[still copper]

were looking for a trio who tryna join us

[narrow spade]

Play ranked there's very little mmr in casual modes. Ranked you will find all of the bronze-gold players you could dream of (well rn it might be a little chopped but wait a week). Nobody in diamond will realistically be in your lobbies, rarely a plat player.

[visual wave]

Knights of the Mischief League is the kind of music I’ve been waiting for

[lunar dune]

How balanced is the minigun (Like how is it not complete dog water?)

[sleek geode]

Insane DPS and it shoots in a rotation so if you're aiming center mass one in 5 is a headshot with 300 bullets if you heal pocket a minigun player who knows how to move there's not much counter play.

[marble saddle]

except for the taser (please again make it so taser doesnt stop minigun wind up, this is a dumb counter), which counters it crazy hard. otherwise yes, a minigun with ateam that knows how to play around it is very very hard to stop

[orchid holly]

I'm having fun but but you guys should return the better flow Light players enjoy with dash. Looking forward to your gentle correction to this touchy topic.

[proven jacinth]

Let us toggle off the 'aura glow' that some 'premium' weapon skins come with. It is distracting while using ADS. They look awesome as is without it and I want to use them

[clever moss]

The ARN inspects are broken

[scarlet pilot]

add/fix SBMM matchmaker in/for casual gamemodes and bring back head2head

[maiden jolt]

Reduce the amount of time it takes for the toxic gas to go away

[tacit panther]

Add a reconnect feature to every gamemode

[quick coyote]

Head 2 Head was the best parts of Cashout that was fair and balanced with no third partying and no griefing. You could play lots of maps and experiment with different loadouts and have a good chance of getting some wins in a short period of time and weren’t forced to play a 40 min tournament. Quick cash is a messy, third party simulator and plays nothing like Cashout.

[faint sundial]

Yeah the ranked system has not been made better at all

[proud cedar]

BRING BACK BANK IT PERMANENTLY PLEASE 🙁 ! !!!!!!!!!🥺

[lunar iron]

Playing point break and got Defense 8 times in a row. Tf is this matchmaking?

[cosmic hamlet]

How do you get better at the finals i am good at light but not medium and heavy

[daring ingot]

DAY 8 of asking for Head2Head to be added back

[mystic crescent]

Can we match the amount of contestant slots with the amount of specialisations.

Currently you can’t pick a specialisation to be in your reserve. Requiring me to edit loadouts athat I have already set. With a constant slot for each specialisation I could just have 1 per slot and make a loadout specifically for each specialisation.

[lofty hound]

Point break needs some kind of 30 minute mechanic, just kicking everyone with no rewards is super lame.

Simple solution: defenders should just win if attackers stall for 30 mins.

More elaborate: some kind of exciting rule change that can't be exploited by hiding and prolonging game any further. Like sudden death (slow damage over time and no respawns) and 1 minute timer for one last push.

[neat forge]

Keep seeing invisible hover pads with no way to shoot the enemy standing on them. Please fix this it’s annoying to die to someone that’s doing this. I’m not sure if it’s just a bug or if it’s an exploit but please look into it

[summer rune]

this is by no means a high priority problem, but it would be cool if the old ranked reward textures got updated, they look very lame compared to the updated textures

[pseudo warren]

Embark should give us Medival mode - just melee brawl 8v8

and switch up the weapons on classes for it FOR EXAMPLE like they did with dash and CL on blast off.

They should do :

8v8 Melee only with three options. NO SPECIALIZATION just a brawl

Light - with Dagger or Hammer

Medium with Sword or dual swords

Heavy with spear or shield/mace

And i know you think... LIGHT WITH HAMMER ? what the xxxxx ?

Exactly isnt it funny ? no dash, just 150HP with a BIG AH hammer doing 150DMG overhead

THAT WOULD BE THE BEST MEDIVAL MODE OUT THERE

[cinder elm]

Why Point Break needed that stupid 5-10 revives per armed vault?

Just had match as attacker where we almost lost armed vault, we got to next phase, but no use cause surviving teammates dont revive teammates back and just go after enemies to die some more and lose the game

How the hell you expect people to understand mechanics of the game if they keep getting changed and become more convoluted?

Players already play other modes like it's TDM, not taking objectives in consideration, so why complicate things?

Also remove cooldown after being revived with defib. Why the hell this still isn't changed? Punishing the one getting revived is plainly ridiculous.

[austere hemlock]

Bring back Head2Head.

[fallow loom]

the sbmm for cashout is ridiculous, I duo with a friend who is pretty new, but each game, around 10 games in a roll, my rando teammate is always the worst performing one in the whole game. Its bascially 1.5 vs 3, they always be dying first, and I get rushed by 3 ppl next. Never won a single game the whole night, a few hours straight

for most games we didn't even make it through the first round, in one game I sweat my pants to get into the last round then lost and got tbagged by the opponents, this is driving me nuts and it really makes me wanna delete the game. like comon I already have a bad player in my team you want me to have two at once? Not only that, oh who are my opponents? ruby players, three stacks, ruby three stacks, randoms but at least two of them are sweats, you name it, they are in every one of my games, its not even ranked. Think i'll just start an alt account and play in games that are fair to me

[limber orchid]

hey embark can you fix your laggy ass servers, arc AND this terrible game. ANY OTHER GAME I PLAY IM FINE, but embark games? HELL NO. Clean the dog shit, please.

[ancient kraken]

riot shield no longer blocks any damage even if holding the block its so minimal so what's the point in using it if i cant block any damge when running up to someone

[errant cosmos]

I play mostly point break alone. I have maybe 180 hours.

Majority of lobbys have huge sweats. I want to relax or at least not feeling I'm playing against pros. Plus it usually one sided, we either better by far or worse by far.

This game can be so fun but most of the time I'm queing up i hope it's gonna be fun. Feels like gambling. I don't know if it's the matchmaking (skillbased),only sweats or it is made on purpose so that I play more than i would have otherwise and because of that i am more likely to be tired in every aspect (decision making, emotionally etc...) and spend in the shops trying to get the fun I wanted.

[plush spruce]

Still no addressing the High Ping game-breaking issue? What's the excuse now? I convinced my friend to try the game, he had this horrible ping experience in at least third of his games. So he left, not gonna play The Finals any more. And I don't blame him. At this point either admit the game is on auto-pilot and nothing will done with it. Or step up and improve your communication with the player base at the very least. Fixing bugs and degraded performance is obviously a must, I'm not gonna even talk about it.

[wind geyser]

I am getting booted almost every match because of the insanely high ping. My internet speed is 1GBps and this issue doesn't occur in any other online game in my rotation. Please take a closer look at what's happening. I'm not the only one experiencing this...

[echo leaf]

i feel it, the matchmaking got weird ever since they updated it a few seasons ago. half the time i get games with ruby / esports players vs. newbies like.. what

[remote wadi]

maybe light should get a new gun cause heavy and med got new guns

[royal pivot]

make opengl and vulkan an option

[shut wraith]

Day 2 of asking for some kind of revolver or hand cannon on light, which heavy and medium both already have

[gritty tangle]

Bring back head2head quick cash is shit

[lost python]

Fix gyro auto calibration

[honest verge]

Enjoying Point Break again this season. I wish the game made coordinating easier. Making the team comp more obvious would be helpful, showing specializations in the pre-game lobby for example.

Also, I hate playing against Dash and Winch. Always have. And I'd bet they've consistently had strong pick rates throughout the games life. It's a shame when there is so much potential for build variety. I'd like to see less of them

[junior mural]

Hello, Embark team if you’re looking up in here please hear me out:

the new game mode you introduced last season, Point Break, is really really good. It’s really the rush mode we needed for a more casual and broad audience.

BUT, the game mode itself gives SO LITTLE world tour points that it is laughable. Making it to emerald takes hundreds of hours on this mode alone, which is not casual friendly AT ALL.

You also added a new map on it, and it’s cool, I mean I can see you wanted to incentivize the mode more, but this whole WT points just kills it right away. People like me will just go back to cashout and quick cash to reach emerald in a more realistic pace.

Please, just give it a good buff, the game mode is way longer than any other and it gives way less than them. To my knowledge it’s 1 point for a defeat and 2-3 a win which is really really slow for 15-25min long games.

Thanks.

[sudden spire]

Agreed

[nimble ridge]

Please consider more strict punishment for players who leaves ranked match, lately i've been having this a lot which is not fair to be honest, i spend some of my time playing aiming to rank up but sometimes i end up losing RS due to random dude decided to leave and whats more annoying is the RS im losing is like everyone else with full team loses! If teammate goes afk or leaves the match the RS im losing should be reduced due to unfair match i had, also one of the players who left the game on purpose i found him again in like 3 matches later i asked him why he said ( i have been having trash team and lost a lot because of that so i dont care no more everybody is losing with me ) i was shocked but wouldn't argue with this type of people bcus he might leave again, this kind of behavior in competitive games are not welcomed and should be really punished by at least 3 days ban in ranked, 10 days in second time happening, whole season ban OR they lose 2k-3k RS and this will create new low elo pool for players who actually all gets washed down bcus of -RS they get due leaving the game which will raise skill base for low rank players into a higher base

[sonic spoke]

Have you done all the academy classes?

[hollow cloud]

I don't wan to have to fight 2 other teams just for the last rat team to go steal my point, FIX IT

[timid lily]

Give us the option to change end of round music, like the Fireworks.

[ebon hemlock]

i drop 41 kills, 24k dmg and 15k obj in a point break and get 3rd in the final ranking... no one else was even close so how tf do they determine that? yall gotta rework this

I’ve been saying this forever. also to clarify, it’s 2 for loss and 4 for win, and for a mode that can easily go over the 20 minutes mark the amount of wt points is horrendous

[wide vortex]

FIX THE FUCKING NETCODE, REVERT GATE NERF, DELETE THE WINCH, REVERT DASH NERF, FIRE YOUR BALANCE TEAM JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TO MAKE THIS GAME FEEL BETTER .... FCAR BUFF WAS NICE AND THE NEW MAP IS 5/5 BUT CL40 BUFF ? OVERALL FEELING IS THAT THE BALANCE SQUAD SHOULD QUIT edit: also remove winch from the game

[grand hare]

Servers. Fix laggy servers

[hearty sentinel]

the finals might have the worst net code in fps industry now. It's really interesting how progressively worse it has gotten since season 9. you can just still shoot people for almost 2s now after they have disapeared off your screen behind cover.

[near ice]

​​I know we have Scotty and June...but they ain't no Bob Barker.

I feel we need a more impactful 'Host' for the gameshow. Honestly, the community manager Oscar has a lot of energy and he gets everyone laughing and excited...maybe instead of LIVE streams, they should throw him in game as a commentator and occasional in-game appearances to be the 'face' of The Finals.

Also, instead of just having events like wheels of fortune, maybe they should create some new mini games like a 'Mock-Jeopardy, something that engages the player in the lore.

Developers can spend less time explaining the lore if they create a small mini game that awards prizes for answering questions correctly. I know I'd enjoy that more than random wheel pulls....

One 'Final' note, I think the push to E-Sports was a bad call. Game shows are about selecting random fans, not professionals.

It would have been refreshing to see a game break the mold and hold events and short broadcasts in game. Maybe even let players sign up or randomly select players for a brief mini-game for a chance to win a small prize like a store item or some in-game currency. Maybe special titles or charms to show that you were once selected.

Have a brief in-game broadcast of the players attempt at the challenge whether it be a questionnaire on lore, a wheel spin, or a game of Plinko. 🤣

I just think the community could/would get excited to know that they could log on and possibly get a message inviting them for the opportunity.

No offense to streamers, but the regular gamer has been left in the dust over the years in favor of publicity.

Maybe it'd pop off harder if EVERYONE knew they had a shot.

Nothing serious, just good ol' random fun.

More silly in-game events and arena conditions would help too!

I think these ideas would help sell the Game Show Vibe.

Maybe even set the menu up like your're channel surfing. 🤣

[grand crow]

Day 6 of asking for a contract nerf revert, give us back our xp and fans

[cinder hedge]

Bring back head2head

[mortal marten]

I have a new idea for a throwing knives change (Please tell me if it makes sense or if its just stupid)

So my idea would be, that instead of throwing the knives when you are close to an enemy (like 1-2 meters) the animation either automatically or manually get changed to a stabbing animation. So you can switch between melee and throwing ONLY when you are in that close quarters range. Damage should be a little less tho so instead of 75 it could be 65 or 70. Please, if you have any ideas or find this idea good/bad - tell me! :>
It just makes more sense physics wise, since nobody can throw knives at such a close range and deal such a huge amount of damage (ik its a virtual game show but it still throws me personally off)

[gaunt grove]

[simple ether]

I uninstalled last season over horrible hit reg issues (shooting a mf for 2 full seconds before damage registers is NOT acceptable) and smurfs/cheaters being out of control combined with horrendous matchmaking caused me and my friends to leave.
I keep checking the discord to see how the game is performing and will occasionally load up the game every so often to see where the game is at and its become clear the game has been abandoned. Its a shame, the core game is fantastic. But these issues make the game unplayable.

I love all the new statistics overview information at the end of a match but it'd be really cool to see all of the "season best" stats displayed on career stats tab as well. It'd be awesome to have access to data from previous seasons and be able to have access to stats that would reveal all time peak performances.

On a side note, I would also heavily appreciate it if when beating a season PR (or any PR) that it would display the new PR ALONGSIDE the old PR so players could know just how much they just beat their old record by.

W game embark

[leaden tangle]

Hi Embark developers, thanks for the last lore drops, I'm too excited to see more of the MC Johnson brothers and Alfa Acta future. Seasonal OST is always powerful and thematically good for a medieval theme.

A big hug and all my love to your lore team Ines Quintanar, Kim Mclaughlin & Sorush Aini. To the masters Ed Hadgrave, Carl Strandberg, Selina Nordin and Olof Strömsqvist; you are the heart of this season.

To the developers in general, a quick suggestion about the game state to improve it:

-Nerf defibrillator to reduce their use in M/M/M compositions, defib needs to revive with a 1/4 of HP in every class, so will need to be more situational and defibrillator spammers can not go back to a fight easily.

-Permanent solo mode in TDM, for those solo players who wanna have a quick match with one round, like Steal The Spotlight event.

-Thermal vision as a specialization, smoke spammers can still do that dirty strategy in a balanced form and will be useful and fair against invisible enemies.

From a Mexican player with love💜

[muted owl]

fix your cancer spawns it has never bene this bad, legit 2 teams spawning near the same vualt making it happen that we constantly get 3th partied and when we spawn we spawn so far away from the vualt we dont even have time to contest it. Idk what kidna of potatto code you guys used but is a serious issue thats needed to be looked into cuz i feel like i permantly get 3th partied and when we respawn we spawn 200m away from a and like 120m away from b so it gives 0 chance to even try and win.

Wtf was the point of changing the communication wheel orientation? No edit option....

can we get a Free For All game mode? Can we also have a feature where people can 8-stack for point break? Finally, can we get the ability to play all limited time modes in private matches?

[wispy grove]

Hello, help me contact someone from The Finals development team, I was banned from the game, but I didn't use anything, describing everything in detail and providing evidence, I get template answers, this is not answered by a living person who could check everything carefully, please, we need help, the anti-cheat may make a mistake and we want to thoroughly check our account or at least find out the exact reasons for the blocking, we are hurt by the injustice and the situation, please give us a contact of a person who could help, we are not asking for a verbal breakdown, we are ready to fully explain the whole situation that happened, I have over 1000 hours in the game, a lot I've invested a lot of time and money, I wouldn't risk my account.

[cerulean cradle]

healing too op if you play duo you got an ai bot nerf heavy medium buff light

[round isle]

Separate players from contestants and kits. Separate kits from contestants. Expand “player cards” to “cards” which can be collected and traded and browsed instead of just simply a killcam card. “Follow” a contestant to copy their likeness as a “playstyle”. Immortalize contestants through copycats, gauging their ongoing popularity similar to what you are doing with sponsors.

[high coyote]

tired of third parties, increase plug bonus. it is no fun to win a point and then get swept by a team to afraid to win on their own.

[shut wraith]

Can we add a special custom melee to throwing knives? It doesn’t necessarily need to do extra damage or anything but it would be cool to stab people with the knives that you are already holding instead of elbowing them.

