We should be able to spend a coin to swap one gadget in ranked, only during team wiped, only one item or weapon. Anyways usually we reach the finals with 3 or 4 coins, too many. (This could be disable in the finals round).

Defib needs a reload animation after the first use just like Nullifier, Thermal Bore and RPG.

EMBARKO
My lovely devs and higher ups
I know you wont see this probably BUT

I would love to see the steam player count hit 50k

Im praying that the time will come.

WE JUST NEED MORE to bring to new people.

BOTS, PVE, TIME TRIALS ( Parkour ), Fun challenges

As of now the finals is my favorite competetive game of all time. It is just the best and i doubt anything will come close. Buying every ultimate battlepass got each and every battlepass BUT im competetive player that strives for diamond every season. I have a hard time sometimes... and I cant even imagine how casuals feel going into comp scene in here.

WOULD LOVE to see the changes up above

( Oh and also the DB nerf was a silent buff since now if you hit, you hit more pellets and kill easier - it needs DMG reduction to 145 )

You guys need to put the original version of Las Vegas back into map rotation again. I strongly dislike the updated version of Vegas. The colors you guys used to coat the interiors are absolutely terrible for aiming at targets. Why run a "Team Color" system and have the team colors co align with the maps? Who's fucking idea was that? It makes it all visual mush that bleeds together for no reason.

Embark keep making new specialization!
Each season has a new specialization that is good!!
Don't care about the balance too much.
I have played this game for 2 years above and keep giving feedback about balance, but no one would feel this game is "balanced".
Just keep making new specializations and make this game more fun!
Don't care about balance, focus fun and new special experiences.
We need more specialization!

Season 10 is good, keep doing!

New specialization idea for Light class: The Technician.

A 5 second duration buff that will reduce cooldowns on all equipment twice as fast during the duration + speeds up current items on cooldown by 2 seconds flat. (So 10 sec cooldown remaining becomes 8 seconds, which is then reduced by half so the cooldown is ready in 4 seconds, results in -6 sec off the cooldown.)
The ability will also speed up reviving by 25%, so revives during the buff take 3 seconds instead of 4. The drawback will be sharp however, reducing max+current HP by 50 points whenever used. (Cannot reduce below 1 HP) This 50 HP lost will start restoring after 3 seconds and take 3 seconds to recover, leaving you nearly full HP by the end of the cooldown, but plays the recovery sound nearby for enemies.

The goal of the design is to give lights a different playstyle where they are less mobile but still constantly active using grenades, nullifier, all equipment more often, but sacrificing the mobility specializations in favor of an active-participation utility playstyle that hinges more off of teamwork and planning than pure reactions. It honestly might call for a reduction in duration on grenade effects like fire, gas, smoke for balance, but I definitely think something like this could work in The Finals.

I no longer play the game the way I original liked to play.

Balance changes compressed medium into a specific niche.

Pike has no place anymore, the Chimera has the attributes I wanted for Pike after repeater got introduced. The damage nerf and increased recoil make it feel horrible to use at its highest RoF.

FAMAS has gone from a versatile midrange weapon to a meh close range weapon and an outclassed midrange weapon. The recoil adjustments make it feel horrible to use at its full RoF.

P90 was a great fun addition for close range hit and run blitz plays. Chimera nearly outclasses it.

I went from happily playing heal/demat with FAMAS/p90 to playing light for heals, and fcar / chimera on medium.

I love having new content for medium to shake it up. But making the existing playstyles feel less viable doesn't mean things were shook up. Instead it means players were coerced into a new playstyle.

ADD FORGE MODE + VEHICLE RELATIVE MODE
each map would have its own vehicle (ie: F1 on Monaco, Motorbikes in Vegas, Horses or Hoverbikes in Kyoto) and the mode would just focus on doing laps around the map as it is destroyed by map events like UFOs etc

Forge mode would offer all the Finals assets into a Map creator toolset, where in the Private Gmaes lobby you can put in codes to load up Player made modes/maps or join Lobbies hosted by other players on which ever modes/maps they choose.

This type of thing would accelerate new experiences in Finals and endless creativity.

(REPLAY EDITOR/MOVIE MAKER MODES WOULD GO SO HARD ALSO, though I've heard early on in the game's life that this was very hard to do with Damage calculation etc, we've seen killcams so it COULD be done...)

[I have a whole document on a PVE roguelike mode for Finals that's kind of like Overatch PVE meets Deadlock meets Finals, I hope to either condense it to post here and/or make a video about it one day]

Great work on season 10! I don’t know how you did it but the game feels brand new but still familiar. Great job on the overall synergy. Having lots of great fight in new areas of the maps because the game just flows that much better.

I have an idea for a “world tour” progression. Drop in into a game of h2h, winners of h2h have the option to progress with the same teammates to a round of qc. These qc matches are all advanced winning parties. The winners of qc can then progress to a WT round. Where 4 advanced winning parties compete for a wt victory. Of coarse you can continue to play the game mode if you like at will, but if you would like to take on the 45m world tour runtime at least it’s baked in to more casual play, should you choose to opt into such an experience.

HOW MELEE NEEDS TO BE BUFFED
Fundamentally, this can't be a matter of stats. At least, not for Sledgehammer and Sword. These two are solid in their advantage state for competent players, their issue is getting into an advantage state in the first place. What we need are:

  1. Targeted mechanical changes to each
  2. A general mechanical addition that adds tech

The second is easier to cover, so for now I will.
GIVE THEM A QUICK KICK THAT REPLACES QM.

This is the most elegant solution I have decided on after significant consideration. Allow me to explain what I envision it doing, and why;

  • Kick off of walls hard enough to allow even heavies to perform movement tech. This would directly boost the options they have in getting to enemy positions, and getting out of bad positions. Ideally, melee players will be able to slide across walls such as in Deadlock and quick melee would automatically push away from the wall.
  • Push enemies away and off ledges. Currently, melee players just can't deal with platforms on some maps as you're most often automatically out of position by being on one. Obviously this should scale linearly from light, to medium, to heavy. Additionally, this would give all melee players more options against Sword players, due to how they can easily outspace them in 1v1s by lunging through them repeatedly. This is coming from a Sword player.
  • Larger hitbox, dependent to class. For light it will be only be slightly higher since the balance of lunge+QM oneshot combos against lights is important.
  • It should interrupt certain abilities and actions, such as winching, grappling, lunging, spear spinning, holding objects, reviving, taking cashout, etcetra. NOT reloading, to be clear. The first is to give Dagger and Sword players a chance against a sledgehammer/winch player, as a competent sledgehammer user against an equally skilled sword player will usually get the one shot in 80% of cases, due to how generous the sweeping angle is, similarly to lunges.

Actually light need to be reworked the mayor light base uses Dash, is hard do a new specialization when of three specs people use one.

And @copper mulch I agree, melee need a change in their system. Anyway we need to way to the next season as you can see in the road-map embark announce that for season 11 they will rework melee system. I hope that they rework melee to make them truly functional and correct the mayor problem the melee weapon like hammer that hit reg doesn't work in some occasions.

And embark do something with flamethrower is annoying see how fire go through some walls and kill you. I think that flamethrower needs be more like poke weapon o suppression no a laser beam of death in cone

  • Bugs
  1. Chat censoring. Some normal words get censored while insults pass since the chat was introduced to the game.
  2. Hard-stuck bug after finding a game. Workaround is to restart the game, and bug has been around for several seasons.
  3. Cam gets stuck after getting killed. This bug is present since beta.
  • Queuing & Latency suggestions
  1. Show queue population and fix estimates.
  2. Show region to the entire party while queuing.
  3. Fix having to sync region with party leader so that you don't have lag.
  4. Show ping / packet numbers in game. Yellow/Red indicators don't have any value.
  • Accessibility

Footsteps and cashout steal sounds are hard to hear because other sounds often mask them.
Add accessibility options to:

  1. Increase those volumes
  2. Flash a bigger and noticable red light in the top left of the screen when a cashout is being stolen
  • Map Voting

Every mode should have it (Overwatch approach).

  • Ranked should have 1 less round (24 → 12 players)

One Cashout round followed by head-to-head matches → 1v2 & 3v4 → 2v3.

  • Anti-Smurf Detection

If a new account clearly performs above its skill level, it should be moved to higher-skill lobbies instead of facing new players. Repeated smurfing should lead to bans.

  • Duplicate + naming features for loadouts

Similar to outfits.

  • Polls & Roadmap

Players who invest time/money should influence direction (OSRS approach), not only the pro scene. Game needs more focus on casual.
It is great that you finally added a roadmap. Thank you. Keep doing that!

the more I play this season, the more I want to uninstall this game. Games become an absolute visual mess, and you just reinforced the MMH or HHM meta even more. every game is just a team circle jerk that you can't even approach without ability, crossbow bolt, shotgun spam, and then you try to retreat and oops WINCH CLAW. games become a joke. The new map is aids too, actually just a worse version of peace center which is probably the worst map in the game.

@worldly thunder Grapple has received 2 adjustments in 10 seasons: shortened cooldown by 2 seconds, and then shortened cooldown by 1 seconds. I doubt they will ever spend any time doing anything but that on an ability that 2% of light mains use because embark refuses to properly balance dash. It's easy to adjust a cooldown somewhere, fixing the actual functionality of the grapple requires a little bit of actual work.

I'm just saying, embark doesn't care. (im a grapple main btw)

The grapple hook still gets stuck sometime

@daring fossil Its not about buffing it, its about not RNG's the use of it everytime it's being used.

revert the spawn change, this is genuinely 100x worse than before

For some more context:
It keeps spawning people directly on objectives even if you have someone over there, meaning box fight wins are basically meaningless. It also makes it so that coining can spawn you across the map even if your teammate is still alive at point. It's literally just amplifying all the worst parts about spawns that nobody liked. Spawn system didn't need to change, the only times where spawn manip was bad was when the map itself was bad. Please rework the maps instead of the spawns. Spawn blocking was skillful and fair

This is THE WORST SEASON. I would rather play season 9 than this unfun game. You messed with controller aim and catered to the PC side of things. I've never been more hyped up to be so severely let down for a season in my history of playing this game. Whatever you guys have done has absolutely ruined the core gameplay experience and immersion for me. Not even worth trying anymore. Fix the aim and the gunplay.

Embark, why does the Pike even exist anymore? It's completely overshadowed by Crossbow in literally every relevant way possible. Both are semi-auto marksman weapons with good firerate and recoil, but Crossbow simply has better hipfire accuracy and ttk.

Sure the Crossbow has worse range and projectile than Pike which makes it worse at range, but for dedicated long-range pokes Repeater is stil a better option thanks to it's better stk and reload. So for both mid-range and long-range poke, Pike is just worse than Crossbow and Repeater respectively making it completely redundant.
Here's a small chart of their ttk with headshot:

Pike: L= 0.9 (0.6), M= 1.5 (0.9), H= 2.1 (1.2)
Crossbow= L= 0.69 (0.46), M= 1.15 (0.69), H= 1.62 (1.15)

As you can see, the ttk on Crossbow is around 20-25% better than Pike both with and without headshot, which is an absurdly significant difference. Even when compared with Sniper, the range and stk is nowhere near as good to justify using Pike in any scenario, ever. It's almost as laughably weak as BFR, but with worse hipfire accuracy so you can't even spam it point blank.

Now it can be taken care of in either 3 very simple ways, which is worse can be debatable:

  1. Remove the gun from the game, and compensate everyone who got skins for this with equivalent multibucks or just move them to LH1. Give th scopes to Sniper Rifle.

  2. Increase the damage to 50 but reduce firerate by 20%, keeping ttk same but making it much easier to use. @stuck depot While 2x headshot and hipfire does sound cool, atp just use Revolver cos it already has everything you want.

  3. Nerf the damage, then give Pike to Heavy. Heavy doesn't have any Marksman Weapons, and Pike is so weak no other class would have any use for it. Reduce the damage to 30 to bring it more in line with BFR because no one wants Heavy to be good at poke, for good measure.

Let's make Pike actually worth picking again.

latam is basically empty, this season is even emptier than before, Friday and Saturday nights with basically no TDM and very few quick cash (I don't play ranked but I imagine it's in the same situation), there needs to be incentives to new players (real ones, not smurfs) because in the state the game's in, there is no accessibility towards new players. this is becoming like apex legends, only the try hards can play (but with infinite queues)

Thank you Embark, Light is definitely dead now… Why nerf dash? It was literally the only spec capable of competing in ranked. The grappling hook is cool i personally prefer it to dash but Light dies way too fast to make good use of it. If I get grabbed, I can’t escape if I’m using the grappling hook (and the Heavy’s winch is already too strong). Medium is now more viable than Light since it can achieve just as much mobility with its new ability. You hate light i guess lol

I dont like the idea of personal perfomance RS being added next season. Getting a bunch of kills doesn't matter if they're not in service of an objective. Likewise supporting your team with mobility/heals/protection on a teammate stealing don't show up well on a stat page. I just think that a personal performance bonus would discourage teamplay and reward selfishness in solo teams. stealing kills and revives and steals even when it's detrimental to the overall game would be encouraged in this system

I am fairly certain embark doesn't play the finals, or read this chat, for that matter.... the things we encounter, DAILY MIND YOU, and 99% of the time it is either ignored, or even gets the opposite of what the general consensus thinks it should be. The winch claw? Still as strong as ever. BFR one-tapping? They claimed they fixed it, but then the heavy head bashes the keyboard to hit V and you get quick melee'd.... if anyone's counting that's 176 damage... waa waaaaa. 2 heavies comboing that together could kill a heavy, actually, within 2-3 seconds, while the enemy heavy being stunlocked the whole time..... thanks, embark 🙃

So what are they going to so with vrs ? With the new coin they gave us it makes it obsolete. Yeah you can buy scopes with it but for people that have been playing for a long time it just sits there full.

Dear Embark Studios, I would like to ask of something for the newest map (Specifically for the Point Break game mode), while it is (Mostly) fun to play I have noticed a trend with the Defenders pushing forward into the Attackers spawn making so that the Attackers ether die and respawn only to die again or wait for someone to revive them (Which would be extremely hard if not impossible to do if the Defenders have pushed them back to that point).
Some things I believe would hep with this are the following:

1: More cover on the Attackers spawn side (Which could be integrated as more rocks and haybales, this I don't believe to be to much of an issue on other maps as there's enough buildings and such that could be used as cover).

