[zealous robin]

This has been on my mind for a while now

Dual hatchets

a light melee weapon that can functioning as both melee and ranged. You can press M1 for melee attack, if you press M2 you can make it ranged mode (basically throwing it).

I don't know why, but it could be fun to see a weapon that work as melee and ranged. 🙏

[nocturne tendon]

Put out an quick patch to fix the Riot Shield hitbox, we shouldn't have to wait till next season

[high latch]

Please add customisation for controller response curves, not just presets. We also need a visual editor so we can see and shape the curve ourselves.

[solemn nexus]

Simple Features To Add/Fix
that most modern shooters have

• Sharpness filter slider costs virtually no performance
  (allows lower end pc users to run at a lower scaling resolution without loosing much if any visual clarity and gaining performance instead and some prefer more sharpness)

• Contrast, Vibrancy and Brightness sliders why are these not in the game?

• GUI Scaling issues havent had an issue like this in a while (when im playing on 1440x1080 stretched the gui in the equipment/class selection screen before the match starts is off the screen partially so I cant select the class I want to play unless I quickly go to native and back to my res

• More Apparent Ultimate uptime Im surprised this hasnt been improved
  (9/10 new players that I have played with myself included completely forget to utilize our ultimates because how lackluster the visual distinction is... my greatest guess to why is quite simple it is to the left of your default slot the weapon and you stay focused on your gadget cooldown timers since between them and the ultimate you utilize it the least this issue is nonexistent for lights dash because its so quick and is movement based and is extremely apparent on mediums dematerialization which especially when just starting out you might entirely forget about you had this is from a new players pov yes overtime you learn it etc but it needs to be improved)

[radiant lodge]

Jazz update when?

[lucid field]

riot shield is too strong.A weapon that can run while blocking bullets is really stupid and strong，damage like Cerberus shotgun 90≈99 and no need aim ，so what is the significance of Cerber's existence？

[last quest]

I would like the option to purchase a bundle with all the 125 MB "Virtual Extension" weapon skins in it.

[broken geyser]

Give us RANKED TOKENS
So for example - if I get ruby next season, I can still cash out the tokens to get previous season ruby skins
(Obviously not applying to tokens and banners that say the season number)

[light quarry]

smoke/thermal, riot shield, pike, winch claw/SA/shak are all too valuable for their skill floor and completely control the neutral game, they are all you see at the intermediate level (and above for the latter two) in ranked play

[small shadow]

embark plz fix rank system i am on 39k plat and got seeding 2 and there is only 99 plus on 2nd position and seeding 1 team is ruby team 50k rs all 3 what you guys literally expect us man ? i saw some twitch streamer they get 80-100 plus on ruby 52k what you guys think us what i am ?

[alpine summit]

Weapons and gadget Balancing need to change DESPERATELY in season 8 the past balance changes have been depressing. LH1 buff didn’t make players CARE (specifically the lights who main it and NEVER came back since the nerf) no one and I mean NO ONE cares about melee but melee players so let’s move on from it or just figure it out at this point. SOME (not everyone) people genuinely do not care about these melee balance changes. Furthermore it’s about time the assault rifles get more love and respect they DESERVE in order to have FUN and not just COMPETE in ranked. No weapon is that strong unless it’s burst or one tap Damage per shot. Show some more RESPECT to the Assault rifles next season. Respectfully

[crisp heart]

Please add hud safezone / hud padding / hud centering for ultrawide
Please add an option to allow us to keep hud constrained to 16:9 area
Please 😭☹😭☹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[young jetty]

I can’t speak for PC users but on console it is genuinely impossible to hit dash users consistently due to sensitivity.

Dual blades are probably the worst melee in the game rn and definitely need a rebalancing (NOT a buff)

Add a juggling animation for the dual blades!

There is definitely a wicked turret meta imo, APS turret not being countered by glitch grenade is definitely very ridiculous. One turret on its own is pretty bad but the more you stack them the more ridiculous they get.

Nerf evasive dash they should genuinely only have 1 dash, any more and it becomes by far the best specialization of any of the classes.

I’ve already talked about it but sword is actually ridiculous in its current state and desperately needs a nerf. Its combo with evasive dash is actually crazy especially against console players who literally can’t move their camera fast enough.

This is a huge one for me personally as a mainly melee user, a light with evasive dash COMPLETELY counters every single melee in the ENTIRE game shit is actually ridiculous. The only way to fight a dash light with a melee weapon is to use evasive dash as well which should not be the way it is. I’m not saying to nerf it into the ground but please add some kind of counter/option for melee users against dash lights

finally invisibility is incredibly inconsistent across all platforms… PLEASE make it consistent. It should absolutely not under any circumstances make fights rely entirely upon how much money your willing to spend on you gaming system. On ps4 it is GENUINELY invisible while on a newer console/PC it doesn’t even compare. This is by far my biggest gripe about the game in its current state.

P.s. I play all game modes and my opinion was formed by the entire game as a whole. Even if I only played game modes like power shift last time I checked it’s still a game mode in the finals so they should balance things with all the modes in mind.

Also add goblins to the finals

[placid agate]

please try to make less weekly and daily challenges
not everyone can play every day and every week

[past viper]

Finals - Can we please add something to ranked that when a teammate quits mid round/a ranked game finishes with less than 3 people, that the players who were left in the round are not penalized? I must have lost 10k ranked points this season due to people quitting mid round in ranked or purposely nerfing. Insane.

[solar garnet]

fix riot shield hitbox it pmo sm

[fleet timber]

I hate the guy who comes up with these quests
Why I should trying to complete fucking quest that depends on luck
please asking 1000 times make some rerolls on quests or don't make annoying quests depends on luck
I have quest from the mid of the season and I don't complete it yet and I very frustrating every game when you see this quest don't complete
for example "interrupt opponents who are stealing your team's cashout or interfering with your team's decryption at the terminal, 5 times" I have only 3/5 but this quest from the mid of the season or it broken or delete this shit pls or give rerolls pls

[thorny lynx]

Just run Light with Nullifier and wait for them to start stealing. This is an EXTREMELY easy contract to complete, even if you just have casual daily play.

[calm steeple]

yeah extremely easy my *** ass, 55 games in and I'm also still at 3/5. man this comment pisses me the hell off of course it is from a TTV. if you want the opinion of somebody who ACTUALLY does casual daily play: its bad. too situational, too buggy. terrible. also, like 5 attempts that didn't even count for no reason, bugged arse challenge. please please PLEASE RETIRE THIS CHALLENGE OR I WILL ERASE THE GAME AND UNRECOMEND IT TO MY FRIENDS AFTER THAT COMMENT IM NO LONGER BEING PEAcEFUL ABOUT IT

[rose basin]

I have feedback for the feedback section, i wish you could vote up or down peoples takes, sometimes they say soemthing that really speaks for a lot of players and i want to show my support for what is being said. obviously i think there should be a limit on what emote to use since it can be source of bullying or shitting on someones take for being unpopular

[onyx crystal]

RANKED IN OCE IS BACK ALIVE THANK YOU EMBARK

[crystal nebula]

we should have a finisher that decapitates light mains while they violently scream and use their vocal box as a whistle if we are heavy class ( im asking you to nerf the damn m11) n

[fiery osprey]

Suggestion: Add a gamemode similar to head-to-head/final round, but with 2 teams of 5 or even 6 players. I think there would be a multitude of benefits that could come from a mode like this.

More new player friendly: Quick cash can be quite overwhelming for a new player due to the constant third partying. Reducing the number of teams to 2 would make it significantly easier for new players to understand the objective. Furthermore, the larger team sizes mean that there is less of a reliance from the performance of the individual, creating a more casual experience.

Larger team size: The larger team size gives people who want to play the finals with more than 2 of their friends another option if they dont want to play powershift, tdm, or terminal attack.

If a mode like this was added, I would replace terminal attack (lets be honest who tf plays TA) and I could even see it becoming the main casual mode of the finals over quick cash.

[topaz token]

I would love to see a stats page for our winrates for each class and team composition each season. And also to be able to pull up recent game stats in the menu

oh my god YES
im not the only one 🙏
i have that every other time my game crashes or i close it manualy thorugh steam

[verbal cairn]

daily reminder 50dmg pike is not balanced. like it does not make any sense why it should be at 50dmg. at least give lh1 50dmg too then so i have something to counter it. maybe its balanced i low ranks but from plat onwards its just nonsense. and at lower level it barely gets used more then the ar's. Also nerf controller aim assist a bit https://medal.tv/games/the-finals/clips/kXE5Ir2OM8iEkiF9g?invite=cr-MSw5VWMsMzUyMTM2NDkx&v=30

be nice if I could interact with the user interface on xbox. opening world tour and closing out of the windows stops all inputs on xbox series x

[split mist]

Game is an unbalanced mess and Matchmaking is horrible.

[grave bane]

Can bipods be functional please. Like Bf1 perhaps

[scarlet jackal]

Embark, please consider split playerbase by input device / console based, I'ts sooo boring playing with a PC lobbies full of recoil scripters and wallhackers.

[round hornet]

Reset game state to the end of season two (with nerfed model of course) and then go from there.

[quartz dirge]

lol you guys get arguably easier and more accessible cheating devices than pc players

[drifting schooner]

The rate of fire and scope options are part of the balance

Please Embark fix this gas mask so it fits with hats and helmets🙏

[silk notch]

Can we get a free for all mode aleast for custom games?

[opal tide]

I'd love to see a hub where I can customize my weapons, and as soon as I create a new Character the weapon will be the same as in this hub. So I don't have to to create it with Skins, stickers etc again. Just a minor thing, but would love it.

Like I want my granades to look always the same for example.

[stray wing]

Please buff spear

[shadow harness]

There is a glitch, not sure if it is on console only, where you are unable to navigate the main menu when returning to the lobby sometimes, and it leads to you having to restart the game. It’s very annoying 😭

[flat nest]

Good morning , since this is the gaming feedback section , the last two weeks I’ve been experiencing a glitch where I wouldn’t be able to scroll though the home to change contestant, change game mode ,etc.

pike -556 hip fire ( I have my reticle as a circle just to make sure I’m not mis speaking ( it doesn’t register shots) towards enemy’s , explosives … windows .. 😅

[lavish shard]

100% agree with you Add option crossplay xbox/play only

[placid stream]

Fix shit matchmaking, thanks

[tepid zinc]

Does the cl-40 need to be as strong as it is?

@sterile canopy worse players? Uh it 2 shots lights so team comp is meaningful more so than "worse" or "better" players..

Its just annoying

[sterile canopy]

well, it's only viable against lower ranking players. So kinda yeah. It would be nice if it could be made less effective versus worse players and more effective vs better ones, but its weapon identity makes that quite tricky to do.
That's true, but due to light's evasion that only really applies close up, as due to its velocity it becomes rather avoidable further away with dash's prevalance. The CL-40 seems to get almost filtered out by the time you get to platinum level players, as it only really has anything going for it against players who do not attempt counterplay.

[spice dagger]

Shield noobs in every lobby in platinum. So bs

[graceful snow]

can we pls change up the spawns of the attack team on cashouts? its way too preticable rn

[half cipher]

Hear me out but can you at least jsut give shield/dualsword a Health indicator? so they wont abuse annoying unkillable medium strats,

• nearly almost impossible to kill them.

Way too much damage.

[outer jetty]

"Buff the pike"

way to less damage.

[pseudo isle]

we should be able to see which player got a penalty after we reported them

[jaunty vapor]

Please nerf the pike it's too good and I don't want to play it

[delicate notch]

the camp spot on SYS Horizon is just awful, snipers always sit there on powershift and on other modes ppl just hide up there, unless you have the right gadgets or abilities you have no way to get to them. Suspended on Monaco is also still absolutely miserable, I never have fun playing on that, just sighing whenever I have to see that I will have to play this mess. make the structures so they're like in Bernal, where it's actually fun to play on, imo.

[plucky zodiac]

I think it's time to redo the overview video for ranked, since there's still old scotty voice, 3 knockout rounds in the background and goal of 20k$

[stoic remnant]

Fix the matchmaking, it's a totally mess, I've seen other games with better matchmaking than this one
I love The Finals! But the matchmaking is making me hate it lately

[drowsy rose]

I can't make progress in a contract on CNS and have all else completed. The contract is the 5 interruptions on terminal or cash drop

[alpine summit]

The small dot within that circle reticle has to be on the enemy target 🎯 in order to hit hipfire up close. This takes practice over time with the pike hip fire can feel different when it comes to 1 shot weapons just go to practice range and practice the hipfire on a moving target to understand the pike more

[analog fog]

riot shield is fully broken right now. its disgustingly easy to wipe entire teams effortlessly. been running it the past few days to see what its all about and its honestly not even fair to other teams. Needs to be revisited for sure. Also, Rpg is basically a suicide weapon thats more likely to kill you than your target. I understand heavy being rebalanced after season 1, but this feels like a gadget that hasn't been touched since then. Seriously should consider making it less punishing to the user

[floral scaffold]

there should be leek skins for the dual blades for no reason in particular

[quick coyote]

can we have a match history and replay system?? i think this has been asked before

[tidal blaze]

Your server badge betrays your intentions

[rancid pine]

Light class is the embodiment of everything annoying about fps game,
Sniper you cant get close to ✅
Instantly able to leave combat as soon as somebody shoots them ✅
Fastest movement speed ✅
Best weapons ✅
Best life regen ✅
Hardest target to hit ✅
Best specialization ✅

no wonder new players uninstall when they get run down by lights that kill them in 0.1s

[gaunt coyote]

Good morning 🌞

[modern bramble]

the finals is such a good game. the game itself is so cool but i also love how the story is told and the idea of sponsors. really neat stuff!

anyways pleeeease embark let me see the contestants’ bellies. we know heavy is rocking an 8 pack, let us see it! we know by now light has a little bit of a fupa, let us see it! i think the game could also benefit from happy trails customizations. if the finals wants to see major player influx, we need to sexualize the contestants.

[glad pike]

give me my 500 rs back for the server crashing bruh

[quick coyote]

make the contestants less ugly 🙏

[pale aspen]

Lights have 150 HP. Light mains spend hundreds of hours to master movement, gadgets, rotations, weapons dmg and so on. If you can't bear to land 5 to 7 Fcar bullets on a light to kill them I don't get what you complain about. Get good mate. Not everyone likes to play a slow class that takes ages to climb stairs or jump from a roof to the other.

People like you are the reason for almost every light weapon being nerfed at some point or the other.

Stop complaining and put the work in to counter lights if they don't let you sleep during the night at this point👍 👍 👍 👍 👍👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍👍

You should be able to “call back” your jump pad after use like the healing emitter and turret

[jovial osprey]

you know what would be more effective than spending your time creating some bullshit hand holding system for new players heading into season 8? fixing the bugs that PLAGUE this game so their first experience with it isn't saying ,"wow this game is a POS that borders on unplayable" How about you get serious about the cheaters, I can guarantee you a majority of people have their first match of TDM and say "wow this game has a ton of cheaters I'll go play something else"

[cyan torrent]

plz give sword its freedom back 😔

[ivory crypt]

Several ideas to further cement The Finals' status as the greatest FPS in history:

1. Add AI commentary. The current voice acting is solid but too monotonous. Incorporating well-trained AI commentary would not only enrich gameplay but also generate unprecedented attention, establishing a unique hallmark for Vanos: the first game ever to feature real-time AI commentary!
   �2. Optimize the equipment menu. Currently, action wheels, skins, etc., require separate setup for each character, which is very cumbersome. A one-click copy function would save significant time. Additionally, allow skin changes in the death screen and pre-game equipment selection interface.
2. Add facial customization. While not essential, this greatly increases player freedom and immersion. Combined with the action system, it opens up tons of possibilities. btw, mouse sensitivity drops every time you perform an action, making it hard to turn around and see yourself. This needs fixing.
3. Customizable menu backgrounds. Having to endure a sponsor banner for an entire season is unbearable! Players should be able to customize backgrounds, with sponsors confined to a corner.

[raven garnet]

can you buff the medium and heavy class? please? cause as a heavy main that solo Q's with how strong you have lights no one plays anything else. so im always with two lights. FORCING ME TO PLAY LIGHT cause i never have help or a team.

[foggy fjord]

any one is having issues with lag or something? because holy crap the amount of lag on ranked is ridiculous

[ebon birch]

give us emerald diamond and ruby tokens for Gods sake embark, let us choose for what wepon we want those skins, I'm sick of waiting 7 seasons and not getting any crystal sa12 skin

[iron jetty]

day 6 of finals on mac please i need it

[sonic spoke]

No

[pure vine]

Heavy Weapon idea: GAUNTLETS
They hit really hard. they can block bullets in FOV but not deflect them. While blocking you canbarely walk but can turn at normal speeds. maybe punches can be charged up.

[tacit whale]

New weapon for heavy could be a Mace that does arena damage like the sledge

[fallow epoch]

Buff dagger

[subtle robin]

[shadow elk]

My number one wish right now is for the Music playlist feature to actually include all the songs in the entire OST from each season, and to let you toggle specific songs on and off.

[kind escarp]

Nerf defibs by removing spawn protection.

[thick sorrel]

No need to improve first time player experience, because you can't keep them anyway.
Matchmaking and Balancing is still bad.
And You removed Bank it - The only Game Mode you can enjoy Solo.

[crisp heart]

2 goo grenades is 1 too many, the amount of people using demat + goo grenade to be absolute cowards and just run away during fights making it impossible to chase them is astronomical

[solid spindle]

not even a 100K event can revive this stupid game. the developers really have broken this to its core.

[keen karma]

RANK EMBLEMS ON CHEST FOR GOLD AND PLAT

FIX RANK

• Implement rank protection in ranked matches based on active participation time to address teammate disconnects. Rank gain or loss would be scaled proportionally to the portion of the match a player was present and contributing and a minimum active-time threshold to prevent abuse.
• Rank protection for consistent wins, where points earned over multiple matches or longer games are partially “banked,” so a short loss doesn’t wipe out all progress. OR temporary protection when joining a new bracket
• Do stricter matchmaking system in ranked to pair players i.e., ruby to ruby, diamond to diamond, plat to plat. If a match cannot be filled within 1 minutes, gradually relax the restrictions to maintain reasonable queue times.

[plain elbow]

fix the game im getting less than 100 fps (avg 60-80) after latest update 🤮
this is y less that 100k ppl still play ts

[dawn valve]

V9S needs a longer min falloff range. It's fucking abysmal to fight mediums and heavies, especially heavies who have massive advantage close range these days.

And before people start bitching, its currently a 10 METER min range and 15 MAX. I just want to increase it to 15-20 or 17.5-22.5. Hell even 12.5, literally ANYTHING. The vast majority of fights occur outside 10 meters

ALSO YOUR FUCKING LEAVING TEAMMATE SYSTEM DOESN"T WORK. I STILL LOSE RS WITH A LEAVER IN RANKED.

[storm tide]

make sword great again

[hollow glacier]

this!!!!!

[hybrid silo]

Why can’t this community accept the fact that light is the most ANNOYING class in this game very closely followed by heavy.

If light is so ridiculously difficult to “master” why does everyone rage swap to it in quick cash? I know that from this point on you will ignore everything I write because I am not writing about ranked but I have reached diamond every season I wanted to solo and light was still the most annoying class to face despite fewer people playing it. Plus rank doesn’t matter until another team can decide if you go through or don’t regardless of your skill so please don’t start with the “well in high elo🤓”.

So in QC everyone I go against switches to light and DB and also dash to the other side of the map when shot ONCE after I kill them 2 or 3 times and if that is not enough they also switch to smoke and thermal just to make sure that anyone who isn’t a light doesn’t see which is ANNOYING. Now everyone loves to bring up that explosives disperse smoke and to throw gas into the smoke etc. and these are still not good enough counters if I want to stick to medium. Unless I switch to CL (I don’t want to shoot at the ground sorry) I get 1 nade against 3 smokes(hmm not ideal). If I throw gas into the smoke the light does this insane thing where he dashes behind the gas so he doesn’t die like a moron and I still can’t see him. The only option I have is to switch to heavy(he counters everything with how op he is) or light if I want to SEE in an FPS.

This happens 95% of the time in QC so I don’t understand how anyone can disagree with the fact that light is the most ANNOYING class in this game let alone say that it’s the most difficult and requires hundreds of hours to “master”. Just play like a rat, shoot everyone in the back, spam dash when shot and congrats you are a diamond light player.

[dense escarp]

stop letting anyone rank up together. than that 3rd person gets hurt by being with people with much worse rank.

[fleet socket]

You know medium also have motion sensor right? You can't hide in something if detected

[sterile canopy]

this is a minor map issue.

[twin oriole]

just came to tell you how much i despise you for the three mine kill contract. thats all

[cerulean birch]

Pyro mines are free kills

[covert sun]

The lovely thing about the finals is that there is always a counter.

[young flare]

classic room temp iq take “every class other than mine is objectively annoying and if I don’t know how to counter a strategy or class it’s objectively broken and annoying and all the people who play it should be banned”

[tranquil mantle]

And the counter is always running sledgehammer

[tender canopy]

I don't know how to word this or if I'm right but i feel that (if it does affect this). If you soloq into ranked and have 2 ppl duo queuing and it's like someone who's ur rank and then someone who's an entire tier below you (like diamond and plat or plat and gold) that the system that gives you less points for queuing with someone much lower than you should not apply to the soloq'er. Again i don't know if this already exists or not i just giving my thoughts.

