[broken herald]

nerf throwing knifes

[quick coyote]

Melee on med could use QoL changes and tons of fixes. Medium is a support class and shouldn't really be running around looking for kills let alone with melee

[real rivet]

so the infinite loading screen bug is still not fixed, new kind of hackers now :P,

[long flame]

Replay feature when?, i wanna make montages,nah i want the pov of all the players, itll make content creation so much easier and will have a wide reach

[burnt notch]

Just download a recording software like Outplayed. It’s not that hard.

Fair.

[gritty umbra]

qol stuff needs to be implemented for longevity. having to go to 3rd party shit just to have things set up the way u eany and running a risk for a ban is not the moves. things like custom games browser/ map maker, crosshair custimization, the works, is why something as abysmal as overwatch can sustain itself for so long. Just give people the tools to play how they want

[rough herald]

i want to know how the guy got behind me which i can't know form my pov

[quick coyote]

thats not the same thing lol

[ashen stirrup]

Here's my feedback for the day:

I like playing with no HUD but its very glitchy and doesn't support playing in cashout very well ( doesn't show you cashboxes, ally outlines dissapear sometimes, cant respawn ). It would be cool to see a simplified or minimalist version of the regular HUD or be able to customize it ourselves in the options menu.

[muted ice]

theres a glitch where i sometimes cant run up stairs, it keeps getting me killed mildly frustrating to say the least

[rugged temple]

There is one specific set of stairs on kyoto that's just broken

[blazing snow]

KS23 nerf is way overboard. It's actually useless now. If you're going to make it only do 100 damage per slug at least get rid of projectile speed and make it hitscan too. It's just a worse 1887 at this point.

[tribal spoke]

Very argueable

[rose nacelle]

The XP-54 needs a range nerf, seriously.

[upper citrus]

you can argue that they're not good but not really that their purpose isnt defense / utility.

they should not recieve buffs to their offensive power because thats not meant to be the focus of the weapons

[coral axle]

community event of the top 5 worst weapons in the game, L after L

[unique nimbus]

When will dagger be fixed. I'm getting one shot when facing a light.

[lime lichen]

thats such a bad take holy shit, so you think just because meds melee can block means that it cant attack? you need to stop

[rough herald]

anyone got a feeling that the dev is out of touch?

[slate iron]

yeah, with the whole world tour/TA thing

[eager ivy]

honestly bro game fell off hard

[unkempt bane]

skill issue

[plain lotus]

All you do is play this game then come whine about it

[burnt ridge]

Game crashed and kicked me out now am on 30min suspension cant even reconnect.
Great job embark👍

[slender mica]

Just got a 20 minute ban becuase it wouldn't load me into game 😮‍💨

[wise falcon]

Yoooo some of the weapons still cause damage after all these nerfs is that a bug or what?

[young hamlet]

Make the grenades like stratagems from Helldivers 2
If i die with one in my hand, drop it and make it explode

[tepid shard]

I hate when that happens.

[sonic spoke]

Thank you for making a game that could have a contestant look like this lol!!! love it!

[brazen swift]

what do i do it wont let me load in a match and i keep getting error code TFGE0027 😭😭😭

[upper citrus]

holy fuck

[brisk star]

run zipline

[tribal spoke]

Sure, they have a secondary purpose of being defensive, but, that doesnt mean they cant be good offensively, either way, both the weapons suck right now and could use some buffs

[tranquil storm]

Embark you need to pump out balancing changes more consistently. I feel that a lot of people have left because of how neglected the balancing is. On top of that, you have technical issues that make the game harder to enjoy.

Gamemodes are a bit of a problem too. Removing Cashout from the casual pool was also a big mistake in my opinion. To me it seems like both the casual and competitive playerbases are upset, which is why S3 hasn't been performing as well as S2. This is how I feel anyway, I really want this game to succeed but there are issues that should be addressed way sooner.

[fallow plank]

It's the summer, give them time

[daring storm]

Please make the arrow hitbox bigger and/or make the arrows pass through shields. The bow has no consistent niche, sucks when you get jumped, and can easily be walled by any form of barrier because you cant chase, you cant do well in close quarters, and you have no consistent hitscan damage

[violet elbow]

"take stun from light and give it to medium"

ah yes, because getting stunned + mined at your feet will be absolutely fun

[tough berry]

Make the stun gun a specialization, this fixes the balancing issue

[summer thistle]

remove lmao from curse words

[modern crypt]

NEED MATCH HISTORY (RANKED)

[rough herald]

nah it won't, light without mobility is pretty useless so they have to buff the shit out of stun to make it a viable option compare to dash
(we don't need a whole rework all the time when it just a balancing issue)

[eager ivy]

facts

[proper quarry]

Speaking of where's recon senses?

[wise falcon]

The game was supposed to be fast paced and it's simply not anymore. idk what you're even trying to say either cause the game feels 10x easier than it did in December. It's just super boring compared to what it used to be.

[sand parcel]

Moving platforms on seoul shouldnt be a thing.

[cold bolt]

can we add radahn to the desert las vegas map, I think him shooting gravity arrows would spice up the gameplay

[cerulean birch]

we need a stim as a gadget fr

[fallow plank]

that'd be cool

[deep summit]

Rpg self dmg should be its max dmg 140, still a lot, half of the heavy health.
KS needs faster reload speed, half of the fighting is just reloading

[olive vector]

SOLO MODE IDEA: Have all the cashout points open at all times in every location and make the timer faster on all of them to cash out. Then have around 5 cash out boxes live at all times. This will mean people will be able to rotate around the map and it will be a lot of fun!

P.S Also give us a Death match on smaller sections of the maps 😁🤘

[dreamy ore]

YES SERIOUSLY!!!!!! and maybe les fire rate

[upper citrus]

Hopefully gone permanently. Any revision will likely lack natural counterplay besides just waiting it out. Incredibly boring concept I hope it’s gone for good

[teal bear]

New Bank it is great. It feels like that should be the mode that is promoted to new players. It softly introduces the idea of acquire/deposit/ hold a defensive position on objective, while still remaining mostly a kill fest. As players get more comfortable they can move on to the flag ship mode.

[crystal umbra]

I remember when we dropped a new game mode mid season for S2. Maybe this is wishful thinking on my part but maybe we can drop another new game mode mid season?
(Initially temporary like TA was and add it if people like it)

I understand that Bank-It has moved slower to a TDM style mode with the recent changes but maybe this mode I've been mentioning may have a shot at being a "good" mix of casual gameplay with some team play considerations.

+A larger team than just 3 people. Idk

✨New Game Mode Concept: "Blitz"✨Day 18

Here is 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 for new players to jump into The Finals and contribute.

Fast-paced and engaging:
Short to medium length matches and constant objective switching keep the action flowing, as well as short respawn times.

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, revives, and strategy but I think a game mode with fast respawns is well overdue in a game like The Finals.

GAMEPLAY:

Team Setup:
3 teams of 4 players.
If possible - 3 teams of 5?

• Here I want to increase team size because I feel like people want bigger team sizes in The Finals to play with more friends. Also we might want a lot of concentrated destruction.
  I feel like 3 teams of 4 would not be too much and would be fun for a casual game mode.
  (Also would effect the size of zone and balance which is fine since all of this is just a concept)

Blitz Zone:
A designated area on the map becomes the objective ("Blitz Zone" or whatever it ends up being 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 exponentially 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 EACH (since there is a full team alive in the zone)

Penalties & Rewards:
"Direct Deposit" - Kills have a small siphon effect where you take money from the enemy you killed and it's added to your teams total balance.
NOTE: Only kills between players inside the Blitz Zone have siphon effect. ✨Clutch players REJOICE✨

"Team wipe" aka "Bankruptcy" - Same as cashout, you loose a percentage of your teams balance if your whole team is dead at the same time.
OR bankruptcy can have a short lock-out effect where a team might not be able to earn for a short period of time after respawning.

("Bankruptcy" might be too much for a casual mode since it makes another variable to calculate mid gunfight. Might but be good for the gamer that wants to just shut their brain off. If they play this and don't care about score tm8s will complain and ruin the mood... Maybe this is an idea for a less casual mode🤷🏾‍♂️)

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

Suggestion:
For all casual modes, turn on auto Re-que. It's a wise decision.

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

Thanks for your consideration 🚀

[dense ocean]

let console players able/disable HUD too

[proper quarry]

This is called power shift

[minor canopy]

IF YOU MEAT GUY NAMEWD FITTROOPER WATCH OUT HE IS NOOB AKA FAKE DIAMNOND DOING SHIT

[proud kraken]

The RPG self dmg was low before, and it was really bad for a heavy to be able to easily take out a medium or light, possibly even a team with a low penalty.

With 140dmg to self, a heavy would literally have 210 health left over, it was simply an unfair fight.

It makes sense as it is.

[unkempt bane]

We need red cape to do saitama cosplay

[deep summit]

Heavy has no mobility, lights and mediums jump into heavy’s face so they don’t miss, making rpg useless. Self dmg being more than max dmg just makes no sense, rpg doesn’t have perfect aim, there’s some rng where the rocket goes. Game is very unbalanced

[velvet nexus]

all of the music has been great so far but I do wish it captured the spirit of the first seasons music more, season ones music can only be described as literally what playing the game feels like

[distant fossil]

seems more like a self report saying "cheats work better with the xp45"

[tacit dock]

The double swords really ruin this game. Trash concept.

[fading pelican]

So I just played 3 games. 2 of them 3-4 teammates quitted after our team suffered a Team Wipe.
I think it might be because one of the contract/missions requires 12/TWELVE rounds won.
It ruins the game.
Can we stop having contracts with win conditions? Or at least lessen them or mix them with alternative conditions?

Reasons to not have contracts with x number of win condition:

1. Quitters will increase especially in quick play (ex. power shift)
2. Cheaters have not been completely dealt with so players feel extra sting when losing to cheaters and then losing on fulfillment of contract.
3. Increases incentive to cheat just to get gear/equipment.

I don't know if the win conditions is to prevent lazy/sleazy players who dont contribute but it ain't working if we got quitters because of it.

[upbeat patio]

Embark, whats with your servers. I report and block somebody for a violation and you match me with the same person....

[slate mauve]

It seems Data Reshaper doesn't get exp correctly. No matter how many items are reshaped during a match, the exp gained is the same based on the length of the match and just having it equipped.

[latent meteor]

newest update ruined servers

[wintry trout]

@true epoch so when you guys gonna actually fix not loading into games

[visual bane]

it would be cool to have endorsements for the game, i say GG every round i do with randoms, but it would be cool if i could give them a little award (like 100 multibucks per endorsement) or a thing were able to put on their contestant card that just represents the users a good team player (like a little star or heart, or could have a card background be like those kpop idol deco cards with hearts, or maybe this be an award after so many endorsements)!!! :)

[wicked current]

anyone else love the new mecha suit but slightly turned down by the sound it makes?

[fading pelican]

Lemme just add one more thing.
My mentality during fulfilling win contracts but our team loses:
"Man, what a waste of time."
Several possible outcomes:

1. "We could've won. Let me blame my teammates." - becomes toxic or leaves (to find "better" team)
2. "This game wastes my time." <- worse, because this affects stay of players or spending on cosmetics (which a lot consider for long-term but may be avoided if long-term thinking dreads time being wasted)

All because of win condition contracts. It's ridiculous.
Please consider behavioral science and incentive-making.
This game can be fun but forcing people to take up certain weapons, play certain modes, or do inconsistent/unreliable contracts (which win conditions are due to uncertainty in teammates [which if forced may discourage solo players] and in dealing with cheaters [worse because feels like win is stolen if opponents have cheater OR strangely celebrated but encourages cheating if cheater is a teammate])

[burnt notch]

Outplayed lets you record replays

[quick coyote]

the %% of no reg is just joke at this point bro lol

[thorn elbow]

REMOVE KYOTO WORST MAP IN THE GAME BY SO FAR IN CASHOUT

[marsh raptor]

😯 you no like it ?

[haughty bay]

Remove lights from the game, I don’t like their kind

[pliant root]

There should be a randomize team button in custom matches

[young hamlet]

So commendations from R6?

[keen heath]

I’m starting to get the feeling no one like Melee and never want the meta to change for what it’s be for 3 seasons

[crystal umbra]

-3 Teams of 4
-Switching between multiple areas of interest (like in HardPoint)
-Areas can be a mix of cover and open field.
-Team wipes are still in the game mode
Respawn times are 5 seconds (generally low AF respawn times)
-The more people on the point the team earns exponentially more money
-Kills between players in the point are siphoned off to the opposite team.
-Every team can earn at the same time, but, the team with the most skills will win more often.

Had to break it down for you. I got you tho.

Zip lines & Jump pads can be useful for getting back to the point and earning money.

Baracades, Mesh&Dome shields may be useful for bunkering down and fighting on the point for maximum earning.

Light class burst damage and mobility may be useful for siphoning off points.

AND THATS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE STRATEGY BUILDING. I could go on about how this new mode could incorporate each gadget.

[quick coyote]

Bro make demat work correctly and as expected when used. Its the only SPECIAL ability that can just completely fuck you because of the maps. Making me use all 3 charges to get through a single wall because its 3 triangles instead of a block is just ass.

The model can't go up against a single gun with a halfway decent shooter behind it. Most guns can kill you before you can get a second shot off.

[bleak nexus]

Cloak is extremely overpowered in high elo lobbies. Sniper battles where milliseconds matter. You CANNOT see invisible snipers nearly well enough. I shouldnt be required to run sonar. You shouldnt be able to ADS with a sniper while invis. It's not just moments like this. The crowd outside the arena has cameras flashing all the time which looks much like the sniper glare. It's just not consistent

[half briar]

Can we get a level 7 heal beam? Is there a reason it's the only thing in the whole game without a level 7 skin?

[formal raft]

Not to just add to this train but bring back cash out ranked. I hope Embark has been making the changes it needs for this to be a thriving esport gamemode.

[lapis oriole]

Horizon needs some variations like some underground instead of that dead black street with minimal cover, or some glitchy void that kills whoever who falls (with floating cubes and glitchy structures)

[fathom glacier]

the amount of light players in every match ruin this game put a limiter on 2 per class per team this is fucking stupid

[slate mauve]

because just like the turret, it does not have a lvl 5 white skin like every other gadget/weapon. so when they auto generated skins for everything, the beam and turret didn't. .-.

also i agree. it should have the skins.

[gleaming schooner]

I need friends to play games with me

[proper barn]

I don't think this should be possible

[brave copper]

I just want to know which dev loves cl-40. The self inflicted damage from that weapon has been a joke compared to all other explosives since S1. Regardless of any changes, that aspect has always been kept to a minimum.

[tardy prism]

game crashed during ranked and it's my fault, I'm sorry I don't have a super computer made by elon musk

[fading geode]

for real! point blank a wall and it does like 30 to you. point blank someones face and it does 40 to them and 300 to you

[edgy urchin]

day 22 of asking embark to balance the finals!

[sharp bolt]

Is embark going to bring back deaths on post match summary or what are they doing?

[rapid plume]

I mean you literally stood still in the open there. That's asking to be fragged by everyone, invis light or not.

[merry rain]

More slots! Let's get our Fäsh-On! https://www.change.org/p/fäsh-on-would-like-to-be-a-sponsor-for-the-finalstm?recruiter=1343988952&recruited_by_id=2aaa3c40-4465-11ef-8fe7-33b0b31e5bc6&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=share_for_starters_page&utm_medium=copylink

[torpid elbow]

We desperately need a dedicated vault bind

[queen shale]

same with cl 40

[summer citrus]

Playing platform with 4v5 since the beginning and no one joins in the whole game, can't you guys just fix? and the team balance is terrible, ive got the bad teammates all the time

[sonic spoke]

Scotty: "What's that June... Ah, Yes.. the steamrollers just got steamrolled! That was not pretty."
June: "You said it Scotty. They got caught in the Kingfish's net, and never got out!"

[fading plover]

This would be a Heavy Build for shop idea, Lumber Jack with White shirt, red flannel double side axe, dirty work pants.

[foggy echo]

Nerf throwing knives

[night bone]

Stop putting console player in PC lobbies pls, this destroy every chance to get higher rank

[jagged vector]

Nerf lights, they are op, go invisible run away kill invisible get another kill bs

[real scroll]

for the love of everything holy please nerf invisibility

[oblique olive]

fix spear alt fire hitreg

[quick coyote]

Bunny hopping knives need a nerf. Your hit detection is just not good enough dude like whats happenin g is it going between their fuckin legs

[pliant scroll]

Just got an infinite loading screen on a powershift match. FTG.

[summer citrus]

What a game, 4v5 on platform again no one joins in ,doing 12k damage still lose, do some works embark. Stop uploading new skins, get some fixs

[crisp bobcat]

shouldnt be required to run sonar... what? why would you not? You're telling me theres 3 other gadgets you'd rather have than wallhacks? You know how many kills I've gotten bc of sonars? Probably thousands

Thermal vis is a great counter at midrange. depending on weather conditions I can usually start to see cloaked lights around the 60m mark (although very faintly, to see them reliably at that range you kinda have to ADS) I always run it on my sniper - I love hearing the cloak sound close to me, flicking on thermal and thinking to myself (oh boy this mf is about to get the surprise of his life).