2: A Defender area limit (Just like how once the first three vaults are captured the defenders must leave the area back to the next vaults or be damaged, the only difference here would be that there's an area like that from the start so defenders can only push so far, this while not necessary on other maps due to the buildings acting as cover and concealment as stated above but would still be okay on the other maps as well).

3: Increase the size of the starting playable area (This would probably be the hardest of the three as you'd be adding a whole new section to the map but would help with spacing and give the Attackers more breathing room, this wouldn't be needed on other maps as they make up for their size and lack of a Attacker safe zone by having enough buildings to act as cover and concealment).

But this is something I myself have experienced and may not be universal.

The new medium spec feels amazing and fresh. Please don't wait too long to add another specialization.

I think double jeopardy was a misstep and hurts the game's core 'dynamism' philosophy.

Risking 50% of your money is quite literally never worth it, and it makes what used to be not only a very viable, but very fun strategy an act of literally throwing the game in most instances. The Finals is not CS2, and Embark should not be balancing the game with the intent to make every cashout play similarly to one another. Doubled cashouts are a massively entertaining switchup that raises the stakes for everyone, gives defending teams the option of choosing if they should get third partied by doubling, and gives teams the opportunity to make nail-biting comebacks which the game originally became known for. Doubling is not only an integral but essential part of the cashout experience, and I don't think that we should be making such a fun and adrenaline filled strategy inviable. I do agree that something needed to change to prevent teams from always doubling cashouts though, so my proposition is thus:

I suggest removing the 50% loss for losing a double jeopardy, and replacing it with an increase to the defending team's respawn timer. This would mean that dying as a defender on a doubled cashout is much riskier, and it makes death more impactful for that team-- but it would also keep doubling as a viable option for comebacks, and would afford other teams in the lobby more opportunities to steal, as the defenders would no longer have defender-coin bonuses.

My mate and I reinstalled the game a week ago because we genuinely love it, however, the issue that made us quit the game last time has become even worse: matchmaking. How is it possible to be ranked at 11-12000 rating (silver) and ONLY face emerald players or smurfs. 90% of lobbies are plagued by people who have played thousand of hours more than we have, and even though we try pushing and not letting it demoralize us, losing 9/10 games on the first round is exhausting mentally. It's really too bad the matchmaking is so horrible because otherwise this game is honestly amazing. Embark, please focus on optimizing your matchmaking system, I know for a fact a ton of people have stopped playing because of this.

#

This is a typical QP match score for me.
Since I'm above average the Matchmaking EXPECTS me to carry new players. (max level of my teammate was 45. min was 8. I am 100+)
In this system I can not possibly play casual in a casual gamemode.
I literally HAVE TO sweat to enjoy the game.
Because if I'm not sweating I'm getting absolutely rolled.
And note the difference between being rolled and losing. Losing is ok as long as you enjoyed the game. Being rolled, that is being completely dominated with a score like 1-10 is NOT FUN it is NOT ENJOYABLE. But it is the only outcome if you have no team and is expected to perform 1v5 with 4 meatshields.
BUT THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE IF I WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING IM NOT STRONG AT.
Because I literally won't have a team. The matchmaking will EXPECT me to carry. I HAVE TO sweat like hell if I want to enjoy the gameplay.

And this is not only bad for me, it's also completely horrifying for said new players because they are literally being farmed. It is not enjoyable for anyone except 2 players in this lobby and maybe that 18-18 guy.

Losing like that is also not enjoyable because instead of it being a fair defeat you see you lost only because your new players fed faster than their new players.

Since bots are coming in Season 11, here are two ways to make them even better for the community:
Sunsetted Modes in Private Matches: Let us play the latest versions of removed modes (like Steal the Spotlight or Solo Bank It) with friends in private lobbies. It’s a great way to preserve that content.
"Free Roam" Practice on Arena Maps: Instead of just the Practice Range, let us load into actual maps (Monaco, Skyway Stadium, etc.) with no match timer and toggleable bots.
This would be the perfect way to test destruction physics, learn map rotations, and warm up in a real combat environment at our own pace.

Hello Embark Team, is it possible to exchange emerald coins against gold coin? Because I prefer the skin of gold weapons.
Because if we want gold or platinum weapon skin, we have to stop to play when we reach the level. Until next season.

Diamont coin = 2 Platinum coins?
Ty, have a good day.
Ps: I got only 3 emerald coins this season (I reached the last level maybe is normal), but since I passed plati and gold levels why no coins?

For Heavy I was thinking if they were to get a sword Melee they would have an Iai like charge dash move similar to this Iai white purity style, any fan of kagurabachi, if you know you know. This move is so anime and would be so fun to have in the finals whether as a primary weapon OR a Lights Fourth Special being a weapon gadget that turns you into the bullet. Holding left click charges up the energy within the sheath, if your not holding right click you stay in place, allowing you to either pary or maybe its a static range, sending out an energy slash. IF you hold right click you aim the weapon using the butt end of the hilt maybe as the iron sight, when you let go of left click this time you go forward at blinding speed. The mechanic is similar to Ghost of Tsushima with letting go of Triangle to draw the blade. True samurai stuff XD Would highly recommend anyone in the Dev read Kagurabachi, part one ended, would give you tons of fun ideas. IT's so john wick and has ton of movie references lol

Serious feedback on Sword

I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with it before) and a few things get lost in the heated "Sword is overpowered/unplayable" discussion.

First of all both sides need to be understood where they are coming from.

Yes in a casual lobby where people don't hit the important shots a Sword that is just running around and left clicking people to death seems absurd, overpowered and has little to do with skill expression.

The Problem is as soon as you cross the line of people investing enough time to hit even just a moderate amount of their shots left clicks become less and less viable and you have to learn combos and movement tricks to minimize the damage you take while maximizing the damage output. That's where the sword lunge comes in. Lunging is the part where skill expression shows with movement, spacial awareness and positioning. With reducing the damage AND introducing a rotation clamp the lunge becomes really clunky to use and less effective than the simpler M1 spamm.

So what can Embark do to fix the issue for both sides ? Put the focus of the weapon back on the lunge to reduce frustrating scenarios.

Second Problem, lunging through an entire team and dealing massive damage with very little counterplay should not be a thing. It is very frustrating to play against and extremely situational. It should be like other melee weapons. Left clicking less damage but can multihit and the "special attack" single target but is special in some way. Hammer has a single target high damage and destruction. Sword should have single target damage on the lunge but high mobility.

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant.

I intentionally didn't talk about hit registration because it haunts the game as a whole and has only gotten worse in the beginning of season 10 but of course it increases the frustration for alot of people. Hit detection, desyncs and server performance in general should be a heavy focus for you because it is very frustrating and from experience playing with alot of different people a big reason people ragequit or in general leave the game. Like all other bugs it should not be a reason to increase/decrease the weapons power and should rather be fixed.

Changes

M1 Damage 88 -> 74 (one more left click for each class)

Lunge Multihits -> removed
Lunge Damage 120 -> 140 (without multihits and less left click damage you need the combo breakpoint of 138 to have a fighting chance)
Lunge rotational clamp -> removed

Other Feedback

Ranked needs one less round. The current playerbase can't sustain proper matchmaking with 24 player lobbies. Cutting it in half with 12 player lobbies and 2 rounds for everyone so even the "losing teams" play for 3rd place would not only help with players being on similar skill levels but also relieve frustration for the casual playerbase from losing rs in 15 mins but gaining the same amount in 45 mins.

Small QOL Updates You have the so many good features that would be little work for you but would impact the community positively and fill the content breaks. One example would be releasing the collected data about weapons etc. as an api just like for example "op.gg" or "lolalytics" from League of Legends. Collab with the talented people in your community that already built sites like the leaderboard/bans/rename tracker. Other ones would be changing the weapon stats to numbers instead of a vague bar so it's more readable, adding assists to the profile or having a simple match history that locally saves the stats of the last 10 games or so.

Embark please do NOT listen to this, but ranked matches should become 2 rounds and 12 teams, that's a massive one, and another thing that you should add is the ability to deny a defib with a click of a button, coz many mediums just straight defib mid fight and it is so frustrating you can't do anything with it and you just give the opponent a free kill just because of your teammate's mistake, also many of them defib when the other teammate is manually resing which is so bad, fix this and add the ability to deny defibs, thank you

I think it would go miles if people would be able to tryout the visors in the practice range. I would defintely buy some but if you like a visor or not is highly depandable on personal preference and you cant really know if you like it on a specific weopen until you bought it.
So until I can try them out I wont spend the money and I do think that this is true for a lot of other player.

Rest assured buddy, rotational clamp wil NEVER be removed, like, ever. Either learn to aim, chump. Or play Flamethrower Heavy, you don't have to worry about aiming then. Also the call to nerf main hit swing only proves you're a thrust spammer who wouldn't have used the main attack anyways, and you believe 90% of a weapon's kit deserves to be gutted.

Without rotational clamp, sword lights just swing around during yhe thrust to widen the hitbox, rabidly shaking the mouse/stick around like a drunk old man at the gas station lavatory. This is not only unintuitive gameplay but also unrealistic when you know about fencing. In swordfights, thrust attacks are seen as high-risk, high-reward moves because it grants a hard hit with a lot of reach instantly, but if your opponent dodges or parries it you're left wide open. So if you're an amateur, you can be countered by an opponent who can predict your moves, but in the hands of a professional it's still a dangerous tool.

Another interesting bit is the 140 damage buff for thrust attacks. Now it doesn't change the breakpoint of hits with thrust attacks on any class EXCEPT mediums, as 2 thrust attacks will not finish off the medium. That's because you're a loser who can't even win against mediums because of your bronze-tier positioning aim and positioning, and want to get back the crutch that lets you bolt around the room while violently shaking the mouse to compensate for your lackings thereof.

Not only are you a sore loser who can't aim properly with thrust attacks, you are also a crybaby who will cry and moan over your spams rather than learn to better yourself. No worries, I'll just copypaste this every time you spam the same thing again and again, just like you.

Spamming LMB is possible in RT / WT games too. The most absurd thing is to understand that LMB x2 is now more profitable in EVERYTHING than combos like RMB and QM (176 damage vs 160, while for 160 you need to spend time and press the attack at the right timing, which is often impossible for superdash-users with low Hz monitors). The developers literally assumed the community is stupid because they found it easier to just dash and press one button point-blank to deal an easy 88 damage. I think they have taken a course on reducing the TTK – this is evident in all the latest weapons and it's damage. All damage is now aimed at compensating for the damage of Lights with damage to those Lights. The sword's LMB damage falls into this category too, but it is UNREASONABLY high. It doesn't pay off with the risk of a swordsman getting close to enemies and spamming almost 100 damage at time. But now the whole RMB + LMB + QM combo leaves a Medium with 2 HP...

Personally, I suggest reducing the frequency of LMB attacks and, if you suggest changing RMB to a single-target attack, then make it so the swordsman stops after the RMB hits, delivers a QM (regardless of whether it's a regular RMB or a superdash), and then deals damage with LMB / holding RMB again / any other actions. This combines convenience, the importance of movement skills (superdash), and measured LMB damage (instead of the spamming that's the case now).

The developer also needs to implement sword damage range tracking. When two swordsmen clash, a stupid ping game starts, where for some reason there's no way to kill each other (as is the case with firearms). This is nonsense and unfair to people who can play comfortably with 80-100 ping. This mostly applies to the sword's death damage. I've had a lot of situations lately where i had the hit sound and effect, but the damage isn't counted.

its nice that when defending a cashout you no longer spawns half a mile away and such but the spawns still need work. Thirdpartying has gotten ridiculous. its happens so much now.

still the same thing on rs gain and loss. grinded 2 tournament wins, got maybe 1500 rs in total. after this get 3 matches in a row where there is no chance of winning with dummie teammates and enemies start being last season diamonds and u lose all that gained rs and more in 30 minutes. fun gameplay loop. tournaments in which u lose 900 rs still happen and thats more than u get for winning the whole thing.

tbh may be the time to just give up this game, it has been a really long time already and i dont think meaningful enough changes are gonna come anymore

i love to use dash light, but even after to CD increase at the start of this season, dash is still too strong in my opinion.
i would think about removing dashing sideways and just forward and backwards, maybe that'll nerf it enough for the other 2 specialisations to be a viable option.

random idea that came to mind.
when perfect backstab (with knife), refund 1 specialisation

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. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons 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.
If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted. Just revert it to S1.
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, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

2nd this! Riot needs to be just a tad bigger for reliable blocking, or make it so that you hold it a bit differently when ADS’d so your feet are totally sticking out. You already basically cannot move while holding it up so why not make it actually work as a defensive option?

Also PLEASE sort out the stuttering/lag issue - it is new to this season when you will randomly start to rubber band / “get stuck in mud” - it makes movement super sluggish and will get you killed every time.

That said, this error does not come with the network icon errors like the server lag issue from last season - this seems to be more of a game-driven issue than an internet-driven one

the 10k mmr difference is a bit of a joke - especially with how the lowest ranks are setup. i'm mainly playing with my girlfriend who now got ranked 2k, while i got ranked 16k , with similar performance in the same games. the issue is here that there is no other skill based matchmaking available , while in the lower ranks people tend to fluctuate quite wildly between ranks. i wouldn't set it to a straight up 10K , but make it a curve where the lower the rank, the higher the margin of change . i don't like to compare the 2 games, but valorant does something similar, but there are really hard cutoffs which also drove people to just smurf.

it might be smart to just give soloqueuers the choice, under the "illusion" of choosing higher risk games or something as a queue option to enable a broader range.

Calculate the damage of LMB vs RMB first.

RMB = 120 damage per charge time when player slowing down (and with the superdash you need to get the right timing), hitting at the current angle.
Medium = RMB conditions + LMB x2, Light = RMB + QM (if you manage to QM when you attack not from behind), Heavy = RMB x3 (which is simply impossible at high ranks)

LMB = quick spam 88 damage per time without slowing down and just with dash.
Medium = LMB x3, Light = LMB x2, Heavy = LMB x4
Which seems more profitable? Combos have been indirectly removed from this game. It's a shame, as the sword has great RMB-potential

@worthy totem try not to read between the lines. The sword is horrible - refers to both sides of "horrible", both to an unreasonably strong LMB and to an unreasonably weak RMB

p. s. They're even deceiving you about RMB-degree lock: it can be removed in two ways and rotated the same way as it was before the "nerf"

I need a clearer way to preview skins and see exactly how they look on my character before I can commit to buying them. For the Sledge, I can’t decide between the Iron Sermon or the Iron Tactical Mace because I can’t properly see how I would look with either one, even with the current inspection feature. This resulted in me just saving my money instead. Hopefully a third person inspect for shopping can be implemented

Also, if you recall, on launch of the game there was a glitch where the spectate camera would collide with mines. This created a scenario where dead players were destroying defenses, but nevertheless downed players had something to do. Fast forward to today, and I still find myself trying to fly through mines out of habit. I think making it so that spectate cameras can collect transparent sprites could be a fun mini-game within the game, something to keep people playing or to release stress. It doesn’t need to actually do anything functional, except maybe the save file could keep track of how many sprites you’ve collected as a ghost or something. So instead of flying through mines, we can fly through sprites or some other thing.