[verbal cairn]

Pike and winch are truly cancerous creations and i hope the designers and balance team of it will never have a good night rest and they will hit their toe against a corner. Servers still terrible optimisation has been left behind great experience. And matchamaking is the biggest tumor i have ever seen especially ranked or if i had to describe it in one word KANKER

literly get matchmade against 2 rubies helping farm up a alt acount in head to head awesome

[sharp pawn]

YES

[grand crow]

If there aren't any new specs please at least add interesting gadgets 🙏
Idc a whole lot about weapons, we've got plenty

[dark niche]

goo just got a nerf what?? the problem isnt goo, its not even demat, its the fact the other medium specs suck atm

also the amount of people just saying ,,game sucks" is crazy
in WHAT world is this good feedback .. how are they going to improve the game w this

[loud sinew]

guys 4 REAL.ADD SBMM IN ALL MODES WHAT IS THIS EXPERIENCE

[hazy orchid]

I don't think it's a room temp take. Every class has some annoying things like Pike, Winch, Demat etc. But light has so much unfun stuff to go against and you see it in the community feedback but also when people try to introduce some new people to the game.

[sonic arrow]

Make pike and v9s play more around getting frequent headshots like their DMR/handgun counterparts

v9s plays like a semi-auto smg while pike plays like a long range semi auto assault rifle, so lessening the visual recoil, lowering the damage and increasing the headshot multipliers to 2x should fulfill the skill expression method these weapons both desire, considering the fact that they fit in with full automatic playstyles for some reason, hurting their identity.

adding more sights for both guns (pike especially) would help with this as well

[mossy mural]

So Im 25k RS and I get paired with not only a 20kRS but a 17k RS teammate. We lose then my ranking goes down

[tawdry wyvern]

How does everyone feel about fighting teams that heavily use goo? Or even using goo yourself? If anyone feels like its too strong, should we allow certain classes to counter it better? For example heavy could break one goo ball with a single melee hit, Medium in 2 hits and light in 3 hits. Or the heavys primary weapon would break goo faster and such. Or have explosive weapons and gadgets have a stronger affect on goo.

[vagrant lake]

please rework winchclaw already please it's more broken than the prior stun gun

[opal herald]

they need to add a button to “coin yourself” at any point during the match (especially in final round) because in high level metas staggering is a popular mechanic and it’s total BS

[safe ravine]

I totally agree with this one. I love goo (don't get me wrong on this one), it's such a unique mechanic. But it is SO SO SPAMMED it's getting very irritating to play against.
It is constantly played. And like you said, always running away and getting a safe evasion. There's no way to catch up a guy who just used 2 goo barriers on you.

It really should be nerfed to the ground. Skilless gadget and OVERUSED/ABUSED

Idk if its a spec, but I want a variable grenade. (Think every nade, but you select one type of nade, and can be toggled as needed.

[gritty jetty]

there has never been a light meta. people play light because they want quick kills to add to their youtube montage that'll get 3 views
light is the weakest class on its own

[verbal panther]

Yeah but it is also fun to play light I feel like the health is butt but I mean it's a good class but I agree there is no meta for it. I see people use m11 to much

[floral dawn]

Why is fart censored

[timber pulsar]

We have reached a point In the game where most weapons (except maybe a few) are playable, as well as gadgets and specs. Now that the balancing has been rounded out for the most part - it’s crucial for The Finals to add something completely new to the mix of play styles, especially for those of us who are long time players. We haven’t seen a new spec since winch claw and I don’t think it is a controversial idea that the community is craving a new special. I think it’s very unfortunate that light hasn’t had a new spec added ever.

[pure arrow]

Cool idea, could we get like a before and after at the end of a match? Showing off how the map changed (how much was destroyed lol)

[simple ether]

There is an insane amount of cheaters in this game. Especially on the weekends. I thought Apex was bad but my gawd does this game take the cake. Its actually getting unplayable anymore.

[dire scaffold]

😂

[raw thicket]

Light is arguably the strongest class rn, but not for any actual reasons that most players complain about in this channel like dash , sword , dagger or double barrel. Light is arguably the strongest because of glitch grenades literally winning entire team fights PLUS how violently overturned 93r is PLUS gateway allowing the rest of their team to travel the map safely.

-dont let people use riot in ranked, it's really toxic and as a Heavy player it's really so annoying to play against. I play shak it's useless. They just push like crazy and you can't get a shot on them.
Ranked should be competitive not toxic.
Reduce solo queue penalty please.
Other than that the game is good.
But riot shield is really annoying. I swear to god I lost so many ranked matches to this stupid weapon. I can't believe you allow this stupid weapon in ranked. For Christ sake ranked is already toxic with third parties and the stupid matchmaking.
I fight ruby players since I am in gold elo.
So please don't make it more toxic and not fun by adding these stupid weapons to the game.
Keep it in the game but don't let people use it in ranked.
Please please please.
Hammer, sword. Dual blades, spear, dager. All of these are skill and I can shoot them while they are attacking me. Riot just going towards right with his left protected and I can't do anything to them. It's really ridiculous.

Current ranked experience
Smurfs, cheaters, unfair matchmaking, third parties.(I am okay with all of this), but then embark comes and starts thinking how can we make the experience more toxic, let's buff riot shield.
Please remove this stupid weapon from ranked.

[thorny elbow]

Bro riot shield sucks people can shoot through the shield with the Fcar and it pisses me off since it’s the only counter for annoying lights

[cursive flame]

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but especially for new players with less unlock credits, I think you should be able to try all sights in the practice range. 300 vr is a bit much when you can't test them out first.

[thorny lynx]

I would say not rush directly in above the point they were watching. Maybe try a flank or coming from a different angle?

[hallow oar]

Sword clamp to 80 degrees or remove clamp and Multihit and revert damage

[tall estuary]

replays would be cool

[limber temple]

Propeller hat please I beg thee finals devs

[crystal umbra]

Instead of allowing mouse and keyboard on console why not just introduce console only crossplay...

[novel folio]

i'm twenty elo away from diamond then on my rank up i go against s3,4,5,6 rubies and derank like i'm not even diamond why am i fighting rubies

[worldly thunder]

how is this clip an example of someone cheating? Light was going in a straight line on a flat surface, and pike only needs 3 shots to kill a light

[tranquil galleon]

AND PLEASE FIX DAGGA, maybe a balisong too

[rapid stream]

Pike is literally not an issue rn because uhhh uhmmmmm uhhh it uhhhh uhhmmmm ummmm

[terse furnace]

love it

[topaz roost]

lmao stop playing light because you're not good enough. Easy. I don't have this problem as a heav 🤷

[sterile perch]

We really need a centered hud for 32:9 monitors. It is extremely annoying having my heath bar on the edge of my screen and I have to crank my neck all the way to the left to see my health or all the way to the right to see my ammo. The hud needs to be fixed to a 21:9 area in the middle of the screen. This is a very common thing for most games. Please. Please look into this

[quartz folio]

1st I must ask what is your definition of toxicity because a weapon can’t be toxic unless it sprays toxic gas… toxicity is like t-bagging or getting mad at your team calling them slurs or trash. Riot shield is just niche weapon that is fun to play just like cl40 and has counters against them. It just comes down to a skill issue at the end of the day. Now dash in my opinion needs to be reworked.

[sonic arrow]

Maybe it's because a heavy has over double the health of a light, AND SHIELDS.

Regardless of how this man played, pike is still busted. Doesn't take a genius to see it

[limber sundial]

this game blows embark you better fix it

[quartz glade]

!~Please Embark~!
More game events in World Tour, permanently add the reworked Dead go Boom and Kaiju events to it, new events is fun in world tour. More double barrel events too as a world tour event. Lets get crazy!
Review the grind for world tour. Getting to the second round feels like it should reward a touch more. I feel like i've played so many games this season and world tour shouldn't be as grindy as it is if it's the more casual version of ranked. Yes i win here and there but man... i'm burnnning out OR...
🪙 Change world tour rank progression total cash extracted instead of points, feels like it better matches the whole Finals lore! Money extracted goes brrrrr
🔫 Rewards for world tour, give users a token that they can use to redeem a specific season reward rather than it being set per tier and then you can go to a shop and select which ones you want
🌟 More signature abilities for each class. Buff Turret. Buff Heal beam. Feels like demat is just so good.
💯 Let us view the history of our Summary of matches, i can never remember who I played with, at least like the last 10 or something
Have a stats per season rather as well as our overall stats and per class
🎙️ Separate that 3rd in game announcer from the contestant voice lines in the settings, i really don't want to hear him repeat his things so often please. I want to hear the contestants, i don't want to hear him, the 2 main announcers are great.
Let us see other players spinning or emoting in the lobby
Let users emoji react to messages in this #game-feedback channel

[dawn valve]

Things to be nerfed:

Pike - 49 damage or 20-30% lower fire rate
Winch - remove stun, reduce range, create proper hitbox, prevent pulling through walls, this gadget is absurdly broken and has been left unfixed
93R - Too much damage and accuracy for huge range. remove two tapping lights
SHAK - Reduce fire rate
Demat - Give a brief moment of indication BEFORE a wall becomes dematted. Its overused and far too effective in literally every situation.
Pyro Mine - @cerulean birch You're right they are, you should be limited to 1 pyro mine. No gadget should one shot lights like that.
M11 - Effective range is WAY too far. Weapon didn't nee a buff. Reduce range.
Riot - I don't even know what to change just change it, way too much damage blocking

Things to be buffed:

Spear - Fix the hit reg range
V9S - Please just a LITTLE more range goddamn, 10 meters is insane. The M11 outshoots V9S at 15 meters, wtf
Flashbang - Make it actually useful again please

Tweaks:

Smoke + thermal or worse smoke + prox mine is INCREDIBLY broken. There is no way to disperse smoke, and you are NOT finding a prox mine in the smoke, the lines literally don't extend to the mines they disappear in the smoke.

Give us a way to TURN OFF halftime music, I can't hear footsteps for like 5 seconds and those can be vital.

Also your ranked system is already garbage, but you claimed to add a system to protect us from leavers only for that system to just straight up not work. Thanks.

Once again, you claim to have all this usage data, please actually use it.

[lapis basin]

The hackers in this game in ranked are INSANE…

[pliant whale]

I should not have to play with leavers. I should also not have to play with level 14 aimbotters. Fix your shit Embark this cheating is blatant

[fringe siren]

Mines,winch,sledge,anti grav, charge and slam, flamethrower,goo gun, no weapon is toxic just play smarter

[white elbow]

Genuine question, if Ranked Score adjustments only happen in Ranked when cheaters get banned, and rewards are based off your peak during the season(for wt and ranked), why not give WT rewards as you reach emerald 1/2/3/4?

I can understand a system for revoking items in someones inventory might require testing or might currently only be possible for a dev to do manually on a case-by-case basis, but wouldnt that not be a problem for World Tour since your rank doesn't go down(to my knowledge) even if cheaters are present?

Additionally, is adding a skin revoking system to the Ranked Score adjustments really THAT hard to do, all things considered? I imagine it would be pretty on-par with the previously discussed "ranked token" system when it comes to difficulty to implement and test and i think it would sort of patch a rough spot in playtime.

Currently once you reach Emerald 1 and/or Diamond 4 you have no reason to play any more during the season unless you are interested in Ruby. However, if i got my rewards instantly I would be much more encouraged to continue playing with my new skin, to show it off to other players or my friends, or maybe try to hit some clips with the skins. I would also get a sort of instant gratification that my hard work finally paid off. I would still be very interested in playing the new season to see whats new, try out the new ltms, and grind out the new WT/Ranked skins for that season so I think it might be a reasonable way to boost player retention.

Equally I might be entirely incorrect and it might be something extremely difficult to implement in the way The Finals currently handles the players inventory, which would mean a total rework of the system and not worth Embark's time. 🤷

[polar shell]

THE CHEATING IS KILLING THIS GAME RN, WORST EVER

[jagged walrus]

Do something about smoke already it’s so aids

[valid solar]

use explosive to clear them

[swift ruin]

Nerf the double barrel shotgun, it’s insanely broken and is just free kills. I will abuse this gun until it’s nerfed

[crisp heart]

we need:
-orf pet (preferably with a cel shaded look or even a 2d billboarded look since he is cartoon would be awesome)
-orf whiskers face paint
-orf deagles skin (maybe just a reskin of the nerf skin)
-orf plushie launcher mgl

[keen tartan]

Throwing knives are bad...

First, your servers can't handle them due to the physics, so when you throw one at somebody, it's inconsistent (not tournament ready).

Second, it's a high-risk weapon that mostly requires close-range combat, yet it still underperforms compared to weapons that allow long-range combat with little risk.

[hoary gate]

I never see anyone bring this up but there’s a bug where voice chat just straight up doesn’t work after transitioning to the main menu after a game. The only fix is for everyone to disable voice chat and re enable and some people don’t know about it. This combined with when in a game the text chat on PlayStation closing after any transition (like a squad wipe or respawn) makes it really hard to even fix without just stopping everything and going afk to take care of it. Please fix voice chat and text chat. Idk if this is a problem on pc. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

[pliant lichen]

It is happening on PC as well. Was introduced this patch or last one. I'm pretty sure.

[jaunty tulip]

why is there a auto grab zipline thing remove

[untold haven]

incredible stuff

[winged hawk]

KS-23 feels much better currently in terms of effect of this, but is a little awkward to use while reloading. Due to the fact that it's one of the few shotguns that's ideal to aim down sights with to tighten its spread, it can feel very weird when you need to reload and need to fire a follow-up shot as soon as possible.

Oftentimes when I'm reloading the weapon, I have to fire from the hip and pray that my shot lands. It seems strange that this weapon, which is so focused on precision compared to other shotguns, is unable to aim down sights while loading. It would be nice if it did - it'd feel less finnicky and a bit more intuitive.

[karmic surge]

yo is it just me or are ranked spawns/ranked in general screwed rn

[rancid tree]

You don't like spawning 160 meters away lol

[vernal cradle]

I'm just gonna say it
this game needs kill replays

[verbal bane]

I'm generally not one to complain about stuff because I really love this game, but...

The busted Riot Shield hitbox needs to be fixed.

I can be shooting at a Riot Shield user from behind them and it still bounces off the hitbox.

[rain epoch]

Riot Shield needs a nerf like yesterday. The fact you can run sideways and just literally block every single thing thrown at you is insane. It is literally blocking winchs just by existing.

It's legit in every lobby, whats the point of even having a right click block, when it just auto blocks for you. The hit box is literal trash, there's literally zero way to punish them.

It boggles my mind even more that you buff the attack speed and damage too.

The block mechanic while not right clicking needs to be removed completely, let them move faster while holding right click and thats more balanced. But that hitbox as is now is literally the most broken thing I have seen in this game. Worse then nukes.

[hybrid silo]

When did I write that it’s OP? It’s just extremely ANNOYING and BORING to only fight 6 lights with smoke, thermal and db who run away every time you shoot at them. If being a literal raid boss fighting 2v6 matches every time isn’t ANNOYING without being able to see I don’t know what is.

@young flare I literally listed every “counter”medium has to this and explained why they are not good enough, if you don’t think everyone running away from you as soon as you shoot at them and them having the ability to see through smoke which you can’t do as a medium isn’t ANNOYING then good for you. I think if I have to switch to another class because of something another player uses classifies as annoying that’s all I wrote. Also heavy is the most op and broken class in the game cuz it has the best AR, the best pistols and the best specialisations and gadgets as well as the most health and these are facts. I can kill them it’s not about that it’s about the fact that they are ANNOYING to fight against especially as a new player

[tepid spruce]

I am once again asking and praying
Please update the plat sticker
It looks black and grey and closer to silver then plat 🙏

[hallow oar]

EMBARK REMOVE CLAMP & MULTIHIT ON SWORD AND REVERT DAMAGE TO S1 AND REVERT SUPERLUNGE DAMAGE REMOVAL

[silent musk]

I feel like model could have a tiny fire rate buff. as a treat LOL

But fr tho, ive dealt with model meta (eugh) but even when Im hitting cracked meat shots with intense movement, it feels clunky. Like its just slightly too slow. Like 3-7% change (broad range, i know) just so it can be a bit more forgiving. In a game and meta with a lot of weapons that have crazy margin for error, idk itd be nice for Model to not be so fatal on a whiff. Bow main here btw so i should know about weapons with little margin for error 🫠
playing with numbers for this weapon is insane and every other balance patch theres a change to it in some way. its just a weapon that teeters so much on how powerful it is. Medium's shotguns are so wild to balance it seems LOL

[rocky mason]

it would be great if there some sort of solo queue protection; a system that pits solo players against other solo players to avoid unfair matchmaking!

Much love!

[urban hatch]

allow us to give players + / - Rep and and see that rep on their profile

[cold bolt]

make grav cube counter smoke by dispersing it upward (and by extension ig gas too?)

[odd cedar]

ONLY????? 😭 😭 😭 THE CL40 EXISTS IF YOU NEED A NO SKILL COUNTER, BUT OTHERWISE, JUST SHOOT THEM. PLEASE GET RID OF THE RIOT SHIELD PERMANENTLY

[obsidian relic]

I think the rifles of medium-sized characters need some adjustments, and the performance of rifles is a bit difficult under the increasingly complicated situation.

[calm steeple]

Please please please, either retire or make it so you only need to do it once, the "Interrupt opponents who are stealing a cashout/terminal" challenge. The timing has to be perfect and is so very specific it's not fun at all. Around 56 matches and still at 3/5. You gotta do it in an specific mode. You have to play well enough to get a cashout going and be close to it and not die to catch somebody stealing it, and not too well enough so nobody ever even comes close to try stealing it. You have to use specific methods, killing them as they try to steal it doesn't even count. Even changing it to "damage somebody who is stealing" would be better.

AND CURRENTLY ITS BUGGED AND DOESNT EVEN WORK MOST OF THE TIME

edit: ok nvm I've decided I'm done with the game for many reasons lol seeya

[steep current]

Please can we be able to put charms or maybe even stickers and skins on the gadget tablets (e.g. demat, jump pad etc). In such a cosmetic orientated game, the lack of tablet customisation feel like such a missed opportunity!

[mortal anchor]

ur matchmaking suck finals

[topaz token]

For one, I just want to request more outfit slots one last time before the season ends, and two, I can’t believe there aren’t any legendary or interesting skins for the glitch grenade yet! It has been a staple for so long, I feel like a good skin for them would sell like hotcakes. Stoked for S8 and can’t wait to get some info and previews!

[hasty tulip]

Some improvements to character creation and filtering would be nice. I miss a copy/paste for "Loadout" and filtering options are not convenient in "Style/Appearance" (I actually never use them,. Like,. Who remembers what clothing is from which season XD)

[small shadow]

embark literally fk man you cant even ban blantantly cheater report does nothing getting 200 plus only where getting 1300 minus from cheater

[wooden sand]

im so tired of lobbies being dominated but 2 pike mediums on one team, please revert the buff you gave it forever ago

[spare topaz]

backstab + quick melee = 320 + 40

[proven crown]

EU servers feel much better now ❤️

2 key bits of feedback:

Im getting hit by riot Shields Batons from WAY too far away it's broken. I tried it myself and honestly it's too strong. Please nerf riot shield (it's not fun enough to be that strong)

*Please remove doubling all together in Ranked - it will just make for a fairer game. It's great for WT though

[tidal blaze]

Please, please do something about matchmaking. I know there aren't enough players to create a sample size big enough to have it work perfectly, but a solo player with less than 100 games under their belt shouldn't have to play against emerald and ruby 3-stacks.

Or just do what League of Legends does: separated queues for solo and parties

[polar shell]

EMBARK: IF YOU HAVE TOO MANY HAXORS TO PARSE THEN PAY ME IN COINS TO DO IT PROPERLY and explain my reasoning.... as currently: There are so fn many at diamond 2 and above.. I have to play on a server 1/4 the way across the earth with a controller ... I digress, as I am a senoir citizen who has been with you since day 7... I think you should appoint decent cammomo_10's to at least give you some more data than you would have to be getting, no survey, and so many ftards, noone is filling in ur textbox.. (BTW: ignoring this ruined COD FYI) ... human compute is still cheaper (for now..) Dont loose your 'user-experience-focussed' thing that you still own....(for now, by leaning too far towards unhelpul tangents) Stick to the core tenants of the game you invented plz I love you ❤️ Sure: You;re the DJ , and Im some rando tryn to tell you what to play... but yeah that's community 👍

[half silo]

add a mac version

[reef inlet]

Please bru

[topaz jungle]

More cashball plz, thx

[void shard]

Please add a dummy in practise range thats holding the riot shield, letting players see and practise where they can hit a shield user can help reduce the frustration by learning and figuring out solutions, adding an option for players to spawn dummys that run at you at 45° would be the best, but just a dummy holding it is great

[heady lion]

I would like the see Surgeon Skin for The Finals.
Lab coat, Magnifying glass on Protective glass, green or blue surgical scrub, and blue sterile gloves with Scalpel Knife Skin would be perfect.

[patent berry]

Would it be possible for the matchmaking algorithm to make balanced teams? I see a lot of HHH/MMM/LLL, and I think soloQ would be a significantly better experience if the game lazily tried to pair you with people of different weight classes. (And as far as I understand, HML meta is the desired one, so it's safe to assume that's what people want to be qued into)

[harsh cliff]

Ranked idea, just remove all guns in the game and make it only melee weapons, sounds fun right ?