Learn how to bait peek - when im watching angles I try to position myself in such a way that I can only get sniped from my FOV, and somewhere that has access to cover. Strafe in Strafe Out, know what to look for. If they're standing still then theres not much you can do other than to bait them to ADS so you can see a glint. Don't overpeek and hold ADS too long. quick ins quick outs if you need to ADS at all. Learn the spawn sites on each map - write them down, have that handy until it becomes burned into your brain

I could go on for paragraphs... If you know a good sniper, ask them for advice, or just go in the light hangout discord and ask around

TLDR - there ARE mechanics/techs you can do to counter cloaked light snipers,

I run dash and I smoke cloak lights

[lilac flame]

only pc players😭

[proper barn]

I don't think you understand what he's saying buddy

[silver venture]

Running fcar and 3 mines is not ok omg

[frozen pelican]

When are we going to stop getting dual blades skins, skins for a weapon very few people use, when there's still heavily used gear out there with no skins at all? This is the 5th dual blades skin we've gotten this season and xp54 still has no battle pass skins. Not only that, but this new protocol core set? Yeah, it looks visually cool; holy fuck that model looks like a pain for the ALREADY BROKEN hitreg system. This season is crashing and burning in the worst possible way and I really hoped this wouldn't happen to the game, but the cosmetics were one of the last bastions of hope for The Finals, because they're so cool, and those are being ruined too.

[trail terrace]

Have you tried shooting at their legs? It seems to work for me

[peak pine]

I'm running to a lot of hackers this season

[bleak nexus]

this guy trying to instruct me how to play sniper LMAO

[rough herald]

theres a very detailed tracker for this game, it even track ur average combat, support, objective, kda, damage, damage per 10min, ect ect

[tribal spoke]

Just went against a full light team in a plat lobby and I can confirm the dual blades are useless if the enemy team can press buttons, not only do you get extremely out dpsed by most of the light weapons if you even get close enough because good luck with that if the light is aware your there, and if you try blocking you better hope it reflects (It wont 90% of the time)

[nocturne shale]

Mines are way too quiet like some times they dont even make sound or im actually going insane

[normal fable]

asking for almost 2 mil kills with s3 equipment for a community event when half of the new gear is ass is wild

[bitter aspen]

snipers need to be reworked entirely, maybe into a kraber, ive been seeing a lot more players do the snipe and melee combo which is extremely unhealthy for this game

[daring fossil]

I mean, its over half way and still 3 days left?

[near nova]

what exactly is you EAC contract for?
EMBARK your EAC cannot counter cheating players online

If a person cheating, 9 players will suffer, and the player who did not cheat cannot leave midway.
What the hell is this rule?

cheater is everywhere in this season 3
I love this game so much but now I feel so bad 😩

[rough herald]

give hook more counter play and make it not go throw shield

[stark notch]

Pretty sure they're using the free version of EAC

[fading geode]

this game needs a total rework. lights stay invis till after they kill you, explosives do more damage to you than anyone or thing else, cheaters in atleast every 3rd match. damage in practice is not the damage that gets delt in the game. getting 2 shot with throwing knives when 5 shots from the cl-40 hitting right where they are standing doesnt even deal half damage to a light. balance is totally off.

[sour crescent]

fcar no no good 😦

[quartz yoke]

Hello Finalists, can anyone tell me why my Weekend World Tour contracts have already been completed? (From last weekend?)

[red knot]

change the Matchmaking system!
if you don't play this game for around 1-2 weeks because, well, YOU HAVE A LIFE!
you get technically m0lested by the matchmaking system for it, because it uses the data that's 1-2 weeks old without thinking about the fact that you wouldn't immediately play like you did 1-2 weeks ago.
that's why i hate SBMM, it only uses data (in a really dumb way to) without thinking about how old the data itself is.
the only way to (maybe) break free from that problem is to play with friends, just sucks for you if your friends don't play the finals rn...

[hard badger]

please change killstealing to the one who did the most damage or just that both get the kill who did enough damage. Got one elem while I did most damage and deserve to have 4 kills -_-

[verbal crane]

I would pay money to get a new revolver skin. please

[daring fossil]

snub nose ftw

[red knot]

nerf throwing knifes. i don't even need to say more because everyone knows this weapon is broken.

[heavy citrus]

Day 55 of asking to add a real blocking feature

[hard badger]

remove snipers from powershift please. they mostly dont move and just camp and shoot everyone on the payload. its lazzy and stupid gameplay from them. I also never see a sniper guy on the platform lmao, says enough I guess!

[viral mountain]

Bro I love it when we're winning with a strong start, one enemy leaves and they get an immediate autofill, then a teammate leaves and we're down a man for the whole match(we lost ofc). is this too much to ask?

[unkempt bane]

Erase 🌛 low gravity events and merge to 👽 UFO events

[quick coyote]

You can still bug out when you get winched... So not only is it one of the most toxic interactions that nobody asked for (literally free kills for the strongest class) it can also ruin your entire match and force you to reconnect to play the game.

I applaud the bug fixes made by Embark, the fellas don't even know if they fixed the infinite loading screen bug or not; Completely clueless team.

To be precise this bug adds an insane latency in your movement, doesn't let you interact, can't use the ability, no sliding animation, can't mantle. So you're basically forever winched. And this has been there since the season dropped.

How did this thing even make it to the game? Do playtests even exist? If they do are the testers just afk in the main menu to finish their quota or something? Every updates adds more bugs and doesn't fix ones from Season 1...

[candid belfry]

Can anyone tell me why my life of the party achievement isn't unlocking I play in a party every night and it's stuck on 90%

[drowsy vector]

The final round in world tour is such a big waste of time. You either get 20k, or spend another ten minutes in game for no benefit at all

[hollow badger]

nerf stun gun, it got massive range and when you get shot by it you almost always die

[dim tangle]

[upper kettle]

How do I cop a ranked suspension when the game fails to load in? What a joke.

[jovial viper]

Buff M/H guns pls

[wraith igloo]

I would bet actual money the amount of suspensions handed out to innocent players is as high or higher than to players that actually did something wrong.

[upper citrus]

Not M but H yes

[vague meteor]

what point is there when you revive someone with no ammo?

[upper kettle]

Ammo management is important in most shooters, and the finals is fairly lenient with ammo.

[earnest sierra]

H only maybe buff the damage of lewis and M60 by 1 or 2 or revert the recoil

[quick coyote]

Heavy's weapons are kinda fine. Recoil is inconvenient because for the some reason embark thinks making the weapons feel bad = balance. M60 could use something at most.

[wicked pond]

i really lack the option to try out a skin in the practice range to test it and to see if i would like it. i also would like a button to refund a skin lets say i have 3 tickets. when i refund a skin i use one ticket and one ticket regenerates after about 3 months and to refund a skin you have to do it before 24 hours pass after the purchase. (pls embark add this into the game)

[dense marten]

the cheater situation is getting out of hand, as per usual

[rough herald]

MORE AIMATION PACK

@dusky apex ah yes, if you want to play with your friend you will get ban, good idea 👍
@worn ravine in the menu that you use to change your loadout, hover over your weapon and then click customize, you should be in the skin tap and there's a bunch of bottom above, click animation. you should know the rest

[dusky apex]

ban 3 stacks from quickcash least casual experience getting teamed on :/

[worn ravine]

how to turn off weapon animations shuffle? pisses me tf off cuz when i select a certain animation i do mean it😭 like why else did i buy it for

[magic marten]

how is no one talking about the model 87 that gun is insane

[storm inlet]

can the claw stop grabbing through walls ?

[olive adder]

where? where is ranked cashout?

[shell pond]

Infinite loading screen on PS5 too after the patch......

[old tartan]

my friend is trying to join games on xbox but each time he tries to join he gets an error code, the recent update fixed the crossplay party's but now he cannot even join a game by himself without getting an error

[merry creek]

Done until crossplay is fixed, sick of PC lobbies, and can't find games with crossplay off.

[topaz seal]

the game has clearly started (I heard the round start) but I am stuck in the loading screen (yes the icon on top left is moving)
When is this going to be fixed?

[unique steeple]

Add a reload to throwing knives

[red echo]

still a bug teamate's body cant be found , sometimes feels like the devs dont play neither care about the game

and many afks in every game and also there is a bug which lets you leave the game join another one and going unpunished and yet to be fixed

[mellow geyser]

Terminal Attack: you suck!

[fluid crater]

Whoever decided there needed to be a challenge for destroying the environment should get a nice kick in the family jewels. I've had several matches in a row where 1 or more players, whether on my team or the other, essentially afks by just playing a heavy with the sledge and running around destroying the environment not helping at all. Happens way too often in Power Shift especially.

[rough herald]

red barrel brecking a wall also count

[dry wraith]

The hook needs to be reworked, or the sledgehammer needs some adjustments. The combination of these two is overpowered. The huge hook range and the long stun after being hooked give you a free kill against any class (except the heavy)

[violet elbow]

no Medium runs the FCAR over the AKM because it has no redeeming qualities and is just a downgrade to the AKM after the Nerfs it got, it has no identity of its own.

TKs are braindead easy to use, they are way too spamable and promote an absolutely stupid playstyle that doesnt fit light at all, they deserve to be nuked

Winch Claw is absurdly toxic and shouldve never been created, just feels like instead of creative ideas yall took something from overwatch (roadhog hook) and ported it into this game, without thinking of the environment that this kind of ability is balanced around in overwatch at all.

XP-54 Screenshake bug unfortunately still not fixed 5+ weeks into the season, also only happens on PC, but other massive bugs also havent been fixed, infinite cloak bug from CLOSED BETA is still a thing.

Terminal attack is a terrible gamemode and was nothing but wasted resources that couldve gone into doing any kind of change to cashout, cashout got nothing since open beta but neglect, while TA has gotten more changes this season alone.
Its a terrible ranked mode, anti fun and anti the finals and shouldve been an LTM at max, its not even worth the permanent mode spot that power shift got.

also as a light main, stun gun is still unfun to fight, remove the screenshake on aiming with it so you can actually beam a light after getting stunned, these mfs spamming stun every fight (cuz its on a 15s cooldown for some reason) make casuals quit and its not fun to play against.

[summer citrus]

So tired of every matches i played, doing the highest damage wtih the worst teammates, embark works for youtr team balance please

[pale fossil]

Buff the Lewis gun please. Flamethrower at this point out ttks Lewis. And why the recoil change for Lewis when Lewis already had terrible recoil.

[violet elbow]

they need to just fix the recoil, whats the point of the LMGs when neither work past 25m, its why every heavy is on SA12 again

[heavy citrus]

+1

[spare estuary]

I would like to suggest an enhancement to the grapple feature. Currently, the grapple mechanism could be improved by allowing players to hang from objects while using it, similar to a grapple gun. This would increase the functionality and usability of the grapple feature, making it a more appealing option for players. As it stands, the grapple is underutilized, and this addition could significantly enhance gameplay.

[timid pumice]

For the next update I really want new gamemodes and crazier gameshow events

[glacial sierra]

spawn camping ruins this game, like it ruins every FPS. the difference is other FPS devs do something about it.

[formal sphinx]

Connection timer. Please

[quick coyote]

Winch claw is such a bad thing. Who did this. Fire them. I'm serious. They're devoid of creativity. Ya'll said, paraphrasing, "we didn't want to make an FPS originally, unless we could do something unique and special" >>> The unique and special: Cloak, stun, winch

[cerulean birch]

winch claw is amazing, devs dont change it (for reference im a light main who has never used winch once but ik its super fun and its not an instant win)

[teal bear]

Also light main but I've been branching out to other classes recently. From my view it feels like every class has something broken/op about them and I'm totally fine with that. Instead of nerfing stuff I want to see buffs to other weapons.

[violet elbow]

its fine against light, its not against medium cuz they have no meaningful counterplay

[upper citrus]

Winch claw needs a spin up

[hasty cliff]

lights after getting winched and then immediately deleted by the ks-23 and SA12 despite dashing away and having started at full health looking at this msg 👀

[vernal swallow]

heavy mains looking at this message while waiting to respawn because a light with a knife 10 feet in front of them got a backstab by spinning in a circle 👀

[dense marlin]

Remove hidden deadzone and add outer deadzone slider in controller settings

[marble creek]

There are a few cheezy abilities/weapons that I'd tune a bit

Starting with the winch claw. I don't really know why it needs to stun on grab, or grab people in general, but if we were to continue this route, make it to where the person who got grabbed can quick melee to break free, giving them some hope of not dying

Next, fix the melee hitboxes... they seem ridiculously large. I'm a light, sprinting away from a heavy, why is he still able to hit me when I've outpaced him so much

Next is the throwing knives... I would prefer a rework over nerfs. I'd want the primary fire to be a single knife thrown at a time, meanwhile the secondary can remain the same. Would also like if they had ammo, so it needs a short reload after using 15 or so of them.

And I still believe that a longer cooldown on evasive dashes would make them a much more high risk high reward option then they are now, which is quite spammable and annoying

Can someone explain how someone else in your party causes Matchmaking to be Cancelled? There is not direct cancel interface if you are not in charge of a party.

[stuck forum]

Anyone know how I could get a higher chance of a dev seeing a suggestion? The game DESPERATELY needs ads, and a form of an ARG like what shadow of the colossus did 20 years ago would be strange, attention-grabbing, and most importantly, would get people talking.

[hybrid dock]

Once both cash boxes are in for world tour a shield wall needs to go up in the center of the map to prevent third and fourth partying. I’m absolutely fed up with my team not being able to get a single point capped because two teams always fall down on our point. Every. Single. Game. The other team gets an uncontested cash out, and we get a warzone and it’s completely ruining the experience for everyone. The players who want to play team death match should be given that game mode separate from the rest of the modes.

buff fcar damage up to 24 please so we actually have a reason to use it over the AKM, currently its just a worse sidegrade to the AKM with no real redeeming qualities

my idea:
damage to 24
range to 60%
slightly clean up the recoil pattern, make bullets 3-6 have less horizontal kick, just feels clunky to use

Day 121 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

Usually I have my own shxt to post but this is real AF.

A team with 3 heals and 3 defibs are still unbeatable of they have moderately good aim.

Pluss their ability to shut down a team BEFORE they get to an objective PLUS fortifications by time the wounded engaging team gets to the objective is crazy.

Maybe being able to deal with this is the difference between the best and the worst players but for me personally I'm already down to 50 HP from an FCAR by time I get into position then BOOM. Random mine.

Idk. maybe MMM is balanced.

Fighting a 6v3 while they can all heal each other feels like a disadvantage to me. Idk.

[violet elbow]

Glitch grenades exist, stun gun exists

this is a skill issue

This game is so fucked because of cod brain players, when there is a single cashout at a time, entire lobby is fucked. From that point onward everyone plays on a single cashout and it is a free for all 3rd party nightmare and it is frustrating as shit. Change the mechanics to allow breaking of this loop

People just don't know it.

I think it would be funny af if we announced a "free weekend" for this game even though it's already free.

(As an Uber drive istg every time I tell someone about this game they ask "how much is it?" 🙄🙄🙄)

Going "free to play" and advertising it would be a funny way to get people looking again.

I wonder if that's illegal or something lol.

The newest official art with the bow goes hard af cheff kiss. Slap a "free-to-play" text in that bitch and market it.

[wintry trout]

ah yes let's try really hard to advertise when the game is in the worst state it's been in since alpha
how many times do they have to get kicked for inactivity because they don't load into the match before they leave and never look back

[quick coyote]

Terminal Attack has to be the worst game mode in THE FINALS. How can a RANKED MODE only about how many contestants are alive and nothing else continue without a teammate? Please remove Terminal Attack from the game.

[upper citrus]

Tbh I think the choice between the AKM and Fcar is great rn. Trading 11 bullets for some extra range is completely fine and I don’t really think anything else needs buffs. I see the fcar in high elo a lot and I still did at the end of S2 when it was cashout. You just don’t see it now in WT because WT is casual and the AKM is much easier

[limpid tundra]

remove rpg/reduce damage in ranked ta, add slight explosion delay for explosive mines so you can dodge it with dash

so we win +200 points in every single game, and lose - 1000 points in one game, how the hell this rank system works man !! win against rubies win nothing !!!

it has a higher headshot multiplier no? also here are some reasons to use it over akm

• more predicable recoil
• red dot sight (ik some ppl who refuse to use iron sights idk why dont ask me)
• more range
  also the difference between ttks on that chart is so minimal like wtf

[sacred siren]

Might be nice to add a less... "spammy" feedback channel:

• 24h slow mode (prevents spam and arguments)
• player voting mechanism on posts (lets the playerbase show their support/distaste for certain proposals)
• would be cool if the top N posts per week get dev responses -- shows that player feedback is seriously being considered and that general player sentiment is getting through to dev team
• promotion of posts that are specific, realistic, and actually interesting ideas
• discouragement of posts that are extremely general, unspecific, or just whining and complaining.
• harsher mutes/punishments (1 week -> 2 week -> 4 week mutes from the channel, increasing severity for repeat offenders) to ensure that its actually feedback / legitimate ideas
• prevent repeat posts within the same week (so people with the same idea / concept can find and support, rather than make duplicate posts about the same issue)
• everyone can vote, but only people with "X role"+ can make posts (prevents spambots etc.)
  (not replacing this channel, it can still exist, but currently theres just so much malding, complaining, and arguments that legitmate ideas about balancing and game modes are often submerged underneath the "nerf heavy" or "nerf light" complaints, never to see the light of day)

[daring fossil]

I mean, you know there's a loading bug, everyone in the discord knows about it. why are you sitting in the match out of window long enough to get kicked for inactivity? I watch youtube and shit while im loading matches and I always am checking the game to make sure Im not stuck in the loading screen and I alt f4 immediately as soon as I hear the crowd yelling.