So you fixed M meta now. Good, it was in need of a mix up.

You left H also in its OP state and even buffed the class more with Lockbolt CD buff. Why STILL you haven't addressed the Winch Claw and RPG being basically uncounterable free kill buttons? Winch shouldn't pull enemy if you miss it, remove the stun. Dash only barely can be considered a soft counter to these and you decided to nerf dash which was basically the only specialization which can keep these SUPPOSED GLASS CANNONS ALIVE against these oneshot abilities?! Grappling hook buff does absolutely nothing. It is still too slow to use mid combat and you can either get IN to a fight or OUT of a fight with it and it is close to impossible to escape with grappling hook against ruby players which laser you mid hook as it pulls you too slow and they just track you mid air. At least give it one more charge if you want it to be a viable spez.

You nerfed already struggling class L even more and buffed it in places where it is in right direction yes, but you don't seem to understand why 99% plays dash. What does L bring to the table now? I guess gateway still is good, glitch can be replaced with data reshaper and infuser is still great. However when you play L against any kind of decent players like 75% of your deaths are from RPG. It is WAY TOO EASY TO USE for the impact it has.

How the are you supposed to play L now in this meta? I've been on the cusp of ruby every season, I main L, I have INSANE aim (I've won a mouse from 2 Aimlabs tournaments: Logitech 2024 Ultimate #131 / 90 454, Logitech 2025 Fall #271 / 662 477.) and my mechanical skill on L is insane and I just find pretty much zero reason to pick L now. On close ranges you either get instant deleted with winch or rpg, on longer ranges you still can very, very easily lose ARN-220 vs FCAR as the DPS is pretty close and you have 100 less HP as L. I just dropped L altogether and started playing M and suddenly I am winning so much more matches it's insane.

# fading yoke So you fixed M meta now. Good, it was in need of a mix up. You left H also in ...

read the patch notes next time. the data reshaper got buffed to be able to reshape through shields. This means that its the hard meta for medium. Winch claw is not played as the meta so dont complain about it. The data reshaper now being the stapple pick is horrible for heavy, every single part of a heavies kit is counterable with it. Stop evey dome shield push by reshaping it, no more lockbolts, get rid of the c4 drop. baracades? not a problem. If your really good you can reshape an rpg out of the air. I hope this points out to you how much of a short stick heavy got this season from just one gadget.

Feedback for embark:

Make it so that 50% of the ingame premium currency purchased on arc raiders is added to your finals account, and visa versa, to encourage more players to try both games. might be worth some thought.

The objective best way to play QUICK CASH (not cashout, my b) as the people who get the first vault is to just run out the time still. You win draws if you're in "1st", so if you win the first round you just win if you can kill time, which is very easy to do.

TLDR for the strat:

  • Get the first vault
  • Now run around and kill as much time as possible, do not put it in.
  • 2nd vault literally doesn't matter. If you waste enough time you make it so one team literally cannot win because if they get it in you just win 'cause you're in first place.

Just make it so whoever gets 10k second kicks first place out into 2nd and it'd fix this strat easy. Or just, idk, make it so draws happen lol.

BONUS COMPLAINT: Just make turret not able to be slapped around by physics (including the new specialization because it literally invalidates it). Make it literally cemented onto whatever you put it on. Let it fly away with the piece it's on or something, but let it STAY ATTACHED. The thing that makes turret bad is that if you try to get creative with placement it just falls down. It'd be actually fun and good if you could put it somewhere and know it wouldn't fall when someone breathes in the room it's in. If you don't wanna do this stuff, just properly give it like weakspots with armor on the sides. Something for it, like damn. Tweaking its damage, turn radius, etc, clearly isn't working. It NEEDS a mild rework.

balance your stupid fucking game stop buffing lights to be unstoppable if you have a brain. there NEEDS to be a reload mechanic on the throwing knives because at high rank theyre so oppressive. once again light dash is the most insane thing paired with throwing knives you can just right click and right click and then boom heavy dead while you have 3 dashes against a character that is somehow 8000 pounds so im just clunking around. once again, dagger backstab is way too easy to hit the backstab because your servers are awful and desync and tickrate on the servers is fucking awful

im done with this game, everything about season 10 has ruined the game for me. It doesn't even feel or look the same either, so much visual noise, clutter and fog everywhere, can't see anything.

I've spent 2000 hours playing off-meta loadouts, just for you to completely ruin both of them anyways. Already had to sweat if I wanted to play because im constantly thrown on a team with completely incompetent team mates, now my main weapon that fires 2 shots with a 2 second delay in between does even less damage, has a tighter spread so my timing against the awful net code and hit reg has to be even more precise, fights at any range are now harder I might as well just use the sniper now, it would be EASIER. Medium and heavies continue to get their hands held and you refuse to properly balance dash which is still run by 99.9% of lights.

I've been here since alpha, I used to be excited to play more finals, now it just makes me angry. Even though the hit reg has always been terrible, I still found fun in my niche loadout and gameplay style and twice now you've completely ruined it by making changes to weapons unnecessarily by PURE GUESS. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed with a game I loved and wanted to see do well, it's just been constantly dumped on repeatedly by the devs.

Revert the double-barrel nerf, and stop making balance changes based on guess work. If you want to make the double-barrel a little better, revert the damage nerf and the spread change, remove the long delay between shots or shorten the reload instead. Stop nerfing things that are already bad and used by less than 1% of the player base, you just anger the 1% of people that use it. I don't want to use M11 dash like every other light in the game, stop ruining the game for people who don't want to be meta slaves.

I switched to SH1900 in like season 4 after you ruined the LH1 and have used it since, im not switching again. this double-barrel change was unwarranted and pointless and didn't help anybody except everyone who isn't using it, which it didn't need. I went from being able to clean up kills when my first shot only registers half the spread to taking 6+ shots to kill a medium because I land 3 pellets every shot, most people aren't surviving long enough to shoot 2 times, let alone 6. actually went from getting 1-3kd on a regular basis with the odd bad or negative game in TDM to going negative almost every game while simultaneously sweating my ass off and this gun was no where near great to begin with. I was on a steady climb to correct my negative KD and win/loss rate from season 1-3 ruining it from all the cheaters and leavers, to going only negative and being completely useless OVER NIGHT.
maybe try fixing the net code before you go making changes to single fire guns with no ammo, you guys have done some absolutely baffling things in this game, but this one has made me the most angry on top of all the other changes you just made to the game to make playing off meta as a light even more oppressive.

Why do you do this to your community stop pulling the call of duty bs and buffing the piss out of new weapons for no reason... thats literally the reason people like this game its a fast pace fps that feels nothing like COD, so why do "COD" type updates i get you guys lost a big part of your team due to arc raiders being such a success at drop but that is no reason to just stop giving a shit about the game that got yall here.

My friend and I quit this game after 100+ hours because of smurfing in season 10. smurfing not being a bannable offense is the reason why the matchmaking is broken (other than looking for 24 players for every match in a 10k player game...) and the reason why this game is not taken seriously. Imagine dota2 or cs2 with smurf allowed, complete joke. I'm very disappointed and I understand now why the player base does not rise but stagnate and falls every season.

Some small Cerberus tweaks would be nice, Model buffs were promised at season 9 and Cerberus has been on the low end ever since Season 7, another small buff to push it up would be nice. Not sure about specifics as it's fine in range and bumping its damage up would lead to its old version but it does need a little something

Add an 8v8 Ranked Point Break mode, make it function like the competitve mode in Marvel Rivals or Counter Stirke:

  1. Both team gets to play as Attackers and Defenders,

  2. Best of 3 rounds, whoever gets most progress as Attackers in their respective rounds win it all, progress measured with number of stations taken with least coins spent. Tie-breaker simply adds another round with 3 stations instead of 9, no coin refill.

  3. Rank gain/loss is based on individual performace, not just victory. The worst players in each team lose the most points, so on and so forth. MVP is from the losing team can still gain more points than others based on how good they played.

Also do something about Pike, it's basically now redundant and obsolete with the presence of Crossbow and Repeater being better as marksman weapons. Either:

  1. Increased damage to 50 but also reduce firerate by 15-25% to make it easier to use without changing ttk, or

  2. Reduce damage to 30 and give Pike to Heavy instead, since Heavy doesn't have any Marksman weapon available, and this nerf would actually keep it in line with BFR Titan.

@strong dust The reason the stats for light players is skewed is because its a FUN class to play. However, I would bet money that the winrate of light in cashout format (you know, the whole basis of the game) has plummeted in recent seasons. I just can't compete with weapons that have a 3x lower TTK than me as a GLASS "CANNON". Even with original dash it took immense skill to win LvM, but forget LvH.

Grapple should change to a tether, you can preset it somewhere and get pulled rapidly back there on click, so it can be used as a grapple still AND a fight escaper.

Also whoever says sword is "so weak now" is a fucking liar. Dominates anything even remotely close quarters, which is at least 60% of encounters. Multi is absurd, swing rate is high asf for the damage. Stfu

It's ok to play with more than 1 weapon it's called adapting and if you're not willing to give up some weapons than it's a you problem.. I have given up a lot of weapons because of nerfs ,etc. Also imo LH1 is still very good atm just spend more time with it and you are going to get used to the recoil and DB has been a cancer for a long time but still pretty fun to play with. Try other weapons or another class because you can fk around much more if you play all classes ,hope you don't give up

That's a massive gap, what was even the point of raising the matchmaking limits?

Embark really needs to do something about casual matchmaking. I get it, lower player count. But worse than that is the huge skill gap between a high level player and a new player and mashing them all together into a match. This dynamic is constantly driving new players away. Which is why we're left with the same sweaty 10k-20k players on steam every season.

the matchmaking is still unbalanced as fuck. as soon as u reach bottom gold, the enemies are many times last season diamonds but teammates are still dummies :D

good example is getting 4th place in a tournament where the enemies are currently lower ranked than you, but in reality most of them are last season diamonds and you lose 400 RS FOR 4TH PLACE IN THE TOURNAMENT

you lose 400 rs after you have already won the first round, how is that fair in any world? especially when in reality the enemies are way higher rank than you

after you win something, you are supposed to gain, not lose.

just remove the first round from ranked, u cant manage anything resembling balanced with this playercount which just goes down.

atleast if u gave teammates that match the enemies, the problem would be so bad. its just that the enemies are always better.

the chances are always against you. u have 2 teammates and u have a total of 9 enemies per round. the diamonds are not gonna land on ur team, especially when many of them are full premade

during 4 matches i played this morning, 1 was without most enemies being s9 diamonds. rest 3 games were full of them and one was a literal diamond already in this season = 100% ruby player last season. im bottom gold 22k. fuck your system. nvm another match with a 3x ruby badge enemy. what the fuck are u doing

for the match with literal rubies, i still lose 300 rs when being bottom gold. please do show me the calculated chances of me ever winning this tournament.

Matchmaking has been busted ever since this smurfing epidemic. Apparently Embark wants everyone to smurf I guess since they dont even ban them for exploiting the system. Just download hacks or smurf like everyone I guess. Not like Embark gives a shit. Or uninstall this trash like myself. There is a reason the game cant even break 14k players at peak hrs on steam charts during a brand new season. Its pretty pathetic tbh.

Season 10 is not nothing, but it is also nowhere near the kind of update that will actually turn things around.

Yes, there are some decent changes. The Ranked matchmaking changes sound better than before like solo queue, so I can give Embark that. But most of the core problems are still here.

There is still no match history.
There is still no proper career profile with real long-term stats.
There is still no in-game LFG with filters or proper direct chat tools.
There is still no real numerical ping/latency indicator.
There are still no proper numerical weapon stats.
Directional audio still needs real fixing.
Hitreg and servers still need real improvement.
Keybinds per class/loadout would still be a huge quality-of-life feature.

The respawn changes also do not look like a real fix to bad respawn locations. They look more like spawn-selection tweaks. People will still learn and abuse the same awful spawn spots, camp them, and punish re-entry because the underlying map flow and level design problems are still there.

The spawn locations are utter horrible, get a grip Embark and learn some proper level design. Spawn camping is not fun.

The new UI/comms additions are fine, but locking cooldown info behind wheel communication is still the wrong call. That information should be visible directly under teammate names at all times, not hidden inside another input layer.

And where is the serious action on cheaters and griefers? The game is still full of people blatantly ruining matches, and the patch notes do not make it sound like Embark is actually getting ahead of that problem.

Also, no, these are not all fresh new players. A lot of them are just smurfs.

So yes, Season 10 has some improvements. But it still does not address enough of the real issues that make Ranked and overall match quality frustrating.

The UI Updates to ranked does nothing. It's equally horrible system.

I'm a controller player and aim assist is not op at all it only slowly guides your crosshair to the enemy not making much difference if it was off or on in the first place.. i don't see why you are complaining if your mnk can make crazy 180s and have a much bigger advantage than controller but you just blame it all on the aim assist. Just a accept that some controller players are better than you. If it was so op then wouldn't the top players all be controller players?

S11/12 wishlist. This will make me feel more comfortable with investing more time and $$ into your game.

  • Defib refuse button. But only for 10-15 seconds at a time or until my respawn delay is ready, that should be long enough to change loadouts but not long enough to be abused to indefinitely stay dead and AFK farm WT pts/XP.
  • Y'all need to clamp DOWN on cheaters more than u clamp down the camera on sword. Stop false bans.
  • Killcams background performance improvement
  • Map voting in QP, map bans in Ranked - players have more agency over our lobbies, the dev team gets to see which maps are played on more or less so you can decide what's in a healthy spot or what needs optimization or rebalancing. You are already experimenting with Starlight Hollow 24/7 in Point Break as its own playlist for a month, the team could have gone without that if you did something like "to kick off our NEW map voting feature, we're giving our NEW map Starlight Hollow a big boost in the Point Break voting pool for the next 3 weeks!"
  • nerf Healing Emitter and H+Infuser, not sure why we needed more of this in the game to begin with
  • Gadget/spec numerical cooldowns instead of amber square filling up - buried in ping menu does not count and does not currently work for tablet gadgets
  • Let me change optics in practice range or mid-QP
  • Detailed weapon AND equipment stats in-game such as cooldown, RPM, effective range, damage (radius), duration...independent from The Finals Wiki
  • Detailed career stats or at least match history
  • Game replays (I understand this is one of your most challenging tasks)
  • Let us designate a different group leader in lobby

Embark, please — a request from Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷

We are going through a monumental economic crisis. Our president has destroyed the purchasing power of the middle class, and even small personal treats can be very costly, so we’ve had to cut back on many things just to get by day to day.