[hallow turret]

riot shield may have a busted hitbox but it is not unbeatable or "toxic" (how does a weapon even become "toxic"?) like you make it out to be

[wooden atlas]

Improve matchmaking and improve servers—that’s pretty much all we really NEED right now. Better servers would make most of the riot shield frustration go away (trust me, as a riot main, the netcode hurts me just as much as it hurts the people I’m facing). And I don’t think I have to explain the matchmaking problems…

[thorny elbow]

Add a Sheldon healing emitter skin please embark 😭🙏🙏❤️

[lucid field]

riot shield is too strong.A weapon that can run while blocking bullets is really stupid and strong，damage like Cerberus shotgun 90≈99 and no need aim ，so what is the significance of Cerber's existence？

[tired fable]

Yo Embark, S8 approaching, I think weapons are quite balanced rn thx you for ur good job but plz take note of this :

// Training mode

• add dmg range, %accuracy, spread infos,
• targetCPU presets, short capacity CD option
• choose different types of building and reset destructions
• cashout station & figurine mate

// QoL

why we can't wear contestant number 69, explain us
Match history: add it
Items shop: add possibility to test shooting, reload animations...
group: give lead/join mate and be spectator when he is ingame
random FAVORITE skin : random favorite selection skin as apex plz
Skin preset: add gestures, spray, audio, card pose, weapon skin, etc... on skin preset plz
Emote Wheel: Ability to remove an emote/spray/ from wheel
chat: uncensor "lmao" and "wtf"
Loadout preset: let us cook loadout preset for real
Sledge lobby Pose: buff sledge pose plz
Sight: choose weapon sight in training mode and before match
UX Loadout: put 2 items lines when choosing weap/gadget before match, scrolling is annoying
Team color: change pink or purple into green, it's hard to make difference during high fight

// BALANCE

Pyrogrenade: 30 > 20sec CD
Dagger: remove M2 charge cancel when climbing and possibility to tap M2 as Throwing Knife
M26: the 5centered pellet deal 13dmg and 6 external's 10dmg /or/ reduce spread
Turret: Turret health bar on UI to monitor Turret HP
Explosive Mine: 15 > 12sec CD /or/ 2stack 20sec CD
Demat: fit color demat to the team color
Reshaper: less CD when swapping props/grenades/rocket
Breach drill: 25s > 20s CD /or/ explode 20% faster
Dual Blade: buff everything
Cerberus: Better fire effect (longer burn? light easier?)
Spear: split M2 full combo animation into 1 swing per M2
Sledge: M1 = 105dmg to make M1 M1 QC combo back (or you can just put back dmg before 7.0)
KS23: 100% ads accuracy /or/ faster pump action

[valid solar]

My personal Ideas for new melee "weapon" I think maybe Embark can use 😉

• Light use kungfu have double jump and can kick in the air like iron fist from marvel rival
• Medium use boxing gloves left click is just combo and right click is dodge with small i-frames and a small dash since their melee is balance on offensive and defensive
• Heavy use wrestling gloves I honestly don't know but right click from behind perform a grabbing animation and can insta kill a heavy (I would love to slam their head to the ground if possible)

I also think this is good for culture references Kungfu (China), Boxing (America), Wrestling (Lucha libre -Mexico) we do have wrestling and boxing outfit already 🥺

They use barefist so you have to make them the hardest weapon to use as possible

[urban hatch]

You shouldnt loose any Rank points when your team abandons, Forcing the player to stay in a Lobby when both of the Teammates leave is also stupid, aswell as BS that yall call a Hitreg sometimes + dont let 3 stacks q into non 3 stack lobbys

[mild ruin]

how many times in this last season i need to crash on last match to drop this game...

[tranquil mantle]

Emotes in lobby?

[hot jungle]

Translated commentator voicelines for June and Scotty would be fire (cuz the arena commentator doesn't need translation, english is fine for him)

[weary drum]

Right now, if someone is being manually revived, it locks out others from also starting a manual revive, but this doesn’t apply to the defibrillator. Another player can still use the defib on someone who’s already being revived, which resets the progress and often brings the teammate back with less health. This wastes time and creates tension and frustration.

The revive system should treat both methods the same: once a revive has started, no other revive attempts should be possible until it’s finished. A clear visual marker should also indicate that the target is already being revived, so players know their defib won’t work. This would make revives smoother, fairer, and less frustrating.

[finite galleon]

Kung fu spec is lowkey crazy

[still cloak]

I want reactive commentators. I like June and Scotty, but they need the ability to react to gameplay better than being a simple TTS feature.

[keen karma]

RANK EMBLEMS PLAT AND GOLD

FIX RANK

• Implement rank protection in ranked matches based on active participation time to address teammate disconnects. Rank gain or loss would be scaled proportionally to the portion of the match a player was present and contributing and a minimum active-time threshold to prevent abuse.
• Rank protection for consistent wins, where points earned over multiple matches or longer games are partially “banked,” so a short loss doesn’t wipe out all progress. OR temporary protection when joining a new bracket
• Do stricter matchmaking system in ranked to pair players i.e., ruby to ruby, diamond to diamond, plat to plat. If a match cannot be filled within 1 minutes, gradually relax the restrictions to maintain reasonable queue times.

EMOTES IN LOBBY

[sonic arrow]

Make pike and v9s play more around getting frequent headshots like their DMR/handgun counterparts

v9s plays like a semi-auto smg while pike plays like a long range semi auto assault rifle, so lessening the visual recoil, lowering the damage and increasing the headshot multipliers to 2x should fulfill the skill expression method these weapons both desire, considering the fact that they fit in with full automatic playstyles for some reason, hurting their identity.

adding more sights for both guns (pike especially) would help with this as well

[novel tundra]

Nerf light into the ground I’m tired of getting 6 enemy lights

[ember bronze]

DEVS. There is a voice chat bug where it signs my teammate out that I’m Qed with and then it takes his vc away. He stays in the game just disconnects from VC we’ve tried everything and the only thing that works is leaving the game, and then joining back in please fix it, it’s very frustrating.

Cerberus = 99 DMG
KS 23 = 100 DMG
CL 40 = 100 DMG

2nd match of the tournament ends, moving on to the finals. Game crashes at the victory screen.

current meta:

• Griefing by two or three teams
• Third party by two or three teams
• Smoke steel
  pls fix these there all super scummy and should not be part of the meta. Also Pike is just insane the TTK on a light is ~300ms the human reaction time is ~120ms so along with input delay and latency it means you have 0 time to react this is also made WAY worse when your on ~300ms of ping if not more

[wild pilot]

Add a Burger Healing Emitter

[dawn valve]

Embark if you do not balance your fucking game for lights you are going to kill your game.

AND BUFF THE V9S HOLY SHIT. That gun has NO identity and is the worst light weapon ACROSS THE BOARD.

@sterile canopy Dude don't ask a question in a slowmode channel, also we've had this discussion before lmao. I've typed out longer segments for this argument but the essence in that it can't compete in close range with med/heavy, but its 10 min - 15 max meter falloff range means if you're beyond 15 meters (which is pretty damn short), you're going to lose most of the time. Also current meta with pike and winch and SHAK destroys the V9S.

For example: SHAK is one of the most played heavy weapons. SHAK v light TTK is 0.57, V9S v heavy is 1.33. That 1.33 however assumes you're within 10 meters, which is ALSO in winch range. 1.33 is over 2.5x the TTK of 0.57, PLUS the SHAK has a range of 15 min - 25 max, so if you're outside the 15 meters the heavy still does decent damage with the 67% modifier, while the V9S TTK is increased to 1.77. This of course is not including the heavy use of shields, winch, RPG, etc.

V9S having low TTK times is irrelevant when it's range is so low. The one thing that bothers me most of all is that the M11 has a further dropoff than the V9S, which totally baffles me.

To be clear, I may be saying buff too extremely, I just want the effective range to increase to 12.5-20 or 15-20, It's a single fire weapon in a sea of automatics, it needs range

[polar ermine]

so yeh whens the fkin pike getting nerfed then? how about some consistency instead of "please use this weapon please we made it for you"

[alpine summit]

this is actually dope a healing cheese burger 🍔

[lilac drift]

• Replace quick cash in favour of head2head, permanently. We don't need 2 TDM gamemodes
• Don't let winch heavy shoot before the grabbed player can, it should be a team utility, not a free solo pick
• Give the famas it's fire rate back, but decrease it's damage over distance

[dusty igloo]

We need it so that in ranked, the final cashout needs to be owned by the plugging team, and also it has a hold similar to stealing that lasts like 10 seconsd roughly for plugging in a double on the last.
There should also be a benefit for getting 1st place, that way in some situations, its more worth it to not grief to get 1st place, rather then 1st place just meaning that you are safe to let 3rd or 4th place get it for free as you only shoot 2nd.

[gritty umbra]

ig lights can just do whatever they want and still is the most busted class. double barrel, tks, m11, it never fails to amaze me how every single light runs the same build. for the love of god embark please do something about lights

hello devs, so i might wonder if there are options to turn this game entirely into potato mode to save our PC's from being destroyed by high CPU/memory/gpu usage

[rose brook]

I dont thinks that's necessarily needed yes they do a lot of damage but there's also a pretty good skill gap to actually do good with it. And its on the class with the lowest health for a reason

[covert dagger]

The new announcement says Season 8 is focused on the new player experience. If that's the case address balancing and especially matchmaking balance issues. Weapon and gadget variety may be an enticement for some new players but the issue is retention.

[solemn quest]

YOU GUYS REALLY NEED TO MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FOR LEAVING MID RANK MATCHES STEEPER OR TAKE IT OUT COMPLETELY , LOSING COUNTLESS RS BECAUSE PPL SUCK AND GET MAD AND BACK OUT ,LEAVEING YOU HIGH AND DRY, CANT EVEN BACK OUT BECAUSE ILL GET A 10 MIN PENALTY , AND FORCED TO STAY AND TAKE A ASS WHOOPING ALL GAME THEN LOSE 1000+ RS

I use steaminput just and only to enable gyro(not the mouse one but as joystick) and I got banned permanently a week ago because of mass report because I was playing really good in multiple matches from past few weeks since I shifted to controller and your anticheat made an automated review to ban my account without investigating wether the report are legit or not.
Even tho What I do is not against Game's TOS and doesn't break any rule, I have been banned and support team is not ready to do a manual review of account so they can unban it because I didn't cheat.

Lost my beta account with bp 2 to onwards seasons, countless rare collectible and all that progression.

Thank you Embark for treating your og community who was there to support your game when no one was interested in playing it.

[lapis elbow]

All they need to do is bring back the fire rate. The gun was PERFECT in its previous state and because 5 or 6 top players were abusing macros they destroyed the weapon

[light quarry]

this is the most miserable meta I have experienced since beta. can gunfights with automatics please go back to being the standard in an fps game? the balance is skewed so heavily toward oppressive utility or uninteractive gimmick builds like invincible riot shield, getting sniped by pike, shot through smoke by lights, no aimed by a CL, getting winched through a dome into a shak or SA, lockbolted, et cetera. smoke and goo make instant steals so difficult to stop without the whole team alive and are both get-out-of-jail-free cards. pushing a player who positioned poorly is impossible with healing infuser/demat/goo/smoke+thermal. the fps skill floor is 6 feet underground in this sandbox. i love this game but cannot enjoy a single match these days

solo q sucks, randoms are severely under leveled and under ranked versus 3 stacks that havent logged off since release, theres a 60 game buffer to stop new players from instant joining ranked yet I'm still matching with people around level 20 that haven't found out how objectives work, id much rather go against sweaty matches 100% of the time, if it meant having teammates around the same playtime/rank as well

[lament pine]

Embark as someone who loves the customisability of the game, please allow us to pick a point in the intro animation that will be used for the player card pose. This could be timeline slider, or to make QC easier, a step choice at every 0.5s or 1s in the animation cycle. It would make the game feel a lot more varied and allow for much more customisability from existing assets.

MATCHMAKING
Basically every game has it
It's time the finals to implement it

[real wyvern]

Would be nice if season 8 brought some more variety to medium kit as right now it is very limited (assuming the goal is to win the game).
All boils down to famas/fcar/pike + demat

For example:
Shotguns are somehow worse in close combat than long range weapons and ARs. No matter if model has 20 shells, if it cannot full shot and QM a light class, it will never be good.
Repeater has plenty of disadvantages and provides no advantages. Being a slow firing marksman weapon, it sure does not reward the player for having good aim (no 2x headshot damage).

Specialisations are also in a bad spot.
Only demat is worth bringing.
Healbeam, a specialisation for the healer/supoort class is outclassed by a heal gadget on a fast dps class and the emitter, which allows for healing and self healing while not being out of combat while doing so 💀
It needs to have more juice in it and heal faster or something to stay relevant.
Turret on the other hand is just an annoying bullet sponge with some counters, which includes simply blasting it since it poses no threat whatsoever.
Since it is more of a "Trap" spec for defense, it should be way more deadly but also less tanky. Good placements will have great results just like it is with mines.

I swear to god the ranked in this game is really horrible
Cheaters, smurfs, stupid matchmaking, riot shield. please this ranked is not worth the stress, the ranked in this game will make me lose myself. it's so stupid.
I really wish that embark will address these issues in the next season
-Reduce solo queue penalty
-Ranked points should be related to individual performance.
-improve the matchmaking system.

• remove riot from ranked or nerf it.

oh boy oh boy i love facing off against entire club teams in my solo queue

widen the Swords horizontal clamp to 45⁰ both ways

You should use the mouse gyro not the joystick one because then you would get AA with gyro and thats pretty much cheating in my book

[vagrant lake]

rework winchclaw (heavy stun gun) already it's been too long

[leaden shell]

its simple....if people stop asking for nerfs and let the game be the chaos it was meant to be then we wouldnt have this stale pike meta...riot shield wouldnt be as oppresive as it is...fcar would be good again...ak would have 36 bullets...heavy would feel fun again instead of like a baby u have to walk around with so he doesnt lose a 1v1....the game is meant to be a chaotic showcase of fun and unpredictability..not a balanced shitshow of one weapon dominating every class. its the constant nerf screaming that is causing this game to be as stale as its getting...it wasnt meant to be a balanced game it was meant to be chaos...even if u do get the nerf u want guess what..something else even more annoying will replace it then u will scream nerf that to till everything kills slowier than syrup pours...just shut up have fun and cause chaos

[muted void]

1. give riot shield to heavy, heavy is supposed to be the tank, not medium
2. give spear to medium, it fits better
3. make winch break/fail if it clips or makes contact a wall, why can it phase through walls to grab people (or still winching someone when they got behind a wall after being grabbed)
4. cl40 should have less splash damage and be more direct hit
5. explode the pike

[tight shadow]

Can we get a setting to change request revive binding

[lilac pelican]

Can we add some sort of exchange system for the in-game currency. I'd take XP boosters as a item to purchase or even exchange for Multibucks.
Either way - sitting at max currency for multiple seasons. It's just something to give back to the players.

[barren silo]

Why can’t you edit your weapon in practice range, how am I supposed to figure out what scope I want if I can’t compare

[quick coyote]

i would want that to be fixed tbh, i hate leaving the practice range to change my sights and skins

[wooden atlas]

I was watching videos from back in the betas and the first two seasons, and as much as I love all the new stuff, these videos reminded me how FUN the game was in its early state. I agree with this that all the crying for nerfs has been bad for the fun aspect in the long run. It used to be you picked a melee weapon or a GL or whatever as a gimmick (which is why I mained sword, riot shield, flamethrower, etc. early on). But it’s not a gimmick when everyone is using it—it’s just unfun. The problem I see is that, even if we stop asking for nerfs, I don’t see a good way to get the game into a better state (not that it’s bad right now, it just could be better). I’ll let someone older and wiser than myself figure that one out.

[patent siren]

Just went 28-5 in tdm with a pike where both rounds ended due to time mind u this was my first ever time perchance it needs a nerf

Please nerf the pike it's so op

please add hud safezone 🙏

[ivory gull]

I need ONE more contestant slot. Please Embark I don't want to rebuild my loadouts every time 😩

[smoky gust]

i know working out a whole matchmaking system around stacks/friend groups/clans is hard
(and completely cutting off collateral damage is impossible due to 2 player teams needing a 3rd player)

but a bandaid solution you could apply is matching the xp-boost solo players get when going up against stacked teams

it doesnt really improve the experience, but until you are able to, this provides a tangible upside to sticking around
which would be nice

[woven belfry]

I also think medium needs some sort of buff over all. Right now demat is really the only good specialization.

[narrow belfry]

why does the goo gun not have a limit and a cooldown? im so confused on what we're doiing with balancing like hello

Who the FUCK thought this piece of shit was balanced at ALL. Fire them

Just say youre ass at the game. Goo gun compared to mesh, winch, and charge, is not that useful.

this game is just stupid right nwo. hackers oin every singel solityary match int he last 3 days and notihgn hits at all.

[young flare]

make winch have to have a wind up and play some kinda audio cue when the windup starts so people know what’s happening, but in exchange make it go farther/faster the more you wind it up. This way it’s not really way worse but people actually have a chance to counterplay it instead of there just being nothing you can really do

[limpid ocean]

why is my sens so damn low? it was fine this morning but for some reason the sens just tanked and now im playing at 3000 dpi to function.

add more counters to smoke/thermal combo

[lunar reef]

This is gonna sound crazy but what if there was a solo q only mode.. id play that mode a ton if I knew EVERYONE else was solo q'ing. and i didnt have to face squads/obvious premades. it would feel much more natural imo. Some call of dutys used to have this feature and I loved loading in knowing im facing only solo q's.. Ik the population is small(er) but I just have a feeling this could work.. TONS of people have played this game solo q only for years. not sure youd even have to convince people to play it. It might just work.. that is all.

Could this channel not be a forum channel just for the sake of organization and being able to see well liked suggestion as well as better replying to suggestions as it wouldn’t take 6 hours to send another message here

[iron berry]

finally someone else who shares my same opinion, i would LOVE to have a place to chat about things deeper rather than just having things said no not much way to discuss, ofc it would have to be more heavily moderated bc people get angry very easily, but i feel it would be a better look into what people actually want

[mental delta]

Add a Gunlance from Monster Hunter as a weapon for Heavy. If need be, make it a weapon+specialization combo. The version from Rise/Sunbreak should give enough options to design around

[bleak hemlock]

good game

[icy marsh]

Put one single footstep audio in your game and it’d be helpful. Literally can not hear anything. A running heavy a 1m away makes no footstep audio sound. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.

Your spawn logic is still fried beyond belief.

It‘s odd we‘re able to rename styles, but the characters still are named light 1/2/3 - medium 1/2/3 - etc.

[unreal zodiac]

yo please im begging PLEASE FIX THE SPEARRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[prisma steppe]

remove riot shield from the game pls and thank you. idk why every game feels the need to have riot shields in their game. they are always universally hated and considered the most annoying thing to go up against. the fact that the shield baton has the same time to kill as the dual swords is insane. when im running dual swords i actually need to stop attacking in order to block but with the riot shield all you have to do is look slightly to the right and you can block damage and output damage at the same time its so unbalanced that if a heavy on our team does not have a flamethrower its basically gg if the riot shield user has a half functioning brain.

[violet elbow]

This shit started in S4 when they nerfed mesh shield and AK for no reason

[cold bolt]

[shadow elk]

New Heavy Weapon: Railgun

The Railgun would use the same premise as the minigun, but fill the opposite niche, being suited for long range encounters rather than short.

Similar to the Bow, but much slower, the Railgun would have a linear damage scaling based on the percentage it was held before firing. However, it would also slow your movement more and more as it charges up, too, and even completely immobilize you at high/full charge. Holding it at full charge too long makes it overheat and damage you heavily, like a self-hit RPG does. While charging, it’s incredibly loud and electricity around/inside the barrel would make it easily visible from afar, and very audible from short-mid ranges.

This sort of balancing would force those using it to play around corners, down long sight-lines, and to stay near their teammates for protection. It’d struggle at close ranges in general, or when caught by surprise, like the minigun. The benefits would be its ability to deal devastating damage, maybe able to one-shot at max charge for lights and mediums, and critically injure a heavy. It’d also be great for precise, targeted wall penetration/destructive capabilities at full charge.

Why? Because the Finals is about chaos and trendsetting with new and funky ways to shake up what a shooter can be. While the heavy may be balanced around short range, i think it’d be sick to experiment with breaking the mold and subverting expectations. If light and heavy can steal the medium’s support role, then so too can heavy get a taste of long range precision strikes!

[languid niche]

I wish i could call back my jump pad after use like healing emitter/turret, I don’t like how I can give the enemy an advantage if i can’t break it after. This would also reduce the cooldown which is nice

[half cipher]

Pls for god the sake nerf the fudge out with Riot shield. i dont mind getting smack with increase atk speed nor damage just give a damn HP shield som they wont abuse 360 degress bullet immune.

Can we stop losing RS when teammates leave? I really don’t this is an unsupported request because it’s unfair in a game entirely built upon teamwork to punish you when you don’t even have the amount of people to count as a team.

[glacial tundra]

[dense ocean]

Let us customize the HUD
Size, transparency, and position of icons, teammate names, etc.

For example, on controllers, the default settings let you play with the "gadget wheel" setting, which, however, takes up a good portion of the screen. I understand it's intuitive for new players, but it's very intrusive.

[grand skiff]

i want to be able to see when teammates in spawn area are spining or be able to spin them

[raw blaze]

can we have weapon specific zoom levels :3

[remote bramble]

Please make a better ranking system remove the torney difficulty its especially worse for players who are solo q when their teamate is higher rank than them but their skill level is the lower or the same as u so even if u place decently u dont get a lot of rs anyway, moreover make it so that u atleast go positive if u qualify the first match there are 24 players playing getting 4th place should atleast put u positive even it feels like a waste of time winning the first round and losing rr after all that.

