Embark condemned this game a long time ago, this is the state of the game. The matchmaking of Season 2 has been a topic of discussion, but instead of focusing on that aspect, they prefer to invest time in the store or prepare a TGM event for 100 people. The game is in an irreversible state regarding matchmaking due to the number of players it has; to make a fair system, queue times would be like 10 hours or something. The time to fix the matchmaking system passed a long time ago; when they had time to do it, they didn't, they were entertained with other things. I understand that the team analyzing the data in relation to the supposed matchmaking was probably entertained watching Netflix while their paycheck arrived.

The situation is what it is, there's no going back, the game is doomed. And so I said before:

Game in the deepest decadence:
No matchmaking, the most unfair system the video game industry has created is the most appalling thing I have ever seen.
Soft cheats.
Smurfs.
No bans (a real bans).
No room for solo queue.
Server performance on the same level as watching a Commodore 64 run Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Keep focusing on preparing a great and successful TGM26, this is the most important thing for keeping the game alive.

There's something wrong with the spawns

Embark please I beg if you see this, taking away the ranked charms and stickers and giving it to the world tour emerald grind track is dumb. taking those rewards away from people that work hard to get to those ranks in ranked is ridiculous. Donā€™t get me wrong Iā€™m all for making everyone feel included and like they have something to be proud of but at least take this into consideration. Give the hexagonal charms and stickers back to ranked and make the casual world tour charms the circular ones that used to be from quick play then everyone gets them and the people who work hard and grind in ranked get all the rewards they deserve and give them something that is universal and that they can put on every weapon/gadget. I donā€™t know about everyone else but I was proud to have hit plat in my 2nd season and was hella pissed when I didnā€™t get a sticker or charm to show off and I can imagine others are too. Again Iā€™m all of making everyone feel included and happy but making it so I have to hit dia in ranked amd world tour and then stop playing so I donā€™t hit emerald if I want the dia badge and then on top of that not getting my emerald isnt fair. PLEASE MAKE THE WT CHARMS ROUND AND GIVE THE HEXAGONAL ONES BACK TO RANKED

Winch is on the same level of crutch as recon & stun gun. Embark really doesnā€™t know what theyā€™re doing tbh. I think a reasonable compromise would be to at least make it so that you can still shoot at a heavy while being winched. The stun lock behavior of winch is definitely the most abused aspect of it, while I do support its viability to move/defend cashouts.

Y'all, i gotta be real...

I fucking love this game. I'd go as far as to say it's my third favourite EVER. But there's two main problems problem that keeps driving me (and many of you) away:

FOMO: Battle Passes, LTMs, seasonal rewards, etc. etc. just put the game at an ungodly level of grindy. If it reduced FOMO even slightly I wouldn't mind shelling out another Ā£35 ($40) for this game like ARC Raiders.

Anti-Casual Systems: How time-consuming the above are, and the extreme competitiveness of every match regardless of mode. It feels like I'm an average Joe put in the Olympics most times, and it's simply not fun.

Fix your game, Embark. Please, for us all.

Just make the ranked system this, Embark. It keeps Cashout and Final Round as core gamemodes but reduces the effects of griefing and allows players to rank up faster if they've got mastery of both gamemodes (or derank faster if they're particularly struggling)

# shrewd dirge Winch is on the same level of crutch as recon & stun gun. Embark really doesnā€™t ...

Def the best option to entirely remove the stun - itā€™s still insanely valuable for cashout manipulation, and if playing tight together itā€™s still a free kill for the heavy who lands the winch.

Removing the stun will however make it so that landing the winch doesnā€™t basically gift you a free kill in a 1v1 scenario

Purely CC with no stun is the right place to take winch, maybe give it more range to compensate

can we get some way to compress this game from 77 gb? can we also get more movement for the movement class? can we also pretty please not make the classes more like each other? can we get running with the dagger, especially if you guys are planning to make the classes closer in speed, which if you couldn't tell, I think is a horrible idea, and I haven't seen a soul calling for that? also light is stale, but I've said that already as well. there aren't very many things keeping me from continuing to play the finals, I just want some more stuff for light, a minor dagger tweak so you can use different playstyles instead of just dash, and assurance that as you guys keep adding maps and nothing else (let alone for light), that I won't run out of space on my pc

First of all, thank you for the very, very beautiful game. However, I have just one problem: separating PvP from PvE and making it possible to switch between them would be helpful. We face a problem with treachery; we want to know if we are with enemies or friends. I love the spirit of cooperation and friendship. Playing together to kill ark is fun, and I also respect people who like PvP, but please make it possible to switch between PvP and PvE. I also hope that in PvE mode, players cannot kill other players. This is just a suggestion, and people will enjoy the game even more if this idea is implemented. Thank you.

Yo Embark wtf man I just had a ranked game where my teammate disconnected early in the round, then reconnected and we still had a leaving penalty point loss and a ban can you explain and maybe make up for it

old matrix
#

If you can get the player counts to make it work, another option to consider for Ranked:

  • Two Ranked modes: Ranked Final Round (3v3s) and Ranked Cashout (12s)
  • Abandon the tournament format, each becomes a single round mode
  • Each Ranked mode has their own leaderboard
  • Make it possible to earn Ruby in either or both
  • Keep it simple
    The gameshow conceit is great lore and wonderful for unranked World Tour Cashout Tournaments, possibly even for official esports, but why be so insistent on these overly elaborate tournaments when people just want to compete and see where they stack up?
    As it is, you can see the problems with Cashout in competitive play already, and griefing is the least of it. Teaming is already a problem and will likely end up becoming even more so.
    Incidentally, if there was one good thing about the Season 3 Terminal Attack Ranked experience it was simply going in and having one head-to-head match.

Fix Match-making and Quickplay before your player-base implodes due to the frustrations you cause by allowing players to do things like leave matches and rejoin constantly. Even I do it, because these matches are stupid. How can you have absolutely zero punishment for leaving Quickplay matches? Anything to prevent this silliness.

  • Add wallrunning and double jumps for all so everyone can move around the arena like the Pilots from Titanfall 2.

  • Add Rocket Jumping and Grenade jumping by giving all explosives knockback on self, so that players can move around the map like Soldier and Demoman from Team Fortress 2.

  • Similar to both of these games, add an auxillary weapon slot that takes up 2 equipment slots. So you have the option to either have 1 weapon and 4 gadgets as usual, or instead carry 2 weapons and 2 gadgets similar to these games as well as basically all the popular FPS on the market. After all, Finals is notorious for being extremely hard to pick up for newcomers, this would significantly help in accomodating them.

  • Combine Starlight Hollow with PEACE Center and place a castle in the middle of it, and turn the 2 unpopular and underutilized maps into 1 proper Cashout map with a forest biome. Add some ramparts and rocks around to make it less campy.

  • Give Pike .556 to Heavy class. Pike is currently the weakest weapon on Medium, superceded by Repeater and Crossbow in their own ways making it an inferior choice over them in every way. Giving it to Heavy class means Heavy would finally have an actual Marksman class weapon with scope, and since Heavy's potential as poke class is already pretty bad, a bad poke weapon like Pike would be more useful on Heavy than Medium or Light class.

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 360Ā° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant. The server sided calculation of it has been bugged ever since it got introduced but has never been adressed. In the current season flicking the lunge will still yank back your entire camera and make accurate aiming impossible.

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 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.

Ranked reset should be majorly reworked to keep rubies/diamonds in diamond. The first half of the season sucks so much every time because you deliberately erase the skill ratings of high skill players and shove them all into gold/low plat. Just make the ranked rewards into "win X ___ rank tournaments" and we'll enjoy competitive matches for the whole season.

Couple of QOL/community features.

Wish we had access to more weapon and gadget stats; I want to know my playtime, accuracy, headshots with weapons, uses and damage blocked with gadgets, how many quick melee elims we have, and just more concise breakdowns on the career stats in general? Why isnā€™t assists a metric we are able to see? And vault steals/plugs?

Now I know they have this ā€œ8 billion points of dataā€ it irks me how little we have access to, knowing that such a simple thing like a little more data can go a long way with players.

Club highlights, club colour scheme and some simple generic club colour cosmetics, club hub where you can browse recruiting clubs or filter type of club e.g competitive, social, game mode specific. Maybe thereā€™s a highlights page in there where club clips, screenshots and community highlights can be seen.

Itā€™s lore accurate too because surely in a VR world even outside of VR in a sport/contest setting there would be some sort of central hub. You could put all sorts in there: fashion/cosmetic contests and ways for people to post/rate those, private match server list where you can list/see games maybe even spectate, iā€™d love to be able to spectate some games whilst I am afk, could even have twitch feeds of partners.

We needs DMs for friends, even if it is locked to generic replies like ā€œI am unable to play at the momentā€ ā€œI will join you next gameā€ ā€œThanks for the gamesā€ if they want to limit social freedoms for the potential abusers.

Let us change scopes in practice range and maybe casual modes, having to leave and restart the range just to change scope seems really inefficient and breaks the fluidity of the game.

Improve Ranked Matchmaking for Veterans
High-level Ranked matches are currently being filled with brand-new players. This creates an unfair and frustrating experience for everyone.
My Proposal:
Please implement a separate "New Player Queue" or specific servers for beginners until they reach a certain career level. Ranked mode should be kept for players who have mastered the basics to maintain competitive integrity.
We love the game and want to keep playing, but the current matchmaking is driving dedicated players away. Thank you!

How to correctly balance the 93R

The recent 93R changes made it an overpowered light deleter while having basically no effect on the classes it struggles against, which are medium and heavy. Hence, Embark needs to look at other ways to balance it rather than altering the damage.
This can be done by making the burst delay shorter, which will make it more viable against ALL classes while not making it overpowered versus lights.