Steam has reintroduced the option for “regional pricing,” allowing developers to choose the best pricing for each region.
WE NEED YOU TO TAKE US INTO ACCOUNT!!

The dollar is extremely high in Argentina. The cost of everything has skyrocketed.
Please give us the chance to keep spending money on Embark, to continue supporting you while also enjoying our favorite games!! 🥲🙏🏽❤️

I hope you include us in regional pricing. In Arc Raiders, you applied it for our neighbors in Uruguay, but Argentina — which is truly in crisis — was overlooked 😥

Thank you.

The Hoverpad does actually need to have it's HP lowered. 4 ks-23 shots to bring one down is ridiculous.

To that end though it might be the KS' fault. There shouldn't even really be any damage falloff for environmental destruction in the first place...

I could go on a rant about what needs to be done about the KS-23's inconsistencies but I have quite the catalogue now.
You get the idea.
Or rather you don't, cos nothing has been done about it yet.

Please add a new light specialization and buff light a bit our ttk is way to low against the new medium crossbow and all of our weapons leave them with 1 health and it’s so unfun when they live on 6 hp using throwing knives, bow, and the m26 matter I never see anyone use them anymore but they are my favorite weapons and feel great to use the worst part is just how little damage they do even on headshots compared to medium and heavy weapons the crossbow can three shot a light and gets 15 shots and a fast reload but the m26 matter and bow each take three shots and in that same amount of time the crossbow gets off 9 shots so I have to dodge 6 shots just to survive throwing knives also take 3 shots to hit unless I hit a headshot just buff the damage enough to two shot them on a non headshot

Simple thing: more regular male voices. There are many "normal" female like voices like DeDe, Odilia, and Valkyria, on top of the 2 default ones, which are just female voices with different accents and such. All the male like voices are things like robot, commando, and pirate or some other voice with a weird effect on it, which aren't necessarly normal. So simply put just some more normal male voices, for example ones with different accents. That's all thanks for reading buh-bye!

The Finals have been bleeding players for months now, even though the new map and ranked progression rework is one of the best so far. It's clear that the core gameplay is the main issue here. It's very fun and aptly balanced, but so team-dependent and unpredictable that new players get frustrated and quit easily. Here's how to fix it:

  1. Give all guns bullet drop and projectile behavior at max range, making long range pokes easier to dodge.

  2. Add a 2nd weapon slot for all classes. 1 minute cooldown for guns, 30 seconds for melee weapons.

  3. Remove Sprint. Make sprint speed base speed for all classes, and crouch speed equal to walk speed.

  4. Add knockback to all explosive self-damage, with more knockback for less base health.

  5. Make hipfire as accurate as ADS during all movement states except mid-air, and remove ADS slow.

  6. Add 1.2x headshot multiplier to all shotguns, melee weapons and grenade launchers.

  7. Give all classes double jump and wallrunning.

That's it, that's basically all the game needs for a less stagnant and more fun meta with more skill expression and less complaining.

Lol, this season after us waiting for over three months, they come with a new map, one ability, one weapon, one gadget.
Coin shop which shouldn't take this much time to develop, all skins are just using the same texture, ruby or diamond wow amazing. Ranked still the same, I tried the game after leaving it for sometime. And I can tell that I didn't miss anything so far 😂
Maybe season 10000 ranked will become better. Let's just hope 🤞
The funny thing is with the whole season 10 reveal and this season is wow, I felt like they made something unexpected. But they just did what we know already. New map and just some tiny upgrades😂

A lot of these suggestions either take away unique aspects of Finals, buff Light or complain about server and ranked issues we're fully aware of.

Season 10 is not nothing, but it is also nowhere near the kind of update that will actually turn things around.

Yes, there are some decent changes. The Ranked matchmaking changes sound better than before like solo queue, so I can give Embark that. But most of the core problems are still here.

There is still no match history.
There is still no proper career profile with real long-term stats.
There is still no in-game LFG with filters or proper direct chat tools.
There is still no real numerical ping/latency indicator.
There are still no proper numerical weapon stats.
Directional audio still needs real fixing.
Hitreg and servers still need real improvement.
Keybinds per class/loadout would still be a huge quality-of-life feature.

The respawn changes also do not look like a real fix to bad respawn locations. They look more like spawn-selection tweaks. People will still learn and abuse the same awful spawn spots, camp them, and punish re-entry because the underlying map flow and level design problems are still there.

The spawn locations are utter horrible, get a grip Embark and learn some proper level design. Spawn camping is not fun.

The new UI/comms additions are fine, but locking cooldown info behind wheel communication is still the wrong call. That information should be visible directly under teammate names at all times, not hidden inside another input layer.

And where is the serious action on cheaters and griefers? The game is still full of people blatantly ruining matches, and the patch notes do not make it sound like Embark is actually getting ahead of that problem.

Also, no, these are not all fresh new players. A lot of them are just smurfs.

The performance is just so much worse currently, massive stuttering at start of matches.

So yes, Season 10 has some improvements. But it still does not address enough of the real issues that make Ranked and overall match quality frustrating.

The UI Updates to ranked does nothing. It's equally horrible system.

Add more virtual extension skins! FCAR and RPG-7 are long overdue! Especially since they can be easily implemented with other skins having parts of what the virtual extension skin would look like... Definitely P90, Cerberus 12GA, Dual blades, Throwing knives, Shak-50, Flamethrower, Spear, BFR Titan and Frag grenade as well.

FCAR is in fact the easiest, just take the L.E.Downshift skin and remove the ugly animated effect from it and BOOM - virtual extension skin

Feedback

1. Midnight Hollow: it would be nice to introduce a 'Last Stand' when the final (😉) respawn token has been used for Attackers (meaning one last full-team respawn, perhaps with a timer?)- right now, Attackers suffer from people mindlessly respawning & causing the Elimination by surprise to others.
2. Team Signals: Allow teammates to also say 'Don't go here!' as one of the signals on the wheel.
3. Thermal Vision Rebalance: #👂┇game-feedback message
4. Shotgun & Bomb-gun VS Sword lunge: It's a biggie- as a Blademaster, bombguns are an absolute menace. They deal lots of structural damage + lots of AoE damage (and shoot pretty quick), which makes using a melee weapon quite difficult. On top of that, shotguns can kill in close quarters from full HP (despite having range regardless). Even a dagger's supposed 'backstab' ||('cause sometimes they just do it from your front)|| can insta-kill opponents from full HP.
A Sword, on the other hand, has no range apart from close in-your-face quarters, a 140 DMG lunge (which costs a 3 seconds wind-up) but isn't able to insta-kill.

I personally would like to see a wind-up decrease on the lunge from neutral to be 0.5 seconds shorter than what it is and a lunge, during attacks, to be a 'quick lunge' of about 1.5 seconds wind-up. Same damage per hit, just less of a hassle to use.

Love the fact smurfs go rampant and noone at embark seems to raise a hand by now. Love how casuals quit after being killed once or twice. Love how servers are a steaming pile of crap.

You are educating your player base to be trash: team doesn't carry you ? Your enemies are better than you ? Just quit, nothing happens. Leave behind a 1 vs 3 vs 3 game, the pinnacle of fun.

Now everytime I see people quitting or a row of red icons blinking I quit with no remorse. It's been 9 seasons now.

The fact you announced "melee system is getting a rework in S11" is an open confession about it being a tad broken. It's not rare for me to run into lobbies w/ 4+ people dashang spamming swings mindlessly ang ending MVP

Spoiler, after 9 seasons I started to do the same. How can't be fun killing 20+ ? Of course these games are stale and the sweaty dudes running the same loadouts is the contrary of fun but hey.

It's what Embark taught me. Won't be bearing it anymore. It "works" ? Onboard with it. F*ck fun. We are here to massage our little egos. orf_pfff

Serious feedback on Sword

I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with it before) and a few things get lost in the heated "Sword is overpowered/unplayable" discussion.

First of all both sides need to be understood where they are coming from.

Yes in a casual lobby where people don't hit the important shots a Sword that is just running around and left clicking people to death seems absurd, overpowered and has little to do with skill expression.

The Problem is as soon as you cross the line of people investing enough time to hit even just a moderate amount of their shots left clicks become less and less viable and you have to learn combos and movement tricks to minimize the damage you take while maximizing the damage output. That's where the sword lunge comes in. Lunging is the part where skill expression shows with movement, spacial awareness and positioning. With reducing the damage AND introducing a rotation clamp the lunge becomes really clunky to use and less effective than the simpler M1 spamm.

So what can Embark do to fix the issue for both sides ? Put the focus of the weapon back on the lunge to reduce frustrating scenarios.

Second Problem, lunging through an entire team and dealing massive damage with very little counterplay should not be a thing. It is very frustrating to play against and extremely situational. It should be like other melee weapons. Left clicking less damage but can multihit and the "special attack" single target but is special in some way. Hammer has a single target high damage and destruction. Sword should have single target damage on the lunge but high mobility.

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant.

I intentionally didn't talk about hit registration because it haunts the game as a whole and has only gotten worse in the beginning of season 10 but of course it increases the frustration for alot of people. Hit detection, desyncs and server performance in general should be a heavy focus for you because it is very frustrating and from experience playing with alot of different people a big reason people ragequit or in general leave the game. Like all other bugs it should not be a reason to increase/decrease the weapons power and should rather be fixed.

Changes

M1 Damage 88 -> 74 (one more left click for each class)

Lunge Multihits -> removed
Lunge Damage 120 -> 140 (without multihits and less left click damage you need the combo breakpoint of 138 to have a fighting chance)
Lunge rotational clamp -> removed

Other Feedback

Ranked needs one less round. The current playerbase can't sustain proper matchmaking with 24 player lobbies. Cutting it in half with 12 player lobbies and 2 rounds for everyone so even the "losing teams" play for 3rd place would not only help with players being on similar skill levels but also relieve frustration for the casual playerbase from losing rs in 15 mins but gaining the same amount in 45 mins.

Small QOL Updates You have the so many good features that would be little work for you but would impact the community positively and fill the content breaks. One example would be releasing the collected data about weapons etc. as an api just like for example "op.gg" or "lolalytics" from League of Legends. Collab with the talented people in your community that already built sites like the leaderboard/bans/rename tracker. Other ones would be changing the weapon stats to numbers instead of a vague bar so it's more readable, adding assists to the profile or having a simple match history that locally saves the stats of the last 10 games or so.

Embark,
There's a bug going around for a lot of people where they have red lag icons for a whole match. Then for the very next game it's gone. I'll be with my duo, he'll have it and I don't. Then the next game I'll have it and he won't.

It feels like my connection to the match server is going around the world first, and then around again to come back.

Can this get investigated if it isn't already? It's happening often enough to become infuriating.

don't get me wrong, the battle passes for the seasons are always sick. Especially with this season. However, a piece of feedback that I have is that Ever since ultimates were added, premium and free pass levels have gone way down in quality. It's like embark specifically makes the premium worse so that the ultimates are cooler. Now, the premium is still really nice, but I just feel like ultimates make getting actually cool cosmetics $30. In my own opinion, the premium should be much harder to get (once you get it, it renews each time), since essentially everyone will have it in two seasons given the free version, playing rewards, and emails. The premium should be more expensive, or at least take longer to uunlock, since it doesn't really feel special anymore.

Rest assured buddy, rotational clamp wil NEVER be removed, like, ever. Either learn to aim, chump. Or play Flamethrower Heavy, you don't have to worry about aiming then. Also the call to nerf main hit swing only proves you're a thrust spammer who wouldn't have used the main attack anyways, and you believe 90% of a weapon's kit deserves to be gutted.

Without rotational clamp, sword lights just swing around during yhe thrust to widen the hitbox, rabidly shaking the mouse/stick around like a drunk old man at the gas station lavatory. This is not only unintuitive gameplay but also unrealistic when you know about fencing. In swordfights, thrust attacks are seen as high-risk, high-reward moves because it grants a hard hit with a lot of reach instantly, but if your opponent dodges or parries it you're left wide open. So if you're an amateur, you can be countered by an opponent who can predict your moves, but in the hands of a professional it's still a dangerous tool.

Another interesting bit is the 140 damage buff for thrust attacks. Now it doesn't change the breakpoint of hits with thrust attacks on any class EXCEPT mediums, as 2 thrust attacks will not finish off the medium. That's because you're a loser who can't even win against mediums because of your bronze-tier positioning aim and positioning, and want to get back the crutch that lets you bolt around the room while violently shaking the mouse to compensate for your lackings thereof.

Not only are you a sore loser who can't aim properly with thrust attacks, you are also a crybaby who will cry and moan over your spams rather than learn to better yourself. No worries, I'll just copypaste this every time you spam the same thing again and again, just like you.