@wintry trout If it takes less time to get kicked than it does to relaunch the game, seems like you need faster drives.

The patch notes said they fixed 1 single instance of this bug, not every cause. If you want to help them, send them your player name, the match ID and the approx time in your timezone that it happened. debugging isn't as easy as you seem to think it is.

[wintry trout]

I’m not sitting out of window. I’m sitting there waiting for it to kick me because it takes less time than relaunching the game. I’m not a pleb with one monitor. I have four, like any reasonable person.
Of course we all know about the loading bug. Because the patch notes claimed they fixed it. Which was false.

[topaz ledge]

it sounds like you haven't used both a bunch, no offense

i used to main fcar back when it had 25 damage, it felt like a high risk high reward option with a small error margin from the small magazine

the whole trade off was mainly magsize for damage, everything else was irrelevant

the difference in recoil is minimal
ig yea the red dot is easier to use but the ak irons are pretty easy to get used to after a while

the range is also pretty irrelevant because most engagements are close to mid range, fcar has a slightly better time lasering at long mid range but it can still be done with ak

the ttk is only minimal in data because it doesn't account for actual combat

after the nerf, the akm is objectively better to use than the fcar, it has 1.5 times the magsize of fcar, pretty equal damage and hs multi, and the recoil isn't that much worse

[lime lichen]

buff dual blades

[shadow glacier]

Man.. Terminal attack as ranked is a joke, not only is it very unbalanced between classes, always someone who dc's between or before it starts and you're left with 4 or less people for the rest of the game, there's balance issues between attackers and defenders, win one game and you get so little compared to losing one game when meeting higher ranked even.... Bring back Tournament as ranked!!!!!

[river horizon]

i belive change step on TA for diamond inn 40k... is a good meta for all player...most players stay at 30k-43k

there is an in-match report, you can also report when the match ends using the button beside their name on the scoreboard OR from the social/recent menu on the main menu regardless of if they left the round or not.

@shadow glacier the patch notes said it fixed a single cause of the bug, they are working on it.

[patent wind]

objectively is just not true. fcar deals more damage and even with a recoil nerf hitting every shot is possible. looking at the wiki fcars only downside is less ammo.

akm is better if you cant hit your shots fine, but fcar is still better objectively

(also for the record fcar AND akm are my most leveled guns)

daily reminder that the winch claw is more toxic than season 1 stun gun and should have never been put in the game. "since heavies are slow, lets give them the ability to grab people from 18 meters away so I can then one-shot them with a hammer" Heavy is such a noob oriented class and the winch just confirms it. being good with sledge actually took map knowledge, game sense, positioning and skill. Now any scrub can get 20 kills a match with sledge just running out in the open.

[elder folio]

Yeah akm is easier to use and that's about it honestly. Plus the more bullets means you get more in fight capability, for like suppression and just getting multiple kills (without reload) etc

Did u check ur career level rewards? That might be it. I had this problem too for a while till I got new rewards

[unique steeple]

Extend the claw range some more i feel like it's not OP enough

[topaz ledge]

i just checked the community wiki and the numbers right now are minimally close(like one bullet close), also comparing OBJECTIVE objective facts when talking about something so nuanced as combat effectiveness doesn't really make sense. Yes, you can use facts to create theoreticals: The fcar is better than the akm when... The thing is, the stats in the wiki and any other data collector are done in controlled environments where things are ideal. I'm not demeriting your opinion. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense in comparison to my experience of hundreds of hours on both guns when I climbed to plat+ S2. And for the record, they're my most leveled guns as well. I don't notice huge differences in recoil and ttk because I've gotten used to both guns where I can generally perform around the same with both. However, for me, the damage of the two have the nearly the same effect when hitting headshots and in ttk. Which is why the Akm feels better with a larger magazine

also akm does more dps

[gritty owl]

i generally agree, except for the top posts/week and promotion of posts (except for concepts/ideas for new stuff). the thing with feedback is its usually only people speaking up about the stuff they don't like, find OP, or whatever. that gives a skewed view or reality. promoting those posts makes it worse probably.

[glossy scaffold]

Save the game

[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

[echo urchin]

The recoil on the FCAR is asinine. Same with the Lewis. The M60 needs a damage buff. The ks32 needs its rate of fire increased.

[quartz shell]

If you want to return to cashout in a competitive mode you should remove the third party and balance the heavy stack!!!
A proposal I give is that for each duplicate class, those who use that class will have 15% to 20% of their life or damage removed.

[wet herald]

Winch claw really should be changed.

When a player has been hit by it, it should be canceled If the player collides with an object in the environment. The hook shouldn't be able to pull players through walls, stairs, etc.

Most of the deaths I have because of it should be because of poor positioning, not being pulled through a building/cover

[crystal umbra]

✨FREE IDEA: "Company System"✨ Day 36

"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. The Finals is a team game.)

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 (i.e. companies with the most "fame" or money cashed out) are showed on the World Tour leaderboard.
There we can select their names and the top players should be able to Type out their various handles like their Twitch, YouTube, and other socials or streaming platforms.

✨((MAKE YOUR CONTESTANTS STARS))✨
Appeal to human nature and give us something to talk about amongst ourselves. Give us something to brag about.

You remember back when MLG E-Sports was a thing? Remember that vibe?
"Oh shxt, that's Oscar 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 shout outs.

Thanks for your consideration 🚀

it would be awesome if we could talk to the enemy team on the ending screen

[naive herald]

Don't make me play against top 500 players when I'm gold in ranked TA. Especially 3 of them that are double my elo

[delicate yoke]

Winch claw needs a rework: it should still interrupt specializations, but not primary weapon or gadget usage; enemies should still be able to attack you while you pull them in. Instead of stunning, the winch claw should simply retract quicker, so it's more instant and to justify the moment of vulnerability when initially sending out the claw. I think this simple solution would make the winch claw more balanced against all classes.

[dry kiln]

"Bank It" game mode desperately needs team wipes reinstated. Without team wipes, cash boxes are constantly camped by teams, reducing competitive integrity. The absence of team wipes, despite shorter respawn times, results in chaotic gameplay with everyone active simultaneously. This diminishes strategic depth and player engagement and defeats the purpose of revives, as players are immediately overwhelmed by the continuous presence of opponents.

Previously, team wipes encouraged dynamic, strategic battles at cashouts, where teams collaborated to prevent opponents from banking their coins. Reinstating team wipes would revive this crucial element, making gameplay more fluid and exciting. The current setup, without team wipes, is static and predictable, stripping away the game's essential tactical challenges. To restore "Bank It's" appeal, team wipes must be brought back.

[sacred siren]

yea, thats why I specifically said that those types of posts should be discouraged.

• promotion of posts that are specific, realistic, and actually interesting ideas
• discouragement of posts that are extremely general, unspecific, or just whining and complaining.

patch note? with balance change in them?

[echo urchin]

Play cashout and you get what you’re talking about. Just go play cashout.

Before these changes, Bank it was just a mediocre version of cashout and TDM. Now it’s a The Finals version of kill confirmed. A lot of people wanted a TDM and now they have it. How it is now, gives people a space where they can focus on loudouts and combat, and dont feel a fuck ton of pressure to avoid a team wipe or whatever. Changing it to a genuinely casual mode was a genius idea and it should stay that way. The changes were good for the games player base and accessibility.

Slowmode is enabled so I’ll also take this moment to say that people bitching about third partying or any sort of spontaneous dynamism in cashout are boring. Some of us enjoy having to think on the fly and play whatever cards get dealt. If you start getting third parties and you can tell you’re gunna lose, retreat and go for the other cashout, or wait for the two teams to kill each other and then jump back in. Use your brain, get creative.

Stop trying to turn cashout into every other basic mode in every other game.

[marsh raptor]

Agreed

[frosty violet]

turret should go down when the player dies. like every other video game.

[rough storm]

#👂┇game-feedback Remove snipers from Terminal attack completely cuz it's just rediculous or at least make it optional to bann a weapon every match. 4/5 players think the same. Ranked became a sniper match and it does not fit this game at all.

[civic aspen]

ban snipers on kyoto map, please, its impossible to get out of spawn

[eternal wigeon]

Toxic? Definitely. More than S1 Stun Gun? No. (doesn't excuse the winch's design, it's still toxic as hell)

[quick coyote]

Your game has too many weapons that rely on single shots for your hit detection to be such a fucking problem.

[daring fossil]

I disagree, I for the most part never had issues with killing lights opening every fight with a stun in season 1, it was annoying AF but not nearly as annoying as the winch.

[hybrid crystal]

Add a mirror to practice range so I can look at my drip 💯 :3

power shift will continue to SUCK until they realize that a payload mode needs to be pusher vs defender, with equal spawns and spawn protection, not this half-thought BS

It’s really annoying how many reasonable or good ideas in this channel get drowned out by the constant whiny, entitled shrieking.

CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GAME THAT DOESN’T WORK FOR MY PARTICULAR TASTES OR PLAY-STYLE!

WINCH CLAW

There needs to be desperate changes to this thing immediately, i dont know what you guys are thinking giving something like this to the most-health class in the game, im tired of getting drug through obstacles, getting flamethrowered, sledgehammered, etc with nothing i can do against it because there is no counterplay as a medium when grabbed, just instant death, remove the CC ability from it and rework it or take it out the game for good, it is unbalanced as much as heavy already is with the sheer amount heavy does, do something please.

[violet elbow]

are we ever not gonna be delusional about this spec and actually nerf it or nah?

[burnt horizon]

I think the mgl32 really needs an improvement in the timing of the explosion after banking off an object. It’s too long. I actually love using the thing just because it’s chaotic and can be rewarding. But omg it travels so far after banking off a surface. It is very limiting on how you can use it.

[trim ginkgo]

Why is all the Lights weapon So Op like come on, stop making them so Op when they're already faster then other builds I'm keeping real Lights will be the Down fall of This game

[winged glacier]

make the sniper breach loading, 3-4ish second reload each time

[eager ivy]

Honestly agree with ya brother all classes should be balanced pretty well, but mediums are just there tbh kinda feels underwelming to play on everything , heavys u either are good at the skill weapons which are still quite bad or lose alot with lmgs. Worst class i think other that his rpg that should be a tool other than a free kill and chain that needs to be tweaked ,but other than that he's trash tbh ,and lights which have the strongest weapons in the game by far and still out range alot of other weapons it shouldn't along with the best gadgets as well .Light in my opinion is way too strong this season and need be changed. now watch all the lights say i'm wrong lol

[thorn kelp]

The downfall of @trim ginkgo

[tribal spoke]

"Since there’s been many changes to melee recently, we believe the viability of melee has been increased and that exploits shouldn’t be needed to compete, but we’ll continue to monitor how the meta develops during Season 3 and will be listening closely to your feedback!" - S3 patch notes. Its clear the devs think melee weapons are in a good spot since the aim-assist changes, Id disagree, other than perhaps the sledgehammer

[jagged vector]

The search and destroy game mode is all Lights, can yall not understand how over powered lights are?

[rough herald]

patch note with balance change in them, also fire the balance team for slacking the past month

[vivid saffron]

I'm sure there is nothing to the massive influx of sword dash lights in every lobby and winching sledges. The fact that you don't need to be any where near these weapons to get damaged by them is just big brain embark bullshit. The counters to melee is gaining distance--which invisibility, dashing and winching negate is again some of the dumbest game design I've seen. The season has been balancing hell and it seems like the entirety of Embark on of those 9 week European vacation.

[steady sand]

Balance L plz

[jagged vector]

Make that time between going invis longer

[stuck horizon]

You’ve allowed lights to ruin your game. The dps and attack power and non stop action/ attack action of them is incredible. They are good at any range. Balance your melee too. How the f do you expect me to Overpower a sword light with dual swords when they take no breath and there is no parry/repost/ deflect and stun system. Fix the issues bro! I have loved your game for 350 hours now but you are currently busted!

[real scroll]

just played against a cheater who turned on wallhacks mid game because they were losing 4-0. Please do something about this, it was so obvious because the guy had 1 kill through 4 rounds then got 18 kills by the end of the game. He knew exactly where I was even if I was on a very out of the way flank that no one would check (and he didn't at the beginning when he wasn't cheating), and he was prefiring with a sniper (which is kind of ridiculous). This is sad to see because cheaters just ruin competitive especially when they can run around unchecked.

[young smelt]

He locked in…

[haughty bay]

Reduce number of dashes for light ability to 2

[ancient finch]

i've played a lot of games over the years and i've seen everything from devs re: game balance. the balancing in this game is abysmal. i don't think i've seen a single meta improvement from MMH actually. that's impressive because that meta was awful! now, for example, i shouldn't be able to use a sniper more effectively than an FCAR or LMG in CQB. good luck hitting me once as i fly around you!

i genuinely think an LLM could balance the game better. have you guys tried consulting chatGPT?

[lusty fractal]

I have a video of a hacker shooting through shields... we played 3-4 hackers tonight.

[tribal spoke]

Buff dual blades they suck

[worldly radish]

I don't even know what is going on with this game anymore. Had a match of Terminal Attack where me and my friend who are lvl 50+ get matched with a lvl 1, 2, and 3 players. And obviously, they're pretty bad teammates, because they're new. But I'm not new, so why am I getting matched with them? Then we switch to power shift, and I kid you not, THREE matches in a row, constant issues with shots not registering, players feeling unkillable while I somehow get one or two tapped by lights as a medium. And at the end of every single match (four matches in power shift in total), the lowest lvl player on our team somehow has the highest combat score on the team despite not doing anything notable while the higher lvl teammates are playing aggresively and using the different abilities and gadgets as well as possible. Again, I don't know how to properly diagnose these issues, but it seems to me like something in the game just makes it impossible to reach a certain level of performance. Seems like if we win one match, the next one is literally impossible to win no matter how well the team works together. Very frustrating. This game used to be extremely fun and it feels like the longer it's out, the more it caters to timmy-no-thumbs, or the kids who literally do nothing but play this one game all day.

[wheat torrent]

feels the same way. i play only solo q and anytime i win 1 or 2 games in a row. the next set of games will be unwinnable by placing me with low levels who are clearly new to the game. high chance you are facing smurfs/cheaters too

The fact unranked players can queue with ruby players to boost their rank is insane.

Pretty much all the "balance problems" are hackers... Except throwing knives. They are ridiculous regardless.

[glacial sierra]

can we get an estimate for world tour connection rate so i know whether to change regions (or which region to change to) before i try and join a game?

that or...make it auto-switch after 30sec if no game found, as i've suggested b4.

[graceful needle]

Right now, from the players end? I see two problems:

• The hack rate is off the charts right now. I am seeing everything from AimBot to BotFind being used. I am surprised that Nexon's anti-chest doesn't pick those up.
• Folks logging off before a match ends. This isn't the same as the "UE5 Discovery errors, as it is blatantly obvious that folks are trying to prevent having any losses on their records. This is the most "Blue Falcon " BS I see on this game. Something should be done, like XP SUSPENSIONS or something.

[sharp briar]

Amen brotha, or sista. Lights have become rediculous. So much so that I consider the class an accessibility option. The evasive dash is too overpowered when in tandem with the grossly fast ttk of most of the class’ weapons. I don’t play the class, because all I can think about is how miserable my opponents must feel when I decimate them. I’ve played a few games with light and they were the easiest games of my life. Please do something

[sturdy abyss]

Can we get a tad more mine xp please and thank you. 133 xp a match when I need 130k is to much

[raw moss]

Have to be the bearer of bad news but winch bug (for light sword at least) still exists. I was holding lunge, got winched, and when I respawned I had a delay to every input, couldn’t use my specialization or interact or use anything on the emote wheel. Please do some more digging into this.

[errant moth]

Something seriously needs to be done about lights, there’s no way a light can dropped an entire heavy’s hp with just an mp5 and I can barely do anything to fight it, the moment I start any fight with a light I’m already half hp, there’s no need for light to be doing all this, heavies are pretty much becoming more and more useless

[obsidian prism]

balancе changеs whеn?? (stop thе lеwis/ak/xp mеta ffs)

[regal salmon]

I really think Lights are starting to ruin the game. All my group think so too.

They're the fastest class, with the smallest hitbox, fastest TTK, fastest regen, and most evasive skills. All for less health, which hardly matters if you can't hit them, and they can kill you just as quickly as you can them anyway.

They can also uniquely disable your abilities and lock you in place, and now even have excellent destruction with the Thermal Bore. Fuck it! Why not give Heavies invisibility while you're at it?

But the worst aspect of all this is it rewards the type of player (and playstyle) that is in opposition to everything interesting and fun about the game.

Lights never play the objective. They never stick with their teams. They're always the most toxic players in a lobby, and just turn everything into a tiresome and mindless TDM. They suck all the fucking joy out of a match when they hit critical numbers.

To the point that it can feel like playing Domination on CoD where you're the only person trying to cap an objective while the rest of the lobby mindlessly kill farms you for being stupid enough to play the game as intended. It makes you feel like an idiot who's just wasting their time.

STOP PANDERING TO THESE TYPES OF PLAYERS. If I wanted to experience this bullshit, i'd go back to CoD.