Proposed 93R changes:
RPM - 1000 (current cycle rate)
Damage: 24** (revert from 25 back to 24)**
Burst delay: 0,284s > 0,235s (RPM 210 -> 260)

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

Body:
light: 0,52s -> ~ ** 0,71s** (7 shots) (does NOT 2 burst lights with body shots only)
medium: 1.21s -> ~ 1,12s (11 shots)
heavy: 1.68s -> ~ 1,54s (15 shots)

Head:
light: 0.40s -> ~ 0,415s (5 shots)
medium: 0.81s -> ~ 0,71s (7 shots)
heavy: 1.21s -> ~ 1,065s (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)**

Keep the mag size at** 21** to preserve the 93R's punishing nature.

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 (except light). 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.

I feel the need to mention that the 93R had these TTKs in this proposal until patch 2.9.0, yet it wasn't used because of its high recoil and lower range than the XP-54 at the time. So it wouldn't be an unprecedented change. We now have better range and lower recoil, so now is the time to truly balance this weapon once and for all.

I use the cl-40 and only using that got to diamond with it

the weapon lacks any ttk on other M & H (this is fine btw)

( keep in mind the only weapon 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 to be slightly faster i am fine with less splash damage but plz then make it more in line with what u have said for wanting direct hits with it

Dev Note: The CL-40ā€™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.

I would also love 2 see data reshaper cool down to be faster ( I do not use it but it takes 28s to come back feels it should be faster if u want more out of it )

aps buff to make the area it blocks lager or let it take more projectiles out as well

Add an auxillary weapon slot for all classes, with any of the following restrictions:

  • Takes up 2 equipment slots so players get 2 weapons and 2 gadgets like every other multiplayer FPS and making it easier to pick up for newcomers from those games, or

  • 60 second cooldown+Empty reload on weapon swap to make sure players stay back when running out of ammo instead of pushing in with the 2nd weapon, or

  • Equipped as a gadget with only 1 mag in reserve and 60 second cooldown for a new mag to make it usable only during critical moments

  • Only shotguns, melee weapons and grenade launchers available for that slot making it more niche and limiting it's versatility

More than one restrictions may be needed, however an auxillary weapon slot is necessary for the game. An extra weapon slot would make offmeta, niche weapons more useful outside solo queue and would make weapon balancing much less annoying, as too many weapons depend on unfair exploits to be usable by the average player without team coordination. While team coordination would make this even more powerful, overall everyone would be more powerful with available counterplays to make up for their own and team's weakness, making the game more fair for everyone. Everyone gets more powerful, so overall balance stays intact while also reducing dependency on teammates for critical wins.

hey man, if i lose 100 games in a row cause im bad that's fine, if i win a close game that's awesome, fantastic even
but like yall keep adding all these wack a doo doo teammates on my team, some of them take 2-3 business days to turn 180, while stacking 4-5 diamonds on the other team so we get spawn camp half the match, and then another game u get me another lobby with all new players on the other team and they cant even break 1 grand vault, a pity fabricated W

what is the game trying to communicate here? are you shooing me away or telling me to buy more to get premium treatment, what is it? i as well as many others have money to spend but like this is some really bad faith behavior, do you guys hate people who play your game or sth ? In the past few days im playing less and less, i may stop giving a fk eventually (good riddance ik), at this rate may just go back to play all the bootleg mobile fps from my backwater country. Cant have shit on the internet nowaday cause all the old devs believe in that engagement matchmaking bs, like did that shit ever get tested in a team based game ? I imagine it would work so much better if it's a 1v1 type shit but when im designed to lose thru no fault of mine but a rigged set of 15 other people, i just want to find where u (dev) live and go there to have a heart to heart conversation, as in im gonna rip out yours and put it close to mine (in minecraft ofc)
wah, sr, it's so hard to be nice with yall while playing your game, im sure u understand. anyway pls fix that instead of cranking it harder to spite us

My sword rework idea:

A) a mechanic where either perfectly timed swings would have an audio/visual queue and do higher damage, and/or if there was a "sweet spot" on the weapon where if I'm hitting someone with the tip I do more damage than if I'm hitting with the hilt.

B) Another thing you could do with it is maybe give it combos and more animations, ie cancelling the lunge with a swing does a different animation, or swinging from crouch/slide/air does different animations and different damage. Leading to several different optimized kill combos for different classes based on how you entered.

3 things, first, FIX. THE. MATCHMAKING.

Welp I didn't think I could do it but I finally uninstalled, I first played in season one and have played consistently since season 3. It really saddens me but this game brings me nothing but pain anymore lost the fun factor through all the diamond-ruby ranked/tryhards in "casual", smurfs, stale meta, unreasonable nerfs/buffs and terrible matchmaking. I question Embark's intentions or care for this game nowadays having more cosmetics (generally reskins/recolors) added to the game than actual content or fixes for known issues. Most of my friends have quit for similar reasons that or the issues with the game won't allow them to play anymore due to their lower hardware. Again I loved this game and what it was but considering most times I play it at least in recent seasons I find it hard to relax and enjoy the game, I still wish to play The Finals as there is no other game like it and the gunplay/destructible environments are amazing but it has simply left me with a stockholme syndrome kinda feeling. Again I wish the best for The Finals and its future but as of now it just ain't worth the increase in cortisol and the constant hopium that next season will be better just to be likely disappointed again. I hope to return one day but as of now I don't see that being likely, for now though have a good one yall. hug_friend

seriously considering it myself for many of the same reasons, and I've been playing multiple nights a week since season 2. The meta is broken, tryhards are all over casual making it impossible to move without getting ripped apart (as a heavy) by a squad of three lights that appear simultaneously out of nowhere, the heavy hints from the devs that melee should go away,

I will keep saying, buffs are fun, nerfs just make me stop using it.

I'm a heavy main and I'm starting to play light just because I can at least stay on the playfield and zoom towards a dead friend, pick them up, zoom away and revive them, it's like all we can do at this point to keep each other alive, much less worry about objectives. I've rage-quit multiple times this season, and I think up until season 10 I rage-quit exactly once

I don't speak much English, but here goes. Iā€™ve noticedā€”and I get the feeling you already know thisā€”that the game has a serious issue with character rendering. When you get killed, the FPS skyrockets even if youā€™re loading the map (with most graphics settings on low, actually, except for rendering, which is on high, of course), and there are enemies around you, and just being in spectator mode boosts the FPS a ton. They should look into that and see whatā€™s going on, and if they fix it, maybe The Finals could reach more computers, where people canā€™t always afford more powerful hardware. I honestly donā€™t know if this is the specific issue, but the moment your character is eliminated and switches to spectator mode, the FPS skyrockets. šŸ™‚

this might be a bit of a hot take, but i think that the cashbox should have some overtime while its being stolen to make it possible to get a steal in the last few seconds of the cashbox. those last few seconds always end up being weird and just creates some downtime where the box doesn't even need to be defended, and its annoying when you get a team wipe but dont have enough time to finish the steal on the box. having some overtime can make the system feel more intuitive and also would make the last few seconds actually matter to defend the box

yes, if my entire team gets wiped then i think its reasonable for the other team to get the vault

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 360Ā° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant. The server sided calculation of it has been bugged ever since it got introduced but has never been adressed. In the current season flicking the lunge will still yank back your entire camera and make accurate aiming impossible.

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 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.

How to correctly balance the 93R

The recent 93R changes made it an overpowered light deleter while having basically no effect on the classes it struggles against, which are medium and heavy. Hence, Embark needs to look at other ways to balance it rather than altering the damage.
This can be done by making the burst delay shorter, which will make it more viable against ALL classes while not making it overpowered versus lights.

Proposed 93R changes:
RPM - 1000 (current cycle rate)
Damage: 24** (revert from 25 back to 24)**
Burst delay: 0,284s > 0,235s (RPM 210 -> 260)

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

Body:
light: 0,52s -> ~ ** 0,71s** (7 shots) (does NOT 2 burst lights with body shots only)
medium: 1.21s -> ~ 1,12s (11 shots)
heavy: 1.68s -> ~ 1,54s (15 shots)

Head:
light: 0.40s -> ~ 0,415s (5 shots)
medium: 0.81s -> ~ 0,71s (7 shots)
heavy: 1.21s -> ~ 1,065s (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)**

Keep the mag size at** 21** to preserve the 93R's punishing nature.

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 (except light). 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.

I feel the need to mention that the 93R had these TTKs in this proposal until patch 2.9.0, yet it wasn't used because of its high recoil and lower range than the XP-54 at the time. So it wouldn't be an unprecedented change. We now have better range and lower recoil, so now is the time to truly balance this weapon once and for all.

Goo gun nerf before winch nerf. It just shows how delusional developers are. Goo even not that popular, yet it still get nerfed for some reason, making complex gameplay less viable, while making one-shot dumb tactics more and more reliable. This devs are cooked, they DONT listen to community, until it's too late or they make the dumbest decision. Recent AMA stream really showed it. (Or probably they are avoiding biggest problems, bcz they can't solve it)

mellow narwhal
#

This update has some wā€™s but also some questionable changes:

Vanish bomb nerf is very good having invis and dash is insanely broke and Iā€™d much rather a rework to vanish bomb to something else to reduce the amount of invis in the game

M11 nerf is questionable the gun already required good recoil control for range kills and decent aim up close, it was still outclassed by xp, v9s, 93r, lh1 etc

Shockwave being reverted so you can do movement tech is amazing generally keep this idea in mind when balancing more things with tech (tech = skill expression itā€™s a lot more fun for players to have skill expression in the game other wise the game becomes cod 218375 )

No winch nerf is very upsetting as it by a mile out classes all heavy specs thanks to it almost guaranteeing a free kill /dmg, proposed change would be to remove the stun and/or nerf the range, it should not be a spec you throw out instantly in every fight (thatā€™s a crutch and no one likes crutches)

  • Soft cheats.
  • Smurfs.
  • No bans (a real bans).
  • No room for solo queue.
  • Server performance on the same level as watching a Commodore 64 run Microsoft Flight Simulator.
  • Kyoto map still here.