Rotation clamp can be loosened a bit more but without it that would give Light too many movement options with sword, besides the current system sword has is a lot better than what it used to have where it was done with exploits. Sword does need some tweaking as it's currently kind of struggling but it's hard to do without making it feel like low level players are completely defenseless, even if the whole "sword is overpowered" argument is just low level

(this weapon will constantly make noise which is audible from 10 m away and when swinging it is audible from 20 m away, secondary is twice as loud)(swinging does 200 structural damage and secondary does 850 structural damage per second for reference a standard wall has 1800 structural HP)

claymore
104 damage
75 swings per minute
Secondary
When you use your secondary it drains your HP and evenly gives it to all players within a 2m radius
Your HP drains at constant rate of 50 DPS
and also increases the damage of your next attack based off of how much you healed with the weapon up to 304 damage for the next attack
(heals all teammates and enemies 80 HPS and you cannot move during the secondary and takes 1 second to cancel)

Medium

fire axe
130 damage
120 swings per minute
Secondary
Axe throw throws weapon dealing 145 damage which takes 1 second to throw

(when it is blocked it gets deflected wherever you were aiming no matter what the weapon is)(secondary headshot damage is 2x and can go through multiple people)(main attack has 0.2 m less range because you’re using 2 hands)(secondary moves at 15 m a second and can go up to 20 m)

Knuckledusters
108 damage
180 swings per minute

run at the same speed of the light while holding it down but cannot turn while using specialization and when you release you do an uppercut attack which sends your opponent 3 m in the air and deals 245 damage (Has no lunge)(secondary attack takes 0.4 seconds)

Light

Whip
60 damage
180 swings per minute
Secondary
You can Swing from any corner that is 3 m away Which takes 1 second
When used on a player it grabs them and throws them behind you and sends you 3 m in the air and moves you forward at the same speed and momentum of a evasive dash(your attack range is 3m but your secondary can reach 5 because you’re holding about half of the length)

Flail
130-160
190-220
250-280 damage
90 swings per minute
Secondary
You spin the flail for 1 second and then are send 10m into the air in 0.5 seconds if you hit anyone while ascending it will deal 320 damage
(perfectly timed hits will deal extra damage
You can also charge up an attack Which takes 0.25 seconds you can charge up 3 tears of attacks)(secondary ascending only takes 0.5 seconds)

100% agree. its incredibly obvious this is whats happening. even if they deny they make the normal skins less appealing for the sake of enticing people to buy ultimate, its undeniable that there is an incentive for them to do so!!! the lamer the skins are in normal passes, the better ultimate ones look. its a conflict of interest to be making both of them because why would they ever want to make the cheaper one seem more worth it than neccesary?

With the Season 10 Battle Pass we see a cool "revive" emote, but would be nice if we could have it as a replacement for the default revive animation using an "Equip" button like we do for other weapons, etc. That'd keep the game fresh & fun! I'd spend some serious moolah on small personalizationi details like that.

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. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons 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.
If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted. Just revert it to S1.
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, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

Double jeopardy as a mechanic is not only unintuitive but is unfun and feels terrible if you're not in the specific circumstances that Embark was aiming to address with this system. Here I am in ranked, first place, Pink team won't qualify even if they get the last cashout because Orange has too much money. Orange is the better team, so I strategically bring the second vault to Pink so they can get the double. OOPS, screw me I guess because when I threw the box for Pink to put in, it accidentally bounced off a wall and landed in the cashout! So I lose! For no reason!

There should never be a scenario where you get punished for participating in the gamemode's objectives. If no one put in the second box, we win. If Pink put in the box themselves, we win. If Orange or Purple put in the box, we still win. We only lost because it was US that put in the box and that just feels horrible. In this scenario it's not making the game any more dynamic or tense, it's not creating any fun emergent scenarios, it's just an "oh I guess we lose now, that's cool"

You need to actually honor RS refunds from server crashes, i know support tickets don't work because people posted their responses of AI saying they can't do anything about it. Since you love AI, PLEASE use Claude or SOMETHING man to determine server outage and timestamps of players around that time and give back any negative RS loss. You are embark you literally control the ranked leaderboards, please stop punishing players for things out of their control especially in ranked. Last season when I solo queued to Diamond, I had to claw back 2k RS from SERVER CRASHES on top of random duos with 15K RS difference on top of Rubies on top Smurfs on top of Hackers (that you let roam around for months before I see them on the banned list) . You just make everything so hard for players that want fair competitive gameplay

  • Mitigate smurfing
  • Honor RS refunds from server outages
  • Stop letting hackers roam around for so long (titan2.0 finally got banned after 1 week, Piansix and macdona were banned after 2 seasons, like cmon man)
  • Fix flamethrower diamond skin
  • Fix platinum skins, maybe add a stronger hue
  • Add more flags

edit: there you go lost -880 RS from server crash with no hope of getting it back

Data Reshaper

Data Reshaper can now reshape objects through Dome Shield and Mesh Shield

Dev Note: We’ve wanted to nudge up the viability of the Data Reshaper and this change, which makes the Reshaper somewhat of a hard-counter to Dome Shields, should be able to help with that.

Why does Dome Shield need more hard counters in the first place? It’s already balanced by tools like Glitch and only having 240 HP. I’m not even a Heavy player, but adding more hard counters, or even framing them as a design goal, feels like poor game design.

Counters should exist, but in a softer, more interactive way. Things like positioning or height advantage over close-range play make sense because they still allow for counterplay. Hard counters don’t. They remove interaction entirely, and that’s what makes them so frustrating.

We already see this problem with the Glitch Grenade hard countering any form of Mesh-based gameplay, whether it is paired with Spear or Sledge for more defensive melee gameplay. These are actually interesting and unique playstyles, yet they get completely shut down with very little effort. Instead of creating meaningful interaction, like selectively glitching the Mesh ability itself or targeting a single Heavy, Glitch affects entire teams at once, which in my opinion is extremely poor design and punishes team play with mesh far too much. And now with the introduction of Shockwave as a hard counter to melee, an archetype that is already struggling, it just doubles down on this issue and highlights how frustrating and unhealthy these kinds of hard counters are for the game overall.

As for the Data Reshaper itself, the buff is inherently fine, but this change isn’t really the buff it needed. Instead of turning it into another hard-counter tool, it would benefit far more from a rework. A resource-based system with higher uptime for more choosing and availability of barrels would make it more consistent and skill-based, especially compared to the current 24-second cooldown, which feels overly restrictive.

The support team is great.

This season feels very nice to play for some reason, so I can finally enjoy the revolver. I do really like the data reshaper change, as i can now justify bringing it over other items, especially with the turret changes and the introduction of the hover pad. It's useful in almost every scenario. Nothing is funnier than being lockbolted by a heavy and then just seeing their confusion once it turns into a chair or a potted plant. The new skin for the revolver alone makes this season worth it for me, it's amazing.

Serious feedback on Sword

I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with it before) and a few things get lost in the heated "Sword is overpowered/unplayable" discussion.

First of all both sides need to be understood where they are coming from.

Yes in a casual lobby where people don't hit the important shots a Sword that is just running around and left clicking people to death seems absurd, overpowered and has little to do with skill expression.

The Problem is as soon as you cross the line of people investing enough time to hit even just a moderate amount of their shots left clicks become less and less viable and you have to learn combos and movement tricks to minimize the damage you take while maximizing the damage output. That's where the sword lunge comes in. Lunging is the part where skill expression shows with movement, spacial awareness and positioning. With reducing the damage AND introducing a rotation clamp the lunge becomes really clunky to use and less effective than the simpler M1 spamm.

So what can Embark do to fix the issue for both sides ? Put the focus of the weapon back on the lunge to reduce frustrating scenarios.

Second Problem, lunging through an entire team and dealing massive damage with very little counterplay should not be a thing. It is very frustrating to play against and extremely situational. It should be like other melee weapons. Left clicking less damage but can multihit and the "special attack" single target but is special in some way. Hammer has a single target high damage and destruction. Sword should have single target damage on the lunge but high mobility.

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant.

I intentionally didn't talk about hit registration because it haunts the game as a whole and has only gotten worse in the beginning of season 10 but of course it increases the frustration for alot of people. Hit detection, desyncs and server performance in general should be a heavy focus for you because it is very frustrating and from experience playing with alot of different people a big reason people ragequit or in general leave the game. Like all other bugs it should not be a reason to increase/decrease the weapons power and should rather be fixed.

Changes

M1 Damage 88 -> 74 (one more left click for each class)

Lunge Multihits -> removed
Lunge Damage 120 -> 140 (without multihits and less left click damage you need the combo breakpoint of 138 to have a fighting chance)
Lunge rotational clamp -> removed

Other Feedback

Ranked needs one less round. The current playerbase can't sustain proper matchmaking with 24 player lobbies. Cutting it in half with 12 player lobbies and 2 rounds for everyone so even the "losing teams" play for 3rd place would not only help with players being on similar skill levels but also relieve frustration for the casual playerbase from losing rs in 15 mins but gaining the same amount in 45 mins.

Small QOL Updates You have the so many good features that would be little work for you but would impact the community positively and fill the content breaks. One example would be releasing the collected data about weapons etc. as an api just like for example "op.gg" or "lolalytics" from League of Legends. Collab with the talented people in your community that already built sites like the leaderboard/bans/rename tracker. Other ones would be changing the weapon stats to numbers instead of a vague bar so it's more readable, adding assists to the profile or having a simple match history that locally saves the stats of the last 10 games or so.

the respawn animation via defib should be faster to adress the 3 second cooldown on all specializations and inventory it should not effect the players specialization it feels incredibly unfair that i have to wait 10 seconds for the animation to finish and another 3 for my inventory cooldown this is plenty of time for all of the enemy to converge on the 1 person being resed via defib and kill him without him being to react in time.
my suggestion is to at most allow the player to not have the players specializations be locked after a defibilators been used on them so movement tech such as dash charge and slam grapple or shockwave can be used for an escape

# minor star **Serious feedback on Sword** I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with ...

I like the idea of removing the rotational clamp on the lunge while causing single-target damage (whomever you hit first)- this way full teams can't be taking a lunge's DMG.
However, besides the fact the lunge can't one-shot anyway, regular attacks should remain multi-target for certain honestly. It is quite satisfying to have the occasional moment where you wipe a team in a clutch while they tightly stacked together. And, if anything, Sword = no range: it's high risk : high reward, that's why I'd support the sword's DPS output to be more fluent than it is. With the Dash cooldown increase, it's became increasingly more tight to deal proper damage.
Also, wasn't the lunge damage already 140? I recall them nerfing it to 120 or something one time, but they reintroduced it back to 140 after the rotational clamp.

What do you think of my suggestions #👂┇game-feedback message ?

As a dagger player, this would gut the weapon even harder.

Maybe the other weapons need tuning instead. Light should be a high mobility character. Perhaps the massive amount of M11 player with dash makes u look at it this way?? Mby issue lies with the M11 then.

The dash nerf this update had made it have 1s extra cooldown per charge. Thats a total of 3s if all dashes were used.
For M11 or other non melee weapons this change wasnt as big. But for dagger it was pretty bad.

Season 10 is close to nothing. There practically is no improvements at all.

Most of the core problems are still here.

There is still no match history. HOW?
There is still no proper career profile with real long-term stats.
There is still no real numerical ping/latency indicator.
There are still no proper numerical weapon stats.
Directional audio still needs real fixing.
Hitreg and servers still need real improvement.
Keybinds per class/loadout would still be a huge quality-of-life feature.

The respawn changes also do not look like a real fix to bad respawn locations. They look more like spawn-selection tweaks. People will still learn and abuse the same awful spawn spots, camp them, and punish re-entry because the underlying map flow and level design problems are still there.

The spawn locations are utter horrible, get a grip Embark and learn some proper level design. Spawn camping is not fun.

The new UI/comms additions are fine, but locking cooldown info behind wheel communication is still the wrong call. That information should be visible directly under teammate names at all times, not hidden inside another input layer.

And where is the serious action on cheaters and griefers? The game is still full of people blatantly ruining matches, and the patch notes do not make it sound like Embark is actually getting ahead of that problem.

Also, no, these are not all fresh new players. A lot of them are just smurfs.

The performance is just so much worse currently, massive stuttering at start of matches.

The ranked system is equally horrible system. The UI Updates to ranked does not bring any improvements to the mode.

So now a week has passed since my first time playing now for some major feedback.

  1. My wallet is crying because of all the cosmetics. Was worth it.

  2. I'm definitely a heavy main with a slege hammer

  3. I'm having a lot of fun, infact the destruction never gets boring. I have also found the best spots for quick destruction.

  4. I love set and forget gadgets, Mines and c4 all stacked. Have had multi kills already. Even one time exchanged the c4 with a healing orb, put my own mines on it when itd hp was low and had to move back because we lost our defensive position and threw it at an enemy light, they caught it, instantly exploded.

  5. have made some friends

  6. Have created my own definition of winning (if I laugh its a win, I'm having fun, just because the game says otherwise doesn't mean anything, the game can say I won and have a miserable time, is it really a win?)

  7. Have definitely not become addicted

  8. Have multiple funny skins for the slege hammer

  9. Really wanted to call out of work sick and just play, however im a horrible liar and don't have the heart to purposely use my sicktime when im not sick and will get uneasy without working

  10. Can't wait to get home and play more.

  11. the announcers definitely help keep the hype up.

however heres the cons

  1. There is definitely some sweaty enemy players that seems like smurfing however It seems like a mixed bag, there isn't sbmm from what I can tell or an effective one, despite this being frustrating I do use my losses on learning to do better but repeative issues can cause stunted growth to skills

  2. I'm indecisive on choices and not knowing in game on whats perfered on what role (offensive, defensive, support) without prior knowledge makes it hard to have consistent builds

  3. Leaving a party is still a bit too complicated, don't know why we have to go to a separate menu to leave party

  4. While the whole mvp 2nd 3rd is great at the end game its fine for the first few times and i have gotten mvp however it gets boring after a while, if we had a setting to skip it would be great. I can understand it in ranked but I just want to slege in more people's faces and get to the next match already.

Overall this is a great game and has become a replacement for almost all the games I play but definitely a replacement for all pvp games.

Honestly devs, take one season of no maps. And add new variations to the maps already in the game.

Arenas at the beginning of the game like Las Vegas were filled with variants such as Tripwires and Turrets. But now every new map either has suspended structures or zero variants at all. It just makes it seem like the vision for the game was lost about 5 seasons ago
(Season 0) Monaco - 2 Variants
(Season 0) Seoul - 2 Variants
(Season 0) Skyway Stadium - 2 Variants
(Season 1) Las Vegas / Stadium - 2 1 Variant
(Season 2) SYS$HORIZON - 0 Variants
(Season 3) Kyoto - 2 Variants
(Season 4) Fortune Stadium - 0 Variants
(Season 5) Bernal - 1 Variant
(Season 7) NOZOMI/CITADEL - 0 Variants
(Season 9) Fangwai City - 0 Variants

Additionally, another thing that made The Finals stand out was the several game events that happened during a match.
(Season 0) Molten Madness (Never added - revealed in beta patchnotes)
(Season 0) Meteor Shower
(Season 0) Low Gravity
(Season 0) Mega Damage - pretty pointless
(Season 0) Orbital Lazers
(Season 1) Alien Invasion
(Season 2) Retro Invasion 82 - pretty pointless
(Season ?) Dead Go Boom
(Season 8) Reworked Dead Go Boom

World tour had many game events with some reaching the main game. However, most were still discarded afterwards which is still a shame.