[vernal ridge]

I don't want to complain too much because I know that Embark is putting work into the game and they are not a lazy studio in my opinion, however, we have come to a point where me and my friends don't enjoy playing to The Finals, it's my most played game on Steam and I have been playing since S1, the game is just not fun anymore, the balance is trash, since heavy always takes the nerfs in the face, medium a bit and light almost nothing, you get games with triple stacks of the same class (light), unbalanced matchmaking even in WT or ranked, come on, I know that I am at a low elo but putting me and my mate (level 75_73) (500hrs of playtime and 250hrs) with someone that is level 20 and has 70hrs in the game against players that have our level of skill or above is just not fair. And please just buff Heavy, I know that light mains are going to complain if they get a single nerf as they do when it happens so just buffing heavy and medium to be in line with the light class could be good for the health of the game.

[clever bone]

+1 this is so well made aswell🤩

[tired fable]

I don't understand how SA1216 is pretended be good, you can't kill a medium with 4 perfect shot at 5m
I wouldn't go so far as to say that this weapon needs a buff but I feel this gun weak against 60% of weapons, it is useless outside building, I think this gun should have 15% tight spread at least but its my opinion maybe I am wrong but i havent win any game in 2hours lmao

[cobalt kernel]

I expect nothing less than a BIG meta shake up with Season 8 next week, just in time before the big Major tournament..

Nerf winch cringe back to 10 meter range, lower stun effect, REMOVE second hit on the way back!!
ALL lights are forced to play Dash to counter this clown ability, zero build variety!!

1 button press is dictating the whole meta right now, it's all you gonna see at the majors and it's gonna be boring AF

Nerf Pike to 49 damage and lower fire rate

Nerf Demat recharge time

Nerf Evasive trash

Reduced max ammount of Pyro mines carriable to ONE (just like expl. and glitch mine)

Buff all the forgotten and "dead" gadgets

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly

Buff Breach charge/Vortex fuse time, takes forever to activate

Give iron sights to sniper extend hitscan range by 10 meters

[vocal cave]

give us a bathrobe upper body already 😎

guys i need help, my game is running at 30 fps, i have just above the minimum pc requirements, i used to run ig 60-70fps but it has dropped, i have tried everything, overclocking, thermal is not the problem, trying older graphic drivers, all sorts of settings changed for max performance, still cant go past 30 fps, the game would start at 60 but gradually decrease and settle at 30fps in 2-3 minutes
all the in game settings are perfect, nvidia settings are perfect, windows settings are perfect, task manager/HWinfo shows 50% cpu usage during gameplay, temperature is fine

[bold scroll]

Please make it so dual blades cannot deflect melee weapons.
it's bad enough the weapon can infinitely block, but you being unable to counter the block with things like the sledgehammer is ridiculous. I just watched a heavy swing 8 times on a dual blade medium and they took little to no damage.

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I'm praying it is.

[mental sky]

Make C&S uninterruptible by winch and dome and mesh block winch

[topaz jungle]

Hey embark…please reduce the cooldown ya’ll recently extended for the goo grenade. It seems very backwards to try to dampen the impact of gadgets when they are largely what makes this game unique. Really…I think most cooldowns should be slightly reduced.

[tacit whale]

Revert the stun effect on the winch, or revert the nullifier to be the stun gun again

[tranquil galleon]

fix dagga, butterfly knife pls and gateway skins

[supple nebula]

Developing my idea for a H+ Infuser rework:

Single charge burst healing for X amount of damage (maybe 150 health or more, that's for Embark to figure out)
Hold M1 while aiming at a teammate to "charge" the Infuser. During the initial charge, the Infuser checks via hit scan if you are aiming directly at a teammate. If it's the case, then the infuser charges a bit, successfully. In perfect conditions, you'd have to be aiming at your teammate for about a second for it to charge fully if you don't miss during the charging phase. If the hitscan fails, you can try to aim at your teammate again, but of course the charge will slowly drop off.
Once fully charged, the Infuser will shoot a super fast healing projectile, healing for a huge amount of HP (the 150 or more from before).
The Infuser then enters cooldown.

This solves the issue of the H+ Infuser being extremely punishing against Enemy players, while forcing the Light to decide to use their charge into their teammate is worth it (as they'll have to predict whenever their teammate is going to take a lot of damage, alias they have to COMMIT to their actions, and they shall be rewarded plenty as it should be).
This restores the appeal of the medium's healing beam to be using while fighting, I see the Infuser more as a "retreat, bandage up and get immediately back to the fight" type of tool hence the charge and etc.
Notably this makes the Infuser only work for 1 teammate at a time, this is intended to make the healing beam and the healing emiter more appealing.
I strongly believe this still makes the Infuser viable in high level play as the consistent huge heal is nothing to scoff at, while making other sources of healing more appealing in different scenarios.

ADDENDUM: For lower skill players, maybe make the hitscan during the charge a cynlinder, makes it more forgiving
°2: The charging should be visible so that the enemy can decide whenever they still can stay in the fight

[exotic anvil]

There are too fucking many macro bots in TDM on the Asia server, and you guys don't give a shit. These bots are clearly being used to farm levels and sell accounts to Chinese cheaters — and it's been going on unchecked for way too long. When the hell are you actually going to do something about it?

[signal oasis]

My account has been permanently banned, but I didn't cheat or use third-party software. Even this game is the only one on my computer. I love it, but I'm very disappointed. I hope the official can give me a reply.

[hasty tulip]

I think it is time to step out of the "Urban Environment" for starters 🧐 .
Who doesn't want to battle on a SHIP, on a MAUNTAIN, post-ww2 CAVES and LARGE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS or just a impressive FORREST and climb trees?

Whos the cheater

[brave flame]

I don’t have HOLTOW insurance :(

Nullifier should definitely work the same as a glitch grenade, but with only one target, ya know?
Like it should be able to do the same as a glitch grenade to mesh or dome shield, same with turrets and mines and such!

[flat tusk]

As we approach Season 8 and soon double digits, will Embark use a different format on or after Season 10? Fortnite goes by Chapters and as a new player, Season X3 is more appealing than Season 26

[dark niche]

please work on sbmm.. it seems like it doesnt matter wether you just started or are a s3 ruby, matchmaking only cares about your current rs which is really dumb imo
trying to get to diamond rn it is TERRIBLE i dont think ill touch the mode again after this season

[wide summit]

Something in the previous updates broke party chat so you have to enable and disable multiples times a night because it randomly just breaks.

Game UI stops responding in the menus randomly which requires a reboot to be able to start a game or change modes etc.

The constantl lag needs to finally be addressed please for the love of god.

goo nades for a while now have stopped working consistently.

DECREASE THE ACCURACY WHILE JUMPING

[gaunt orchid]

you should be able to upgrade guns, I feel like it could throw off the careful balance of the game, but at least allow you to swap out parts on the guns to make them look nicer, instead of just skins, maybe even have them compatible with each other

[alpine summit]

Laske is a pro in the finals currently competing in open qualifiers for the 100k major it’s just unfortunate you had to deal with that, one of the other guys may be an alt account who knows but laske isn’t a cheater I’d assume, he’s just a better player and that’s a fact. No shade but just speaking the truth he has way more playtime than you I’d assume.

[sonic arrow]

Make pike and v9s play more around getting frequent headshots like their DMR/handgun counterparts

v9s plays like a semi-auto smg while pike plays like a long range semi auto assault rifle, so lessening the visual recoil, lowering the damage and increasing the headshot multipliers to 2x should fulfill the skill expression method these weapons both desire, considering the fact that they fit in with full automatic playstyles for some reason, hurting their identity.

adding more sights for both guns (pike especially) would help with this as well

[pale quest]

you were just unlucky to run into pro player

[inland maple]

remove kyoto and buff model

[sterile canopy]

smoke's interactions with explosives are weird and inconsistent. I think a rework to make the interactions more predictable would help the community's perception of it. (Also, a smoke cloud that was hit by an explosion can persist for many minutes? At the start of this video on the right you can see a smoke cloud which was there for 5 mins or more, and dissipated immediately as I threw another grenade. That cloud of smoke that I moved in the video did the same. Looks visually buggy too, some layering issue I guess.)

[novel fox]

I started playing the finals again. I started on season 3 but I quickly stopped playing because of two things. I want to point them out because this is really important imo as I've had friends tell me the same thing.

1. Character creator is 3/10 at best. I now understand that you can purchase different skins and you also get the hair. Still, the vanilla options are just bad and hard for me to identify with.
2. The heavy builds are just fat with a gut. Why??? why make them fat lol. Nothing wrong with a bigger build w/o having two chins and a gut.

that's it. Love the game. I'm now playing light build and hide my face to get over how ugly i look.

please add more vanilla options for hair and faces. And put the heavy classes on a traidmill. 🙂

I just want to say that I LOVE Scotty and June, and I also love The Announcer! I feel like some of the recent changes to his lines seem like he's considerably less hyped than before 🙁 I hope he's not getting tired of his job!

[dreamy ore]

The winch claw range it
Is insane some heavy can catch you from the other side of a room easily. It shouldn't be more than 10 mts.

[shell plover]

They implemented a slim build for heavy in season 6. Take another look.

The KS-23 does not have enough shots for a fight after you break a wall with it. I would recommend changing its magazine size to 8 to compensate for the 2 shots it takes to break a wall.

Bring terminal attack back to life any update or special events linked with it could be cool alot of the community doesn’t know what the game mode is and some have a bad perception of it cuz it got released as rank plz show it some love!
(They don’t gotta delete TA just add a new gamemode some people love TA)

[cold bolt]

remove terminal attack

[round goblet]

Replace TA with 5v5 cashout

[vernal ridge]

You just want an even more light meta and nerfing pyro mines is stupid, just open your eyes, I don't feel like the gadget is op because it's a MINE and since 90% of light players don't know how to play the objective and are overstressed zoomer, they just wipe themselves by rushing the cashout most medium players at my level can play arround pyro mines, if you take your time and don't rush after the team wipe, you can avoid them since they cover only 2 faces of the cashout and you can outreach them to steal. And no, I don't care about winch claw, I play mesh shield, but don't use it as an argument to explain why every light uses dash, the dash just makes some weapons really good and that's why I think it needs a nerf, not the weapons but Embark doesn't seem to understand that the issue is the spec, anyways, if you had just listed one nerf to the light class, I would maybe have considered to hear you out.

[coarse condor]

will dagger backstab animation fully queue on input in season 8?
please?

Hi team, just want to say I've been playing the game since launch and can't put it down.

Love all the work the devs have done to improve the game 😄

I propose that heavy has a whole update to itself and heavy by default will win you the game if you play him

Add a way to get older Emerald and Ruby skins through very hard challenges or something else since if u joined later than they were featured they are now possibly forever unobtainable despite being such cool skins.

[faint saddle]

They already said they will make a ranked token based reward system sometime

If you get diamond season 9 for example you get a diamond token instead of a skin and can use the token on a skin of your choice, they already talked about this in an AMA and it will happen soon

Buff Sword Horizontal clamp to 90⁰ and Increase Lunge damage to 130

[narrow belfry]

Bro a mf ain’t even cheating or playing with cheaters embark studios is burning down tonight

Soloq players need an option to play olny against soloplayers and not premade groups.

[pulsar flame]

Might dramatically slow down queue times. I like where you’re going with it though 100%

[hollow kelp]

the main reason that light is actually good in the meta rn is glitch nades being able to disable someone's entire utility, dash is not a problem and is only a meta pick cuz every other spec for light is terrible. also @cobalt kernel is right about winch, that and pike is making the current meta really boring. im saying this as a medium main btw

[median moat]

Maintain a non-collab setting for the game!

I get that collaborations are awesome when done right, but they can easily end up in a pitfall of eroding the game's identity.

Even when the game has a very flexible setting in terms of what kinds of cosmetics "fit" it's setting, I'd much rather have it be references and let sponsors and other cosmetic themes shine with their visual styles!

I won't be mad if you do happen to have a collab in the making, though. I just don't want collabs to overwhelm the rest of the cosmetic choices.

[stuck vapor]

Add a way to favorite outfits you have saved/created, and be able to select a random option to cycle between them for each match

[tacit whale]

I’m still trying to understand why you added a longer stun effect to the winch while completely reworking the stun gun. What happened to no “free kills”?

[topaz jungle]

Turn up all the gadgets, turn them allllll up

[dawn valve]

Winch needs to be REMOVED. Its just an instant win for heavies v lights. What the FUCK are you doing Embark.

"Oh we'll remove stun gun but winch is perfectly balanced yeah"

Let me make this more clear, heavies with half or less health feel confident enough to CHASE AFTER full health lights with Winch.

Also Mines needs a longer prep time, they should NOT be used to kill people chasing you. They should be prepped ahead of time

[little axle]

Please fix your revival
Why always resborn two teams nearby the same cashout? It's even possible that just as one team is revived, another team is revived immediately at the previous location, it's always a chaotic battle among three teams. No one would like such a game

[tame abyss]

So
An enemy can stand next to smoke
Not even in the smoke
FULLY visible
But my mate on console doesn't get any AA on him?
Why?
Whats game devs their obsession with removing AA in smoke even if you can see your target clear as day?
I've seen so many pc player just abuse smoke (w/ thermal but not always) because they know it makes console players absolutely trivial.

[fallow horizon]

FIX THE RIOT SHIELD ANIMATIONS people abusing the hell out of it

[stray wing]

Pls buff spear

[proud plinth]

Edit: I am a spear main.

I think we just need the hit reg to be fixed not so much a buff. It makes sense that hammer would be able to beat it but suffers range. The main issue I have is the fact that riot shields can block the spear in certain instances. I think If I'm risking melee against another melee user I should have the same opportunity to hit as the other guy as in my attacks shouldn't be blocked by another melee user unless I too have have the option to block with my own weapon. All other melee is fine imo though, riot shield is easily countered, Sword is now easy to learn but hard to master (where it should be), same with dagger, Hammer is slow but powerful (just run away if you're too scared), dual blades could use maybe a bit more blocking potential but idk I don't ever use them.

[dusty blade]

where are the RED KILL HITMARKERS Embark. In a previous patch note you said they were back

[slate lagoon]

Why there are always two teams respawn near the same cash out point? There's literally 50-50 chance that the other team will take first place without doing anything, thus control the pace of the game. You guys want see this on major? Win by luck?

[rotund gust]

why the hell did you make club tags have to be unique?????????????? you can't even create a new club now with a good tag because everything is taken and this forces you to make a stupid incorrectly spelly tag or just a nonsensocal code. This had made every club tag pure slop.

There is nothing wrong with multiple clubs having the same tags. It ain't that deep.

If you look at everyones clan tags in game right now it looks like fucking AI

[floral sparrow]

Invert vertical look input while ads 👍

[ebon birch]

embark give us diamond emerald and ruby tokens for Gods sake let us choose what weapons we want to have these skins for, I'm sick of waiting 7 seasons for a crystal sa12 skin 😭

[unreal forge]

Please nerf smoke grenades. There are no reliable counters to it for medium/heavy as the proximity sensor doesn’t have range and players can carry 3 of them. It’s very frustrating to fight against. Maybe reduce the max capacity or give sonar grenades to heavy/medium?

[wild pilot]

add some kind of queue protection when you solo queue, so you are not put into the exact same team after consecutive losses
if you lose with the same squad twice in a row, dont put us in the same team for a third or forth time

[inland otter]

Why is sledge so nerfed someone explain I want quick melee combo back It wasn't sledge that was the issue it was winch with sledge I feel like sledge needs a buff just by also I feel like they either need to get heavy a lower cooldown on passive healing OR increase the amount of HP you get from passive just a thought

[chilly niche]

'Hit arena openents with arena prop' impossible? i just threw 4 props directly at someone and they phased right through them

smurfs, cheaters, bad balancing decisions, healing meta. yall let this game go to shit. so disappointing.

[stuck cosmos]

im gonna be fr sword dash got buffed way too hard, either nerf its cooldown or nerf its damage, 120 damage lunge should not be spammable

this also goes for throwing knives secondary but thats been broken

[cobalt kernel]

I expect nothing less than a BIG meta shake up with Season 8 next week, just in time before the big Major tournament..

Nerf winch cringe back to 10 meter range, lower stun effect, REMOVE second hit on the way back, make the chain break if you get stuck on a ledge so Heavies can't just spam it in any situation

ALL lights are forced to play Dash to counter this clown ability, zero build variety!!

1 button press is dictating the whole meta right now, it's all you gonna see at the majors and it's gonna be boring AF

Nerf Pike to 49 damage and lower fire rate, hard-counters sniper and LH1

Nerf Demat recharge time

Nerf Evasive trash

Reduced max ammount of Pyro mines carriable to ONE (just like expl. and glitch mine)

Buff Model Reload

Bring back OG LH1, buff hip fire

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly

Buff Breach charge/Vortex fuse time, takes forever to activate

Give iron sights to sniper extend hitscan range by 10 meters

Add more map modifiers and let them have a bigger impact, for example "fog" should actually limit viewing distance drastically, so gadgets like thermal and sonar grenades actually serve a purpose besides smoke+steal shenanigans

[crude saffron]

Revert the duration buff to the Gravity Vortex that it got at the beginning of the season. This "buff" made the gadget damn near useless

[wispy edge]

Hi Embark team, I’d like to share some ideas for skins and maps that could really fit The Finals style.

1. Skins – Band / Instrument Theme
   • Some of the best skins in the game are the interactive ones (for example, the electric guitar that actually plays music).
   • Building on that, a band-inspired skin set could be amazing:
   • Melee sword → Drumsticks: each swing hits like a drum with sound effects, and blocking could feel like drumming. In first-person view, the animation could even look like the player is drumming.
   • Daggers → Microphones 🎤: a fun, flashy twist with sound interactions.
   • Other weapons → Instruments: you could expand into keyboards, bass, etc., making it a full band collection.
   • For highest-rarity skins, maybe go with futuristic / lightsaber-style interactive skins —fashionable, and responsive to actions.

2. Maps – More Interactive Environments
   • Earlier maps felt more interactive, while newer ones feel more focused on setting/sponsors. Some even feel like reworked stadiums.
   • Since The Finals core is about cashing out, not just fighting, maps could bring more environmental challenges and events:
   • A moving ship map on rough waters.
   • A haunted house with ghostly effects and traps.
   • A moving train where players fight carriage-to-carriage.
   • Weather-based hazards (wind, rain, cold) similar to survival games, but balanced so it doesn’t disrupt esports.
   • This would create more variety in playstyles and make each match memorable.

Final Note
Fashionable, interactive skins and creative maps are what keep The Finals feeling unique. I really think adding more interactive feedback (sound, animation, environment) would take the game to the next level.

[untold willow]

S8 beyond wishlist

• small Pike fire rate nerf
• winch no longer go through mesh
• fix riot shield hitbox
• change so after quick melee the reload animation resumes where it left off instead of restarting (feel less cluncky)
• revert spawns to pre S7 mid season patch
• heal beam rework (heal is buns)
• cloak will never be balanced in casual vs comp the way it is now as a “active camo”, it needs to be reworked to be completely invisible and then toned down some other way
• rework/remove smoke thermal combo

[proven crown]

Just got cheesed by a smoke thermal team in the final round of ranked twice in a row. We were by far the better team but they just got zero skill steals at the end.

A part of me says put thermal on every class, but a much bigger part of me says delete smoke grenade and thermal from the game.

[waxen rover]

-1K SR for coming 5th while 5th seeded is beyond insane, ranked scoring is brutally unfun

[strange matrix]

S7 will forever be the best season until a second vaiiya vs cns occurs

[hallow oar]

Buff sword horizontal clamp to 90⁰ and increase lunge damage to 130

[drifting cape]

game is unplayable, every season elo drops and you get so much worse teammates, from 40k im at 28 and in every game you get trolls, kids or guys that barely move the mouse

[plush dove]

Gotta make it where Xbox players can't appear offline to play. So many are 300+ days offline so either they're two boxing on PC or Kronos user trying to hide their activity. Not sure if thats even an option but I could literally write that code up in like 10-20 minutes

[stuck vapor]

Add pages for different saved weapon/gadget loadouts for light/medium/heavy

[simple ether]

This season in particular is bad. They dont perma ban cheaters (if they ban them at all). Amd there have been soooooooooo many of them this season. And there are several broken exploits like the riot shield that have been an issue basically all season and instead of fixing it, they give you more $20 fingernail skins. Just shows you where Embark's priorities are. I have zero faith that Arc Raiders will be any better.

[true void]

remove low gravity from WT

also yeah smoke/thermal combo needs more counters.

[meager shuttle]

EMBARK PLEASE NERF SMOKE

RANK EMBLEMS PLAT AND GOLD

FIX RANK

• Implement rank protection in ranked matches based on active participation time to address teammate disconnects. Rank gain or loss would be scaled proportionally to the portion of the match a player was present and contributing and a minimum active-time threshold to prevent abuse.
• Rank protection for consistent wins, where points earned over multiple matches or longer games are partially “banked,” so a short loss doesn’t wipe out all progress. OR temporary protection when joining a new bracket
• Do stricter matchmaking system in ranked to pair players i.e., ruby to ruby, diamond to diamond, plat to plat. If a match cannot be filled within 1 minutes, gradually relax the restrictions to maintain reasonable queue times.

Not sure if this has been suggested, but everyone keeps suggesting some medieval settings. I don’t think that would really fit but I do think there is a time that might fit that would still “fit” the genre and that would be the renaissance era, something like Venice, Italian armor and muskets, masks and carnivals etc, odilia fits that look as well.

this is NOT as important as the other stuff in this channel but rather a personal annoyance. I have some outfits that I’d like to make and use but due to certain unnecessary limitations I am unable to, such as combining the Vaiiya Notion Top with the Cash Box Hauler upper back accessory, or Dede’s Vest with Crossbody accessories. I personally think that these boundaries are pointless as clipping issues are present in other clothing combos and it really just irritates me as I have all the pieces, I just can’t put it all together.