Light needs serious nerfs for the health of the game, and it needs them like last month.

Yes, I understand they were underrepresented in Ranked in S2. But that had nothing to do with the class. It was because the people playing it weren't interested in teamwork, so were getting demolished by people who were. The issue was the playertype, not the class.

What the buffs have done is create a class that is so strong that it can dominate games without the help of teammates in a team-focused game.

It's an absolutely awful state of affairs. And hasn't just ruined Ranked, but made all the other downstream modes horrible too.

[drifting elk]

Well said. Damn good points. cough cough give mediums recon grenade and sniper back

[quick coyote]

specify? How are all lights' weapons* overpowered?

[sudden tangle]

Embark be like:

"We just launched our game, s1 and s2 showed great potential but there were a few glaring, easily fixable mistakes, especially with ranked cashout. What should we do with s3?"

Option a)
Work on fixing those mistakes, release s3 and provide active live service to amend any minor discrepancies in our fixes.

Option b)
Totally buttfu*k ranked players by removing ranked from the game and adding a half baked experimental mode as the only alternative where Lights thrive in so people think we fixed the balance changes by forcing a light meta and then call it a day and have 90% of the team holiday on Ibiza and only release empty patches in s3 that don't mention any of the massive blunders that embark made. No balance, no content, no apologies, no sorrow for ruining an amazing game.

Fking guess what option was chosen.

IF there is still a playerbase by s4, you better fking make s4 the best season ever. Fking doubt it though, with how useless and disappointing embark has acted in s3.

[atomic summit]

mby put reputation rank in this game if you got shit reputation rank you get less xp from Challenges and matches. If you got greate reputation you get a few % extra xp. And if you are in the middle you get standard xp. Ofc im talking about BPxp
(I just think it would make more stay and play full matches insted of leaveing mid game)

[modest dew]

i dont think this is controversional but if sword heavy swing can hit multiple people at one, so should the others (dagger and sledgehammer), dont pick your favorite melee weapon and give it special treatment, make sledgehammer a really good close range weapon and for dagger, i have never seen one person ever complain about dagger, let a lone a 1 in a million chance of having two people sitting side by side while not knowing youre there so you can backstab multiple people, just give dagger something to where its not inconsistent and clunky.

[tepid blaze]

Actually important suggestion

We need a middle click throw for the finals

Im tired of only being able to use a full throw or a short throw

[young flare]

Bro the flamethrower needs to be nerfed

[smoky gust]

it was a bug that honestly should have been kept around
sledge and dagger by themselves were not all that good, multi hit was a very situational but important feature that could elevate them slightly and make them shine every so often

ive never seen anyone complain about their multi hit but when it was removed a bunch of people spoke up

every now and again i get into a situation where it would have saved the game, i try to make a play just to remember "oh yeah, thats gone"
it just rubs salt in the wound while already using a slighty underpowered weapon

[modest dew]

Exactly, it was a very situational tool that made the sledgehammer a very useful weapon and not something to just ignore for the whole game, and no offence but who even uses dagger that often? Why nerf one of the least used weapons in the game in one of the most situational moments that you could ever get, it makes zero sense to me.

[quick coyote]

You let the class that dies in less than a second get in melee range and couldn't kill him, seems fair to me 🤷

[paper oak]

buff medium weapons lights have it easy

[clever hawk]

Winch Claw feels amazing to use but can feel terrible to play against because it can so easily become an inevitable and inescapable death, especially for L/M classes.

WC should not be a free effective oneshot, like old Roadhog. It should be a displacement tool - for players and objects - that aids CQB but doesn’t grant it excessive power.

The best way to nerf its effectiveness against players without harming its object utility would be to prevent it from pulling players any closer than, say, 8-10m. This would give winched players the space and opportunity to more effectively fight back or flee without instantly suffering extreme damage.

It would remove the often inescapable melee/flamer death, reduce the effectiveness of the easy and extreme SA12 bursting, and make it much harder to land the final blow with the KS23. All of which are the most oppressive and frustrating elements for opposing players.

The commonly suggested nerf of reducing its maximum range would not address these oppressive aspects and would hurt its utility when it comes to objects such as cashouts, revive totems, etc.

The other common suggestion of a cast animation would also not address the oneshots and would punish the user excessively given it already takes ~1s to use, resulting in majorly negative value upon a miss. It would also change the fairly even Dash matchup into a hard counter.

This change would also allow Mesh Shield to be of some use to the winched player given some distance would be maintained between the two players, as opposed to the current iteration which is simply a hard counter.

[short crater]

Embark Need to nerf the sniper. It has no bulletdrop and massive hitscan. I know it‘s fun to use but it is too op. When you noscope the bullet

[regal salmon]

I used to play Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

They released a meta-wrecking character the day before Thanksgiving, then everyone went on holiday for a week.

Then claimed they didn't have enough time before Christmas to fix it, before everyone went on holiday again for two weeks.

It was eventually 3 months before they fixed it. By which point they'd lost a ton of their playerbase. My whole group quit and never came back.

It's insane in the days of live service games that companies think closing down the entire studio for weeks at a time is a responsible thing to do. Especially when those holidays coincide with their players' holidays, so are peak times for the community.

Is it really that hard to just stagger holidays? Do airports shut down for 3 weeks in summer? Or hotels? Or hospitals? It's insane.

[winged belfry]

LOW GRAVITY IS THE WORST, PLEASE REMOVE IT.

[formal urchin]

skill issue

[livid trail]

Swords that block bullets? They're not lightsabers

[sharp briar]

Please nerf lights accuracy and/or create large damage falloff. On weapons like the xp54, it was meant so that a light would have to risk itself to get kills, but the evasive dash, and the inhumane ttk completely remove that element. It really doesent help that it is the hardest class to hit as well. I played light for a few games, and they were the easiest games of my life. It wasn’t fun though because all I could think about was how miserable I must have made the enemies who were pretty skilled in their own classes feel. Light needs a buff in some areas as well. I’m not saying to make the class worse than it is, but it is honestly too powerful in its current state. So here are some suggestions.

• remove the stun gun’s ability to stop a CASHOUT steal.
• lower the general accuracy of all guns but the bow and the sniper.
• massively lower the headshot damage on the throwing knives.
• lower the movement speed, recharge speed, and range of the evasive dash.
• increase the classes running speed by 10 percent
• increase the duration of the recon grenades scan
• increase the vertical effectiveness of the evasive dash

Love you embark, and I appreciate that light is hard to balance.

[frosty ingot]

Hold triangle - to refuse being revived. I’m trying to switch my class

[coarse dew]

Cloak

• reduce activation cost to 20% or make it pre nerf visibility and keep current activation cost

Grapple

• add another charge and increase cooldown by 5 sec
• After using a grapple, it is unavailable for 3 secs before 2nd charge can be used

Demat

• add extra charge

Heal beam

• reduce the ability to stack heal beams for faster regen or at least nerf the heal rate

Turret

• cooldown starts once the turret is broken, not placed
• going farther than 50m from the turret despawns it and starts the cooldown

Mesh

• add 100 hp to it
• reduce size slightly

Winch

• double cooldown
• reduce range to 16m

Charge and slam

• initial damage from 130 to 50
• each bump in the charge does 20 damage more than the last
• slam damage unchanged
• slam environment destruction scales with how high you drop from

[fluid merlin]

[wraith igloo]

Penalised for leaving a match again after teammates bail and dont reconnect. Game says no penalties apply for leaving because teammates already left, but receive a 10 min suspension anyway. Happens every time...

[thorn kelp]

Evasive Dash was and has been fine since s1, stun gun not stopping a cashout steal is a bad take tbh cuz now ur promoting it to be a free kill option for Lights rather than a utility tool

Lowering accuracy is a bad take

TK js need a slower RPM

Recon Grenades are fine, yk what happened to them after they got one slight buff

[chrome river]

These Embark ap*s nerfed the light melee literally to the ground already and made it unplayable in the competitive space.

Prior to the nerfs here is what we have to deal with :
Heavy counter to melee light

• Goo gun
• Mines
• having literal sh*t to nof hp to slash through
• Flamethrowers
• And if you miracurously managed to dodge all the teamnates and get close to him and managed to almost kill him of course he can just press a simple Q and instal kill you

Medium counter to melee light

• Jumpad
• Mines that literally one shot you and you just put them in a corridor and it's over
• And they had the audacity to introduce a glitch trap that literally has no use other then countering melee light for the dashes that makes the light frankly a sitting duck

Light counter to melee light

• Having a dash
• A simple stun gun which unlike with weapons make you uanble to respond any way not that they removed the ability to move with dash again so it's an instant kill

Besides these, they also removed any mechanics from the sword like

1. Emote cancelling (which I agree with as it is an exploit)
2. Gadget swapping which is a hard skill expression and they are literal braindeads for removing it and adding more and more counters to other classes

We are talking about melee for f*ck sake we are bringing words into a gun game how can you be this mentally challenge to nerf it to the ground and introduce more and more counters

All that to say if you are stil lgetting killed by melee enough to come here and complain you are beyond saving and should just stick to playing the braindead heavy with charge n slam.

[sonic spoke]

I like "low gravity", bring back "dead go boom". Add "earthquake", stuff starts falling apart. or a wind event that makes it hard to move in a specific direction, that changes throughout the event.

[hybrid dock]

Absolutely fucking ridiculous that I can play three matches in a row with the same team without partying with them in world tour but the second I try and add one of them from the quick add they’re not in my recent players list fucking dog shit game. Like ????????? What’s the point of having a recently played with if I can’t even see the people I recently played with

[tribal spoke]

Absolutely not. It made playing melee unbearable

[outer abyss]

i liked dead go boom, it was pretty good overall, BUT the dead should explode after like 1 sec delay to make melee useful

[zealous mural]

just nerf the fucking lights. this is unplayable.

Daily request to fire whoever okayed the winch claw. You've turned this into a game of crutches and cheese. Its a circus game.

[worldly raptor]

bring back dead go boom but make it that players dont take damage, just destruction to their surroundings

[misty schooner]

I like it, with dash you can change direction

[sonic spoke]

I play heavy hammer... I like low gravity. And dead go boom.

[patent girder]

Dead go boom turned every sword dasher into an unstoppable kamikaze. Wasn’t fun for either side. Low gravity however is awesome for those who know how to use it. Flying all the way across the map with an angled jump pad is probably the most satisfying thing in this entire game.

[cosmic ocean]

Ngl. The delay between Xbox and other platforms almost made me take my time somewhere else. hopefully this the last of the massive issues where people can’t play the same game together.

[round wasp]

add the dash ability to riot shields so when holding right click and pressing left click you dash forward and possibly stun enemies or just deal damage

[rough herald]

hook really should not have a lingering stun

[lime lichen]

Tbh neither should Stun gun, stun just isn't fun to play against

[strange plover]

Just wondering when can we get 120 FPS mode on console? I noticed that during the warm up phase or whatever its called in TA there’s a brief time where my frames would double but the second the round starts its back to 60 or whatever this game runs at. Would it not be feasible considering all the things that have to render along with building destruction? Just curious lol

[deep summit]

-winch no longers gives a guaranteed hit, you can die before shooting after a winch. Making the ability useless
-throwing knives too op, they need a reload even if its short
-DMA users are still running rampant, get a better anti cheat
-Ks is just reload simulator
-model is stronger than the KS and isnt hit scan :/
-Sledgehammer regular swing = running speed (too op) If I cannot run backwards with a shotgun (which would also give momentum backward due to shooting) then its too op
-Team stacking shouldn't exist if you solo queue, not fair going up premade top 100 team :/

pretty bad game cuz devs dont wanna balance

[raw moss]

Just make it so that people can act while winched, sans specialization

[silk imp]

i’d highly suggest a 6v6 team deathmatch, i know its basic and unoriginal, but u would be able to invite 6 of ur friends in a party, just a chill simple mode

[smoky gust]

the first light missed a bunch of shots at the start
the other one couldn't even attack you because you stayed at range (wp on your part)

i know they asked for light nerf in general, but i wouldn't be surprised if they just meant certain problematic weapons
which the lights in your video don't happen to be using

i cant recall the last time i saw anyone ask for xp-54 nerfs

[daring storm]

Day 300 of asking for a bow buff. Either buff the damage or make the arrows bigger, it is the defacto worst weapon in the game right now.

[vernal swallow]

every class dies in less than a second if a light is in melee range

@nothel.#0000

knife,
sword,
m11,
xp,
sniper,
db shotgun

(Idk why I can’t ping??)

[quick coyote]

what weapon?

• Dagger has a 1 second wind up and doesn't one shot heavies btw, only works on the back with a horrible hit registration.
• Sword has a 1 second downtime, so under PERFECT CONDITIONS you kill a medium in 2 seconds, enough time to kill light like 3 times in a row.

The rest literally can't kill medium or heavy in less than a second and lose every TTK check against other classes, the only outlier is DB one shotting lights. 🤷

@vernal swallow

[hybrid dock]

The model 1887 has been ghosting shots for the better part of three weeks and the devs literally don’t give a shit. I’ve ghosted shots on people standing 1 m in front of me. I’ve ghosted over half of the pellets from the shots on stationary heavies, completely in the bounds of my crosshair. I dropped 30 kills in world tour with the AK no problem. I absolutely struggle to get DAMAGE ON ENEMIES with the 1887 and it needs to be addressed in the next patch. The game is slowly turning into unplayable nonsense with invisible lights and cockroach heavies. What happens to prime season one? What happened to actually trying to balance the game?

[thorn kelp]

XP is what people would calp Light's most all around type of weapon which is arguably one of Light's best utility, I'm just saying there is a huge counter to Lights in general and people need to stop complaining otherwise this community will crumble

[quick coyote]

Cloak. Stun. RPG. Truly a revelation of gameplay.

[broken geyser]

Reduce the Lewis gun recoil. Lewis and m60 were just fine before. Revert the changes.

More body types should also be implemented without limiting the game to 2 body types - potentially slimmer, fitter or fatter but all with the same hitbox maybe.

Throwing knives definitely needs some form of reload.

[unreal salmon]

i am currently stuck in an infinite joining loop. plz fix

[knotty stag]

Weapon animations cant be unequipped. Jackpot juggle is distracting me lately but now its equipped with all the other reload animations and i cant unequip them.

revolver should 2-shot lights, they are not easy to hit with dash

[silk imp]

[unkempt bane]

[echo urchin]

The lights have no health, but they can shred through everyone so fast that it doesn’t matter. They also start recovering quickly. I’m sorry but lights shouldn’t be winning 1v1s, they should be finishing people off or getting a bunch of assists and disrupting teams, setting traps, moving the cash box etc.

Day 5: Reduce the number of dashes for light class ability to 2

[eager ivy]

Lights do be the strongest class they take no skill to play anymore tbh it's just run and gun and win every 1v1 face to face which shouldn't happen

[deep summit]

Anecdotal evidence means nothing, it has a very slow reload time, you’re reloading more than you are using the weapon. Model has a faster reload, higher damage and its hitscan.

[feral bloom]

FCAR THINGS NEEDED BACK
old recoil pattern and the first damage nerf if received not the one we have now

will give a clear difference between heavy AR and normal AR

ammo capacity should be balanced between damage output speed and animation (which im not sure off)

[brittle obsidian]

You guys learned your lesson with the FCAR, why is it so hard to transfer that knowledge to the lewis gun? it is still better than the m60, but has obnoxious recoil and a negligibly smaller mag. Give it back its old damage and gut its rate of fire, making it more punishing at close range but more reliable and deadly at medium/long range.

[limpid wadi]

I crashed loading in world tour, reload the game got a suspention, it then proceeded to happen again

[astral viper]

Snipers are too powerful in just about every capacity. Who is the smoothbrain mouthbreather who thought this was okay???

This is how it works in this game man. Their game is unstable so you get punished

[drifting pawn]

can we PLEASE get an increase to the reconnect time limit, especially when you're in a game with a full party (presumably FRIENDS that know you're coming back)?

[young smelt]

Yep. Played 1 ranked game today. Made it through like 6 round and crashed. Didn’t even bother to reconnect because this is ridiculous.

[young hamlet]

Suggestion:
Work with steelseries to allow auto clipping of cashout steals and kills

[echo urchin]

So, it sounds like you think it would be absurd for one class to not be able to win 1v1s. Then we agree that it is absurd for neither mediums nor heavies to be able to consistently win 1v1s against lights, all mitigating factors being even.

It’s no secret that the coinciding heavy and medium nerfs, and light buffs were an over correction resulting in lights being OP.

I play light just as often as I play heavy or medium. I’m not a dweeb that over-identifies with a particular class or playstyle. It just doesn’t make sense for one class to have the fastest movement, smallest hitbox, and most damage output to the point that they can melt through any opposition in 1.5 seconds or less, while it takes the enemy like 2-3 seconds. Oh, they also have faster regen, invisibility, wall hacks, and two range weapons that never have to reload…

That said, I don’t even think they need to nerf lights. Just fix the LMGs, FCAR, Dual Blades, and KS32.