Dead Go Toxic - Leaves Gas Bombs after death
Rushdown - Eliminated contestants leaave speed boosts
Double Jump
Hackout - Contestant silhouettes are visible through walls
Double Dose - 2 Game Show Events activate at the same time
Head Hunter - Team with highest Elims gain a bounty
Nedstrike - A giant kaiju throws boulders into the arena

The Finals have been bleeding players for months now, even though the new map and ranked progression rework is one of the best so far. New season dropped, but playercount didn't improve like it usually does for live-service games dropping new contents.

It's clear that the core gameplay is the main issue here. It's very fun and aptly balanced, but so team-dependent and unpredictable that new players get frustrated and quit easily. Here's how to fix it:

  1. Give all guns bullet drop and projectile behavior at max range.

  2. Add a 2nd weapon slot for all classes with 30 seconds cooldown for melee and 1 minute cooldown for the rest.

  3. Add an option to equip another specialization which takes up 2 equipment slots instead of 1.

  4. Remove Sprint. Make sprint speed base speed for all classes, and crouch speed equal to walk speed.

  5. Add knockback to all explosive self-damage, which inversely scales with max health.

  6. Make hipfire as accurate as ADS during all movement states except mid-air, and remove ADS slow.

  7. Add 1.2x headshot multiplier to all shotguns, melee weapons and grenade launchers.

  8. Give all classes double jump and wallrunning.

That's it, that's basically all the game needs for a less stagnant and more fun meta with more skill expression and less complaining. These changes are quite drastic, but without decisive steps this game will not last long enough and lose relevance.

I'll support this game until it dies, but seeing player count so low everytime, to the point that it's affecting my matches (especially ranked), always same players, matchmaking terrible -- had a brand new player with me for Recruit & Rise and we fought against a ruby on the new map.
Needless to say bro did NOT have a fun time.

So yeah, idk we always get those promises of improvement, but it still feels the same.
The Finals is such a gem of a game, but seeing the state it's in, feels like a dead end. Really sad to see...

Excited to see the next's few seasons updates... Especially S11 for PvE?

# ruby marten So now a week has passed since my first time playing now for some major feedback...

I've read this and relate to it so much, this game is just awesome even if sometimes I want to defenestrate my monitor but that's another thing.
That definition of winning calls to me as well hug_friend
I've had one time where it was Seoul and Moving Platforms and I told my two friends "I'll go lockbolt and healing ball for this map, you know why hehe".
Got one kill by snaring someone then tossing the ball off the map, that medium freaked out and almost walked off, the "lockball" did the job. I was laughing my shit for like two minutes.

I also had another match with two other friends where a dumb team would never stop doubling cashouts, that griefed us in the first round. They kept on doing it, except that we got both doubles. At the end of the game, both boxes were split. Little did we expect to own both splits, and this, till the end. A box was standing there, I stole it, while the three other teams ended up wiping each other, and the other box on the platform, mind you, was just there, being ours, not even stolen, just aura farming.
We ended up with $101,000 that round.
(In both games we lost but still laughed)

This game creates memories.
Everlasting memories. hug_friend
I wish you and all the players in this game to live and experience moments like this.

Hey, I've been playing since the end of season 1/Start of season 2 and here are my thoughts.

Pros:

1.The destruction is really really good still, I'm glad you guys fixed the issue of destroyed structures not being destroyed that occured way way back in the past, the destruction is still really good.

  1. Cosmetics are still spot on and I love the customization. It still is very friendly to f2p with there being zero p2w advantages from what I can tell and the fact you can earn currency via world tour now is really nice.

  2. Beautiful graphics, love the sound design and the game show feel so it doesn't have the same cosmetic issue with cod.

  3. Gun play feels nice.

And a lot more but I don't want to write that much lol.

Now for the cons:

  1. Matchmaking, from what I can tell a massive flaw for The Finals is it's matchmaking. In no world should a fresh contesting be put against someone who is a s2 diamond. It causes both the New player to get stomped and the experienced player to have a shitty game with no challenge. A great game is when both teams at least are at an even level to where there is a challenge for both. But with The Finals matchmaking it's common to get very unbalanced teams to where it feels like a gamble every time if I want to have a fair game.

  2. Smurfs and hackers take a long time to be punished, and griefing needs to be punished more

  3. Season 10 has been VERY lack luster imo.

  4. Weapon balancing has been very up and down, CL40 meta had always had an issue of not being punishing enough to the medium for shooting at their feet, and only now is it being fixed. There have been a lot of examples of the finals having weird balancing changes and should probably try to fix that.

  5. Server issues STILL persist to this day, fix your servers.

Keep in mind this is just my opinion so if you disagree with me that's fine. But overall that's my feelings and nerf the crossbow into a projectile weapon.

Bring Back Thermal Vision

I’ve been playing THE FINALS since the beta and have stuck with it through every season because it truly supports every type of player and playstyle. For me, that inclusivity matters more than anything.

I have poor vision in real life, which makes medium- to long-range engagements extremely difficult. What drew me to the game was its balance between melee and ranged combat, allowing players like me to compete in our own way. Playing Light with a sword already puts me at a natural disadvantage, but Thermal Vision helped level the playing field—it allowed me to actually see opponents at a usable distance and engage fights properly.

I was always willing to sacrifice a gadget slot and accept its limited duration just to have a fair chance to compete. To most players, Thermal Vision may have been just another gadget—but for me, it was essential. It fundamentally shaped how I played and is a big reason I fell in love with the game.

Since its removal, I’ve been forced to switch to close-range options like the flamethrower on Heavy, and even then I rely heavily on teammates using motion sensors just to track enemies clearly.

Please consider bringing back Thermal Vision—not just as a gameplay feature, but as an accessibility tool. Players like me came to this game because it allowed us to compete despite our limitations. Losing it means losing a part of what made THE FINALS special.

Once again, a low level account going 28-4 magically hitting all max damage shots from any distance, any movement, any visibility, no visibility. People are blatantly cheating and it's an issue.

i really want to like the new map
the style is awesome, and when you are actually able to get into a normal match, its really fun

its just sad it rarely gets to that point because the match ends stage one in a defender victory most of the time

defender high ground and large open fields to poke attackers over really did not do starlight hollow any good

# sonic spoke Someone putting up a distress signal?

Prolly cause the game is on life support😂. Normally you would expect to see an uptick of new players/returning players on a new season as people want to check out the new season. Take season 8 for example, there were 32k players on steam charts. Compared to these last two seasons which only have like 14k (a lot of which are people making multiple smurf accounts). So its probably closer to 10k (or less even).
Game is barely hanging on. And the roadmap for season 11 looks lame af. So idk if the game will make it to season 12 at this rate. ☠☠☠

can we do something to give more value to medium? compared to light medium is literally worse in everything. it has worse weapons and worse util. double light heavy is literallly the fucking meta cuz medium is useless compared to just running lights with heal guns... just give thermal to medium so atleast we get a way to fight against the meta without joining it. Double L heavy is all i see every fucking game.

for another practice range QoL I was thinking it would be nice to have you able to pick a loadout to go up against whether its a full team or just 1v1. Just to practice countering weapons you are not accustomed to going up against.

At this point, just delete the Light class and let the Heavy bonk everything

I used to be able to equip the Bloodlight Mask from the Mythic Estrela Morta outfit from the S8 Ultimate Battlepass along with the TGM25 Official Visor from Twitch drops with no major clipping or unintended collisions.

Now I can’t despite it not being a bug for the longest time, and I also am losing out on what small voice effect customization I had.

It would be awesome if this was reverted or if more cosmetics in the headwear/facewear category were inspected more closely to to be made eligible with certain headwear/facewear, especially considering there are multiple mythic outfit cosmetics being put onto the facewear category that have custom voice sounds but unfortunately do not have a specific variant to work activate voice effects that is available on the headwear region.

Hey embark, solo q still terrible btw, facing a full stack with a bunch of newbies. Like what the actual ****. It's one thing if it happens rarely, I'm seeing it every day now. Especially in powershift. Also what about the god awful matches that are the first match of the day, like does the algo deliberately find the worst possible players in the game and hand them to a solo q. Is there some financial issues? Y'all just wanna shut down finals servers? Cuz it seems like you guys are dead set on doing that. Nobody, I mean nobody, not the winners or the losers like a match where one side is fully dominated/oppressed by another team the entire duration of the match. Do something about the matchmaking ffs. For us, employed, spending, "casual" players, the casual modes at least need to "look" like a fair matchup.

So I am going to keep queuing for Point Break and will keep leaving lobbies until I get 50/50 attackers/defenders ratio... I could not be more over playing defense, and 90% of the time I am stuck on defenders. These are fresh games so it's not like I'm getting put into matches already in progress. The matchmaker is rounding up 16 people and deciding I need to be on defense 9 OUT OF EVERY 10 GAMES... I hope the matchmaker likes accounting for people leaving before the match literally even starts, because that's what I'll be doing until this sees a change

In the last match alone I faced:

  • Getting set on fire through a solid wall while reviving someone
  • Paralysed in place by a Heavy with a goo gun stalling for time, which also fucks up the hitreg
  • Killed behind walls at least 6 times because of your 0.2 tick servers
  • Unable to ADS after pinging an objective

Perhaps if you weren't so busy making so sure the game is impossible to lose for anyone that picks Heavy and has no integrity you might have time to get the core mechanics to work reliably.

You need to actually honor RS refunds from server crashes, i know support tickets don't work because people posted their responses of AI saying they can't do anything about it. Since you love AI, PLEASE use Claude or SOMETHING man to determine server outage and timestamps of players around that time and give back any negative RS loss. You are embark you literally control the ranked leaderboards, please stop punishing players for things out of their control especially in ranked. Last season when I solo queued to Diamond, I had to claw back 2k RS from SERVER CRASHES on top of random duos with 15K RS difference on top of Rubies on top Smurfs on top of Hackers (that you let roam around for months before I see them on the banned list) . You just make everything so hard for players that want fair competitive gameplay

  • Mitigate smurfing
  • Honor RS refunds from server outages - just lost -880 RS from server crash with no hope of getting it back
  • Stop letting hackers roam around for so long (titan2.0 finally got banned after 1 week, Piansix and macdona were banned after 2 seasons, like cmon man)
  • Fix flamethrower diamond skin
  • Fix platinum skins, maybe add a stronger hue
  • Add more flags

Data ReShaper should take down friendly shields, but immediately give item back to friendly, however it should still cost a charge.

When released from wench, opponent shouldn't have a animation, they should be able to just shoot.
Messing up the rhythm, & stalling is advantage enough.imo

Ziplines are Hardly reliable due to environmental instability, & so easy to counter it's destroyed by accident half the time.

A total rework I was thinking is completely removing 2nd Anchor point,
Allowing the string to just hover in place once manifested,
The 1st Anchor point should be unique from other Ziplines i.m.o, Not being vulnerable to bullets or explosions, rather only being able to be destroyed with a melee/weapon, or if the foundation it's built on is destroyed.
Update
It would be nice to combine hover pad with Zipline, maybe adding a acceleration to the second half of the zip line to help with jumping & placement of pad.

Multi Device, cool.
Spear hook Zipline deployer gun, cooler.

Different contestants statues, cute
Squaring off the bottom of statue so they don't roll on a res, Cooler

AERIALIST looks Soo dope, & so far feels really fun to use, however it feels a bit lackluster i.m.o
I believe
1 ) You should be able to cancel special if you don't want to use it
2) The orb should be able to heal +⁵⁰ & Emp (take away ability for half the time of normal emp, disables shields like usual)
3) when you hold orb you could switch between Emp mode, & heal mode, but i.m.o original aerialist abilities should stay in both modes as adding a third would only overcomplicate the specialization

Medium should be able to call back JumPads.

Medium mobility needs a cool down

I.m.o the class that specializes in utility is lacking.

P.S
T.y for the extra outfit slots

Spell book is 🔥
New map is shiny

If we can't use custom backgrounds for each contestants yet... That would be nice.
So would being able to reload cancel was designated intended weapon buttonOTTpikagrimace

Great season update Embark but still there's a work to do

10 seasons later and we still can't invite to lobby group as non leader, group leader STILL can't pass leader role to group member wth?

STILL no safe game in ranked, so im going to break it down to you Embark. Example you are silver 1 with 18500 rs and you gonna become silver 2 if you lose 1200 rs, but safe game prevents you from losing 200 since silver 1 starts from 17500, so you end up with 17500 so you still gonna be silver 1. And if you lose the next one you lose the amount of rs in full amount.

In the game like The Finals we really need it embark! It makes losing less frustrating and gives motivation to play more! Any other online game has it! Add it to The Finals!

Griefing meta needs to be fixed ASAP. This should be priority 1. in fixing ranked modes. Being a diamond player and having to play with rubies most of the time on the server means I just get griefed out in most matches because rubies play pretty much exclusively on 3 stack, I play solo, they see my rank -> I am griefed out and some noobs from gold/plat get qualified instead of us. I used to love playing this game, but this griefing meta makes me actually angry.

Disable autovault and auto grabbing on ladders and give us key to vault and grab ladders. The amount of times I have died in this game because I am stuck in vault animation or grab a ladder when I didn't want to is in the hundreds.

# quasi furnace I wanted to suggest a small but important QoL improvement. It would be super hel...

It can also be intentional. Considering the game wants you to treat the whole team as your squad and treat everyone the same.
For example, not having you prioritize defib to your squad rather than a random.

I understand the "where are you" being annoying so that you can both go on same point in defense for example and be able to coms in discord if you are in there instead of voice chat in game

A better QoL regarding this to me, would be forcing the game to spawn your squad together, the most possible at least. I notice a lot of maps have like 3 A, 3 C, and 2 B spawn pattern for defense for example, so if your squad is a 2 player squad, would be wise to spawn you in the same group of players, so that, for example, if you're 2 players, wherever you get spawned, you can comm with your teammate, and then there is no need for the color, for the first reason I said, while also solving the being seperate problem

Matchmaking is really broken or working just as intended. Waiting 10minutes during peak. When it used to be 1-2Mins max.

Waiting over 40minutes and giving up. During time periods it would take maybe 10 minutes max.

I’m getting only level 100+ in my lobbies and against pre made stacks in quick cash.

I have to now play in a party for faster queue times and more variety, but some times I only play for 1 or 2 games which is another task itself…

Honestly for the past few seasons it has kind of felt like your priorities have shifted from making a better game to making a lot of money.

I understand that a game needs funds to live and I do appreciate the quality of cosmetics in this game, however a game still needs good gameplay at the end of the day, and all these minimal updates with neither a ton of QOL changes for a ton of issues just rub me the wrong way, especially when you seem to always have plenty of time to update the cosmetic store weekly.