[gaunt cliff]

Can we bring back head2head, I'm genuinely losing my mind on all these other games, I love head2head and got the gamepass just to realise the only game I really play is gone. For the love of all that is video games, bring it back as a public game. I do not own 6 friends 😭😂

[tender veldt]

all i ask is that the cerberus gets a tiny buff mainly to the fire effect / range, it works well enough as is but it frequently seems to barely ignite the target with a really short burn time. i get damage thresholds and that so its usable but it just doesn't quite feel like its at the level it should be for the role it fills as medium's close range focused weapon. it just needs a tiny push to get it where it feels consistent in fire effects

[digital timber]

is the game not letting people send friend requests right now? I keep trying and it just keeps failing to send requests, saying "make sure the id is right" but I'm hitting the add button on the side of their profile at the end of game so it can't be different.

[rancid pine]

Great, this game crashed my entire pc at the last round of ranked, i rejoin as quickly as possible and perform well. still lose 700 rs and get suspended for 10 minutes....

[dusty igloo]

Delete moving platforms ENTIRELY. Its actually awfully designed. We got awful tempo, awful spots to push. Awful everything. There has not been a single worse thing in the entire history of this game, not nukes, not pre nerf invis stun, not triple medium defibs pre nerf. Nothing has ever come close to the absolute level of incompetence on a fundamental level of design, as the moving platforms.
Remove them ENTIRELY. I dont want this awful thing, on any maps, or any modes, and I doubt there are many that disagree with me.
The entirety of the game is better off with them removed. I beg Embark, all they give is awful cashout locations, and awful fights.
DELETE MOVING PLATFORMS

[dark niche]

let me guess..you also think dual blades are overpowered?

[mortal owl]

7th time asking for more loadout slots rather than outfit slots

[arctic tree]

gonna be totally honest, i love the moving platforms when they come up. If they were on every map all the time then sure, get rid of them. but they're not. it changes things up a bit and keeps things semi-fresh. And with a winch its very easy to remove the cashout from the plat if you hate it so much. they might need a rework with their paths or something, but I don't think they come anywhere close to needing a removal.

[smoky gust]

some more variety could be neat, and eliminate some frustrations of constantly having to chase them

moving platforms that make a building sized donuts shape with cover could be cool
or just a single line of platforms going back and forth, rather than go in circles
maybe a big ferries wheel next to one of the high buildings like on seoul or fortune stadium

[cunning vortex]

WHY TF this no-brain devs keeps buffing stpid gameplay.... All flames, explotions, mines, detectos, turrets, SUPER AOE CL40, RPG... Why are you so fkng d*mb to still keep promoting AFK and no-skills gameplay???¿?¿ WTF are they thinking¿??¿ This game has a great base to be a super fast, super skill based game, but they keep nerfing.... sdjhfsdvb fhsb, im tired of writing to the void... They will keep making a dumb game for ppl with no skills...

[nimble mural]

I'm having a blast. I love the shockwave. Especially because it's a great counter to melee and flamethrower.

[lapis saddle]

When will we be able to watch rediffs ?

[cyan quiver]

Yes remove moving plats. or at least drop them from ranked.

[floral venture]

For some reason soul final round always feels like it has moving platforms, and one time both pois were on a platform

[peak lance]

Hi

[sterile canopy]

None of this is particularly viable stuff, except for RPG, yeah I don't know why RPG is made so powerful

CL40 had an AOE nerf, flamethrower hasn't been buffed, mines have only been nerfed, and turrets are the single most counterable thing in the game, there's like 8 different loadout options that just nullify them and only one person on your team needs to have one

[edgy sphinx]

The matchmaking in this game is absolutely terrible, some of the worst matchmaking I have ever seen

[safe bison]

Does anyone know how to get in contact with an official from embark?

[honest verge]

Increase the World Tour points rewarded for Point Break matches.

I feel like I will never get Emerald while mainly playing Point Break.

[primal sphinx]

switch ranked to final round only because the third parties are getting stupid, pros/streamers don't have anyone come after them because the players are scared causing the other teams to have to deal with third parties making it where even if you have the same skill or more than the streamer you end up in an uphill battle because your not facing one team at a time but the whole lobby at once.

[round epoch]

Hey any developers in here @safe bison needs his account unbanned…He was wrongly banned and was not given an explanation as of why please get back to him ASAP I need my partner

[crystal viper]

I have a suggestion for Point Break:
Right now, there is an unknown time limit which when reached, grants loss for both teams, it would make sense for it to grant a win for defense though, because they did hold the objective, and make the timer visible
Also it would fix the fact everyone gets kicked and the fact there is no scoreboard at the end.
And fix contracts too, because, right now, a point break game that ended because of time doesn't even count towards the "Play 3 games" contracts

Also it's an easy fix, basically needs to replace the kick everyone at xx minutes in gamemode file to end game and grant win to defense.

[plush fjord]

EMBARK I CANT BELIEVE U DIDNT THINK OF THIS BEFORE BRO THIS IS NO1 PRIORITY PLS DO IT EMBARK

||rename the finals to Da Finals ||

[waxen thicket]

Why adding secondary weapons to the Finals would be a bad idea:

1. It would make teamplay redundant, as a good enough player would be able to take down a whole team solo. For example, a V9S+M11 Light could theoretically take down 3 Heavies without reloading once.

2. It would also make it harder to counter individual enemies with different weapon types. For example, a ShAK+M60 Heavy would not only be deadly at short range, but also dish out a lot of damage from far away.

3. Matches would become too chaotic with everyone having too many options in their hands, making game plans near impossible to implement.

4. Hero shooters don't usually feature heroes with different weapons as they have specific roles, and Finals defines itself as a "hero builder".

Why this game NEEDS a 2nd weapon slot for all contestants, still:

1. It would make niche but powerful weapons actually viable, as weapons like Sniper Rifle and Hammer can be deadly in the right hands but are too easy to counter. For example, Spy in TF2 uses dagger mainly, but also has a pistol for when backstabs are impossible.

2. Players coming from Apex or CoD would face less frustrations because of teammates, as they could still win an unwinnable teamfight with the 2nd weapon.

3. Finals is a "Dynamism shooter", meaning fights can become uncontrollable at any time. A 2nd weapon would ensure those fights could still be salvageable with the right play, with improved individual flexibility and adaptability.

4. Many hero shooters still feature heroes with different weapons, most famous example being Widowmaker with her sniper rifle also acting as a close-range smg with hipfire. Blade and Deadpool from Marvel Rivals mainly use swords, but also have pistols they can swap to for ranged fights.

Therefore, 2nd weapon slots is necessary for the game. However, following constraints must be added:

• 1 minute cooldown on weapon swap, 30 seconds for melee weapons

• Takes up 2 equipment slots, so only 2 remains

[visual trout]

can the devs improve the matchmaking? sick and tired of fighting people 20 tiers above my skill level 100% of the time

[wide creek]

So sick of you Embark.

Meta still the same, gave us a spec no one asked for, and is literally a MOVEMENT SPEC ON MEDIUM FOR SOME REASON.

Only good use of the spec is to stop cashout last minute, great wow that's not gonna make anyone mad, only way to stop it is dome (I think) so just really pushing dome meta more.

Lights are still the worst competitive class in the game. You have all this data that says light is highly played because its a FUN class to play in casual, and dash is the automatic pick for most people. You've further killed light's high end competitiveness by nerfing dash.

No one runs AKM or FAMAS because FCAR is too strong.

Heavies are still broken, and I'd honestly look past the SHAK, mesh, RPG, and heal ball if you REMOVED THE FUCKING WINCH.

Stop adding things no one asked for then begging us to pay 20 dollars for a single fucking skin.

Balance the damn game

YOURE ALL HEAVY MAIN FUCKERS

Nah fuck this, WHY DOES HEAVY GET LITERALLY INSANE WEAPONS, SHIELDS, HEALING, AND INSTA WIN BUTTONS LIKE WINCH AND RPG. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING???

[solar sail]

You should make the ultimate battle pass purchaseble for all seasons it was previously available on, i asked a friend if he had it for this season his words were
"no, I'll buy it though, can I get it for previous seasons"

If embark want money, embark should allow people to give them money, FOMO mechanics sew a culture that requires users to constantly 'keep up' or miss items. This means a smaller sub group of highly dedicated players get all or most the items while newer players don't get the previous ones. Why is it this way?

None FOMO monetization means any player can get into the game and invest at any point.

Leave bonus pages for exclusive items, allow more players to jump into the cosmetics and earn money in the process.

Sounds like profit for embark studios?

Considering retro battle pass system was already incorporated into the game for players who missed previous BP, what difference does the ultimate make?

If you want the ultimate to retain some exclusive rarity or value, still offer it for older seasons but at a higher price, this would entice players to purchase it on the active season for the cheaper price, but also still provide access for those who missed it and still want to earn it who maybe pay extra.

You meet both audience, and you make money

[hollow sigil]

Hey guys, I wanted to report a problem with my game. I've played for over 20 hours and today when I woke up to play I got the error TFLA0020 or something like that.

I've tried everything: restarting the console, changing my internet provider, and even calling support. So I came here to see if anyone could help.

[dry flame]

Hey devs,
Season 10 is out and I’ve tested the gadgets, weapons and new content — overall pretty happy! Really glad the medium class is finally getting some attention, felt like only heavy and light were being considered for improvements. Big thanks for that.
But a couple of things bummed me out:
Locking the new map to one game mode is rough, especially when that mode isn’t one I play much — I mostly stick to ranked for the season tokens. So I barely get to see it.
The map looks nice but… a medieval castle as decoration only? That hurt. Fighting in and around an actual castle would’ve been amazing. Also the overall map design feels a bit inconsistent with the theme.
Would’ve loved to see it split into zones — castle, village, etc. — each with its own vibe, and those zones reused in casual modes. Such a missed opportunity.
Keep it up though, Season 10 has real highlights! 🙏

[gilded sparrow]

gaining points in ranked takes longer than losing them idk how to fix but its the main demotivator for many

[woven rose]

not sure what y'all did with the server backend but a few wonky things have been happening:

• we all dc'd and when we came back we were all relegated to default loadout? very strange
• i just dc'd from a powershift match and was unable to reconnect. the game showed my friend "in a party of 2" (i was the 2nd), but i could not reconnect and the game had no knowledge of the game. weird!

[maiden jolt]

when the current score is 1-0-0, with pink on one and orange on zero (but with the current cashout). If pink steals scotty says "cashout stolen in the last moments of this match" but shouldn't as it wasnt even halftime yet so that just doesnt make sense to say right now, it should be something entirely different about like "ending this match early yada yada something something"

solo unplayable, no hidden mmr, personal performance doesnt matter, u have to carry ur team in ur backpack every match and u still will lose. matchmaking is a coin flip where u get either a bunch of smurfs or just straight rubies as enemies when ur teammates installed the game last week.

and all this in a ranked system which punishes u severely for losing

in a system where u dont get an even amount of rs lost or gained for winning a round. u have to win possibly 2 rounds before u get any rs and if u drop 8th, u lose the amount u MAY get for winning a whole tournament

there is no point in playing this game to win

[waxen thicket]

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. If individual players had more power to turn fight around themselves, it would reduce the frustrations. Here are some fixes for that:

1. Give all guns bullet drop and projectile behavior at max range. Currently only SR84 and KS23 has this.

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 bring a 2nd 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. Relegate sprint key to walk instead.

5. Add knockback on 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. Reduce recoil on walk and crouch state.

7. Add 1.1x 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 meta with more skill expression. These changes will make the game simpler and more intuitive, while also increasing individual player power to reduce team dependency. In short, game becomes better for both new and returning players.

[simple ether]

None of that addresses the issues of why they are losing players.
The biggest issues are matchmaking, server performance and smurfing/cheating and balancing (or lack thereof). These are the most consistent complaints from the player base.

Season 6,7 and 8 saw steady growth (albeit on the lower end. But still growth). Season 9 they started losing players like crazy while gaining no new players. Primarily due to matchmaking, cheating/smurfing and balancing issues.

Day 83 of asking Embark to add native HDR support to the finals.

[smoky gust]

i really hope we get to pick what maps to play some day

it takes so long to get your favorite map, which only gets worse as more are added
and when you do get your map, that doesnt mean it will be a decent match with all that can go wrong

maybe an option would be to have a permanent mode like the current starlight hollow debut
being 1 map with 1 gamemode
or 1 map that randomly deciding between all modes for that map each time
and the map could swap on a daily basis

might also entice more players to check in daily to see what map is available

Can we please revert sword now? It’s insane how long we’ve had to deal with a rotational clamp that heavily decentivizes using the fun part of the sword kit (the lunge). Not only that, but buffing the slash attack did next to nothing to help sword in better lobbies but made it infuriating in lower lobbies.

Lunge changes:
Remove rotational clamp
Remove multihit
Buff damage to 140

Slash change:
Nerf damage to 74

These lunge changes are primarily to make sword more viable at higher skill levels, as the removal of the clamp and damage buff to the lunge actually make lunges useful as a dodging and damaging tool in combat, which is essential for survivability, especially against players that would easily shoot you down without it. The multihit removal serves as a counterbalance to the clamp removal, so spinning around won’t let you hit full teams at once.

The slash damage nerf serves 2 purposes: first is that it counteracts the lunge damage buff and keeps the breakpoints reasonable. Second is that it is a nerf to the weapon at lower levels, so you want just spam slashes and kill people who have trouble aiming at you. Even after this nerf, the slash still has a use case at higher levels since now it is the only way to multihit groups of enemies.

As I said at the start, this is basically just a reversion to old sword before lunge got multihit. Imo the weapon won’t be a meta weapon, but it will at least have some usefulness.

[uncut hedge]

[jolly eagle]

2 questions for dev's.

1. Will u ever considered remove winches from the game? It's just insane at these point, on high ranked (plat, diamond) every single H using it...
   Like me personally using shield's constantly and it's way worse ability than winches. And at these point it's just getting toxic..

2. My microphone isn't working in game (already tried all official variants for fixing the problem). Any suggestions?

I play mostly point break alone. I have maybe 180 hours.

Majority of lobbys have huge sweats. I want to relax or at least not feeling I'm playing against pros. Plus it usually one sided, we either better by far or worse by far.

This game can be so fun but most of the time I'm queing up i hope it's gonna be fun. Feels like gambling. I don't know if it's the matchmaking (skillbased),only sweats or it is made on purpose so that I play more than i would have otherwise and because of that i am more likely to be tired in every aspect (decision making, emotionally etc...) and spend in the shops trying to get the fun I wanted.

REMOVE WINCH FROM THE GAME YOU BRAINDEDS

[paper meadow]

Been using the riot shield a lot this season and that change to how the shield itself appears on screen from a while back is great for the visual clarity of your blocking zone when strafing at enemies as well as where your baton hits. Good work Embark

But unfortunately in the same vane there’s still some issues with visual clarity elsewhere. Mainly with dying to attacks (or getting hooked by winches) that appear to be well behind cover. This I’m sure requires some complicated server work to ensure hits are consistent between dealer and recipient, HOWEVER there’s a pretty easy band-aid to this problem. In fact that solution is already in most modes, the replay system! Please just add it to Point Break and TDM lol. They’re the modes with the fastest kill pace and therefore the greatest chance of something odd happening, being able to see what your attacker sees would de-mystify a lot of situations, as it has in the other modes.

Also unrelated but show token gain is still mad inconsistent multiple seasons post their implementation, literally just base it on match length with a minimum of 1 token per match please. I have been specifically avoiding cashout because it’s such a time sink for so little payout xp and token wise. I have a job and if I want to finish the pass and get my money’s worth I have to stick to quicker modes (i.e. TDM Power Shift, not Quick Cash because it sucks.) I’m even hesitant to play Point Break because sometimes it runs really long and yeah again not a lotta payout.

Also @mortal owl is right there should be more loadout slots. Especially with a new spec in the game now. Not just 1 more but like, 4 or 5 lol.

I've been working with/against the new grenade style that has the flashing light, I gotta say I liked things better when there was no red flashing light on them. I appreciated when you really had to heighten ALL of your senses to stay alive.

I've also been thinking for a while about UI elements. I'd really like to see an option to toggle some of them independantly, such as scoreboard, team names/healthbars on the lower left and equipment.