# signal basin - Vanish nerf - M11 nerf - V9S nerf FFS stop nerf every light weapons and just ...

They buffed the XP by 1 damage a season or two ago and it was immediately OP. If anything they could potentially increase effective range by changing the damage dropoff distance, but damage needs to stay where itā€™s currently at.

Hard agree that winch needs a nerf, itā€™s too frequently a free win button in a 1v1 like charge and slam used to be (back when it did 130dmg per hit).

I think the ideal change is to entirely remove the winch stun and instead give it back some range or slight cooldown buff - that way itā€™s still massively useful as a cashout manipulation and CC tool, but doesnā€™t gift you the 1v1.

There will still be scenarios where the winch is basically an instant kill, but at the very least the winching heavy needs to have teammates right next to him to pull this off.

# empty zodiac Goo gun nerf before winch nerf. It just shows how delusional developers are. Goo...

On top of this, the thing they were trying to nerf, which is using a whole magazine to stall someone is still doable. The biggest impact this has is still on using goo gun with close range weapons to close the gap. They COULD have done what every goo gun player has been suggesting and have each consecutive goo stun on the same player stun for less time, but instead we just get a major nerf to the least used specialization in the game, but of course when nerfing the m11, they make sure to also give it a minimum range buff to make sure it remains the most used light weapon.

  • Revert goo change. You're killing goo gun as a whole since you cant cocoon yourself anymore or run away as easily. You're taking the most fun spec and most interesting forms of skill expression in all of gaming and killing it. Goo stun is a genuine non-issue since only loadout that relies on it is goo sledge, and sledge is a melee weapon where they have to put in insane amounts of effort just to stay alive. There will always be people complaining no matter what. But its much better to have a game in which the fun things still exist even if a few people complain about something that is literally just skill issue.
  • Bring back Head2Head. Quick Cash is a terrible game mode in general. Getting 3rd partied is the absolute most frustrating thing in this game, why would I want to play a mode that is solely about 3rd parties?? Head2Head was a lot shorter, more fun, great for warming up, trying out new loadouts, practicing final round, etc...
  • Increase your marketing budget by at least a dollar, PLEASE.
  • Ban smurfs.
  • Make it so that rubies can ONLY queue up with and against other rubies or diamonds. Ruby should be an exclusive league where only the truly best are. No Ruby should be queueing up with golds in order to boost and be paired up with plats. It's not fun for the rubies since it's not challenging, and its not fun for the rest of the player base. Rubies, plats, golds, and gold should NEVER be in the same game. No exceptions.

Hello Embark,
After reading the patch notes, Iā€™m honestly surprised to see no changes regarding the winch.

Right now, itā€™s extremely frustrating to play against: getting grabbed around corners, sometimes even through walls, often results in a free kill for the Heavy. It really needs some reworking to make it feel more consistent and fair to fight against.

The same goes for the Lightā€™s Healing Infuser ā€” how has this still not been nerfed? Being able to fully heal a Heavy (or anyone else) in less than two seconds feels way too strong, especially in certain team compositions.

Thanks in advance for your work and for listening to the community.

Couldnt agree more to this reply, and if permagoostun is unfair you could implement so many better changes. Like gostun decresing incrementally if repeatedly beeing hit: 0.8-0.7-0.6-0.5-0.4-0.3 and capping at 0.4,3 or even 0.2. But this change is just so lazy and takes so much away of this spec

yeah dev team has gone hard incompetent since early seasons

its been SEVEN seasons since the last melee weapon was added

since then melee has been continually gutted

been playing since s2, mained sledge since s3, the quality of my playstyle and the overarching macro game has deteriorated significantly

the game has lost its sandbox potential as they continuously nerf niche playstyles like goo (which by the way, was not oppressive, and there were dozens of proposed reworks but they refuse to indulge them in light of the competitive community which has the game by the neck)

speaking of, season 1 and open beta was significantly more fun than the current game and i wholely believe if they reverted the game to day one the playercounts would go up significantly, because with all of their pandering to the competitive community, theyve killed any ounce of tech and "fun factor" even if it was unbalanced because big surprise, not everyone wants a clean balanced game, sometimes people just want FUN, i remember when seeing a sledge player actually gave you a sense of "i should run" or lights actually felt like glass cannons so getting killed by them just incited anger i(in a good way imo) and killing them felt just that much better

but apparently everything has to be serene and balanced (because thats what rubies want, theres literally a discord call essentially of rob giving the high level players permission to cheat saying their anticheat doesnt flag them, the reason sword got gutted btw was because of rubies, same with goo gun)

i dont think people realize this; nearly almost every balance decision since season 3 has been decided by the competitive community, thats why this games casual community is so horrible and the competitive one is so competitive

its nothing to do with skill floor the devs have artificially killed off niches until only a "meta" remained

I got kicked by AntiCheat because of OBS capturing the Game Window mode instead of my whole Desktop Monitor.

Got kicked out of the game the other day for No reason at all. In My POV said Server Error when I returned to the menu. But for a friend in the Lobby said it was something about fair play whatever.

Get the AntiCheat right and validate what software can be open (like OBS, everyone has OBS come on)

I'm done with this game, it is really good but just "on paper". Nothing about matchmaking, nothing about aimassit, nothing about cheaters or smurf or boosting that was usefull for me to stay. You can say "like other game" but i was done with the other long time ago. Game industry is broken by design even if a game is really good it is not fair. The 5 hours cool down here is talking by itself, shut down freespeech of what we really feel. The game is not fun anymore. I quit.

Its a poor and frustrating experience for both long-time player and new player when you smoosh them together to form a team that never stands a chance against the enemy team due to them not having a new player. These guys spend 8 minutes struggling to do anything, possibly 2 kills in an entire TDM is normal to see from new players, with up to 12 deaths being normal, and 20-30 being ONLY uncommon to see if they're a Light that's especially pushing solo frequently. Youre creating a toxic environment where people just get frustrated with one another because skill isn't being considered at all.

ANd could do a hashtag to promote it, allow those to rep their finals stickers, and hopefully get more players into the finals.

Really Embark?! So many of us wrote entire paragraphs explaining why changing goo from 0.8 to 0.2 was killing play styles. We offered solutions like ā€œnerf the amo count on goo gun to prevent permanent goo stun,ā€ or ā€œmaybe make it 0.6 seconds,ā€ but you didnā€™t listen at all. Nerfing it down to 0.35 just kills all sorts of play styles reliant on goo stun, including heavy melee, dagger, and heavyā€™s defensive abilities with goo gun. There is now no point in running goo gun. The goo already breaks incredibly fast and now people could just rush a goo gun user and there is nothing they could do. The term ā€œEvil Valveā€ really fits you guys the way that you eliminate cool and fun tech just for the sake of control.

played since 2nd beta, tired of the bad balancing with the destructive nerfs instead of preserving the dynamic gameplay. I uninstalled because of this recent 10.6 update and how much they really didn't care about the melee communities input on the stun mechanics. the community literally offered alternatives to nerf the goo gun, but nope lets just indirectly tear down goo grenades as well right? this sort of balancing has been constant since the start of my time playing this game and I think this balance philosophy that embark has is something that is destructive to its games. which makes me not want to touch another game made by embark if they keep killing whatever unique mechanics that are there intentional or not.

Hey embark you guys removed all of the dlc from the Xbox store and I've had the TFCP0005 error when purchasing since season 1. I've tried 3 times to get it fixed but your customer support is basically non existent and the one time I got past the AI to talk to a person they didn't even read the full convo and closed the ticket before i could ever even respond to them. The Xbox store was the only way I could purchase dlc packs for the game and now I am literally being told I am not allowed to give you money. It's really infuriating cause like I want to give you my damn money, money is in my hand, the skin is in your hands, just let me hand you my damn money. Now even the work around has been blocked so I am completely unable to just give you money for a skin.

In light of trying out the goo changes, I cannot believe you for some reason hate melees being used on off meta specs that you would destroy the goo+sledge combo so completely.
You seem to think that the only viable spec should be winch as you base all your melee changes on heavy based on the winch and every other combo gets caught in the crossfire. SO FOR SOME REASON making goo gun unviable with melee is your solution.
There were so many other ways to nerf goo stun chains and this definitely wasnt one of them.
If you actually listened to any goo heavy you would hear "yes i feel like i commit war crimes doing goo stun and there MIGHT need to be changes" and we would say something along the lines of "make subsequent goo stuns shorter and shorter if chained in a row" or even me suggesting we could just make goo blobs phase through players, preserving the length of a stun but making it harder to block the head, meaning to stop steals you'd have to goo the feet then stack another one on top to goo the head.
It is unbelievably obvious that you both do not know what or how to balance melee or even heavy and you dont even ask players if they have nerf suggestions.

and let me remind you about suvivorship bias as I go play overwatch and start to watch this game burn down as you make your "relaunch" which has started off terribly and I now believe you guys vibe code your updates considering how broken random BS is every time like slide and forgetting to add you tried to nerf shockwave.

Subject: Feature Request - Adding "Total Assists" to the Career Profile Card
"The current Career Profile in THE FINALS lacks a key metric that defines team play: Total Assists. While Kills, Deaths, and Revives are important, they don't tell the full story of a player's contribution to their team.
Adding 'Assists' to the Career Card is necessary for several reasons:

  1. Highlighting Teamwork: Assists are the primary indicator of how well a player coordinates and supports their teammates during combat.
  2. Class Balance representation: Roles like the Heavy and Medium often focus on high damage output and area control, frequently setting up kills for others. Excluding assists devalues their impact.
  3. Rewarding the 'Playmaker': Many players focus on tactical support rather than just final blows. A complete profile should reflect this 'Playmaker' stats to provide a fair assessment of skill.
    We urge the development team to include Total Assists in the career overview to better celebrate the collaborative spirit of THE FINALS."

Did anyone else experience an uptick in hackers yesterday? I was doing point break with friends and 5/6 of our matches had some obvious cheaters.