Does anybody even find low gravity fun. It only seems to mess up my gameplay

[viral bear]

• Fix melee hit detection
• Ranked Powershift
• Have player card settings be contestant specific so we can match our banners/borders/badges for each one.
• Increase walkout time when your team is being introduced and doing emotes by 2-3 seconds, making it roughly similar in length to the victory equivalent. Many emotes that have "crescendos" in the latter half are cut off when set as intro, as seemingly the introduction time is 5ish seconds while many emotes take 7-9 seconds to fully play out.
• Bring back event cosmetics for money (not multibucks). FOMO crowd wins, exclusive crowd wins knowing they didn't have to pay for something others did, Embark wins because more money.

Dear Game Support Team,​
I am writing this letter with a heavy heart and a deep sense of urgency. I have been wrongly accused of cheating and using third-party software in your game, and I am here to plead my innocence.​
I truly love this game. It has been a source of joy, relaxation, and countless wonderful memories for me. I have spent a significant amount of time and effort in this game, not only because I enjoy the gameplay but also because I have built a community of friends within it. I would never, under any circumstances, do anything to compromise the integrity of the game or ruin the experience for others.​
I can assure you that my computer is completely clean. There are no virus programs, let alone any cheating software. I take the security and integrity of my gaming environment very seriously. I regularly run antivirus scans and ensure that my system is free from any malicious software.​
I sincerely hope that the game development team can conduct a thorough check of my computer to verify my claims. I am more than willing to cooperate fully in any investigation. I believe that once you look into it, you will find that I am innocent and that this ban was a mistake.​Please, I beg you to give me a chance to prove myself. I miss playing the game and interacting with my friends. I promise to always abide by the game's rules and play with the utmost honesty and sportsmanship.​Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to a favorable response.​Sincerely,

[urban estuary]

Please Embark, fix the hit registration for Shield. This is making me start to hate the game because of how unfair it is. More than 5 hits needed to make an elimination while they off me with a couple of bullets? And Shield is my fav weapon please i beg of you. Fix it please.

[rough shell]

People should not be able to make alt accounts to prevent any others at having a shot of making it to ruby and or if they are reported for cheating and have further advantages on players by making another account just to continue cheating or griefing players out of tournaments… alot of people complain about this and its a problem that needs to be addressed.. Also players are not playing ranked or anything else because of this problem… this prevents new players and advanced players besides pro players to have a good time and have a shot at getting better rewards. Thank you

[cerulean echo]

Today, I tried singing a song in game chat that mentions the character "Orochimaru" from Naruto, but it that name was censored. Then, we won the ranked match, and I tried to say "sik!" as in "cool" in American English, but that was censored too. now idk why these words are censored, but its alil ridiculous, from an American Centric pov., where we have freedom

STOP ALLOWING RAGE QUITTING ON POWERSHIFT. 3v5S ARE NOT FUN EVERY GAME.

[pulsar flame]

Game allows rage quitting on powershift?

[rustic tinsel]

Even if it's not 40º,as long as any form of aim lock exists,sword will have the most idiotic handling. Since the rotation clamp is clearly the biggest thing that makes the weapon unusable, it should not exist in the game at all.You should just revert sword back to how it was in S1 and S2, when there was no multi-hit. Sword back then was a bit weak, but that’s okay. It’s better than receiving a dumb patch that destroys the weapon’s original identity, even if it’s a weaker weapon.
Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do? Every weapon can naturally look back and attack. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees can do it?
Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
The occasional turning of aim was used to maximize multi-hit.
If the problem is wild turning, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if someone spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.
Why you have to ruin sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? M1 spam on a 150 HP class is not good. Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, and only listen to nerf whiners who never even used it?

Stop ruining the fun of the game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

[pliant glade]

maybe just want to out right remove riot right now till you fix it, still waiting on that winch rework too. since we hate "Free kills" like stun

[molten crater]

No need to get so pissed. You have Dash, Grapple and the best slide in the game on top of your crazy weapons. Also,
You could just stun them using Nullifier.

Also @odd plover I have the same occurance I already wanted to report it but you got there first.

Another thing. There is a bug that makes the CB-01 Repeater use up 13 shots at point-blank range to destroy a zipline. (I don't know if this is fixed already but maybe.)

Also I have a few suggestions of my own:

Gestures

• Finger Skateboard Trick
• Magic Spell/Wand (Cosmetic only, no ingame effect on what people are doing)
• Spin a Basketball on your finger

Skins

• Glue Gun skin for Goo Gun (this is a no brainer, can't believe it's not been added yet. [I think])
• Milk Carton skin for Pyro Grenade ("Moolah-tov Carton")
• Baseball[s] Skin for Throwing Knives
• Pie Launcher skin for CL-40 ("Pie-Shooter" or, if that sounds too much like Plants VS Zombies, "Delicious Demolisher")

Weapons/Gadgets/Specializations

• Gadget that lets you self-nullify
• Specialization that has a long cooldown but, on use, nullifies all opponents for 1.5 seconds, resulting in it being a powerful tool that can help your team set up.

[muted void]

fix explosions clearing smoke OR make people NEVER highlight in smoke, its so unfair when you're fully blinded in it but people can just see you if they're outside it

[safe ravine]

Not a bad take at all actually. Ranked would be so much more fair, and actually reward the teams that deserves to climb, instead of the griefed ones.

• But ranked should be 100% exclusively soloQ to begin with

[compact rivet]

Hey recently I’ve been facing alot random crashes and showed up with all the pop ups like network error etc. pls fix it

[olive adder]

the game have the worst performance in my steam account, fix it pls i cannot play

[neon ingot]

would be really cool if you could go into the practice range mid queue
especially for us in oce where you get 15 queue times

[pliant lichen]

Bump. Being able to do well in a thoroughly re-quing team is significantly less impressive than making do with who you're given and filling out your role candidly. If head to head isn't implemented some way or other into the actual ranked score assessment then the devs are blatantly wasting it's potential. Notice how the que times are crazy quick on the mode? Almost as if players REALLY like how it runs.

[fleet wolf]

Ranked is made unfair, why is it that i can melt people in 3v3 agianst Ruby players.

But once you get in a seed 1 game and you get third partied every time ( while obviously getting the most kills and wipes ) you can still lose 1,2K RS in the first round.

I think ranked should be 3v3 and world tour can stay in that gamemode.

[daring remnant]

Sword is too strong, not too weak. It needs to be nerfed and unable to lunge through a spears spin attack

[hollow kelp]

remove winch stun effect. also @junior onyx i can fully agree with this they need to add customizable colours for different aspects of the game

[junior onyx]

Colorblind accessibility makes the game near unplayable for me, the selected options make no sense, every single option has at least 2 teams with similar colors to the point its really hard to tell which team has procession of an objective or if a team is thirding, its even hard to see progrerss on some cashouts...color blindness is a spectrum and different for everyone who has it, so the accessibility options need to be customizable. Flipping on one of the options is also counter intuitive because it adds team colors your team will just not have or it will swap the team colors they do have adding a lot of confusion. Easy solution let us customize the 4 team colors, and the background of the objectives so we can chose our own. Add a toggle opt in setting that allows players to auto use the party leaders seleced colors to weed out confusion in game.

[fast mortar]

Can we please get a mythic “ finger gun” v9s skin heavily inspired by yuyu hakashu? The mythic aspect will be the bullets or beams coming out of your smoking finger.

[ionic viper]

how does bro find such a statistic

[twin helm]

smokes are op and theres a bug where they dont go away

[modern pelican]

Please embark, let us deal damage by throwing the statues of dead teammates at enemies. It happens so often when you’re mid-res and an enemy swoops in, so at least let my dead teammates be useful in some way, lol

[steep current]

Please fix ranked matchmaking, how is it at all fair for me (37k rs) to be put on a team with a (23k rs) and made to fight against teams who are ruby and diamond and then I still get quite heavily punished for not winning. I would so much rather wait much longer matchmaking times if it meant the matches were more fairly balanced.

[golden badger]

yes

[hazy vessel]

Can’t believe they haven’t took out the riot shield to fix it yet, what are you waiting for?

[proven crown]

I've asked the bunch of streamers about Smoke and Thermal - they all agree that completely removing both including barrels would be a great idea

Please do it - it's SO cheesy and just detracts from all the other far more fun gadgets and mechanics that should be used instead

[lucid field]

Please fix your revival
Why always resborn two teams nearby the same cashout? It's even possible that just as one team is revived, another team is revived immediately at the previous location, it's always a chaotic battle among three teams. No one would like such a game

[hybrid silo]

Sadly Embark after almost 2 years later still hasn’t realised that having a ranked mode with 4 teams is the worst competitive experience you can put in your game so you shouldn’t expect any logical decisions from them

[limber sundial]

significantly nerf pike and winch, significantly buff mesh shield, rework invis as a whole

[noble saddle]

Flames do not go through walls please fix this

[thorny lynx]

Really hope S8 brings something to the table other than a massive system overhaul. Yes we need good servers, better matchmaking, bug fixes (tons of stuff that really should have been dealt with already) and a massive UI rework.
But lots of us miss the old west of The Finals, S1 and S2 physics, exciting NOT STALE meta, interesting gameplay...
So, could we please get some cool stuff? #makethegamefunagain

[round isle]

Invis really shines in the heat of battle. It’s difficult to track through the chaos but detectable during footsies. I think it’s fine, If anything it should be totally invisible if you are not moving. People complain about smoke and thermal because they are often not equipped for it. It’s fine. If you’re not equipped for a situation it’s going to be able to overwhelm you. This has always been the case.

I think an indestructible stage where there are gridded rooms with doors on all sides could be fun. Maybe multi level height where just the floor is destructible? Like the old comedy bit or “most extreme elimination challenge”. I think indestructible “interactive” stages or areas should be further developed in general. There are only a few spots. Bernal turntable and the floating platforms.

[unkempt bridge]

Add an option to only mantle if im pressing/holding jump, same for ladders, if i get force mantled/vaulted and cancel an important action one more time im gonna lose it 💔
Sword clamp is gross, remove it or widen it by a lot.
And gimme back turret backstab and if you are feeling generous, goo

[warped meteor]

Separating face paint from body paint was such a gigantic W. It would be so rad if eyewear and facewear could be separated as well.

[sonic arrow]

Make pike and v9s play more around getting frequent headshots like their DMR/handgun counterparts

v9s plays like a semi-auto smg while pike plays like a long range semi auto assault rifle, so lessening the visual recoil, lowering the damage and increasing the headshot multipliers to 2x should fulfill the skill expression method these weapons both desire, considering the fact that they fit in with full automatic playstyles for some reason, hurting their identity.

adding more sights for both guns (pike especially) would help with this as well

[supple nebula]

I don't think, I, a fellow at Plat 2 (was Plat 3 prior to that match) should be fighting people with x2 my RS.
I know matchmaking for ruby/top players is an issue but jesus christ that's some seriously unfair stuff man

[paper hinge]

the blatant smurf accounts is insane it sucks that in less than month this game is already turning into every team is all lights its gone to shit that fast its sad and get rid of aim assist

[frozen tree]

Well I mean spear has a lot of problems, especially hitreg, and sword being able to dash past while you’re spinning (probably when the spear isn’t in that part of the spin) is not a big issue. Sword is far from strong, like most other melee weapons, and needs the clamp removed (in exchange for losing multihit)

[hoary yacht]

There seems to be an issue, it's happened a few times now in Power Shift - I'll be on the platform, we'll get it across the halfway point in sudden death (resulting in our win), and then we'll lose instantly. Our team will be the only people on the platform, no ringing alarms, and the confetti will pop. I'm not understanding why this is happening.

[sonic spoke]

Some of the "Smurf" accounts are probably banned players back with their umpteenth free account to just keep hacking.

[outer jetty]

Practice Range Rework ideas:

• 1. The ability to open a sector of any map in practice range in the right side.
• 2. Make practice range, Local/Listen server hosted.
• 3. A spawn menu, loadout menu. With one button or two. (Mobile menu)
• 4. One enemy that his health pool is 1000.
• 5. Damage Number indicator to see how much damage we deal.
• 6. Friendly fire Zone. (PvP, Area could go nice with the (1) idea above)
  Here's some ideas! Bye bye!

[half cipher]

#nerf riot-shield give HP so they wont abuse Bullet immune

[graceful snow]

just lost a game because the spear spin is such fucking buggy bs rn. They re inside of me and I dont hit them, no cover whatsoever. sometimes evens all the 3 hits from the spin at once, none connect. It is incredibly frustrating

[tired fable]

I really hate H2H's contracts, Hate so much them i don't want to play this mode anymore

[molten crater]

They're not even hard?

[unreal zodiac]

oh man I feel this so bad especially when the opponent tbags you or teammates flame you. its been buggy since it came out. all I know for some reason if the spin hits a certain amount of objects it legit stops just stops hitting things like its coded that way idk why tf. btw that includes walls, goo blobs, shields players, etc. im so tired of this bug. also since the devs have tried to fix it like twice calling it a "rare" bug. makes me wanna cry fr. FIX THE SPEAR 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[drifting schooner]

dematerializer grenade for lights please! jetpack for medium. glitch launcher gadget for heavy

[round goblet]

Wallrun Specilization when?

[silk bramble]

lol i just played, got to like 51,533 but literally ONLY gold and plat lobbies

[safe ravine]

Some feedback I want the devs to know:
I've been trying to get my friends back into the game since as far as I can remember. Unfortunately S1 was so frustrating for them, they are competitive players but even casual aspect wasn't functional back then due to terrible balance problems. So they dropped the game in an instant.
For me, I stuck to the game as I saw the imense potential this game had (and still has). Imo u have potential to be greater than Fornite and I still believe it.

I've been talking to them about the game throughout it's lifespan and how it has improved. But they are extremely reluctant to dl and play it again. They been avoiding this game like the plague, as they say it's dead, bad and anything you can imagine.
I have finally convinced them to try it again, they are willing to play it again, thanks to the recent hype around the game (esp. Charlie...). But I've insisted that they start playing it again when S8 releases.
So yeah that might sound funny, but I'm doing my part to bring new players in from FR community. I just hope that you'll do yours Embark.
Idk what you can do to improve, as I'm a diehard fan of your game and am prob very biased. But I just hope new player experience will be better in S8, matchmaking also (especially that). And also expect a cool theme like u did for S7 and not a themeless seaseon like the previous ones.
Seriously hope it's medieval/fantasy inspired. Could be a huge season.

So ye with that feedback I want you to understand your game is not easy for new players, with all the mechanics to learn, all the sweats to avoid, all the weapons and gadgets/spes to learn...
So, it's a good thing ur not adding anything new for S8, as they have alr so much to grasp. But your game need better quality of life, better lore.. to atract interest upon it.
Would be nice to also shadow ban, rubys to play only against rubys. New players to play only against new players. And get rid of smurfing.
That would be such an improvment.

[alpine summit]

Matchmaking’ gets thrown around as an excuse way too often. I started late in Season 1, and my first ranked run was in S2. I knew I’d be up against top 500 players or people above my skill level, but I didn’t let that stop me. I pushed myself and hit Diamond 4 in my rookie season, no advice, no direction, just determination.

Later, when I connected with players at my level, they gave me tough but honest criticism that helped me grow. Playing against more experienced players wasn’t easy, but it taught me something important: matchmaking isn’t what defines you, your willingness to learn, adapt, and keep pushing is.

Don’t use matchmaking as a crutch. Use it as fuel. Every tough match is a chance to level up, and if you stay consistent, the results will come. I get everyone doesn’t want to compete but this game does give everyone a chance to adapt I don’t know maybe I’m tweaking

[autumn oyster]

Is there any reason I should be matched against a Ruby squad while having the WORST medal in World Tour, playing solo, and with 0.17 KD teammates?
This kind of SBMM is disgusting

[sterile canopy]

WT has weak SBMM. If there aren't a lot of players in the queue at a given moment it won't really do anything. Play ranked for it to be significantly better.

[high latch]

Please add more customizable stick curves in the game. The different handle stick curves in different games make it difficult for me to play multiple games simultaneously. Don't make me choose between playing or not playing a game just because its curve is hard to adapt to.

[dusty blade]

Bring back the red hit markers embark

[hearty talon]

I second this so bad!
Also please keep Head 2 Head as a casual mode, it's great specially on SA where the only game mode still alive is Quick Cash (but take the big guy out for the permanent one)

[little plaza]

Effects should be more consistently colorized to match team color. For example, if orange team throws anti-grav, the effect should be orange not blue, same as demat effect, and gravity vortex effect. It would be clearer who initiated the effect.

[proud plinth]

Literally no one is saying this

[odd cedar]

idk what rank you are but for me im in gold and my last two "easy" tournaments have been horribly matchmade, one was a easy tournament against former diamond players and another very hard match against a former ruby. all of this in GOLD mind you. World tour AND ranked both need to get a matchmaking rework

[plain elbow]

the ranked system is shit and needs a rework. anyone who says its not is huffing cope

[slender girder]

Quite many do. But they're wrong 😉

[wet herald]

When you can match against the #1 player in the world in ranked (a team with 50k+rs more than yours) while in plat and still lose 400rs for losing, there is an issue with the matchmaking/rs system

[tacit whale]

There are way too many perks to the using the winch right now.
Currently it:

• counters the charge and slam,
• counters the mesh shield,
• counters the dome shield,
• it can pull the cash out,
• it barely has a cool down,
• it has a chance to catch people on the way back if you miss
• it catches players walking into it even if the hook isn’t near them,
• it has a long lasting stun effect that stops you firing back until it’s too late..

let’s not forget this f**ker has 350hp.

You literally just finished reworking the stun gun because it was a ‘free kill’.. how are you guys not seeing the similarities here? At least the stun gun let you turn and shoot back, also the class wielding it didn’t have 350hp. There’s no need to nerf it into the ground, just revert the stun back to what it was before and at the very least don’t let it counter the mesh or charge n slam.

[noble path]

Revert ALL nerfs to sledgehammer, nerf winch claw instead no one likes it, give the breach drill two charges, nerf demat already, healing beam should cool down quicker

[silent grove]

yes

[naive root]

I like this

[tepid summit]

make the game unbalanced but fun, stop with the competative stuff, if the game is right for a competative scene, it will makes its own

[weary drum]

day 420 of asking Embark to add 5 min leaver penalty to more game modes

[brave rover]

93R - small damage nerf
pike - fire rate nerf
winch - rework to not go through shields
glitch nade - only 1 charge
goo nade - only 1 charge
mesh shield - small buff
riot shield - continue improving shitty hitbox desync
ks23 - don't give it a headshot multiplier, give it two more shots and maybe a little more fire rate and it's golden

suddenly, game is cinema

[worldly thunder]

rework for the winch claw:

Instead of grabbing people and pulling them towards us, we should be able to yeet the player toward the direction we want (like the phys. gun in Garry's mod)

[mental delta]

Instead of having a “Quickplay Rank,” each mode therein (Quick Cash, Team Deathmatch, Terminal Attack, Power Shift) should have their own rank. Aaaand maybe consider having a special reward for maxing out all the ranks. Why?

1. world tour and ranked both have their own ranks, and they’re one gamemode. It’s a little strange for 4 gamemodes to share 1 rank even if it’s only cosmetic

2. this would incentivize people to return to a gamemode each season which gets more traffic to them and may end with a player discovering “wait… I like this now”

3. having specialized ranks can allow for specialized rewards - power shift can include things like spear skins, aps turret skins, TDM can have turret skins, mine skins - things that wouldn’t really qualify as “ranked/emerald” material but people would appreciate anyway

4… it is awesome idea :)

[wary crypt]

this kind of sbmm called no sbmm

[cold bolt]

add stricter sbmm in ranked and add at least some sbmm in casual (new players should not have to go through the "yuyuko-experience ")

make grav cube disperse smoke

revert sword rework, remove its multi-hit, and re-buff the lunge to 140

rework all the bad melees

remove the dumb reload wind up on model, and buff cerb to be an evenly considerable option vs the model (idk how)

[fierce dawn]

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

[rapid stream]

Remove winch claw

[torpid turtle]

Console is having connection problems. Me and my brother play on the same network and both wired. I'm not having problems but he's just solid freezing up. I play pc btw

[supple mortar]

Huge agree on this. Sword just needs a full revert.

[hybrid crater]

Something that I find really cool in The Finals are the sponsorships. I love how each team brings their own vibe and style to the arena.

My suggestion would be to bring seasonal sponsorship bundles that you can buy. For example, if next season would be a Space season, then add 3-4 team bundles with their own unique style but in that theme.

[true karma]

exclusively solo or full team only, no mixing, soloq and team with different ranks

idk Embark how did you do it but this is the kind of teammates I get in EVERY F GAME of quickplay, regardless if it's tdm or powershift. like wtf? why do I never get teammates at my account level? is nobody playing quickplay modes in EU?

[foggy haven]

! EMBARK HEAR ME OUT !

We need weapon categories !
Every class got pistols, shotguns, Rifles and Melee...
The Horizontal UI begin to be overwhelming with the amount of tools available.
It should improve QoL during prematches, not wasting time searching for a weapon.
Or at least a filter by name, by level ranking (or both possibilities?)

I'm sure this is a good idea to think about !
Have a nice day !

[wooden atlas]

I have the same problem brother. I can count on one hand the number of times I actually had teammates of my caliber for the entirety of this last week. S8 had BETTER bring some matchmaking fixes—this one-sided matching is ruining the game for everyone, noobs and veterans alike.