Also would like a way to be able to remove emotes/gestures from the wheel to clean things up as needed

I ask for the sake of immersion, as I feel when watching gameplay back, the screen can be a bit cluttered at times and be confusing for general non-gamer viewers.

Loving the rest of the season so far though, keep up the amazing work!~

[quick coyote]

Yup H2H was the only fair and balanced cashout mode that didn’t have constant third partying and griefing (ya know, the rng parts that no one likes). I get that not a lot of people played it because it wasn’t non-stop action tickling their dopamine but you can literally play any other casual mode if you want that. H2H was 80%-90% of Cashout with just the good parts and the bad parts taken out. I haven’t logged in since it’s been gone. Just hoping it comes back or I’m moving on. It was also the best mode for new players to learn the game without being overwhelmed.

@unreal fossil you do realize that Cashout is 80% just one team fighting one other team (and literally the last round of the tournament is only 3v3) just like H2H was? And the 20% that’s not 3v3, is the parts that frustrates everyone in the form of third partying and griefing because it doesn’t have as much to do with skill as luck. I’m not saying get rid of Cashout, you can have it, I’m saying in getting rid of H2H we lost the only pure and balanced experience of the finals. Also not everyone wants to sign up for a 40 min tournament and have a 1 in 8 chance of winning just to play Cashout. And Quick Cash ain’t it. It’s a third party simulator with non-stop fighting and plays nothing like Cashout. It’s basically TDM that happens to meet a cashout. And it was also the best mode for new players to learn the game and understand what makes the Finals special without getting overwhelmed or frustrated and quitting. Ya know, it’s not like the biggest issue facing the Finals right now is not being able to get/retain new players so we can balance matchmaking or anything. In fact, I’d even take a (bad) compromise and have a mode that was just one round of 4 teams with 2 going to a final round. This would make matchmaking more fair as opposed to trying find 8 teams of similar skill, which the game really can’t do at the moment. Tbh I don’t know why they don’t implement this with the player base being so small.

[unreal fossil]

It would be hilarious for half an hour at best, until everyone figures what's the most broken build. Then you'd just see 2/3rd of the players running said broken build which would be pretty boring.

@quick coyote "The RNG part that no one likes", well speak for yourself. Having 3-4 teams fighting each other is part of what makes the game less repetitive and more intense. I hate a third party as much as the next guy, but I don't think I would be as interested if a tournament was just 3 consecutive rounds of H2H.

I haven't played that mode much but I do understand why people liked it. I have no doubt that it will return.

[mental pewter]

Is it just or do I think that Embark should add a light gadget or medium gadget that works like the spider bomb from CoD Infinite warfare

Here's how it would work

A medium or light (depending on what Embark adds it to) would throw the spider near an opponent and it would run and jump and attach to their face to cover their face slightly but still let them be able to somewhat see. The spider can be destroyed if shot multiple times (depending on the type of gun and damage). And it would do little shocks that make them un ADS and make them shoot making them have bullet spread (The shock should only last 0.8 secs).

Ps: the shock doesn't do damage and doesn't disable your specs or gadgets

[potent wraith]

lag and the yellow/red indicator in a whole match for no reason -> lose because of it -> no RS adjustment. cool

[raven garnet]

out of the 100+ matches of pointbreak i have yet to come across a good game. a close game. or a fun game. every single match is either completely shit on them or get shit on. no in-between. for the love of god get some sort of MM

[marble saddle]

there is skill based mmr, if you fight a 5 stack that has a super high win rate, you can bet they will probably have 3 practically brand new players on their team (ive played probably 300 games of pb).

[summer yoke]

season 8 and 9 sucked and i quit after 1k+ hours . jumped back on today and the changes feel good. A lot of the weapons feel viable across classes, chimera and shockwave are fun asf, new map rips, and this battlepass is easily the coolest one.

[warm epoch]

embark why do you hate the finals? I've never seen a studio so hell bent on killing their game

[charred rover]

After revisiting fcar this season I realized something.

Weapon timing adjustments aren't synced to their animations.

What this means is that I'll inadvertently cancel reloads on weapons that had reload nerfs because they don't intuitively match their animations/sounds anymore.

On the opposite hand, I'll inadvertently realize I had reloaded when I thought I canceled the reload on weapons that did not have their reload speeds nerfed.

It would be nice if the devs went over all of the adjusted weapons and ensure their animations, and audio queues, match their current values.

[acoustic wadi]

fix winch please

[rapid valley]

You ran the academy for new players, but then there's no matchmaking in casual. Is that how you want to attract new players? We've been asking for months for a solution, and here we are, a new season with the same problems and the same players.

[thorny lynx]

Welp. Embark you finally did it. Season 10 is your worst season ever. I think back on the 2900 wasted hours playing a game that has proven over and over they dont care about their player base.
Worst matchmaking by far (while you constantly say you have fixed or are working on it)
Worst server issues. Suffering from bugs Embark knows about but "cant figure out"... I would think a "cant shoot bug" would be a bigger deal in an FPS, not take 9 seasons to finally address.
A cheating EPIDEMIC that worms its way through Finals and Arc without Embark lifting a finger to do anything.
Ya'll should just stick to baking pastries and drinking cause game devs are not it

[faint kernel]

Hello. Sadness fills me as a send this message. It’s been almost a week of no h2h and I’m sad. Spending 20£ on ultimate battle pass hasn’t even cheered me up (I lie it has I love the bp tis season) however I need my glorious head to head. It’s so good and actually uses skill.

In quick cash I worry.

• my light teammate leaves after I don’t stay near them. Even tho they ran off while I’m on heavy.

• a light with a big long sword. Or a double barrel comes up behind me 😬

I die…

In head 2 head this problem is mitigated by the need to play skillful and team centred classes.

Please please please bring back head to head. We would be sooooo happy

Another little thing. Why so much fog and starlight hollow. I’m blind on it.

[young hatch]

Ranked feedback.

Make it so RS isn’t lost when there is only 2 players.

Back to back games, I was in a team of 2.

One game, team mate had join icon the whole game and did not join into our lobby.

Next game, team mate AFK from start and then was kicked.

Each time lost RS. In other games with ranked modes you don’t lose RS…

[foggy lava]

Would be great to add an option to take off the effect on weapon skins and cosmetics. They can be very distracting. And make you more noticeable to other players.

[dry kiln]

The recent overhaul of the SH1900 fundamentally misaligns its identity, transforming a dedicated close-quarters powerhouse into an anomalous hybrid that disrupts core combat dynamics. While the weapon originally demanded aggressive positioning and precise timing, the new modifications grant dash-capable operators excessive range, effectively turning a short-range tool into a "mini spread-shot sniper" that invalidates traditional close-quarters tactics. This shift forces players to abandon the high-risk engagement loop the gun was designed for, creating a jarring disconnect where the weapon no longer rewards proximity but instead trivializes movement-based counterplay. Restoring the original, tighter parameters is essential to reclaim the SH1900's intended niche and repair the broken balance of close-range combat.

[spare topaz]

Anyone experiencing the bug that shows like 10 people online when they really aren't?

[lunar reef]

the matchmaking for solo queue quickplay modes is so unrewarding. Reminds me of call of duty where if you had a good match you know the next ones gonna be unwinnable one where everyone on the enemy teams are near your skill but your teammates for some reason are brand new players.. happens far too often. I just play one game a day and do well and hop off.

[spare pagoda]

Why does the game no longer let you see the players list after leaving a match?, the whole enemy team was spawn camping in Power Shift, every time we spawned, they were already waiting for us, later they decided for one of them to hop on the platform while the other 4 went to wait at every single spawn as the platform moves, straight up disgusting, and I couldn't report them

[echo zephyr]

I think that the throwing knives need a huge nerf. There is literally no drawback to them, they have an infinite amount of ammo, and with that the cooldown between the shots is very quick. The damage also needs a nerf, when I encounter someone using throwing knifes, they usually get so much damage on me just because they landed two shots. The weapon is too rewarding for the shots you land. I’m not an expert on balancing, but I think it needs to have bigger intervals between shots. I think that even if they removed a knife from the base attack, that would be a valid nerf. I just hate getting instantly killed by some dude who’s missing half of their shots, it’s annoying.

[rotund linden]

I’ve been getting kicked out of matches mid loading on xbox and I’ve been losing ranked points even after winning 1st place for “inactivity” when the game literally glitches. This has happened to me over 3 times and I keep losing elo because of it

Nerf winch, if you are going to use the justification of something being annoying to nerf dash, you can do the same to winch. while winch also has the win rate to show it for seasons upon seasons

[craggy nova]

The idea of pocket healing is stupid. if something like that needs to happen in the game, then players must loose some important gadgets or specialization to do pocket healing.

any toughts on letting us scale and disable individual hud elements? maybe even reposition(considering the amount of crosshair customization there is this seems fair)
feels long overdue because i cant be the only person thinking the hud is huge especially on larger screens

also the keybind hints I NEED THESE OFF MY SCREEN

[wide creek]

Remove Winch.

And why in gods name did you give heavy heal ball, its not a healing item, its an extra 100 health when sitting in a corner, which is something heavies ALREADY DO. OR its just an entrenchment tool making it impossible to kill a peaking heavy, cuz it totally negates the whole point of heavies having a slow regen period. Seriously what happened to teamplay? Theres no need for mediums to support a camping heavy anymore.

Might as well let lights use infuser on themselves. See how insane that sounds?

[gritty jetty]

i really like that the primary use of winch is to be a "fuck you i win" button that stops the enemy from shooting instead of just pulling the enemy closer, please give heavy more instant win specs in season 11, i speak for everyone when i say this

Even arc raiders is fucking terrible. What are you devs even good for??

[hardy hull]

cool game. oce servers are dead though. asia servers are a good substitute and i havent noticed any lag from swapping to it.
dual swords seem a bit too op. light class being able to 2 shot a heavy with their shotgun is broken asf too

I'm not a fan of the matchmaking either, i dont think any casual gamemodes should have SBMM, it should just pair you with whoever is queuing at the time regardless of skill

[twin helm]

nerf tf out of the OP dash and SH1900 lights ruin this game and take 0 skill holy crutch also get rid of rpg you can remove thermal vision for being too game braking but not rpg wtf and winch claw also omg this game sucks so much

[livid spruce]

Demat is infuriating to use with a 20 seconds cooldown. Max 13 or 15 would be best of both worlds if you don't want to revert it the way it was. 20 seconds cooldown just means the spec is usable once per combat and never again until the next encounter. I don't understand how a spec needs so much cooldown when its not a prep spec like turret is.

You added new stuff for casual players, but what you should do is FIX THE EXISTING GAME before adding new things. Cause otherwise, new players are gonna join, have tons of issues and then drop the game forever. WERE IN FUGGING SEASON 10 AND YOU CANT FIX ISSUES PEOPLE ARE HAVING SINCE SEASON 1???

I use the cl-40 and only useing that got to diamond with it the wepon lacks any ttk on other M classes

( keep in mind the only wepon the cl-40 will have a better ttk is when fighting a pike when in a MVM match up)

But if u want to reward more direct shots increase the velocity of the shots and maybe make the cycle animation faster i am fine with less splash damage but plz then make it more in line with what u have said

Dev Note: The CL-40’s effectiveness is not great compared to many other Medium weapons. We know facing the CL is frustrating for some players, so we want to be careful with how much we buff it, but these changes are needed to increase its viability. The aim is to incentivize more direct hits with the CL-40, rather than less accurate splash damage shots.

[crude breach]

If you don't do anything about the servers, I'll delete the game, even though I love it and constantly contribute. But it's become unplayable; hits aren't registering. For example, hits from a rifle have become completely random! The packet loss icon keeps flashing! Meanwhile, everything is fine in other games. It's clearly your servers that are to blame. While this was bearable before, it's now unbearable. There are already few people in the game; do you want it to become even smaller because of hit registration? Please take action.

[proud pawn]

Finals is a truly amazing game, with lots of destruction, lots of classes and guns, but my opinion of the game has gotten much worse since Season 10. This is especially true because the developers simply removed the best mode in the game, head2head, without any notice. There was no SBMM and rounds were incredibly fast. Without this mode, the game is unplayable. My teammates and I switched to tournament play, but unfortunately, the matchmaking there is terrible and there are tons of cheaters and smurfs who don't hesitate to kill everyone at level 11 and install MPV. So, Embark, if you really care about the game, do something about the matchmaking and bring back the much-desired head2head mode!

Much love to all.

Please debuff the Double-Barreled Shotgun, increase its spread, and decrease its damage so it doesn't kill a Heavy in two shots (although even that's a bad debuff for it, as it needs a rework). Let's compare two guns with similar focus, dealing a lot of damage at close range: a dagger and a Double-Barreled Shotgun. The Double-Barreled Shotgun has a longer attack range and doesn't have a special condition (like a back hit) for inflicting massive damage. The existence of such a weapon is unfair to players with daggers. Debuffing this weapon is pointless; it will either be useless or unfair. Therefore, I propose reworking it into a gadget with a massive knockback effect, so it can be used for movement, like the Medium's current Shockwave.

I know the game is slowly dying in terms of longevity, but please add a solo queue to ranked mode

[unreal fossil]

The Winch should be slower to use, and the stun effect should be removed entirely. The ability to hit targets behind dome/mesh could return to make up for it.

This would essentially stop the Winch from being a noob crutch that grants Heavies undeserved kills, even when they initially got outplayed/outdamaged. But it would still achieve the same effects when used by a good team.

The spec has been meta for several seasons and it's hurting the game as a whole IMHO, way more than the Stun Gun ever did for similar reasons.

And to those who always have the perfect theoretical answer to everything, no, staying 12+ meters away from every Heavy is NOT an acceptable solution to the problem, because well, there are hundreds of reasons why you can't always do that.

[real crow]

servers have started to become an issue for me. its really bad, high stuttering and high packet loss. my wifi hovers at around 900mpbs and ive lowered every setting possible and turned off replays. I actually cant play the game this season as much as I may want to. idk if theres anything more on my end I can do

[waxen thicket]

lol stay 12 metres away from Heavy or play alongside your team, better learn teamwork instead of wasting time on the Discord server.

Winch is nowhere near as oppressive as it used to be, now it's only good for picking off overconfident stragglers and moving the cashout.

A game mode with a medal system like CoD/Halo/Destiny where higher value medals give more cash VS normal kills could be a very good addition. It encourages the sort of gameshow-esque plays that fits the setting of the Finals

[hearty hatch]

First time I've actually begun to feel like this game ISN'T fun.

I love competitive play and I grind the ladder all the time, but matchmaking is still the SAME product for the past 5 seasons. Getting paired up with players WAY outside my level and the solo queue experience is just the absolute worst. Losing 700+ RS to people who are consistently in the Top 500 higher just makes no sense to me. I'd rather wait 5 mins for queue with people my level than 2 mins and automatically lose RS due to huge skill gaps. Especially for my rank. Ranked comms should also be recommended constantly on loading screens or something. People going in deaf is just bonkers to me. No one uses the new fancy pings either.

Also I'm curious how you're going to change melee, because they need something. The melee options have waited long enough. S11 couldn't come sooner. Very disappointed in this Season. Almost as much as Season 9.

I love the medieval theme for S10, but it doesn't feel much different outside of that.

Put the server location onto the screen, when I search NA or Auto, please place the location of the server just next to the stupid ass server code that you guys dont bother doing any fixes for, please add something there that i can know if i search auto that im not automatically placed in some brazil or asian server, the amount of bs ass moments with damage and registration happening right now is extremely pathetic.

optimize older modes, why is the new arena the BEST performing map/mode of ALL the modes, it makes no sense. PLease optimize the REST of the fucking game.

the game gives me
Error code: TFAV8011
after season 10 update

[torpid temple]

please explain how my teamate got the same exact placements as me in ranked and i got gold 3 to start and he got bronze 1 MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE

[true void]

add an M4A1 for L or H
add map voting/vetoing
ranked SR is too punishing and does not always align with the new "goal" objective. If you place at your seed, you should not be losing any SR
add ability to change main menu background to any prior season's

[river plaza]

You can search the code for the issue on google

[feral hare]

Bring back head to head

[south mauve]

Bro there is no way that some dude gets 2 clips in the latest community highlights video and I still haven’t gotten in one with my clip of me solo team wiping with the breach drill 😭😭

[paper jackal]

Are they ever binging Thermal vision back?