We typically fight hackers like one game a day but yesterday was infuriating

I was thinking of a rework for Turret that involves barrels for example you can pick up a fire barrel and insert it into and it becomes a turret that starts to shoot like fire like from flamethrower and that can happen with all the other barrels as well and for like the gas barrel in like a 8m 360Ā° it spreads gas around itself so you can put it on top of cash out and it will admit gas from 8 m away 360Ā° around it

M11 still needs to be nerfed more

narrow socket
#

Greetings Embark. I have been enjoying the game for the most part. There are a few issues that I think could use a little adjusting. First, a light with dash, cloaking, and swords is almost impossible to defend against. This is especially true if you are a new FPS player. This is the first FPS game I have played and have found that the 3-combo I mentioned is far too overpowered. If they had to do far more attacks to get a kill it might not be as bad. Next, I played as a heavy using the two pistols. I could not believe for a moment that I completely missed every shot from both guns at almost point blank range. I am starting to question the quality of the game when things like this happen. Along the same lines, I had an issue with the grenade launcher on the medium. I am not sure if that weapon was nerfed, but if I get someone down to two bars and land a shot at their feet, how are they supposed to walk away from that and kill me. I have been side-by-side with opponents and we are both low on health and a shot at the ground between us only kills me. Really? Please take a look at some of those weapons and their accuracy. Thanks for taking the time to read this, if you do.

Constructive suggestion:

Considering most players read top to bottom, left to right.

In the World Tour menu,

Why not move ā€œPracticeā€ to the top of the screen where ā€œCore Modesā€ is located?

The middle stays ā€œQuick Playā€.

Swapping Ranked/Cashout position with Practice Range/ Private Match would inherently benefit all players.

KEEP THE RANKED MATCHMAKING AS IS, IT IS WORKING, I NEVER IMAGINED SEEING MYSELF GET +RP

arctic olive
#

The ranked system is genuinely awful right now. Itā€™s basically just a grief simulator, especially once you get into high Plat to low Diamond and above. Your attempt at ā€œdouble jeopardyā€ only made the griefing problem worse.

For example, if youā€™re in 2nd place with 32k cash and 1st place has 36k, you basically end up in a 1v3 against the rest of the lobby. The bottom two teams need a chance to qualify, so they focus on doubling your cashout, while the team in 1st also benefits from griefing you out to secure their spot. Because of that, a team that realistically doesnā€™t deserve to move on can suddenly qualify just because of a final-minute team-up situation.

A lot of competitive players would probably agree that this isnā€™t competitive or fair in any way. It makes no sense for the weakest teams in the lobby to still have a chance purely because they can temporarily ā€œteamā€ with the team in 1st place.

On a completely different topic, why are there still 24 players in a ranked match when the game doesnā€™t even have 5k active ranked players? Then people wonder why matchmaking is so bad and why Gold players are getting matched against Rubies. Having two knockout rounds in a game with a relatively small ranked player base just doesnā€™t make sense.

This message isnā€™t meant as hate toward Embark at all. I genuinely love the game for what it is, and I think it has a ton of potential if the competitive scene gets fixed.

No, I don't mean the game itself when you enter spectator mode, as I mentioned beforeā€”since your character isn't rendered, the FPS goes way up. What I mean is that in this area, we're losing significant FPS that could help improve in-game optimization, since not every PC runs this game really well, Anyway, to sum it up, I mean that if thereā€™s a problem or whatever happens when your character is rendered and the FPS drops compared to spectator mode when you get wiped, you should investigate that and, if it can be improved, do so, since the game would be more suitable for those PCs that donā€™t run it quite as well.

Also, Iā€™m using a Ryzen 7 7700, an RX 9060 XT, 16 GB of RAM, and of course the game is on an SSD, I have 16 GB of RAM and will be adding another 16 GB module soon.

There are waaaaaaaay too many suspicious low level accounts. Alternate/smurf account players need to be permanently banned across all accounts. Keeping cheaters and exploiters out of the game is what's going to bring this game over the top. Right now I can't trust that I players aren't exploiting when I see low level accounts like level 11, 16, 12, 4, and they are playing like a level 100+. Expert map knowledge, better than all the other 100+ level players in the same match. This is what's going to kill your game if you don't address this immediately.

If u really played it, u wouldn't be saying garbage like that.

The gamemode is pretty fair, grapple and bow is nerfed (along with other weapons and gadgets) accordingly to make the match balanced, and IT IS.
By no means is range in this mode broken.. I've more often had easier time playing melee, than mage or ranger.
If u cant catch any lights, by just counter picking with a warrior, it's just a skill issue atp.

I've played this mode a lot, and it was clearly designed like RPG, need tank, healer and dps... And when that happens, it's the most fun!!
I'm all for being critical towards Embark, but this is not one of those times šŸ™‚ we finally got something different and refreshing.

i've seen this bug before but it's really prominent now, almost every round, there's issues with player identities. in three rounds of the new game mode, i've seen

  • multiple players named PLAYERNAME
  • players on the opposing team named the same as me or my teammates
  • multiple people on my team named the same thing
  • player portraits at the end of the round copied from mine onto the other players, with just different backgrounds
    none of these issues appear in the tab menu or bottom left, that's all fine - but the names above player heads, the before-round-start menu, etc, are broken as hell

I love the new LTM modeā€”it might be the best one since Heavy Hitters. Like Cashball was a good idea, but it depended so much on the matchmaking giving you a good team. Pretty much every match was a blowout. This mode has a lot more depth, and the matches donā€™t usually feel very one-sided. That said, I do think it could do with some improvements to the loadouts. Basically the Barbarian and Rogue are the meta. The Warrior is usable but not nearly as good, the Paladin is useful but highly situational and dependent on team comp, and the Mage is almost entirely useless. Not too sure of the best way to fix this but itā€™s just kind of a shame that an entire loadout is never played and for good reason

Couldn't join a single game for over an hour. All regions. Fully verified install. No VPN. Restarted PC.

Your servers suck, Embark. How "Server Not Responding; We cannot connect you to a match" , waiting loops, connection timeouts and all the triggered server codes doesn't trigger a single alarm to your support teams is honestly baffling. Even for gd Practice Range... Embarrassing.

Everytime I feel like playing the game that you so willingly neglect and ream through all its ends, you find a way to fuck it up in a new way.

I genuinely don't know why I bother giving this game another second of my time. The gameplay can be great. The community is arguably great. I will never shun the music or the sound design (cept Merry League, fuck that track).

...but Embark, I just want to play a fucking match. Not be bombarded with fomo shit, shitty matchmaking, and even shittier servers.

  • Add wallrunning and double jumps for all so everyone can move around the arena like the Pilots from Titanfall 2.

  • Add Rocket Jumping and Grenade jumping by giving all explosives knockback on self, so that players can move around the map like Soldier and Demoman from Team Fortress 2.

Also, like the aforementioned games, add an auxillary weapon slot for all classes as well, with any of the following restrictions:

  • Takes up 2 equipment slots so players get 2 weapons and 2 gadgets like every other multiplayer FPS and making it easier to pick up for newcomers from those games, or

  • 60 second cooldown+Empty reload on weapon swap to make sure players stay back when running out of ammo instead of pushing in with the 2nd weapon, or

  • Equipped as a gadget with only 1 mag in reserve and 60 second cooldown for a new mag to make it usable only during critical moments

  • Only shotguns, melee weapons and grenade launchers available for that slot making it more niche and limiting it's versatility

More than one restrictions may be needed, however an auxillary weapon slot is necessary for the game. An extra weapon slot would make offmeta, niche weapons more viable outside premade team comps and make weapon balancing much less annoying, since the secondary weapon would cover the shortcomings of the main weapon. Overall everyone would be more powerful with available counterplays to make up for their own and team's weakness, making the game more fair for everyone. Everyone gain an equal amount of power, so overall balance stays intact while also reducing frustrations of soloqueue and smurfs by improving individual player agency.

Dear Embark Studios Design Team,
To ensure the long-term viability of THE FINALS as a premier tier-1 competitive shooter, we propose a strategic recalibration of core gameplay mechanics. The following "Evolution Protocol" is designed to incentivize skill-expression, reward aggression, and optimize the tactical flow of every match:
I. The Combat Fluidity Initiative (1.5% Regeneration Offset)
ā€¢ Mechanical Shift: Implement a 1.5% reduction in Health Regeneration Delay for every elimination secured.
ā€¢ Strategic Intent: To mitigate the "Third-Party Vulnerability" window by rewarding successful engagements with faster recovery.
II. High-Octane Pacing (The 3X Combat Streak)
ā€¢ Mechanical Shift: Introduction of a 3X Elimination Streak system with a strict 12-second decay threshold.
ā€¢ Strategic Intent: To eliminate objective stagnation. If a team fails to engage within 12 seconds, the momentum resets, forcing a proactive combat rhythm.
III. The 12% Survival Mastery (Perks at 5 Kills Without Dying)
ā€¢ Mechanical Shift: Class-specific "Performance Multipliers" triggered ONLY upon securing 5 consecutive eliminations without being defeated:
ā€¢ Heavy Class: Grants a 12% Movement Speed increase.
ā€¢ Medium Class: Grants a 12% Max HP augmentation (Total 280 HP).
ā€¢ Light Class: Grants a 12% Max HP augmentation (Total 168 HP).
ā€¢ Strategic Intent: Rewards "Survival Mastery," granting a tactical edge to players who maintain dominance without dying.
IV. Environmental Intelligence (Tactical Mini-Map)
ā€¢ Mechanical Shift: Integration of a real-time HUD Mini-Map revealing acoustic signatures (unsuppressed fire).
ā€¢ Strategic Intent: To raise the skill ceiling regarding spatial awareness and discourage static "corner-camping."
V. Integrity-First Spawning (Infrastructure Overhaul)
Mechanical Shift: Deployment of a dynamic, randomized, and safety-validated spawn algorithm Strategic Intent: To eradicate Spawn-Lock scenarios and ensure equitable entry points

I use the cl-40 and only using that got to diamond with it

the weapon lacks any ttk on other M & H (this is fine btw)

( keep in mind the only weapon 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 to be slightly faster i am fine with less splash damage but plz then make it more in line with what u have said for wanting direct hits with it

Dev Note: The CL-40ā€™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.