I also understand how they're different departments but still, there's things people have been begging for - for a long time mind you, that still isn't in the game. I'd just wish we saw a little more changes a little more frequently, that's all.

I love the finals and want the best for it, and am happy to keep supporting it for as long as it's alive. Keep up the good work and here's to a better future for the game.

Crossbow is hitscan and this is a massive blunder

Medium's only projectile weapon is the cl40.

The crossbow is practically speaking a silenced pistol; it's playstyle is near identical to the v9s, and there's nothing unique to it, justifying it's place as a crossbow among firearms

This could've been easily added as a silenced pistol in season 9 and then giving the playerbase an actual crossbow using projectiles in season 10.

Medium also still doesn't have a weapon that has:

4 body shot, two headshot, 2body+1head on light. Which IMHO is the most balanced archtype of weapon to play against and with as light - lh1 and deagles.

This is the real balance change the pike needs. Giving it 2x headshot multiplier will make it feel more unique from the crossbow and make it more usable as a ranged sniper against light, while having 4x bodyshot stops it being opressive against light.

Finally, weapon falloff

damage dropoff has both a start range and a end range right now. Having a start range makes damage extremely predictable and makes weapons with slightly worse breakpoints, much worse in practice than weapons that could be competative if only they took one less bullet to kill. Having weapon falloff starting at 0 meters, and scaling to 0 damage at an extremely far distance, would allow weapons with slightly worse breakpoints to be more comepetative at a broader spectrum of ranges

and the minimum damage cap in the falloff system results in some weapons performing better than they should at extreme ranges (m11 at midrange, v9s at extreme long range)

What is the issue with sound in this game? Obviously the sounds are amazing in the game, but the important ones are silent half the time. Sometimes you will have a heavy walking right behind you and you can't hear his foot steps. Even a dashing light sometimes. Its like there are not enough sound channels and the game just chooses not to play those ones.

It is not just a case of not hearing them, you can see it in replays, often there are NO audio indicators that someones right near you. You should ALWAYS be able to hear footsteps. If there are explosions or sound bytes from other things, like a cashout, if there are footsteps 2 feet away from me I should always be able to hear that.

Why can a light chase you sometimes and you have no idea? Other times you can hear them coming from a mile away. There is zero consistency with the sound in this game.

How can a game be so loud and so quiet at the same time.

Suggestion : Make ranked a 12 player tournament with two round with the second round being two final rounds
First round : cashout (3v3v3v3)
Second round : -first place vs second place in a final round format
-Third place vs fourth place in a final round format

Pros : Less player, less disparity in RS, so you have less chance of having a diamond and a gold in the same loby. Game are faster and similar level player

Hey whoever at Embark actually reads this.
I am rarely someone to complain in a forum for a game.
However the melee situation in this game has gotten out of control for me.

For me personally, I am a seasoned melee player.
my 2 highest weapons in-game are the Shield/Baton and the Sledgehammer.
I've been playing them since the last open beta of this game and what you have done to them is crazy to me.
I may get the reasoning behind nerfing the sledgehammer, however it now baffles me that i lose a 1:1 engagement in melee against a shotgun medium 90% of the time.
Especially with the addition of the mediums new ability, melee combat has become almost impossible.
Try to hit them? They blast you away
Hook them? They blast you away
Against a light? They dash, grapple or even just run away

I'm not saying that these abilities should be nerfed, they are of course what makes these classes unique. Instead melee should be buffed again.
It just doesn't make sense to me that a ranged weapon can out DPS me in melee, while i have to try and maneuver myself to them in a way so that i wont get damaged as much (which almost always is impossible).

In a melee scenario (against a sledgehammer) the opponent almost always has the advantage as they can see when the heavy swings and can almost always use an ability or even just run away.

Not being able to oneshot combo the fastest class in this game, whenever they get in my melee range even tho they have every advantage of staying out of it and they have the advantage of range is just crazy to me.

Why do I as a sledgehammer player have to use my entire tool kit of ability, RPG and shields just to kill one singular person, while they can just... use a gun and maybe dash away?
On a lot of maps (especially open maps like las vegas) the melee players are at an automatic disadvantage.

Please whoever at Embark reads this...
Just revert some of the Sledgehammer nerfs and try to make melee viable in general
Thank you for your attention

revert SH1900 nerf, it was unnecessary, unneeded and unwanted.

@royal fractal it was already hard enough to do good with, it was/is the second worst MELEE weapon in the game, it's probably worse than dagger now. This nerf was supposed to make it better at range, it made it worse in EVERY scenario. If you kept dying to a weapon that less than 1% of the player base uses, you're standing still too much.

@zealous pine it's funny because people tell me this sometimes, but I very frequently see people get pissed off in match and switch to it thinking it's easy kills, and they don't even make it through a round before they switch back, because it's not easy kills.

The Finals is often said to be rough on newcomers, but I've rarely ever seen anyone take any form of criticism well in this game. People usually reply with disdain regardless of what/how you tell them things. Apparently, having an inflated ego is a requirement to be a FPS player.

I understand that not everybody wants to play competitively, but there are tons of excellent solo games for those who just wanna chill. The Finals, even in casual modes, doesn't offer that. Any game where players face off each other will always be competitive to some extent, and no one ever likes to see their efforts go to waste because of a bad team mate. That applies to real life too.

Since season 10 didn't include any medieval daggers (besides the sword breaker that was given to dual blades for some reason) heres is a few historically used in the grip that the finals dagger uses. 1. Rondel dagger 2. Stiletto dagger 3. Dirk dagger 4. Quillon dagger 5. Bollock dagger.

Siletto and quillon are more popular. Bollock and dirk would be funny. Rondels were used for duels and war. These pictures were from Tods workshop. Using his pieces as referances will keep with accuracy and can be inspirational. Not trying to advertise, he's just a good source.

Daggers to avoid: Parry dagger, messer dagger, bauernwehr, ceremony daggers, sword breaker. These are daggers that are either single bladed or not traditionally used in dagger grip.

The dagger types I would personally spend money for: Rondel and stiletto. They are piercing daggers that, if we still used knives for self defense, would actually fit most in modern day fighting. Stiletto is very thin, making it pretty decent to argue for stealth

Hey yall! getting to the point:
Im a player from South America, we dont have cashouts or ranked cashouts in here (low playerbase I guess), so we have to queue on North America servers if we want to play those modes.

I dont get why we cant chose the desired server to play on, just the overall region that we get to pick on the menu.

Problem is: we get 200ms ping (minimum), no matter what we try. 200ms is A LOT for a fast-paced game like The Finals, where movement matters a lot. Its simply disappointing trying to play ranked at 200ms.

For example, in Marvel Rivals, I get to choose the Northern Virginia server to play ranked games, and my ping is 120ms, its still laggy, but VERY playable at high level.

Why cant we simply do that in The Finals (after 10 seasons!!!!)?

I tried those softwares: ExitLag, NoPing and had no success. Actually, my ping actually increased.

Can we please choose our servers when playing?

Make it so that when we queue we cannot be matched with the same people that were on our team in our last match for Ranked Tournaments
If we didn't hit the "play together again" button then we don't want to play together again. Simple.
This especially should be true when we just lost a tournament with those teammates. You are just setting up toxic situations.
This just happened to me on my third and fourth placements. Lost first round of the tournie with these two then next tournie I queue into and its the same two teammates. How excited are you to have the same teammates for your fourth placement as your third that you lost with them? We shouldn't have to sit there and guess around waiting some amount of time to try and not get queued with them again.

Okay here me out. I've been playing this game since s1 constantly avg diamond rank I appreciate the double jepordy cashout nerf, but we see what happens you have 35k the other teams plug it first cause they have a 30 sec adv and then they help another team plug it and team then kick you out happens 7 times out of 10 games it's basically the system either we do or they do it if you can;t beat it join it. tbh it feels like there is no reward at all for your hard work all minutes of the game since the first cashout till the last you dominate and another team does as well, so it's just a race on who helps the team with 3k money, which makes 0 sense that this team should win or move next round it should be much much more difficult to come back. I feel maybe if a team doubles the cashout on top of the double jepordy they get like half of the money, let's say 18k+18K 36k make it like 27k or smth tbh i dont know didnt think of it, but you guys created the game you can think of something fair about it maybe also remove the plug money. I just want the game to feel balanced and not play and get kills and get cashouts and not to mention the cashouts you work for sometimes has up to 2 or 3 teams, hence you did all that and just booop you get doubled teamed on gg wp on to next.

Yall really need to balance this game out.
Idk if its the gun balance, or the matchmaking, but just sort things out.

Some weapons are far too easy to use but still are crazy powerful-- FCAR, Xp54, M60. All they require is good aim. Then there's mgl32, dagger, cerberus. Require much more than aim. But still don't do nothing.
And the thing is lots of people like these weapons, but they're so demanding yet so dogwater, that you're **often forced to start using the dumb "meta" weapons **if you want to win. Unless you're a diamond level grinding player who can main just about any weapon.

And then there's matchmaking. Lemme not even get started.
Just like repeater and bfr are given high damage and stuff for their demanding aim, mgl32 and all these** niche weapons should be given some serious advantage.** Otherwise a XP54 light or M60 Heavy can bully a casual player of the same skill level playing with MGL32 just because he likes how it works. Unfair.

as much as Pike would benefit so much from a 2x headshot multi, unfortunately the Revolver already does that. All 3 classes in this game have only 1 semi-auto weapon with 2x headshot, LH1 for Light and Akimbo for Heavy. Having another semi-auto wepon with 2x headshot multi would basically make them too similar. However, since Revolver have shorter range and better hipfire, it wouldn't be overreaching into it's speciality too much and therefore would be a great change.

But still, alternatively they can just bump the damage up to 52 but also reduce the firerate by 25%. This would essentially reduce the stk against classes while keeping the ttk intact, therefore making the gun easier to use and better at sustained teamfights.

# waxen thicket as much as Pike would benefit so much from a 2x headshot multi, unfortunately th...

so what if pike has a 2x headshot mult. bro

its absolutely a lie that each class has only one semi auto with a 2x mult, because light has lh1 and sniper

yeah pike already has a similar identity to a lot of other dmr and high prescision types of weapons but thats even more reason to have it conform to the headshot rewards they already have

literally anything other than making the pike a semi auto ar with high body damage bro, im tired of having to deal with low prescision long range weapons that have little skill expression because repeater already fills the bodyshot role and that is not the weapon pike was designed to be

yall seriously need to make the crossbow a projectile weapon. Balance aside, the identity of the weapon is really poor, it feels essentially like an LH1 with really good hip-fire, and that hip-fire is a problem when you also have hit-scan rounds that deal full damage at decent range. Making it a projectile would balance it more similarly to the throwing knives, where the hipfire accuracy is traded off for having to lead shots.

I don't understand why they decided to make the crossbow hitscan when it being a projectile would make it not only more balanced, but also way more interesting to use and play against.

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. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons 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.
If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted. Just revert it to S1.
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, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

Understand revenue generation is key, yet unless ample diligence is placed on gameplay etc. players will likely not remain engaged in The Finals.

Perhaps more tangible results to improve gameplay and known issues as opposed to cosmetics?

No matter how great a players fit is, if the game becomes undeniably unenjoyable and unstable, The Finals will fade into the sunset with a slow death.

Potential (dumb) way to encourage medium players to use other gadgets besides defibrillator, without nerfing the defib into uselessness:

  • Give the medium class 4 gadget slots if the player doesn't select the defibrillator (makes sense as medium is supposed to have the most flexibility)

  • as soon as the medium selects the defib, they become restricted to 3 gadget slots instead of 4.

First round : cashout (3v3v3v3)
Second round : -first place vs second place in a final round format
-Third place vs fourth place in a final round format

Pros : Less player, less disparity in RS, so you have less chance of having a diamond and a gold in the same loby. Game are faster and similar level player

# rustic tinsel Even if it's not 40º,as long as any form of aim lock exists,sword will have the ...

It's not to appease to all the nerf whiners lol, it's simply to make the sword a better weapon. Before the aim clamp, sword was so spammy that using the M1 was seen as completely non-optimal and stupid, you only use M2 thrust and quick melee. All it took for a filthy sword spammer was to just zip around the enemy, spam M2 several times while violently shaking the aim to maximize hitbox, and no enemy survives that. That's not skill, that's cheese.

And the funny thing is, you can STILL do all of that, and more. But now, because of the aim clamp, you can actually bait the cocky shithead into missing his thrust attack (most M2 spammers are shit at aim, why else would they use melee in the first place?) and punish while it recovers. This is even more awesome considering real-life fencing, which is not like the flashy anime slashes these weebs got all their knowledge about swordfights from. You see, thrust attacks have great reach and force, but it leaves you way too vulnerable if you miss it, and honestly is a bit predictable if you're an amateur and can be countered with relative ease. So the aim clamp, as restrictive as it sounds, is actually a very accurate recreation of how sword thrust attacks work in real life. Kudos to whoever made this balance change, you know what you're doing.

Aim clamp is perfect because now you actually have to AIM and not just spam M2 left and right. Argue all you want, but you can't really convince anyone that shaking your mouse/stick around like a drunk old man at the gas station lavatory with every M2 attack is a viable gameplay strategy. Embark saw that, knew this shit is spammy, and decided to fix it. Same goes for Sledge M2 too, people never used M1 and only spammed M2 for free kills. Well guess what? Free lunch is over, better learn to aim instead of complaining.

-map only for LTM ? wtf, where is the castle to explose ? where is the village ? I don't name 3 huts lost in the countryside a village, and i am not sure i can even call it a good leveldesign. I understand what you tried to do with this lvl design for this kind of gamemode but in result is not really great and we havent a medieval map for cashout, I hope you'll make us a good surprise later
-No melee buff for a medieval theme is really really wild, I am not tell you to make melee weap meta, but give them a little something because they dont exist at all rn
-as you have done almost nothing about my previous request feedback and i have a text limit, well, see you after the slow mode cooldown 👋

I think point break needs a timer of some sort or one starts if the attackers haven't made progress. Stalls can go on for too long and with how many points you get it's not worth it in the end even if you win. Attack or Defense, no one likes a drawn out game that doesn't seem like it's going anywhere.

