's still there.

[deep summit]

The Finals deserves to die out given how the dev team is responding to the feedback this season (they aren't responding)

It's very easy to implement the feedback, even easier to know what to implement, take it from a game designer

[hasty cliff]

or maybe it takes time to effectively implement said feedback??

Day seven of not being able to play competitive term attack because of the invisible light snipers everywhere. I don’t want to play that class because it doesn’t fit my play style and it’s not fun to sit in one spot the whole entire match. There is no incentive to actually play the objective

[hard shoal]

When a game ends, I get stuck on the scoreboard for a long time, even if press esc, can this be fixed?💀💀

[azure atlas]

I've been getting this crash pretty consistently about halfway through my sessions, its the same error but its not on startup its like in the middle of the game, any idea what it could be? My drivers are up to date and I tried redownloading the game

[hidden hatch]

add the desert eagle pistol for heavy, make it have high recoil and fast firerate because i fel like heavy should be able to play medium range and all the other classes have a pistol

[crystal storm]

Heavy:

• RPG > damage reduced DMG from 140 to 100
• Winch hook > remove from game, or rework it completely
• Mesh shield > Reduced HP from 750 to 700
• M60 > increase damage drop off range by 10 meters
• Lewis gun > clean up the recoil pattern to be less aggressive horizontally
• Charge and slam > reduce damage by half so you cant instantly kill M's, reduce cooldown. Should be more utility than 1 shot cheese.

Medium:

• Recon senses > re-add to game - rework to be a single ping like recon nades but originating from the player. 3 charges with a pretty long recovery time
• Turret > Add a attack delay of 0.3s so it doesnt instantly shoot if you are in its FOV
• Defib > Remove invincibility time after getting ressed
• FCAR > 3rd shot of recoil jumps way to hard right, reduce that horizontal recoil.
• FAMAS > Increase damage drop off range
• R.357 > increase damage drop off range and slightly lower reload time

Light:

• Dash > Add a short cooldown, around 0.5 s

• Throwing Knives > Make the projectiles lose velocity and damage over distance, boost initial velocity

• LH1 > revert damage to 52 but lower fire rate

• 93R > increase damage and damage drop off range

• DB > lower damage to 145 damage

• V9S > Lower fire rate but increase damage (1 less shot to kill)

• Explosive mines > damage from multi mines exploding from different sources do not stack. Damage reduced from 140 to 100

• Cash-out should periodically give cash over time in a couple of instances (ie: 3k-5k-10k). Many high ELO games just becomes stalling for first 75% CO the time.

• Remove Terminal attack from the game permanently, you cant balance the game for TA and CO at the same time, one will always suffer

[brazen zealot]

my game is not launching
i try to slove the UE5 discovery with the help of yt but cant helpfull for me

i try to reinstall the game 13 times but not launching
can u solve this

i cant even launch this game since 5 days

[deep summit]

• Remove Terminal Attack (The push game mode is x10 better than your version of Counter Strike)
• Terminal Attack RS system doesn't work when you have no Skill Based Match Making, boosted/smurf players heavily influence your RS
• If I solo queue I shouldn't go up against a 3,4 or 5 stack, it should only be other solo queue players
• Play Test your game, none of these issues would be present if you did play testing (You can die off spawn in Terminal Attack)
• Add regular ranked
• Better Anti Cheat (DMA Bypasses Easy Anti - Cheat, that's why you have a cheater epidemic)
• Balance
• Skill Based Match Making (Why is there unranked/bronze playing with/against diamonds in ranked)
• A lot of unranked players are cheaters, they ruin ranked for everyone else and once they get banned they make a new account,** Better Anti Cheat or IP Ban is the only solution **
• Remove snipers and melee's <3

The Finals devs are the most incompetent dev team I've ever seen, it's so obvious the issues of the game some playtesting will reveal it, but they don't play test.

reply to Junai: Just because you never encountered doesn't mean there aren't any, I find them daily, try ranked you will find some blatant, some discreet (DMA Wall hacks, soft aim etc)

add headshot icon instead of useless arrow

[raven topaz]

you shoulf definitely get RS back if there was a cheater detected in the game, there are a lot with snipers

[silent fog]

Nerf the winch claw.

[misty jasper]

This is interesting, my friends and I actually haven’t encountered any cheaters since towards the middle/end of season 2. Didn’t know this was still a big problem

Game being stuck on loading screen when entering a match needs to be fixed. It happens way too often. And why doesn't Glitch Barrel work on Dome Shield? I doubt it is intended.

DAY 100 OF ASKING FOR FSR 3.1 AND FRAME GENERATION RAAAAHHHH!

[untold pendant]

i say a brilliant feature for the spectator would be to assign players first person perspectives to the numpad keybins so casters and viewers can easily find aplayer they want rahter than search through a list of the players in the server

[glacial knot]

How works the anti cheat in the finals right now . You cant find a better explanation

[last mica]

great game

[crisp dragon]

I'd like to argue... your own character will YELL out to the point enemy teams can hear it as well that a nade is incoming and to look out. Your team will yell it if you aren't close enough. Nades also have a visual streak (I'd love to prove it but I can't post images). You can even hear the things ping off objects etc. The only time there is "virtually no indication" is if you come sprinting over a nade right before it explodes and its trail has disappeared. As for the RPG it's pretty obvious when a heavy whips that thing out + it leaves a chemtrail and makes a nice loud boom when fired. So i would argue that you are, in fact, "objectively wrong". We do not need to b e spoon fed "boom booms is here" ↘️

[versed cloud]

[sonic spoke]

Assuming goal is for contestants to play tourney style. What about having a JV and Varsity competitive group where JV has 2 consecutive rounds, and Varsity has the current 3

[eternal valley]

Pyro grenade shouldn't burn through damn walls. I got killed from someone who threw one below me and it burned through the floor. I swear this season is a goddamn mess.

[severe girder]

This has been a complaint since day 0. Spawns are so messed up. If it's a strategy to literally not deposit a cash box until the other team respawns, then your spawns are messed up. Especially since if you get team wiped during the cashout, you only spawn 90m away. So why would you possible make respawns, especially during 3v3, 230m away from the cash box. You've basically made it a rule that you only get 1 push per cashout, and that push can't last long. If you wipe during that push, it better have been immediately, cause there is no way you're getting back to the cashout for a second push. Again, if both times you spawned you were 230m away, it would be ridiculous, but consistent. But the fact you only spawn 230m away from the cash box and not the cashout means it's an unfair way to win the game.

[frosty ingot]

Double click inspect for auto-hold feature like for the spinning revolver so it keeps spinning, cool effect

[quick coyote]

So I just witnessed a lvl 1 get 20+ kills...

[plain kindle]

I don't agree with everything here, but for the most part, you've got some really good suggestions. Keep it up

[proper flame]

can i please have some help im trying to connect my ps5 finals account to my steam account but i keep getting this message
The account you are trying to connect has content saved from an Embark game and cannot be merged at this time. Contact player support for more information.
and it wont let me link my ps5 account to my steam account please can this be fixed

[echo urchin]

New mode ideas:

Futebol: in the practice arena is that wall where you can try throwing the cube through different holes. That got me thinking how fun it would be to have a football style game mode.

• Two teams battling over one cube, trying to snag it and throw it into one of the holes on the other team’s wall to score points.
• I’m thinking 6v6: GK Heavy, Two Medium midfielders, 3 light attackers.
• shorter respawn timer so kills grant an advantage but not a guaranteed goal, squad wipe would be a guaranteed goal though. Maybe no respawn timer so the focus is always on out playing the other team and not just going for squad wipes. Idk.
• It could be done by using smaller sections of the existing maps.

Other ideas:

1. Free for all tag/monkey in the middle
2. Melee only mode
3. Hide and seek: with destructible environments and cloak grenades this would be a fun mode.

Can we also get some better hair styles, the ability to change hair color, and upper and lower body wear that are the same shade of black?

And a water balloon pyro grenade.

[ebon stone]

Poor balancing really destroys my fun in this game. I had a lot during Season 1 and 2 but this one is getting on my nerves. Especially it seems like light or Medium is a must.

[lime lichen]

i agree with almost everything here but a few things, for starters the LH1 does NOT need a damage increase, explosive mines do NOT need a nerf they are fine and that recon change would be useless.

[quick coyote]

How to fix this game: (2 ways)
Revert back to season 2.
Remove mines and turrets from terminal attack. Make the maximum regeneratable health a percent not a static number (so it doesnt favor different characters). Revert all nerfs and buffs made in season 3. Rework the ranked system completley so you dont have to rely on 4 random teamates to win or lose points.

[sharp jasper]

TA gotta go shit is so boring.

[boreal sentinel]

Your hook is bs embark. I get bugged like hell for just using dual sword up against the hook. Cant press E. Cant climb. Cant even right click.

But sure!! Shop cosmetics are priority number 1!!!! Fantastic job!!!

[shy walrus]

fix that pls

[somber hound]

Nerf Sniper pls!!!! Reduce dmg or adjust Healing in TA!!! Also dont let them No scopes u

✨FREE IDEA✨ Day 20

"Hey bro, do you wanna join our company?"

Encourage us to play and make friends. I'm talking about make The Finals about team play (Way too much solo culture in ranked)

They need to make a "squad" system next season.
For obvious reasons I believe this idea will lead to a exponential engagement effect, let me explain:

"Squads" or "Companies" should be able to select or vote for sponsors:
-Vaiiya
-Volpe
-Engimo
-Ospuze
Etc.

During the season we should be able to grind for "fame" so we can get company drip (cosmetics) for completing these "company contracts".
(Gives me reason to hop back on the game, me and my friends are working towards a goal now. +++ Add Bonus Points for playing with company mates)

This may take the place of circuits but I think my ideas fits the theme of the game-show AND this gives people a reason to play with friends and implore their friends to hop on The Finals with them.

Create specialized cosmetics for these sponsors. Once your company selects one they are locked in for specialized one-time cosmetics.

This creates urgency AND rarity since -for example- the season 4 OSPUZE set will never show up again. (Same for Engimo, Vaiiya, etc.)
Remember, ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ONE SEASON

Top companies (companies with the most "fame" or money cashed out) are showed on the World Tour leaderboard.
There they should be able to display or link their Twitch and other socials.

✨((MAKE YOUR CONTESTANTS STARS))✨
Appeal to human nature and give us something to talk about amongst ourselves. Give us something to brag about.
"Oh shxt, that's Ottr from 'x' Company".

In real life athletes have sponsor drip, well in The Finals - The world's greatest game-show - it's no different.

We get to flex our specialized drop from our favorite sponsors (opportunity to expand the lore)
And the top, most loyal finalists get shouted out.

Thanks for your consideration 🚀

[potent glacier]

GLITCH:

There's a bug where the mine's stay attached to player's totem even if he already revived. So if you kill him again and you're next to him (his totem) you can die by explosion.

[crisp dragon]

i agree that sniper hipfire should not be so accurate.. outside of that sniper seems pretty balanced for its role in a game

[obtuse stump]

I'm having game crashes daily. Just now my game crashed for the third time today 😦

[grizzled steeple]

Yeah? 1000% correct how the anti-cheat works in this game... and Embark is trying to convince us "see? It's doing it's job" 😆

[hasty cliff]

as someone who uses sniper (level5, very close to 6) ive got to agree, whilst it feels so satisfying for the user to hit the noscope its honestly not very fair for opponents because i can noscope them from like 10 meters away

[daring fossil]

can you add a season OST picker in game please? or maybe have the game play different season music based on whatever maps being played. Monaco, Seoul and Skyway=S1, Horizon=S2 and Kyoto=S3. I miss season 1 music

[deep summit]

• Remove Terminal Attack
• Terminal Attack RS system doesn't work when you have no Skill Based Match Making, boosted/smurf players heavily influence your RS
• If I solo queue I shouldn't go up against a 3,4 or 5 stack, it should only be other solo queue players
• Play Test your game, none of these issues would be present if you did play testing (You can die off spawn in Terminal Attack)
• Add regular ranked
• Better Anti Cheat (DMA Bypasses Easy Anti - Cheat, that's why you have a cheater epidemic)
• Balance
• Skill Based Match Making (Why is there unranked/bronze playing with/against diamonds in ranked)
• A lot of unranked players are cheaters, they ruin ranked for everyone else and once they get banned they make a new account,** Better Anti Cheat or IP Ban is the only solution **
• Remove snipers and melee's <3

The Finals devs are the most incompetent dev team I've ever seen, it's so obvious the issues of the game some playtesting will reveal it, but they don't play test.

[worn horizon]

new special idea for medium, simple but would fit perfectly imo

[waxen sorrel]

Weekend contracts focused on wt are awful. I just played a game with a heavy that spent the whole match destroying stuff in wt instead of playing the game. Contracts shouldn't disrupt normal gameplay loops like that.

[wheat torrent]

those troll heavies show up often in power shift too

[clever marlin]

give medium thermal vison less op recon sense

[obsidian solar]

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here are a few ways that can improve the shield, as it underperforms against any other ranged and melee weapon. 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)
• The shield should block a larger area of the body to make it more consistent at blocking melee, bullets, and splash damage. Players with decent aim can easily hit the arms and legs which defeats the whole purpose of it.
• Blocking melee attacks should inflict a knockback to prevent melee weapons from clipping through and scoring a second hit with the active frames.
• Increase the melee range, even just +1m of range would make it feel so much better to catch enemies that were just outside your range before.
• Electrify the baton and allow it to glitch enemies for a very short period, it would provide a lot of team utility and prevent dash lights and charge and slam heavies from effortlessly hard countering shielders

FIX THE RIOT SHIELD BUGS:

• When picking up throwables in the arena, the first person shield model gets messed up and blocks your entire screen.
• Remove the fov zoom in and turning speed reduction when you raise the shield to block, it makes it overly clunky to use and feels terrible in a fast pace environment.
• Pyro grenades "stick" to the shield and burn the player forever, making it also impossible to see

GIVE SMOKE GRENADES TO ALL CLASSES:

• Give smoke grenade to all classes! It would open so many strategies for the other builds! I would use smoke so much if it was on medium, especially to better support my team against fire, detection sources, or to help revive teammates, and steal cashouts in an open area.

FIX THE GLITCH TRAP:

• Glitched heavy can still use the winch claw and it doesn't stop chargeNslam

[silent fog]

Nerf the winch claw for every gamemode. Take out sniper and RPG in TA.

[shadow glacier]

Please fix crash in loadingscreen between rounds

[glass sequoia]

THERMAL VISION NEEDS SERIOUS QOL BUFFS.

1. Thermal should still display THE EDGES OF THE MAP
2. Thermal should show MINES
3. Thermal should display important information like IF SOMEONE IS BEING HEAL BEAMED
4. Thermal can be accidentally toggled on and then off immediately after by accident. Please give a grace period for re-activation.
5. Thermal makes your entire scope become bright white and unable to be seen through whenever you are also invisible.
6. THERMAL HIDES STEALTHED CHARACTERS (it's primary use) IF THEIR HITBOXES ARE AGAINST THE SKYBOX OF THE GAME

THERMAL VISION NEEDS SERIOUS QOL BUFFS

Pls. Pls fix my favourite gadget.

[glacial knot]

With other words You need esp wallhack 😁

[faint cargo]

I love this game but if I get banned because it won’t let me join or reconnect to the match one more time I’m going delete it

[pseudo latch]

Day 108 of me begging the devs to give heavy an M134 Minigun as a Specialization.

• 200 Round magazine, ammo is restored four bullets every second, 50 seconds for a full reload.
• 20 rounds per second, eleven damage a round, 220 DPS. No headshot modifier to keep DPS from becoming insane.
• 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, you’re probably not getting higher than 150 DPS even as far as 10 meters.
• 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 mid-combat is a commitment, one that could get you killed.
• - gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

[balmy ivy]

disable the need to have a button on (next item) and (previous item) in the settings in order to zoom in on ur character. its very anoying

[acoustic sparrow]

FELLAS i think the playercard should display your world tour rank if you are in the top 500 leaderboard, should have a number next to or under the badge on your player card of what place youre in similar to how it shows your TA rank

[cobalt coyote]

Yeah currently WT top 500 is totally pointless

[urban marsh]

TA is soo competive , just lights with sniper and invis....

[frozen stirrup]

Terminal attack is not good. this game wasnt made for this kind of mode, its poorly balanced, the maps arent made for it, the gadgets arent made for it, it makes the gun play feel worse, and its just not fun.

[naive anvil]

Please could you add keyboard & mouse for console ?
That would be really cool

[versed cloud]

Why am I facing so many people with wall hacks now? Legit zero tell on my position and they prefire on me. Why has this become so common recently?

[bright nexus]

to stop teammates leaving mid game just straight up give them a 3 hour ban, i hate going to last round duo because someone left first round if we ven make it there

[stone hazel]

hey if im typing a player report stop closing the menu every single time something changes
if i respawn, leave it open
if the game ends, leave it open
if the end match animation finishes, leave it open
stop fucking closing the report player menu while im in the middle of typing the report

[mighty vapor]

What is up with the matchmaking in TA and point system? am Plat 38k playing with silvers. Then when we lose (even though it's 7/5) it's -1270 SR. I am getting tilted af on this gamemode rn. Get rid of it or fix atleast the point system

[restive crescent]

thats the worst possible idea, it would make medium a light class, but more broken.

[jovial socket]

I think it would be a good idea to have the option of adding or removing interactive buttons on the stairs leading to the roof

[wicked abyss]

Remove the inactivity kick when playing ranked and already a round passed. What a stupid feature. It does not achieve anything. Also prevents people from taking a quick piss

[young smelt]

ban people who leave games for like a week+. They get unbanned sooner than the game finishes rn lol. It's pathetic. Update: -706 RS on a 4v5 from round 1. What a joke of a game. remove TA permanently, im about ready to chargeback every purchase ive made on this game

[versed basin]

Game is so dumb was wining my game 6-0 and power went out and I instantly turned it back on ! Took at least 1 min and obviously wasn’t able to reconnect cause we won and got banned for one hour while losing 2K elo !

[glacial knot]

If someone leave soon his name disappear from leaderboard you can leave without punishement

[modern ether]

xp-54 and sniper need massive nerfs. An smg shouldnt be able to laser a medium from 200m away. smg's are for close range thats like a basic rule in all fps games. the fact that its so accurate from long distances makes 0 sense

[versed cloud]

Buff FCAR because AKM just destroys it in every possible way it's not even close

[dusky wraith]

Heavy needs a range weapon

[merry tartan]

Game is trash now figure out a way to bring cash out ranked back ...

[quick dew]

embark dropping everything they're working on to add cashout ranked back because KCTHEREAPER69 said so

[young hamlet]

A decoy specialization for the Light
Would send out a decoy of the light that runs around and shoots a gun that deals 0 damage

[old viper]

GIVE PRIVATE MATCHES AN ACTUAL USE AND LET US DECIDE WHAT TEAM WE'RE ON😑😑😑

[smoky basin]

TA killed this game ty embark

[young smelt]

that's not even remotely true

[edgy urchin]

day 7 of asking for a class balance cough cough light especally cough cough

[plush swift]

increase the fov of the backstab to 174

[twin kite]

We need default console pools back asap. It’s killing console

[glacial knot]

Of corse if your team has cash out not done yet you just wait cash out done and leave. Try it you will see

[tawny oriole]

I've been playing the game since close beta, and the xp-54 only became so strong because a lot of cheaters joined the game. Otherwise, the xp-54 has never been as strong as it is now. With aimbot you can deal fast kill with xp-54 otherwise no chance . If you have never played the xp-54 in season 1, you can't make a comparison whether it is used by a cheater or not. I have banned 20 players since the beginning of season 3. but embark ban only 1 week for first ban they should have 0 Tolerance

[rose verge]

Ever gunna fix the crash to desktop or nah

[upper saddle]

To expand on the addition of Weapons' concepts found here #👂┇game-feedback message I want to provide concepts and ideas for Gadgets for the builds, for now these concepts will be for Medium and then Light and later Heavy.