I would also love 2 see data reshaper cool down to be faster ( I do not use it but it takes 28s to come back feels it should be faster if u want more out of it )

aps buff to make the area it blocks lager or let it take more projectiles out as well

Light since the S10 start:

  • M11 nerf
  • Dash nerf
  • Vanishing bomb nerf
  • V9S nerf
  • H+ infuser nerf

All of this was not necessary but got a huge impact on the class. Meanwhile all the "buff" light are completly useless except maybe the 93R. M26 and SH buff are useless. XP buff is useless. Nullifier or grapple too.

This season 10 is a "Medium Fantasy". The balance team is M main and can't clearly balance the game correctly.

The Spearā€™s cap on player and non-player hits is a great direction towards buffing the spear. I believe that itā€™s fine the way it is except for two very tiny and minor yet important changes that are both quality of life changes and indirect damage buffs.

  • +8% movement speed to the current movement speed during the spin attack.
  • 0.075s faster spin attack during the final swing.

For the first point, the speed cap during the spin attack is necessary; however, itā€™s very difficult to push or pull away in fights as it keeps the spear player too stationary. As for the second point, the reason why I suggest a faster last hit in the spin attack is because there are many fights in which 0.15s or a 0.1s makes a difference. Iā€™m suggest a 0.075s speed buff to give the player a better experience and a better chance at winning a fight or doing as much damage as possible. Thatā€™s also not pushing it to being too fast,

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 360Ā° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant. The server sided calculation of it has been bugged ever since it got introduced but has never been adressed. In the current season flicking the lunge will still yank back your entire camera and make accurate aiming impossible.

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 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.

ā€‹Title: A Strategic Roadmap & 35 Innovative Proposals to Revive THE FINALS: Insights from the Middle East Community
ā€‹Dear Embark Studios Team,
I am writing to you as a dedicated player of THE FINALS since Day 1, and as a representative voice for a passionate community of fans in the Middle East. We believe this game is a masterpiece that has yet to reach its full global potential.
ā€‹The core issue we face is long matchmaking wait times. We believe growing the player base, especially in the untapped Middle East market, is the ultimate solution. Here is a collection of 35 ideas to revive the spirit of the game:
ā€‹ā³ Part 1: Turning Wait Times into Playtime
ā€‹The Studio Black Market: Move teams into an interactive lobby to place "Virtual Bets" on live matches, engage in 30-second "Micro-Duels," or use a "Target Wall."
ā€‹Passion Rewards: A scaling XP/currency multiplier that increases with queue time.
ā€‹The Virtual Heckler: Scotty or a new character mocking embarrassing stats in a humorous way during the wait.

Embark removed all creativeness and fun.

Players don't play cloak cause they prefer more movement and nerfing vanish bombs isn't gonna fix that!

Bow projectile is too slow.

Revert dash and leave it like it was before.

why do u not even address the inbalance in ranked play? each lobby turns into 3 teams fighting together because no one wants to face the rubies. all the while u get severely punished for losing.

on top of that theres so blatant cheaters but u do nothing. just beware if u shit on a pro team(chickenphobia) and u and ur mates are permabanned within 13 hours.

such a fucking joke system

midseason patch full of nothing and just making ranked worse XD u are such a fucking joke company

a game in which out of 8 teams only 1 can win, u make such a system that punishes the losing teams so fucking much. in a game where the literal meta is griefing and unfairness. u lose over 1k rs for 8th place and 800 for 1st. 3 round wins to get 800. who the fuck came up with that? and u made the RS losses even fucking worse with ur full of nothing midseason patch. smurfs, cheaters, rubies playing with golds. just its insane how u even manage to bake such a shitcake

u are so out of touch with reality

im gonna make sure i make as many people stay away from this game as possible, hope no one plays this enough to know how dogshit it is

VI. Optimized Objective Transition (The 15-Second Efficiency Rule)
ā€¢ Mechanical Shift: Prohibit team respawns at a Cashout station with less than 15 seconds remaining on the timer.
ā€¢ Solution: Automatically pivot deployment to the Next Active Vault.
VII. New Utility: The Rapid Gadget Refresher (RGR)
ā€¢ Mechanical Shift: A new equippable gadget (available to all classes) that, when activated, instantly recharges the cooldown of the player's Loadout Gadgets (e.g., RPG, Dome Shield, Defibrillator, Grenades).
ā€¢ Strategic Intent: This provides a critical tactical reset, rewarding strategic resource management in high-pressure situations.
VIII. Ranked Integrity: "Daily Shield" Protocol
ā€¢ Mechanical Shift: The first Ranked match of the day grants a "Rank Point Shield," protecting the player from any point deductions if they are eliminated early.
ā€¢ Strategic Intent: To encourage daily participation and reduce the "entry-anxiety" of the first match, allowing players to warm up without the fear of immediate rank demotion.
IX. Performance Momentum: Ranked Carry-Over Protection
ā€¢ Mechanical Shift:
ā€¢ Finalist Bonus: Reaching the Final Round reduces potential point loss in the next match by 50%.
ā€¢ Champion's Immunity: Winning 1st Place grants complete point-loss immunity in the next match, regardless of the outcome.
ā€¢ Strategic Intent: To reward consistency. High-performing teams should feel the "momentum" of their victory, providing a safety net that acknowledges their previous success even if the following match is unfavorable.

I love the change of disabling trigger-hold delay on shotguns, but can we please apply this to the CL-40 as well? It constantly misfires because of this feature, and it's way more punishing than the shotguns because it often makes me damage myself

keen owl
#

I play on console and the performance has been terrible lately. Whenever I get into a fight, the game freezes completely and only starts working again once Iā€™ve already been killed. It happens most often in competitive modes like Ranked and Cash Out, which makes those modes almost unplayable.

When the game actually works, itā€™s genuinely really fun, which makes the performance issues even more frustrating. Right now though, it feels impossible to enjoy a game thatā€™s supposed to be competitive when freezes and lag decide fights before skill does.

At the moment, the experience feels badly optimised for console players. It honestly seems like the only people able to enjoy the game consistently are players with extremely high-end PCs and perfect internet. I really hope performance and stability become a bigger priority because the core gameplay has a lot of potential.

but i cant swap between them, without changing every single weapon/gadget skin every time

having the option to tie them to the outfits would be nice

Suggestion for medium.

Adding a gadget or spec that is a deployable item that boosts movement speed and/or increases bullet dmg by a set percentage would be interesting.

It could be stationary or could be tethered to the player and effect everyone in an aoe.

Additionally, I also think a smaller throwable horizontal shield that functions like a dome shield for medium would be pretty cool. Of course it would have less hp and only covers one side instead of 360 degrees.

Game in the deepest decadence:

  • No matchmaking, the most unfair system the video game industry has created is the most appalling thing I have ever seen (gold and platinum solo queue vs diamonds reaching ruby, ruby or esports players in stack/team... such a system aberration is impressive)
  • Soft cheats.
  • Smurfs.
  • No bans (a real bans).
  • No room for solo queue.
  • Server performance on the same level as watching a Commodore 64 run Microsoft Flight Simulator.
  • Kyoto map still here.

Keep focusing on preparing a great and successful TGM26 (and of course, the store!), this is the most important thing for keeping the game alive šŸ¤”

This game has a serious cheating and smurf/alt account problem. I see it every single day I play. Bran new accounts dominating everyone on both teams. Level 12s with 37 kills and 6 deaths against my level 120+ teammates who only had 5 kills. UPDATE YOUR ANTICHEAT AND BAN SMURF/ ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS. It's not possible that ONLY new players can get these kind of numbers in the games I'm playing. I had 3 people over level 100 on my team vs a level 13, 16, 27, 9 and 3, and nobody on my team had over 6 kills while all the low level new accounts on the other team had 10+ kills some over 20. Never using tracking but always popping up right behind all my teammates one after another like we're not even playing. The overall cheating and exploiting issues need to be fixed before Grand Majors. You can't expect to grow an audience/player base when ACTUAL new players have to compete against these low level cheating and exploiting accounts. The only people who have a chance are the seasoned players, and even then, the level 100+ teammates I've had can't even compete against these accounts.

According to the study (N=3,229), the mechanical disparity is no longer just a "feeling":

  • The Disparity: The average controller player (36.54% accuracy) out-performs 99.4% of the MnK population.
  • The Ceiling: Even the literal top 1% of MnK aimers (35.78%) cannot match the consistency of a mid-tier controller user.
  • The Reaction: Human reaction time physically cannot compete with the 0ms delay of Rotational Aim Assist (Target Tracking).

Change CLOAKING DEVICE to the point where it is **NOT affected by what skins you wear. **
Make the player switch to a standard base model with 0 skins, during invisibility.
There are many skins I wish to buy in the game, but I will not use them, since they make you much more visible while in invisibility..

Come on guys, it's season 10, We've been waiting for this for ages, you need to step it up.

Also, when will you have our skins apply to the scopes aswell? More than half the weapon skins in your game are ruined by a standard black scope.

Could interactions with ladders, and more specifically being forced to climb them by proximity alone be revisited for possible improvements?

So often I find myself engaging and disengaging from fights, frantically running in and out of windows, near ladders, only to be forced into a climb with zero intent of doing so.

This stands in contrast to how other traversal options work:
ā€¢ Ziplines require a manual interact
ā€¢ Gateways require a manual interact
ā€¢ Sprinting requires a manual input (unless Auto-Sprint, an opt-in toggle, is enabled)
ā€¢ Vaulting over objects requires manual input

Given the precedent set by the existence of the Auto-Sprint toggle, the possible introduction of an Auto-Climb toggle would be a significant QOL win. (IMHO ofc).