[paper meadow]

A lot of gestures, emoticons, sounds, etc don’t seem to work (or are missing use animations) while using the riot shield. I’ll do some proper testing on this tomorrow but if I remember correctly this has been an issue for riot as well as dual blades in some cases at least as long as I’ve been playing.

Not sure how this hasn’t ever been noted, or at least I’ve never seen it noted. Odd one, I’ll post again tomorrow with better data. But you know, fix this or add right handed animations probably.

[vestal prairie]

Every ranked game is a kingmaker situation

[last quest]

They're reworking it into something else, similar to how Stun Gun was turned into Nullifier.

[narrow slate]

Thermal was goated I miss it so much

[hazy shore]

put an opacity slider for objectives, player health bars (allies, enemies or both), player names, dead skull icons, etc. I would like to see the enemy that is on the cashout or my allies body

[cobalt pendant]

I’d like to express how much I love winning the round in ranked only to be greeted by an endless red screen, displaying the lovely Finals logo with the text below, “CONNECTING”

I can just stare at it for hours. Literally….

[frigid citrus]

FIX THE OVERSIZED GOO COLLISION

[abstract geyser]

why do you lose RS for losing against players 8 skill tiers above your rank?

[toxic forge]

embark, this is a very small issue and is probably easy to fix but PLEASE DO IT... why is the leaderboard not organised?!?!?!? shouldn't the person with the highest score be at the top and lowest at the bottom? also, going off that, is the order of players show in the intro and outro done? is it players with highest score or what? but please, JUST FIX THE LEADERBOARD EMBARK THATS MY ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE FINALS!!!!!

[edgy sphinx]

Yo why am I getting placed with teammates that are 50 levels below me and enemies 100 levels above me, please embark fix matchmaking it currently makes the game very unfun to play

[vocal bloom]

these servers are genuinely abysmal i can barely play the game, half the time i literally cant even move while my team is halfway across the map

[daring ingot]

DAY 11 of asking for Head2Head to be added back

[marble harness]

Search bar in inventory while creating an outfit would be super cool!

[pastel spruce]

Matchmaking is atrocious in cashout

[pale walrus]

there is abolsutely zero dopamine hit for the ranked RS points. At the end of the game screen we can only see our change in score +/- for a couple seconds, and almost every game i go through the screen on accident too quickly and i miss it. I think you guys need to have a whole screen dedicated to the change in RS, like a progress bar really big on the screen going up or down. Would also be nice to see the rank progression be displayed somewhere on the main menu so i can see my ups and down

[woeful arch]

agreed

[native plinth]

so much for fixed matchmaking guys, I just queued up with a duo with a guy at 10k, I was 22k 😭

[dry kiln]

Starlight hollow for TDM is really bad. The spawns are way too far out by the time you get to your team your teammates are mostly dead. need a filter for the exclude levels like this out that are meant only for point break or just bad design that way don't have to back out to take a lose. Also for the luv of god if your entering a match late it should count as a loss if your team doesn't win.

[chrome crescent]

Necesitan arreglar con urgencia el problema de desconexion en plena partida !!! Es muy frustrante.
Necesitan tener un lugar donde poder mandar los bugs en video y una communication directa en e-mail o algo para saber que nuestra queja fue realmente tomada enserio. Y si hay un lugar donde se puede mandar vidéos o correo con lo ocurrido, deberia estar en un lugar mas accesible, porque no lo encontre. Por el momento espero tener una respuesta por aqui

[frosty shoal]

[sly schooner]

bring back head 2 head

[tardy thistle]

Easy: Better sound customization. I keep having matches where the crowd and announcers and guns and gadgets make the cashout steal impossible to hear. just cost me a game and has costed many more in the past. I get the idea of the crown noises, and how that makes it more realistic if people were actually watching this bloodsport, but in practice, it drowns out important noise too much. Or just make the cashout louder.

[verbal kayak]

I thought this was fixed? Bronzes queueing with golds, plats in other lobbies with bronzes somehow?? What is going on? thats a 3 stack 2 bronzes queueing with a gold on the bottom...

[normal reef]

From what I know, two people can't party up if there is a 10k rs difference between them (so that the soloq alongside them doesn't lose their shit)

But three people can, and seeing that they're from the same clan, they know what they're doing

[obtuse phoenix]

Excited for that crossbow nerf

[mental blaze]

It'd be cool if you were able to inspect the ADS/sights. It'd make it a lot easier to decide which to use instead of having to go into the range or a game every time.

[slate vessel]

I'm wondering if there's anyone working in customer service—I've been trying to reach them for a week and haven't gotten a reply..

[rotund gust]

add a party playlist with all LTM's + Bank It and Terminal Attack and you get random game when you queue.

[plain frost]

all cosmetics point I know; I love the human gun souns on the akimbo's, I am doubling down for more skins like this 😄

[cloud jewel]

cancelling the reload of the goo gun often causes weapons to only fire once before forcing a reload... very painful

[wide creek]

Im getting really sick of this game being fuck light simulator.

Listen, I may not have impeccable aim, hitting maybe 75-80% of shots in the heat of combat, but lights do NOT have enough TTK advantage.

Now maybe its because I run V9S, and even after the buff it's still not an amazing weapon, BUT the average TTK LvM is probably 1.2 seconds for standard guns (excluding knives, Bow, etc.), LvH is around 1.6. MvL TTK is around 0.8, and HvL is LOWER (for some reason) at around 0.65.

Human reaction time sits around the 0.3 mark, which is juuuuust under the Light-Med TTK difference, which seems fair right? Unlike the medium, the light has to constantly move, making actual TTK higher. Now Mediums aren't horrible, but high level players hit way more shots and mean that 1v1s almost always end badly. Seriously, even with surprise attacks I'll lose 60% of the time to an FCAR.

But HEAVIES

Why on EARTH does the class with 350 health, a 110 dmg RPG, WINCH CLAW, shields and a personal healing device have a LOWER TTK on lights than mediums? Its not like they aim any slower, its not like their weapons are less accurate. And with a medium teammate, their mobility is not terrible, they're really only marginally slower than lights honestly.

People will say that its because they have a bigger hitbox, which is true. What people DONT think about is that this game gives you very convenient outlines and health bars over players. Any good player will see the class of their opponent, and shoot accordingly, even if they can't see the person. 9/10 times they will hit them. Plus on top of that there's so much healing in this damn game that you can't poke heavies, they just heal before you go at them again.

And just for those people who will say I just need to use gadgets, the only gadget that is directly useful, glitch, only takes away THEIR gadget advantage, they still have 1/3 my TTK. Heavies need to be reworked, nerf RPG, remove Winch, etc. Too strong.

BTW, this is diamond/plat lobbies

[modern ether]

i love having two brand new people to the game playing ranked and we are going agianst two teams with ruby players. I dont know why you constantly cater to ruby players to make sure they get the best experience instead of new players

.*You give them smaller q times
.you put them against people with far lower ranks so they always have easier matches
.And you bring e-sports to this game which has a player base that is a max 24k players (if you're lucky) and is dropping every season
.Finally you allow smurfing and alt accounts to be a thing so they can have even more fun by making everyone else miserable

Im a diamond player and I couldn't care less if q times are longer, this matchmaking is why no one wants to play this shi *
STOP CATERING TO RUBYS WHICH ARE THE SMALLEST PART OF YOUR PLAYERBASE

[undone dagger]

stop matchmaking high skill players with people who just installed in order to balance the teams like its not fun for anyone involved.

[gritty jetty]

there are only 500 ruby players in the world, divide that by region and theres not a lot of choices to put them against

"smaller q times" is a baseless conspiracy
"you put them against people with far lower ranks so they always have easier matches" again, a baseless conspiracy. this in particular just sounds like cope
"bring e-sports into this game" meaningless statement, i actually have 0 idea what this means
"max 24k players" on steam alone, still not a bad number
"dropping every season" it literally isnt, i dont know how far your steam charts are zoomed in but the player count has been remarkably stable since season 3

they are by no means "catering" to ruby players, i suspect this message was motivated by emotion instead of any kind of critical thought

[thorn silo]

Can u explain why I can’t even change the scope during march? I understand limited weapons but why scope???

[hard helm]

Ranked cash out is so badd

[fleet socket]

QoL change

A customization menu like arc raiders please, at least for the hairs. We don't need the same hair to take up 6 slots cause of the different hair colors, this will only get more cluttered as we get more hairs in different colors.

[blissful blaze]

Their needs to be Skill Based Matchmaking. I am constantly being put up against people wya above my skill level and have zero fun playing against diamonds every single match especially with the one game mode where it was manageable. (Head2Head) and this ruins the fun this game Could bring to the table.

[signal basin]

You're pointing everything that I point since a more than a year now.

But I give up. People here are just gonna trash talking you.

Many months ago I propose a lot of change, some of them has been implement but now it's pointless. With the new season, you can clearly see the balance team doesn't give a shit about balance. Everything is around Medium.

Like you say, TTK is only on paper. Light should be more deadly when they can be one or two shot by more than 80% of the M and H weapons.

I'm with you dude !

[cobalt pendant]

💯 I had several ranked games yesterday where the player quit before or right after the match started and they just died. Still think there should be a minimum level to even play ranked.

[frank holly]

we need to get the red lag bug fixed asap man...

amen brother

[normal reef]

Folk I need one more contestant slot ✌️

[short cipher]

Bring back Head2Head!!

[fresh elm]

bruh the dash nerf was no stupid. why nerf it when even lvl 50 ppl can track it💔 also why has light not gotten a new specialization like medium has had 5 in total and heavy has 4 like give light something new PLEEEEEEEEASE

also yall gave medium shockwave... that can be used to dash with like 20m (light dash only being about 7m), push people and gadgets off of cashout AND use it WHILE stealing. hmmm seems VERY BALLANCED

heavy got winch which is just stronger than og stun gun not only in fights but got multiple good uses like pulling the cashbox to better spot or stall a steal. with og stun sure you couldnt move but same with winch if you are light, by the time you get out of the stun of the winch you are dead. with the stun you atleast had a decent chance to win and now all the guns have good hipfire and can kill lights even when stunned unlike when winched

[rancid pine]

giving light a new specialization is pointless, they are still just gonna run dash.

[deep escarp]

I am playing on Linux Cachy OS , sometimes when i launch the game it works fine, sometimes the aim is limited within a range, i have to click middle mouse button to move the aim further, and sometimes the aim is like instantly swapping between multiple viewpoints.
I really hope for native Linux support.

[gaunt cliff]

Can we bring back head2head, I'm genuinely losing my mind on all these other games, I love head2head and got the gamepass just to realise the only game I really play is gone. For the love of all that is video games, bring it back as a public game. I do not own 6 friends 😭😂

[lone imp]

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!

[winter falcon]

Hi embark, this is my dog Sky she recently passed away and I would love if you would at least consider adding her to a game,she would always sit next to me and watch me playing the finals 🙏🕊

[young hatch]

Can Quick Cash as solo queue stop being put against pre made 3 stacks every game, all who are levels 100+++

I cycle through 3 stack after 3 stack. While my team is always solo queue and under level 50.

Getting MVP or top 3 every game against multiple 3 stacks and losing without being about to cash out doesn’t mean I want to continue every game against pre made 3 stacks.

There’s obviously lots of 3 stacks queueing and I’m cycling between many of them, and I’m being chucked various other solo queue players.

SBMM shouldn’t mean only playing pre made 3 stacks every game in a quick cash mode. I had to join other players in a pre made, where I ended up as a 3 stack against only solo queues, and low level solo queues.

[young venture]

bump on this, oceania players are regularly facing the red ping issues seemingly at random

[soft bane]

Can you guys add latency show i really wanna see what my ping is on console i mean every game has this its the big 26 come on.

[proven crown]

**Winch breaks this game I'm sorry. **It's not super overpowered or anything (though stun duration and range is too long) but it's just SO bad for fun.

I think winch should be tied to Heavy melee weapons. The winch and shottie, or Shak combo is just demoralising - especially considering how poorly you've supposedly "Decreased winching through walls/environment"

For now before S11 please for gods sake nerf stun duration (or just remove stun entirely), and decrease range by 1m.

Also, just a reminder YOUR SERVERS/NETCODE ARE A DISGRACE TO THE VISION OF THE GAME

[true karma]

the actual issue is letting premade stacks rule the game in every fucking mode rather than any individual player's skill - a remotely coordinated team will absolutely trounce even the best solo player

[mellow umbra]

guys, the melee guns are too much op. i didn't take fun against that

[echo spire]

you shuld add ranked for powershift

[brisk canyon]

Can frag grenade be more responsive to use? I feel like I'm waiting for a really long time to bring my weapon back out after throwing it. It's hard to describe it, but pulling it out is fine, but then there's this sort of lag time after I throw it that feels really bad

[sterile hedge]

yet again another game where u can get griefed and the teams playing together have no consequence. it is an actual strat where if you lose vault 5, u dont get kills and you get griefed in by the top team. Imagine that. A comp game where you can get GRIEFED IN/OUT just by spawns and helping each other and not have any consequence

[drifting acorn]

im just gonna throw this out there, id give my LIFE for this game to have match chat (talk slurs to enemy teams) or a custom lobby list u can scroll through, like overwatch

[crisp heart]

My feedback for today is that the devs should take a look at the bug-reports section and address some issues for once. Especially the false bans and the TFAV8005 disallowed game file kicks

[safe ravine]

Multiple things that I'd like see:

• Fix the player number consistency: the player # we have on is never the same whenever we appear on screen or spray or mvp screen, it keeps changing to random number which is completely dumb.
• Fix smurfing: smurfing still seems to be an issue this season, unlike what it was promised (cheating seem okay, maybe sus occasions on point break, cuz no kill cam to easily tell)
• Have more events and gamemodes frequently: maybe have a dedicated spot for a gamemode that rotates every weeks (bank it one week, H2H the other week)
• Have a gamemode where the map randomly rotates during a match (after a cashout is complete, map transitions from kyoto to Nozomi/citadel) -- I feel like this is the kind of gamemode that would tap into the Ready Player One potential
• Let Scotty & June say our name during matches that would be SOOO AWESOME
• For next season, the bot cashout matches, i would actually prefer a different mode with waves, just like a COD Zombie mode, would be so epic

And thanks for this incredible game Embark, really good job from yall. Hopefully one day it'll get the recognition it deserves. Really glad we had medieval stuffs into the game FINALLY 🥹 (medieval potential still feels untapped, but I'm really glad with what we got ^^ ❤️ )

[viscid geode]

Game is probably in the worst state it's even been in. Quit while you can.

[sonic arrow]

Repost number (a lot) until something about crossbow changes

[wide vortex]

before starting my gamepsession after work I want to tell you that winch needs to be deleted or stun removed completely. Nothing you do other than deleting the stun will make it feel fair for any other players. It is so f unfun

[dapper vapor]

Leavers are ruining every point break game, pls do something about it asap

Buff the hipfire for the duel pistols on heavy please. I can barrel stuff someone and none of my shots will hit.

here to beat a dead horse again 🥳
ranked is shit (shocker) and has been for all 9 seasons

braindead execs "hmm yes we need esports"
waste 100k on a bunch of nolife losers instead of servers n shit 🤡
"why is the smurfing and boosting so bad"
10k mmr ranked queue gap for duos only
this will save ranked 🤡
queue solo ranked as sliver and get a 20k mmr diff with ruby stack

wtf are they smoking... a methed up tweaker could have done better

[spice mural]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[grand hare]

yes, sometimes everyone freezes and i get kicked from the match. servers are very unstable

[limpid orchid]

On Starlight Hollow Point Break, I think the attackers spawn too close to point A at the start of the game

[rancid dagger]

They should add built in crosshair customization because on console there's no overlay app

Also we need more free credits because I can't get any good skins without spending irl money

Make the game harder, make it so i don't get put with the shittiest players ever, I don't want to lose because of my shitty and bad teammates

[tender sail]

Nerf the goo gun, this game is boring as fuck if you leave it as is.

[short cipher]

Bring back head2head

[waxen thicket]

Combine the Starlight Hollow with P.E.A.C.E Centre map and make them a full-fledged cashout map. They're both on the same forest biome and would compliment each other really well. Maybe even add a castle on the side to complete it, but that enough would make it big enough for Cashouts.