Healing Gadget Ideas-

Heath Bomb, One I'm sure You've seen me make a few times- being an impact grenade like the vanish bomb to provide a burst of healing in an area before going on cooldown.

Medical Drone, Either deployed to the Owner with a left click or to one of their teammates with a right click providing a small constant healing and with it having a limited HP pool itself (Taking double damage from melee attacks) it serves as another form of healing although be it very weak but hands free and destroyable/glitchable.

Damage Gadget Ideas-

Seeker Drone, a Drone that's deployed and immediately observes an area of 15m, when an enemy enters it's line of sight within that area it rapidly advances towards them and explodes dealing damage, with two charges but a weaker explosion (Probably around 80 damage?) it could provide a larger area of control to the team using it.

Sticky Bomb, a powerful explosive on a 5 second timer, sticking to surfaces or Contestants, dealing high arena damage and 160-180 damage to contestants it's stuck to but much less so to nearby contestants, thrown like a mine for very short range however.

Buff Gadget Ideas- These would be gadgets that empower The medium or their teammates for a limited time.

Ospuz Pro Juice, an energy drink for a gadget that increases the Medium's Movement Speed to match that of a light's for a duration of maybe 10-15s before going on a 30-45 second cooldown.

Armor Kit, deploy a box of Armor which teammates can interact with to 'equip armor', which acts like bonus hit points outside of the normal health although likely no more than 50 as that would throw the balance of the game out of whack.

[young smelt]

clearly talking about TA not cashout

[crimson zealot]

A light gets basically one shot by the sword and a basic melee attack. You are immediately able to basic melee after using the lunge attack or a normal sword attack. You can’t even react with a dash after the main attack that does 140 damage because you can instantly basic melee which does another 40 damage so it’s a insta kill. Im asking that yall put a delay on a basic melee if they are using a sword so that we are able to dash before the basic melee could be used. Other wise we will continue to be instant killed

[edgy urchin]

every weapon on light can kill any class close to instantly, playing in a lobby that has mostly lights isnt enjoyable at all because there is no time to react before u are dead
especially with sniper, theres no good way to kill a sniper sitting on the edge of the map unless ur playing sniper or can spam dome shields
embark should take people feedback good feedback not WaAh LiGht NeEds a BuFf and consider balancing the damage

day 7 of asking embark to balance the finals!

[modern ether]

the xp-54 has no drop off even though its an smg. it can do just as much damage as a AR from 200m. regardless of cheaters it is by far the most unrealistic smg ive ever seen in a fps game

[hazy shore]

dont you know? smgs are just as good as ARs at long rang 🧢

[subtle vale]

If you can customize your gun that would be great.

[shy parcel]

I left a game that someone also left in and lost 2k rs lol

[glacial knot]

Season 2 was light the most hated class it was victim class , now mostly cheaters play with it In combination with aimbot and espacially in TA, The only way to survive with light in season 1 and 2, is evasive dash wirh knife or sword. Now with aimbot all cheaters run with xp-54. people who have played season 1 and 2 can confirm it. if you didnt play the finals season 1 and 2 , dont discuss with me.

[north magnet]

SAFEZONES FOR HUD 🤬

[lone frost]

this but it tracks wins instead

[hard shoal]

When healing a teammate, their health bar should be displayed below the crosshair. just like overwatch🥺🥺

[crystal storm]

Heavy:

• RPG > damage reduced DMG from 140 to 100
• Winch hook > remove from game, or rework it completely
• Mesh shield > Reduced HP from 750 to 700
• M60 > increase damage drop off range by 10 meters
• Lewis gun > clean up the recoil pattern to be less aggressive horizontally
• Charge and slam > reduce damage by half so you cant instantly kill M's, reduce cooldown. Should be more utility than 1 shot cheese.

Medium:

• Recon senses > re-add to game - rework to be a single ping like recon nades but originating from the player. 3 charges with a pretty long recovery time
• Turret > Add a attack delay of 0.3s so it doesnt instantly shoot if you are in its FOV
• Defib > Remove invincibility time after getting ressed
• FCAR > 3rd shot of recoil jumps way to hard right, reduce that horizontal recoil
• FAMAS > Increase damage drop off range
• R.357 > increase damage drop off range and slightly lower reload time

Light:

• Dash > Add a short cooldown, around 0.5 s

• Throwing Knives > Make the projectiles lose velocity and damage over distance, boost initial velocity

• LH1 > revert damage to 52 but lower fire rate

• 93R > increase damage and damage drop off range

• DB > lower damage to 145 damage

• V9S > Lower fire rate but increase damage (1 less shot to kill)

• Explosive mines > damage from multi mines exploding from different sources do not stack. Damage reduced from 140 to 100

• Cash-out should periodically give cash over time in a couple of instances (ie: 3k-5k-10k). Many high ELO games just becomes stalling for first 75% CO the time.

• Remove Terminal attack from the game permanently, you cant balance the game for TA and CO at the same time, one will always suffer

[wispy ivy]

im not gonna bother with the rest of your suggestions but a dash .5s cooldown? theres only 3 of them, thats not needed. its easy enough to kill them with decent tracking

[hybrid dock]

Still no audio on enemy footsteps 3 seasons into the game is absolutely abominable. Couple that with the invisible lights and you have yourself an unplayable competitive mode

[placid hazel]

ta sucks tripple guy is second kills damage kd everything gain 1.2k I lose a game tripple my guy in second kd kills assist match mvp in every cat besides assists and lose 2k wonderful game

[edgy urchin]

didnt say a single thing about previous seasons, im saying this season lights are the most broken class damage wise and should be balanced out to do less damage
also I have been playing since the game got fully released in December (aka since the beginning of season 1), however I dont understand how play time makes a players opinion invalid or valid play the game for yourself and you will understand how broken light is (a majority of players will agree)
please only use this channel for giving feedback and not arguing thanks bud

day 7 of asking embark to balance the finals

[clear hemlock]

Light balanced once tk nerfed, cloak and sonar reworked.

[elder folio]

Not a good knives change, dumbass takes on dashes and db (you just got skilled diffed by a db one trick, huh?) but yeah some good takes elsewise I like recon senses back could be cool

[random bison]

Would prefer matchmaking take an extra minute or two if it means tightening rank disparity in games. Most games I get in seem to have a 20%+ diff in total team rank

[bleak fern]

does anybody else notice that stats dont track accurately, i just played a game as a light and did 5,550 damaage but it only put half of that into the challenge, what i mean is that i have a challenge that says deal 10,000 damage with light build, i pick light and go into game and do 5000 damage but it only accounts for 2500

[tough merlin]

combat isn't only damage its also kills ect. So you might have 5,550 combat score but some of that is kills and assists

[remote drift]

I AM SO MAD AT THE GAME RIGHT NOW

<insert 5 page essay with organized bullet points as to what exactly is wrong with the game and exactly the solutions that could be implemented because I'm a 3-decades-running internationally respected game designer>

Edit: @crystal umbra thanks for making an actually helpful suggestion. Too many people just rant about how they lose games because light/medium/heavy is way to OP/UP. I wish your level-headed suggestions the best in making it into the devs list

[dull tiger]

I think recon senses should go to light also mesh shield needs a buff if anything charge n slam is fine perhaps a small nerf give rocket two charges at halve dmg winch: you just don’t know how to stay more then 5 feet away from the enemy FAMAS is a fine weapon

[hazy shore]

the studio founded in 2018 might not have all the best ideas. weird concept, ik

[crystal umbra]

✨NEW FREE IDEAS✨Day 1:

The finals is lacking heavily in the community features department.

"The world's greatest gameshow" is a great opportunity foundation and a lot can come from it, so, let's talk about it:

Social Media Linking:
Add ways for us to integrate our socials and allow us to share our clips and stats.
Everyone is chasing clout and being a content creator is becoming a viable career option for some people. Become the facilitator and reap the benefits.
(Free promo and additional engagement)

Company system:
For the last 20 days I've been pasting an idea where we highly encourage the creation of "Clans" in the finals. I call them "companies" since we will be "working" with the sponsors in game for highly desirable one-time cosmetics.
(Increases player count, player hours, encourages team play, helps expand the lore a bit, & gives sponsors a more integral role in The Finals)
+Do not let me down I swear to God.

Pregame Lobby & File share system:
I don't know how the new pregame Lobby would work but the current "lobby" system is kinda bare bones and doesn't do much for community.
I completely understand opting to omit a lobby and only have us talk to team mates since the game is pretty competitive
BUT
Having an ability to share clips or view clips would be cool.
Just sharing a thought here, still, I can't help but feel like the lobbies could be done so much better...

Spectate Mode:
This one I hold dear to my heart.
Imagine, the top "companies" -as mentioned above- or top ranked contestants UNLOCK or are invited to be an in-game streamer.

Lol hear me out: in game they can now see how many of US are watching THEM play The Finals.
Kinda like, we make the top 500 leaderboard more useful since we can click on their position on the leaderboard and watch them if they are currently in game, or if they have any clips uploaded. *And this makes things more competitive since they have direct line of sight for anyone logging into the game and looking at the leaderboard.

Of course a lot of the top Finalists are already on twitch but that would be such a flex. We could also make it a twitch integration kinda thing on top.
(Nevertheless, free promo for top finalists, free promo for The Finals, even more reason to reach the top)

Thank you for your consideration 🚀

[hasty oriole]

Please lower the RS requirement for diamond.. at this point diamond is more rare than ruby...

[last swift]

Either change the look of the melee weapons to match the range of their attack or lower their attack range wtf

[brittle obsidian]

bring back class specific dailies, screw the onetrick whiners

[warm island]

havent gotten stuck in goo by simply walking next to it in a while, one thing to thank embark for

[twilit sonnet]

Please make a way to earn past circuit/contract/event items for those who’ve missed out on them.

This would give an incentive for those who’ve just started playing The Finals or those who didn’t get to finish completing them during that time period.

Since they’re free items vs the paid battle pass items they won’t cause any cause any problems.

Choose the item you want to work forwards and these can be earned via contracts or exp.

For Holiday items these can return via their respective Holiday since it makes sense during those times.

Thank you for your time!

[tough merlin]

Can we please actually fix the game's function? I don't like the update of it getting frozen on the end screen >.<

[young hamlet]

Replace June

[sturdy heron]

do you people even ban hackers in this game? the same people who get banned are back literally the next day with level 3 accounts wallhacking and aimbotting, and a few days later they're back in ruby lobbies. Ban by ip for godsake, right now its more of a slap on the wrist with a kiss than a ban

[glacial knot]

@dense gulch verify the stats of all players in world tour rank gold just final rounds mostly cheaters , you will ban many players, just verify ther stats mostly they never miss even one bullet.

[quick coyote]

A noticable amount of sniper shots are not registering, and I'm getting confirmation from the people spectating that they're seeing the same thing

[warm ivy]

DAY 4 (or maybe 5) OF ASKING FOR AN FCAR ANIMATION SET

[quick coyote]

W gane

[young hamlet]

Add a Nintendo Switch version of the finals

[plain lotus]

Why aren't there more AK skins? Too many CL40 skins

[outer plover]

When did we get the no bullet update? Last game could shoot but nothing coming out.

[brisk garden]

terminal attack still sucks. please give us ranked cashout back

[tawny oriole]

Mayn say nerf light, but light doesnt resist much damage,fire and gas and he is one shot by mine . What you should say is i prove the anti cheat because many cheaters play light cloak with xp-54 aimbot

[frigid jolt]

bring back cashout comp please!!! I do not wanna play this anymore for a rank please god kill me

[versed cloud]

Nerf TK it's so cancer

[undone harness]

Pls penalize players who just run around the map going for kills instead of objective in WT

Can we please get the music on Spotify from the Pre Alpha and Beta trailers?

[foggy yacht]

ye medium swords acutally suck in comparison to other available weapons, which is funny since the skin you get for a circuit completion is a skin for those

[thorn kelp]

It's almost like they have the lowest health pool in the game 😱

It's almost like the Model 1887 two shots Light 😱

It's almost like the Revolver has the highest DPS in the entire game if you're SKILLED 😱

[warm ivy]

okay why isnt there like more advanced statistics. I would like to see win/loss, qp win/loss, wt win/loss, ps win loss, and my kd for all those respective game modes. I want to see my kills/game, my assists/game, my damage/game, support/game, objective/game and it would be cool to be able to go through menus that could break down your numbers based on already-trackled leaderboard statistics.
(also add an fcar animations set plz)

[hazy shore]

says while playing triple medium for 3 defibs

[silk cloud]

Thanks for putting stupid "deal 500,000 structural damage" in World Tour, now I have to deal with teammates who ignore the objective and just run around smashing shit with a hammer on the opposite side of the map. Brilliant.

[unborn tangle]

the most enjoyable part of the vegas map is when the game fucking ends god that shit is awful

[versed bridge]

Riot shield is actually much better which I find hilarious

[flat solstice]

Another thought on progression: If we have to wait for months to get added progression levels because of the cosmetics then in the meantime, it'd be good if there was a passive XP boost (for gadgets/spec's) granted for completing level 96 of the battle pass. That way we can still earn more cosmetics without having to deal with an extended wait.

[foggy yacht]

it unironically is

[vale acorn]

medium dual sword should be able to vertical ninja climb walls

[teal rock]

They should add domination / zone control

[dawn finch]

dude i got banned from a game for leaving for a game i didnt even leave

[warm fjord]

The game is in my opinion in a current state of infection, hackers are everywhere EVEN IN QUICKCASH or so I think, I don't have any proof whatsoever but knowing my exact location, prefiring me, its either that or they have a crazy timing and perception and a badass ear, because that's just CRAZY, You enter a TA ranked match and you know what you find when you are a non-ranked player? A RUBY PLAYER, that matchmaking has to be fixed, honestly TA isn't as good as the old cashout ranked that was before, yes it was unbalanced but more is TA (terminal attack, I think you all know this abreviation) In my opinion people are really fucking up this game, there is a dilemma everywhere, wheter you should not nerf or buff a weapon/gadget/spec or leave it as it is, that's based on so many perspectives that when the buff or nerf is released its either they leave the game completely or they adapt to what its being released but there is rarely a player who adapts because of how greedy they've become, The devs are doing what they can and I honestly understand that but you all basing your game out of people's point of view is merely going to be a future thing, I mean a group of people saying to nerf heavy and nerf medium against people saying not to is just creating some dilemma and controversy against all classes, at this point the classes should just be removed (I'm just joking about it) I hope that they fix and change the game to an even better version of what it was because season 3 was great with the new gamepass, the new map but in my opinion TA is not as great is not what THE FINALS should have if people want to play kill and disappear that's for the most part perfect, but at the cost of losing many players because its so unbalanced and its just not the perfect thing for the finals? that is fucked up honestly.

[thorn kelp]

Actually thinking of bringing back Turrets and the "Blackout" map variant

[rough storm]

Anyone knows a decent FPS game without snipers?

[young hamlet]

Vegas is wonderful

[unborn tangle]

ok masochist

[plush grotto]

Cheating has become more rampant and harder to counter since TA came into the spotlight. We even have people DDOS’inh servers!!! Jesus Christ, what the point in grinding rank

[fresh shell]

Throwknives need at least a quarter cut out of their DPS

[warm herald]

Embark for the love of Christ. Fix your servers. The tick rate is so bad. It just randomly lags mid fight. Now they're justcrashing mid WT game...

[rugged fiber]

Fix the fucking servers, fix the ta cheating problem, and for fuck sake nerf snipers add bullet drop shit is way too easy to use and then shitty players win fights they shouldn’t

[quick coyote]

Can you use it please and post the results thanks

[patent wind]

no. its ttk is pretty bad without headshots and it requires good aim. as a sniper player i practice sniping constantly just to have mediocre aim. skill should be rewarded

[regal salmon]

Going from Playstation only to crossplay on is night and day.

• On PC, everyone knows where you are at all times.
• People jump and prefire corners where there's no possible way they'd know you were there.
• TTKs are almost instant, as every shot is a headshot, even as they jump and slide.
• Snipers consistently hit you as you're launching off a jump pad at speed.
• Grenades land exactly at your feet while completely hidden.
• People demat the floor from under you while you're nowhere near the cashout station.

It's absolute cancer. Just today we played against a team of two mids using the launcher who got to the final, and didn't miss a single shot all game. Even while both of you were jumping off pads or falling off a building.

Going back to PS-only is like stepping into a different dimsension.

[grave solstice]

nerf throwing knives

[vale acorn]

I have noticed quite a few PC players almost seem like they have have xray vision

[drowsy storm]

firework launcher skin for rpg

[rapid stream]

yay

[green wigeon]

yeah, I test the throwing knifes yesterday and made 11 frags in first game its absurd

[daring fossil]

fix the goddamn loading screen bug, it just happened to me 2 games in a row

[tawny oriole]

Go play in ranked from platin and above or world tour from gold 4 and above with throwing knife if you didnt master the knifes you will do nothing . In casual cash out there are only noobs with awful movement

[vale acorn]

roman candle skin for medium grenade launcher

[teal rock]

I get stuck on the loading screen in terminal attack and then have to reconnect to the game all the time
missing out on the round

[ember island]

This could be for tournament, or casual, or both, but fix the spawn points. More specifically, make it so that if a team with the least amount of points gets wiped, and then respawns, they respawn closer to the CashOut for a better chance at stealing it. In a similar fashion, if a team with the most amount of points gets wiped, they spawn further away; doing so does ultimately make it difficult for said team, but because they are in the lead a little bit of a challenge should be placed on them.

[coral axle]

DAY 122 OF ASKING FOR FSR 3.1 AND FRAME GENERATION!!!

[proud dagger]

Hey are you guys aware your #1 and #2 players in the world on TA are both cheating and playing on mnk using a xim

[rugged fiber]

Snipers take very little skill its for me to hit snipes so I don’t use sniper anymore cause its not fun (And even when I do use sniper I end up getting a shit team and still lose) Can’t be expected to 1v5 every round

[green wigeon]

Do you mean that that weapon in the hands of someone of a high level is even more overpowered?

[long oxide]

pls make spear rightclick better, u just get stuck in a animation, theres no skill, most of the time you die when using it, like pls, there could have been a spear spin wall kinda thing or like throwing it idk, just make it better

[teal bear]

The game balance is is the best it has been the whole time.

Each class has something broken about it with viable counters to that broken thing.

[tough berry]

Fix sledgehammer

[sleek flame]

Might as well give glitch grenades to medium since lights dont want to use them

[brave jacinth]

Anyone tracking the spear pushing the power shift platform around and even moving it ahead faster? This is genuinely an exploit. Just got a game where there was a medium with a riot shield protecting and healing a heavy that just spammed the alternate attack on barricades on the platform which pushed it forward and side to side much faster. Fix fast?

[thorn kelp]

Fun fact, there are none

[obtuse ravine]

Yall should bring back “dead go boom” modifier.

As well as make new match modifiers.

Very tiring seeing the same two almost every match.

For dead go boom, add both a very short timer, and indicator of impact zone to balance it out.

Anything go add more chaos would be good for match modifiers. Low gravity is beyond common, both invasions are kinda bad. Retro invasion 82 is a big boring

[languid valley]

It overheating was never the issue.
I think out of combat it's healing is pretty good but if you get hit it should drop the healing to 20% of it's normal amount for 1.5-2 seconds and resets every time you take damage.
On top of this increase the overheating cap to ~500 instead of the current ~350
Will finally be fun to play against, it's too powerful atm and makes turret and demat just inadequite in comparison.