And much like vaulting, you could rely on the jump keybind to initiate the action.

To avoid introducing a breaking change, it could even be enabled by default.

Dear embark,

The ranked system is broken,,

Reaching platinum in rank and then grinding to diamond is very hard ,, not to imagine the suffer from diamond to ruby

most of my games as a plat is against Ruby's ,, which at the end they help the weakest team to qualify and they defend them.

Also I want to address the smurfing issue ,, you need to be able to locate people who smurfs and ban them

In addition, why as a plat player I only get 500- 700 max if I reached top 1 place and 200-300 if I reach top 2 (so basicallyi need to quilfy twice) and against diamonds and rubys ,, but if I lose i lose 800-1000 points??

Lastly ,, why only first 500 on the world can be Ruby's?,, these guys are the same people being ruby every season ,, why not make it top 1000? And why you need to stay ruby the whole season to get a ruby skin ,, it's supposed to be given for just reaching ruby ,, cuz it's like nearly impossible if you don't use a hack or you work ( unlike streamers who doesn't touch grass)

lol why would they? Finals is just a minor project compared to Arc Raiders, and even at it's worst Finals only has 1/4th the player count of Arc Raiders at any given moment. Smurfs? Check the current player count on Steamcharts, shove the argument "but there are more console players outside Steam" somewhere else, and you'll see why Finals doesn't get the attention you think it deserves to get.

Tl,dr: It's just numbers.

Edit: @astral viper buddy if triple light M11 is winning against your entire team, please consider uninstalling the game and play something easier, like Hay Day or Candy Crush. If I were in your place, I'd rather never touch a multiplayer game again for the rest of my life than admit to that much of a huge ineptitude, like what the hell man? No reasonable person reading this is gonna say "yeah I agree, light needs to be nerfed", instead simply think "yeah this guy's cooked" and think quite low of you for even suggesting that it's the game balance that's the issue and not your skill.

Can't overtune it, but if you want to make Data Reshaper viable, how about give a bit more control over what you can reshape things into so players can utilize it more strategically. Can't make it OP where you can always get whatever arena utility that you need in any situation, but more intuitive and more likely to be able to say in a situation, "I need a red barrel and can make one here" or "gas" etc. Not sure if it's worth the trouble to fix that gadget, but I think players would at least find it interesting to experiment with if it acted more like a situational swiss army knife.

Embark how the hell did you manage to make Ranked even worse with this last update šŸ˜‚

Ranked RS needs a rework to eliminate/reduce griefing (pretty much every high plat and above match will be griefed)

Make RS gained correspond to the amount of money your team earns throughout the match rather than predetermined RS based on seeding. Obviously there would have to be a cash threshold teams need to pass, which would determine how much they gain/lose. For the final round, a bonus RS calculation should be made for the 2 teams based on their seeding when they entered the tournament. For example, if the 6th seed makes it to the final round vs the 1st seed, they would earn a significant bonus if they win. Conversely if the 1st seed wins, they will still get a bonus, just not as significant.

Also players should not lose ANY RS if they place at their seeding. Being 6th seed and placing 6th only to lose hundreds of RS makes no sense.

cursive urchin
# sterile canopy Where are you getting the 0.35 from, and do you know that the same algorithm is ...

The 0.35 value comes directly from Embark's own patch notes, v1.4.1

The point is that both games use rotational-style tracking assistance with configurable strength values, and THE FINALS publicly launched with values higher than Apex Legends.

What actually strengthens the comparison is that Apex doesn't even have ADS snap targeting/zoom snapping. Apex mainly uses rotational AA and slowdown/friction, yet controller is still one of the biggest advantages in the game.

The R5Reloaded dataset is relevant because it demonstrates the broader mechanical reality:
controller tracking assistance compresses the skill gap by providing instant directional tracking corrections that human reaction time on MnK physically cannot replicate consistently.

Apex's weaker implementation already creates measurable controller advantages, THE FINALS having stronger assistance systems is obviously going to raise balance concerns.

It's almost funny that for 3 weeks now your own partners keep getting you cooked publicly, but when a player like me that cares about the success of the game was saying the same things was and still is getting their voice censored by temp banning and deleting posts (discord/reddit/steam/in-game...CCP censoring at every level).

All because the people there responsible for this failure by making mentally challenged decisions cannot handle any kind of feedback.
250K -> 10K players (and probably even less considering smurf/multi-accounts/cheating accounts/farming lv accounts to sell/etc.)
I am pretty sure this size of failure for a MP online game has never been achieved, congrats you get 1st place at sucking the best!!! šŸŽ‰

Arc Raiders will not save you forever. It has the same problems as most live service games right now (example cheaters because of your useless anti-cheat) and is normal for the player base to decline steadily with time.
As soon as NEXON gets to notice, you will be running like headless chickens (might as well let them know of your incompetence already just to save the game before it's too late)

I don't know why you find it so difficult to just listen to what the playerbase needs but if you want i can tell you exactly what you need to do, for FREE! Just DM!

Meanwhile I suggest for whoever are responsible for these decisions/systems to take their leave now, because your days are counted:

  • Matchmaking algorithm
  • Anti-cheat
  • Balancing
  • Catering to the pro scene/streamers
  • UI/UX structure and features
  • Censoring/Community managers
  • DEI censoring cosmetics

I dunno if this belongs in general or feedback but the amount of randoms I end up queuing with that make their first comms, voice or text, be them exploding about how uncoordinated the team is and/or how "bad" the random is... it's way too many. I am in voice and text 99%* of time. That shit is usually silent until someone wants to flame.
So you lost the first engagement and no one on the team is talking. Fix the comms first(without being an asshole about it) before you let the baby rage take over. If you've tried to open up comms and your team is getting stomped for the 3rd or 4th time? Sure, get frustrated. Understandable. But giving up after one chaotic fight with people you don't know is stupid. Teamwork has be put together first. Don't just assume everyone is reading each other's minds.

# twilit sand nerf 93r. This weapon CANNOT two burst a light. It is too good this way. Why did...

How to correctly balance the 93R

The recent 93R changes made it an overpowered light deleter while having basically no effect on the classes it struggles against, which are medium and heavy. Hence, Embark needs to look at other ways to balance it rather than altering the damage.
This can be done by making the burst delay shorter, which will make it more viable against ALL classes while not making it overpowered versus lights.

Proposed 93R changes:
RPM - 1000 (current cycle rate)
Damage: 24** (revert from 25 back to 24)**
Burst delay: 0,284s > 0,235s (RPM 210 -> 260)

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

Body:
light: 0,52s -> ~ ** 0,71s** (7 shots) (does NOT 2 burst lights with body shots only)
medium: 1.21s -> ~ 1,12s (11 shots)
heavy: 1.68s -> ~ 1,54s (15 shots)

Head:
light: 0.40s -> ~ 0,415s (5 shots)
medium: 0.81s -> ~ 0,71s (7 shots)
heavy: 1.21s -> ~ 1,065s (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)**

Keep the mag size at** 21** to preserve the 93R's punishing nature.

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 (except light). 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.

I feel the need to mention that the 93R had these TTKs in this proposal until patch 2.9.0, yet it wasn't used because of its high recoil and lower range than the XP-54 at the time. So it wouldn't be an unprecedented change. We now have better range and lower recoil, so now is the time to truly balance this weapon once and for all.

Even if it's not 40Āŗ, if any aim lock exists, sword will have the most idiotic handling. Since the rotation clamp is clearly the biggest thing that makes the weapon unusable, it shouldn't exist at all. You should just revert sword back to how it was in S1,S2 , when there was no multi-hit. Sword back then was a bit weak, but thatā€™s okay. A weaker weapon is better than a dumb patch that destroys its identity.
ā€‹Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
ā€‹Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword canā€™t look back like all do?Every weapon can naturally look back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an ā€œexploitā€ when all melees and weapons can do it?
ā€‹Wildly spinning the aim actually wasnā€™t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
ā€‹If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
ā€‹Even if spins wildly, theyā€™d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.Just revert it to S1.
ā€‹It's no coincidence that almost every dedicated Sword YouTuber has quit. They left because of this unjust,clunky,and fundamentally flawed handling. Why you have to ruin swordā€™s identity thatā€™s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? Whoā€™s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins swordā€™s identity by thinking ā€œmelee should just be dumb M1 spam?
ā€‹Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

If both 1st and 2nd won 2 cashouts each, the only way 3rd and 4th should have a chance of getting in is if they double before OT

enough of these handouts

also if no one plugs 5 or 6 before OT just end the match automatically

to this day and i play light aswell, but nerf the m11 to 15 damage the gun is to op with 16 damage and yes you need to get close, but the damage output is to high and thats why like 40% of the light players play this stupidly broken gun. The p90 is semi the same type of gun as the m11 but that gun deals 15 damage per shot so ye just change it already.

I'm a player who's playing the game from season one I have invested more than 2,200 hours in the game I stopped playing the game for some personal issue After Season 6. I came back at the start of season 10 now I see in quick cash, the team gets the first cash wins if no one else gets any cash or there is only 3 cash going on in the game. So what people are doing if they get the first cash is they are just winning the game for others. They are just grabbing the cash out and running the whole map.

Smurfing Problem and margin-of-victory ELOs:
If you used a true margin-of-victory ELO calculation, smurfing as a problem would go away. Separately, I assume you use a corrupted ELO (current RS system) to preserve the incentive for players to grind through a season. Two solutions: (1) Use a true ELO calculation combined with gradual ELO inflation through a season - i.e., the nice version of ELO decay. Honestly, I think there is a justification for the inflation, as presumably the entire player base gains in skill over time. (2) Shift emphasis to players' leaderboard positions so people grind to improve those instead of just their ELO. Players can see each otherā€™s leaderboard position in each match instead of or along with their ELO. You could even combine (1) and (2). Note, this is actually a response to the smurfing problem, which is the only reason to go to such lengths. EDIT: "margin-of-victory" is used loosely here, should basically be taken to mean how far above their current ELO a player performs in a given match.