Also please add a 9th contestant slot, it would make a neat 3 spec slots for each class. 8 slot feels barely short of that.

[wide creek]

It feels like you totally removed the windup for minigun.

Also thanks for putting a ruby team in my game, really love how they left their own cashout just to come steal ours.

They know they're better than everyone else and they RUIN EVERYONES FUCKING GAME

PUT THEM IN RUBY LOBBIES LIKE YOURE SUPPOSED TO. STOP THROWING THEM IN LOW PLAT

[jaunty flax]

ranked does not respect players time. u lose like 800rs if u get first roundedu win like 1200 for winning 3 rounds how is that fair

[pastel spruce]

Why am I being paired up with two low levels and I am level 140 in cash out? And then versing other triple stacks who are diamond? Must be so fun for both parties, right?

[quick coyote]

Stop trying to match up 8 teams of similar skill in Cashout. You clearly can't do it with the current player base. Make one round of 4 teams and a final round of 2 teams. This is just common sense at this point.

Also, bring back H2H. It was the only mode for new players to learn the game and what makes the Finals speacial without overwhleming them. QC/Cashout/TDM are not going to retain a lot of new players when they're continually getting stomped before they even know what's happening. Don't eliminate modes because they're not the most popular, understand what your game needs to grow and have the conviction to cultivate that experience.

[torpid plank]

I'm seeing this issue today also

[hollow tree]

the light class plays light cancer to the game at the moment.... no single weapon in that glass cannon should be able to magdump and entire team. its a total joke and encourages selfish playstyles with that class leaving the team handicapped

• Give Oceania & South America some love

The more modes you add the more it hurts these two regions. Right now in SA you can only play ONE mode: Quick Cash. Last death was TDM. You can't play any other thing than Quick Cash if you are from SA and want to play with good ping.

• 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. Bug since launch.

• 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!

[tawny thorn]

piansix and macdona were banned last season but are unbanned this season??? WTF embark, ranked is so cooked

4 game, full leaver, matchmaking dont give more player, plz make something about your dead game, stop be afk on arc raider and try to put your game better plz, so sad to see how finals become

[novel trench]

The social aspects of the game need a complete overhaul:

• a leave party button in the lobby.
• muting players shouldn’t require me to open a social menu. (Scoreboard functionality)
• messaging function.
  We shouldn’t be in the Stone Age this far into the games life. I understand this isn’t a priority but more QoL is desperately needed eventually

[sonic ridge]

WHEN are you gonna fix the servers?

[empty needle]

while there is NO single game that is more fun to play with my friends rn, finals solo q is the most unfun experience i have EVER had. and tbh, i don't even know how to fix this one, but i mean it when i say, i rather not play the game at all than to play it solo q or even in a duo.

what i do know is fixable are the terrible spawns and the utter shit of a matchmaking system.

this games fundamentals and idea, the creativity behind it, the way to interact with objects and the maps are goated. but there are flaws that make the game barely playable and enjoyable if i am not in a three stack with my friends.

and also please for the love of god bring back h2h. it was the ONLY mode that is not EXTREMELY overwhelming for new players and should be THE FIRST MODE YOU PLAY. NOT QC!
all my friends i convinced to try the game were super thankfull, that i convinced them to play h2h first for a few days. the rest of the modes is super overstimulating for a person that is new to the game.
most of them stayed on the game and play regularily, but only ever as a three stack, because playing this game solo q is emotionally and mentally crippeling.

and what also definitly would help is a little more transparency and interaction with your community. we all feel like we keep screaming into the void. THINGS ARE HAPPENING. community oppinions are obviously heard and considered. but nobody knows when and how and why and so forth.

[woeful arch]

Where is the "Quick" in "Quick Cash" when 90% of the lobby is just playing "hide the cashbox to get easy headshots, laughing your way watching folks run to the cashbox" and playing timer so they win just by wasting time? Please look into giving penalties to teams that are hoarding the cashbox for extended time. I get playing the timer in Cashout and Ranked Cashout, but in Quick Cash it's just unnecessary. It's turning off friends who are new to the game who feel like they're just wasting time and not having fun in The Finals. Hard enough to get folks to play, we don't need this type of toxic behavior to deter new players.

[lost mist]

who broke matchmaking?? im getting like lvl 20s on my team in point break and getting smashed bc they dont know how to play. Same with being matched against diamond players in the same game. At least put an equal amount on both teams

[ember ridge]

REMOVE WINCH YOU BRAINDED DEVS

[dusky tinsel]

Adding onto this, I think the time has come for longer queue times in favour of more reasonable matchmaking. It's becoming ridiculous on all sides. Newbies are scared away because they're getting stomped and good players aren't being challenged.

I would personally accept a longer queue to try and fix this problem

[west skiff]

pls bring back head 2 head

[wet verge]

i've randomly disconnected at least 8 times since this season started. The servers are hot GARBAGE.

[timber vigil]

Buff model or nerf repeater and nerf fcar. Nerf or remove winch as well. Make crossbow into a projectile weapon

[cursive urchin]

Embark, ask yourself why even the goated aimers grief out sword/dagger/riot/blades/db/bow/knives/sniper then apply that same reasoning to the experience of a casual or new player, and you might start to see why many of them quit shortly after trying the game.

[weak fable]

possibly goingly against abso-fucking-lutely crazy players or seemingly unsuprising hackers in silver 1 lobbies...? i would say im pretty good but not that bad to go 0 and 8 in most of my matches nowadays. when i was achieving a pretty good positive kd in the last 2 seasons

Another day of asking for gun run mode 🤝

[errant cosmos]

I play mostly point break alone. I have maybe 180 hours.

Majority of lobbys have huge sweats. I want to relax or at least not feeling I'm playing against pros. Plus it usually one sided, we either better by far or worse by far.

This game can be so fun but most of the time I'm queing up i hope it's gonna be fun. Feels like gambling. I don't know if it's the matchmaking (skillbased),only sweats or it is made on purpose so that I play more than i would have otherwise and because of that i am more likely to be tired in every aspect (decision making, emotionally etc...) and spend in the shops trying to get the fun I wanted.

We can always host our server if let us...

[merry field]

nerf the f*ck out of crossbow it outdamages literally everything

[shy oak]

Please resolve the issue with gate way NOT PLACING AFTER THROWING PLEASE. I’ve had this issue for season where the gate way just doesn’t place after multiple throws. It should be that difficult I’ve died and lost multiple fights because the gateway decides when it wants to work and not.

[upper citrus]

Heavy has a faster ttk because they have way less range. If you keep running head first into heavies you will keep dying to them. With very few exceptions, you’re not meant to kill a heavy up close just because you got the jump on them

Remove winch is true tho

[minor star]

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.

[sullen dew]

make it impossible to get in a lobby with way higher ranks. i am 20k elo and i come in a lobby with 40k elo this makes no sense and makes me to not want to play the game.

[frank holly]

Red lag bug fix coming tomorrow surely?

[lucid crane]

Ranked really feels unfun this season. I do not feel like I get balanced matches at all. I feel like I am placed as the carry almost every time, and get 2 under skilled teammates. I'd say its all me, but I haven't won a game in ages and almost mined my way into bronze when I am high gold - low plat player every season. Just really unfun to play ranked as they are not good matches.

Bonus: If I just lost ranked with a 2 team duo. I DO NOT WANT TO BE PLACED WITH THEM AGAIN! So annoying

[warped meteor]

Bring back Head 2 Head, and/or add 1 round cashout.

FIX YOUR MATCHMAKING

[upper vortex]

Leveling up weapons and gadgets takes way too long, the grind should be made easier since it currently just encourages people spamming gadgets like the hover pad in spawn instead of playing the game...
Maybe add a 2x multiplier to weapon/gadget xp if you win or qualify?

[final pine]

Bro a bunch of people are getting wrongfully banned by embark without embark doing anything to help. we need to make ts a big issue among the community because nobody is talking about it and embark is even trying to suppress it by banning threads about it on steam.

yea the matchmaking is rough. tired of going up against full clans.

I don’t think embark reads these…

Fix THE barricade already. It's so fucking bad it's unreal. Always leaving space on every doorway and doesn't even function as intended! Half the time you try to even place the thing it's pretty much red highlighted out because there's some small prop in the way or some trash or a piece of string, anything really.. Go ahead and use the barricade and you will realize how much trash is everywhere by the sheer amount of times you will be unable to even place the thing.

[potent bay]

I dunno if this is the right channel to mention/ask this, but can we please have a Goblin voice for the Premium? The only way we could get is through the ultimate bp, which as much as I do wanna buy to support, it still kinda costly for me, but it also kinda makes the Premium Goblin not have a new voice.

[clear flower]

stop spawning us across the map from the cashout with ~45 seconds left ❤️

[waxen thicket]

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.

[last rover]

Please fix the red lag issue jesus

[olive fulcrum]

Require a one-time fee to play ranked. $5-$10

It would get rid of some chunk of low-effort cheaters.

Oh, and add the death penalty for smurfing.

[trim dune]

SMS confirmation achieves the same result and is free lmao. (@ripe herald SIM cards are not free)

[hollow tree]

DESYNC IS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL NOW WTF DID YOU DO EMBARK???!!! WHAT SELECT THE CHEAPEST NITRADO SERVERS YOU COULD FIND? FFS

[brazen zenith]

1- Limit amount of snipers in a game
2- Reduce Lights as they are too OP (increase dash cooldown)
3- If not, increase glitches to reduce lights
4- correct snipers and other weapon systems particularly for console players. They can shoot people through walls?1? Shouldn't be this way.
5- Increase blockage of dual swords against shots

[lean sundial]

Are you still gonna keep silent and let the cheaters ruin the game further? A solid anti-cheat that blocks DMA, runs only on certified EFI bootloaders, and requires IOMMU is needed and it's needed FAST. Add that ID and phone verification as well as hardware banning. Also you need to detect all these AI visual aimbots and scripts, as well as completely remove aim assist from controllers completely. You should go even further and have Sony and Microsoft permaban consoles for using Zeus/XIM/whatever cheat devices. And get HWID bans on PC with lifetime bans that won't allow you to just make a new account and play. You need to stop being useless like your ex-CEO that only cared about toys in holes. Here is a semi-rage cheater i found today, we was blatantly walling and beaming everybody, as soon you spectated him he wasn't using his aimbot and missing his shots like a noob: SPIDERPIG#6127 44/4/6 in point break 20k+ dmg, lv143. I bet he was reported a million times. But you keep protecting any cheater that spends money on the game.

[ripe herald]

the problem with SMS is that it is free, a measure of that sort has to be paid in the game for it to be effective

[echo leaf]

Please add a Ready Up button like in ARC Raiders so I don't have to keep telling bro I'm ready
that or accidentally starting a match when I'm not ready

[ruby dawn]

Petititon to change the loadout changing UI in preparation screen, the one when you choose and change gadget/weapon.

I hate how I had to scroll to the rightmost of my screen just to find a gadget I want in a short time. Would be better if it they made it in stack so I could find & choose gadget & weapon faster.

(Idk how to properly explain it but hope you get my point)

[frosty violet]

Why am I joining my friends lobby 4/5 slots filled and then it just shows the two of us? Is the game haunted?

[visual trout]

can we have loadout presets?

[steep anchor]

add any kind of matchmaking to quickplay it's just sad

[rich nymph]

not getting ST points for completing point break matches, also really fuckin sick of being one of 3 people left on my point break team by the time i realize we've lost and why... for the love of god fix that shit. also all the hitler/hasidic jew costumes running around being turbo toxic rage baiting is getting pretty old too, they're not even good just bothersome. cheaters snapping onto off angles instantly everywhere, people leaving games to protect their 1.04 win/loss ratio, absolutely insane censor dodging names.. it's just hard to believe that in 2026 a modern title either can't stop these things or simply refuses to do anything about it. I get one message that someone got punished out of probably 50 reports for obscene profiles, names, or chat logs, and I continuously see it, seemingly more every time I send a report.

It just looks really, really bad on embark. we already know the online gaming community is full of morons, edge lords, and the like.

Also, the desync is so bad that sometimes I don't even get mad, I just finish the game and turn it off. Literally can't even be bothered to give a shit, since the experience would be plagued by leavers cheaters and bad actors anyway, even if it worked. GG go next, except ark raiders has turbo exploiters and grief rats everywhere too lol

idk lol good luck

[strong canyon]

hear me out, just getting silly here, what if you refunded all the RS I lost to cheaters this season? I've gotten like 10 "Thank you for reporting" messages yet 0 RS returned. What are we doing chat

[celest void]

riot shield just a attack speed buff

[river valley]

Two teammates leave so I leave and then I recieve a matchmaking ban? Fix the leaver detection so that players aren't punished when they leave the match

[graceful phoenix]

Quick Play/ Playlist matchmaking when?, I don't really care what game mode, i just want to find match quickly

[hybrid silo]

Your argument is plain wrong. Every class has weapons for all ranges. I will never understand how people are okay with H being so OP in cqc, where 90% of meaningful fights happen because even at mid range unless you are being shot with high burst damage weapons it’s incredibly easy to get in cover. Also how are lights not meant to kill a H if they catch them off guard? That’s the whole point of the class. H is straight up the worst designed class in FPS history and aside from movement almost every single aspect of this class should be nerfed.

[daring ingot]

DAY 12 of asking for Head2Head to be added back

[short cipher]

Bring back head2head

[spare topaz]

WHY THE FUCK is there no audio in this game? I can't hear enemies around me.

[quick coyote]

Get better match making
I played my first 8 or so matches of ranked this season, today. Why in almost every single game 1 or 2 of my opponents emerald. I don't play a whole lot so my highest rank is silver. I should not be placed with emeralds when I am unranked or bronze
THE FINALS is fun but I get an undying urge to leave my game when I see that cursed green banner

[mental blaze]

Tbh Emerald doesn't mean they're a super sweat, you can achieve that by simply playing a lot during each season. That said I agree, last time I tried ranked I was placed against 3-stacks of Ruby players when I was Silver lol

[charred rover]

In cashout defense in practice range. Whenever you complete a session the sounds will remain from the previous. IF you play enough rounds you'll hear 100's of cashout steal sounds and 100's of cashout music

PS
Please bring back head2head

[wide creek]

What? WHAT??? Who on earth told you they have less range? Heavies do NOT have less range, and regardless, most firefights are won/lost in the 10-30 meter range.

@hybrid silo They'll never really fully nerf it, but removing winch and reducing the insane RPG damage are at least a start

[untold drum]

can you guys plz add more legendary dome shield skins? like either just a cute skin (not uwu cute) or just cool/fun skin lol like an aquarium or something panda bcz at the moment if youre not passionate about coconuts and turtles there's just nothing to buy lmao

[orchid holly]

this season started with another dash nerf which they explained was for skill issue players. you will get better.

---

Embark - please give this game the love it deserves 🙂

[gritty jetty]

lights are not overpowered. lights are much more common in quickplay modes because light is significantly more fun to play than the other classes, heavy is the most impactful class for the team and is mandatory in any team comp. if you played ranked you would see a lot less lights because people dont care about having fun in ranked. the game cannot be balanced around quickplay modes

[high wing]

Season 10 is barely anything.

Most core issues are still untouched.

No match history.
No proper career stats.
No numerical ping.
No real weapon stats.

Audio still needs fixing.
Hitreg and servers still need work.
Performance is worse with stuttering at match start.

Respawn changes are not a real fix. Bad spawn spots will still be abused because the actual map flow and spawn design are still bad.

Ranked is still terrible, and this update did nothing meaningful to improve it. UI tweaks are not a ranked fix. The mode still has the same problems, so this changes nothing where it actually matters.

Cooldown info should be visible under teammate names, not hidden in the comms wheel.

Cheaters, griefers, and smurfs are still a huge problem too.

[undone dagger]

STOP REMOVING GAMEMODES DAMNN

[silver laurel]

leaving games needs to be punished more. every pointbreak match is just 8 vs max 5 at the end because there is barely any late joining and people keep leaving

[pseudo warren]

<@&1012034066876473384> Just asking... when will Embark open eyes to all False bans and renew accounts ?

As there is obviously something seriously wrong with your anti cheat and it needs immediate fix.

I don't think devs and people in the company are blind enough to miss the hundreds of bad reviews, support tickets, game feedbacks and bug reports about false bans...