In general, I don't understand how this isn't a focus? TF has the most inconsistent server performance of any game ever, and it just continues season on season. It's wild. Just personally, I know 4 people who like the game but don't play just because it feels so unresponsive and laggy. THIS IS FIXABLE. EVERY OTHER GAME IS FINE - AND THE FINALS SUCKSSS

Hi guys, I hope some dev reads this, i sharing my ideas here on how to improve ranked/competitive gameplay I love the finals and I love playing competitively so I play ranked a lot. I always assume that people who are not in the hell that is solo queue always have a better ranked experience then I do. Since I’ve played ranked it’s progressively been a more and more inconsistent experience, this season being the worst as I am the lowest rank I’ve ever been. I think the finals needs a total revamped rank system. I’m playing with Players as good as me and players who are not so good and we are are loosing at the same rate, at some point the player rank is inaccurate and stops mattering. If ranked tournament was a skill calculator in the finals it would be inaccurate and inconsistent, I understand that this is not the fault of the devs or game it is simply because of the solo queue experience because the calculation is actually of the team skill and not the player skill, the team keeps changing and results keep varying. The question becomes what is the goal of competitive play. How can we consistently give players a quality and fun competitive experience. Consistency meaning not to always win but knowing that you and team did your best, and everyone on the team were on the same level.

Serious feedback on Sword

I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with it before) and a few things get lost in the heated "Sword is overpowered/unplayable" discussion.

First of all both sides need to be understood where they are coming from.

Yes in a casual lobby where people don't hit the important shots a Sword that is just running around and left clicking people to death seems absurd, overpowered and has little to do with skill expression.

The Problem is as soon as you cross the line of people investing enough time to hit even just a moderate amount of their shots left clicks become less and less viable and you have to learn combos and movement tricks to minimize the damage you take while maximizing the damage output. That's where the sword lunge comes in. Lunging is the part where skill expression shows with movement, spacial awareness and positioning. With reducing the damage AND introducing a rotation clamp the lunge becomes really clunky to use and less effective than the simpler M1 spamm.

So what can Embark do to fix the issue for both sides ? Put the focus of the weapon back on the lunge to reduce frustrating scenarios.

Second Problem, lunging through an entire team and dealing massive damage with very little counterplay should not be a thing. It is very frustrating to play against and extremely situational. It should be like other melee weapons. Left clicking less damage but can multihit and the "special attack" single target but is special in some way. Hammer has a single target high damage and destruction. Sword should have single target damage on the lunge but high mobility.

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant.

I intentionally didn't talk about hit registration because it haunts the game as a whole and has only gotten worse in the beginning of season 10 but of course it increases the frustration for alot of people. Hit detection, desyncs and server performance in general should be a heavy focus for you because it is very frustrating and from experience playing with alot of different people a big reason people ragequit or in general leave the game. Like all other bugs it should not be a reason to increase/decrease the weapons power and should rather be fixed.

Changes

M1 Damage 88 -> 74 (one more left click for each class)

Lunge Multihits -> removed
Lunge Damage 120 -> 140 (without multihits and less left click damage you need the combo breakpoint of 138 to have a fighting chance)
Lunge rotational clamp -> removed

Other Feedback

Ranked needs one less round. The current playerbase can't sustain proper matchmaking with 24 player lobbies. Cutting it in half with 12 player lobbies and 2 rounds for everyone so even the "losing teams" play for 3rd place would not only help with players being on similar skill levels but also relieve frustration for the casual playerbase from losing rs in 15 mins but gaining the same amount in 45 mins.

Small QOL Updates You have the so many good features that would be little work for you but would impact the community positively and fill the content breaks. One example would be releasing the collected data about weapons etc. as an api just like for example "op.gg" or "lolalytics" from League of Legends. Collab with the talented people in your community that already built sites like the leaderboard/bans/rename tracker. Other ones would be changing the weapon stats to numbers instead of a vague bar so it's more readable, adding assists to the profile or having a simple match history that locally saves the stats of the last 10 games or so.

Almost back down to silver because these people have no idea how to communicate. I presume that this is because it tries to match me up with people who are not on a team and searches for lower ranks/levels.

I agree except I think that multi hit and the rotational clamp on lunge should stay. I'm a sword main and when the clamp first appeared I was pretty pissed stopped playing.

I came back for season 10 and now I think it was a good change and I'm enjoying sword. It makes far more sense to be locked in the lunge position and forces you to be accurate. Plus multi hits are much rarer with the clamp so I don't see it as much of a problem

Don't add Starlight Hollow to regular map roster. Either that or rework it.

As attacker, you instantly get sniped by defender or just get jumped by two minigun heavies. No cover for attackers, what so ever.

After phase change, you instantly have to move to next one to not get killed by zone (What is this? Battle Royale?)
I've been killed by zone after joining ongoing match multiple times already. How did this pass through quality assurance, if you even have that?

Currently playing this map only just for Data Reshaper XP for level 5, cause there's tons of hay to reshaped. That's only good thing about this map lol

Crazy this is what everyone who wanted medieval theme season many, many seasons back get. Some small hut map and not castle to blow sky high. Shame.

THE FINALS – Build Identity & Team Role Proposal

Core idea: Light doesn't need a nerf, it needs constraints. Right now Light plays as a solo duelist — it opens fights, wins fights, and escapes fights, regardless of team coordination. These changes give each build a defined role.

PROPOSAL 1 – Dash: add inter-use delay
Set the recharge to 4-6s. Add a 0.25-0.5s mandatory pause between consecutive dashes.

The problem isn't recharge time, it's that Lights can chain dashes reactively mid-fight, making them un-targetable with no counterplay, or escaping even the most extreme circumstances — rewarding non-strategic, uncoordinated play. A pause forces each dash to be a commitment (escape OR engage)

PROPOSAL 2 – Grapple: distance-proportional recharge
Full recharge stays at 6s max. Short grapples recharge faster, proportional to distance used. Minimum floor of ~1s to prevent abuse.

Rewards precise movement, punishes reckless use. Just feels better.

PROPOSAL 3 – Cloak: smoke detection synergy
While Cloaked inside any smoke cloud, the user can see outlines/pings of enemies in that smoke. Only the cloaked player sees this.

Right now Cloak is just a worse solo Vanish Bomb. This gives it a unique identity as a recon tool. Also makes smokes more strategically interesting.

PROPOSAL 4 – Health pools: widen the gap
Medium +50 HP. Heavy +50 HP. Light unchanged.

Light's DPS is high enough that the current health gaps make it a viable general duelist against every build. Widening the gap reinforces that Light is a glass cannon — it should ambush and weaken, not head-on. Light still has the DPS to severely hurt or kill a Medium in a clean ambush. Against a Heavy it becomes about weakening for teammates. This makes team coordination matter.

VISION
Light: kills enemy Lights, initiates on Medium/Heavy to weaken them for teammates
Medium: supports Heavy with healing/utility, boosts team’s damage output
Heavy: pushes objectives, shields team, hardest to bring down

CL-40 is a shotgun with self-damage debuff at this point

Feels bad after S10 update, in theory it was a buff but it isn't. As a regular (and good) CL-40 player I can say it's a bad weapon now, it's too slow in everything, at shooting, reloading, killing (specially against light class when it was their counter, maybe they nerfed it because them, as always), etc., & the worst thing was the splash change, what's the point of have a grenade launcher in the game if to make it work you need to hit direct shots? doesn't makes sense. Hope Embark notice this & reverse the changes because It was a perfect and fun weapon if you knew how to use it, It didn't need changes.

daring fossil

Embark: we buff based on pick rate
Also Embark: we're gonna leave the SH1900 alone for 9 seasons because no one uses it and then nerf it for no reason.

On paper the double-barrel sounds like it's fine (even though it was already one of the worst guns in the game to begin with before season 10), when I use it in the practice range while jumping and sliding around it isn't completely terrible, except the chances of landing enough pellets to kill a heavy in 2 shots is very low now making the TTK for a heavy over 5 seconds if you miss just 1 or 2 pellets, but this is in the shooting range, I'm not being shot at by multiple people at the same time, the server isn't taking into account the network lag between multiple people and shots are actually landing where I'm aiming (something that rarely happens with the terrible net code in this game). I already had to sweat my ass off to stay alive since you need to be less than 5 feet away from someone to kill them (this hasn't changed) except now there's even less margin of error on where your crosshair has to be (completely dead center mass with ZERO variance) or you're fucked. Not to mention the amount of times my gun doesn't fire for half a second after I push the button, so the person has already moved enough out of the way for most of the shot to not hit. (I have several clips where this happens and is plain as day when you go frame by frame and you see me click the mouse, and the gun doesn't fire for 10 more frames on a 60fps video and then the enemy teleports an entire foot to the right in a single frame) This has got to be one of the most nonsensical nerfs I've ever seen in the game, and there's been a lot. The SH1900 is legitimately the worst weapon light has now, even behind dagger. Good job. I switched to the sniper one game I was going negative on and just didn't care anymore, and just ran around using the sniper hip fire and meleeing people, and I ended up positive and that gun has horrible hip fire dispersion.

Also can we do something about winch claw? in general its extremely broken, but with the SH1900 specifically I can't fight back at all. If I get grabbed and I fire, my shot is deleted by the server although my ammo count goes down. then after I'm pulled in I have to wait a full second or 2 for the chain effect to end before I can fire my second shot and by that time I'm already dead, and if I'm not then I have to wait 3 seconds to reload, or try to dodge and melee which is only possible against really bad heavies. Game is such a miserable experience for anyone who isn't a meta slave, and I don't even play ranked, that shit would make me want to self delete.

Let's incentivize people to use cloak and grapple by buffing them by the most miniscule amount, but then not because lights can't stay alive for longer than 5 seconds without dash, but dash is also OP and you refuse to properly balance it as well, the whole game has been backed into a balancing corner because you keep nerfing everything instead of buffing other things or doing proper reworks. Hows thermal vision coming embark? been out of the game for what 2 seasons now? Might as well just delete all the other shit that made the game bad. I honestly wish I could go back to season 2-3 but with all the shit you changed to try to minimalize nukes that were never reverted after you got rid of nukes, and after recon sense was removed from the game. You guys actually cared a little back then.

Light’s dash has a built-in 7.5s cooldown per charge now..no mindless spamming. Good aim tracks it fine.
Light got a lot of nerfs over seasons removed stun gun, cloak nerfed, dashes nerfed and more…yet we see these skill less players cry about light class is crazy.
People say Light opens fights, wins, escapes? Nah against skilled Mediums/Heavies, you die fast if you try 1v1. Repeater or Cerberus two-shots us easy, mines/turrets/glitch traps everywhere… yet they cry about speed?
I’ve played all classes and the heavy class is the most skill less class really low risk and high reward I’ve seen heavy players with their 2 testicals who are healing him constantly and ready defib him "if" he dies
Mediums have tons: HP, gadgets, two-shot guns. Heavies stack domes/shields/heals…glitch one, next pops. Light’s low HP, mandatory gateway for cashouts, no wall break. We run or die vs real players.
It’s skill gap, not class diff. Nerfing dash kills fun for anyone who thinks. Buff us if anything stop blaming mobility on ‘solo duelist’ BS.
If your brain can’t handle fast thinking don’t cry about it.. go play slow ass games like Valorant, Minecraft or whatever.

I'd love to see HUD customization. I'm thinking about TEAM COLORS. You get to choose (for yourself) what color you want your team to be, and what each ennemy team colors is.

I think in some way, it can be refreshing to be able to change that at all times.
Only down side is that it may be harder to communicate in ranked matches, if everyone has different colors. Therefore, maybe making better team names could solve it. Cuz so far, I've always seen people refer at teams with their colors and never their name.

Dagger meeded all these nerfs for sure:

Multi-hit removed (Update 3.2.0) Doesn’t need to be reverted but make hit detection aim-based and not proximity-based cause as of right now bullshit like the attached fangwai clip happen

Backstab windup increased 500ms -> 800ms (Update 4.0.0) No mentions in the patch notes btw
Backstab windup slows down to walking speed, was able to sprint freely before (Update 4.0.0) Make the melee weapon that NEEDS to close distance walk alright
Backstab windup can "undercharge" , no more tap to attack and gives attack fatigue on failed timing (Update 4.0.0) Same notes as throwing knives but different change, alright ig

Backstab angle reduced from 180° -> 150° (Update 5.9.0) Because droolers on Reddit and casuals not understanding that netcode sucks and affects everyone makes it a valid reason to nerf a turbo shit low pickrate weapon further 🤡

No longer can backstab non-contestants, goo, turret, lockbolt, etc. (Update 7.0.0) Removes a feature they showcased as an ability in the game’s alpha that has been in the game for over 1.5 years btw cool remove niche features from niche weapon, great
Cannot melee through goo anymore (Update 7.6.0) Makes goo fully fuck melee weapons while guns can shoot limbs when covered in goo but melee can’t, sure fuck melee more

Bugfix: Fixed melee attacks hitting through walls (Season 6-ish) Helped with small fences and other stuff realistically you won’t stab through walls
Combat score / XP gain for weapon progression nerfed (Season 5-ish, unclear patch)

Season 3 and Season 10 dash nerfs nerfing the only real viable aka dash dagger from 5.5 sec per charge to 7.5 sec per charge because casuals complained instead of making something like 2 charges + lower cooldown to make it actually matter nah nerf a spec and keep winch UNCHANGED lmfao

Please fix getting matched with 4 level 20s and going against emerald/ruby players in casual modes. This is the worst matchmaking I've ever seen in a game.

I think shockwave should deal like 1 or 5 damage. That way it can have utility about resetting an enemies heal timer, can pull lights out of invisibility

Make it so that when someone is disarming a point that it will extend the game while they are activating it. otherwise just end the game when there isn't enough time to get it anyways. It seems pointless to keep playing when there is not enough time to finish disarming the point. Would make for a lot more exciting endings

man, the new map is a terrible experience, I absolutely hated it. It's very confusing, lacks personality, and I felt it was completely out of sync with the game's concept and overall experience. It will be a sad season for me 🙁

No, I’m not even level 60.

I play the same level 160+ enemy and constant pre made stacks. I also join frequently the same matches in progress. I joined and the game was over in 3 minutes, I was the only one on the team.

It happens multiple times a day, after playing the same stacks, put to backfill rage quit lobbies.

It’s frustrating that I’m limited to playing pre made stacks as a solo queue… especially the same people every game.

The player pool was never this limited in S9, but now if I solo queue I rarely player other solo queues. They’ve cranked EOMM way too hard.

Even today, says 3 minute wait. Takes me close to 20mins per game. During times which would take maximum 5 minutes. Last game, all my enemies were above level 100 and my team mates were all below level 50.

In Season 9, matchmaking was never this slow.