[zealous mural]

if you have bots like that in your games - sure bud, but do you really need to show off that badly? you literally have enemies run into you and miss you all the time, and that's you greatest clip? pathetic

[rough storm]

@ every sniper in this game: ur cringe

[quick coyote]

defibs need to be nerfed bad

[cyan knoll]

honestly revolver buff would glue me to the game, its already great but i need more, cant take down heavys fast enough but its efficent againts the other two classes but ccant win any duels againts heavy shotty or flamethrowers half the time

[eager ivy]

I agree alot with you ,but light do need some nerfs such as the TF , recon nade, sniper body shot damage, and a slight dash change just to name some of the major ones. I do think the other class need to be buffed to help fit in its role more

[shell raven]

the 7500 damage with headshots is kind of excessive

[swift gust]

Season 1 light was the perfect one. Needed skill to play but now its just a braindead character. In Ranked TA Light is broken AF. 95% of (Platinum, Diamond & Ruby) are Light players. This itself says how unfair Light class is especially in TA. And the HP regen cap of 100 is another unfair thing where Light regains 66% of HP back, medium gets only 40% hp and heavy gets only 28% hp.

[thorn kelp]

This only applies to TA tho

[sleek flame]

Aim better, but in a sense you are right. Throwing knives need a huge damage nerf and the m11 needs a SLIGHT (emphasis on slight recoil nerf ) , because the reload speed is at 1.7 insanely fast for reengagement with multiple enemies or security in tight places to zip around with dash.

[crystal umbra]

I'm realizing I need to taper my expectations about player count since most popular FPS are all also playable on previous generations of consoles.

Folks might not have the money to get the newest consoles or something.

Sucks to be them

[patent wind]

daily reminder that the player count on pc is the same as last season, idk where "half the players left" came from

[echo urchin]

That might be the case but I don’t want them doing too much too quickly again and just inverting the imbalance. I think if heavies and mediums get their guns fixed, that’s a good place to test the balancing out and see where other problems actually are.

[eager ivy]

[rough herald]

and no cool down too, just reload

[quick coyote]

Where are you getting these numbers from? You do realize light losses all 1v1s right?

Like literally most of the people complaining about light don't realize the class is practically unchanged since S2 with the only addition being faster health regen for both light and medium alongside tons of nerfs to Cloak, it still losses 99% of fights with RPG and Charge being the cherry on top.

I recommend you check the TTK sheet before bringing up bogus numbers.

[keen lily]

medium is trash now what are you talking about

[minor venture]

They don’t need a damage nerf. They simply need some form of cooldown. Infinite ammo makes it as strong as it is now.

[rugged temple]

S3 changes
L:
LH1 nerf
93r nerf
Throwing knives nerf
SH1900 buff
V9S buff
Sonar grenade buff
Breach charge nerf(?)
Smoke grenade buff
Stun gun buff
Added bow, thermal bore and 3s regen buff
M:
CL40 nerf
Famas buff
Data reshaper buff (?)
Glitch trap buff
Guardian turret nerf
Added dual blades and 1s regen buff.
H :
Lewis nerf
M60 nerf
KS23 buff
Motion sensor buff
Goo gun buff
Added spear and winch claw

These changes don't really change much balance wise. The only reasons I can think of that people complain about light more is that there isn't a proper comp mode and that heavy doesn't have overpowered weapons anymore.

[dim pivot]

They are the most versatile and useful gadgets that are also easy to use. I'm pretty sure you also unlock them automatically when you start the game as well.

[vestal prairie]

Maybe because it's new but when people use the 3 new robot outfits outside of light it's hard to differentiate the class size but maybe it's me being dumb

[hybrid dock]

Just accidentally bought a bundle from the store because it was somebody’s stupid ass fucking idea to make the purchase button a single click rather than a click and hold now I have to make an appeal WITHOUT A RECEIPT and hope I get my coins back. Yeah my bad I wasn’t paying attention to where my fingers were, but like seriously? You guys expect me to take a screenshot every time I buy something so I can have “proof of purchase”? Actually stealing my money now

[neon rune]

That incredibly annoying winch claw bug that completely disables your specialization, ability to interact with anything, open doors, mantle, etc is back. It's infuriating when I lose just because the game decides I can't do literally anything but hipfire and use gadgets with a half a second delay to movement..

[stark notch]

I rather see a mp5 recoil nerf than the m11

[vernal swallow]

they changed defib now you have to unlock it but still it’s literally like the most useful medium equipment, like srsly a insta revive and there’s people wondering why it’s used a lot

[ornate idol]

I just got suspended from terminal attack because the game hung on the loading screen. This is bullshit.

[rough herald]

can't wait for the 6th nothing patch note in a row

[sleek lintel]

just dont click on buy

[smoky gust]

no item should be as widely used as defib and rpg
it discourages people from experimenting and punishes anyone that isn't fighting fire with fire

even if nerfing them messes with balance quit a bit, it probably wont be an issue
id be down for a meta overhaul, wouldn't be surprised if the others would welcome some fresh wind too
after the dust has settled we should be in a healthier, more balanced and fun state

[limpid light]

when do we get CNS merch

[cursive lotus]

More outfits. Including a wizard 🧙‍♂️

[grim patrol]

in TA. the attackers should still have to plant the key if they kill all the defenders, just like the defenders still have to defuse the terminal if the attackers plant it. If the attackers take too long because the defenders successfully stall long enough then that should be on them. This would somewhat even if only a little bit help reduce how much of a deathmatch TA is.

Also, I think that the terminals timer should extend when defusing it, it takes 6 or 7 seconds to defuse the terminal, which means if the timer for the match hits 6 seconds, you give up because there is no reason to even try. If the timer extended then it would encourage giving it your all to the last second.

[eager ivy]

everyone complain about it cuz the other classes got nerfed to ground and since that happened light is way more dominate. i think they should just buff the other classes back but some things on light need change like sniper body shot damage and tf n such

[dull mirage]

the fact i can count on one hand the amount of mediums ive seen without defib is crazy nerf defib for da love of god

[earnest sierra]

please can you ban any hacker hwid permaban?

[quick coyote]

Sniper is shit. It's only good on TA - A horribly balanced mode where burst damage is king with no hp regen on massive maps.

Also medium didn't get nerfed like, at all. They got a massive buff with the glitch trap rework that acts as an instant "fuck you" zone where players can't use any gadget or ability.

Heavy's guns are simply not overpowered and are just fine. They remain strong options with Lewis being a better AKM in every aspect. Heavy still has the two long complained about abilities, that win him every single fight instantly with 0 effort. Both untouched - RPG and Charge.

Just because heavy can't beam people from across the map as easily doesn't mean both heavy and medium are ""nerfed to the ground""

[smoky gust]

please nerf heal beam by making it recharge slower if you used up more of its charge

it wont hinder it from healing off chip damage and it can still be used a lot in 1 go, just if you do its a bit more risky and leaves an opening for enemies to take advantage of

[dim pivot]

after the update for xbox dropped i was having graphics issues like when i would play world tour every team would appear as the same color (red) and after reseting my console a few times nothing seemed to work. I am wondering if it has something to do with the update messing with some settings or my game file being messed up due to the recent microsoft IT issue that happend a few days ago. if there is any fix that i could do in the settings that would fix this that would bge nice. i havent heard that anyone else is having this issue as of now and i might be the only one nut if this issue is popping up on other xbox consoles i would say something now before it becomes a larger issue also after a game ends when it shows your stats alsong with your contestant card the font looks different than what it used to be this might also have soemthing to do with my console but it could be a issue that is slowly coming up in xbxox consoles

[wet verge]

Lights never needed a drastic buff in the first place. They had the most versatile Equipment, but now everyone is Dash-Sword lights. Instead of nerfing dash or swords, actually buff heavy and Mediums. Give Heavy’s Glitch traps to counter lights and mediums should have more exclusive items to incentivize players to not always rely on defibbing.

[quick coyote]

Gadget pool should be a lot larger, with most things available to both classes, save a couple team utility things, and an extra gadget slot specifically for destruction. The game prides itself on destruction but its utility is random and not accessible equally to each class. So there should be a destruction slot, like a weapon slot, where the only thing that goes there is something to provide destruction., without damage

[earnest sierra]

istg if i win a TA ranked match the points decrease not increase

[stuck rock]

lewis gun buff when?

[quick coyote]

Light didn't even get buffed aside from the health regen. 💀

Let alone complaining about melee weapons that only work at like 3 meters. Thought of simply... Keeping your distance?
Giving Heavy glitch traps is such an awful and out of touch idea. Heavy already counters Light and especially in melee range with charge, rpg, flamethrower sometimes even sledge. Winch completely shuts down light if you're next to your team, or if you're using practically any weapon and finish with rpg.

@stuck rock Lewis remains a straight upgrade to the AKM on the tank class. It's fine and is still one of heavy's best options.

@vernal swallow It's common sense. I'd love to hear your points, where you probably complain about dagger (one of the most dogshit weapons in the game).

[vernal swallow]

this gotta be rage bait ☠️

@nothel.#0000 ykw your right I think I am gonna shoot an rpg in my face to kill one light, and yeah your right I’ll keep all the distance in the map when they are dashing at me or using grapple 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Day 122 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

Plz add “Bank It” to ranked. If anything should be in ranked it’s that. It’s literally the most high stakes mode on the game

[eternal wigeon]

I feel that the ''You do realize light losses all 1v1s right'' comes from personal experience rather than facts. Lights excel in 1v1 fights, not the other way around. And for a class with the most mobility, y'all seem to not be able to factor that in and learn to dodge RPGs, I fricking do it as heavy with barricades, git gud.

And is it me or do most of the light mains on here have the worst takes on this channel? (there are exceptions ofc)

[unborn garnet]

I think $20k is too short for the final round in WT. Make it 30k

[stuck rock]

make leaving ta ranked make you wait 30 min as a penatly. ive had this happened 2 times in a row now where my teamate leaves for whatever reason and DOES NOT RECONECT, this is insanly unfair and 10 min is not a proper penalty for a game mode that can take 1.3k elo away from 1 game

[ember island]

From what is being said on this channel about multiplayer stability, I’m assuming that your teammates are getting unlucky with the game, unfortunately, crashing; which can be really frustrating, but it’s more common as of recent then previous seasons.

[eager ivy]

bro ur too high rn wut are these takes. luis gun better than ak lmao go sober up and come back

[burnt notch]

You’re able to do it with barricades, sure, but lights don’t have that. Lights have no counter to rpg besides evasive dash if the heavy is firing it close range if not point-blank. And considering many of (at least) my encounters with dog were close-range, and me being a cloak main, I have little to no shot of avoiding the rpg.

Also cloak is perfectly fine to me, maybe I’m just getting dumbahh teammates but a lot of times I end up evading enemies with it

"Light wins all 1v1s"
No light doesn't
Attach TTK sheet that shows very clearly light not/barely winning any 1v1 fight that they're supposed to "excel at"
"No light wins just dodge rpg"

Talk about shit takes when you can't even bring any arguments. I don't use guns, and light hard counters my playstyle yet I know light is far from overpowered when heavy is straight up braindead easy and does everything light does but better.

@eager ivy I literally put the sheet a couple messages ago that has all the numbers and stats and you're calling me high when you can't even spell the gun's name right..
Lewis has more body damage, more headshot damage, larger mag = more damage per mag. And some extra range to top it off + 100hp

All this for 1 second longer reload and 100 less RPM that only increases the TTK by 0.02 (20ms) - 0.10 (100ms) seconds. On the fucking tank class.

I will put the sheet, one more time. So the very open minded fellas here that keep bringing up "light beats heavy in a 1v1" could hopefully learn to read fucking numbers and know how TTK works, that light doesn't win 1v1s as you claim them to be. Not mentioning RPG and Charge n Slam that kill light instantly or leave them at 10hp.

I won't continue this discussion. Seeing how out of touch, clueless some of the people in this channel are truly surprises me and further proves that casual shitters that understand nothing about the game will continue to ruin this game.

[next mortar]

Hey why am I only getting Kyoto every single game? And there's MASSIVE performance issues only on this map? Been worse lately

[crystal umbra]

Id like to suggest a Quality of life change:

For items like Thermal vision where our characters pull out a tablet looking thing then we activate it: why don't we make some sort of hot button activation like how the specialization is; it's immediately activated.

Im on controller so idk how it feels on Mn'K but it would feel nice to just use the command bumper + direction and we immediately see an activation of the thermal vision.

For items like Baracades, jump pads, or zip lines I understand the delay in activation but the Thermal vision feels more clunky than it needs to be tbh.

---

What do you guys think about temporarily switching things up and removing the need to reload gadgets like rocket launcher, tracking dart, thermal bore, stun gun, etc? Just to see what it's like.

I don't like TA but if we're stuck with it, let's try to make it more tolerable:

Smaller maps-
I agree with ottr when he said "the devs missed the perfect opportunity to make the maps smaller using the new boarder feature they made for the pregame lobbies".
Hopefully we can turn up the pace alot for Terminal Attack soon. Smaller map, shorter rounds, less times picking up my phone mid match because I'm dead until the next round.

As fun as The Finals is, I just don't play it to watch a kill cam.

In the same breath id like to mention that I like the changes to Bank-It, I'm wondering if we can test out a temporary mode where we use the boarders to make the maps smaller and we play a more condensed version of Bank-It?

The truth is The People just want multi team death match with small respawn times (or instant respawns).

[quick coyote]

Remove joining mid-match from Bank It. I've loaded in a losing match with 5 seconds left thrice now. How is this possible?

[eternal wigeon]

Lol, those numbers are from a very controlled setting, it basically ignores the size difference between a heavy and a light and bullet spread ect. . Not to mention that gadgets and abilities play a huge part in a duel.

Just pointing at perfect numbers and crying that the heavy's gun kills faster (beause of the light's low health pool) is just idiotic. And yeah, go ahead, avoid any discussion and go back to your echo chamber.

[eager ivy]

on paper and game play are never going to be the same

[dreamy ore]

I DON'T EVEN PLAY THIS GAME MODE AND IS TRUE, THE FEW TIMES I PLAYED WAS PURE RATS WITH SNIPE

You need to do something about a ranking up. It is so hard to get home good teammates. Whenever I get into gold one. I've been getting bad Teammates. I go like that down to gold 4. 4 times now. Do something about it.

[wintry moth]

dw im 100% sure there will be an effort made to queue you with better ppl

[true harness]

Bring back the death stat at the end of games/tournaments.

[somber snow]

Just played Power Shift. We wiped the other team after the timer. The platform went back to controlled by our team (it never crossed the halfway point to our side). As soon as we re-captured it, we were eliminated. Sounds like some win / lose condition needs to be checked

[quick coyote]

Ok so stats don't actually happen in the game? Christ what is wrong with you... It's an AK with more ammo, damage and range. I hope that's simple enough for you. Carry on now.

@eternal wigeon Bullet spread is completely subjective therefore shouldn't be taken into account. You have actually good heavy players who can control the spread very well, and others who are awful with it. Same with light. If you can't use the gun no one's to blame but you.

avoid any discussion and go back to your echo chamber
And for that I will keep shitting on your out of touch, Heavy biased takes - Completely ignoring Heavy's instant win buttons

Not to mention that gadgets and abilities play a huge part in a duel.
Winch basically wins heavy the fight automatically, it's not even hard to hit, with close to no wind up.
Charge is basically an instant win if the light happens to be close.
RPG + 1 Bullet (I know it's very hard for a Heavy like yourself to hit 1 bullet)

What does light have?

Stun gun. It doesn't block RPG, Barricade or dome. Insane part.
Dash? RPG has more range. Yes, I did the testing. Dashing is about 6m and RPG can roughly hit up to 8 meters, this is under perfect circumstances where the heavy is literally blind and can't aim an AOE shot.

I wonder what magical setting where Light excels in a 1v1 like you said. Even if the light shot first they still lose, they get rpg'd and lose, they get charged/slammed more likely than not lose, they get winched and insta killed. There isn't a single scenario I can think of where light and heavy are on equal ground and light wins. Where like you said Light should excel.

I attached some clips i got a couple hours ago, you wanted human input with no on paper stats, there you go. Straight up insta killing people with charge.

But what do I know? Maybe light's limbs should get cut off so the heavy mains could finally be happy. At least I can go to sleep knowing full well heavies will never have a reasonable take that isn't biased or simply a... Skill Issue.

avoid any discussion and go back to your echo chamber
And for that I will keep shitting on your out of touch, Heavy biased takes - Completely ignoring Heavy's instant win buttons

[tidal lake]

I have gone from gold one. To silver. In the span of 2 days.

[elder folio]

Spread isn't subjective, it's an objective stat that can't be controlled aside from not moving. Recoil, however, can be controlled (I agree with you I just think you misunderstood something he said) but also those were some absolute shitters on the enemy teams in those clips jeez. Like let me into those lobbies where the enemies have shit enough positioning to actually get hit by allat puhlease. Also you didn't have to do that guy dirty by barricading and charging him right on res like what did he do lol 😭

[quick coyote]

autosprint just doesnt work in the worst moments bro like

[sharp belfry]

Can we get a throwing knife nerf please, that shit is way too braindead easy for how strong it is

[eager ivy]

no wonder u think heavy is op ur facing absolute trash cans tf only clip u aint is bottom mid one

[dim tangle]

heavy is OP lmao

[hardy bridge]

Nerf the revolver already

[eternal wigeon]

The light weapons have super small spread and recoil compared to the heavy weapons, especially after the nerfs to the Lewis and M60. Bullet spread is far from subjective give the light's small stature, especially at medium range.