Which means they are willingly ignoring their community

We all would love to see response next update.

[supple tinsel]

i already got it but this might help having qol updates like this

[fleet socket]

QoL change

A customization menu like arc raiders please, at least for the hairs. We don't need the same hair to take up 6 slots cause of the different hair colors, this will only get more cluttered as we get more hairs in different colors.

[sonic vine]

goo gun needs to be nerfed, it is way to op right now in high ranked lobbys.

I said, "Imma need a therapist" after getting absolutely farmed in game.
The autocensor ended up censoring out everything after the "e."
It was super awkward. Major Streisand Effect.

[past wadi]

Is it ridiculous to say that specifically ranked should implement H, M, L builds only? Which would make the only difference player skill in a level playing field. Instead of teams of 2:1 or 3s (HHH,MMM,LLL). I watched the TGMs last year and don’t know if theres a rule but I noticed they were running H,M,L on most teams by choice.

[limber prairie]

The ability to pick individual tracks to enable/disable in the jukebox settings would be nice

[night bough]

What if we could click on people's profiles, like in the leaderboard, and see their profile page ? Of course there would be an option to hide this ability or at least mask any information you don't want to communicate.

[sterile canopy]

Comparing the numbers across games surely makes no sense? They’re not using the same AA code so the relative scaling of the constants will be completely arbitrary, no? I’m not aware that there’s a unified standard across games for this.

I think the heavy fixed shield should be flat or L shaped. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a situation where the curvature of that shield is appropriate for the task. Or perhaps create a new shield for the heavy that is flat or L shaped

[rain ivy]

same

[upper citrus]

Medium has pike / repeater / famas. Mediums weapons max range stats go from 20m - 50m

Light has sniper / lh1 / ARN. Light weapons max range stats go from 15m - 100m

Heavy weapons max range stats go from 7.5m - 40m. And the 3 longest range heavy weapons all have random spread even when ADSing.

Heavy absolutely has less range than the other classes. It should probably have even less than it does now but yes it has less range.

[lean sundial]

Last night i saw a maybe new bug in Quick cash. One of the teams quit, and the game added a 4th team, then spawned 2 vaults and 2 cashouts and we were able to put both cashboxes in one cashout triggering DOUBLE JEOPARDY IN QUICK CASH! https://imgur.com/a/9dfO8Ne
Is it the UE5 (Uninstall Engine 5) or just Embark devs that as usual can't code for **

Also:
Bugs still regularly in the game (i started in S8):
Sounds keep playing when they shouldn't like the minigun still shooting after team wipe and respawn (since S8)
Lighting on hair of left contestant broken in pre-match, shows white hair (since S9)
Getting stuck on random invisible damaged structures (since S8)
No firing bug (for me it's fixed in S10 but there are still players experiencing this)
Right click/ADS input delayed or not reading at all, needing to unpress and repress the right mouse click even when you are not on fire for example, happens usually after switching from a gadget/specialization quickly, it's very annoying and will happen always when you are under a hectic fight. ADS is on hold so action queing should read the input no matter what, when whatever animation is finished it should go into ADS. Since i play heavy a lot now, when it happens its on the Lewis gun after firing the RPG usually, but i don't think it's specific to that gun gadget. (since s9 for me i didn't play heavy on S8)
Explosions getting eaten by props. This needs to be fixed for all exploding projectiles, many times you shoot somebody and a tiny prop eats all the damage even though the enemy directly behind it. You should make even CL40 do damage across walls. Just let explosion splash damage go through most surfaces.
There are more but these are the more common bugs..now for fixing the game i need to write you a novel about.

[eager gyro]

• Give Oceania & South America some love

The more modes you add the more it hurts these two regions. Right now in SA you can only play ONE mode: Quick Cash. Last death was TDM. You can't play any other thing than Quick Cash if you are from SA and want to play with good ping.

• 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. Bug since launch.

• 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!

[errant cosmos]

I play mostly point break alone. I have maybe 180 hours.

Majority of lobbys have huge sweats. I want to relax or at least not feeling I'm playing against pros. Plus it usually one sided, we either better by far or worse by far.

This game can be so fun but most of the time I'm queing up i hope it's gonna be fun. Feels like gambling. I don't know if it's the matchmaking (skillbased),only sweats or it is made on purpose so that I play more than i would have otherwise and because of that i am more likely to be tired in every aspect (decision making, emotionally etc...) and spend in the shops trying to get the fun I wanted.

[waxen olive]

add solo private matches please

[plain atlas]

Same here

[brazen zenith]

The game shouldn’t be centred around “only ranked”. It should be balanced in all modes. I have played ranked and can tell you the teams are not “chosen” how you state. People will have maybe a heavy or team of lights and still take out multiple teams. My team manages to sometimes get by and sometimes not. Team of lights take us out and with either snipers shooting from an insane distance, sword + dash, or m11 (training wheel gun).

So light is still OP and those defending probably main a light. Hence, they should limit how many lights are in a game mode or nerf those weapon mechanics.

People, in general, ruin it because they found how to exploit said mechanics and it needs to be fixed!

[quick coyote]

Yesterday I decided to play a game of power shift. 1 of my teammates is level 1 and it looks like this is the first shooter game he has ever played. He is running in the opposite direction of the platform and shoulder bashing random objects.

I stg the exact same people who complain about lights being overpowered are the same ones who hate having a light on their team and say they are useless and contribute nothing to team play 😐

[hoary steeple]

the arguement that teams of lights can be said about any class, not just lights. dealing with more lights just requires more coordination with the team. using the mechanics of a weapon or using a weapon and specialisation/gadget isnt exploiting, its called skill

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.

Light feels like a better medium in the current state of the game.

• better burst heals, and range for combat healing
• equal/similar or even better team mobility with gateway
• guns are better close and mid range (wtf is arn even)
• 100hp difference is effectively negated from the faster self heal + better self mobility from dash

Most games 40k+ are either HML or HLL, but I've been seening more HLL, as L is able to effectively substitute or excel at all roles of M, all while providing a greater impact for the team. The only redeeming feature for M is defib at this point.

IMO an easy fix would be that M heals should be comparatively buffed (either with H+ nerfed slightly or heal beam total resource buffed slightly).
Or a more adventurous option would be to allow heal beam to provide slight overheals of 15/25/35 that degrade over 30 seconds. Introducing a mechainc where Pyro of any form will "burn" away healing, preventing or reducing received healing by 50-66% from all sources would be interesting, making pyro and smoke grenades more nuanced and a realistic option, and flamethrower something more viable at higher ranks.

[terse slate]

Feedback after returning after 2 seasons left out:

• Matchmaking has gotten a bit better. Sweats and adrenalin light junkies are still killing the fun. Its okay to lose if its close or sth but not being lasered 0-20 into oblivion. Give the sweaty people a hard bracket even if they have longer queue times. This would make the game a lot more casual friendly.
  PLAYTIME IS NOT AN INDICATOR FOR MATCHMAKING!+
• Dash Lights are still a nightmare for casuals. Tracking the multiple dashes is oof..
• Weapon balances feels very nice. Far more better than 2 seasons before. Hype on that!
• The new map is not available in cashout? Well... I would recommend focusing on one mode and not switching from season to season to cater to niche gamers. There are so many possiblities to push finals further and youre not taking it.
• oh and btw ban all smurfs by ip + hardware id so that their main acc gets banned too. Dont go back on that.

[harsh rose]

Do something about matchmaking balance, especially in ranked. It’s almost impossible to play solo queue right now. In about half of the matches, you get random low-skill teammates while facing a party of Ruby players who completely destroy the lobby.

Hey Embark, you have a lot of people complaining that Starlight Hollow is not a full-fledged map because it's Point Break-exclusive. Why not combine it with the other Alfa Acta map, P.E.A.C.E. Center and make one map big enough for Cashout modes?

Just think about it, both of them are in a forest biome, both have 3 map segments each, and have enough trees and rocks between them to make traversal against long-range campers convenient. You could put a Tradition Meets Lethality aesthetic going on here just like Fangwai City. Both maps honestly are quite underutilized given the resources they got. By combining them you would have a great new map on your hands, fit for Cashout and even a bit of variety in Point Break objectives, and everyone would be happy. You could even add a castle or a town hall in the middle to complete the look as many players have been expecting for this map, but even without that this combined map would be quite big enough.

So yeah, combine Starlight Hollow and P.E.A.C.E. Center and turn them into a single, forest-based Cashout map. Maybe even add a castle/town hall on the side, as a cherry on top.

Also where's the new contestant slot? We got a new specialization, but still only the same 8 contestant slots. It's time you gave us the 9th contestant slot, then we'd finally have 3 slots for each class, a nice n neat ratio. In fact, why didn't you release the new season with a new contestant slot? People would've been less disappointed if it also featured a new contestant slot, as it would make making a new class based off of the new specialization much more convenient, instead of having to repurpose an older class slot.

Therfore, in short, give us the 9th contestant slot already. And combine Starlight Hollow with P.E.A.C.E. Center to turn it into a Cashout map.

[sleek forge]

“make good players suffer because I suck” lmaooo, never sbmm in casual modes. You don’t deserve special treatment for being bad

[leaden tangle]

On the other hand, I play alone in every mode. I have more than 1900 hours playing at 60 fps, using every class, specialization, gadget and weapon, reached the ruby lobbies and beating them and dying by. I don't feel fair to fight against casual players, also my team always has casual players and even if I try to carry, they don't know what they are doing. Most of the times I play against 3 or 5 stack teams with my casual teammates. In Power shift I'm the only one who takes the platform while my team is camping, in team Death match most of the times I keep a k/d stats in 75%/25%, my team is dying many times for a dagger and a flamethrower and that stats against a 3 stack or 5 stack team is useless; in point break every ally is wasting coins as attackers or defending a spot since the begging when two of the others spots are destroyed, cash out is the most complex mode for them and a the duo who I am carry have a tunnel vision most of the times while the other full stack team are working together with a decent teamwork

This game needs a 1v1 mode to improve the experience with solo players, fairest matchmaking putting casual players with casual players, skilled players with skilled players & solo players against solo players

[sterile canopy]

The idea is to give players as a whole a good experience, it doesn't matter how much you think someone "sucks", their experience matters. Being better at the game doesn't mean you somehow 'deserve' a better experience at the expense of others.

edit: I didn't realise the main thing this person was complaining about was the idea of forced split queues in matchmaking, so my response doesn't actually apply properly, though I still disagree with "never sbmm in casual modes"

[hearty bough]

Last time they buffed the riot’s offensive capabilities (mid S7) it quickly become really annoying to deal with - I feel like if they buff riot it needs to be on the defensive (make shield bigger or cover feet when ADS’d) or utility (some sort of CC tool to push people off of the cashout - maybe will come with the melee rework next season)

[broken geyser]

Add a RAIL GUN for the HEAVY build. Make it so that when ADS, u have to shoot a charged up shot that takes 2 ammo, whereas when u hipfire - u can rapid fire (automatic or semi automatic) which takes up 1 one ammo.

Hey! The seeding in ranked cashout has been bothering me lately. How is it possible that my wiped team has an active cashout that has not been stolen and no one is actively trying to steal it and we still end up getting seeded to the cashout across the map? It is so frustrating to spawn back into the game and realize that despite the best efforts of our grapple light, it is just not possible within the confines of the game to get to the cashout to defend it in a reasonable manner. It truly feels like we are being actively seeded out of the game. Please look into this and make sure that if your team has an active cashout, you won't be seeded across the map.

[signal cosmos]

please add a melee only cashout ltm with the melee rework

add us new body types by taking the existing body types and adding/removing the boobs, now we would have a male and female version of every body type. knowing how the devs dont like adding content as of right now this is most likely the only way to add new body types

[wide creek]

Medium has slightly longer range than other classes overall, but saying a silly thing like "Light weapons max range stats go from 15m - 100m" is absurd. The sniper is a total outlier, and most light weapons fall in the 15-35 meter range, with the LH1 and sniper being the only ones that go above that. In fact, technically speaking, heavy has a longer effective range, with the average Min Damg Dropoff starting at 25 meters, while lights starts at 22 meters on average.

Do that math man.

[tall minnow]

+1 h2h was the best warmup mode

[regal hound]

Aiming while Reloading feels disconnected.

Atleast for some weapons while reload animation is active you can still aim and shoot (interrupts reload + animation), however if you could have it so that aiming or clicking to shoot interrupts the reloading so that you can aim properly (where the shot actually starts from, so that the sight aligns with it) to be ready to shoot properly.

Example with the M repeater or revolver, I found them most visually best for the example where I first noticed this.

Sure I could just remember where the actual invisible crosshair is, so to speak. But it's just design-wise it feels... unpolished.

[raven garnet]

embark love how much you tried to sell how crazy different the finals was gunna be. as you said " we've flipped it on its head " yet we got one shit ass map. a new weapon that already has dropped to no one using it. a gadget that's kinda cool but not worth having it. same weapons same meta. same shit. like honestly it feels like you are really trying to give us the " more for nothing " treatment. or do we need to buy 600 more ultimate passes to get a actual shake up? season after season its the exact fukin same

[obtuse nymph]

Exactly. Visual clutter is very bad for this game. That is why they don’t have map voting. 99% of the time, the map would be one of the custom maps. (Sys, fortune, Seoul..)

Embark praise you for this amazing game! Really a masterpiece, the quality of the skins, textures and landscapes 😄 really top notch

Unfortunately, can't help but to think the low player count is due to a succesion of bad choices. This game is clearly designed for a big player base, and it is not the case.
Had a discussion with one of the randoms in game during my ranked matches. And he said, which I completely agree: why not release the medieval season at the same time of the new melee system rework?

Like it baffles me that one random guy has way more common sense than an entire company 🥲

Really wish a bright future for this game, but pains me to see 6k players online while I'm playing, very sad

why give horrible matches instead of longer Q times? Average q time is extremely low rn but so is match quality. At least give an option to slow Q ranked to get better matches

[bright sail]

the ranked system is at its worst position, seeding is not based on your performance during the 4 seeding games, but rather it places you slightly lower than what you had last season.
the rs system is stupid, why did you even switch from s1/s2 system? it was perfect, both versions were ideal, and now its just attrocious to play

[dark niche]

would be fun but should not be implemented in cashout & ranked to prevent griefing, & should probably be disabled by default because of how much toxicity there is already

[young hatch]

I’m about 30-40 hours into MnK, Pulsar Crazylight + Superglide V3 mousepad.

MnK is so much better in this game, playing controller feels slow and unintuitive.

Using the FCAR on controller vs MnK is so much worse.

As I’ve moved to PS5 Pro, I’m generally the only MnK player in the lobby vs everyone else on controller.

I have no issue, even with under 40 hours playing MnK. MnK is extremely accurate, and I’ll win any long range engagement.

EDIT:

To the person below, MnK is the main input for the Majors. So I really have no idea what they’re on about.

this doesn't prove anything except u being bad at controller, really. You haven't provided any clips of you on mnk, nor does that prove mnk is better at the top level.

Holy chat gpt, bro just straight copy & pasted the ai response lmao

[old matrix]

Keep on grinding Embark. You can get there on this game. Pls don't waste the huge investment and potential.
I give that preface that because I have a very low-priority suggestion, which is to revisit the 3v3 Cashout rules to see if there is a way to introduce slightly more strategy than "first to 2 boxes wins."
I say "revisit" because I'm not sure it can be done in a way that is differentiated and interesting enough to be worth it, and without introducing additional RNG elements.
One thing that's really good about 3v3v3v3 (for all of its problems, especially in comp play) is that there are a lot more factors to consider, both tactically and strategically, than just holding boxes (for example, plug money, wipe penalties, $$$ for eliminations, and the time remaining on the clock).
In the meantime, I appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing.