Cheater Problem:
If you lower the barriers to reporting, I suspect youā€™d get fewer cheaters. Seems to me the obvious feature would be to have a button during the replay feature that automatically reports the clip and gameplay (hopefully just in the form of metadata). Thereā€™d have to be some more assurance that the replay feature doesnā€™t dramatically reduce in-game performance, of course, which no one I know is convinced of. Otherwise, a lot of the players best qualified to spot and report cheaters will still have the replay feature off anyway. Anyway, if workable, this idea seems like it would create a new problem of generating an explosion of reports, but I suspect this would be far offset by having more data on the players getting repeatedly reported, and not just quantity of reports but gameplay clips to back it up.

Just trying to help with the biggest complaints I hear.

Once again I'm here to say that it's not a coincidence that all these new low level accounts are more challenging than all the 100+ players I play with/against. There's a SERIOUS problem with either cheaters on new accounts, people on alt/smurf accounts, or both and they all need to be banned immediately. Every single time there are these low level accounts in my games, it's like my entire team isn't even playing and the level 19 on the other team is 100% walking through everyone with 30 kills and the level 6 with 19 kills. While the level 100+ players on my team have no more than 6 kills. It's not just me being "not good" against a new player because it's everyone on my team no matter the level. Levels 100+ on their team can't perform like that either. It's not a coincidence. It's cheaters and people exploiting the matchmaking with alt/smurf accounts. This needs to be dealt with. I see these "expert" new low level accounts every day I play, all level 1-20 every single time.

I feel like you could fix the griefing problem by making it so Elo rewards in final round is not determined until both teams are there.

If there is a huge Elo difference, then the team in final round should gain like nothing in that final round for beating them, on the flip side if it's narrower the gains should be more.

If you're playing to climb the leaderboard, this would incentivise you to not try to hold the second best team back in round two

If you played THE FINALS when rotational AA was 50%, you'd know it was obviously much stronger than Apex at the time. The values are clearly not just arbitrary numbers with no practical meaning, the real disagreement is simply where the acceptable balance point is.

When players can pick up controller and on 50 hours experience have more effective tracking than their 500+ on MnK there is a problem.

Bug: Selection cursor does not return to loot list after inventory action
After performing an action in my backpack (e.g., selecting "Salvage"), the selection cursor/focus stays anchored in the backpack panel instead of returning to the next item in the active loot list. When I try to continue looting quickly, my input registers on whatever the backpack cursor is still hovering ā€” causing accidental salvages, weapon swaps, or wrong selections. The cursor should reset to the next available loot item after each backpack action is completed.
Steps to reproduce: Open loot screen ā†’ select item ā†’ choose "Salvage" from backpack ā†’ without moving, attempt to select next loot item ā†’ cursor is still in backpack panel, not loot list.
Expected: Cursor returns to loot list automatically after backpack action resolves.
Actual: Cursor stays in backpack. Next input fires in wrong panel.
Impact: High ā€” causes unintended salvages and weapon swaps in fast-paced situations.

One good change to create diversity in medium build could be the nerf to the reanimated teammate by defibrillator. Decreasing the hp from a half bar to 10% hp could force the defib user to protect the partner or heal it using a lot of heal beam or infuser charges. Historically, defib is still that essential pick for the teams, this change should make defib more complex than just revive. Players who use defib could be more strategist than just revive (in low ELO in a danger spot or high elo, using cover, healing them for a little time)

You have to roll the same slot 3x. The first time you get the item. The second time the slot turns into a golden ticket. The third time you actually get the golden ticket. It's clearly laid out if you read the event description in game.

Edit to address the below message - it doesn't actually impact the probability of completing the wheel because the chances of landing on the same slot >3 times is quite low. To have a 50% chance of completing the wheel you must get 27-30 tickets out of 45 (complete the dailies on 9-10 days out of 14). Above that your odds of completing the wheel greatly increase (since the odds of hitting on the gold ticket slots is higher because there's more of them) @boreal locust

Adding to what you said if you land in the same slot for a fourth time you're back to step 2 and have to land on it yet again to get another ticket.

This dragons claim has been the first attempt at something like that and I'm just not enjoying it.

While I'm impressed at the creativity and attempt to tie it to theme, it's just not enjoyable to me.

Maybe it's because the mode plays slow?

I want this kind of mode again but no theme, no locked classes, more teams or players per team, and shorter or near instant respawns.

3 teams of 4 would be fun.
2 second respawns (anything shorter please)
Being able to test out the mode without restrictions would be cool.

Also, I ask myself what would the mode play like in Feng City, Monaco, or other maps...

I use the cl-40 and only using that got to diamond with it

the weapon lacks any ttk on other M & H (this is fine btw)

( keep in mind the only weapon 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 to be slightly faster i am fine with less splash damage but plz then make it more in line with what u have said for wanting direct hits with it

Dev Note: The CL-40ā€™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.

I would also love 2 see data reshaper cool down to be faster ( I do not use it but it takes 28s to come back feels it should be faster if u want more out of it )

aps buff to make the area it blocks lager or let it take more projectiles out as well

I follow the same sentiment specifically about pings, outlining my feedback below:

Hey, Embark! Majority solo-queue/no comms player here. Please consider reinstating the ping voice/text lines for intention to revive ("I'm going for the revive! Cover me!"), specifically spotting an enemy ("Enemy spotted!" / "Got a contestant!") and trailing a teammate ("I'm right behind you!"). These lines cannot be effectively replaced by simply having the character say "There!" when, for example, pinging a revive statue (in fact, many players still do it despite it not giving any info whatsoever anymore), and denoting a difference between general danger in an area ("Danger here!") to actually seeing an enemy ("Enemy spotted!") is super important for micro-management and gameplay for someone like me.

I wonder if anyone else feels this way and sincerely hope you consider my feedback! Thank you so much for all you do!

This game is a waste of fucking time; i left in season 7 and came back this season, and tbh i think I'm ready to leave the game for good because of dumb shit like this that wastes my time. Why would someone want to keep playing a game where shit like this happens. fucking stupid.

I am working under the assumption that the pick rate for the Hover Pad is low, kinda like Data Reshaper.
Just as I made a suggestion for the Data Reshaper (give users a bit more control in what you can reshape objects into or at least a preview of what you'll get when you use it), I'm going to throw one out for the Hover Pad.
Give players some control of the Hover Pad's movement.
Obviously, the mechanic would take some work, and the movement would need to be reasonable, obviously.
First thought that popped into my head was jumping once while on the pad to lock on for movement, jump once again while locked to unlock (e.g., just jumping off the pad).
As for movement, only the vertical movement up and down would be something to figure out.
I have no idea what kind of value this would have (still too little? way too much?), but maybe there's a scenario where your team is hiding out on a hover pad around the side of a building next to a cashout inside and rotates with the pad around for a surprise?
Use it to slowly raise your team up to a higher level? Use it to raise a cashout up?
Anyway, I think you've done an amazing job making so many things in the game viable, but it's still sad to see some gadgets never get picked.

I was talking about shockwave you dunce... and imagine the only counter to a broken class being "positioning and recoil control", so basically when you play anything 5v5 or more you have to forget about the objective, forget about other targets, you now have to do "positioning and recoil control" just to counter snipers...
the goo nerf is so dumb, it was barely viable before but now its complete trash...
point break desperetly needs a rework: let people choose where to spawn and lower respawn times, buff revive pads, buff healing beam, buff dome shield, why do you need to reload rpg and lockbolt if they have cooldown? why does it take longer to reload on full clip dump? just remove all this bs and go full arcade... bullet drop off is also useless bs...
anything melee also needs to be reworked (except light, light needs to be nerfed)

Proposition: Since Season 9 added the ability to change sponsors at any moment there's appeared one small problem... Grind. Fans are more difficult to earn than XP but I understand why it is but there is one solution that could make the grind for those sponsor stuff a bit more easier: reward fans for daily and club contracts. The amount shouldn't too big but just enough to make it less of slog. I suggest giving daily contracts a value of 75-100 fans and 50 fans for club ones per contract.

    4 hold position
    the 1 click ping should be something generic like "here" or even just a sound unless ur pinging a statue or an objective then that should just be "reviving cover me" unless you hold again then u'd have 2 options 1 on each side "wait I'll revive" "revive them" same with objective "steal" "defend" as defaults and but you can pick between or "I'll steal" when you hold

and fix the damn wheels and the default ping on the attacker side in point break it just makes the vame feel neglected when such issues are just there

There's still an incentive for the leading team to team up with the lowest team to get them in, but if they had to sacrifice their own RS for it, it discourage teaming with other teams. Adjusting the entry cost for a tourney would be how you balance the gain / loss.
  • Charge and slam does a bit too much free damage, and logically it doing the same damage as an RPG doesn't make sense. I suggest making the knockback the main focus of the specification, and give it damage when enemies get knocked into a wall.
  • The mythic ghost hair is very difficult to fight against, as the outline of their head tracks the hair floating, making hitting headshots harder. It's literally pay-to-win

How to correctly balance the 93R

The recent 93R changes made it an overpowered light deleter while having basically no effect on the classes it struggles against, which are medium and heavy. Hence, Embark needs to look at other ways to balance it rather than altering the damage.
This can be done by making the burst delay shorter, which will make it more viable against ALL classes while not making it overpowered versus lights.

Proposed 93R changes:
RPM - 1000 (current cycle rate)
Damage: 24** (revert from 25 back to 24)**
Burst delay: 0,284s > 0,235s (RPM 210 -> 260)

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

Body:
light: 0,52s -> ~ ** 0,71s** (7 shots) (does NOT 2 burst lights with body shots only)
medium: 1.21s -> ~ 1,12s (11 shots)
heavy: 1.68s -> ~ 1,54s (15 shots)

Head:
light: 0.40s -> ~ 0,415s (5 shots)
medium: 0.81s -> ~ 0,71s (7 shots)
heavy: 1.21s -> ~ 1,065s (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)**

Keep the mag size at** 21** to preserve the 93R's punishing nature.