''avoid any discussion and go back to your echo chamber
And for that I will keep shitting on your out of touch, Heavy biased takes - Completely ignoring Heavy's instant win buttons'' you said that twice, did I hit a nerve?

Winch has to hit, then again, as the fastest class you have every tool at your disposal to juke it.

Ah, the taser used to block barricades, rpg or shield, boy was that absolutely annoying to basically have my controls taken away because some braindead snot decided to hit me with it. Glitch grenades can be used with the taser to deny gadgets

If you got hit by C&S you got too close, yet I agree that the C&S deserves a nerf, it should only have one hurtbox and no followup imo.

Your human inputs are bad examples, only 1 of them feature a light... and it's against a medium. (And the light missed multiple knife throws, skill issue), you just want to throw shade at the C&S, which is granted tbh

Btw in case you haven't read my name I'm a sledge main.

If there's something I've learned well playing the sledge is that you need to fight the heavy at mid range, not dash in thinking you won't get punished for it.

[smoky gust]

imo all classes are, which leads to them kind of being in equilibrium
all classes should be equally viable/powerful while making use of what makes them unique

but an op meta is not good
you need to run whatever can make your class op to keep up with everyone else
you get discouraged and punished for going off meta, leading to less loadout variety and low item pick rates for a lot of items
at the same time it lowers skill expression because it often boils engagements down to who can out cheese the other one first, which also frequently makes engagements frustrating

every class gets complaints because of what makes them op
if all 3 got nerfed in the aspect that makes them op they should remain equals, while making more options viable, improving skill expression and lowering frustration

[dim tangle]

I suppose it kinda depends on the player but when going against not even what you would call good heavy players I've lost more fights this season to heavy than any other class in the game do to the sheer amount of DPM that heavy outputs and the winch claw hasn't been making heavies any easier to deal with but I constantly run into meta heavies recently in WT and sometimes it's just no fun if I have a bad run with my squad and can't recoup when heavies are getting hand held on cashouts and they just have winch so my positioning is useless around the cashout when they can just one swipe me with that thing bring me to them (sometimes they hit me through walls) and blow me up with mines or flamethrower me to death and i can't do much of anything to combat it.

Fighting other mediums is not much of a problem at all and I usually take 85-90% of 1v1's with a medium unless I wiff my shots.

And lights is just really dependent if I pay attention to where they are if they are cloaking and what not

[sharp belfry]

The heal chaining is ridiculous just make out irl please

[untold cypress]

All the L/L/L teams in Quick Cash need to go play Bank It!
They're getting to me😅

[shell raven]

increase model 1887 effectiveness at closer/point blank ranges but decrease it at medium/longer range, and reduce/remove ads inaccuracy on revolver

[opal osprey]

i feel they should make it so there is only 2 max of each class on a team

[idle cloak]

can someone tell my why this is happening when no tool is being used. A disallowed tool was detected running in the system. Is this due to antivirus or what

[crisp heart]

OK embark.... can you please add a hud safezone option already

[tawny oak]

Fix the sniper rifle.

[earnest fossil]

Remove the Kill Count, not the death - because people keep usign kill counts to determine if a player contribute

[quick coyote]

People with 8 kills and 2k combat score be like "im a god" in TA.

[daring fossil]

I dont want to be on a team with 2 light randoms without also being light. getting into fights as a medium or heavy with both your team mates being off doing whatever the hell they're doing sucks. At least if im light I can escape lol

[mystic marlin]

Add an item for light where you can scan the enemy teams trophies and reveal their team

[tribal spoke]

The dual swords have no reach or any other way to counter lights, A light that paying attention cant die to the blades unless they massively misplay

[opal osprey]

tbh thats fair, if the player base was a lil bigger then they could do what overwatch does where you pick the class before the match and then it ques with other player classes that are needed for the team it would likely only work in TA that dosent matter fr

[verbal kayak]

Another day another reminder world tour is a joke. Ranked format, but no matchmaker, and no consequence for losing? What the hell is this? #REMOVETA BRING BACK RANKED CASHOUT!!!!!!!!!!

[upper yoke]

I feel like the stun from the heavy grapple shouldn’t be a thing. There’s no counter apart from being further away which we all know doesn’t happen when you’re fighting close combat.

[mental shoal]

Having Trouble logging in it keeo saying "this game reuires secureboot o capable hardware

[sharp willow]

if they do this they should add recon sense back

[sacred glacier]

buff the m60

[gritty umbra]

but dont you get it, they did all this to make it better !!!! how dare u question embark or nexon for their poor management of this game

[earnest fossil]

I don't mind in TA. But if you are playing WT, just do it near the objective. You will get your kills if you camp.

[snow anvil]

Use a security program that others use. You won't catch the scammer.

[broken geyser]

Reduce m60 and Lewis recoil. Lewis has the diamond and emarld skin as well. There's no point if the guns just keep getting worse. Atleast fix it's recoil.

[hardy bridge]

When will they nerf the fucking revolver

[solemn coral]

U ever used the thing it’s kinda like extremely hard to use so prob never

[young hamlet]

Make the quick melee for riot shield a shield bash

[unkempt bane]

[edgy urchin]

[dusky portal]

Plz remove terminal attack from the game

[violet elbow]

TA is an absurdly terrible mode, GGs on wasting so much dev time and resources on it

[raw moss]

You should look into getting people from the community to do vocal work. My biggest issue with the ai voices is how flat and lifeless they are. It kinda drags them down, especially when they’re saying stuff that should be hype but they just don’t sound very excited. I bet if you set up auditions you could get a pretty damn good amount of people (I’d even throw my hat into the ring lol), and you could get some insanely good talent from that.

[eternal wigeon]

Imo the revolver's just fine as it is, very hard to use but just as rewarding

[hardy bridge]

It deals 148 damage and it's hitscan and fires super fast how is that not op

[daring fossil]

if anything it needs a range and dispersion buff

[young smelt]

They could get some of the people who quit to do it so they’re actually former contestants 🥰

[agile jacinth]

It fires very inaccurately if shot fast, has huge range drop off, it needs the critical to even be competitive against other weapon’s DPS, and thats not accounting for movement which is a very easy counter to the gun, try using the gun before commenting feedback like that

[mental shoal]

LFG D Prev m/H

[boreal sentinel]

New game mode: Restriction mode
This mode is divided into 3 modes. Each mode players only gets to choose one role only. Light, medium and heavy. Players will only get to play as mediums in Medium mode and vice versa.

[valid blaze]

make it so only certian weapons can be used as well.

[earnest sierra]

I hope a dev see this really..

i really understand how embark want the game to be competitive but production desires shouldn't always be prioritized over players needs, The mechanics lakes a bit in the movement side but overall is great, the graphics is fantastic especially the reflections and the occlusion, all that are good, but the real problem is how you embark studio want the players to play the game or address it..the game mainly should be an fast paced chaotic sandbox destruction game with all things possible and unpredictable, therefor it would be fun to play and people will enjoy it and others will be tryhards sweats to grind for the rank and leaderboard, i always root for embark in this channel specifically and always believe that embark devs is going to do the right thing and we have to give them sometime and i still have hope and love this game and continue to support it and support embark but please don't kill the game

the game is just the best chaotic arcade destruction game, that what it should be so casual modes should be more variant and only 1 mode for ranked which should be cashout with 64 players i prefer to make it more competitive for those who love it, and the other game modes should be casuals and solo bank it is a MUST, not everyone love to play with a team right? and from time to time a limited time events that brings something like TA and ranked solo bank it and some other stuff, i don't want to throw some suggestions here and there that might be so hard to make in the game but i would like to see some kind of a big 64 player in 1 medium size map, with an objective to "win the flag" or whatever that makes all 64 players rush for something to win, with time limit that are maybe 20 mins that to make it faster because this is a fast paced chaotic destruction game right? that will fit the game!

please embark make the game pop at season 4, what already have done in season 3 is from the past and we will have to wait 75 days for season 4 and something like what i said if you're not already making maybe we will see it at season 5 or 6, please embark fix the game this game should NEVER be a competitive game like valorant or CS2, this game can be the best ever chaotic destruction game

i hate how players not liking the game and barely play, this might not be good for now but if not fixed this would be way worse in the long run, all games have bad seasons and some have multiple bad seasons and they fell off, but always they comeback with good content to fulfill player enjoyment in the next season, this game is fairly new and embark too, so 2 bad seasons wouldn't really be good

idk if nexon have any hand in making the game look like this so it doesn't take over their game "The First Descendant" but i hope not

please embark do the right thing

[quick dew]

#BringBackNightVision

[rough herald]

i don't want yet another nothing patches for the 6 time in a row
Give us balance changes already

[topaz ledge]

I'd like to see a change in the way sliding affects movement. Currently, sliding during a sprint decreases speed and there is a clunky delay afterwards into another sprint or jump. The only way to maintain momentum after a jumppad or zipline is bhopping, which I really enjoy since it carries lots of speed and is smooth and natural feeling. However, jumps from pads and jumps off of ziplines don't happen too often so movement in the finals feels clunky outside of those situations.

[silent oriole]

having to play alternate gamemodes for weeklies is not fun at all, if your going to have weekly objs to play just make me play 20 games in any mode or something instead of having to play gamemodes i dont enjoy

[proper barn]

Please add a setting to extend the viewmodel FOV. The AKM and Revolver are specific examples I can think of that looks kinda weird with how close the hands are to the camera

[jagged cedar]

my dome shield is grayed out and I cant use it for this entire match lol. Great game https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009830578545246213/1264857371319205929/image.png?ex=669f65b9&is=669e1439&hm=f09c9c642fbbd7ea4c062754b6fea1fb525a327c350c1bed70d1b26cee6fddcb&

fix XP screenshake so I can do this to people again

let embark cook bro trust them bro bro bro trust bro we need our weekly animation and ui fixes and no balancing changes

Welcome to medium melee (mediums and light can run, heavies can outdamage you in melee range)
Dual blades are just way worse than riot shield against people with brain cells (riot shield is already one of the weakest weapons in the game)

[flint jungle]

You should think that if everyone had the same life everyone would have the same hitbox and speed.

With your idea you only eliminate the class system and from what you say you like to play lightly do you want to lose your speed and little hit box?

[topaz ledge]

the only reason we would have identical classes with identical loadouts would be to have an ultra competitive game like cs or valorant. I think its still possible to have a competitive game with unique classes, weapons, and gadgets that is balanceable

[solemn echo]

Get a render distance setting for people with less good pcs so more people are able to play smoothly

There is, in game it's called "View Distance". :D

remove snipers from power shift entirely. like genuinely no one has fun fighting them in the mode, whats the point?

[rough herald]

remove sniper entirely, it never fun to fight and the only 2 counter play is just bad while the 3rd is just don't peek

counter play 1: you shoot the sniper (you die)
counter play 2: forsaken your random teammate to fight 2v3 while you try to kill the sniper, and when you finally get there
your team is dead and are berating you for going on your own and guess what? the sniper grapple away and it all started
again

[nocturne fern]

MAKE THIS GUY A DEV THATS WHAT I BEN SAYING. Sniper just doesnt require any teamwork to get value. And the sniper can just be a threat without hitting any shots the entire game, you gotta entirely change your play style to combat playing against snipers and its so exhausting

[unkempt bane]

Learn from First Descendant game management and content creating speed.
They are communicate with player and do some changes even they are**~~ FK~~ Nexon**. I hate no communicate before do such a big change like TA rank. And Embark have only cosmetic item making speed wtf. What a L moment.

[opal ocean]

ive been in three games in a row now where a teammate laeves, if someone leaves you should be allowed to leave to without a penalty, i wasted playing this fkin game for over an hour just to lose because of an unfair advantage in numbers when I couldve saved more of my little time I have to game by simply leaving without a penalty.

EDIT: This is for WT by the way

You try shooting a bow through a riot shield in real life and let me know how it goes.

The finals should have better optimisation for controller players. Give more button optimisation for controller players for example being able to swap to an item with the double tap or triple of a button or swipe on the middle pad of a controller. And also holding certain buttons do a different function to that of that just pressing it or even giving one function like jumping or shooting to different keybinds so u can choose what u are comfortable with given the situation.

[strange pollen]

I have a suggestion. The atmosphere of the game is incredible, especially because of the magical soundtracks. It would be great to be able to choose what soundtrack we want, what atmosphere for our game. For example, one guy may prefer to play with the season 2 soundtrack, and another with the beta soundtrack. That would be great

[sweet bone]

Agreed!

[nocturne fern]

can we just remove the glitch mine. that shit is so op its crazy @rough herald anything that stops you from being able to play the game is bad

its not like things dont need to be nerfed tho. the game isnt balanced right now and things need to be changed. we want the game to be fun to everyones mains and playstyles and i think that if they make the right changes we arent very far off that goal @tired gulch care to explain what needs buffs

[jagged cedar]

turn off crossplay lol

we need buffs not nerfs rn

NERF THE FINALS™️

[regal salmon]

To counter the criticisms people have with Ranked being stuck in an unpopular mode, how about if it had its own type of World Tour? But each two weeks it changed gamemode?

WT has 7 stages. So Ranked WT could go:

1. PRESHOW - Quick Cash (All maps - 1 week)
2. Cashout (Monaco/Vegas - 2 weeks)
3. Power Shift (All maps - 2 weeks)
4. Cashout (Skyway/Horizon - 2 weeks)
5. Terminal Attack (All maps - 2 weeks)
6. Cashout (Seoul/Kyoto - 2 weeks)
7. Bank It (All maps - 2 weeks)
8. SEASON FINALE - Cashout (All maps - 1 week)

That way, every gamemode gets to shine. It's a truer test of skill, as it's across every part of the game. And it reinforces the gameshow theme by continually switching things up.

[wary cypress]

Nerf Iseul-T and Ospuze, Embark. The commentator voicelines are hardcoded to say those 2 all the time. Even during the ENGIMO Open they'll say "This one minute warning was brought to you by Ospuze" and that's not the only one. Like bro ENGIMO ain't pay allat money to sponsor a world tour to be left out like that.

[earnest sierra]

blud wants the finals to be xdefiant or smth so it can be balanced lmao, real skill issue

[jagged cedar]

me when I actively downplay the horrible state of balance and game health.

So many things in this list like winchclaw, charge, rpg, and glitch mines disproportionately effect unique, off meta builds and further drive this game towards the run and gun reskin you describe. Reworking these into healthier versions of themselves would promote better build diversity, make more playstyles viable, and overall improve game health.

@tired gulch I would consider the ak the middle point of balance in this game. Anything worse should be buffed and anything better should be nerfed. While it's true that a lot of things need buffs the ones that need nerfs shouldnt be ignored

[night bone]

I would love to do It, but unfortunately, it's actually impossible to find a lobby on xbox, i tryed for 13 minutes straight (im talking about WT) on the weekend in both Europe and North america servers...

[smoky gust]

issue is, how are you gonna buff stuff?

example: how would you buff frags to be as strong as defib?
giving it faster recharge or a bigger reserve just results in more spam, which will be problematic
more damage makes it 1 shot lights in a way bigger radius
bigger explosion range would make it even less escapable

only unproblematic things i could think of would be destructive power or bigger throwing range, but i dont think that would be impactful enough

we need to figure out something different, and then do that for most of the items in the game as well
its way more work and probably just results in more items being annoying
its easier and healthier to just knock the strongest stuff down a bit

@proper barn @tired gulch
frags are really good, but unlike say rpg or defib, they aren't run 100% of the time, meaning they are weaker
most items should be equally strong with similar pick rates, and none should be must picks
this is not currently the case, so something would need to change
that would mean either buffing frags (and all other items, so they can out-compete defib/rpg) or nerfing the other 2
buffing frags is a bad idea which both of you seem to agree on, so in my opinion, the other stuff should be nerfed

i hope i could explain my though process well

oh and specifically to that last point herman, i think that defib really shouldn't be that strong
slight power differences will always exist, and thats ok, but there is a huge gap between defib and any other item
always facing/using the same few items is boring, which is especially problematic with how annoying facing it can be at times
promoting different playstyles with different items is awesome, but it sucks that we are at a major disadvantage if we dont want to/cant equip that one because we want to combine other stuff

[boreal sentinel]

Nerf overpriced skin releases. Buff bug fixes

[signal basin]

Like when you're crying without knowing nothing

[proper barn]

why are we buffing frags? They are already insanely good

[tired gulch]

?
frag grenade is in a perfectly fine spot rn. Defib is a medium exclusive gadget and takes up one slot, it doesnt mean everything has to match that gadgets power level. The problem is that there is little to no reason to pick other options like flash, smoke, pyro etc. They shouldn't be as strong as defib, but good and viable options for different playstyles.

[hollow badger]

plunger as a sledgehammer skin

[eternal warren]

aim assist fixed?

[nocturne fern]

the frag grenade is NOT in a good spot rn. i think it does a bit too much damage for it to be a thing with no indicator. if they wanna keep the damage of the nade they need to add something that tells you theres one nearby like in other games. but if they dont want to add an indicator they should nerf the damage. both also works bc rn i think it does just a little bit too much dmg. @echo urchin in a game with messy fights and so much happening like the finals, a grenade being thrown into a fight that is as difficult as it is to see and doing 150 damage doesnt feel fun to play against even as a heavy. imo i dont think anything should do over about 110-120 damage in one shot

[upper citrus]

World’s worst take

[mild mango]

World tour on eu servers full with trolls and noobs fix the team balances for once keep getting new players or npcs as teammates against decent active players

[tired gulch]

I still dont see the problem with defib being a meta pick for medium. If any gadget should be meta its defib. Makes the games more fun because you get revived more often instead of waiting around. It’s part of the identity of the medium class, and should be good like the RPG is for heavy and gateway is for light.