[tough berry]

Ever since they removed multi-hit from the sledgehammer heavy attack I have had numerous occasions where direct hits from the heavy attack do not register (might I remind you that the glitch occurred with patch 2.8 which was the patch to fix hit validation) I feel as if removing multi-hit has removed what fixed sledgehammer in the first place, I never had this problem before multi-hits removal

[mental glacier]

wouldn't be the finals without a regular kick from server for system integrity violation

[brisk garden]

pls give ranked cashout back

[thorn kelp]

The one change I personally would love to see for Heal Beam is the overheating cap like you said

I feel like a good Medium player never really gets in the overheating stage with the Heal Beam and it's honestly easy to control

And with that in mind, make the overheating penalty a tad bit longer

[rigid cove]

dead game

[sonic thorn]

REMOVE THROWING KNIFES FROM GAME, REMOVE MESH SHIELD FROM RANKED! IF MEDIUM CANT HEAL

the "Win 3 matches in World Tour" contract should say "win 3 tournaments in world tour" because that's what it really is

Shogun styled turret skin for M that shoots arrows ( but same damage and projectile velocity obviously )

[slender oasis]

Recoil pattern on SMGs on controller feel like shit, can't properly adjust to hit consistant (to my accuracy) headshots. Might I suggest you make some changes to them? Maybe a bit less tug initially and some more depth to the variance of the movement of the recoil.

[vast obsidian]

Why doesn't embark come out and talk

If only they had known about the low number of players in TA mode before making it a main game mode

Yes, the channel is read and tracked. However, the dev team will rarely react or respond directly.
⭐ Should I ping anyone to leave feedback?
No, just drop it here. We can handle it! Please also avoid pinging Embarkers (blue roles) - it will not get your feedback to them faster.

[vast obsidian]

The problems with community feedback and in-game bugs and the fact that you're replacing rank mode with terminal mode are so serious, what's the way forward? You've never released anything, just a few innocuous updates, and players don't see any hope

[fickle linden]

It takes time to do work and make major changes. Please know that feedback, reports, and other data that we have are being used to keep improving the game, even if you don't see what you wish to see in every single update

[agile jacinth]

I like how you didn't acknowledge what he said, everyone knows it takes time to do work, people are worried because it's just been silence in the face of almost the entire community complaining about the same thing... It's just so weird for there to be no acknowledgement

[fickle linden]

Please note it has not been a month yet since the season started. Our team has never communicated hastily and has preferred to make announcements when things were ready and settled. More info about future developments will certainly come when ready

[gritty sequoia]

<<ATTENTION DEVS> I SPAWNED IN WORLDTOUR (1ST ROUND) WITH AN FCAR EVEN THO I HAVE THE SHOTGUN ON MY PRIMARY AND AK47 IN RESERVE.

PLEASE FIX IMMEDIATELY.

THANK YOU.

[broken geyser]

Allow heavy players to throw their spears. But not unlimited like the throwing knives. Instead when u throw it once u have to wait for it to come back to ur hand kinda like Thors hammer. It's literally a SPEAR. And having to wait for it to come back even to engage in close range battle prevents it from being overpowered but viable longer distances. Maybe allow players to aim and throw it through by toggling on and off the aiming mode.

2. Give more button optimisation for controller players for example triggering something or being able to choose an item with the double tap or triple of a button or swipe on the middle pad of a controller.

3. More character slots

[wheat frigate]

so sad man, me and my teammates just said final goodbyes today. All have official quit The Finals due to Season 3 being Dumpster fire..... such a shame a good game like this being ruined by incompetent Devs/Publishers. Funny thing is we all went to First Descendant lol rip

[fallen mirage]

I have a bug on the PS5 where controller vibration is not working in the practice area (very weird to shoot when you’re used to controller vibration)

[pseudo breach]

Day 87 of asking for South African servers

[fiery solar]

Just joined, but question. Didn't the team fix the backstab from the front bug? I just had two lights using dash to backstab me as a heavy, from the front. Anyone else experience that?

[verbal kayak]

I'd like to reiterate my feedback again with some of my biggest gripes with this season and that which is causing me to have less fun. For starters, the power creep and introduction of so many soft and hard crowd control options.

Combine glitch mine revealing you, the glitch effect it gives, sonar buff, hook hard stunning and displacing you all potentially and likely happening to you in one lobby, potentially all at once, and it doesn't even feel like I'm focused on the objective of the cashout anymore. I'm more focused on playing cat and mouse with things that will reveal my position or prevent my ability to take action or instantly get me killed.

We rightfully nerfed stun gun because loss of control isn't good, then add a displacement/hard stun in one with the hook. Why? Any fps game that has this mechanic it is hated.
Please consider making hook a gadget that does everything it currently does, minus the ability to affect players. Power creep and the problem of buffing by proxy. Let's take the flamethrower for example. Previously it was an underused weapon that had niche uses that could have gone with a buff or two. Now? It's an insanely frustrating tool used by heavies using hook, allowing them to forcibly stun you and place you directly in front of them with no avoiding it. Weapons like the shotguns and flamethrower are buffed by proxy by simply having silly things like the hook in the game and it's not a fun time to get hooked around a corner, and instantly dying. This season introduces a lot of questionable choices that seem fine in the surface but are frustrating in practice buffing sonar or the new glitch mine. When you run into lobbies with mostly lights, all running sonar, it feels like the enemy team has recon senses again. It feels awful and prevents mediums and heavies from making plays. Same with glitch mine, the radius is too high on it, the reveal aspect of it gives away your position, and it only compounds the other power creep.

[north sentinel]

Who else thinks lights need faster regen or a stim gadget

[icy kestrel]

Player count falling….. bring back ranked cashout…..

[quiet rapids]

i think there should be a stm gadget for medium that gives 50 extra health for aan ammount of time making you faster

[hazy shore]

thought you were a red role yesterday? lmao

[rich vapor]

Playing ranked when 2 people leave , and then loosing as much points as we are loosing rn , ans we should get more rank points if we kill a lot my suggestion would be an auto 1000- if we loose and you get 100 + rank points per kill that would balance putting me with a bunch of people that never touched rank

[somber axle]

• Give 2 amount C4
• Pls buff m60 damage
• Reduce the recoil for Lewis Gun
• Nerf Lh1
• Nerf throwing knives

[marsh raptor]

Nope

[scarlet jetty]

can we buff damage to AKM?

[fiery solar]

I second nerfing the damn throwing knives. Return the buffs to M60 and Lewis as well, or at the very least M60. Fix the knife backstab so it cannot be done that easily by dashing into people. Turn up the lights health regen (as they have become riskless glass cannons, what the hell is with that?). Focus on IMO buffing other characters to maintain parity with Lights. IMO it feels like right now Lights are in a (good) position but because every other class didn't get the buffs to bring them up to the same level, they feel awful.

[surreal hawk]

add nukes back 🗣️

FLYINGHABIT wh+aim rn, do smth idk

if the enemies were entirely their team colour when using thermal vision rather than just white it would really help readablity (same with barrels perhaps)

[mortal geyser]

four white roles holy shit

[dry moon]

Allow us to choose a map in cashout ranked, playing Kyoto 20 times in a row is soooo boring, garbage map

[civic tusk]

Please rework KS-23

1. Give it NORMAL iron sight that works
2. Make reload cancel working without shooting a round, it's not a buckshoot, if you cancel reload first round most of the times missed because you can't even aim

[misty schooner]

Spear can move the platform in platform shift lmao

[crystal willow]

Whoever put the Pulp Fiction Emote "Whaaaat?" in the game, you are my new favorite Embark Employee.

[fickle linden]

Have you reported them in game?

[marsh raptor]

Season 3 seemed like off to a super hype start especially after Season 2. I had the impression the devs were honing in and getting the game in good shape. As an avid fan of this game I know have to admit that some of the issues are too blatant to ignore. As well as concuring with the more legit grievances I have seen posted on these threads.

Notably (not in any order , or conclusively) ;

Matchmaking , In terms of just World Tour, its pretty wonky. I basically resorted to only playing when friends are available as solo queue becomes essentially babysitting completely new players to the game (literally level 1) , or even worse players who are familiar with the basics but make foolhardy decisions. I absolutely recognize the learning curve however it isnt fun to be a part of a team of 3 with the other 2 unaware of things which get them smacked . I could list several ways, but most simply is lack of knowing where the other players are / anticipation. I might as well add just poor calls ( eg running to a cashout x m away that even if there were no other players on the map wouldnt have enough time for a steal, and all too frequently in these situations there is a much closer cashout with more time on it )

Bugs , are worse than arkansas in the summer atm. Some which are worth mentioning are the infinite loading screen glitch, lag on the new map, also every once in a while when reconnecting I spawn in as a generic mid rather than with my loadout metadata, another is sometimes my weapon wont ads, or even fire. Frankly these last two are borderline unacceptable on a fps. These are just the ones im mentioning.

Terminal Attack, ... yikes. ... (to be continued because of word count. ..) be back in 15

[lime lichen]

Things I want to see in the next patch-
RPG and C&S damage nerfed by at least half
Dual blades buff (increase the magnetism and make the damage mitigation from deflecting not server dependent)
Riot shield buff/rework
Dematerializer given 4 charges
Model 1887 range nerfed
Revolver range buffed
Flamethrower range nerfed
M11 and throwing knives damage nerfed a little
Remove ability stun from stun gun again (don't know why it was added back)

[sonic wave]

i'm getting an overdose of kyoto ...

[gilded fox]

The new map is way to cluttered, it's not enjoyable - especially on TA

[dry moon]

ALLOW US TO CHOOSE A MAP pleaseeee, playing Kyoto 50 times in a row is cancer, the map sucks ass

[marsh raptor]

Contd from earlier :

Terminal Attack, ...The audience is leaving the spectator seating in the arena scotty. I actually love this when it was in rotation and wanted it to stay as a casual mode, but I def feel the decision to make it ranked was ... odd. The options in this game lead to a pretty decisive Light ( generally sniper , invis ) meta which is comparatively broken to the other options.
Its a bit grueling to sit thru the whole 13 rounds and just doesnt feel all that fun tbh.
I dont play it all anymore.

Respawns, this is more subtle, but worth the mention. I have at times respawned directly in front of the enemy team and immediately get gunned down. Often enough that it gets kind of fruatrating. Also after playing the game for a while the timers for teamwipes are a tad too long, it would be healthy to lower it by a at least a couple seconds as there are times even with good tactical plays there just isnt enough time to steal or get ahead of the vault chases. Similarily it feels like the farther respawn points can be asymmetrical to positioning, and several of these consecutively seem to lead to an unfair advantage.

Weapon balance, At the start of this Season I went thru every single weapon of every class and some just seem totally unusable as there are just all around better alternatives ( notably ks23, revolver, flowertube, 93r ). The first 3 noted there require some level of cheese to execute. The fcar soft nerf put it just behind the akm and more importantly lowered its skill expression. The revolver accuracy stats are way off too, I recently ran some tests and it does not consistently hit the same point after about 8m. Also on some melee weapons the hit boxes just dont line up with the arc of the weapon. The spear, its has a beautiful but overly fancy - impractical - 3rd person attack. The ballerina dance goes on too long to really ever come in handy. I could comment on all the weapons, but to keep it short Im just going to mention these.

[mortal geyser]

RIOT DOES NOT NEED TO BE BUFFED. IT NEEDS TO BE REWORKED.

[lime lichen]

Regardless it needs helped

[novel gust]

terminal attack ending after 1 second because people leave - dont know if people get penalised for leaving

[pseudo breach]

What is this Out of Video Memory bullshit I'm having lately? Only apps running is Finals and Steam... Never had this problem before

@sonic wave of course yes. Errors start popping up since S03, but it's a hardware issue. Makes 100% sense (also joking) lol

[simple widget]

LMAO t-pose ahh medium build

[sonic wave]

shitty computer (joking)

[weary wasp]

Destruction feels way over tuned now I don't think a couple grenades should topple a whole building. A lot of contested points the whole building crumbles even without any heavies in the game.

[mortal geyser]

If the riot didn't get insta killed by pyro (which is a bug and unintentional), if arrows didn't get stuck in your vision, if the winchclaw didn't go straight through the riot shield, if glitch mines disabled heavies mid charge, if the sword duals and sledge ignore the shield, if heavies didn't have to take a quick melee to kill, if the sideways shield blocked flamethrower while bishoping, IF MEDIUM ACTUALLY HAD GOOD GADGETS FOR SYNERGY WITH RIOT, if you could actually have riot equipped on your back like the pan in PUBG, if the contant noise that the riot makes while walking is changed, if the riot didn't cover 95 percent of your vision when picking up a cashbox, if the riot would negate some melee damage while blocking like blades (including slam), if Embark actually nerfed the RPG...

only then... will the riot be balanced.

[severe geyser]

fix ur game pls the game lag spikes when there's something that explodes literally unplayable

[bleak geode]

If possible embark please buff the damage and provide more skins to 93R please.

Please, Embark, my Char in Finals looks like Trinity from Matrix, but i neeeeeeeed the long black leather coat and the fullbody latex suit for my Trinity char 🙂 The matrix emote would be cool too 😄
maybe the landing of trinity after the bike ride (with the leg spread away if you know)

• Remove Terminal Attack
• Terminal Attack RS system doesn't work when you have no Skill Based Match Making, boosted/smurf players heavily influence your RS
• If I solo queue I shouldn't go up against a 3,4 or 5 stack, it should only be other solo queue players
• Play Test your game, none of these issues would be present if you did play testing (You can die off spawn in Terminal Attack)
• Add regular ranked
• Better Anti Cheat (DMA Bypasses Easy Anti - Cheat, that's why you have a cheater epidemic)
• Balance
• Skill Based Match Making (Why is there unranked/bronze playing with/against diamonds in ranked)
• A lot of unranked players are cheaters, they ruin ranked for everyone else and once they get banned they make a new account,** Better Anti Cheat or IP Ban is the only solution **
• Remove snipers and melee's <3

The Finals devs are the most incompetent dev team I've ever seen, it's so obvious the issues of the game some playtesting will reveal it, but they don't play test.

[remote loom]

@fickle linden what are the possibilities of reverting sliding to how it was before 3.1 or something like that

Dear The Finals, please add minimum level to play Tournaments to at least lv 15 or 20, thank you

Tic tac, tic tac.
It is a matter of time before this game dies, and all thanks to the developers, they alone have ensured that players have less and less interest. A shame, it seemed like a great product...but with poor management.

Im hoping the devs are in a "all-hands-on-deck" meeting to keep the game afloat

Here are a few ways that can improve the shield, as it underperforms against any other ranged and melee weapon. 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)
• The shield should block a larger area of the body to make it more consistent at blocking melee, bullets, and splash damage. Players with decent aim can easily hit the arms and legs which defeats the whole purpose of it.
• Blocking melee attacks should inflict a knockback to prevent melee weapons from clipping through and scoring a second hit with the active frames.
• Increase the melee range, even just +1m of range would make it feel so much better to catch enemies that were just outside your range before.
• Electrify the baton and allow it to glitch enemies for a very short period, it would provide a lot of team utility and prevent dash lights and charge and slam heavies from effortlessly hard countering shielders

FIX THE RIOT SHIELD BUGS:

• When picking up throwables in the arena, the first person shield model gets messed up and blocks your entire screen.
• Remove the fov zoom in and turning speed reduction when you raise the shield to block, it makes it overly clunky to use and feels terrible in a fast pace environment.
• Pyro grenades "stick" to the shield and burn the player forever, making it also impossible to see

GIVE SMOKE GRENADES TO ALL CLASSES:

• Give smoke grenade to all classes! It would open so many strategies for the other builds! I would use smoke so much if it was on medium, especially to better support my team against fire, detection sources, or to help revive teammates, and steal cashouts in an open area.

FIX THE GLITCH TRAP:

• Glitched heavy can still use the winch claw and it doesn't stop chargeNslam

[vernal path]

Haha

[topaz seal]

Solo play is completely pointless against premades, and I cannot find enough friends that want to play this game

[unique rain]

Hackers 8/10 matches in high elo wake up

[austere vector]

This game desperately needs a box reset time if it goes out of the map , this is the 3rd time this Shìt has happened and we’re forced to sit in the game

[boreal sentinel]

New map idea: Seaside carnival. American style. Horror attraction full of unexpected traps and shit.

[surreal meadow]

GAMEMODE IDEAS:

(Casual)

• 3v3 Quick Cash
• 5v5 Quick Cash
• Team Death Match
• Solo Death Match
• Infection (1/2/3 players infected off start, humans ranged only / zombies melee only, slowly grow more powerful)
• Prop Hunt
• 3v3 One Terminal - Terminal Attack

_ _
(Ranked)

• 3v3 Quick Cash Ranked (band aid fix for the third party problem in cash out tournament format rn, but its a fix none the less)
• (SEPARATE FROM CASHOUT RANKED) 5v5 Terminal Attack Ranked

@rapid stream its an extra gamemode for people to mess around & troll eachother in, not a sweat fest 24/7. guarantee people said the same thing in CoD, Halo, GMod servers etc, and look how its doing

@topaz seal what gamemodes

[arctic bramble]

this game deserves to die for adding terminal attack

[hybrid dock]

I’m seriously asking if anyone play tested the new season before they shit it out to the public dude I have now wiped three fucking times because we spawned into an engagement of two other teams. Couple that with the cockroach heavies and the ACTUALLY invisible light players who are gifted recon as a second crutch, and all competitive matches are useless

[rapid stream]

This game does not need prop hunt literally just play gmod

[topaz seal]

list all the gamemodes then if you are at it already

[swift stream]

Day 1 of asking for throwing knives nerf

[stuck trench]

I would like to point out that I've been an avid hater of Terminal Attack since day 1 and yall hated me for it 🤷‍♂️

[remote loom]

the lh1 is nerfed brother, the rpm is significantly reduced

[quartz dirge]

Is nerfing damage by one and removing/significantly reducing the visual recoil that made it harder to use really a nerf?

[night dune]

good i got another suspension, nobody wants to play this game in its current state anyway. yawn

[long wolf]

I havent been able to play the game for a few weeks now because the game doesnt even start just crashes

[hazy shore]

using winch claw should cancel any swings of the hammer or spear

[obsidian sail]

I would love an aim trainer so much. I get “just play the game to git gud”, but man it would be nice to build muscle memory with some realistic target practice so I don’t get one opportunity, get stomped, then have to wait another minute for another opportunity to try to fix something with my aim. Really slows down gitting gud.

Tired of shooting at walls to learn recoil and trying to be creative with how I run around in a circle before shooting at a stationary or very slow moving dummy.

[deep summit]

Day 21 of being ignored by The Finals Devs

• Remove Terminal Attack
• Terminal Attack RS system doesn't work when you have no Skill Based Match Making, boosted/smurf players heavily influence your RS
• If I solo queue I shouldn't go up against a 3,4 or 5 stack, it should only be other solo queue players
• Play Test your game, none of these issues would be present if you did play testing (You can die off spawn in Terminal Attack)
• Add regular ranked
• Better Anti Cheat (DMA Bypasses Easy Anti - Cheat, that's why you have a cheater epidemic)
• Balance
• Skill Based Match Making (Why is there unranked/bronze playing with/against diamonds in ranked)
• A lot of unranked players are cheaters, they ruin ranked for everyone else and once they get banned they make a new account,** Better Anti Cheat or IP Ban is the only solution **
• If you shot and then you died the bullets don't count, do the bullets magically stop mid air? it should count after death especially if its hit scan
• Remove snipers and melee's <3

The Finals devs are the most incompetent dev team I've ever seen, it's so obvious the issues of the game some playtesting will reveal it, but they don't play test.

[mortal geyser]

The fuck are these ideas

[gusty juniper]

There is an issue with Packet loss this season, I can barely move some games. My internet is fine and my router is new

[surreal meadow]

extra gamemodes? reason most people dont play this game cause of the unique gamemodes, not the movement or destruction. you want more players? add in playlists that have simple variations of TDM or popular arcade-ish modes. most of the playerbase are 30-40 dads trying to blow off steam after work and not think much about the game, outside of "i see, i shoot, i win"

[wispy sand]

Lower smoke nade cooldown by like 5 seconds please

[wicked dragon]

Keeps kicking me out saying server timeout, and when I leave the game I get a time ban wtf bro!