You’re not supposed to. Even if one fully disconnects you’re not supposed to. But it definitely still happens smh

Menu background feature! Similar to CS2 where the main menu background is a map of your choice, I’d love to see this where you have the option between the season themes, maps, events.. etc

[untold hazel]

add map voting please

[raven topaz]

1.Winch range is too great. It should not hit on the way back, makes no sense, how can it grab. It's like a stun gun 100+ dmg free unless 1 hp. It can pull into enemy team. It can move objects especially cashouts into the open so it's super hard to steal. Stun gun was removed because it often "guaranteed a kill", yet the winch does the same. + all the listed abilities it is too strong. 2.CL40 is too strong, dmg you could say is okay (100dmg I think a bit too high). It can move cashouts (push them off sth for ex) and flick away trophies so you can't revive. It instantly destroys most gadgets (mines, sensors) and turrets etc. very fast. It does immense building dmg, destroying the structure under or around you very fast so you fall or lose cover (everything destroyed is very annoying). It's also splash dmg so you can hit behind cover, over things or multiple people. So same problem here, too strong with all the added benefits and a pita. 3.Akimbo is too precise, makes no sense as you are holding two pistols without aiming in down sight/through scope, every game makes akimbo weapons unprecise for a reason, you usually get the added benefit of shooting faster and having lots of total bullets (maybe add some). 4.Pike 50 dmg little too high imo. 5.Demat is way too strong, poof wall gone and back again (player disappears to flee). it can make others fall into the team easily. It can provide an instant window to shoot through (infinite angles). It is very strong at following players that are vulnerable as you cut through the wall. It has the mega strong ability of dropping a cash, then you flee/drop it on a pad to fling it/deploy gas mines, makes it frustrating for the enemy team stealing and you waste a lot of time with this. It can usually with the help of a winch or pad, easily fling the cash away to an easy spot. It can create a hole for enemies to fall into as a defensive move. 6.Same spawns are ruining matches as you easily camp them, worst in the final round. 7. LAG

[little axle]

INFUSER:
is infuser still going to be a thing next season? gadget is straight up ridiculous, its better at everything when comapred to healing beam, every fight can be turned around by just that single gadget, creating it was a mistake:)

[cerulean birch]

1. Winch is weak and it should have 20m of range, a bigger hit cone, and should have the OG stun gun effect
2. CL40 is kinda useless and could definitely use a buff, double the damage radius, no damage falloff, and 350 damage
3. Akimbo is terrible at hitting things and needs to have aimbot, makes no sense how i can be holding 2 pistols and not instantly kill everything
4. Pike 50 dmg is way too small, im using a DMR, it should be a 1 shot to the head
5. Demat sucks and needs to take down the entire building in 1 charge and i should have infinite charges
6. Consistent spawns are great because it makes it easier for me to farm people
7. WE NEED MORE LAG

[rancid ridge]

add match history

[muted void]

invisibility grenade needs to be nerfed hard, either way longer cooldown, or shorter invisibility, right now its literally better than cloak because it lasts about as long and recharges fast enough that you can literally spam it to give your entire team invis constantly

give us emerald tokens embark for Gods sake, let us choose what weapons we want these skins for dammit, and either way we're gonna run out of new weapons for emerald eventually so why not? and let us be able to switch emerald skins that we have with ones that were in the same TIER in previous seasons, tf do I wanna do with emerald riot shield from emerald 2 were I want my emerald famas from emerald 2 from se 5

Always two teams.Why always resborn two teams nearby the same cashout? It's even possible that just as one team is revived, another team is revived immediately at the previous location, it's always a chaotic battle among three teams.
No one would like such a game.
I am very tired of this kind of game. I have witnessed two teams resurrecting consecutively in the same place, or two different places but very close to me

sooo im level 88 but i can't change my player number to 88 are we being dead ass. and of course everyones first thaught when thinking about the number 88 is... nazis?! this game IS NOW officialy racist for INTENTIONALY leaving in a blatant hate symbol !!! unplayable.

Since Nexon owns The Finals, then why don’t collab with Blue Archive and make bundles for Arona and Plana outfits?
And the weapon inspect animation would be opening the umbrella

[desert igloo]

Spear needs a buff the time to kill is way to slow it should 2 hit light 3 hits for medium and 3 maybe 4 hits for a heavy. I personally believe the and the alt attack it’s horrible and think I shout be completely changed but if you where to fix it you should definitely start by making the attack cancel able and buff the damage a good bit or at least enough to one shot a light. I personally believe that it should be changed altogether you possibly could change it to a throw. You could change it to a lunge. You could change in so many different ways but the current one is really bad and situational. It’s hard to get use out of it especially when you’re going against a lot of lights and the state of the spear right now literally is like unviable unless you’re using the winch claw. Or you could scrap all of that and just move the spear to another class that suits it’s move set better preferably light

[simple ether]

Idk how many times a day I run into a teamate who is AFK while at the same time an opponent on the enemy team is clearly cheating. Embark better start taking these cheaters seriously if they want to keep people playing. This game is quickly becoming unplayable.

[raw thicket]

Give MGL32 direct hits so it’s actually usable, return dagger to 180 degree backstab angle , increase sword clamp to 90 degrees so you can actually use qm combos with lunge, buff all support based gadgets on medium like a decrease in defib sickness down to 1-2 seconds , a buff to healbeam max capacity of like 800 or more hp, remove ks23 spread when aiming down sights and simply remove winch and pike from the game!

[echo furnace]

i mean i get it that u guys did something to riot shield (idk i don't understand) but the fact is after that "fix" there is always 1-2 riot shiled in game (riot shield should be a niche weapon/gun to use like sladge hammer, dual sword and dagger) bc maybe before the update it was easier to hit but right now even when on your screen you have clear shot to his face there is no hit reg and its just frustrating. Othere gun like the 3 shot burst light gun is just not realistic, u nerfed the rpm of the gun but that was not the problem of the gun but the fact that a BURST PISTOL can do same dmg to mid-long range as a AR or any other mid-long range gun like bruh the revolver and pike has lower dmg to mid/long range than the burt light weapon. Just to be clear fcar uses 5.56x45mm ammo and the pike i would guess uses 7.62x51 or 7.62x54 ammo witch in fact has a longer range then 9mm just pls do something about this its the same as xp-54 having the most dmg at every range

NEXT SEASON SNEEDS TO BE MEDIEVAL SEASON

[tiny void]

Honesty, as much as medium struggles with melee at times, riot and dual blades need some work with their blocking features. I think Riot would work well in a similar manner to mesh shield, or even treating it as a kind of respawnable terrain. Dual blades would feel better to fight against with a stamina bar attached. These are rough suggestions, but I think they're valid ideas.

[unkempt bridge]

Buff dagger or else

[frozen tree]

I don’t think removing things is a good idea, it opens the door for so many issues and doesn’t fix much. It’s a slippery slope

[jagged vector]

What is this bs embark

[swift monolith]

Riot shield needs a nerf; it's too overpowered. To fight against them you need to either cater your entire loadout or designate two people to get around the shield. Either make it so that it can break after absorbing anough damage like all other shields in the game (with a cooldown) or fix the hitbox so that you can actually deal damage when they are shielding.

[leaden shell]

the shield is not that big of a threat to people with good positioning and movement...the only reason riot is strong ow is because everything else shoots like a bbgun....we need buff to weapons not nerfs to gimmick weapons if we keep nerfing everything we just end up with yet another stale meta season....on top of the embark i love the sa12 and shak dont get me wrong but the meta for heavy is so stale the past few season i would like to see some buffs to get other weapons to shine in the spotlight for s8. Also @jagged vector if u click on the riot shiled in the main lobby and read its description it literally says it blocks incoming projectiles with includes the rpg

[cold bolt]

fix riot hitbox to match what we see

full revert sword to 1.0 iteration (no multihit, 140 lunge)

make grav cube disperse smoke and gas

revert hammer nerfs

buff the week melees / rework

nerf pike to emphasize headshots over bodyshots

add stronger sbmm to ranked and add sbmm in general to casual modes (in conjunction fix the rs values to account for sbmm, no -800 for a first round bs if it's all rubies

[muted void]

make the end screen for matches a single screen and not multiple seperate endscreens, i should not have to press space 10+ times to get back to the menu, the end screens also needs to not boot you out of other menus (like the report menu) repeatedly, and it needs to stop snapping your mouse to the center of the screen repeatedly, this is the most infuriating and anti-player UI i have come across and genuinely makes me mad

Also, im a riot shield main (and know how to counter) so i have good knowledge on this, but it should seriously be disabled until it can be properly and permanently fixed fixed, its hitbox was fixed in a previous update, but is again broken, horribly broken, even more than before, giving you basically 360 degree bullet protection, AND somehow invincibility against explosions, shot 3 cl40s at a riot shield user and they took 0 damage, not even any splash damage from a shot at their feet/floor either, i've also magdumped them from behind, but somehow it all gets blocked by a riot shield that isnt there, i've also magdumped their front when they arent blocking, and it all gets blocked, riot shield currently just gives the user literal invincibility right now because of how horrifically bugged it is

[granite sand]

I dont know which Embark official thought it was a good idea not to add a new weapon or specialization each season but this might be the worst decision I’ve ever seen. I’ve been playing since the beta and the reason I kept playing was because I believed the game would be rich in content. The quality of the battle passes has dropped, there’s no meaningful innovation and the pointless nerfs and buffs are starting to get frustrating. God is my witness if I don’t see a new weapon or specialization next season, I’ll quit this game. Aside from removing the recon sense, and adding the grappling hook and dematerialization, what innovation have you brought to specializations in 8 seasons to make such a ridiculous statement? Its no surprise the player count is dropping…

[shrewd echo]

Someone told me my skills were dog water, and I said at least I know how to feed an animal. I don't have feelings, but could Embark censor people's hate when I do bad against hackers? I'm not entitled, you don't owe me anything. I just want Embark to see how entitled these new age gamers are.

[versed sorrel]

Remove the token system for old Battle Passes if I already paid for it, and you want to keep some of the grind experience fine. But dont make me have to click through 3 menus, then click right 4-5 times to get to whatever page I am on, just to then make me manually spend tokens on each item in the tier, why do you hate your customers???

[rocky elk]

Been saying since s1

[worn lintel]

From now on, if you pair me with players who get 0 kills, im just gonna wait in back until next round. No more “please help this people” matchmaking. 👍😃
Fix your matchmaking and save your game.

[waxen thicket]

• add manual detonation trigger on aim for MGL32 so that it's not useless 80% of the time
• add a forward lunge to Dual Blades' 3rd hit so that it's no longer a worthless dps loss
• keep riot shield lowered to chest while running so that it's easier to escape from
• remove all wall destruction weapons and gears from Terminal Attack as well as the canisters, make it the only mode where the maps can be experienced without destruction (or better yet, just replace it with head2head)
• add Chu Ko Nu for heavy and Tommy Gun for medium

[keen lily]

I'm never ever going to grind quickplay badge again... it's omega trash with 0 sbmm, ruins the experience for both old and new players

[pale aspen]

Buff the M11, XP54, Sword and every Light specialisation. Increase the dmg of the Matter shotgun and give the LH1 the dmg it had up to Season 5.

Everyone cries so much about the Light class being too fast, strong and unbalanced. Good Light mains spend 400+ hours to master movement and positioning, how about you guys do the same to learn how to counter all playstyles instead of continuously whining and smashing your fingers on the keyboard typing things like: 'I pLaYed ThIs gAmE fOr 30 HoUrS, LiGhT Is So UnFaiR UHHhhHHHh, pLs NeRf EvErYhInG oN LiGhT'

Crybaby behaviour

Ask money from indian they will help you setup server in india if embark studio is poor and dont have funds to setup a server

[hasty citrus]

Jesus christ nerf the CL-40 or rework it, it's literally not fun to fight against. they jump like bunnies while hip firing making them impossible to escape

[wooden holly]

i don't know where report bugs, but i got stuck in select screen, i think that happens because i entered in a mid game and the team died so i got the respawn ui and idk how did i get out of it, but my name and player ui was soooo long distance from the map (maybe there is the room selection), and i couldn't event rotate camera without shooting or aiming

[slow crescent]

I waiting for fantasy theme season!

[vapid pine]

Remove riot shield

[livid jacinth]

Implement a harsh rank penalty for people leaving ranked matches (penalty as high as reaching the final round [not necessarily first place]).

[fair dagger]

add an sound indication when you load into a game and possible even when you respawn that ignores mute when minimized option, i frequently alt+tab after clicking play and get reminded of it only by afk warning

Embark where is hype and marketing for season 8?

[twin oriole]

breach charges are bugged. on some surfaces they do nothing. even multiple breach charges. very annoying when trying to open floors below cashout boxes. also sometimes they make huge holes, sometimes very small ones. sometimes they only destroy the decoration they are placed on, leaving walls intact, sometimes they destroy half the buidling... please fix them, and make them consistent/predictable.

[hollow gazelle]

Please nerf Flamethrower ❤️‍🔥

[full oak]

please buff sword

[tacit whale]

Revert the stun effect on winch, nerf the range on the db

[mental delta]

On the new skater set, please create separate items for the cap and the headphones, like how in the Miss Demeanor Drop set there were separate items for just the ears or just the headband. Honestly at some point just please create new item entries where existing combination headwear are divided.

Also... why are the new Charmalure items 800MB? The previous ones are 600, is this intentional?

[daring fossil]

can you guys do something about the LH1? man I remember when it was actually a rewarding and skillfull gun to use, and not when you guys buffed it for no reason, and then promptly made it one of the worst weapons in the game. It's the reason I stopped buying skins btw. Also the bug where you can't shoot or throw anything and your gun just reloads forever is STILL in the game.

[final drift]

10v10 cashout
do it

[odd plover]

6v6 cashout?
go!

[slender girder]

Pike is OP as many have said before me.

Also weird you have let Winch be a free kill button for this long.

Hoping to see better/more balance changes next season!

Also I liked the old destruction better. Now many maps just fall apart and it becomes tricky to move etc. And hard to reach the platform in Power Shift in some instances.

[high seal]

my the finals wishlist

kamen rider bujin sword outfit
kingsman shit (umbrella at the least)
throwable shield like captain America for medium

[mental sky]

Make C&S immune to winch claw, and mesh should block it

[ebon birch]

give us emerald tokens so we can choose which weapons we want these skins for, emerald isn't as hard as diamond and ruby embark, so it's okay to let us have any weapon we want and even be able to switch between the ones we already have with ones that we don't

[rustic tinsel]

Even if it's not 40º,as long as any form of aim lock exists,sword will have the most idiotic handling. Since the rotation clamp is clearly the biggest thing that makes the weapon unusable, it should not exist in the game at all.You should just revert sword back to how it was in S1 and S2, when there was no multi-hit. Sword back then was a bit weak, but that’s okay. It’s better than receiving a dumb patch that destroys the weapon’s original identity, even if it’s a weaker weapon.
Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do? Every weapon can naturally look back and attack. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees can do it?
Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
The occasional turning of aim was used to maximize multi-hit.
If the problem is wild turning, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if someone spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.
Why you have to ruin sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? M1 spam on a 150 HP class is not good. Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, and only listen to nerf whiners who never even used it?

Stop ruining the fun of the game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

[upbeat urchin]

Fix spear secondary attack please (make it cancelable and resets when winched)

[unique shell]

Great game, absolute banger of musics from the developers. Every aspect of the game is 10/10. Consistent gameplay, awesome building demolition, creative movement mechanics, game events are extremely fun as well, the cosmetics are top tier, developers did a very great job at designing the game.

A few things that i have issues with are:

1. Unstable servers, i believe there isn't much server host, anyone who selects "Asia" server seems to be playing on Japan servers, which isn't very good stable connection from a lot of other countries
2. Game Optimization, the game isn't very optimized, and it crashes a lot for me, not sure about other players. The game visuals are all very stunning but it isn't very optimized. I understand most of the developers have moved on to develop the new game but I hope devs can look into this and fix the issue!
3. Keybinds, it isn't very well developed on this part. For example, for default the Lctrl is for hover down in free cam spectator mode, but i binded my Lctrl to something else, there isn't any option to bind that hover down to another key. Not very intuitive.

Other than that, 10/10 game, devs really need to fix the unstable server and bad optimization, would always support this game if nothing goes wrong

[rigid dust]

Once again today, I got one crushing win and two crushing losses. I guess the matchmaking was made by someone who thinks this is what a fair game looks like.

Would truly be 10/10 if they added this back in the game 😄

[west axle]

Why does the gas canister shoot to the left when you melee throw it now

[cinder aurora]

In the onboarding update with the playstyle classes you should add a small 2-3 pop up tutorial about how to build outfits. I could be an anomaly but when I started I didn't know the contestents tab wasn't where you can mix and match pieces of clothing from the store. I literally for 5 outfits made a new contestant and unequiped all the stuff they had pre-equiped and trial and errored alot with photo memory to find stuff that matched, when the outfits subsection lets you pick and choose without it unequiping the piece you want to match

[tired fable]

No news about S8 yet ? come on Embark !...

[austere atlas]

why screen is getting stuck at waiting for other contestant when match starts....soo annoying

[vivid kite]

you should not be punished for ranked teammates failing to join/leaving.

[runic sierra]

oh my goodness i love world tour i love how you guys say youre gonna experiment with new ideas and do the same thing every season oh my godddd its so funn auauauauauuagh

[hoary gate]

Winch stun should end the same moment the heavy is able to shoot. There doesn’t need to be this gap in time where you are completely defenseless. Lights can’t even get away from shak winch with dash because the heavy has enough time to put 3 headshots in and get the kill.

[foggy haven]

Stop nerfing or buffing; BUT PLEASE BALANCE THE GAME. Add to this the crappy SBMM that match you with newbies ? No way Embie.
No i don't want to matern a dude who just installed. I want to WIN. Just make a casual lobby or something with level limit.
When i have +400 hours in 2 months, with good rating in general (0.8 W/L) with 0.9 - 1.2 K/D. Why do you match me with a lvl 5 dude ? it's insta loose, he have no clue ! he have no mic ! none of us is having good time.

SO WHAT I DO ? I just reverse boost, yes thats right. I suicide 10 times, lower my score at minimum. so i know the next lobby i will be matched with better mates.
No one is acknowledged of it if you never played cod in your life, but it is the only way when you know try hard isn't enough to make the difference. I can't play for 3 people, it's exhausting. I can just play my character and provide teamplay. Out of the discord as soon as i start Ranked, I should be matched with similar ratings ( OBJECTIVES GRANTED - K/D - W/L - REVIVES) Not everyone should be on this server to appreciate Finals. dudes STILL DEFIBING YOU IN FRONT OF A FLAMETHROWER EVEN WITH DEFIB NERF !!!

it's furiously frustrating in every single game modes.
I would like to match with normal persons without having to go on discord.

[rich lynx]

Staying partied up with people is completely insignificant when the entire friends and communication system is complete trash. Why is there no messaging people? If someone invites me while i was looking at my phone then he might as well have not invited me at all a completely silent 10 second prompt disappears just as quickly as it came. If i join some randoms party im not even allowed to invite my friend because im not the leader. I cant type wtf. I cant even type mutiple question marks in a row without the question marks being censored? Snowflakes

[next flax]

Once again why are U increasing the price of items? You're now charging 800 for charmalure when every other is 600. What is the point of this? 1100 down from 1800 is a good deal. Please stop trying to nickel and dime us. Stuff like this makes me not want to play

[plain elbow]

thank god we get another store update instead of fixing literally anything else 🤡

[unreal blaze]

Hello Embark,

Introducing Playstyles is a fantastic idea for helping new players navigate loadout choices. However, the current loadouts lack mobility and synergy, which will frustrate both new and experienced players. We don't want new players' first impression to be experienced players leaving matches when they see a bad Playstyle loadout.

To enhance the Playstyles concept, I have revamped the loadouts to include better mobility options and improved synergy.

I feeel like the Skateboard cosmetics are for me- I'm a skater!
But I can't help but cringe at the King Pin missing! these trucks just don't look convincing.
Also the missing kingpin being replaced with the ... shape...
that pertrusion would probably hang you up skating in the streets and surely wouldnt make grinding rails any easier..

Fix it, and I will buy every skateboard cosmetic in the game (nocap)

sniper buff incoming?

not damage though

nerf riot shield. make like a cooldown on the shield or something

Nerf db
Revert buff sword
Add hp to riot shield
Nerf pike
Nerf winch add ability to cancel winch whit quik melee

[proud plinth]

I'd also like to see some grind marks on a couple of the skateboards. I've seen one of the bundles has a skateboard that has some tail ware but nothing on the trucks or the underside of the deck where even a beginner would have marks from attempting boardslides. Would just be nice to have small details like that.

[jagged vector]

Even so the riot shield is still broken, the hitbox doesn’t match and with the melee distance buff all melee weapons got its straight up ridiculous, you need a whole team almost to take it down or use all your gadgets to kill someone using it. I agree we need to buff stuff tho to make everything well rounded.

[sterile canopy]

Distance buff? They've all had hitbox tweaks and a few got longer lunge ranges a while back, but I don't remember nor have experienced what you describe.

[strange shard]

Hope we can refresh/reroll contracts.
Fairly new and I still have the earn 45k cash in a single match and I'm trying to avoid ranked til the coming new season and I keep getting skill issued in World Tour as a solo player.

Please fix your revival
Always two teams.Why always resborn two teams nearby the same cashout? It's even possible that just as one team is revived, another team is revived immediately at the previous location, it's always a chaotic battle among three teams.
No one would like such a game.
I am very tired of this kind of game. I have witnessed two teams resurrecting consecutively in the same place, or two different places but very close to me

riot shield is too strong.A weapon that can run while blocking bullets is really stupid and strong，damage like Cerberus shotgun 90≈99 and no need aim ，so what is the significance of Cerber's existence？

I expect nothing less than a BIG meta shake up with Season 8 next week, just in time before the big Major tournament..