[daring fossil]

I uninstalled, I tried to adjust to all the terrible changes to this season and I can't, im not changing my entire playstyle because you change shit in the worst ways. embark, you have no idea how to balance your game, you touch shit based on stats on paper that doesn't reflect how the game actually plays with the god awful net code. I lowered my sens and changed my crosshair so I know if my crosshair circle is outside of the enemies body even by a mm that I'm going to lose the fight. Pretty bad when I can use a sniper hipfire and do better than a fucking shotgun, requiring a shotgun to barrel-stuff while also requiring more precision than a sniper with a gun with 2 shots, a delay between shots and a long ass reload, and horrible net code where enemies can just step out of the way in a single frame (and movement prediction if they aren't going in a straight line is impossible) is actually mind-numbingly baffling. It's almost impossible to 2-shot a heavy now, while they can just winch claw me and instantly win the fight, oh and they can just side-step out of the way as they are winching now, while I am still stunned. AMAZING. Not to mention all the input related issues this season has, i'll reload and switch to cloak bomb and the game just ignores my inputs and requires me to push the button 3 times to actually throw the cloak bomb and then it'll have a delay so I end up tossing it off the edge of a building or something, or i'll start a reload and jump over an ankle high ledge and the games like "oops you had to mantle that, canceled reload". I can go through the entire reload animation and then some bullshit happens like I get stuck on a potted plant THAT I SHOULDNT EVEN COLLIDE WITH, so I jump over it and "oops, had to mantle that, doesn't matter that you already put 2 shells in the gun, gotta do the whole reload over". Or I throw a grenade and quick-swap to another gadget or weapon and it just decides I didn't actually throw the grenade.

You can't predict enemy movement because the netcode and server-side prediction is so bad. I'm so tired of sweating every single round and still losing to level 20s with M11 and dash or heavy with winch claw plus literally anything else because you refuse to do anything about that while nerfing weapons that only noobs who stand still and cant aim complain about. fuck you honestly, games been a waste of my time and money, you've ruined everything I found fun about it while not doing a damn thing about all the problems with the game or doing the stupidest things instead.

I was standing behind a door today waiting for an enemy to push, and literally took 2 headshots to the face the frame the door started to open as if the enemy opened the door fully and had time to acquire target and shoot me, actually before I could even see him on my screen. I was dead by the time the door finished opening. My average ping to servers in my region (NA) is 150ms (and why you don't show ping in-game) (on a fiber connection). MW19 was unplayable with over 70ms ping for me and COD has always had terrible netcode too but at least in that game I could find lobbies with 40 ping, something that's impossible with this game. I don't know how I managed for 8 seasons of this (I quit playing and skipped season 5), probably because the game was fun regardless of how broken it is, but now it's not fun, it's just infuriating. I want to play this game, but I just can't justify it anymore. It gets worse basically every season. I spent more time sitting at the main menu procrastinating playing than actually playing in the last 2 weeks because the season 10 experience is so damn miserable.

[wraith gale]

I'll still be playing a few times a week but tbh it's sad i've been playing less because I was expecting different things this season in terms of QoL changes, and also i lightly burnt myself out a bit on the grind last season. the BP is great and so is the new performance, but there's a handful of fundamental things still missing from this game after 2 years.

Really hoping someone on the team searches for one of my other msgs on this channel to see my wishlist of QOL additions and changes for season 12. I'm not expecting those for s11 because if s12 is supposed to be the biggest since launch, to me this comes with the implication that next season will be rather thin.

[torpid quarry]

Ever since Bad Company 2 got shut down, there has been an MG-3 shaped hole in my heart. I was hoping to see this beast in the finals at some point, and i feel like thats not likely anymore with the P90 existing and heavy never getting any new weapons (Barrett M95 would have also been a much more appealing vehicle for the BFR's stats). The P90 is a fun weapon, but when fired in short rapid bursts at ranged targets, it just isn't as effective as the MG3 was in BC2. But i dare say, there could still be a place for a very high ROF machine gun in heavy's arsenal and i hope to be reunited with the MG-3 in one of embark's games one day. I love your guys' (ands gals') work on present and past games, and i know you dont just want to repeat the old hits, but what with rush mode coming back, i feel closer than ever to the good old BF days. Just need that crisp crackle of 1000rpm goodness to defend our grand vaults...

[short cipher]

Bring back head2head

[noble bramble]

This is so foul, RIP man. Matches like that feel like I’m playing a farming sim. They seriously need to fix this because it’s getting to the point im thinking of just uninstalling

[spark crown]

how is this games servers so comically inconsistent?!

[paper frost]

MAKE FUCKING RANKED FUCKING HEAD TO HEAD FOR FUCK SAKE

[broken bolt]

Rankeds RIP. this matchmakings is awful...

[last rover]

FIX THE RED LAG PLEASE!!!!!! 50% of games in my region I join and get red lag. when solo, sure, I can just leave and rejoin. With a team though? its almost guarentee that someone on the team gets it. I have seen teams leave at the start because of it. Was playing quick cash the other night, pink team left. 4th team gets added under another colour, doesnt show their score in the top left or when they wipe, and adds a second vault? The group I got into this game has basically given up on the game because of this, and I am not far behind. I am sure I am not alone.

This is worse than any balance issue. The game could be perfectly balanced to my preferences, and I still wouldnt play because of the lag.

PLEASE FIX THE SERVER INCONSISTENCY!!!!! This will kill the game completely.

[real adder]

Nah

[opal wagon]

Hello Embark, I love your game, the gunplay, the mechanics. Would it be possible to make a solo ranked mode because the matchmaking is completely random? The default ranked mode is way too team-oriented, and as a solo player, I get thrashed every time I play it. 😭 I don't know how to make a Resurgence or Battle Royale mode like yours to have a competitive solo game mode. I think this is partly why players without a team leave the game. I love you guys.

[calm maple]

Add synced emotes etc. settings between Light, Medium and Heavy

[tired ibex]

Yo that "issue" that was described in the patch notes is not the problem

[exotic elk]

Pls add chinese chuck in the game

[digital ember]

Throwing statues on enemies should make them take damage

[glad elk]

I dont think it would be a good idea, as a lot of the core mechanics in the gadgets are absolutely team oriented, this is a team based game and i dont think it should become solo focused

[lime shoal]

tried to do ts tn- a good lil 10 damage would be nice

[calm estuary]

Honestly js get new servers atp

[honest wing]

What's the point of adding lil update cutscenes if we're still preloading shaders? Makes the vid laggy asf

[high wing]

Season 10 is barely anything.

Most core issues are still untouched.

No match history.
No proper career stats.
No numerical ping.
No real weapon stats.

Audio still needs fixing.
Hitreg and servers still need work.
Performance is worse with stuttering at match start.

Respawn changes are not a real fix. Bad spawn spots will still be abused because the actual map flow and spawn design are still bad.

Ranked is still terrible, and this update did nothing meaningful to improve it. UI tweaks are not a ranked fix. The mode still has the same problems, so this changes nothing where it actually matters.

Cooldown info should be visible under teammate names, not hidden in the comms wheel.

Cheaters, griefers, and smurfs are still a huge problem too. Not to mention how you handle false bans as well.

[sterile tendon]

More skins please. And don't dare to touch anything else in the game's code.

🔥This is Fine 🔥

[tender belfry]

holy this game is cooked why even play lmao

[pliant lichen]

We cannot be serious with a double week of only store updates when there are know issues that could have already been fixed by now..?

Red network bug has been here since 9.13 or 9.14, still not resolved.
Added a fantastic Spec and gadget and a slightly better version of the pike (poke weapon) and called it a medieval season..?
The medieval season that players were requesting for ages...
You hype up an explosive mace in traliers and players think it's going to be a caber stick grenade gadget with 1 time use like TF2 had. This would have been amazing for combos and reaching certain breakpoints with melee finishers...
But nope. Literally just a hammer reskin..?????
All of that effort put into that trailer for a reskin..?
Seriously..?

Come on, lads.

[toxic tangle]

Still no H2H despite so many people asking it back!
It was YOUR decision to permanently add it to game mode after seeing how popular it was! Why removing it now?!

[orchid holly]

my follow up idea would be remove backwards dash but keep forward/side & add bloom for people spraying with auto weapons very briefly.

skilled players could still peaim thru bloom. people could still fire instantly with shotgun but auto would take more skill.

cool down goes to six seconds. i’m not sure how well this idea holds up. but solving dash without making the class feel horrible would be nice. i still feel at high level dash is easily punished. i do it all the time to people & get stomped myself.

---

[tiny hound]

The Finals should add Solo / Duo / Trio ranked queues (like PUBG: Battlegrounds)?

It would increase player engagement, reduce skill gap issues, and let players improve step-by-step (Solo → Duo → Trio) instead of relying heavily on team coordination from the start.

This would make ranked more balanced, skill-based, and beginner-friendly, while keeping Trio as the core competitive mode.

[crisp latch]

New Ranked Spawns are so bad. It's literally like quick cash. Donno about other regions but in APAC its so frustrating. We don't get to even breathe after a fight another team spawns right infront. I think it might not be an issue in other regions but for APAC its a nightmare.. so please consider all different regions. Don't only look at stats of NA pros

[hearty vector]

the game would be fixed if we added the sex update

[daring ingot]

DAY 13 of asking for Head2Head to be added back

[ember ridge]

hey game devs remove winch before I Fakk your mom r you restarted to not notice it's destroying the game

[iron spear]

Why won't you change the AFK penalties? I only disconnect briefly between matches, yet I still get penalized even after reconnecting. I can finish in first place, only to be told that points are still being deducted. I have never once intentionally quit a match. It seems that whenever my connection drops—even for a moment—I am guaranteed to face a penalty. This has already cost me thousands of points; at this rate, what is the point of even bothering to reconnect?

[hot girder]

wdym? colors? You can just turn them on in the settings

[past wadi]

Your data shows information from Apex Legends not THE FINALS; two very different games.

[floral shoal]

Point Break needs to have a hard limit on how many times an Attacking Team's Coin can be revived or a time limit on how long statue can remain in play. A good coordinated defending team will always be outplayed by a good coordinated attacking team that can keep their statues alive.

Even Battlefield 4/1 had a hard limit on players dying being revived then being killed again shortly after.

[tender sail]

The winch needs a serious rework, the user should not be able to shoot before the opponent can. It should be a way to close the range gap, not a stronger stun-gun.

[solid snow]

i think you are just buns at the game

[marsh dragon]

Both medium and light have items to combat this.

[half forum]

i think you didnt play w stun gun then

[brave badger]

Bring Back Terminal Attack

[dusk marten]

They just added Saudi servers for eu players - the main reason of red ping icon

[versed hazel]

hello embark 👋🤓

[lapis anchor]

Yeah bring back terminal attack and head2head. h2h is greatly needed because it teaches players how to play the final round in ranked cashout or regular cashout

[errant cosmos]

In point break at least, i would prefer either being put against every level so there is any potential combination of people.
If I'm better than 70% I wish I felt that.

If people are like me when I played against friends less skilled I lower my level and or nerf myself. I pursue fun and destroying them every match gets boring and frustrating for the other.

The current matchmaking feels like gambling mixed with skillbased. If the matchmaking was just ping, i think it will incentive people to find different kind of fun and so create different kind of lobbys. Skillbased incentivise/reward skill. Ping incentivise/reward whatever the player base do with the game.

Sorry I talked about on only of your point. I feel you for the rest and agree with the majority. In point break people wasting coins is... weird... they playe like it team death match.

[weary pine]

Remove Sword!

For the Heavy grenade launcher could we have the right click allow for the ability to denote the bombs when we wanted to? This would allow for the Heavys grenade Launcher to have a close quarters fight ability which is the biggest weakness and reason most players avoid it. But this ability wouldn't change anything about the weapon but provide the Heavy with more control over their weapon/tool. Hold right click can simply just prolong the timer or just detonate instantly. Or it could just be a means to give access to the pre-detonate button which is pressed with the left click so two button press. CQC engagements would be a quickkly tapping left-right-left.

[coral nest]

Bring back H2H!!

[mild ocean]

Please add extended invincibility after defib any sort of revives in point break because people just camp totems and then when you get respawned they just immediately annihilate you and you can't do anything because you only have whatever ammo is left in your weapon, if there is any, and the util is blocked out too

[pliant sand]

Why did you take away 3vs3 and gave us quick cash with 3vs3vs3

[distant vine]

another ruby 3 stack in world tour. thanks retardbark for having a matchmaking system. that works perfeclty. and has no flaws.
im so glad i get a ruby 3 stack every game. that only wins cuz they 3rd party every cashbox. like the noobs they are. cuz every ruby player knows. that if they wheren able to 3rd party. they would be fucking bronze.
im so glad this game has a good matchmaking system. that is based on preformance and ranked like every other game out there. im so happy.
thanks retardbark for making this the perfect game it is today. with no mathcmaking flaws what so ever

[daring fossil]

dont worry everyone, in 6 more months we'll get our biggest season yet, and the game will still be chalked.

How to correctly balance the 93R (its current TTK is awful)

The 93R's current TTK is even worse than it was pre-S5 and in my honest opinion it is subpar versus other light class options (like the ARN, the XP-54, the V9S and the LH1).
This weapon gets out-damaged in most cases by the FAMAS (across all classes), a similar 3-round burst weapon with 4 more rounds in the magazine present in the medium class, which has 100 more HP.
In my opinion it doesn't make sense that the light class burst weapon has... less DPS potential than the medium class burst weapon?

Proposed 93R changes:
Damage: 24** (same)**
Burst delay: 0,275s > 0,23s

This change will result in the following TTKs (Time-to-kill):

Body:
light: 0,81s -> ** 0,72s** (7 shots) (does NOT 2 burst lights with body shots only)
medium: 1.28s -> 1,14s (11 shots)
heavy: 1.74s -> 1,56s (15 shots)

Head:
light: 0.47s -> 0,42s (5 shots)
medium: 0.81s -> 0,72s (7 shots)
heavy: 1.22s -> 1,08s (10 shots)

Damage drop-off minimum range: 30m ->** 27m**
Damage drop-off maximum range: 37.5m ->** 34.5m**
Damage Dropoff Modifier @ Max Range: 50%** (it stays the same)**

These changes will make the weapon solid while not making it overpowered; for comparison, the ARN, a weapon with effectively a 60 round magazine, more range, and fully automatic has TTKs that are on average 10% faster than the 93R. This makes it effectively a completely superior option while being easier to use and way more forgiving. Missing a burst on the 93R means you are extremely penalised in your killing potential. This isn't the case for the ARN.

With these changes, the 93R will not 2 burst lights with body shots only, which was the product of an oversimplified "nuclear" buff made in Season 5.
This proposal will also make the 93R less capable to poke at long range due to lower minimum and maximum drop-off ranges, leaving that task to options such as the ARN and the LH1 (preserves the weapon niche).

[raven garnet]

fix your ranked. why should i lose 400rp because you put me with two silvers to go against whole plat squads? like fuk you

Can we bring back head2head, I'm genuinely losing my mind on all these other games, I love head2head and got the gamepass just to realise the only game I really play is gone. For the love of all that is video games, bring it back as a public game. I do not own 6 friends 😭😂

[uncut hedge]

Fix this game. The ranked point system is horrible, matches are unbalanced, and players abusing double light setups make it worse. Solo queue is garbage and completely unfair. The “double jeopardy” system is useless—you can still grief with no real consequences. Smurf accounts are everywhere, and constant third-partying kills any sense of competitiveness. The LH1 buff was unnecessary, and matchmaking is broken: you can be level 100 with teammates who are level 7–15, yet still face diamond players. The game feels dead when you keep running into the same players every match

[tawdry surge]

when youre browsing through the expressions menu there should be a photo on the side that shows what the expression will look like on your playercard. maybe put it above the picture of the bundle

[spice mural]

THE FINALS is a game at the front of technology, keep pushing boundaries Embark, I'm rooting for you!

[green summit]

Bring back head2head Please embark i neeed this

[prisma kindle]

pleace nerf this stupid sword... its hitbox makes no sense and it deals so much damage

[lone imp]

The finals need ranked rework, double jeopardy was very good change, but let's not stop here, add SAFE GAME! Any other modern online games has that in ranked! It's so easy change that i can't believe The STILL doesn't have it!

There's also other great suggestions for ranked from YouTubers you just have to try them and experiment! But never add terminal attack back

Also 10 seasons later and we still can't invite friend to group lobby as non leader, group leader STILL can't pass leader role to group member wth? Like instead of adding new skins can you add basic QOL THAT ANY OTHER GAME HAS! It takes one weak to add it! Don't be lazy Embark.

Love the new weapon and specialization tho, but still we need map with the castle

[shrewd ferry]

Please add ability to switch sights in practice range

[lament willow]

So progression is borked atm? I've been stuck at the same place in leaderboards for a few days now despite playing dozens of matches!