[worn horizon]

why are such names even allowed

[tender kraken]

That's crazy😭

[rough herald]

i was crazy once!

[long wolf]

prertty buggy fun when it works

[pseudo breach]

Been complaining about this for some time now. The mine is somehow active before it's placed and it gets shot. But once placed, I see the enemy dance on them because it's not active yet. Also, if you throw a mine and get killed before the animation is done, the mine disappears

[stray wing]

I would love a concept, were you can try on different cosmetics, even more than one you’re not owning already. That way you can mix cosmetics, look how they look together, invent a new style and if you like it you can buy the single things you don’t own already. So far you can only look at an entire set or one only cosmetic what isn’t yours added to your current style

[dry raft]

Just cancel and reset games where there was a cheater.

[inland cove]

pls delete the sniper

[bleak nexus]

Cloak remains overpowered at high elo

[midnight kite]

35 messages lol

[rough herald]

???????????????? cloak are op in low elo not high elo
i can see cloak pretty reliably (also i don't play ta because nothing is balance there)

[quick coyote]

Embark can u wake up embark cheaters ? are u scared to make some counter against them ? or just u sleep & u wont stop the game ? The game will just die before 2025 ❤️ 🙂

[dry raft]

I'm Ruby and everyone play cloak cause it's OP in TA.
Not in cashout

[inland cove]

pls delete sniper it sucks all the fun out of the game for me

[neon narwhal]

Is it normal to get stuck under the platform in powershift and die miserably as a heavy?

[vale acorn]

Got the healing beam not working glitch in world tour

[quiet tide]

Should put crowd interaction as a sound effect under commentators/dialoge or it's own slider to mute besides SFX.

[midnight kite]

What's up guys

[red knot]

Punish people for playing as an only heavy,light or medium team.
I'm getting sick of seeing those people annoying everyone in the match because of that

[gaunt granite]

It would be nice to have a Out of Healing callout.
Sometimes people just like to tank bullets since they are getting healed and then are unaware when I run out.

[shut cosmos]

Can you please add some form of sbmm to WT? Or if not SBMM at least some form of level matching system? I really shouldn’t be getting matched with brand new players. I wouldn’t mind if they had VC on and I could help guide them but it’s really frustrating to be level 60, Diamond, top 1200 WT rank being matched with unranked level 16 players with their mics off

Also, the DC, leaver, and griefer issues in WT really diminish the experience.

Lastly, please nerf RPG damage 🙂

[sonic salmon]

idk maybe fix issue where after everygame i have to restart the game since im stuck at connecting

[stray wing]

I want to make an addition to my idea of a movementspeed increasing gadget for light. I still think it would be a fun idea, but to make it more balanced I could image, that after the time ran out for increasing your movement speed, there is a really short time of exhaustion. After the, idk 15 seconds or so increased speed, there could be 2 seconds or something, were you move slower than normally as a tradeoff.

[fallow idol]

YES

[oblique sand]

If the traps are randomly generated around the map, no absolutely not, if the map is designed with traps in specific places, that could be cool

[fleet trellis]

got a bug. When they tried to revive me, and then i respawn on my own. I couldn't catch the first gadget of my inventory (fire grenade). I didn't use it, and as we see on those screenshots, i had the fire grande (1) but i couldn't get it

[mossy cape]

pyro nade and thermal vision buff pls

[mossy karma]

Nerf stun gun...

[tough pebble]

Any advice for fps optimisation ? Also would be great to have an ingame feature to see them pls

[burnt notch]

Just enable FPS counter for steam overlay

Go to steam settings, then go to overlay, and enable FPS counter with high-contrast text

[willow violet]

anyone been using demat and noticing when you use it sometimes it uses the ability and the wall is still there

[quick coyote]

just delete this game & work for a other game pls

[young hamlet]

You're just a ray of sunshine aren't you

[rough herald]

i turn it into a gif

[faint flame]

I think the rank system is RNG, it makes no sense. Like 0.

[topaz seal]

I feel like the devs made cashout a tournament mode just to not have any kind of rank balancing in it.
Season 1 had the best gunplay.
Heavy has been nerfed from a tank role to an engineer essentially because of the constant shield and gun nerfs. Shields feel useless and so does the barricade because it just invites players to set it on fire and make it into a hazard instead.

[mossy karma]

Nerf stun gun give back splash damage to sledge secondary dumb devs
Reviev-bombing was well deserved

[rapid depot]

I’m an OSPUZE enjoyer but…maybe too much 😂

[cold saddle]

dont know why the dev still havent implement a class limit game mode or class limit in rank match yet. its so annoying dealing with 3 lights constantly being pesky or 3 mediums constant rez

[patent wind]

sledge player. honestly skill issue if you get stunned just put up a barricade, or just play cover more like you should with any melee weapon and you wont be as easily killed

[river hill]

Be able to see your previous match stats

[young hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/fade-emoji-funny-gif-25240293

[burnt notch]

Finally some good suggestions

[pseudo latch]

Day 109 of me begging the devs to give heavy an M134 Minigun as a Specialization.

• 200 Round magazine, ammo is restored four bullets every second, 50 seconds for a full reload.
• 20 rounds per second, eleven damage a round, 220 DPS. No headshot modifier to keep DPS from becoming insane.
• 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, you’re probably not getting higher than 150 DPS even as far as 10 meters.
• 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 mid-combat is a commitment, one that could get you killed.
• - gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

Also check out this cool bird I found

[rough herald]

Zippy bugged list

• zippy stuck on trees
• zippy goes on ground (when im looking at a roof)
• zippy disappear

Melee is fully offensive playstyle
Dont even start talking if u dont know shit

It’s not

[crystal umbra]

✨FREE IDEA✨ Day 22

"Hey bro, do you wanna join our company?"

Encourage us to play and make friends. I'm talking about make The Finals about team play (Way too much solo culture in ranked)

They need to make a "squad" system next season.
For obvious reasons I believe this idea will lead to a exponential engagement effect, let me explain:

"Squads" or "Companies" should be able to select or vote for sponsors:
-Vaiiya
-Volpe
-Engimo
-Ospuze
Etc.

During the season we should be able to grind for "fame" so we can get company drip (cosmetics) for completing these "company contracts".
(Gives me reason to hop back on the game, me and my friends are working towards a goal now. +++ Add Bonus Points for playing with company mates)

This may take the place of circuits but I think my ideas fits the theme of the game-show AND this gives people a reason to play with friends and implore their friends to hop on The Finals with them.

Create specialized cosmetics for these sponsors. Once your company selects one they are locked in for specialized one-time cosmetics.

This creates urgency AND rarity since -for example- the season 4 OSPUZE set will never show up again. (Same for Engimo, Vaiiya, etc.)
Remember, ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ONE SEASON

Top companies (companies with the most "fame" or money cashed out) are showed on the World Tour leaderboard.
There they should be able to display or link their Twitch and other socials.

✨((MAKE YOUR CONTESTANTS STARS))✨
Appeal to human nature and give us something to talk about amongst ourselves. Give us something to brag about.
"Oh shxt, that's Ottr from 'x' Company".

In real life athletes have sponsor drip, well in The Finals - The world's greatest game-show - it's no different.

We get to flex our specialized drop from our favorite sponsors (opportunity to expand the lore)
And the top, most loyal finalists get shouted out.

Thanks for your consideration 🚀

[red knot]

I play healer and i approve this idea 💯

[analog ibex]

Ranked game being TA when that’s the ONLY mode that limits gadgets is crazy!

[sinful perch]

could we get mines nerfed just a bit

[chilly siren]

Can we make a separate LFG for Ranked and WT please

[severe girder]

You've ruined this game. You made a challenge explicitly part of World Tour to do damage to the arena, and also made a challenger challenge the same as well. I just got stuck with teammates who only destroyed the map, both of them, for 80% of the map. They wouldn't be doing that if you didn't make it a literal challenge....what the actual fuck?

[rough ember]

When is Embark going to fix the loading screen bug? I am forced to quit the game from ranked, and I either get a 30 minute ban, or the game gets cancelled because i cant rejoin in under a minute and I get banned

[mossy karma]

👍 🔥

[smoky gust]

that is, if the barricade doesn't bug out and you actually get to place it
in which case you still take damage, because barricade has a delay
and this "counter" is easily avoided by literally just walking around it

you shouldn't be forced to waste a slot to be allowed to play the game and this is especially bad because it offers so little

[crystal umbra]

🔥🔥🔥

[hybrid dock]

Let’s give the lights sonar but take it away from the medium because that’s super fair it’s not like they can go invisible or anything

[ivory pike]

Nerf the medium grenade launcher PLEASE!!!

[dense laurel]

Neva! Take a look at this. Yes, it's a screenshot taken in game.

[inland cove]

what? that is probably the second worst gun in the game rn only riot-shield is worse

[last swift]

Matchmaking has to change everything about it is just painful. Time to wait, unbalanced teams, smurfs, etc.
My last game I had 3 teammates lower than level 5, you could tell they were very new. It can’t be fun for them either. No wonder why the player retention sucks

[deep summit]

• There are many smurf cheaters that are griefing because they is no skill based match making
• Remove Terminal Attack
• Terminal Attack RS system doesn't work when you have no Skill Based Match Making, boosted/smurf players heavily influence your RS
• If I solo queue I shouldn't go up against a 3,4 or 5 stack, it should only be other solo queue players
• Play Test your game, none of these issues would be present if you did play testing (You can die off spawn in Terminal Attack)
• Add regular ranked
• Better Anti Cheat (DMA Bypasses Easy Anti - Cheat, that's why you have a cheater epidemic)
• Balance
• Skill Based Match Making (Why is there unranked/bronze playing with/against diamonds in ranked)
• A lot of unranked players are cheaters, they ruin ranked for everyone else and once they get banned they make a new account,** Better Anti Cheat or IP Ban is the only solution **
• If you shot and then you died the bullets don't count, do the bullets magically stop mid air? it should count after death especially if its hit scan
• Remove snipers and melee's <3

The Finals devs are the most incompetent dev team I've ever seen, it's so obvious the issues of the game some playtesting will reveal it, but they don't play test. If the devs tried playing ranked they would fix it, but they don't

[young hamlet]

Remove snipers and melees?
What are you smoking and can I get some?

[frozen pelican]

copy pasting the same message in this channel every day isn't going to make them give you what you want

[rapid depot]

Fantastic 😍

[queen shale]

fix KS, why does a slug weapon have scatter effects where aiming minimizes spread? why cant a slug headshot? why is a slug ass from range? this weapon feels great to use but is in reality ass. its legit the worst shotgun and the only thing making it good right now is hook. can we change its properties to actually work like how it should?

[plain kindle]

The Defibrillator is too much of a mandatory ability for Medium.
So much so that if you don't bring it, you are considered to be throwing/trolling.

I propose to integrate it into the Healing Beam specialization since it fits perfectly with it.

• When activating the Healing specialization, you can scroll to switch between Heal Beam and Defib.
• To balance this change, I think Defib should be nerfed in terms of cooldown.
• This will make the defib a bit more meaningful and impactful in those clutch situations.

An interesting way to make the 2 parts of this specialization more fun to use would be to have them interact with each other. Imagine this:

• The Defibrillator has a very long cooldown that can be reduced by healing teammates.
• If you overheat your Healing Beam, it also pauses the cooldown timer of the Defib for its duration.
• When you Defib someone, your Healing Beam meter is reset to full capacity.

This will also free up the Medium class to choose more gadget combinations

[stuck rock]

lewis gun buf when?

[tough pebble]

Would be amazing to have overtime in powershift

[cold lotus]

embark do you guys even look at this channel fix the game Bruh What is You Doin

[burnt notch]

Stun gun isn’t even that strong compared to the pre-nerfs in S2, if you find urself unable to do anything while stunned, THATS a skill issue.

[rapid stream]

daily 2 hour ban! (FIX INFINITE LOADING SCREEN BUG)

[cosmic sedge]

no they don't lmao

[barren wyvern]

🫡 OSPUZE appreciates your effort

[mossy karma]

Logic of a genius 🤡

RPG isn't even that strong compared to the pre-ners

Hopefully devs bring back 180 dmg so melee Heavies will have a free-kill-for-a-noob gadget in their inventory too

[acoustic storm]

I wish they were. But there are so many bugs that have been reported that literally break the game for some people. E.g. unable to do shit after being hit by the winch claw etc. that won't get fixed.
The game is a bug ridden mess at this point. The game is extremely fun and great. But it gets ruined by all those buggy inconsistencies.

[last swift]

My suggestion is to actually read and acknowledge the feedback channels.
If devs even just responded to a few feedback messages we would know that you’re at least listening. Tell us you’re working on it, or tell us why you won’t make a change.

[idle crest]

fix the rubble be able to trap ppl from moving. stupid rubble ..

[warm mauve]

Can you guys STOP putting me in games that are nearly finished? It already takes 5 minutes to go from game to lobby to next game already.

[jagged cedar]

"I cant kill melee players as the class thats existence hard counters melee players"

[tender sail]

Why the fuck is my entire team unranked in TA and the entire enemy team is ranked.

[analog latch]

do you stop gaining battle pass xp after reaching level 60??

[rapid stream]

no?

[wispy sand]

Bring back hammer multi hit, there's more logic and reasoning behind it than Sword lunge having multi hit.

[edgy urchin]

day 8 of asking embark to balance the finals!

[smoky gust]

throwing knives sharing dps with all other weapons while also having infinite ammo
lights getting free kills on melee players with stun gun
heavy straight up deleting people with rpg
winch claw punishing people for existing
mediums getting full teams back up in 5 seconds with defib+heal

no

[last swift]

As long as they get rid of its unrealistic range sure

@solid dune heavy’s literally have spear now for extra melee range, the hammers range is crazy compared to its actual size and attack animation

[young hamlet]

Riot shield still barely works
It ain't balanced

[burnt notch]

U really just want to kill people as easily as possible huh?

@jagged cedar exactly (ur not mocking me, are you?

[vague tide]

never because the game is about lights

[west anchor]

nerf hammer range and damage. its ubsurd for a melee to have such range

[stuck rock]

you know what your right, no need to buff an underpowered class

[solid dune]

No, hammer is fine.

[mossy karma]

U either trolling or dumb af

[manic compass]

They're trolling, yet you want a nerf for a mid gadget and want a 180 damage rpg? if you can't kill a light off the 140, thats called a skill issue.

[cobalt coyote]

After 100 hours in TA solo queue I give up on Embark and this game. Anyone who knows The Finals well can see hundreds of obvious flaws and issues which have been created and then ignored. Embark won't read this, if they did they've proven they don't care, and this isn't for anyone else, I just wish to have closure on this failed season by publicly saying I'm done. Literally anything said in this channel is pointless, the only changes that will happen will be backwards, out of touch, and plain stupid. The game's not balanced for the highest skilled players and the game's not balanced for the casualy skilled players. I honestly don't believe Embark will repair any of this. Goodbye

[violet elbow]

can we just nuke throwing knives again? they arent healthy for the game and they support a playstyle that doesnt fit light at all, reason why so many dogpiss shitters play the class in casuals now

[rigid oxide]

I feel like you guys took over the Overwatch genre after they started putting out bad quality

I freaking love this game, it really stole my heart 🌹

(figured some positive feedback never hurts)

[patent wind]

everytime i play sledge i drop 40 kills a tourney. sledge doesnt need a buff. and stun is easy to counter

[gaunt granite]

Suspended structures sucks. It's unfun and just a trash way to lose. Either make it all red barrels or increase the amount.

[candid belfry]

Is anyone else having an issue with the quick cash private matches

[earnest sierra]

i really don't know exactly if this would fit the finals or not, but i would love to see an extraction mode in the finals, probably it will never be done but i think the chaotic nature of this game and the dynamic destruction and all that good stuff with vehicles coming somewhere in the future, i think it would be amazing or maybe not but i feel the gunplay in the finals somehow suits an extraction game mode, probably this won't happen but imagine💙 + a change in the movements in this game would be a HUGE improvement, i have seen some movement kits or i think they've called animation tool kits in UE5 5.4 update that just makes the movement and camera movements and climbing and vaulting and all things related to movement or camera way way better, I'm not saying the movement in the finals is bad it's really great compared to 99% of any other fps lol, but those toolkit is used in the finals in somewhere the far future changing the movements and camera a lil bit bettet that would be so great to make it more...fluid? idk how to put it but it would just be better

[mossy karma]

Read our conversation with Free-from-brain Mexican again

I want this game to be balanced
This buddy appears out of nowhere and says that current stun gun is totally fine and that being unable to survive it as a melee Heavy is skill issue

After this, following his logic, i say that 180 dmg RPG would be fine and "balanced" too

@patent wind of course i believe you 🤣
Whats ur in-game nickname? Wanna smash your little funny dreamer head into the floor if we ever meet in the game

[thick sorrel]

Skill issue. You can counter it with gadgets. Heavy main complains about stun while having free kill RPG and winchclaw... wtf is wrong with u?

Tell me, would you switch RPG with Stun? Oh wait, winchclaw is like stun just better...

[patent wind]

also you can just throw down a dome shield. you have a whole roster of gadgets that you can use while stunned

[plain lotus]

Not enough AKM skins, too many CL40 SKINS

[twin carbon]

Make Orf Backpack game Season 4 Ranked

[dull hemlock]

Obligatory "Fix bugs." Like actual major bugs. Gateway becoming unusable, heal beam becoming unusable, winch claw breaking dash, hit reg remains terrible, infinite load screens, inability to interact with anything, etc.

Do something about RPG. It's been months with it snapping heavy's balancing in half.

Also lol Terminal Attack. Still baffled about that whole thing.

[mossy karma]

Another crybaby Light... RPG should be nerfed too as well as Winch Claw

"Winch claw is like stun just better" — sure dude of course it is 😆
Wish i could dash out of stun with at least some HP remaining

@patent wind
You really think i always carry around a dome shield?

If you did at least 1/4 of kills with Sledge you pretend you do every tournament you would know that melee Heavy is a fully offensive playstyle character and Dome Shield is almost always used for pushing

• even if you didn't consume Dome Shield, by the moment you switch to it and finally deploy it you will most likely have around 0 HP

Little stupid liar

[timber helm]

Will THE FINALS ever get steam trading cards? it would be cool to have a THE FINALS badge on my profile, just saying

[oblique sand]

how do i lose a game of power shift when i almost make it all the way to the end of the map, and my opponent only makes it to half way? shouldn't it be that the team that makes it the furthest wins?

[oak mural]

would also make you lots of money Embark you get a cut every time a card is sold if i remember

[brisk star]

I think the limit of 6 loadouts is somewhat limiting given we have several gamemodes now.

Ranked match cancellation doesn't trigger if the missing player didn't connect to the game initially.

[echo urchin]

New mode idea:

Cash Grab: in the practice arena is that wall where you can try throwing the cube through different holes. That got me thinking how fun it would be to have a football style game mode.

• Two teams battling over one cube, trying to snag it and throw it into one of the holes on the other team’s wall to score points.
• I’m thinking 6v6: GK Heavy, Two Medium midfielders, 3 light attackers.
• Squad wipe would be a guaranteed goal though. So, maybe no respawn timer so the focus is always on out playing the other team and not just going for squad wipes.
• It could be done by using smaller sections of the maps that exist.

[plain kindle]

lol, underrated comment

[golden cloak]

please just put normal regen in TA, still no heal beams maybe but its jsut battlefield atp, everyone is sat with invis thermal vision, sniping from across the map. extremely boring and unfair

[verbal kayak]

Can we please stop putting power shift in the circuit? I hate being forced to play this crappy boring game mode. Also reduce the frequency of which kyoto appears. Tired of it and its my least favorite map by far.

[warm herald]

Also limit the number of the same class or build type. Playing against 5 mediums with APS turret defib spam is getting old.