Nerf winch cringe back to 10 meter range, lower stun effect, REMOVE second hit on the way back, make the chain break if you get stuck on a ledge so Heavies can't just spam it in any situation

ALL lights are forced to play Dash to counter this clown ability, zero build variety!!

1 button press is dictating the whole meta right now, it's all you gonna see at the majors and it's gonna be boring AF

Nerf Pike to 49 damage and lower fire rate, hard-counters sniper and LH1

Nerf Demat recharge time

Nerf Evasive trash

Reduced max ammount of Pyro mines carriable to ONE (just like expl. and glitch mine)

Buff Model Reload

Bring back OG LH1, buff hip fire

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly

Buff Breach charge/Vortex fuse time, takes forever to activate

Give iron sights to sniper extend hitscan range by 10 meters

Add more map modifiers and let them have a bigger impact, for example "fog" should actually limit viewing distance drastically, so gadgets like thermal and sonar grenades actually serve a purpose besides smoke+steal shenanigans

[topaz jungle]

Buff all gadgets, reduce all cooldowns, and stop muting the most compelling tools in your game

[random lagoon]

Wouldn’t it make more sense to not have a lot of that before the majors? Isn’t that like the whole reason they’re not doing big changes right now?

ADD A FUCKING ROUND COUNTER ALREADY

[south belfry]

If I'm not mistaken, if you choose a sponsor in a season, no matter how many times that sponsor has appeared and had new sets come out, you're always just limited to one tier of their cosmetics. Could there be a way to earn up through their tiers in a single season if you've never chosen them before?

For example, I'd like to be able to get the Iseult tier 2 set, but I wasn't around when they were sponsors, and I'd have to start at tier 1 and be stuck there for who knows how long until they make 2 additional appearances from now. I feel that this can be annoying for many players.

[raven topaz]

1.Winch range is too great. It should not hit on the way back, makes no sense, how can it grab. It's like a stun gun 100+ dmg free unless 1 hp. It can pull into enemy team. It can move objects especially cashouts into the open so it's super hard to steal. Stun gun was removed because it often "guaranteed a kill", yet the winch does the same. + all the listed abilities it is too strong. 2.CL40 is too strong, dmg you could say is okay (100dmg I think a bit too high). It can move cashouts (push them off sth for ex) and flick away trophies so you can't revive. It instantly destroys most gadgets (mines, sensors) and turrets etc. very fast. It does immense building dmg, destroying the structure under or around you very fast so you fall or lose cover (everything destroyed is very annoying). It's also splash dmg so you can hit behind cover, over things or multiple people. So same problem here, too strong with all the added benefits and a pita. 3.Akimbo is too precise, makes no sense as you are holding two pistols without aiming in down sight/through scope, every game makes akimbo weapons unprecise for a reason, you usually get the added benefit of shooting faster and having lots of total bullets (maybe add some). 4.Pike 50 dmg little too high imo. 5.Demat is way too strong, poof wall gone and back again (player disappears to flee). it can make others fall into the team easily. It can provide an instant window to shoot through (infinite angles). It is very strong at following players that are vulnerable as you cut through the wall. It has the mega strong ability of dropping a cash, then you flee/drop it on a pad to fling it/deploy gas mines, makes it frustrating for the enemy team stealing and you waste a lot of time with this. It can usually with the help of a winch or pad, easily fling the cash away to an easy spot. It can create a hole for enemies to fall into as a defensive move. 6.Same spawns are ruining matches as you easily camp them, worst in the final round. 7. LAG#

[sour oak]

EMBARK. Can we please remove the grind for the basic colors you receive when leveling up your weapon. No new player is gonna wanna grind for the color white. Let alone be motivated too, I recommend you remove the basic blue, red, yellow, and white and replace the lvl 7 or 10 to a lvl 1. Considering it’s just not as cool as the lvl 6 or 9. PLEASE EMBARK it’ll do you some good In the long run 👍🏼

[remote bramble]

REMOVE torney difficulty please it makes players that are actually good at the game get qued with people who are bad so even if they place well they lose 200rr for being 3rd

[sacred siren]

Can't count to 2?

[hearty bough]

Buff heal beam to contend with Demat. 90% of M’s pick demat at all skill levels because it’s objectively the strongest spec - BUT I don’t think demat needs a nerf (nerf = less fun).

Maybe rework turret because right now it is insanely weak but if you buff it then all of the low level players will complain about it being annoying (which is why it was nerfed in S2 to its current dogwater state).

Also please fix riot shield visual sync so that people can stop complaining about an otherwise B tier weapon.

Lastly find a way to make CL40 viable but less annoying (again, it’s weak in high level but low level players consistently cry about CL40) - maybe reduce damage/visual clutter caused by the explosion, buff the mag size or the reload speed, and buff the arena damage so it can 3 shot walls/floors to give it better utility

[tacit whale]

Revert the stun effect on winch, it’s being absolutely abused right now.You guys love tweaking shit based on pick rates so do something already.

Also the sick rick thing in store is an insult to skateboarding, mfers is carrying 2 Fisher-Price skateboards, mall grabbing one whilst holding the grip tape against his clothes on the other. Absolutely Heinous shit. Make him snap the board atleast 😖😭

[lapis trench]

i love being suspended cus my internet died and i have to reload the game to switch my internet to a working one.
solutions:

• Don't punish me if i reconnect and FINISH THE ROUND.
• Let me switch internet without reloading the game. (it just gets stuck on "connecting" or smthn)

I'm sure there's some way to detect the sequence of events being connection lost and reconnecting into a round, to prevent punishment evading.

[raw quail]

agreed I think that would enable intresting counterplay

[dark niche]

yeah completely change the meta right before the majors that makes sense

[waxen thicket]

-add manual detonation trigger on RMB for MGL32 so that it's actually useful in most fights with a higher skill ceiling than CL40

-add forward momentum to Dual Blades' 3rd hit combo so it's no longer an useless dps loss that's less preferable than the quick melee

-make the riot shield arm lower while running to make it easier to stop them when theyre sprinting at you

-add Chu Ko Nu crossbow for Heavy and Tommy Gun smg for Medium, this would finally give Heavy and Medium their respective missing weapon types, Marksman Weapons and SMG respectively.

-add a tiny 15% headshot bonus to shotguns pellets , this would pull most of them out of useless tier without buffing the meta ones like SH1900.

[upper lynx]

Buff the M60.

[drowsy rose]

Matchmaking is shit. melee is shit. omg can't play shit or get shit done

[spiral hemlock]

This is minor, but would really love a visual indicator of how close a demat wall/object was from automatically closing. It’s currently a transparent blueish color, so maybe it can fade to orange-ish and then red-ish towards the end to show it’s about to close on its own?

sometimes it gets me killed/ i try to drop a nade through or anything else and it closes at a bad time, having this visual indicator would help

[royal kettle]

For atleast 7 matches straight TDMs I've been going against emeralds and Ruby's which am used to by now being level 90 with almost 50 k kills, yet for some reason my whole team is composed of levels 1 to 20 who don't even know what's happening. Am I supposed to carry the team every fucking match to have a chance? It seems the more kills I get the less and less my team does shit. The matchmaking is a fucking joke and embark your team is full of fucking imbeciles who have their head so far up their ass they haven't seen sunlight since you created this shitfuck game

Can we please do emotes with sound bytes mixed together?

Yes please, I never use these visual emotes, and also never see anyone use it too. Combining them would be great

Or atleast put them in the sound emote wheel, cuz my character emote and spray wheel is full but im not removing any to put those lame visuals.

Change dual blades by removing the combos and making each attack deal 65/65 DMG each

[plain elbow]

you would think after 7 SEASONS THEY WOULD FIX THE RUN BUG 💀
(small indie dev team btw)

[muted void]

upgrade your servers or buy better ones. the hitreg genuinely makes me want to uninstall this game

[sage ether]

couple suggestions for balancing riot shield and to a lesser extent dual blades:

• add more hard counters for each class. currently flamethrower is the only hard counter, and only one class has access to it
• add more limitations. for riot shield it could be one or a couple of these: only block damage while holding right click, shield breaks and needs a cooldown after taking enough damage, reduce the hitbox size.

Please fix your Resurrection Point
Always two teams.Why always resborn two teams nearby the same cashout? It's even possible that just as one team is revived, another team is revived immediately at the previous location, it's always a chaotic battle among three teams.
No one would like such a game.
I am very tired of this kind of game. I have witnessed two teams resurrecting consecutively in the same place, or two different places but very close to me

riot shield is too strong.A weapon that can run while blocking bullets is really stupid and strong，damage like Cerberus shotgun 90≈99 and no need aim ，so what is the significance of Cerber's existence？

[sonic arrow]

[muted chasm]

Embark, Fix winchclaw, theres no reason why you should be able to Winch through 2 WALLs, winch a heavy through a vent this BS is far more broken than recon sense ever was

[last knot]

Pls add a green(or even better, an entire color pack) variant of the calm cool lenses.

[outer jetty]

Make the Winch Claw break if it catches anything behind a wall. (That isn't in the visual sight of the user(Heavy player)) .

Being caught behind a wall is unfair. Just because heavy picked me for a second, Doesn't mean he gets the guarantee winch catch for doing that.

If i get caught in his visual view. It should be fair. But if i'm not in his visual view. That's just unfair.

This idea could lead to a tech. If it breaks. The velocity still exists. Or remove some velocity mid-catch break velocity to give some chance to the victim to run away instead of being launched.

Extra: Reduce the stunlock mid-catch duration. (Being catched far as 13 meters, Shouldn't hold you for that long)

[marsh onyx]

Consider having the platform in Power Shift heal you if you're moving it. Think of the payload in Team Fortress 2 healing you by pushing it. The healing would be incredibly passive, less than the healing orb item.

This would actually incentivize squishy lights to push forward and potentially push the platform, even if just for a few seconds.

Power Shift is definitely a fun and casual mode, but I don't like how its become a defacto Team Deathmatch for some players who outright refuse to play objective!

[static vale]

why are we nerfing dagger every season for the last 4 seasons? its the second highest skill weapon in the game (after mgl32) i say bring back goo and turret backstabbing and buff the backstab charge time by like .1s or smth

Add bank if back instead of TA, I bet more people would play it rather than TA, or add it as fifth mode

[simple ether]

Of course they dont. Plus they only cater to new players. Got to keep them playing long enough to buy $20 skins. The fact that every veteran of the game hates/complains about Low Gravity and do they remove it? Nope. Instead they nerf all the skill based weapons, buff all the low skill use weapons and give everyone healing gadgets making the TTK even worse. Embark hates its veteran player base.

[mental delta]

Revert the recent goo nerfs and instead buff the counters - make explosives a more reliable deterrent (buffs to pyro nade, thermal bore, frag grenade, explosive mine)

Frag grenade has fallen off hard since the nerf. I understand 2x150 is a bit much on paper but only having 1 honestly is not fun, especially with how prevalent smoke is becoming and how explosives are supposed to counter smoke, and also how after you reduced the frag count to 1 you increased the smoke count to 3. Bring frag back to 2 minimum and nerf the damage a tad more if need be, no less than 110.

Explosive mine… you guys gotta figure this one out, just giving it two charges isn’t gonna make it good.

All I’m gonna say for the remainder of this message is this: if Glitch Grenade can have 2 charges, every grenade should, period. Not saying Glitch Grenade is OP or toxic or anything, it’s balanced well. But there’s no reason for pyro and gas nade to only be 1 while glitch has 2 and their mine forms have 2.

Nerf Sniper, it’s a long range gun not a shotgun, increase ADS and make hip fire very inaccurate, EXTREMELY inaccurate

[shadow elk]

Random Idea:

Light gets a whip as a longer range melee weapon that can maybe fling carriables towards you when used on them.
Medium could get maybe gravity fists, that you punch with, and the alt fire does like, a little vortex block thing, that absorbs bullets and uses them to make the fists do more damage for a limited time or maybe charges up an energy projectile to shoot. (To keep in line with medium melee weapons being hybrid of defense and offense)
Heavy gets a chainsaw that can be slashed with for direct damage, or held steady to cut through terrain quickly or deal sustained damage similar to the flamethrower

Just spitballing :P

[brave copper]

Honor/thumbs up system with rewards. Match History. Remove Anon mode, streamer mode is good enough for streamers. Anon is just for cheaters.

Defib is still extremely meta for medium. The last change you did was the first time you actually addressed the defib rather than punishing the recipient, so good on you for that. If you want Medium to have the same creative freedom as other classes you need to do more like that, though. I acknowledge that the addition of heals has moved it down in the overall meta, but not by much imo. (heals were an awesome add for the other classes imo)

Loadout slots should be >= the total sum of specs available in the game.

[cinder aurora]

When is heavy going to get an anti-tank sniper rifle? It should destroy walls too bc if it didn't it'd probably be useless even if it did alot of damage

Why does heavy even have barricades? When goo is significantly better, and is available to all classes?

• Either buff barricades or nerf goo.

Imo barricades are in a good spot, but goo needs to go. 2 charges for a free escape should be illegal.
Shoot a light to 1hp, and he pops up 2 goos in a hallway, poof he’s gone. Even as a light it’s pretty much impossible to follow up for the kill..
Not to mention how strong it is to steal a cashout. U have more range on where to place goo, AND it gives more cover (AND is not demarerializable or reshapable)
simply too op, nerf this crap

This made me question why I even bother to play barricades. Ig I’ll just abuse goo nades till u fix this.

[sharp herald]

Can we have a separate slider for ADS sensitivity for irons/reflex sights please 🙂

Good god dagger is so bad. Its impossible to fight decent to good players since the counter is literally just SPIN AROUND RANDOMLY UNTIL YOUR TEAMATE GETS TO YOU. That's not to mention that its flat out impossible to kill a light player unless they are blind AND deaf.

I guarentee dagger stats are not good because as a dagger main for most of my playtime I cant even go positive against a good 5 stack in powershift. I would literally be better off running any other light weapon.

Pls no angle lock on sword its all I want for Christmas embark

[scarlet galleon]

Match History would be cool
And nerf winchclaw. Its like old stungun, just witch a grab. Like distance nerf and/or cooldown. Most use it to secure the kill. Iam getting grabbed through walls and doors from 50m away. Or at least it cannot catch u from 0-5m, just above. I dont like to get hugged and grabbed.

[waxen thicket]

people who ask for weapon nerfs are stupid washouts who couldn't handle Apex Legends or BO6's movement kids. Also special mention for the sword mains who want the angle lock removed, whose desperation to never learning aiming is always amusing.

Anyways here's my weapon buff suggestions:

• add manual detonation trigger for MGL32 aka make the rounds airburst, remove the explode on enemy hit if needed. That way it will become more reliable but with a learning curve to truly master it.

• add forward momentum to Dual Swords' 3rd attack chain aka the double slash, rn it's so underwhelming even a quick melee is better suited. But you also can't increase the damage on it, else it will become too op. So instead, just let the dual slash become a gap closer to catch enemies running away.

• Remove the 1st spin on Spear's spinning attack. Keeping the 2nd and 3rd spin only would make the recovery so much faster, letting players return to normal attacks faster while still keeping that delay to punish a whiff, but not to the point it's so useless that the only place people use it is near the Cashout Station or the Powershift Platform

• Make the ignite damage on Cerberus quicker. Right now it if you use it at it's maximum firerate, you lose on a lot of dps to the point you can't even finish off a heavy in point blank with all 3 shots unless you make a sizeable delay between the shots, and at that range this can be very risky. Making the fire damage faster would reduce the delay, making the shotgun more reliable at close range.

• increase KS23's mag size from 6 to 7 just like 1887, because the same 1887 buff had made the gun now slightly more usable in most fights. The extra round on KS23 would also make it more useful for breaking walls during a fight to improve it's overall usefulness.

[sterile canopy]

This would be a substantial spear nerf… the second and third attack are way worse than the first and second! The third has a huge delay before it, this would kill its currently valuable ability to super rapidly deal 200. If you wanted to buff it you’d remove the third and have the first two loop.

[topaz jungle]

Buff all gadgets! Lower all cooldowns! Remove movement nerfs!

[cursive plank]

Give us the option to change our quick melee animation. It would make our contestants even more unique. Like instead of elbowing a player, you instead throw a punch. Stuff like that.

[dark niche]

the contestant move speeds are a lot closer than you think & flame has a pretty long range.. its kind of hard to simply outrun a heavy as a medium w/o using gadgets

[smoky gust]

That would make organized teams even more powerful than they already are
You would basically need to babysit a teammate, and hope someone else on your team does too to even be able to compete
Not to mention some people dont want to/wont let themselves be revived
So it might make matches unwinable

It makes one-of picks from stuff like dagger and other melee's way less valuable since they cant make sure people stay dead, potentially making them completely useless

Defib would become busted

And it would create a problematic dynamic where, if you want to win, you should stay idle as long as possible after death, for the chance to be revived, which would be letting yourself get boring in favor of match optimization

It has too many downsides

Defib or just revives as a whole should just be disabled for TDM in my opinion

What if we use the VR as a way to progress the weapon faster to get new skin like pay it to the weapon to progress without playing or when it reach the full cap we will get a percentage bonus increase in the progress we get of the weapon we use.
this way if we reach the weapon limit we can pay other weapon to progress without playing.

[daring remnant]

The shell casings of the R.357 say "44 magnum." Certainly the riptide lash skin could be 44 magnum, it has different looking rounds, but the default should be 357 magnum, since its a 357 magnum. unless its just called 357 for branding purposes and is supposed to be a 44

[mental delta]

If you guys really want to make meaningful changes to the meta, let us bring more equipment. Having 4 gadgets on hand might be a radical idea, so I won't expect that, but as it is 4 reserve slots is, at best, an outdated design choice. If you want people to use more of the equipment you make... let them. Don't try to lower the efficiency of other things - by the nature of how some are designed, this realistically just cannot happen. Either expand the reserves by at least double or just scrap the mechanic entirely and let us access all weapons/gadgets when off the field. Don't want people complaining about CL-40, melee, winch, dash, invis? 90% of the things people complain about have effective counters but most kits are too generalized to fit them in because they only have room for the most common denominator.

[gentle cliff]

Show the dagger some love, M2 radius should be upped even if its to 160 degrees. Everyone has there preferences and the dagger offers a unique and fun playstyle - just not viable. Make melee great again

[slate lagoon]

When players discuss whether the weapon is too powerful, there are usually two mainstream judgement criteria; first, whether the strength of the weapon is stronger than other weapons; second, the functionality of the weapon: whether its mechanism and usage scenario can allow players to have more output space; whether the weapon mechanism simplifies the player's operation etc.

The riot shield is the only weapon with strong positive suppression (oblique walking full resistance) and low aiming demand (also 88 damage). Remember medium has 250hp, this is a huge difference between sword or dragger. The funniest thing is that the riot shield can interrupt the cash out as long as it blocks the sight of other players. I don't understand why you guys have designed such a weapon and have been ignoring it. The shield of the medium is not at all like a double knife to block the bullet with any punishment. A weapon that is invincible without speed reduction is definitely a op and boring weapon for this game.

[sonic spoke]

This is a good idea

[lunar reef]

Winch+SA1216 is in a lame spot imo and takes the fun out of the game.. tbh i wouldn’t know how to tackle this without killing one or the other though.. think winch is more the problem though. Pulling a single person into your whole team is kinda absurd for a team game like this. 10 meters rarely feels like 10 meters whether you’re the user or the victim you get some winches that make you question the game. And honestly I’m embarassed at myself for using SA12 it just like I was embarassed to use the xp-54 and model in their primes... I feel like it’s a crutch rn and I’m not getting satisfaction out of it cause it’s straight up a free kill when both are used together.. Road hog style lol.

Haven’t seen this tool (winch) help the meta in any game it’s touched though..In Overwatch it’s universally agreed the games in a bad spot when hog is S tier.

Not that you’ll even want to do this.. but maybe this balancing could be done by bringing more specializations so winch isn’t in a state by itself where nothing punishes people for missing a winch.. nothing I hate more in games than things being too OP cause I want to use them but genuinely feel bad in my heart when I abuse these things against other people. But at the same time will things ever get fixed if we don’t show them that it’s so often a free kill? Idk. We’ll see I guess.

[proven crown]

And still, my dome just DOESN'T DEPLOY. Response time with higher ping is game breaking

Me when I’ve never played a second of dagger and have no idea what I’m talking about.

Does DB “relay on the team” I mean a tiny bit but it’s not REQUIRED to have fun. Dagger literally is DB but more difficult to use. There is no argument against it. Weapon is dookie.

[obsidian ginkgo]

Can we start banning boosters, you can check ip addresses and gameplay changes. Same with the smurf accounts.

[delicate notch]

I’d love that. Also being able to edit each character’s player card

[lusty cloud]

I think its mostly winch tbh. Sa12 is really strong but being able to instantly reposition an enemy to right infront of a heavy is kinda absurd. Winch's viability also lead to sledge being hit pretty hard even though for the longest time sledge only got minor buffs.

Its sad too because the utility of winch outside of cheesing kills is actually pretty fun like yoinking trophies, moving cashout, and interrupting steals. Its also funny because i thought the whole point of nerfing charge and slams damage was because it felt like it was too easy to get kills with.

[silver laurel]

smoke + thermal is just dumb

[rancid ridge]

I have some suggestions that can potentially make the game a bit better:

1. Make match history (and if possible replay system, but just match history is more then fine)
2. Rework player's profile (make it so you can see someone's ranks and stats at one tab, i personally think that will be better)
3. Make it so you can change your loadout wherever you are in practice range, not just specific places.
4. If possible, make dummies in practice range that can use different specializations and the option to change them (utils too, like healing orb or dome so you can experiment with them)
5. Make changing scopes in game possible
6. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL fix the servers im tired of dying behind walls

New weapon ideas:

• light: AS Val.
• medium: kar98k or lee Enfield/hk ump 45.
• heavy: thompson center-encore 600 nitro express revolver.