[echo urchin]

Care to actually explain or provide concrete examples?

-response to the general discussion-

People keep saying nerf defib. How? What do you mean by that? Why? Can any of you actually explain your opinion? This constant parroting nerf X, nerf y. Stfu unless you can explain what you actually mean and WHY you think it’s necessary or a good idea.

lol, now frags need to be nerfed too, but also no one uses them but also they’re OP. Jfc.

[civic orchid]

stuck on the loading screen during a rank, thank goodness you solved it... a month and a half with this bug then finally you say you solved it and instead as always you demonstrated your incompetence. Change the dev and maybe you can fix some bugs.

[warped torrent]

Thank you for all yor hard work. The game is perfect -intel issues.

[echo urchin]

You didn’t though. You good?

“many things in this list like winchclaw, charge, rpg, and glitch mines disproportionately effect unique, off meta builds”

Which builds, and how do those items disproportionately affect them in such a way that makes it so the aforementioned builds are unusable?

How would you rework them, and how would that fix the problem established above?

Why or how would this improve overall game health?

Anyone can say “nerf x, because they make other things unusable. Doing so would be good for everyone.”

[smoky gust]

defib being a meta pick is totally fine
but currently its the meta, i can count the amount of mediums i saw that didn't use it on 1 hand, when was the last time you saw one?

lets say someone really likes pyro and goo as their default loadout and they now want to try data reshaper
well, though luck, they can either decide to dump the combination they love or throw out defib and be at a significant disadvantage compared to other mediums

alongside that issue, i also find defib pretty annoying at times, so id welcome a nerf
but that is more of a personal opinion

obviously we should try to make the game more fun, and defib helps achieve that, so you're obviously not wrong
but it also makes the game more annoying for the enemies, because their kills just get reverted immediately, often without a proper window for counterplay, which removes a lot of the reward they might otherwise have gotten for skillful plays (which can be pretty disheartening)
the mediums team, in that case, gets to have more fun at the expense of everyone else
i don't think that's healthy for the game

defib being part of mediums identity is also not an issue by itself, but currently it just overshadows everything else
it should be a viable/good option next to everything else, and not like currently with a massive gap

similar story with rpg, it just overshadows everything, to the point where i basically never see it not being used (which can be very troublesome if you enjoy playing light)

@echo urchin id like to hear your opinion on my explanation regarding defib if possible, what do you think?

[jagged cedar]

charge completely shuts down every melee in the game while also butchering certain cqc weapons

glitch mines also completely shut down both light melees while hindering any other cqc spec/gadget focused playstyle like goo sledge or mesh/goo flamethrower

rpg 140 instant damage just isnt healthy considering how easy and reliable it is to pull off

winch claw being a free kill on basically any class when a team is playing around you isnt healthy considering how easy and reliable it is to pull off.

Charge may be reworked by giving it ramp up/momentum-based damage similar to slam's damage.

Glitch mines should not have linger effects when destroyed and should be reworked to either be more similar to an aps turret, be given a notified charge up time before you get glitched, or have a max glitch time

Rpg should do less damage (smth like 100) but have no hip fire spread or be reworked to be destruction oriented, doing 50 damage, have 2 charges, and no spread

Winch should never have been introduced imo but as long as it is, it should be purely for displacement, with no stun, and possibly no setting the player directly in front of you

[wraith orchid]

MY GAME crashes random mid match

[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

[ionic grail]

I can say whoever developed the rank scoring system and a monkey, in fact probably if you had hired a monkey he would have done better, you have given so many good premises about this system the truth is the only thing that matters is the total score gap between the teams, the rest almost never makes a difference, so the only thing you have to do when you start a rank to earn points is to hope that your team is the one below the gap because if you don't you play half an hour/40 minutes to earn a maximum of 500 points if you're happy. what a disgusting system developed by troglodytes who have never played an fps. I start a rank and I just have to pray. the kda doesn't count for shit I won a game 20 5 7 my friend with me in the team scored 10 3 8 and I got 20 points more than him it's total disgust but now what can I expect you're the devs who kicked out a great game but they are killing it because they don't have the slightest idea of ​​how to manage a fps, hire some monkeys maybe they do better than you.

[signal prism]

Please put deaths back on the world tour scorecard at the end

[tired gulch]

lets say embark nerfs defib to the same level as frag nade. That would mean a MASSIVE nerf to not only the defib gadget but to the medium class as a whole. To balance it like this, embark would need to do the same to every other class. RPG, dome, gateway etc. What ends up happening then is a big nerf spiral that sucks the fun out of these abilities. I do see where youre coming from tho, i just think defib is fun to use and not particularly annoying to face. (S1 defib was pretty obnoxious tho). But buffing other misc gadgets would help with your issue too i think, then atleast the off meta pick isnt as off meta anyomore. Right now we have the super good: Defib and jump pad. then the good: Frag, zip, mines and the rest are kinda garbage. If atleast you bring the garbage tier in line with the good ones, build variety would be much better than it is now.

[eternal kayak]

I believe the finals should make people shoot their guns again and be good at aiming again. There are far too many crutches in this FPS game for people who can’t shoot. It’s to a point it’s punishing people who are good shooters. It’s like bullets don’t push back melee, they don’t stop a guy from grabbing you with a claw so now I have to jump dodge and shoot just to appease a player who can’t shoot. It’s not a good feeling for a first person shooter. It’s so many cheap counters for a person shooting at you that require no extra skill meanwhile being the person shooting you have to do so much while still landing shots.

[eternal wigeon]

I'd say 75-100 damage, 50 would be way too unforgiving to get any decent damage (rog is very important to finish off running target in my case)

[jagged cedar]

it would have 2 charges. 100 damage would literally just turn it into an option for a primary lol. 50 would be fine if it was destruction oriented while also having the option for damage.

[smoky gust]

The first part is pretty much exactly what i would like to see
Just with the difference that i dont take issue with gateway, and more with lights recent weapon buffs

If everyone got nerfed in the parts that they are each frequently complained about they should remain balanced, while removing/lessening what many view as annoying

Your worries about a nerf spiral that sucks out the fun is warrented
But i dont think that would happen, because i think the lessened frustrations and greater build variety would more than make up for it

I think this is pretty much just a matter of opionion

I do think defib is/can be annoying, especially if you dont fight fire with fire or are having a bad day
But again, experiences vary, so its not clear cut

I just hope that embark does some balance changes soon so we get some fresh wind, and maybe goes a bit more experimental with balance changes to test out differnet options

It was nice being able to be able to talk in a constructive manner with someone, have a nice day

[quick coyote]

I personally think defib is fine. The issues I find with it are the iframes it gives and the hologram acting more as a shield than an indicator. Regardless of how you nerf defib it will remain one of the best gadgets in the game, a free revive is just too good and with medium being the support class it's a no brainer.

[rough herald]

||just list some bullet point with a few comment bro don't waste dev time||

[crisp heart]

Please im begging you embark... I have been since s1....... please please please add a hud safezone

[pseudo latch]

Day One Two Three 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

Increase the impact damage or tick damage of pyro grenades or increase the radius of their effect. or at least add spreading to them. Or just add an impact grenade. I can't even count the number of times someone has chased me and I've thrown a pyro grenade just to have them run through it, or the times when, to protect a cashout, I've thrown a pyro on it just to have them either sit through it long enough to steal or just move .1m to the side to steal

I mean, if we’re cherry picking clips of people that don’t know how to utilize their classes properly, sure. I’ve seen heavies move with more urgency and creativity. The light should be getting out of there, healing up, and then using their mobility to flank the enemy and reengage with an advantage (better position, first shots).

[quick coyote]

Yeah light should flank and reengage to be able to kill one player properly as the glass cannon, and Heavy - The Tank/Fortification class should run at people's faces and shred them with no counterplay. Very well designed.

Heavy doesnt have a lot of variety with whats good in their kit, adding the glitch trap gives them a reason to swap from using the barricades/dome shields/rpg

That Heavy is braindead, press 1 and kill literally everyone, I have dozens of clips where I just one tap mediums with charge, rpg lights just aiming in their general directions.

looking at the ttk for things is lowkey dumb bc it doesnt show how the actual game pans out. im sick of people using this as an argument. the ttk for a sniper is literally 0 and i dont see people complaining about that. flawed stats (sniper should still be removed) @drowsy stump what ur problem with the classes lil bro neither one is op. oh mb you "dropped the mic"

[crystal umbra]

Can we get the Gundam skin in silver and call it the Cyber truck skin or something?

[drowsy stump]

Lol my weak argument it’s facts my guy. The classe are literally not the same right? L M H. Correct? So when you try to balance these already unbalanced classes this leads to issues right? Right. So my “weak” argument is actually just a basic argument anyone can make. Such a sophisticated person would have understood this but while you sounding out syllables to pronounce the word “sophisticated” I’ll be dropping my mic. You are ignorant to act so smart and attack a basic argument anyone with a brain cell could make. I play all classes you act like I don’t stop beating a dead horse. It’s feedback for the devs not you but since you sport their ball polisher I guess this is what I get for giving them my feedback.could’ve fooled me you keep saying each class requires different play styles even a 5th grader would understand this. Such a smart person but doesn’t want to say the classes are unbalanced. If they aren’t then why is everyone here? Oh wait cause they are unbalanced. So I’m confused we are in a section to talk about how the game could change for the better. But here you are saying it’s fine. Game is NEVER GOING TO BE BALANCED WITH UNBALANCED CLASSES. Period. You can argue all you want get all smart ass with it if you feel it makes you cooler. But at the end of the day damage is different health is different movement is different which means they are all not equal. Which in turn means they are not balanced. Bow is strong unless a update I’m am not aware of is out yea it’s a 2 shot kill on medium. So you either don’t play or are just defending light cause you play it.

[echo urchin]

Bro, miss me with that weird parasocial identification with a certain class or playstyle. On god, light main, heavy main, whatever main is astrology for dude bros. I play all the classes and loadouts depending on my mood or what makes the most tactical sense.

The fact is, all the classes take skill to use effectively, some of them just require more of certain skills than others.

Heavies need good timing, game sense, and positioning to succeed. I get that isn’t the type of skill that quick snap movement merchants respect but anyone who has played with a shit heavy and a great heavy knows there is a clear difference.

I also have a bunch of clips of me running circles around a heavy with my throwing knives, doing damage while he wastes his ammo, then he has to reload and I finish him off. Or, I cloak and sneak up on someone going to res their teammate and back stab them. Or I get my heavy to claw the cashout into the open and snipe anyone who tries to steal it from whatever rooftop I just moved to.

I have clips of me getting kills or even ledging people with the claw, and clips of me clawing a light that dashes and headshots me with a sniper rifle. I have clips of me going for a charge slam and the light dashes back a bunch and then shoots me as I’m charging at it.

I’m not saying to prioritize mechanical aiming over those things but being grabbed by a wench and stabbed by a spear is hardly skillful and is punishing to those of greater skill because we’re constantly having to overcompensate for cheap tactics.

Bro never again am I replying to these people in this channel bruh. 90% of comments here literally self-report themselves or talk about how "bad" the game is. Yall need to get good or switch on over to another game which most likely has worse game devs and hackers 👇

@minor wharf @dense gulch @gray ore @hoary badger
As a consistent player since season one, I think it's important for Embark to watch this video for some excellent ideas about the game interface, sponsors, and rank system. I think this video encapsulate the entire premise of the game ... and by the way you guys should definitely bring back the tournament mode as the primary ranking system.

i really donnu why some people mention the devs like you know better than them lmao

they literally have all the data abt you in-the game so they can collect them and decide what should they do and tbh this feedback channel is so stupid and pointless because of the idiots smashing on the keyboard and giving destructive feedbacks and others insult the devs like assholes, and bold of you to assume they don't see those videos and listen to good feedback unlike most of people here that have 0 idea how to report a bug or give a proper feedback

[winter wing]

Bring back the beta momentum based movement. Slowing down this game and switching to terminal attack is killing this player base.

[grim patrol]

Remove sniper from the game, it is unbalanced and no longer fits with the flow of the game. And I do not believe there is a way it can be nerfed in a satisfying way that makes it balanced and useable

[unique steeple]

Dont remove it from the whole game but from TA is fine

[real rivet]

just limit the number of lights and delete sonar from TA, and fix their anti cheat and it will be good

[smoky gust]

I agree for the most part

Either they are on your team and barely help with the objective or they are on the enemy team and have incredible pressure potential (with no reasonable counterplay)

Though i do think there could be a solution

I would give it damage falloff (and maybe slightly higher rate of fire or some other compensation) and turn it into a mid range hunting rifle

Less range means they need to get closer and risk more
The enemies dont have to run as far if they should want to hard commit on the elimination and just shooting back becomes more effective

It would be very similar to lh1, but its not like we dont habe stuff like that already
An option with minimal differences is prefferable to one that breaks the game and causes frustration

[winter narwhal]

Riot shield needs to be removed or hard nerfed. Make it a half body shield rather than a full shield. Or take away the baton and give it no attack ability.

[quartz shell]

I hate riot shields but I think they are balanced, literally a hammer counters it
just need some lucky to get good teammates

-rework the chain pls how its possible that it makes me go through the walls

[warm mauve]

Played ranked since my placements and I have to say it is by far the worst balanced I've seen this game. Non stop wall hacks and snipers that oppress either side. 9/10 are lights as well. In what universe did you expect this to be "fun" or "competitive"?

[wraith orchid]

still stuck in loading screen

[urban marsh]

Man i really didn’t saw this coming but… for context i m medium main from day one, i find this class the best team base class in game, for me at least. BUT … i never thought i m going to say this but bring back the old mg60 and lewis gun back…cause rn all or maybe 90% are running hammer, flamethrower, spear… chain you and one tap you….is not fare man for me to aim a weapon to control a recoil to empty a mag to take him down at close and he just 1 tap you and 315-350 dmg, them he either charge you or rpg you… and NO is not skill issues… is just stupid…. Now when l got their most wanted buff that is toxic a bit…. Medium feels like an empty shell… like the hole season feels empty, the TA is unbalanced, quick cash and bank it is just lights, world tour is not rewarding at all… the game feels stale and unfun to play at this point…. I might be wrong but i m 100 % sure i m not the only one who feels the same.

[spare nebula]

Unbalanced disgusting low skill broken weapons. Game is going no where. Nerf all the crutch trash maybe you survive a year more

[glass oak]

If we get team wiped in World Tour, please let us change our loadouts. Many a time our team simply can't counter another team's loadouts very well, and some wiggle room would be much appreciated.

respectfully, a well put together team should be able to handle anything

riot shields shouldnt be able to block your teamates from taking the cashout im so fcking mad rn i have lost so many times becouse i was protecting my teamate with it and it stopped them from taking the cashout

[grave drift]

how is ranked sbmm when ill vs a full stack of rubys with a full stack of plats. Game is complete shit

[lethal minnow]

I do understand, but when you call out an effective combo within their effective range cheap in a game where you can potentially face an entirely different range/skill set from triple light snipers to triple medium shotguns, that's where your criticism falls flat. This is the only game where you can face that type of challenge and actually learn something about yourself besides "aim good"

[crisp heart]

please add HUD SAFEZONE 🙏 PLEASE 🥺

[glossy wigeon]

Season 3 in this game has become so damn annoying. World tour was the worst possible decision if you ever wanted this game to thrive. No one asked for stupid terminal attack to be the ranked mode. You guys really dropped the ball and the game is even more dull and annoying than last season. Im tired of this crap. Goodbye

[autumn bison]

start adding penalties to the first people who quit games. You don't need to do it for follow up leavers, but almost all games I play have people rage quitting relatively quickly, ruining the game for the rest of their team.

[neon kettle]

hi the bug where one gets stuck on the loading screen is still present

[sage prism]

the amount of util in this game specifically designed to disable every single aspect of light's gameplay is fucking ridiculous. If you don't want light to be able to play with any fun loadout, then WHY EVEN HAVE IT IN THE FUCKING GAME. Against certain kits, and players with more health, more oppressive util, AND more damage (at least for any of light's fun loadouts), It's just impossible to win. Glitch traps only negatively impact light, taking away all survivability by restricting all movement that would allow light to avoid fatal damage and instakills, while all the other classes are just minorly inconvenienced. RPGs dealing almost your entire healthbar with no user input or braincells required whatsoever. Shotguns that do more damage and have more range, on characters with more health and survivability. Light has no redeeming features if you aren't playing like a total weenie. I want to have fun, not sit in a corner running invis shotgun like everyone else cause that's the only reliable way to win with this class. You encourage the scummiest playstyles on every single class, and that's why you've lost almost your entire playerbase. I want to love this game but you have to get your fucking shit together and stop bumbling around like a bunch of fucking crack addicts! This game could have been so god damn incredible, but you ruin it at every step. it's like you're trying to make it die

[thick sorrel]

You forgot to mention explosive mines. M and H have it, 1 mine almost kills a Light, glad they have 2 mines... It's so fun - you don't even hear that shit. Thank you embark for balancing Gadgets > Skill.