[oblique sand]

very helpful feedback

[upper citrus]

Daily and weekly leaderboards would do wonders for casual players. Everybody loves their name being displayed on a leaderboard and these would give a reasonably achievable way for casual players to do this continue to play. Minimal effort on your part too

we already are, top 500 is in plat and below. it takes less effort to reach top 500 than diamond and queue times are atrocious

[olive fulcrum]

nice. gj team

[latent meteor]

does ingame push to talk feel buggy to anyone else?

[next mortar]

I queue up World Tour, play some of the sweatiest games of my life, outperform the opponents to win, but what for? I get no rewards for out-playing my opponent in this gamemode. 50% of players Sweat like it's ranked - since there's 0 alternative, and the other 50% camp with snipers since there's no incentive to win. It's the worst of both worlds. We dont get rewards for sweating, and we dont get a casual experience either. If you're going to make me work my pants off to win in world tour, can I at least get some rewards for it? If I could ask for one thing - can we get some more transparency or communication? Season 1 we had updates from you guys way more often and had questions answered here in the discord. We all just feel a little left in the dark. This of course is not your intentions, but it's coming off that way and scaring all the streamers, creators and many casuals away.

It'd also be nice to know if Map Variations are coming any time soon or any actual changes to the mode. Cashout was removed from Ranked to "be tweaked" but so far we've heard of no changes at all? Would be nice to hear about anything cooking at Embark. Thank you guys, look forward to seeing more patches and content!

whats happing

[last swift]

Just played world tour, spawned in without a third teammate and another team did as well. In the logs nobody left, after matchmaking it was just me and my teammate. Same with the other team

[simple parrot]

hopefully in the future you can spectate your friends' games

[pulsar jay]

world tour map rotation limits it way too much, ive had 5 monaco games in a row and im sick of it

[paper plinth]

no reg on the wintch claw first shot is very frustrating

[regal salmon]

At what point do we start saying the Light Dash is a problem?

It's far more powerful than Grapple or Cloak. It comes back stupidly fast too.

It really needs either two charges max, or a huge increase on the cooldown recharge.

[crude saffron]

just fucking get rid of double barrel at this point. it's unfun to play against and with

[gaunt perch]

Any chance you bring back iron sight XP-54 and unsuppressed M11? MP5 iron sights are my favourite, and the unsuppressed M11 sounded fantastic

Also ban Sniper Rifle in Power Shift, completely overpowered in that mode

[verbal kayak]

Daily reminder hook needs to be removed. Server side calculations on everything and this game's bad tickrate leads to getting hooked around corners and one shot constantly. STUNS/DISPLACEMENT DO NOT BELONG IN FPS GAMES! REMOVE WINCH CLAW.

[twin carbon]

Day Fourteen of asking for TA mode ranked to be changed back to Cashout
(14/100 left to go)

[viral quiver]

Nerf knives there are two oppressive they should not be able to be thrown that fast with no reload why is thing a thing I’m running a team full of lights with knives and it’s the most aggressive push with no site of not getting hit because they don’t need to reload and they just hold down the button

It makes sense on the bow, but knives are just barrel stuffing shotguns with no reload

@burnt notch using voice to text not actually typing

[burnt notch]

A full paragraph in two sentences

Impressive

[oak mural]

you should not push the platform in Power shift while Cloaked nor should you be able to steal Etc

[quick coyote]

Think I just got bored of the game mid match lol

[glacial knot]

Sound like Skill issue because, lights do not resist damage, fire and are one shot by mines. If you have all this features, and therfore struggling means skill issue without a doubt
.

[oak mural]

yes the 60 dmg per hit Fully Automatic Short range Revolvers with unlimited ammo is fair and balanced 👍

[viral quiver]

Sounds like a way to ignore the problem but OK let’s play by your rules.

1.This would imply I’m playing as a medium… also camping in a room because mines aren’t mobile and they take time to set

2.Fire isn’t a Insta kill

3. I’m also playing as a light so you’re wrong I’m using an XP 54 but I shouldn’t have to switch to knives to feel like I got a chance when I switch I can at least go kill for kill

4.One headshot from one and a body shot projectile Insta kills me no reload unlimited ammo 60 damage per hit is definitely fair and balanced

5.No speed penalty when shooting when I’m shooting an SMG and scope in I can’t strife as fast as when I’m hit firing when they shoot their knives, they can strafe perfectly fine this combined with an invasive dash is the most annoying oppressive weapon.

But if it’s a skill issue because I can sit in a room with mines set and maybe a turret then I guess your gameplay must be in a nice fire place and a tent.

Day One of asking for TA mode ranked to be changed to Orf backpack season 4
(1/100 left to go)

[shut cosmos]

With world tour leaderboards being based on amount of $$ cashed out, can we make the final round worth significantly more to actually incentivize winning the whole thing. Feels bad getting more cash in rounds one and two than in the finals.

[drifting lintel]

HEALING BEAM NEEDS URGENT NERF! Should have a certain percentage amount... example 30%, then once 0% is reached, a wait time occurs, like 2 minutes before back to 30%, then repeats. Needs serious nerf, Embark! Please revise it

[somber axle]

• Give 2 amount C4
• Pls buff m60 damage
• Reduce the recoil for Lewis Gun
• Nerf Lh1
• Nerf throwing knives
• BRING BACK RANKED CASHOUT

[paper ivy]

if were gonna keep terminal ranked can we pls change it to tournament style so each game isn't like an hour long, it would be much more fun if we could win one round and move up the ladder like the world tour. Im BEGGING for a new game mode with more then 3 players, cashout, deathmatch, anything

[fair osprey]

I'ma say this again.
Everyone's experience with the servers have been degrading more and more since halfway of Season 2, and it's yet to get any better. Regardless of this being more user-sided and different for everyone, this NEEDS to be fixed and worked on IMMEDIATELY

[visual turret]

I just had my third final round world tour crash, and it freezes my computer again, and it pops an unreal process has crashed page. Seriously this is disgusting

[onyx tiger]

please introduce some incentive structure to lessen third party to make cashout more competitive

[hasty oriole]

Man, I have been a huge supporter of this game... I've stayed positive through everything.. but I'm hitting a wall.. I'm really starting to hate ranked TA.. It's all I've played because I want the diamond skin for the lewy.. but 50k is a ridiculous amount of RS considering the terrible matchmaking. I'm a solo queue.. There are only ~200 player with that amount... so diamond at this point is more rare than ruby... I started today working my way up to 37.5k RS, did well most games but got bad teams and have been obliterated down to 33k.. This last match I went positive (9/8 - only person on team to go positive) and my team was out matched by 40k RS and I lost 1.2k!!! STUPID... The ranked TA and the amount of RS you're locking the diamond lewy behind is really upsetting. To the point where I don't even want to play the game anymore. It's so obviously flawed and its the main mode... why even switch?! Really sucks cause I love this game so much... It;s worse that I feel this way now and we are at the very beginning of the season....

[rough herald]

patch when? game is getting so boring now

[feral shell]

please add a cooldown to throwing knives and directional damage indicators when being hit by them

[daring fossil]

as someone who mained LH1 since beta, its fucking garbage now, please revert to s2 stats, no one asked for this

[edgy urchin]

day 8 of asking embark the balance the finals!

[cold lotus]

EMBARK EHAT IS U DOIN

[tender minnow]

fix loading screen bug its soooo bad

[marsh raptor]

Lh1 seems to be back to season 1 stat area or am i totally off ? Played it a few times then and then again recently .

[daring fossil]

it does 1 less damage, much slower fire rate, but they "buffed" the recoil. but along with the slower fire rate it over all was a nerf and feels really terrible to use. It's problem before was how often you would die while leaving enemies at 2-5hp, now you die before you can even get that shot in to put them at 2-5hp

[junior igloo]

agreed, but two minutes! 😂 the game will be over by then

[fleet night]

its been like 3 days in a row with teams just throwing or actively teaming and working together. its realllly bad rn 😬

[boreal sentinel]

New map idea: Seaside carnival. American style. Horror attraction full of unexpected traps and shit. If ferris wheel is destroyed, it will roll all the way in the map until it reached and fall at the entrance. Anyone who gets in the way will be squashed. Roller coasters can be ride by players for long range advantage point. House of mirrors will have the best advantage to hide from players. Circus is filled with destroyable explosives (not red canister).

[thorn kelp]

Against two Lights using Throwing Knives btw, while using the supposed "worse version of M60", Lewis Gun

My other Heavy ran Sledgehammer and we got the job done

For the love of God STICK WITH YOUR TEAM 👏

[marsh raptor]

The recoil makes the whole thing seem like its going to backflip outta ones hands lol. I like it, seemed effective, but felt like was pretty hard to ads properly. I wanted to shoot it a tad slower to line em up, but spamming the trigger just right got the health bar down. Goes without saying i guess

[quick coyote]

Get real voice actors please, it's been 7 months since release.

[astral estuary]

they should add an option to be able to toggle which music playlist you want to have play, kinda like rocket league so for example u can toggle the season 2 music not only for loading screens but also for the cashout ending soon sound

[plush fjord]

@pearl kiln pls hear me out. 3 consecutive powershift matches and ive been getting all lights in my team. Not just powershift. The devs need to heavily bring out new weapons gadgets and other stuff for mediums and heavies (but still dont forget lights tho) and buff the weapons like lewis gun that used to keep lights in check. theyre getting out of hand, and increasing in numbers so the game is now getting hellishly boring. (Something like 4 gadgets for medium and heavy each, but one/two for light)

[winter vapor]

Do the devs actually listen? I search "knives" and yet again, 20 out of 20 saying it needs to be nerfed, crying out for the devs to fix the ridiculous decision to buff an already strong weapon.

At this point were talking to a brick wall.

They have had plenty of chances to either nerf the damage down to sub 45 or add a cool down and have refused to do so.

The only thing left at this point is to speak with our reviews of the game, youve had plenty of chances, plenty of weeks, and its obvious you arent going to fix your insane mistake.

Dead fps game with noobs dominating not even using an fps weapon. Congrats again, your game is a joke.

[viral quiver]

Must’ve ignored the fact that I said in the reply, I’m a light player i’m not saying there’s no way to play around it mostly as a heavy with a winch claw hammer Mayle combo Insta kills light more so with a pocket medium healing but I’m playing as a light even In a one v one is lose if the hit on head shot and miss they rest of they shots

[rough herald]

you know they won't do it
and come on now it ain't that bad bro

[frigid citrus]

Feeling the all light hell in all modes too. Just did a quickcash with 7 lights and two mediums.

[remote fox]

Thoughts on making throwing knives a secondary on light as a finisher weapon like RPG?
Most light guns leave people on small hp and it would be nice as a finisher weapon imo

[reef jasper]

Remove ranked TA

Add more fun unranked modes

Marketing for higher player base

[thorn kelp]

You said you're running a team full of Lights, that didn't specify you being a Light main

And you don't have a letter attached with your user so 🤷

[glacial sierra]

once again, do something about spawn camping in powershift. so fucking boring when one team dominates by just running around the spawn mincing the others as they revive. whether on the winning or losing team it's shit and shouldn't be possible.

[marsh raptor]

This is a pretty cool idea tbh -

[feral mirage]

Don't let Nexon kill the Finals. Remove ranked Terminal Attack before next season

[honest harness]

Give us the ability to cancel a defib revive.

I hate it getting revived while the M was on low HP and the other one is already out while beeing surrounded by all the enemies waiting for the revive animation to finish.

I know this is a slolq issue but still.

[twin carbon]

Add a hele

[keen heath]

Can All full auto weapon get a massive fall off damage nerf im getting people whos treating them like snipers and shooting and killing me from 50m+ away

fix ranked que thing i get some bronze lights every game that dont know how to play

[swift skiff]

remove snipers from power shift

[rough herald]

rank is a joke and wt have no stake, it just so boring dude

[cerulean flower]

I dont know if it's just me but in **Powershift **it really does not seem fair to say "oh we're in overtime now" - the enemy team wins a second later if it barely manages to cross the 50.00001% mark.

A zone that each team has to exceed from 45% to 55% makes much more sense to me honestly.
-> This way matches dont end THIS undeserved for the winning side and THIS frustating for the loosing side.

[inland cove]

i think its fine how it is rn

[potent solar]

tried to defend a cashout from above but couldn't see who was stealing it until it was too late because the giant letter C was perfectly covering his body. Maybe 10-20m away. can you make the icon smaller when we get closer or more transparent?

[marsh raptor]

The scaling of the icons is a bit weird. Yeah feel you on this def times where it should be easier to see where the pilferer is

[fallow loom]

i just got into a game with four gold verses 3 plat 1 ruby and 1 sus as unranked, its purely broken, as well as invis and snipers in this mode
edit: turns out it was 5 solos of 4 gold 1 ruby VS 5 stacks of 3 plat 1 ruby and 1 unranked who is really good at the game. It didnt take much fame points from me but it was such a waste of time since its a destined lose plus none of my teammates were happy about it, one even rage quit after we chatted about what the hell this ranked game is going.

[cerulean flower]

Do you find it fair that when two teams fight around the 50% mark the team behind the gets the platfoms for like 2 seconds and pushes just a milimeter over the 50% mark they deserves to win for that?
Or the team that barely manages to cross 50% before the end deserves to win 100% rightfully?

Makes no sense to me to call a team "winner" just because they managed to achieve 50,000001% match points last second.

On top of that there also already are overtimes in other The Finals gamemodes so it does seem to be of interest to have the deserved person winning.
Especially in a gamemode as arcady as this one.

[wheat aspen]

You are on point, but embark studios doesn't care about this game anymore, i think they aer working on ARK Raiers atm

[violet elbow]

POV: Throwing Knife "Light Mains" once their crutch gets nerfed

[inland cove]

the team that manages to push out of enemy winning territory in OT is the deserved winner no mater how close it is. just clearing the platform once during that time will make the other team win.
And if you would have to move the platform to 55% that would not change anything its the same scenario at 49.9999% to 50% as 54.999% to 55%.
What would you do if no one is on the platform on OT and it sits a e.g. 51%.
Is it a draw? is it a win after 10 minutes of OT?

this does not make any sense.

i think you are just mad for loosing a close game.

[keen heath]

Might just be me but I think bow need a projectile speed increase or it might suffer like the throwing knifes did
Side idea make it so Opacity for crosshair and outline are separated

[slow shale]

Medium PISTOL Accuracy Sucks

[marsh raptor]

I completely agree it should either be a wider margin or just done when its done

[autumn sedge]

Tbh thatd be fine if they buff TK to like 4 knives maybe or shorter animation or higher speed or dmg or smth, cause how they are rn it wouldnt really be worth it to use them as a gadget since the only thing that makes them annoying to fight against is the no delay part which would be mandatory as a gadget.

[red arch]

chat good, have it available in lobby as well?

[pine quarry]

Im starting to think that Embark really don't care about the game and game feedback anymore, i mean its so obvious that 90% of the community doesnt like TA ranked. They always talked about Data, so doesnt the Data shows clearly that no one is playing TA? Even every streamer for the Finals saying how bad this Gamemode is as Ranked and starting to stream other Games. Love this Game so much but its just sad to see such bad decisions. I always thought you were listening to the community. Wake up Embark before its too late.

[wheat aspen]

Sad bad true

[golden canopy]

Yaaaaasssss we need lobby talk

[night surge]

Imagine they add proximity chat

[somber axle]

😔

[red arch]

there are apparently 2 separate teams for ARC and The Finals

[viral mountain]

There should be a separate report reason category specifically for intentionally AFK'ing players, I've been getting multiple randos that just stand there deliberately(i keep watch over them for a couple of seconds and they move an inch just before the auto-disconnect kicks in), not sure if they're bots or actual players who waste their time trying to bring misery to others.

Also, the in-game update logs or whatever they're called("X has been kicked/disconnected") pop up intermittently and repeatedly even when the disconnect happened minutes ago, it becomes misleading and distracting.

[violet elbow]

mfw hard meta comp against pubs andies like the whole argument around TKs isnt that they are annoying and not hard meta.

TKs are annoying and unfun to fight against but cashout meta is still HHM, that hasnt changed whatsoever

[shadow rune]

This was the best casual friendly fps game so far, but now you only reward time and not skill in this game, it's pretty sad to see the total turn around on the concept...I would like to play World Tour with avg cashout points, not summary! (I should mention the fact that now I have to choose which mode I want to grind out, because there is noone except streamers who got time to finish both)

[autumn sedge]

Even if I mained TK since S1?

[compact sleet]

Damn I’m mad that I supported this game with and spent almost 200 cash on it just to show support because they had a really good/new idea with their spin on a “ competitive “ shooter just for them to slap me in my face to give me this bootleg and horrible gamemode (TA) now rank is dead…. The viewers on twitch and YouTube are dead….. the devs really messed up TA on so many different levels it’s actually insane when you think about it smh

TA would be so much better with heals Rezs!! Maybe only one rez or make it that it takes 10 secs to rez or maybe no rez at all but the face that we can’t heal is one of the stupidest things I see devs do in about 8 years!! Why would a tank regen to 75HP????

[deep summit]

• Remove Terminal Attack
• Terminal Attack RS system doesn't work when you have no Skill Based Match Making, smurf players heavily influence your RS
• We need skill based match making, I get boosted players who can't maintain a 1kd :/
• If I solo queue I shouldn't go up against a 3,4 or 5 stack, it should only be other solo queue players
• Play Test your game, none of these issues would be present if you did play testing (You can die off spawn in Terminal Attack)
• Add regular ranked
• Better Anti Cheat (DMA Bypasses Easy Anti - Cheat, that's why you have a cheater epidemic)
• Balance
• Skill Based Match Making (Why is there unranked/bronze playing with/against diamonds in ranked)
• A lot of unranked players are cheaters, they ruin ranked for everyone else and once they get banned they make a new account,** Better Anti Cheat or IP Ban is the only solution **
• Remove snipers and melee's <3

The Finals devs are the most incompetent dev team I've ever seen, it's so obvious the issues of the game some playtesting will reveal it, but they don't play test. If the devs tried playing ranked they would fix it, but they don't

[fervent citrus]

TY for removing the requirement for new players to complete 3 games of TA before being able to try the actual game modes the finals is known about.
Season 3 changes are mostly good. Health regen values, guardian turret change, glitch mine rework, and gadget changes are all good. Alongside some minor weapon tweaks and improvements to useability such as KS-23 pump rate.

Now the bad.
Remember when cloak light db spam that can 2-shot any class in S1? Well, now we have throwing knives (nobody still uses the alt-fire post nerf only spam), bow with no falloff, and db is back to being able to 2-shot any class.

Remember when light stun gun spam giving free kills? Well, now we have the winch claw for heavy that not only stuns, but also pulls and allows them to do a survivable point blank rpg.

What happened to the "long ttk" gameplay?

The CL40 was given a damage nerf and a fire rate buff, making it one of the second lowest dps to the lowest dps weapon. The only possible reason for this is due to it's burst being too good in TA but in TTK, it's one of the slowest and will lose most duels if not careful. It counters L, mid to M, and weak to H. This change made it unable to fight heavies at all. The pump rate and fire rate would also be considered as a nerf as due to it depleting the 4 rounds quicker and spending more time instead with the long reload.

In s2 ranked, despite it being a poor pick, I still brought it to plat. It's main gimmick is despite the low dps, you need to play safely/area denial/insane movement and learn its trajectory for mid-long shots. Before the change, the fire rate, reload, and ammo was low but it was rewarding to hit direct hits.

Overall. Didn't care about TA, but if core game and balance changes are catered to it instead of the core gameplay of the game it will mess up balances for other modes. Showing more that, already built gameplay and balance isn't fit for it. Most of the patch felt like tossing out the balance work made during s1 and s2.

[tough pebble]

I dunno feels ok, a bit sad when you can't kill a Heavy with full mag tho ngl

It seems to be occuring more frequently now. The game is just stuck at the loading screen while the sound indicates the round has started, no other fix but to leave the game.