Gadgets

• gas mask that has the same duration as the thermal vision.
• Wing suit.

Specialisation:

• an extra gadget slot instead of a specialisation.
• buff charge & slam so it can push the cashout.

[twilit sand]

Nerfing the 20 round fcar in season 2 was the biggest mistake the balance team has ever made. Ever since it's been a downwards spiral of nerfs and has been the root cause of wonky class dynamics. The 20 round fcar should have been the gold standard and baseline for every weapon to be balanced around. Nobody would have ever complained about model, pike, xp, SA12, lh1 etc if fcar was never nerfed back then. You need to pick one gun in the game and never change it because if you don't have a control, how do you have any point of reference to balance things around?

[lean bluff]

aither nerf dash or sword to the ground

[lapis elbow]

Embark please do not go down the route of making CC the deciding factor of game balance.
Winch Claw is only a staplepoint because it's:
1 - crowd control, essentially a free kill as the player is stunlocked
2 - provides utility for the team when needing to move a cash box
If Lights, the skirmishers of the game, cannot have their "free kill" from a tazer (the enemy could still shoot back) then Heavies don't deserve it either, especially if they're being dragged into a whole team and can't even shoot back
Lockbolt seriously needs a health nerf to the latch projectile, no reason it should take half a mag of anything to destroy it and then that player have to worry about a full HP heavy coming at them.
How did all of the "free kills" get nerfed into the ground in earlier seasons and as the player count is beginning to recover, add in more and more cheesy ways to get kills?

[thorny lynx]

Well that teeny teaser is fun, love the Viking/Medieval theme?! I guess since there is no new map, no new weapons, no gadgets, no specs.... but FINALLY optimization!!!! Woot .... is this a W or not? Might as well have another 30$ BP with skins right!

[dire scaffold]

this

[cobalt kernel]

1000 percent agree

I expect nothing less than a BIG meta shake up with Season 8 next week, just in time before the big Major tournament

Nerf winch cringe back to 10 meter range, lower stun effect, REMOVE second hit on the way back, make the chain break if you get stuck on a ledge so Heavies can't just spam it in any situation

ALL lights are forced to play Dash to counter this clown ability, every class has exactly ONE viable loadout, zero build variety!!

1 button press is dictating the whole meta right now, it's all you gonna see at the majors and it's gonna be boring AF

Nerf Pike to 49 damage and lower fire rate, hard-counters sniper and LH1

Nerf Demat recharge time

Nerf Evasive trash

Reduced max amount of Pyro mines carriable to ONE (just like expl. and glitch mine)

Buff Model Reload

Buff Revolver range by a good 10 meters, damage fall off is a joke

Bring back OG LH1, buff hip fire

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly

Buff Breach charge/Vortex fuse time, takes forever to activate

Give iron sights to sniper extend hitscan range by 10 meters

Add more map modifiers and let them have a bigger impact, for example "fog" should actually limit viewing distance drastically, so gadgets like thermal and sonar grenades actually serve a purpose besides smoke+steal shenanigans

For the love of the finals dont screw up this balance change next season. Pike is hit or miss every single game. Medium just doesn’t have a strong suit except for dematerializer creating space. Put more respect on medium this upcoming season.

[stone aurora]

I miss Bank It, damn man just hope season 8 brings some different playlist changes since there's more players right now and I would like a new game mode / specifically bank it from private mode + a brand new game mode or something idk I trust embark tho they've always seemed to always take me by surprise so I just hope someone from Embark hears us all saying we want bank it back at the very least...

I agree, now the game is really stupid and unbalanced, it's just Melee

[dull trench]

please, someone explain to me there is no sbmm in WT on EU servers and how it totally dosn't always give me the most smoothbrain teammates so i loose a few matches to than give me a decent match that is possible to win? explain embark how you don't force win rate, this is idiotic, ever since the newest season you fucked up the games matchmaking to the point that the only thing i get in solo WT are just fully frontal lobe undeveloped idiots. How is this even close to a esport matchmaking, don't make me laugh.

**Another thing is that i hope gets spread around ** is where you literary give **timed bans to rage cheaters ** for a month or so and than they come back to the game and cheat again. How is this going to help with the cheater epidemic in this game, every day there is more and day by day i'm more convinced you are using a free trial version of a anticheat. There are even content creators well known for cheating on NA servers yet you turn a blind eye to it for years.

this game is going down a slope with over monetization (i bet my left nut you will introduce even more exclusive real money only cosmetics battlepass versions down the line) and cheater epidemic where even streamers cheat.

Some pre-S8 feedback, please undo the demat nerf. I saw in the Playstyle video of the blog that demat has a delayed wall-opening speed and additional visual clutter. Please don't go through with this.. Medium has no other viable specs

[tacit lion]

yo ik this message a few days old but recently i downloaded the game through the xbox app and i got more frames than the steam version so try that if u havent

[wooden sand]

i feel like goo should have like a hardening period, so that goo gunner cant perma cc someone if they are shooting. Or make goo stunning like a real mechanic, like you shoot 3 goo blobs to get the stun but they can still shoot you while its happening. As a goo gunner it feels to safe to play non lethal and get away with it

[tribal shard]

The game seriously needs a respawn system rework:

• 30 seconds is way too long of a timer, even more so as it gets prolongated on each team member death.
• The spawn points are way too far to be remotely useful, there's almost always a 20 seconds walk minimum, leading the game to feel like a boring walking simulator and making effective respawn times at around a minute.
• Since the big nerf they've received a few seasons ago, defibs have been pretty much useless. Now you take 10 seconds to respawn yet can instantly get one-shotted and there's an additional 15 seconds on top of that before you're effectively useful as a player because everything is disabled. On top of that players still respawn with half of their effective health, as they always did. So a normal respawn is often more interesting.

The current system is such a joke that i tell my friends to not bother and consider there's effectively no respawn system at all. I even started to refer to the game as a walking sim, alongside death stranding. I've been here since the first season so i know there was a point where it wasn't nearly as bad.

Almost every number you listed here is tripled for no reason. That’s a whole lotta hyperbole.
If only... But no they're not. Only the defibs values might be slightly off as i wrote them from memory. Everything else can be verified in-game directly. But even then defibs values would be off by ~10 seconds total (so both the respawn time and time before you become useful) at most.

[mental sky]

[shadow elk]

Almost every number you listed here is tripled for no reason. That’s a whole lotta hyperbole.

[pale aspen]

Buff the LH1 to its old dmg values. I can't challenge any heavy with it and I borderline almost lose to any good Medium player even when I don't miss shots.

[covert yacht]

THIS GAME NEEDS A PROPER MM IN RANKED IM SICK OF THIS UNFAIR BULLSHIT

[supple mortar]

Please revert sword's angle lock and super dash change. Genuinely removes any kind of ability to track players. If they even slightly move to the side, you lose the fight. Simple as that.
Nerf the cleave instead.

[raw blaze]

Honestly I think I just want more accessibility things. Most notably I want Crosshairs while Aiming, Per weapon/Per Optic zoom sensitivity, And a better indicator of your cashout when it's off screen... Say in the middle on the top of the 2 cashouts going on like how domination or Flags are handled in battlefield or cod on the UI! (I would love to see custom hud colors too like Counter Strike 2)

[peak sand]

who on gods green earth decided that dual blades should have server side deflect placement

[analog glacier]

Finally, someone who understands the situation with this game that has become rubbish.

Embark has disappointed me greatly in their management of the game over the past year. The game had great potential, but they've turned it into a circus where you only use melee weapons and then use grenade launchers to compensate.

So, just SPAM.

Not to mention the technical level, which has also deteriorated significantly, with persistent lag and delays.

Add to that useless matchmaking and cheaters, and we have the total disaster that is THE FINALS.

Dear EMBARK, I thought you were a good software house, but I absolutely have to change my mind. I understand that your core business is now ARC RIDERS, but that's not how you behave.

For this reason, I'm personally giving you terrible publicity to friends and fellow players regarding ARC RIDERS. I repeat, if this is THE FINALS today (a real circus), imagine how you'll launch, or rather manage, ARC RIDERS over time, a game I definitely wanted to buy/play a couple of months ago. But now I'm so sorry, but I wish you a total failure because you deserve nothing else.

As for me, I'll definitely be playing BF6, permanently erasing THE FINALS and EMBARK from my PC and my mind, respectively.

[hallow turret]

all the hitscan weapons are stronger, you dont see any launchers at high level, the only melee you see is sword but even sword lights switch to something else on final rounds

[gritty jetty]

stop doing seasons with only 2 sponsors

[worldly forge]

are we stupid or is riot shield stupid overpowered?

[shrewd echo]

Can we get a Finals map with an Arc Raider boss destroying the map as we try and cashout? Or like you know when we get the thing where we get light gravity... one of those but with an Arc Raider boss falling from the sky for however long the light gravity thing lasts with the teams having to stop killing each other and kill it or keep killing each other. Very impressed with my descriptive words, thank you devs.

[digital yoke]

Where are the cool skins for KS-23?

It's been a year since ks-23 exists in the game, but I still don't see something really cool that I would want to buy myself. In one of the last patches you added a drawn ks-23. Original as they say, but why does it cost 800 coins? Acid skin pink color almost for the price of a full-fledged Battlepass. As well as the same monotypical attention LEGENDARY and EPIC skins that do not cause the desire to spend money on them. I'm silent about the lower end skins. Yes, I agree, there are vibe impala 60s and Nerf-gun skins to give money for, but they came out a few seasons ago. Especially not everyone wants any of them.
If you look at the variety of cool skins for other weapons, you realize how deprived the ks-23 is.
Why not add ks-23 to the most popular bundles?
For example, make a tactical skin, a battle-hardened skin, a skin with flames, a skin duplicating the real civilian version of the ks-23, which looks like a shotgun of doom slayer and so on and so forth.
Easy money
ANYTHING BUT ONE-TONED ACID, LIGHTING AND FLASHING PIECES OF PIXELS.

Please give us cool skins for ks-23

[wheat osprey]

I agree

[simple ether]

Not stupid, but broken. There is a bug with the hit box reg where it looks like you are shooting the dude in the face but it registers as if it was blocked.
Of course, this game is all kinds of busted to begin with. The netcode validates hit reg on the client side. Which basically means that damage can take a sec to register. So you could duck behind cover and still be hit because of the other player's ping/delay taking a while to register the shot. This game is a hot mess. Dont expect it to be fixed either since tye foundation of the game is completely broken.

[oblique jay]

Feedback

[lethal bear]

delete fucking sh1900

[quick coyote]

Fix the spawns I should not be appearing 190 meters away from my 2 teammates on OUR cashout.
Or enemies spawning right next to me or just on the objective when we are on our way to deposit the cashbox.

[hardy stump]

Please for Season 8 of The Finals reduce the damage over distance for the 93R, V9S, XP-54, ARN, LH1, and the SHAK. Lights are a flanking class that shouldn’t need to commit to eliminating players from across the map. A 9mm should not have enough power to travel 30m with no resistance. Also the V9S and the M11 just need an overall damage drop (V9S from 40 to 25) fire rate drop, and reload speed increase.

[gilded dagger]

Admit the mistake and remove the class system. Making characters with different HP and movement speed is a balancing nightmare. You can still lock weapons to classes but those classes should be same size.

Fact is noobs struggle against lights because of the movement speed and the high powered smgs. Pros stomp on lights because of the low HP. This is a fundamental contradiction that Embark needs to wrestle with.

I believe the game would have been in a better position if it didn't have classes in this form. It would've been easier to pick up for newcomers and less frustrating. It would also be easier for embark to tune weapons since they don't have to consider the HP of the wielders

Last night it spawned two of us on the cashbox and we stole it immediately

[paper cove]

Honestly this game is very very good the only thing I oído say to do is when u wan to change a weapon mid match and ur teammate is gonna revive u there should be a option to not be revived

[pale quest]

will dagger ever be fixed? its supposed to do high damage if you sneak up from behind and backstab

instead you can just dash face first into enemy and still somehow get backstab because you turned slightly while dashing

[undone pier]

Yep light is still the single most annoying thing I have ever seen in a game

[north eagle]

to the guys above me, you cannot ever land a backstab if the enemy is looking at you. dagger players dash to the side. if you can predict the dash, their game is over. or you can just run glitch mine and cl40 and they lose. sometimes due to server issues, it can appear as if they stabbed you from the front, but the stab was confirmed to land before it registered and you died (or something like that. there's a video on it)

make cloak / vanish bomb less visible and much quieter, but make it so fire and gas will stop it's invis. the light can actually be stealthy without getting louder, but they can't just run into a hectic battleground and be totally safe, because anything will cancel it.

[lyric whale]

Currently balance feels to be in a good spot overall. All classes in general are useable despite specs on light and medium needing some attention just bc in comp you basically only ever see demat on M and dash on L. With H+ being added healing beam needs some attention just bc its useless now that a light can heal you more effectively and demat is so good to use. Almost everything has counter play with one main exception in my eyes and thats thermal plus smoke. Basically all you can do if someone uses the combo with half a brain is throw a glitch at the door or spray at the entry. Dying to it is just unfun as in a lot of situations there nothing you can do about it. Despite this i dont want to see the combo directly nerfed. I think the best way to address is would be adding a new throwable. Something like a wind vortex that would pull throwables in and fling them around the room, no affect on cashout just to keep it separate from gravity vortex. It could pull smoke up and away as a way to clear it out in the same way fire removes gas and smoke removes fire. Adding a throwable as a counter would mean that the actual combo is still useable and counter play requires thought. Just an idea to add some counter play without completely gutting the combo into the ground.

[wide void]

If you don't fix EVERY instance of weapons shooting, reloading, or otherwise acting differently by using the emote wheel or by swapping items, you're never going to be a serious esport.

ShAK-50 and SH1900 reload faster when holstering and redeploying them.
You can melee between every shot of Model and Matter without reducing your RPM if you holster and redeploy them.
Spear's spin attack can be prematurely cancelled by opening the emote wheel.

When you gave Sword a sloppy 25% damage nerf and then later radically reworked it, you cited one of the reasons for doing so being the less than 5 people who could and would consistently abuse phantom strike glitches. Why can't you fix these?

[full scarab]

Recentering / auto calibration of the Gyroscope needs to be turned off. Dualsense SDK now allows developers to do this. Also bring gyro aim to Arc Raiders on launch.

[warm bluff]

Dagger, sword, and riotshield are so overpowered, they should be removed from the game!!!!!!!!
Oh, and light should be removed too, those mosquitos are literally unhittable, while we're at it, also remove dematerielizer because it gives enemies free op flanks
Actually, just remove the game and let us move around on a 500x500m plane, then the game would finally be good

[lucid field]

Please fix your Resurrection Point
Always two teams.Why always resborn two teams nearby the same cashout? It's even possible that just as one team is revived, another team is revived immediately at the previous location, it's always a chaotic battle among three teams.
No one would like such a game.
I am very tired of this kind of game. I have witnessed two teams resurrecting consecutively in the same place, or two different places but very close to me

riot shield is too strong.A weapon that can run while blocking bullets is really stupid and strong，damage like Cerberus shotgun 90≈99 and no need aim ，so what is the significance of Cerber's existence？

To the devs, please nerf smoke thermal or give the mediums recon ability back. Its ridiculous how bad people abuse this combo and something needs to be done

[rapid stream]

Don't worry everybody... We'll get our annual release patch dagger nerf in 5 days to get it out of the meta...!!!!

[elder spear]

Please give lights an anti tank gun, an artillery gun, ,a AC 130 gunship, give them the ability to fly. Just give to them everything oh wait you already have. I have badges in all three classes L M H, but I can call bullshit when I see it and quite literally just about everything in the lights arsenal is stupid op with the DPS. If the light players gonna bitch about their health just make heavy and medium the same health since it doesn't fucking matter anyways . The tank of the classes aka heavy can get deleted by a fucking backstab dagger or a sh shotgun. Want something that never has to reload and deletes people instantly enter throwing knives. Want smgs that can outclass mediums in their own medium range? Enter xp54 and Arn and also the medium class known as support that would heal screw it you just gave lights the fastest healer in game and said fuck you to medium. Want an SMG that has no recoil and has the second highest dps in game? Enter m11 . no other class except a hammer can delete people with 1 shot yet as soon as other classes get something good to counter lights you nerf them immediately because your golden goose light class bitches about cl40 , Cerberus, model and embark cannot let their light class down because theyr afraid their game will go down the drain if it disappoints them since they are the most popular class by far as every tdm is full of fcking lights it's a light fest out there.

just had a moment to try this and it worked so wanted to say thanks 🙂

[keen wren]

I feel like there needs to be a mechanic where when you are capturing a cashout, it shouldnt complete until it is no longer contested. You can win a fight against two teams and still lose because you literally cant capture the cashout before it expires

[sour oak]

EMBARK. Can we please remove the grind for the basic colors you receive when leveling up your weapon. No new player is gonna wanna grind for the color white. Let alone be motivated too, I recommend you remove the basic blue, red, yellow, and white and replace the lvl 7 or 10 to a lvl 1. Considering it’s just not as cool as the lvl 6 or 9. PLEASE EMBARK it’ll do you some good In the long run 👍🏼

Playing the dagger again against some of the best players in the game today and OH YA ITS ABSOLUTELY HOT TRASH STILL. Please for the love of my sanity buff this thing to make it useable.

Ideas that would make it a lot more USEABLE (more user friendly pretty much) but not STRONGER... Here ya go.

Make the right click instant but have a mandatory cool down AFTERWARDS. Kinda like the sword but you absolutely CANNOT add a movment penalty that is significant past what is there right now to the end of the stab. That would completely ruin the weapon I think.. actually idk maybe it would work actually.

Lets be honest. you guys removed all of the other alternate advantages of dagger. Backstabbing turrets, backstabbing goo (for all the goo daggers out there). This weapon desperately needs a buff. Not even a buff. Just make it more user frienly. No new player picks up the dagger and goes... ooh I can get a couple kills with this its so fun. NO. This weapon you need 100 hours on before you can even start going positive with. (Unless you play uber cringe and just rat in a corner and always kill people who dont see you [and even with that cringe ahh playstyle my proposed buff wouldn't change anything])

Second change is please please make the dagger register client side. It might already be client side, but DAMN it feels VERY different in game vs in the range. I assume its due to server lag. even a TINY bit can be felt

Please embark. DB is literally just a lower skill dagger in every way. Please give some love to this fun weapon and make it useable again. 🙏 😔

[past viper]

Finals - you guys got to do something about ranked matches finishing with less than 3 people and remaining players getting penalized. I am a solo player, and this season on ranked I literally must have lost over 12,000 ranked points, maybe more, from players quitting mid round. I just played a match where one player came and exited about 15 times, and then his buddy would fake revive me. This is not fun, and this a major deterrent from continuing to play. We should not be penalized if someone decides to be a jerk and quit mid round during ranked.

Automate checking steam profiles of players when they link accounts...
then auto-flag players who have gotten game bans within the last year or two,
manually review these players

There's an insane amount of obvious alt accounts cheating on eu servers, specifically in eastern europe. Maybe consider doing the same thing you did to chinese players and make a region locked russia-only version of the finals that prevents them from joining EU servers to chea- I mean that appeals to the unique tastes of the average russian consumer.

Stop giving cheaters second, third, fourth, fifth, even eighth chances... How can someone who has been permanently banned by the anticheat over eight times in this game, and even more times in other games, constantly get manually unbanned and even go as far as to compete in your upcoming cash tournament?

[pliant glade]

i full heartedly mean it i don't think i've ever enjoyed Kyoto ONCE. it is so bad it needs to be removed. please. rework it like vegas but until then just remove it from the map pool. i fuckin DREAD seeing it, it actually takes any bit of fun away from the match and unless its WT or Ranked. I leave.

[mental delta]

Please give us an option to take the borders off of stickers. So many stickers have a white border that just isn’t necessary. “Well, the devs would have to go back to old stickers and-“ and what? Magic wand the white parts off? The horror!

Not only do they not look good, there just isn’t really a point (as far as I can tell). Real-life stickers for the most part don’t have these borders on them, and if it’s for the sake of visual clarity… whose clarity? The player? They’re the only one who’s going to see it and it doesn’t affect gameplay. Maybe I’m just missing something but it just seems unnecessary on a lot of them.

[harsh cliff]

I have been having the same experience, I swear ranked this season is soooooooooooooooo bad.
Man imagine they match me with bronze players, I am at 31k. I get matched with one 9k player and the other has no rank. Of course I lose big time. I reached 37k many times but of course with this stupid ranked system, it's impossible to soloq and reach diamond. Maybe it possible for some god good players but you should not be a god to reach diamond. Ruby yes I would understand but diamond you should be a decent good player and you should not be punished by this stupid matchmaking+ smurfs+cheaters......., I really can't

[thorny lynx]

LEAKS

Light - Class can now fly. Limited flight with the ability to cloak, dash and one tap any other class with their new "lightening in a bottle" Specialization. Also can no longer take damage from opponents.

Med - Since our 8 seasons of this game we have watched Medium go from a strong class with an identity, to a barely useable class with 2 "meh ok" weapons. We are going to keep degrading the Medium class so you can play Light and fly, see above.

Heavy - Heavy being the "strong" class will have all shields removed. We have found shields stop the flying Lights from killing Heavys and that ain't cool, so no more shileds. We also think lowering Heavys HP to BELOW a Light is the right move. We saw this one guy say it on reddit so we doing it!!!! We are also taking away all guns because you should be able to punch your way up to the flying Lights. See above

Cant wait!