[eternal kayak]

I believe you misunderstand my angle. I have absolutely no problem with diversity, my issue is with the imbalance of performance required during certain engagements. I don't particularly hate the wench or anything I just think some engagements have an imbalance of effort required to succeed. I believe this is more crucial in the close range engagements and third parties that most of the game tends to end up in because it has a multiplied effect. To expound on the wench example (it's certainly not the only) if you are within the range of it which this game has a way of bringing players together 😉 using a gun one would have to dodge, reposition then reengage and hope an escape is near and it's not an objective in the open. Whereas all they have to do to succeed is aim in my general direction and spam attack with the spear and if you get grabbed at all it's essentially a guaranteed kill meanwhile I'm still waiting 1.7 seconds even if I'm hitting every shot. Not to mention the RPG to wench combo is insane.

[whole acorn]

Can you guys create a game mode where you just have to hold a vault in your hand’s n’ over time you gain second points n’ whichever team of 3 has the longest holding time wins

2 players have to help protect the one player from the other teams

[delicate marlin]

Please have daily contracts reset 1 am. I want to play now

[hazy hemlock]

I get the infinite loading bug more often since the last patch lol this game dude

[drifting atlas]

Terminal Attack ranked matchmaking is a butterfly killed by a boot, a raccoon finding only empty cans in a dumpster, consuming milk with a spoon, literally anything I can describe it. Every match, I'm met with people with different rank level, and one of them are below or unranked, and some of them are high ranked. It makes it much harder to comprehend and evolve my own skill and gameplay, and so as the unranked. I want to have a balancing matchmaking where everybody is almost the same rank in one match. maybe at least a range rank feature like Overwatch has like their competitive matches.

[glass oak]

Respectfully, switching weapons mid-round would make my solo queue experience a lot better while also adding more dynamic strategies and gameplay.

[autumn bison]

Light is the most played class, has plenty of lethal weapons. I'm not sure exactly what the fun playstyle you want that isn't viable is

[lethal minnow]

It is very reasonable for them to sacrifice having a consistent range weapon for a deadly melee. If you're fighting someone that you know for a fact can destroy you up close you should respect that. That's literally their only way to get kills. Now the RPG to wench is only as devastating if you lack the ability to read the gamestate you're in. If it isn't the wench then it'll be charge and slam through walls that you hide behind. At the end of the day, you have to play towards your strength and not theirs. Range. They literally can't fight back once they've exhausted their one shot range options. Hell melee gets easily shut down by a simple goo canister/grenade

[rough herald]

Throwing kinfe nerf pls, a weapon that doesn't have to reload should not do as much damage as other wapon let alone surpassed it

[paper hare]

I just had a match where the cashout was underground the whole match

[teal bear]

Here to reiterate that the new bankit was big step forward for the game and should be promoted more. Definitely a good introductory mode.

[quasi bridge]

Yall need to seriously fix Ranked because not only are console players ruining it but its so insanely unbalanced and every match ive gotten into has at least one afk and more than one person leaving when we lose 2 rounds

im literally mid match rn and 3 of my teammates left

[mossy hill]

I think outfits should be seperate from class/loadout selection. Keep loadouts and class selection as it is now but let us save some custom styles that can be selected irrespective of what loadout you choose or what class

[delicate marlin]

I agree. Not being to change loadouts adds nothing. A lot of the time i pick a bad weapon on a map and im stuck with it for the rest of the game

[quick coyote]

If the only way throwing knives are viable are by bunny hopping then its a bad design. Flat out.

[rustic birch]

there has been a glitch where youre stuck at the loading screen forever and cant play unless you close the game. pls fix this its been around since the beginning of season 3

[vale zephyr]

[obsidian sentinel]

Please sort something out about these random game crashes. Sick of losing in the final round because my game crashes and I can't do anything about it

[eager ivy]

Nah make them track and follow like the needler from halo

[cerulean birch]

throw it straight in the air and have it home to the nearest enemy

[fervent citrus]

S3 Health regen, guardian turret, glitch mine, & gadget changes are all great. Alongside some minor weapon tweaks for useability such as the KS-23.

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) & db is back to being able to 1 or 2-shot any class. Seeing triple db teams in WT now. A repeat of OB & S1.

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 & allows them to do a survivable point blank rpg.

What happened to the "long ttk" gameplay?

The CL40 was given a damage nerf, fire rate buff, & range nerf, 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 & will lose most duels if not careful. It counters L, mid to M, & weak to H. This change made it unable to fight heavies reliably at all. The pump rate & fire rate would also be considered as a nerf as due to it depleting the 4 rounds quicker & spending more time instead with the long reload. The linear explosion change made direct hits the minimum to deal any damage, as it's explosion range is so small, making it less forgiving. Might as well name it the slug shotgun 40.

In S2 ranked, despite it being a poor pick, I still brought it to plat. Despite the low dps, you need to play safely/area denial/insane movement & learn its trajectory for mid-long shots. Before the change, the fire rate, reload, & ammo was low but it was rewarding to hit direct hits. Now it barely tickles H or other M.

Overall. Didn't care about TA, but if core game & 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 & balance isn't fit for it. Most of the s3 patch felt like forgetting the balance work made during S1 & S2.

[rough storm]

whoever made ranked TA's score system is absurdly incapable/incompetent

[random oasis]

I know this is something weird and exagerated, but you REMOVE the team whipe, or at least do some changes for it not being so hard, i just dont feel like punishing even more a team for being eliminated is not correct and you should do something

[clever turtle]

If I could get an answer that would be great.
My friend and I just finished a ranked game teams were 165k to 120k we are on the higher ranked team and won 7-2.
I am 28k and he is 24k he's top of the leaderboard I gain 600 rank he gains 530?
This seems to be a pattern we've noticed while playing I rank up significantly more and lose significantly less than he does.
Is the ranked system broke?

[gleaming urchin]

Why do people still not load into games and have to restart please fix

[abstract sparrow]

The numbers on Steam Charts indicate that they are not doing a great job. Despite having all this data, they are not even close to their closest competitor Apex Legends. However, people like me, who actually enjoy the game and want it to succeed, see it from the players perspective, not from the developers' or the company's monetary perspective. We are the ones who play the game and have played other competing games. The ideas we share here, even if they might seem trivial, could be what saves the game from failing. So yeah in some cases, we actually do know better than the devs.

[quick coyote]

would actually go hard

[nocturne fern]

^

[abstract coyote]

I’m saying! Lights have 2 same abilities cloaking and vanishing bombs. Heavy’s have dome shield and basic shield. Medium is the only one without 2. Also medium gets 2 abilities taken from them in ranked no other class does. It would be a decent nerf to the game!

[hardy bridge]

add a weapon for lights thats a frozen disc of pee

[versed cloud]

Quit nerfing heavings lmgs into the fucking ground. It's turning every heavy into winch and sa1216 using chud

[marble creek]

Ya know, I don't agree with most people's ideas for gadgets on here... but this would be kind of awesome honestly.

[celest oak]

https://clips.twitch.tv/TolerantInterestingPresidentMrDestructoid-kyBrFLpT0r3HAB7C whoever said a direct hit with an rpg one shots a light is an absolute idiot

[hollow rock]

with the smaller weapons like 93r and v9s make the ads more visible

[orchid silo]

I think the game can learn a thing or two about making design that makes players.positive to one another like deep rock galactic, the finals isn't that toxic but it's the most toxic game I've played since I don't usually play shooters, but probably way less toxic than it's competition. It dissuades me from playing healer cause if you're not killing everyone people get mad at you even though I've died the least and keeping the dumbies alive 🥱 and am number 1 in every other stat. Something needs to be done or I'll just start stacking with friends cause at least they appreciate a support player

[hardy bridge]

it was before season 2, they nerfed the hell out of that rpg...shame

[round goblet]

Why should I suffer penalties when 2 of my teammates didnt even connect and 3 from our enemies are the same, so its basically a 4v3. I left the game early cause match alr is cancelled and people alr left then I saw the reconnect button and match still hasnt been cancelled for whatever reason. Now I reconned then got greeted with 30 min suspension? Sht whoever created this shthole buggy penalty, cant even suspend the right people.

Who’s dumbass said if you leave a ranked game after a certain amount you time it won’t even give you the option to join back the game is still going I can’t join back and it’s all bc my Wi-Fi shut off or someone hit me like who idea was that you dumbass now I’m about to lose 2k points like though every ranked game I have ever played it’s overwatch at number one for the worst ranked then it is your game this shit is horrible and wtf am I losing 2k points bitch give me my 1k or 700 or 500 point loss and give me a ban like wtf

[fallow blaze]

[crystal umbra]

Waiting for mid season update.

I think my problem is that I'm only playing the finals tbh.

It's my favorite game but it's like being in a relationship with someone and expecting them to COMPLETELY provide all of your needs. . . Pretty toxic.

Definitely the best game in my Library but I Definitely need to take a break sometimes or else I'll get upset.

[dusky portal]

Being able to cancel defibs with glitch traps/grenades/barrels could be a cool way to slightly nerf the defibs. It makes it so you cant just run in, defib, and get out. Requires actual brain power to get a fast res off

[feral bloom]

@oak flame @snow field @pseudo latch @bold vine lmk what y’all think about this

[oak flame]

I Dont wanna be mean atm

[remote drift]

I'm really tired of getting punished for disconnections due to the game crashing or bugging out. It's hard enough working up rank score in TA without getting put against ridiculously hard teams, but on top of that, constantly having crashes and server timeout issues that cause me to lose tons of RP and suspent my account for several hours is getting excessive. I have not intentionally left a game ONCE, and this is what I get. If I can't get some kind of workaround for this I'm uninstalling the game. It is extremely frustrating to deal with bugs like this and completely ruins the game for me.

[kindred crypt]

u gotta quit and reopen the game

[pseudo latch]

The problem I have with XvX cashout higher than 3v3 is that suddenly teams become way harder to truly get rid of. Fights drag out so much longer and when there’s only 2 minutes on a cashout, only the team who owns it can afford that. And of course the problem of Cashout already primarily is third partying being way too strong, so just making final round a guaranteed third party only makes things worse.

Ranked loadouts should not be random, in fact, they should be changeable. Cashout is dying for the ability to swap out parts of your loadout, counterplay belongs in ranked and it’s notably lacking in the finals’ ranked system.

[full thunder]

I think the ruby skin should have your leaderboard place on it, such as if ur #69 in ruby, you will have the #69 on it, just to show how limited the skin is for the top dogs of the game. Petition for this design ?

[rigid notch]

thanks. I do not appreciate this.

[pseudo breach]

Lol, yeah, fuck that.

Also, it's awesome getting stuck on a loading screen. It's a weird thing to lie about being fixed...

[thick sorrel]

Can we have a Bank it leaderboard?

[rough herald]

gg i can not complete the cirget

[glacial sierra]

SBMM git gud

[digital sinew]

I like terminal attack 🥰 I'm enjoying the slower pace, this game mode will teach you not to rush solo vs 3 like a brainless monkey, and to have a bit more coordination with your teammates 😉
Yes it's basically csgo, but none of the new games got original ideas so deal with it 🫠
Game got some bugs and crashes, none of them are game breaking
I just hope for less skins and more balance
Devs that focused on skins now are dealing with a dead game (paladins)

[smoky gust]

If we only nerf rpg, teams of mediums with defib and heals will be pretty much unkillable
If we only nerf mediums upkeep, rpg heavies will flatten whole teams with little you can do to push back against it
If we nerf both, light will have way higher survivability and dominate with their recently buffed weapons

All 3 of these factors are frequently complained about

If we nerf all 3 the complaints should stop, while keeping the game balanced, alongside reducing frustration and allowing for more interesting loadouts to be meta

[quick coyote]

Game breaking bugs fixed, proper ranked mode.

Hopefully some balancing to put all classes in their supposed role with Heavy being the Tank, Medium as Support and Light as Glass Cannon. Instead of Heavy having everything with the most health.

Buffing and fixing weapons that have been suffering since release like riot shield and dagger. Adjustment to sword and sledges active frames, adding multihits back to sledge and dagger.

Hopefully removing CC from the game, they're the complete opposite of fun gameplay and add nothing but frustration and should have never been in the game (Stun Gun, Winch kind of the new glitch mines)

[earnest sierra]

and if you say things like this you should know a lot of other things, like how shit is this feedback channel that gives 0 constructive feedback 95% is destructive and harsh and insults and other feedback are literally how stupid people are when people say "fix the optimization of the game" while this game is actually one of the most optimized UE5 game and it's great and i explained how and why at #1202523797643595818 but people still say the same shit that's total stupidity, when people just say revert season 3 changes and go back to season and ofc embark can't because they don't change between these seasons with a lever and some redstone attached somewhere and they just need to flip the switches like bro do you know how stupid this is, aside from all the fucking people who think they sit on a golden throne and come with all the idiocy and stupidity this world can offer and keep spaming the same message over and over again, or those who say Nerf This Buff that, they're talking like they own the devs or smth and keep bsing here, aside from the fucking assholes that straight up insult the devs, aside from how stupid are people who see any bug and never report it in the appropriate way for it to be fixed, i know how much you would like this game to succeed and i want that too i spent money on this game and i love it the most among any fps game but if people really want the game to become better they should know how to help, not like what is happening in here and call it "helping" IT'S NOT

[echo urchin]

Based.

[torpid quarry]

We should be able to choose the Emerald/Ranked skins for the weapons we actually use.

[proper barn]

Would like to see some balancing in TA this week. Specifically with the Sniper and Cloak

[hollow quail]

You know what else is interesting is that you can aim down sights with the sniper and the cloak, but you cant draw the bow while cloaked. I think it's because the cloak is removed when you left click, and so clicking to draw the bow at all removes the cloaking.

[uneven coral]

Are there be plans to make the World Tour "grind" less tedious? Currently I see that the World Tour takes a too long to reach the "actual" tour

Based on my calculations if we started grinding the world tour at the start of the season, 102 days, you'll be needing roughly around 3 Qualifications per Day.

If you don't guarantee Wins too much that may be less. But in reality an average player doesn't have too much time and have a lot of chances in actually wining even with the amount of skill.

[stuck sentinel]

This is by far the dumbest thing I've ever heard on this Discord 🤡
Riot shield is probably the worst medium weapon in the game

[frigid vapor]

Make some maps specifically for power shift. Not having mirrored maps gives one team a significant advantage. For example seoul one team has to go through the big glass building to win and the other doesnt.

I mean in my opinion none of the melee weapons should be in the game or as good as they are. Riot shields are annoying because you can't just throw down a gas or fire nade and expect it to kill the riot shield, you have to hope all your teammates look at his back and shoot it, or hope that enough of his swings miss while all your bullets hit, which is rare as fuck

[crystal umbra]

No . . .

just got stuck in an infinite laoding screen again so its not fixed?

Light main here. This is a bad take. Sorry. Light is the hardest class to play in the game. Respectfully, If you think playing like a weenie is the only way to play Light it's a "skill issue". Light can be incredibly dominant and should have the positional advantage 9/10 times.

[uneven coral]

Play as a Riot Shield if you think its strong, then you'll probably understand why this is a joke.

Can they track if players performance is proportionate to guns used?

[gritty owl]

sure, but in exchange, the riot shield user can literally do nothing while blocking. also, besides that, i'd argue its the worst weapon in the game

[red echo]

is this power shift? there is no sbmm in casual modes bro , not in any game afaik

@shrewd plank nah casual players would still touch it and i dont blame them , if they have fun sure keep it as casual gamemode nobody gives a shit , but making it the main ranked gamemode is a stupid move , not a single top player who plays TA ranked enjoys it , they just do it for the rewards , they would even spam power shift for the rewards , we all miss old cashout ranked

[shrewd plank]

If TA wouldn't be called "ranked" then noone would ever touch that cloned gamemode. Uniqueness was the strongest positive point for this game. **Bring back the old ranked. **

Nerf the bloody throwing dagger will ya? Its so fucking cringe

[viral raven]

May I know the problem I'm facing, the names of the contestant's friends, the names of the players like that?

[proven ibex]

You mean names are showing up as 'Contestants'. Then do this

Settings -> Hide Player Names-> Turn off

[echo urchin]

Keep the throwing knives how they are, but make it so the 1887 and ks32 never have to reload either.

Now everyone can spam fire!

[red echo]

heck why not lmgs and ars too? , fuck it , rpg too and cl40

[untold locust]

why so many bots in terminal attack? literally whole enemy teams of bots

[torpid sky]

📍 can u add a ping sound to text chat whenever someone sends a msg? it's not that complicated i believe

[long flame]

hear me out, geometry dash added gameplay record and replay feature = Stonks

imagine if The Finals add a replay feature like Counter Strike that records player coordinates and inputs.

[steel imp]

thoughts on a 93R buff?

Please anchor the sights of weapons to the center of the screen when strafing, crouching and jumping OR make the bullets actually go where the deviation is aiming to get rid of the 3rd party crosshair advantage. Your crosshair can be dead on someone and miss due to this deviation, yet for someone with a crosshair, it won't be an issue.

[stray pasture]

Can you implement some kind of ban system So i can choose to play with only mid an heavy? Im sick of solo light Players after like 8 matches in a row

[fickle linden]

Do make sure to report them!

[night bone]

Stop putting console players in the same lobby of pc players, at least for competitive mode...it's unfair

[pulsar quarry]

Turn your cross play off bro @night bone

[dry raft]

I think it's normal in normal game. We just don't care about MMR here