[low gate]

i would like to have a bit more crosshair customisation, i want to make it static or change the shape

[shut cosmos]

I don’t play TA so I can’t speak on balance there but please don’t listen to the people on reddit and discord complaining about lights being OP in cashout. What people are complaining about is the casual nature of current cashout, they just don’t realize it yet. MMH and HHM is popular for cashout when playing to win. When there’s not much incentive to win (or punishment for losing) then more people are going to be open to playing something fun (light is fun to play). As more people choose light on other teams, it makes light more viable for anyone else that picks it.

It’s not a balance issue. It’s a casual issue. Light doesn’t need nerfs.

[obsidian solar]

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here are a few ways that can improve the shield, as it underperforms against any other ranged and melee weapon. 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)
• The shield should block a larger area of the body to make it more consistent at blocking melee, bullets, and splash damage. Players with decent aim can easily hit the arms and legs which defeats the whole purpose of it.
• Blocking melee attacks should inflict a knockback to prevent melee weapons from clipping through and scoring a second hit with the active frames.
• Increase the melee range, even just +1m of range would make it feel so much better to catch enemies that were just outside your range before.
• Electrify the baton and allow it to glitch enemies for a very short period, it would provide a lot of team utility and prevent dash lights and charge and slam heavies from effortlessly hard countering shielders

FIX THE RIOT SHIELD BUGS:

• When picking up throwables in the arena, the first person shield model gets messed up and blocks your entire screen.
• Remove the fov zoom in and turning speed reduction when you raise the shield to block, it makes it overly clunky to use and feels terrible in a fast pace environment.
• Pyro grenades "stick" to the shield and burn the player forever, making it also impossible to see

GIVE SMOKE GRENADES TO ALL CLASSES:

• Give smoke grenade to all classes! It would open so many strategies for the other builds! I would use smoke so much if it was on medium, especially to better support my team against fire, detection sources, or to help revive teammates, and steal cashouts in an open area.

FIX THE GLITCH TRAP:

• Glitched heavy can still use the winch claw and it doesn't stop chargeNslam

[glacial sierra]

this fucking game.

tried to start 3x world tour matches.

first and third both got loading screen error.

can't even quit and rejoin when it happens, just have to sit and wait for timeout, by which point your team are well and truly fucked anyway.

what a joke.

[green vigil]

Agreed. They say playing as a light takes skill. Is it a skill to dash, hide and go invisible?

THERMAL VISION NEEDS SERIOUS QOL BUFFS.

1. Thermal should still display THE EDGES OF THE MAP
2. Thermal should show MINES
3. Thermal should display important information like IF SOMEONE IS BEING HEAL BEAMED
4. Thermal can be accidentally toggled on and then off immediately after by accident. Please give a grace period for re-activation.
5. Thermal makes your entire scope become bright white and unable to be seen through whenever you are also invisible.
6. THERMAL HIDES STEALTHED CHARACTERS (it's primary use) IF THEIR HITBOXES ARE AGAINST THE SKYBOX OF THE GAME

[ashen stirrup]

Balance changes need a lot of work all around. We should have a roadmap and/or changes that the community can vote on frequently offering constructive criticism, many of us care to help. For example, I really want a 3v3 and/or 5v5 cashout mode. I think if we all could vote/discuss changes that both the community and dev team both offer, it would help build an OPEN community of artists/players to join in and help make the game more enjoyable for everyone (Except cheaters).

[velvet elk]

Hello dear Embark Team,

I have a request or a suggestion for the private match, could you make a button next to the player names in the lobby of the private matches, where a team selector appears when you click and you can choose your team. Because if there are 3 of you and you want to do an all against all, it doesn't work because it always turns into a 2 against 1.

Thank you very much for your attention and I hope that such a function will soon be added to the game

Best regards
Moritz Ende

[minor tapir]

I've been in and out of this discord. Lurking around, once even reporting a bug.

I just wanted to say one last thing: Embark, this is your fault everyone is leaving. You cooked your own meal, everybody loved it. Praise among reviewers and players. BUT YOU KEEP MAKING THE WRONG DECISIONS. Overwatch? Thats dumb and against what this gane was supposed to be, counter strike? Even more dumb. RANKED counter strike and abondoning casual tournament? What are you even thinking are you guys dellusional? All my friends abondened this game. I will soon follow. The meta changes keep disrupting the pace for everyone. I don't even want to start a conversation about this topic but I have a lot to say.

I am going to miss the old game. Not this new one. Bye

[burnt notch]

Bro really just came and went

[rough herald]

bro comited a hit and run

[obsidian sail]

Lights with the “shushing” intro animation are OP.

[broken geyser]

1. Allow heavy players to throw their spears. But not unlimited like the throwing knives. Instead when u throw it once u have to wait for it to come back to ur hand kinda like Thors hammer. It's literally a SPEAR. And having to wait for it to come back even to engage in close range battle prevents it from being overpowered but viable longer distances. Maybe allow players to aim and throw it through by toggling on and off the aiming mode.

2. Give more button optimisation for controller players for example triggering something or being able to choose an item with the double tap or triple of a button or swipe on the middle pad of a controller.

3. More character slots

[merry creek]

.... seriously think the world tour points should add up rather than only getting 150 for reaching gold 1

[rough herald]

embark bro, you need to do something quickly. fix all the most requested change pls

[indigo bear]

Ranked terminal attack needs to change how they demote and promote. Why am I getting demoted 800+ after leading my team in all stats but two? Even though we lose 7-4? What else am I supposed to do. You’re pretty much saying all you care about in ranked right now is winning. I can’t do anything about my 3 randoms combining for 8 kills through 11 rounds. I feel the promotion needs to be more individual based, even if you go to a game 13 and lose it still demotes you! Ranked terminal attack NEEDS an update. Why change the ranked game mode away from what you built your game on and then not do anything to help change it. Very dissapointed with the devs this season as they promote wanting to listen to their fan base yet have done nothing to combat current problems. Ranking, OP lights, certain equipment or guns being useless.

[silent fog]

Please next patch, nerf the throwing knives at least, preferably winch claw too

[formal willow]

make #official-art great again

[wheat aspen]

there will be a next patch?? i thoght the game was died

[upper citrus]

The game isn’t dead it’s just in the process of dying. It won’t actually die for a few months and season 4 will really be the deciding factor. It gets updated every week still.

[patent wind]

most incompetent dev team youve ever seen is CRAZY. We get updates every WEEK. Some games have metas that last 2 whole seasons while we get a slight shift every week. The finals also has the most open devs. They actually tell us stuff. Unlike COD where they go: were deleting everyones fav map f you.

The Finals had the BEST devs ive seen in a large company. (Still cant compete with indie game devs tho but thats just personal preference depending on the person)

[random glen]

They have great devs, but whomever made the decision for the devs to do what they did, is tragic.

[thorn kelp]

Preach messages like this and ignore the haters cuz their mouths are louder than those who support after all

Comparing Embark to any other AAA dev team is honestly one sided

[stone terrace]

Same

[latent jasper]

let me customize my crosshair more

[tribal spoke]

The dual katanas could really use a deflect consistency fix and a DPS buff to their attacks, either make them swing faster, reduce the after swing animation or increase its damage

[somber hound]

I wanna See how the RP system Works... Winning with 2k more RP +400 Points lossing against someone with 30k more RP -1k Points??? Where does this make Sense? Also Fix your fking anti Cheat

[echo urchin]

New mode idea:
Cash Grab: in the practice arena is that wall where you can try throwing the cube through different holes. That got me thinking how fun it would be to have a football style game mode.
• Two teams battling over one cube, trying to snag it and throw it into one of the holes on the other team's wall to score points.
• I'm thinking 6v6: GK Heavy, Two Medium midfielders, 3 light attackers.
• Squad wipe would be a guaranteed goal though. So, maybe no respawn timer so the focus is always on out playing the other team and not just going for squad wipes.
• It could be done by using smaller sections of the maps that exist.

[night spruce]

Compeltely agree so many Wallhackers unreal

[last swift]

Solo queuing most of the time results in death. The other team is often in a party and they actually know how to play while my teammates downloaded this game 2 hours ago. Where is the skill based matchmaking. Every single mode is like this, ranked and casual.

[vestal prairie]

Seems like the only people who like R-TA are the in game commentary team

[kind hedge]

Can we get laser sword, blaster and storm trooper skins? 😄

[rough herald]

big map me no like bad no more

[upper citrus]

We don’t really need anymore regular ass guns. Weapons like the 93r have no niche because all of those possible niches were taken. Every weapon should have a purpose. I hope in the future we get cooler things like futuristic weapons or maybe support weapons for medium. Adding more normal weapons will make balance impossible

[prime wing]

All we need is the cl-40 damage registration bug that has existed since beta to be acknowledged and fixed by the devs 🙂

[digital shoal]

Throwing knifes may benefit from an "overheat" function. Like arm gets tired if you fire continuously for too long.

[pseudo leaf]

BLANK#7876 is cheating and he is ruby nice anticheat

[junior igloo]

everyone has this there are posts on the steam community personally i just ignore it and accept that it happens if it persists to the point where i cant open the game or smth I just reinstall it

[rugged fiber]

Can lights get a Kusarigama as a weapon
Basically a weaker winch claw that can still be a melee like dual blades

[burnt notch]

I can sympathize with most of the things in that list, but saying that Embark devs are the most incompetent you’ve ever seen tells me that you definitely haven’t played this game enough, nor have you even TRIED interacting with the community to see how open the devs are compared to almost Avery other AAA studio

@deep summit when you say it like that it does make sense, I just didn’t like the way you were insinuating that they’ve NEVER been competent; they have been very responsive, and it is very unusual that they’re keeping quiet for S3…

[manic minnow]

why do i keep getting kicked everytime i join a finals match?

[deep summit]

Latest patch was adding ruby, hardly an update. And I stick by my statement, they are doing nothing whilst player population declines, not one game-feedback has been implemented since S3.

[nova osprey]

Day 1: I want a potato launcher skin for the Cl40c every other skin has some sort of meme skin, but the cl40 has yet to get one, this is the idea that should be used

[wide sundial]

did u verify files?

[tribal spoke]

The third attack for the sword deals way too little damage, you deal slightly more damage then a punch but take way longer

[last swift]

I’d love a channel for the devs to share their thoughts and respond to ours. Let us know you’re at least listening. Tell us why you are making a change or why you won’t make one. If there’s a big issue tell us you’re working on it. I’m not trying to add more to your to do list but most of us feel like our feedback goes unheard. Some of the things we complain about that seem like simple fixes can take a month to be changed.

If you give a reason against something you’ll likely have a lot less complaints in the feedback section of the discord

[wheat ibex]

Love having two debilitating glitches in two rounds embark
One where I cant open doors or use ziplines
And then being unable to shoot my gun or use any gadgets the round right after
These glitches have been here for more than a season maybe even two why cant you fix them

[crystal umbra]

New Game Mode Concept: ✨"Blitz"✨Day 1

Here I used an AI to help me organize a bulleted breakdown of an idea for a new game mode in The Finals, inspired by Hardpoint

CORE PRINCIPLES:

Appeal to new players:
Faster respawns and a focus on maintaining control of a designated area make it easier to jump in and contribute.

Fast-paced and engaging:
Short to medium length matches and constant objective switching keep the action flowing.

Teamwork encouraged:
Earning money is based on team presence within the zone, rewarding coordinated pushes and revives.

I believe the long respawns in every game mode has turned away a lot of people. "Fast paced & Chaotic" don't seem palatable when mixed with high respawn times. I understand we want to incentivise team work and revives but I think a game mode with fast respawns is well overdue in a game like The Finals.

GAMEPLAY:

Team Setup:
Two options for team size: 4 teams of 3 players or 3 teams of 4 players.

-Here I want to increase team size because I feel like people want bigger team sizes in the finals and we want a lot of destruction.
I feel like 3 teams of 4 wouldn't be too much and would be fun for a casual game mode.

Blitz Zone:
A designated area on the map becomes the objective (Blitz Zone or whatever it's named). It can be circular, shaped like a building, or highlighted by a beam.

Earning Money:
Teams earn money based on the number of players within the Blitz Zone. More teammates present translates to higher earnings per tick.

Example:
One person in the area will earn the base amount of points - $10 per tick

Two people earn the base amount of $10 per tick PLUS $5 each (since there are 2 team mates inside.)

Three people all earn the base amount of $10 per tick PLUS a bonus of $10 each (since there are 3 team mates inside

Full team will receive a base amount of $10 per tick PLUS a bonus of $15 or $20 (since there is a full team alive in the zone)

Match Duration:
The game lasts between 5-10 minutes with the Blitz Zone active for 2-4 minutes before switching to a new location.

This is a starting point, and all aspects are open for discussion and refinement.

Thanks for your consideration 🚀

[warm mauve]

Why the hell am I getting the same teammates 5-10 games in a row in WT? Is there just not enough players playing the game or what? How am I suppose to progress whatsoever?

[silent fog]

Nerf the throwing knives. I'm going to keep saying it. How can you fuck up balancing this bad

[quick coyote]

I've heard "Season X will decide if the game lives or dies" a bit now and I'm really questioning if the game will ever die with so many out of touch players like those who like TA.

Hopefully these messages could raise awareness to the team at embark that they're fumbling big time.

[cerulean flower]

Of course it's changing the scenario - It allows the players to achieve victory through achieving a 10% advantage against the enemy - even though the decision is made through seemingly 5% it's still a 10% advantage against the enemy whereas the 50% mark means barely any advantage .

5% is not much but it's enough but it allows for a longer "overtime" than the current version.
The current version is unfair towards the defending team (with lets say 51%) as it allows the enemy team to go into overtime and win after simply pushing for 1% which is ridiculous.
Therefore implementing a way that reqiures both teams to identify a winner more clearly is beneficial for both sides.

I think the best solutions would be to say:

• If the fight is happening in that area, send the teams into overtime and give to the first team that manages to exceed the enemys 5%.
• If the platform doesnt manage to get out or is empty, end the game after 3 minutes overtime and make it a draw
• Slow/speed the plattforms respectively per missing team members

[spring stream]

Can you please freaking fix the game bugs first then do the weekly store upgrades in season 3 I can't even play properly my game always get stuck at we are waiting loading screen in every gamemode specially the world tour 2h BAN for the freaking bug

[hybrid dock]

If the light can have two weapons that can one shot or almost one shot me, I want my model 1887 to one shot them at close range no questions asked period point blank. The light is running the competitive scene right now and it’s unchecked

[pseudo latch]

Day 110 of me begging the devs to give heavy an M134 Minigun as a Specialization.

• 200 Round magazine, ammo is restored four bullets every second, 50 seconds for a full reload.
• 20 rounds per second, eleven damage a round, 220 DPS. No headshot modifier to keep DPS from becoming insane.
• 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, you’re probably not getting higher than 150 DPS even as far as 10 meters.
• 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 mid-combat is a commitment, one that could get you killed.
• - gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

Stay moé everyone

[young smelt]

Terminal Attack is a horrible game mode. It’s not fun. It’s not competitive. It’s not the finals. I will not spend money on this game until it is permanently removed. A limited time rotating quick play mode is the only acceptable way to have it in the game.

[smoky gust]

With more than 2 teams we get the issue of 3rd parties again

But if it were 2 teams of 5 that could work really well

Maybe with cash loss on wipe and coins
Do you have all of them inside and risk a wipe or do you keep someone outside at a safe range at the cost of money

Might opens up some interesting strats
Maybe running a designated light to rush in, take a statue, run out and revive?

Maybe if thats a lot of work a simple cashout station that can be capped and gives money over time could work too, to save development time and perhaps give a clearer focus on a specific objective point

A mode with fast respawns would be really nice

Either way, nice concept

[red echo]

once and IF you bring back cashout ranked how can we know you wont remove it again?

[somber axle]

THIS ☝️☝️

[tribal spoke]

The dual blades dont deal enough damage to compete with the famas even in melee range, I should not have lost this. Arguably, they should remove the third attack in the combo, Increase the swing speed by 15-20% and make the swords deal a consistent 55 dmg per swing instead of the 50 50 60 60 70 ratio we have now

[nimble meadow]

They're completely overpowered

[vestal prairie]

It depends on mode in TA light in general is pretty fucked

[crystal umbra]

Since this is supposed to be a casual and chaotic game mode I don't think third partying is an issue at all.
Each team makes money as long as they have at least one character inside the area (a big ass area). The team that has more people in make exponentially more money though.
It's about being good slayers and holding down the fort or killing people who try to get to the area.

2 teams of five is fine for other game modes but I want chaos and unpredictability in this game mode. 3 teams of 4 is fine for a casual mode. Just keep killing and stay alive in the area. No need to worry about third partying since nobody can "steal" from you.

I didn't add a penalty for cash loss on team wipe since the respawns will be fast AF compared to other game modes.
By the end of the game teams will have A LOT of money potentially.

Do you want 4 heavies bunkered down?
Do you want 4 mediums with zip lines and revives?
Do you want 4 lights with high mobility and burst damage?
Who knows.

Bottom line, its designed to be casual and the team that has the best mechanics involved is going to win (giving exception for team work and strategy)

It's a simple mode concept and easy to pick up. When people realize their mechanics aren't getting them wins each time they will realize how important picking team based equipment is important in the finals.

It will be a better starting game mode than TA.

+++ Imagine the destruction

[rough herald]

i want to listen the season one sound track bro
pls add something like a juke box function

[earnest kelp]

Starting menus are so great. I think they should upload then on wallpaper engine or somewhere else

[viral snow]

The infinite loading screen seems to get more prevalent now for me. Idk? I can count on it happening a couple times a night.

Also do not like the old challenges for WT locking. Had no indication they were going to lock either. They really shouldn’t, with all the XP available it doesn’t make sense to be restrictive there.

[west iron]

Great, exciting and unique gameplay. I had fun in every season and was always able to play at the top, but that has changed. You can waste your time in this season. You come across a cheater in almost every round and these are also players who play in the top 500. I'm currently in the top 500 myself, but it's just annoying to play against cheaters. I'm not going to waste my time until they solve the problem. You've lost another player.

[quick coyote]

Bruh the spears make the platform jiggle so much and its just impossible to shoot people on it or board it

[smoky gust]

I just hope people will find some incentive to fight eachother

Maybe if someone notices a team is slighty ahead and they try to engage, resulting in a back and forth of fighting?

Otherwise, yeah that makes sense

I hope they add it

[raven topaz]

add surrender if one or two leave its gg, also after one round if someone leaves u have to cancel, its still the start

[acoustic grail]

PLEASE I've been abandoned like 3 times today and had to stick around in the match solo.

[crystal umbra]

Now that you mention it, that's a good point. There wouldn't be much of an incentive to fight except for a slight advantage for whoever gets there first.

Well then we can explore a "direct deposit" effect where you get money siphoned from the team you kill.

As you said there would be a penalty for a team wipe: Money gets directly deposited from your team to the team that deals the finishing blow + a 3-5 second respawn (still small but not terrible) & they have to make their way back to the objective

And all of that increases the gap in money accumulated.

Nice nice.

[tame valve]

All lights weapons are very powerful. Dagger kills in 1 shot with the special attack. So do knives if you headshot. All the 🤡 s think they're skilled playing with lights where in fact it's literally the easiest. No skill in dashing and cloaking like a coward.

even a dagger backstab doesn’t kill a heavy, it takes an additional hit/melee

[elfin badge]

please fix the "stuck in loading screen" issue!!