Bring back head2head

[mossy lance]

Bring back Head2Head

[mellow shoal]

can we please bring thermal back bro. embark play your own game and you’ll understand

[old matrix]

(1) For your own sake, pls switch from 8-team to 4-team ranked tournaments until the player count eventually rises. Or even make it adaptive: when there are sufficient players for larger tournaments, run larger tournaments. When not, run smaller tournaments. On a really good day, throw in a 16-team tournament for old times' sake. Heck, on a really bad day, just throw 2 closely matched teams directly into a Head2Head. You will save yourselves so much grief and stress from how much you'll reduce the matchmaking complaints. You'll also get a better balance of 3v3v3v3 rounds and 3v3 rounds for players, which is something else lots of players will appreciate.
(2) A more radical idea to consider for improving incentives in ranked tournaments: as long as you are already using RS/hidden ELOs at the start of a tournament to calculate how much RS different teams will earn based on their final placing, you could also estimate a $$$ amount that each team is expected to hit in any Cashout round, with the better teams obviously expected to hit higher amounts. The total RS that teams earn could then be split between their final placing and also whether a team exceeded their expected $$$ amounts in a round. Could be as simple as making each 50% of the total potential RS rewards for the tournament. Yeah, it probably forces teams to play faster, which may distort the balance of the game too much, but if it didn't, it would probably sharpen the intensity and excitement for every team and potentially combat some of the griefing scenarios, as well.

[modern ether]

Im not sure what changes you made but you need to undo them , even for the start of the season this is insane matchmaking, and its constant. You said you made changes to make it so groups and solos arent put together as often, but its been the opposite, all I see in my lobbys are groups. You have people with 1000 kills on their acount going against people with 100,000 and 50,000. You have silvers in the same lobbys as diamonds and rubys, almso 30K RS DIFFERENCE. Thats not ranked at that point, its quick cash with numbers on our names. Season 3 terminal attack ranked was better than this. Please do a hotfix or somthing

Please bring back bank it, it's the most fun casual mode and way better than TDM

[waxen thicket]

Combine PEACE Center with Starlight Hollow to create a new Cashout map, increase max contestant slots to 10.

Both PEACE Center and Starlight Hollow are in forest biome, are 3-segment linear maps and sponsored by Alfa Acta. Why not just lay them side-by-side and make them big enough for standard cashout modes? They are currently TDM and Point Break exclusive only, which honestly undermines their true potential. Many players have been disappointed that the new map isn't really a full-fledged map, after all. Combined into a Midseason update release, it would attract a lot of positive attention. It would also take significantly less effort than creating a whole new map from scratch, and would even have space for a Castle or Town Hall in the middle as the highlight POI. Overall it would be a great addition to the game that everyone would love.

Also now that total available specializations is 11, we should get at least 9 contestant slots for them. 10 would be the best, as that would accomodate so many builds, but if it was that convenient you probably would've added that seasons ago. But yeah, it's been long enough without a new contestant slot anyways.

[muted owl]

hoenst to god game, once again fix ur cancer spawns i have never in my life had to deal with so many 3th parties. You should implement a punishment for 3th party players aswell, its just cringe and i always get targeted no matter what we do. If there are 2 teams fighting for like 30 sec and you as a 3th team comes you should take 20% increased damage as the 3th partying team. I cant play the normally since you guys really screwed up with the spawns and there is noy way to win where you permantly get 3th partied and hard targeted. The ranked systsem you already have is also bad and when i win like 2 games on 2nd place and waste 60-80min of my time, just to lose all those points in 10 min due to cringe as teams perma 3th partying you. You should really look into this cuz its unbareable and also nerf the m11 stupid ass skilless gun.

can we get a solo queue mode for ranked. i am honestly tired of not only having to fight ruby pro teams caps on the PRO, with 2 other randoms but the worse part. gettings matched with a dude and his gold friend in a ruby diamond lobby... then having to wait 10 min without queing cuz i am guaranteed to get them again in my next game if i queue for the next 5 min. i mean seriously, this game is literally playing meta with 2 other dudes u know cuz if u dont play that way you just get bullied every single match to sum bullshit ass matchmaking.

[dawn stag]

The spawn changes in cashout are absolutely terrible, literally no downtime when you team wipe one of the teams, because the other spawns in a few seconds and is positioned to immediately clean your team up. The dynamics on the objective feel more random than ever and doesn't reward team wiping and instead the best strategy is to let the other teams weaken each other until your team can come clean up. Please revert.

after 2 years over 35k elims 2k wins etc. i can finally admit… this game is dogshit and it’s rigged. embark is a shitty derivative of EA and what they’ve done with battlefield. not only that but after 2 years they still can’t fix debugging through fucking doors i closed behind me, somehow lights still live after my fucking 50 round P90 clip. this game is terrible. if you have fun more power to you. i’m objectively good and i can finally admit it.

True, that other account's most likely just another creepy old man pretending to be a teenager. Not very uncommon around games like Fortnite and Roblox, but Discord is especially notorious for that. Either way, it's simply a lack of parental oversight that got them here in the first place. And I'd feel remiss if I didn't address that, you know, cos creepy behaviour isn't really something I can condone.

And y'all can come over with your pitchforks for all I care, I don't support kids ruining their long-term mental developement by being chronically online, I don't support creepy behaviours from grown adults online, and I'll happily stand by that for all I care.

[keen tartan]

Every wallhack cheater plays the same way. They see you through the walls and refuse to put their crosshair on you, but they keep you on their screen (if that makes sense). Then they randomly just stand there, and when you become visible without a wall in between, they put on this whole act like they didn’t know you were there.

Can't wait until season 11 anti-cheat.

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 136 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.

could we get colour on our weapon sights? if just for the generic yellow, blue, red, white weapons itd be compatible across all weapons since all weapons have those

Hello,

I am extremely frustrated with the current state of ranked matches in The Finals.

Almost every match I get placed with very low-ranked teammates, even when I am trying to climb seriously. It feels completely unfair and makes it nearly impossible to progress. I constantly perform well, but I still lose because my teammates are far below the level they should be for these matches.

On top of that, there are players quitting almost every game. People leave after losing one fight or one round, and then the rest of the team is forced to play at a huge disadvantage. There is not enough punishment for quitting, and it completely ruins the ranked experience.

Because of these two problems — terrible matchmaking and constant quitters — I cannot rank up no matter how well I play. Ranked should reward players for their own performance, but right now it feels like I am being held back by things outside of my control.

Please improve the matchmaking system so players are matched with teammates closer to their actual rank and skill level. Also, there needs to be much stronger penalties for people who quit ranked matches.

Right now, ranked is more frustrating than enjoyable, and it feels impossible to make progress.

Sincerely,
A frustrated player

Thought of something to help with** frustrations around the Winch** (after studying Roadhog from Overwatch):

• Add a visual indicator above heavies with winch ready - for opponents to see (perhaps in the health bar HUD element). This doesn't disrupt high level play at all, but makes it more new-player-friendly/understandable so it feels less frustrating getting 'one-shotted' because you had a warning.
• Change the winch effect to one which dematerialises players very briefly (electro-winch?) making the perceived effect of being winched through walls be acceptable from the point of view of yourself being winched - and then balance around that better foundation, perhaps with less stun duration and range.

Either that or just remove the stun entirely, which Perzzon suggests needs to be done as well...

• Give Oceania & South America some love

The more modes you add the more it hurts these two regions. Right now in SA you can only play ONE mode: Quick Cash. Last death was TDM. You can't play any other thing than Quick Cash if you are from SA and want to play with good ping.

• 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. Bug since launch.

• 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!

Hello Embark,

I’m going to be direct: giving rubies to Gold players makes no sense. At this level, those rewards are basically useless and feel completely out of touch with the actual progression of the game.

If you want players to stay motivated, the rewards need to reflect the effort and time invested. Right now, it just feels lazy and poorly balanced.

Please fix this.

PLEASE don't try to make the finals competitive. The only online FPS game that I like is The Finals because it is just fun and casual. I don't like Valorant CS because they are so competitive and stressful. After a long day, I just want some fun to relax. I don't want to worry about my rank, micros, and all this stuff. The final is just fun, as simple as that. Please make it more casual and relaxing. I really, really like the casual modes; we need more of them, and make it permanent, not a temporary thing, please.

[round isle]

Winch is fine
@tawdry mica I think they can do both. But they will def need a more casual mode intended for just having fun. All the current modes are pretty competitive. I think a variety mode where you just drop in and play a goofy event, or do 5-10 min ltms on rotation would work. Right now I think they should develop a mode allows the players to drop in and out of games casually and not be restricted to full competitive game modes.

Why does everyone always say "don't run into the heavies", like I'm some new player who doesn't know what flanking and hit-and-run is. I'm NOT running straightfirst into heavies. ALSO "way more damage retention", lights have an average DDM of 61.75%, heavies have an average of LITERALLY EXACTLY THE SAME of 61.75%. It is quite literally IDENTICAL.

Note: Data does not include Chimera

Avg. DDM (Damage Dropoff Modifier):
Light: 61.75%
Medium: 59.88%
Heavy: 61.75%

Avg. Min range:
Light (excluding sniper): 25.28 m, (Exc. LH1) 21.16 m
Medium: 26.38 m
Heavy: 24.3 m, (Exc. BFR) 23.5 m

Avg. TTK V Lights:
Light (Exc. Bow, Charged Knives): 0.62 s
Medium: 0.78 s
Heavy: 0.76 s, (Exc. Flame) 0.69 s

Avg. TTK V Mediums:
Light (Exc. Bow, Charged Knives, DB): 1.17 s
Medium: 1.40s
Heavy: 1.48 s, (Exc. Flame) 1.33 s

Avg. TTK V Heavies:
Light (Exc. Bow, Charged Knives): 1.50 s
Medium: 2.06 s
Heavy: 2.12 s, (Exc. Flame) 1.93 s

I excluded a few things. Sniper is an outlier in light that doesn't fit the frame of the discussion, and LH1 was both included and excluded in separate calcs, just like BFR, even though BFR is still viable close range, more so than LH1 in my opinion. For TTK, Bow, DB, and Charged Knives are much more accuracy oriented and inconsistent, so their TTKs are not really important here. Finally Flame is extremely misleading, since you can VERY easily kill a light even if they've left your range.

This data shows that heavies really have almost no weapon disadvantages in TTK and range. So no, there's no falloff disadvantage, extremely minimal to no minimum range difference, and a LOWER TTK on lights and BARELY longer (or lower) TTK on mediums and heavies, compared to mediums. And lets remember this is the class with 350 health, shields, healing, winch and the 110 dmg RPG.

I'm simply beyond baffled that people still think heavy is a balanced class. Larger hitbox and slightly slower speed are not enough of a disadvantage.

Are the average TTKs from range or at point blank? Breakpoints matter.

[old matrix]

Watching the Ape Squad Classics, it def occurred to me that final placings in Cashout should matter a lot, not just whether a team qualifies or not.
To that end, I still think doing RS changes after every ranked round would be a positive, recalibrated for every round depending on who is in it.
In that case, placing 1st in a Cashout round would earn more RS than placing 2nd, which would earn more than 3rd, which would earn more than 4th.
For a greater portion of the time, teams will just be incentivized to earn as much $$$ as possible in a match.
For a greater portion of the time, teams will still have something to play for (e.g., you know you're not going to qualify, but it still matters if you get 3rd instead of 4th).
Finally, it seems obvious that there would be less griefing, as well.
Just like the idea of keeping RS ranges tight by making the size of tournaments adaptive based on the player count (8-team, 4-team, even 2-team tournaments, as warranted), there are simple algorithmic changes that could address major complaints, such as matchmaking or griefing.
In general, please pay more attention to major pain points that simple rule changes could fix overnight. I'd have to be convinced by someone that these are not high ROI opportunities.
* If you want the overall tournament to still 'mean something', add an incremental RS bonus for tournament wins. Have to be careful not to create RS creep for grinding, but easily doable by calibrating the bonuses for each of the rounds ahead of time.

[hollow tree]

For light class make the dash and grapple hook reset the burn tic timer. while making the camo put fire out along side smoke grenades. It would make more sense to have a higher risk vs fire if your using things to make you faster. fire+speed= more fire lmao its literally the opposite of stop drop and roll so it should increase the fire burn time

The crossbow feels like a reskin pike but less recoil,sure it looks cool but feels boring,too similar to pike.The weapon looks like a crossbow but feels like a nail gun

I always suggested a crossbow for heavy with a scope for long range snipes but it is a projectile with high drop off for skill expression.

U can still make it happen make a semi auto harpoon launcher for heavy.

For medium we need a claymore sword with primary attack having wide swings and holding alt deflects some bullets and holding alt and pressing primary attack will cause a downward swing.

If u manage to hit the head then it's critical damage.

How to correctly balance the 93R (its current TTK is awful)

The 93R's current TTK is even worse than it was pre-S5 and in my honest opinion it is subpar versus other light class options (like the ARN, the XP-54, the V9S and the LH1).
This weapon gets out-damaged in most cases by the FAMAS (across all classes), a similar 3-round burst weapon with 4 more rounds in the magazine present in the medium class, which has 100 more HP.
In my opinion it doesn't make sense that the light class burst weapon has... less DPS potential than the medium class burst weapon?

Proposed 93R changes:
Damage: 24** (same)**
Burst delay: 0,275s > 0,23s

This change will result in the following TTKs (Time-to-kill):

Body:
light: 0,81s -> ** 0,72s** (7 shots) (does NOT 2 burst lights with body shots only)
medium: 1.28s -> 1,14s (11 shots)
heavy: 1.74s -> 1,56s (15 shots)

Head:
light: 0.47s -> 0,42s (5 shots)
medium: 0.81s -> 0,72s (7 shots)
heavy: 1.22s -> 1,08s (10 shots)

Damage drop-off minimum range: 30m ->** 27m**
Damage drop-off maximum range: 37.5m ->** 34.5m**
Damage Dropoff Modifier @ Max Range: 50%** (it stays the same)**

These changes will make the weapon solid while not making it overpowered; for comparison, the ARN, a weapon with effectively a 60 round magazine, more range, and fully automatic has TTKs that are on average 10% faster than the 93R. This makes it effectively a completely superior option while being easier to use and way more forgiving. Missing a burst on the 93R means you are extremely penalised in your killing potential. This isn't the case for the ARN.

With these changes, the 93R will not 2 burst lights with body shots only, which was the product of an oversimplified "nuclear" buff made in Season 5.
This proposal will also make the 93R less capable to poke at long range due to lower minimum and maximum drop-off ranges, leaving that task to options such as the ARN and the LH1 (preserves the weapon niche).

[cursive urchin]

Hey Devs / Feedback team,

I wanted to give constructive feedback on controller aim assist, specifically Target Tracking, which is currently set at 35%.

The S1 nerf from 50% down to 35% was a good step toward reducing the sticky feel. However, based on hard data from R5 Reloaded 1v1 servers in Apex Legends, 35% is still way too strong.

For context:

• In R5 (post Season 22 nerf, using 0.3 or 30% rotational aim assist, which is almost identical to what The Finals currently uses at 35%), the numbers are striking:
  • Average controller accuracy: 36.54%
  • Average MNK accuracy: 28.41%
  • That creates an 8+ percentage point gap with a massive effect size (Cohen's d = 2.25).
  • The average controller player is more accurate than over 99% of all MNK players in the dataset.
  • 60% of controller players beat the top 1% of MNK players.
  • Even the best MNK player (around 41% accuracy) only sits around the 42nd percentile of controller players.

These stats come from dedicated players grinding 1v1s with publicly tracked data on r5r.dev. Different games and implementations do not change the core point here.

The Finals features even more aggressive movement than Apex. On top of that, The Finals includes zoom snapping, which Apex does not have. This combination makes the overall aim assist even stronger. If 30% rotational aim assist already creates that level of tracking dominance in R5, then 35% in The Finals is almost certainly still giving controllers an oversized advantage in close to mid range fights.

Suggestion: Please consider dropping Target Tracking further, ideally to 20 to 25% (or even test 15% like some R5 servers that reached much closer parity). It would still feel helpful without turning tracking into autopilot, and it would allow mechanical skill and movement, to shine more.

This is not "controllers are OP" whining. It is purely data driven. Lowering it would make the game healthier and more competitive for everyone in the long term.