[gritty owl]

Something is definitely wrong with the matchmaking system. I keep getting lvl 1-5 teammates while being lvl 60. They keep ruining my games and we're allways getting destroyed by the enemy

[winged glacier]

they made the final 2 pages of the BP require so much XP compared to last season that i have literally zero motivation to play anything beyond my daily contracts becasue i feel like my progress is stagnant. i suggest lowing the required xp

[civic orchid]

locked in loading screen While the game go , funny 1 month and no fix for this big bug, change developers or your game will die since in a month a bug like this still hasn't been fixed

[crystal storm]

Heavy:

• RPG > damage reduced DMG from 140 to 100, full damage only on direct hit
• Winch hook > remove from game, or rework it completely
• Mesh shield > Reduced HP from 750 to 700
• M60 > increase damage drop off range by 10 meters
• Lewis gun > clean up the recoil pattern to be less aggressive horizontally
• Charge and slam > reduce damage by half so you cant instantly kill M's, reduce cooldown. Should be more utility than 1 shot cheese.

Medium:

• Recon senses > re-add to game - rework to be a single ping like recon nades but originating from the player. 3 charges with a pretty long recovery time
• Turret > Add a attack delay of 0.3s so it doesnt instantly shoot if you are in its FOV
• Defib > Remove invincibility time after getting ressed
• FCAR > 3rd shot of recoil jumps way to hard right, reduce that horizontal recoil
• FAMAS > Increase damage drop off range
• R.357 > increase damage drop off range and slightly lower reload time

Light:

• Grappling hook > lower cooldown

• Throwing Knives > Make the projectiles lose velocity and damage over distance, boost initial velocity, Lower fire rate

• LH1 > revert damage to 52 but lower fire rate

• 93R > increase damage and damage drop off range

• DB > lower damage to 145 damage

• V9S > Lower fire rate but increase damage (1 less shot to kill)

• Explosive mines > damage from multi mines exploding from different sources do not stack. Damage reduced from 140 to 100

• Cash-out should periodically give cash over time in a couple of instances (ie: 3k-5k-10k). Many high ELO games just becomes stalling for first 75% CO the time.

• Remove Terminal attack from the game permanently, you cant balance the game for TA and CO at the same time, one will always suffer

SO DEVS. GET RID OF FOG ON LAS VEGAS. Vegas is a desert. There is no fog in Vegas in real life. Deserts don’t have the humidity to get foggy. I want to be able to snipe people.

[raven topaz]

losing 6 to 7 should barely lose you RS

[elfin badge]

you know what would be great... getting matched against teams of similar skill/rank. that would be great...

[upper citrus]

round count shouldnt matter at all

[thorn kelp]

Only things I agree with here are the RPG, Lewis Gun, Revolver (only with increased damage drop off range), Throwing Knives (only with reduced fire rate), 93R, Explosive Mines, and TA

The rest can be left alone or changed in a different way

[silent fog]

636 RS for 18/3 because the enemy team had lower RS even tho my teammates were worse than them. Lost 850 before because of a cheater. Good system you got going on Embark, keep staying silent because that definitely helps as well...

(backgrounds/emojis/badges & trading cards)

[hoary cargo]

maybe dont suspend me for 10 mins because the game wont load and bugged out giving me error screen i never even seen before, also the sniper is really not fit for a game like the finals it causes a weird power dynamic because heavy and medium can't compete from across the map

[low gate]

sounds like you dont know how to deal with them

[plucky night]

Man a lot of you are garbage, most of this feedback comes down to skill issue 😭

[cinder folio]

For Terminal Attack, I think it'll be cool to show the face of the contestant on the top of the screen instead of using generic "faceless" icons!

[potent solar]

QOL suggestion: Have the loadout you picked in game persist rather than defaulting back to your contestant loadout.

This is most annoying in powershift when you find a good loadout one game and it resets to your contestant default the next, meaning every game you are updating the loadout again and again until you go back to the main screen. This is annoying to go all the way out and it disrupts flow. (DONT disrupt momentum when people are having fun 🙂 ) Most times I want to keep that preset for cashout, but I would like to just keep going with the build I currently have when I re-queue

I think you should have it so that if you do click on your contestant build (in PS for example) it acts as a preset and then it will update your current loadout.. which will now follow you from match to match.

Also consider another option to switch between HML current loadouts, rather than having to pick your contestant preset to do so.

For example, maybe I came up with a light build then wanted to try a heavy one while in a PS match. If I want to go back to the light build I have to choose a contestant preset and then re-assign everything to get back where I was. Most people don't notice that it loads the preset and spawn with the wrong items. So maybe always have switch class buttons that will go back to your last build with that class and then also have the contestant preset. This could be as simple as just having: Change class: Light Medium Heavy and then below it have "Contestant Presets"

[jade cloak]

Very Minor, but I think the data reshaper needs a XP Buff.

You dont get much XP when using it, so getting it to level 5 is a what feels like impossible grind.

(it also having a really cool charm at level 5 just adds salt to the wound...)

[wispy sand]

Change ranked to Quick Cash, exactly as quick cash is. Award more points for clean sweeps and no boring respawn timer. Give us a ranked based on pure chaotic chance as well as skill. Test it for a season or a month, rotate ranked modes weekly see what gets most played.

Give smoke nades like flashbangs and let every class use them. Lower smoke CD by 5 seconds or 3.3333

• lengthy equip-unequip time to balance such, no “pocket minigun” strats, choosing to use this mid-combat is a commitment, one that could get you killed.

• gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

• Terminal Attack ranked system doesn't work without Skill Based Match Making, you will get griefed by smurfs. Higher RS will queue with low RS smurfs so they will have small loss and big win. It is also unfair for new players to go up against diamonds/top 500
• If I solo queue I shouldn't go up against a 3,4 or 5 stack premade teams, it should only be other solo queue players
• Add regular ranked
• Better Anti Cheat (DMA Bypasses Easy Anti - Cheat, that's why you have a cheater epidemic)
• Balance
• A lot of unranked players are cheaters, they ruin ranked for everyone else and once they get banned they make a new account,** Better Anti Cheat or IP Ban is the only solution **
• Remove snipers and melee's <3
• Play Test your game, none of these issues would be present if you did play testing (You can die off spawn in Terminal Attack)

The Finals devs are the most incompetent dev team I've ever seen( I say incompetent because they know the issues but they don't care), it's so obvious the issues of the game some playtesting will reveal it, but they don't play test. If the devs tried playing ranked they would fix it, but they don't

[cloud whale]

Matchmaking is a complete disaster. I was the only ruby on ym team vs 5 stack ruby. I had a plat, 2 gold and a silver on my team. How the actual fuck am I supposed to play a 5 stack of light rubys?

Nevermind the maps are garbage when light snipers can see spawns.

[crystal umbra]

✨FREE IDEA: "Companies"✨ Day 22

"Hey bro, do you wanna join our company?"

Encourage us to play and make friends. I'm talking about make The Finals about team play (Way too much solo culture in ranked)

They need to make a "squad" system next season.
For obvious reasons I believe this idea will lead to a exponential engagement effect, let me explain:

"Squads" or "Companies" should be able to select or vote for sponsors:
-Vaiiya
-Volpe
-Engimo
-Ospuze
Etc.

During the season we should be able to grind for "fame" so we can get company drip (cosmetics) for completing these "company contracts".
(Gives me reason to hop back on the game, me and my friends are working towards a goal now. +++ Add Bonus Points for playing with company mates)

This may take the place of circuits but I think my ideas fits the theme of the game-show AND this gives people a reason to play with friends and implore their friends to hop on The Finals with them.

Create specialized cosmetics for these sponsors. Once your company selects one they are locked in for specialized one-time cosmetics.

This creates urgency AND rarity since -for example- the season 4 OSPUZE set will never show up again. (Same for Engimo, Vaiiya, etc.)
Remember, ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ONE SEASON

Top companies (companies with the most "fame" or money cashed out) are showed on the World Tour leaderboard.
There they should be able to display or link their Twitch and other socials.

✨((MAKE YOUR CONTESTANTS STARS))✨
Appeal to human nature and give us something to talk about amongst ourselves. Give us something to brag about.
"Oh shxt, that's Ottr from 'x' Company".

In real life athletes have sponsor drip, well in The Finals - The world's greatest game-show - it's no different.

We get to flex our specialized drop from our favorite sponsors (opportunity to expand the lore)
And the top, most loyal finalists get shouted out.

Thanks for your consideration 🚀

(light weapons is a good place to start, every weapon can almost instantly kill any class maybe balance that?)

[young hamlet]

That is balanced. Light has no hp and is decimated instantly
Hence why they have the burst damage weapons

LMFAOOOO

[proven crown]

Make in game scoreboard (top left) wider to help folks who can't do quick maths.

Perhaps make vaults spawn closer to stations, and open faster (minimising third partying and poor macro decisions). Spawns also don't seem optimal? Equidistance is key in the beginning, but perhaps there should always be a markedly closer vault for each team - so you increase the likeliness of a 1 on 1 at each station (and that they both start at a similar time)

[glad delta]

can you remove sticking things to trophies? It's like not fun gameplay and there's no way to unstick them

[pseudo latch]

You are not the kind of player they want to retain if this is how you act lmao.

[young smelt]

I think everyone is well aware that embark has no interest in retaining the vast majority of gamers.

[edgy urchin]

it isnt balanced, if it was balanced every other weapon would instantly kill every class as well
if the problem is light doesnt have enough health then balance it out by lowering the damage a bit and giving them something to heal quicker like a health bomb or something like that, upping the damage doesnt balance stuff out
bay 9 of asking embark to balance the finals!

Light is balanced in every mode except TA which is kind of the problem in the game trying to balance 1 item across 5 modes

If it wasn't evident to you guys, there's so few people playing TA that I keep playing the same teams over and over again. And I'm not talking about bumping into the same team every now and then, I mean I played 4 fucking games of ranked and got stomped by the same team every single game. Same exact team for 4 games? How the fuck do you manage to make the ranked population so low that I have to be in multiple matches IN A ROW with the same enemy team?

[supple coral]

Fix your matchmaking for ranked, it's absolutely horrid. How can I be ranked as a Platinum 4 and get matched with a team of full Ruby players in the 50k+ RS range? Not to mention getting matched up against the same team full of platinum players while I get a team full of gold. Getting matched against the same team over and over again shouldn't even be happening.

I love this game, PLEASE FIX IT

[opal plover]

No easy fix for a problem that comes from a clear lack of players in the mode, hopefully they can figure out how to improve the overall experience in TA so it's more attractive to all players and gets a bump in attention

Remove terminal attack

[blazing horizon]

why do the medium grenade launcher grenades inherit flame from fire they shoot through but dont actually light anything on fire? (or do any more damage)

[hybrid dock]

Terminal attack is dominated by light players who would rather run laps around the map looking for their next kill then dare even spawn with the OBJ key in their hand. Some of the worst gameplay I’ve ever experienced has been this season. From the unchecked powerhouse light builds to the cockroach heavies with the hook, to the medium players who could arguably be reported for having pinpoint accuracy with weapons I’ve been using for three seasons and still have mastered to that degree I’d say this live service shit stack has maybe until the end of the season until the announcement of server close. I’m honestly saddened to watch such a steady decline in a game that could’ve thrived in today’s shooter world.

[upper citrus]

No they need to stop nerfing recoil. All it does it make guns feel like shit

[misty schooner]

Don’t change the sword or I’ll scream and cry

[last swift]

Everybody that doesn’t use the sniper is absolutely sick of it. Devs listen to us it’s not fun at all, you made the longest distance weapon able to one shot with zero drops in accuracy and a relatively quick fire rate. Add bullet drop, reduce damage, idc what you have to do just listen to your players more than twice a month

Add the breathing thing from other games if you must where the scope sways a bit and you can concentrate for like 2 seconds

[quick coyote]

why did the heavy need a 2nd easy mode ability? they had the rpg. and then you give them a stun lol

[tough merlin]

It only one shots lights, and thats if you hit the head.

Also in a 1v1 vs a med/heavy it will lose if the med or heavy is as good as the sniper. You cannot fire two shots before The ak will kill you (or scar/shotgun/famas, Im unsure about the revolver.) and a heavy just has to rpg you and tag you and its over. tho 3 of there guns can also kill you before you can bolt a second shot. if hes as good as you and is hitting you. Granted most fights both players aren't perfect so you don't die before you get a second or third, or even fourth shot off. vs a light is where it's strong but it heavily comes down to who sees who first in those match ups cause the hp is so low on both of you and lights in general have pretty high dps. It excels at range ofc, but that's the nature of the gun. Much like the db excels are cqb.

It feels strong in TA cause of the low regen, so chip damage is huge, and people don't regen to above 100 (so it will one shot them if they're at the capped regen hp - issue with the mode not the sniper tho).

don't want to wait 10 mins to say i agree so im editing this, @rugged temple Yeah I think something like that is fine, would likely cut down on the complaints coming from powershift.

[rugged temple]

The sway idea is pretty good though, adding sway after scoping for ~1 second would discourage hard scoping. Sniper as a quickscope weapon fits pretty well in the game, its just not a good fit if you stand accross the map.

[dim yacht]

who was the idiot that decided that throwing knifes needed a buff because sweet Jesus they are so unfun to play against its stupid i basically just give up whenever i have to fight against them because the damage is beyond stupid its on the short bus at this point.

[upper citrus]

They kill slower than the smgs. They only feel faster because it’s burst damage

[last swift]

Lights can easily win those fights, all of their special abilities are for moving or hiding. It’s not like you’d even have issues when super close because the hipfire of the sniper is pretty similar to a shotgun in this game. It’s not just a TA problem. They guard from 500 meters away in cash out and are kind of OP in powershift too. Bullet drop or sway please.

[fathom glacier]

TA sucks unless you have a 5 man team then you are unbeatable the matchmaking is garbage and the light sniper just rules the entire match make weapon banning and let us pick what we dont want

[daring fossil]

throwing knives were pretty much useless, they overbuffed them and they were OP and then they nerfed them, they are in a decent spot now.

WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO TO THE MODEL 1887... It's really oppressive

[winter idol]

i get stuck in map loading screen in the finals round mainly every other game. i tried to reinstall nothing is fixing it. happens randomly

[verbal kayak]

Kyoto is a map that is clearly designed for terminal attack. It is not a fun cashout map, spawns are terrible, cashout placements are bad and obviously re-use terminal locations. There aren't enough terminal locations so the remaining cashout spawns are just literally in the middle of no where with no building or cover, or on one of the awkwardly placed moving platforms or suspended structures which don't feel great on this super small map. The damn moving platforms regularly pass on top of each other because it is so cramped! I regularly fight over the first vault for half the game while the other team gets the cashout for free because it continuously spawns you inside of other people. The map is hard to see on, there's too much visual clutter, and its laid out like a valorant map. There is little room for destruction outside of a few cashout spots. Also, the water is cancerous to move in and you cannot see anything in it IE mines/motion sensors/c4s.

[quick coyote]

We need an skibidi toilet sticker

[indigo mural]

I don’t think the 1887 has been touched for a while, people just started hitting their shots

[tough merlin]

Dash makes it harder to be hit, and it makes it harder to shoot. invis with a sniper might give you a single shot advantage but then you're pretty much dead. Also invis with a sniper barely functions if you're scoped in with invis you get this nice blinding scope flair while invisible, rendering invisibility nearly moot. grapple is similar to dash. The hipfire on it isn't like a shotgun at all if you're point blank sure its not to bad to hit but you're not likely to hit the head, and if you're noscoping vs a med or a heavy you're dead cause you need 3-4 body shots. If they're guarding from 500 meter's away then... use one of your abilities to make it so they can't see you? Shield? dematerialize? Shoot just blow up the floor and drop it. They can't glitch from 500 meters away. If they're playing that far away in cashout you have a 3v2 on point. Also altho 500 meter's your exageration, there's also damage fall off on it. Its far think its over 100? when it starts to fall off (pretty much only valid on powershift spawn to spawn shooting) But it does take the sniper from a 1 head shot to a 2 headshot on light >.>

Powershift they're decently strong in but again if they're not playing on point they're not going to be moving it. you can send a player (or yourself) to engage them and keep them from taking pot shots at your team on/around point. Or again use tools to mitigate there ability to shoot. Its also the only mode you can straight up swap class so if you need, just.. snipe them better.

Sway's fine to discoruage literal hard scoping an angle. But otherwise use the tools at hand to counter them

Again TA is by far where they're most powerful cause you have limited uses of tools and the chip damage matters ALOT. Anywhere else you can just take cover, or make cover and heal.

The guns fine where it is, at most add sway to discourage hard scoping.

Real talk though I’ve used nearly every weapon and gadget in this game and won’t complain about any of them unless I’ve used them myself and can tell they’re OP. Sniper is too easy and if you look at the stats, for most games snipers will have the least amount of deaths. Sorry if you don’t like my opinion, this is my feedback in the feedback channel.

[dull tiger]

embark plese make it so he overall gain of a game of ta is positive so we dont have to win two or three games back to back to back to makeup for one loss

[echo urchin]

Get rid of TA. It’s a shit mode and it’s causing people to complain about balancing issues that are only a problem because of that mode. The existing modes are amazing.

The unfair third party thing can be handled by changing it so only one cash out spawns at a time. That way everyone gets third party and no one gets by with a freebie.

Power shift is great for casuals or people who want a more straight combat focused mode.

Oh, and add a football/basketball/quidditch type game mode. Two teams, each have a wall like that one in the practice arena that you throw the cash box in. There is one cash box that the teams fight over and try to score with.

[night rover]

i was in ranked :>

[zealous grove]

Okay, there is a new exploit top players are abusing in Asia region and i have just witnessed first hand. I have been placed against a team with 3 ruby players, and at the beginning of the match one of my teammates had said that if they lose the first round they will cancel the match. now i thought that wasnt possible after the first round but low and behold we had won the first round only to be met with all 3 ruby's leaving and the server crashing. This is seriously disappointing that players are able to exploit the system like this and should be faced with a major RS loss for abandoning the match. My team as well as the poor enemy teammates who had just had more than half their team up and leave is a disgrace to the rank system and how these guys can exploit their ways to the top. Definitely something that needs to be addressed.

[misty jasper]

please fix the sword bug interaction w/ winch it still is breaking sword players

[rose nacelle]

Turrets should be able to target enemy turrets

[crimson cobalt]

i was literally about to come in here and talk about this. As a player solo queueing there are multiple different problems with the current ranked system, such as enemies leaving to cancel the match after the first round, or your own team trying it (and if not everybody leaves the match doesnt cancel) so you either face a ban + count as loss or you just play the match and get dominated until a loss. And if the match for whatever reason isnt canceled after the first round the matchmaking is absolute garbage. In no world in any game should someone queue into ranked and get placed on the same team with someone that is 1/10th of their elo. Why am I at 37 k elo getting placed into the same game as bronzes at 2-4k elo? The players in bronze are absolutely clueless on the objective of the game or even the keybindings and its not even their fault that the matchmaking is pairing us together.

I played in Season 1 ranked and got diamond, i came back to try out the new things that s3 has to offer, and im very disappointed with the ranked system. Cash out tournament for ranked had its own flaws but it was both challenging and fun to play even as a solo. With this current system of ranked it is very hard to solo queue and win. The fact that you cannot heal makes it so much harder to carry a team of bad players. The only solution to this is to limit matching making to players of the same rank as you (ie 30k-50k for plat or 20-30k for gold etc) or to allow players to heal either through regen or through healing beams so they can actually carry. Peeking a room and there being a sentry there can literally ruin a round from just unhealable chip damage.

Sorry for the long rant I felt it was neccessary based on the state of the current ranked system

[regal salmon]

I'm overall pretty happy with S3. A few issues still persist though:

• Lights are OP after the buffs. They're making games oppressive, and turning them into TDM. The 'selfish' class cannot be allowed to be the dominant one. It sucks all the creativity and teamwork out the game.
• Stun Gun and Winch are free kills, which are miserable to fall victim to. Both need a serious rework.
• Events are still largely pointless. Only Low Gravity really has much impact. Most just get ignored.
• Server lag keeps getting worse. Some serious backend work is needed.
• Stop doing challenges that make people throw matches like the 1,000,000 destruction one. It's obnoxious.
• S3's mastery camo is awful. It's almost indistinguishable from default in game.
• World Tour needs cosmetic rewards to drive engagement. If I really wanted $2.50 of multibucks, i'd just buy them, not spend 100 hours grinding them at 2 ½ cents an hour.

[agile jacinth]

World tour rewards being animations etc would be great

[dry kiln]

Grappling hook for the Heavy class is way over powered. One fix that can use to level that out is the Heavy can graple the cash box but use the grapple to push the player away instead. Its a instant kill for light players as well as medium players. @dim yacht I kill players all the time with throwing knives so don't know what your talking about.

[dim yacht]

That completely makes the chain useless. Plus it's not an instant kill as lights can dash away and mediums can survive an m2 and then run. Also why the hell would I complain about the knives not being able to kill I'm complaining about them killing to well.

[thick sorrel]

Heavy main talking about free kills but didn't mentioned RPG. The oppression comes from Heavy.

Nonetheless, Embark needs to be more creative to nerf Winch, Stun and RPG like execution and travel time, range, accuracy, damage, duration. Nerf several aspects because right now its too easy but highly rewarding.

[thorn kelp]

Only thing I disagree with here are Lights being OP and Stun Gun and Winch Claw

[real scroll]

I think turrets could use a nerf because they lock on too quickly

[undone harness]

nah they already got a nerf this season, they're balanced

[sharp willow]

how the fuck do u set up a 1v1 in a priv match

[sonic dune]

Why is there no Basic Mode like a Deathmatch or smh

[tough merlin]

Also people think stun's a free kill haven't fought the actual stun gun. It use to be a free kill (you use to not even be able to really turn around, or ads, or well quite literally anything beside hipfire whatever is infront of you), Now its barely useful. Its really good for denying cashouts and it can (CURRENTLY this keeps getting changed) disable specials. and slows you down. It only recently got back the ability to disable specials. I still ran it but I used it almost exclusively to deny steals, rare occasion to stop someone from chasing. It's gotten a bit more use back with denying dash/heals/shields but in terms of it being a free kill you're better off just... shooting the person with a bullet/knife, with the exception being sword/dagger where the loss of mobility matters more.

Debatably it's better to carry another nade now. Tho the ability to deny cashouts with it is the thing that's kepted me using it through out the many nerfs to it.

If you can't turn around and kill the light who just wasted his first shot on you then thats on you, esp as a heavy with an rpg >.>

Honestly the only use in stunning a heavy now is to prevent them from using shield/charge/winch. they're already slow and easy enough to hit and it doesn't disable rpg anymore.

As for winch, I don't have much of an opinion on it. if your light just dash/run away, if your heavy just kill the guy. Feel like it mainly affects medium but haven't ran into it being much of an issue after the recent nerf.

@daring fossil I'd love if it had two charges tbh

@regal salmon I have 0 idea what games you're playing in i've seen plenty of them using guns.

Also stun's not the issue there, you can quite literally walk away and kill them if they're melee/flamethrower. shield? Gltich. No use wasting a stun on a kill like that. Sledge doesn't kill heavies in one hit. Like i said it might affect medium more but i haven't ran into it being much of an issue after the recent nerf to it.

[daring fossil]

can you please buff the grapple, barely anyone uses the damn thing and it needs like 2-3 seconds off it's cool down.

@tough merlin it would be too strong with 2 charges

[regal salmon]

Most heavies run melee or flamethrower now. Stun is 100% a free kill against them.

Most winch users are sledges too. Again, 100% a free kill against anything but dashers.

[crimson cobalt]

The challenges for the destruction one is annoying af, people come into ranked games as heavy with a hammer (having no previous experience on a heavy) and run around breaking stuff and after their mission is done they are absolutely clueless and there is no punishment for them throwing.
I agree with the statement of lights as they are very strong and make the game TDM without creativity and teamwork. In an ideal world light would be more of a supportive class using glitches + stuns + etc to disrupt and stall enemies but right now it seems they just run around killing things. Sadly there is no obvious changes that can be made without a complete rework so that will be left up to trial and error
Agreed with the camo for S3. I believe that there should be more levels to mastery in general and there should be a legendary skin reward at the end (ie weapon level 100 for a season or weapon level 100 combined etc)
As for winch and stun guns, both are a death sentence for light which is what causes this TDM playstyle because it is too dangerous as a light to play the game 'how its meant to be played' as a winch, stungun, rpg, even a turret setup on objective can kill a light. Winch needs to be more punishing on misses and should have less range to not be able to hook a player from far away and guarentee a death. Stun gun should also have shorter range because 15m gives alot of leeway for a light to get into stun range and still have dashes to chase or run away
Winch adds a very fun playstyle to heavy to allow them to have something other than goo gun/mesh dominating the meta but a good winch user can absolutely dominate games, Its the same way with lights aswell and I think both classes needs to have two distinct playstyles to really set an identity for them. There is no playstyle for light to be supportive and the only viable one is to TDM, Winch allows heavy to have Shield for support OR a winch as a more damaging role which is a good step Light just needs something like it

[narrow sun]

I use to be a medium main and now I switched to light because now medium feels a little underwhelming and is probably the worst build to play in season 3. Mediums specializations are ok definitely the worst specializations in the game the turret is mid and the healing beam is good for support but it could be way better. The demat and the data reshaper are just straight ass not a lot of use for them there good in some scenarios but otherwise garbage. Really miss the recon scanner yes it was basically wall hacks but right now so many op specializations so we really need a new specialization for for medium. Also the guns are very underwhelming and the gadgets are good. We just need a really good specialization to make the game balanced out so it’s not just light and heavy users with there broken builds running around.

[fringe adder]

what are they going to nerf next update they don't even play their own game im sure they just put a blind fold and say we are going to nerf this gun or that gun its unbelevable the game is going to die if they keep ruining it

[wheat leaf]

please fix all the glitches thank you.

[grizzled lake]

Twice I have gotten into games that don’t load in and when i reset I have to sit in a game that is telling me i left and that the match will end and I receive a penalty even though i rejoined it in time this bug needs to be fixed

[violet elbow]

slightly rebuff range on the V9S maybe up to 15m start and 20m dropoff end at 75%, currently the gun sits in the same range as the M11 without doing anything better than it within that range.

or consider giving it a 2x headshot multiplier like the LH1, Sniper and Revolver

[trim crown]

all points total true.

[hybrid dock]

Model 1887 is the e most inconsistent shotgun in game and needs a complete rework. I shouldn’t have to be touching my opponents with the end of the barrel for every pellet to not only CONNECT but do damage. Incredible that I can watch shot after shot ricochet off of my enemies as they chew me up

[somber axle]

or just bring the feature to select seasonal music

[untold hazel]

nerf the snipers

[sharp willow]

everyday is a bad day when TA exists

[elfin summit]

Give grapple more charges or lower cooldown (I wanna be like titanfall)

[hybrid dock]

Need a serious nerf on snipers and nerf the fuck out of the grenade launcher

[rugged temple]

The grenade launcher 😭

[sharp briar]

I just played a game as light. Easiest game of my life and I felt too powerful. I understand that light is hard to balance, so I have a few ideas.

Nerf the accuracy of all guns except throwing knives and sniper. Would be a good start.

Give the class 25 more hp.

This would make the class more forgiving at range but more formidable overall.

[fossil vault]

Medium shotgun is too OP
Shouldn't be getting 8-10+ headshots with any weapon just to get the enemy to half hp
Smalls should have faster health regen, Large should have slower health regen (mid being the standard rate)
Hit boxes need to change for the Mid class with shield and dual swords -- shield player could be running and still blocks body shots when shield is at their side, also when shield is up, leg/feet hits don' register. Dual swords, same, they block at chest level, but all shots to head and body/ areas that are not blade width do no register.

[violet elbow]

what am I even reading

mfs asking for TKs and Sniper buffs and for Light to take less skill i cant bro istg

[forest mason]

Embark here me out, Chainsaws for heavy, imagine a heavy chasing after you like a crazed maniac with a chainsaw, you hear the chainsaw from a far distance, building up that fear like you are in a texas chainsaw movie. it is capable of tearing down walls and enemies alike. and since chainsaw don't require ammo, it would overheats just like a healing beam would. As for the right-click, it is optional to include a slashing attack.

[river hill]

Nice

[wild pebble]

Dude I just want to play ranked which isn’t 2 v 5 😭

[hybrid dock]

These guys have never been in a loss cycle in TA lmao

[abstract rose]

please nerf light

[obsidian solar]

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here are a few ways that can improve the shield, as it underperforms against any other ranged and melee weapon. 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)
• The shield should block a larger area of the body to make it more consistent at blocking melee, bullets, and splash damage. Players with decent aim can easily hit the arms and legs which defeats the whole purpose of it.
• Blocking melee attacks should inflict a knockback to prevent melee weapons from clipping through and scoring a second hit with the active frames.
• Increase the melee range, even just +1m of range would make it feel so much better to catch enemies that were just outside your range before.
• Electrify the baton and allow it to glitch enemies for a very short period, it would provide a lot of team utility and prevent dash lights and charge and slam heavies from effortlessly hard countering shielders

FIX THE RIOT SHIELD BUGS:

• When picking up throwables in the arena, the first person shield model gets messed up and blocks your entire screen.
• Remove the fov zoom in and turning speed reduction when you raise the shield to block, it makes it overly clunky to use and feels terrible in a fast pace environment.
• Pyro grenades "stick" to the shield and burn the player forever, making it also impossible to see

GIVE SMOKE GRENADES TO ALL CLASSES:

• Give smoke grenade to all classes! It would open so many strategies for the other builds! I would use smoke so much if it was on medium, especially to better support my team against fire, detection sources, or to help revive teammates, and steal cashouts in an open area.

FIX THE GLITCH TRAP:

• Glitched heavy can still use the winch claw and it doesn't stop chargeNslam

[sharp briar]

Glich trap doesent stop charge and slam because it’s something the character physically does with their body. A emp wouldn’t stop you from running a lil faster or throwing a grappling hook, but it makes sense for sheilds because they are electrical.

[hard badger]

everytime I look at player count of the finals I see it going downwards (on steam)... I think you need to do something about it

[broken geyser]

1. Allow heavy players to throw their spears. But not unlimited like the throwing knives. Instead when u throw it once u have to wait for it to come back to ur hand kinda like Thors hammer. It's literally a SPEAR. And having to wait for it to come back even to engage in close range battle prevents it from being overpowered but viable longer distances. Maybe allow players to aim and throw it through by toggling on and off the aiming mode.

2. Give more button optimisation for controller players for example triggering something or being able to choose an item with the double tap or triple of a button or swipe on the middle pad of a controller.

3. More character slots

[eternal aspen]

reverse the CL-40 nerf

[rotund wind]

can someone explain how a heavy can gravity cube the box 10 meters into the air and a light on ground level can still take the box

[eternal kite]

As an OCE player, it is extremely hard to find matches in ranked. I would love to see a matchmaking system that widens the scope of players to match with the longer the queue goes on. This may produce some mixed bag lobbies but would at least guarantee a match after a while.

[hard sparrow]

Oi oi oi baakaa

[rough herald]

where tf is that second shot gone to?

@stuck idol [rpg have join the sever]

[thick sorrel]

And be more creative to nerfing like execution and travel time, range, accuracy, damage, duration.

[vagrant galleon]

finals has a long way to go to compete against the likes of apex, cs nd all those other high end games.. they know exactly what they need to do to make it a playable game IF they listen to anyone in their community.. kinda upsetting that its still super buggy, but give it time

[stuck idol]

what are you on about 😭

the only broken thing right now is throwing knives
plus oce queues

[iron berry]

erm, theres quite a bit of things

[topaz swallow]

if throwing knives dont get a nerf/rework in the upcoming patch im gonna lose my shit.

:Reduce their projectile size and nerf that damage to the ground, there is no reason for a weapon with infinite ammo to deal that much dmg.

[marsh raptor]

Bump bump bump . I concur on all of this as someone who also enjoys the shield.

[thick sorrel]

Model 1887 needs the same treatment like SH1900, more spread over distance.

[jagged cradle]

Any recommendations on how to check my latency? I am curious as how the connection is in the finals... Some games it's buttery smooth and some games I'm really struggling to hit players...

TA is shit and unbalanced, the more I play it the more I get disgusted by it. Currently top 300 in ranked but I cant stand it no more, good luck making the The Finals shine with TA, hope the peak player count on steam wont drop below 10k at the end of the season which I consider any game to be a dead game

[quick coyote]

how to fix light
make guns inaccurate
Save some bad ideas for the heavies.

[eternal valley]

Everybody is spamming with their bullshit, while a real problem seems to get no attention at all. The game keeps getting stuck on loading screen before entering a match in World Tour. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME!!! Yet all you pieces of trash are crying "wah nerf this, wah nerf that"...

[somber axle]

Or just make the throwing knives have a cooldown like the arms gone tired after throwing the knives for too long

[rough herald]

i can wait 10min more per loading screen if the game is fun

[topaz swallow]

This issue has been talked about a lot already, several bug reports exist in the #1201841543926005810 channel about this exact issue and similar issues. Some CM's have even confirmed directly that this is known and the Devs are working on it.

We're all really frustrated by this issue too, and i personally get pissed off and swear at these devs alot, but perhaps dont unleash your anger towards the community, there are other issues to address as well and insulting us(the players) for not screaming about your specific issue enough, wont earn you any sympathy points.

[shut hedge]

Okay so I'm an Xbox player and I want to buy the season 3 set of the rainbow ones as I have the other two from season 1 and 2 but the Microsoft shop is saying that the pack is having some issues?
I really want it to have all three but I just can't I would show an image of the error code but I don't have permission to do so in this chat

[fiery terrace]

The hit detection on dual blades is atrocious. I can stand right in front of a player, aim right at them and blades redirect 0 damage. The weakest weapon on medium because it's main mechanic doesn't even work properly

[midnight bison]

This is so stupid... If you lose your connection, you have a fraction of a moment to reconnect, otherwise, you get suspended. Additionally, you lose the elo points for that match. Now, if you lose against a cheater who is reported and banned (the game informed me that he was banned), you don't get back the points you lost to the cheater. What kind of design is this? Every day, this game gives me more and more reasons not to be played.

[haughty oriole]

how u did it?

[covert yacht]

One big problem i have with the balance team is that i feel like the small buff so many things like throwing knifes LH1 etc, That when people catch up to that they are good weapons everyone will use them same with APS earlier with medium.
So right now Dash and LH1 or throwing knifes are really OP and i feel like there is no counterplay to them

For the love of Christmas cookies please fix the whole ‘suspension for leaving’ system. It’s season 3 and we still get suspended for leaving matches after teammates have already left. Come on this is embarrassing.

[shy parcel]

add a butterfly knife skin for the dagger lol

[nimble kiln]

fuck you mean nerf dagger, TK's i kinda agree that they are too spammy but dagger is body blockable already since they shat on sledge and dagger. nothing further you can nerf besides removing hitreg. besides you never see good dagger lights in game

[pseudo leaf]

MINUS 600 with afk nice fucking game thought he was useless because he was unranked very nice. WHAT ABOUT MAKING THIS MATCH MAKING MORE CLOSER TO YOUR RANK SO I DON'T GET TO PLAY WITH THOSE WORTHLESS PEOPLE AND BECAUSE OF THIS SOME OF THE RUBYIES JUST GETS LUCKY AND GETS THEIR FREE MATCH. CASH OUTS MATCH MAKING WAS DOGSHIT TOO THIS IS WORST THAN CASOUTS MATCH MAKING

[raven topaz]

500m only headshot instant kill still hard to detect apparently

[digital sinew]

if you want world tour to be something, give it a purpose, now it just some long boring cashouts, and the exp must be separated from the battle pass
make the "sponsors" to a real thing
let each sponsor give us something unique to it
playing this mode gives me nothing, id rather play 1 round cashout where I can swap weapons and whatever

[small jasper]

Fix this:
If someone is already cheating by wall-hacking in a ranked match, achieving 28 kills all with one hit, and the opponent is live-banned while leading 6-0, but I still get penalized with -1200 points, it is incomprehensible to me.

[lunar plaza]

add support for people whose teammates left the match for the world tour. it is absolutely impossible to play with two people in the final round against three people. add AT LEAST a faster and closer res than the full team. So that people don’t abuse this, make sure that these buffs come to an incomplete team if the third one is completely unable to return to the match

[obsidian solar]

why do people keep posting here? its clear they dont care for this channel since look how many people asked to revert TA ranked and they still havent done shit to make the game better lol... terrible changes and decision making to change the core of the game....
bring back all maps into rotation
bring back cashout ranked, you can keep TA in the game but not as the MAIN ranked mode...
make cashout in final round 25k instead of 10k

[crystal storm]

Heavy:

• RPG > damage reduced DMG from 140 to 100, full damage only on direct hit
• Winch hook > remove from game, or rework it completely
• Mesh shield > Reduced HP from 750 to 700
• M60 > increase damage drop off range by 10 meters
• Lewis gun > clean up the recoil pattern to be less aggressive horizontally
• Charge and slam > reduce damage by half so you cant instantly kill M's, reduce cooldown. Should be more utility than 1 shot cheese.

Medium:

• Recon senses > re-add to game - rework to be a single ping like recon nades but originating from the player. 3 charges with a pretty long recovery time
• Turret > Add a attack delay of 0.3s so it doesnt instantly shoot if you are in its FOV
• Defib > Remove invincibility time after getting ressed
• FCAR > 3rd shot of recoil jumps way to hard right, reduce that horizontal recoil
• FAMAS > Increase damage drop off range, replace the terrible ironsights with RDS or holo.
• R.357 > increase damage drop off range and slightly lower reload time

Light:

• Grappling hook > lower cooldown

• Throwing Knives > Make the projectiles lose velocity and damage over distance, boost initial velocity, Lower fire rate

• LH1 > revert damage to 52 but lower fire rate

• 93R > increase damage and damage drop off range

• DB > lower damage to 145 damage

• V9S > Lower fire rate but increase damage (1 less shot to kill)

• Explosive mines > damage from multi mines exploding from different sources do not stack. Damage reduced from 140 to 100

• Cash-out should periodically give cash over time in a couple of instances (ie: 3k-5k-10k). Many high ELO games just becomes stalling for first 75% CO the time.

• Remove Terminal attack from the game permanently, you cant balance the game for TA and CO at the same time, one will always suffer

[harsh torrent]

Why ranked matchmaking sucks? (Im gold, got in a lobby with ruby and full plat 😊🙏)

[drowsy vector]

TA ranked needs to be shorter so we can find games without waiting so GD long. And also in world tour there’s always 1 team dominating everyone, there needs to be some kind of sbmm

embark please add more daily challenges from 5 to 10 or even 15, also ya'll doing the great job don't listen to cry babies above, please 🙏, balance the game how ya'll think it needs to be done because if we start balancing game on our own needs and feelings game would be absolute mess and garbage, ya'll know what's the best for the game, tnx

[cyan osprey]

Please give some love to the dual blades. No one plays them so no one knows how garbage they truly are

[hollow breach]

Implement a weekly rotation of (old) game modes, offering a different mode to play each week. This approach prevents long queues and avoids splitting the player base, issues that permanent game modes typically cause. Modes like Team Death Match and Guns Roulette, which don't work well as permanent fixtures due to declining popularity and long queue times, can be included. This change will also allow for more variety in challenges and other in-game activities.

remove the sledge hammer whos with me? stop defending the sledge hammer it does 200 dmg alt fire with no charge time and gamage is applied in an aoe it needs to be removed it requires no skill at all. for those claiming that it has a lot of charge time it takes 1.18 seconds to kill somebody in light class with it for reference most of the light class weapons cant even reach that kill speed and the weapons that can match it require every single shot to be headshots. so why does a weapon that the only down side is range exists its just annoying to get killed by somebody who didn't have to aim and all they did was just right click on there mouse an stayed near you