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 (except light). 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.

I feel the need to mention that the 93R had these TTKs in this proposal until patch 2.9.0, yet it wasn't used because of its high recoil and lower range than the XP-54 at the time. So it wouldn't be an unprecedented change. We now have better range and lower recoil, so now is the time to truly balance this weapon once and for all.

dragon's claim is usually really fun

but giving the fastest class a ranged, instant objective denier, was not a good idea
especially since you cant defend yourself against it while holding the very objective that you need

you might be almost done charging it, just for them to hit you, and run with it to squeeze more capture for their team before the objective goes live
while being guaranteed to have first dibs, since they can nullify anyone around it when the banner first spawns in
in a mode where there is such a massive payout for planting the objective, its way too decisive

(1) Data Reshaper rework (refined):

  • Buff to area it reshapes objects in
  • Consider the ability to reshape certain architectural features
  • Primary fire - Works as originally intended (e.g., for running up to a cashout and reshaping defenders' utility)
  • Secondary fire - Brings up a wheel with 3 sets of objects to choose from based on what is in the reshaper's range, to make it more like a 'Swiss Army Knife'-type gadget
    (2) Hover Pad rework (refined):
  • Buff the size of the pad slightly so a full team can stand a bit more comfortably on it
  • Give it mobility with a moderate speed
  • Activate mobility by jumping once on it to lock in. While locked in, normal movement for forward, back, left, right; primary and secondary fire for up, down
  • Jump once again to unlock mobility, re-enabling the ability to utilize weapons or other utility, or to jump off the pad
    (3) Melee rework (prospectively):
  • Others have noted that improving audio cues would help to address complaints
  • Also, giving melee users a 10%(?) increase to their cues (e.g., footsteps) might be fair and defensible
  • Potentially even with room to then buff some melees
    (4) Other feedback:
  • A small thing, but I hope you will preserve playersā€™ season stats for each game mode so they can be seen in future seasons. I am enjoying tracking them, and comparing them across seasons would be nice.
  • Agree with @odd linden that it would be nice to be able to name and rearrange our builds, and also give them each their own player card
  • In your RS rework for next season, pls make placings in any Cashout rounds matter. Would help with griefing and teaming. Less so teaming, but that's an unfixable problem in a 4-team mode. Something to pls bear in mind in all future design decisions.
  • Once again, I feel bad for people still experiencing performance issues, but I have been very satisfied with the stability and performance of the game recently. Greatly appreciate the amazing work on that.

They're arbitrary until we have evidence regarding the scaling of the algorithms they are used in. A bigger value in one game could totally have a smaller impact than a smaller value in another. You need evidence for it to make sense to confidently assert this, and so far it seems that we have a single intuited data point and no actual data.

THE WINCH
I don't like the winch as it's currently designed. It's probably the most boring way a chain CC could be implemented in a game; roadhog's hook was a nerf magnet for a REASON. It just works. Nerfs never have or ever will fix the instant win button it can be

"Let's make things interesting."

CLEAR SIGNALLING
You now enter an animation that has a distinct sound for 2.0-4.5s, spinning the chain first before tossing it at your opponent. The longer you swing, the farther you can reach. You can activate it again to cancel it during this state. +Aura

At 2.5s the range is 8m, and at 4.5s the range is 40m. However, you can only keep it fully charged for 4 seconds. If you run it out, it's treated as a miss in terms of cooldown (10s).

To counter the range, Cashbox Stations are incredibly heavy, and your maximum distance you can pull them is halved; for example, fully charging it only allows you to pull it 20m if you send it rather than 40m, and you reel it towards you at 33% the speed of normal objects and players, also reducing bonus distance from momentum.

STUN CHANGES
Only stuns for .1 seconds, and they'd no longer arrive in front of you neatly; they'd carry any momentum from being pulled unless the person winched hits you with a quick melee, which will interrupt the winch and remove momentum. In addition...

DRAGGING.
When you grab an object, you can now hold down the activation key to keep them a certain distance (you can move), and any time you let go they'll be pulled further towards you. Note, the chain has 150 health, and can be broken. But if you time it right, you can pull them directly towards you with enough time for a sick skill shot.

You can indefinitely pull objects this way, including separated parts of the arena, but can't affect enemy revive statues.

Meanwhile, cash stations can ONLY be dragged if they're within 8 meters of you, and your speed is reduced by 33% while doing so.

Players/cashboxes can only be dragged for 3s.

Thoughts?

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 360Ā° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant. The server sided calculation of it has been bugged ever since it got introduced but has never been adressed. In the current season flicking the lunge will still yank back your entire camera and make accurate aiming impossible.

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

The balancing in the game seems pretty solid at the moment, so I hesitate to ask, but is there a maximum heal rate in the game? Should there be? I ask because I recall there being a nerf to double heal beam back in the day, and now that we have heal beam, H+ infuser, healing emitter, and even the blue healing balls, I wonder if any of those currently double up, now.

Separately, if a maximum heal rate was implemented, should that maximum rate be scaled to the different classesā€™ overall health pools? Iā€™m not saying scale the amount of heals that each one of the healing gadgets does per second, only what the maximum is if getting healed by multiple gadgets simultaneously.

Why does anyone bother with trying to give any balance ideas here, they never listen, they never will, this game is so trash, and the devs are worse, i swear to god....

How is smurfing allowed in a competitive game? Do you want to drive away new players? Sure! Lets allow completely rookie players, players who may have never even seen a shooter before, to meet esports players, and people, who have been ruby since ruby was introduced!!! That will definitely make people go "Oh gee let me go suffer a few more games!"

Why are we allowed to meet any single person, who has a greater difference to our RS than 8000, if we are solo queueing? Why can I be matched with back-to-back diamonds and rubies, who are actually current 40k+ RS too, while I am trying to recover form the shitass ranked system you guys claimed to have fixed, twice now? Why can I match up, as a team of 72K-75K RS, with teams that are 120K+ RS? What makes you think I will gladly spend another minute playing this stupid ass system.

lol the copypaste sword sweat is back, here's why they'll NEVER revert sword clamp (again)

  • before the clamp, Sword M2 was absurdly spammy. You didn't need to aim your thrust, just hold M2, release, and shake your mouse/joystick vigorously so that the hitbox is all around you. That ain't intuitive, that's cheese meant to make up for lack of aiming skill.

  • In fencing, thrust attacks are realistically seen as a high-risk, high-reward attack, since it gives you a lot of reach and power momentarity, at the cost of being utterly predictable and defenseless during recovery. The current aim clamp is not only reeling the spammy nature of Sword M2, it's also quite realistic and whoever added this change did their research on sword fights. Kudos to the balance team for that.

  • Before the M1 buff, it was even more useless than quick melee. 75 damage per swing, you'd need 4 hits on Medium and 5 hits on Heavy to take them out, 1 less with quick melee. With that ttk, using M2 was the only viable path. You only want it to be nerfed because you never used it, because you were just a filthy M2 spammer. Now with your crutch gone, you're still crying instead of learning.

  • 140 damage M2, funnily enough, only changes the ttk on Medium cos Light and Heavy class keeps the same ttk with 120 damage thrust . You want the damage buffed on the thrust because you're so bad against Mediums that you can't even afford to land a quick melee after the 2nd thrust attack and get shredded by them (lol). This small piece reveals everything about you, about how unskilled you are, and sadly, about your inability to learn.

  • You keep spamming the same copypasta again and again and again and again. You think the devs haven't seen it 100 times over already?All the changes you proposed doesn't address the core issue for WHY they made the sword changes in the first place: It had no counterplay point-blank. Just spam M2, dash, repeat. This ain't tricky, this is spammy. You want that spam back. Git gud.

the hover pad needs adjustments. I can see the vision but itā€™s not implemented well as you can only get use out of the hover pad by using other gadgets like a jump pad or a turret to place on it and make a gimmick gunship out of it. Which is not worth using a gadget slot for.

Suggestion: the hover pad needs a significant horizontal speed increase especially when blasted by a shockwave. That way it allows us to launch pad in a given direction. Example scenario, if a teammate has a box and thereā€™s only 15 seconds to put it into a cashout, I can place a hover pad, get my teammate to stand on it then use shockwave to launch the pad horizontally in the desired direction like a hockey puck at insane speeds to reach the cashout in time.

The shockwave currently doesnā€™t move the hover pad at all which is ridiculous.

Another example, I could place the hover pad in a room, place mines on the hover pad then when an enemy comes in I can launch the hover pad horizontally in their direction using quick melee or enhancing it using shockwave which blows them up.

Either way the hover pad is not worth using in its current state. Please turn it into a hockey puck that sails horizontally at high speeds, thatā€™s the only change you need to introduce new tech I can use. Let me launch my bro horizontally across the map sailing on the hover pad.

The hoverpad being a slow fixed position pad in the air is pointless when youā€™re at a better advantage just standing on solid ground instead of a tiny disc with 150hp. BUT if it could sail horizontally it would be insane.

I use the cl-40 and only using that got to diamond with it

the weapon lacks any ttk on other M & H (this is fine btw)

( keep in mind the only weapon 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 to be slightly faster i am fine with less splash damage but plz then make it more in line with what u have said for wanting direct hits with it

Dev Note: The CL-40ā€™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.

I would also love 2 see data reshaper cool down to be faster ( I do not use it but it takes 28s to come back feels it should be faster if u want more out of it )

They could even do a monthly post of just random statistics like ā€œhow many barricades used this monthā€ or ā€œthis many cash boxes were deposited from +50mā€, just more stuff to engage with the community honestly in a different way to streams and amaā€™s.

Changes I want:
Sledge:
Primary:Improved hit reg
Secondary:Damage increased from 175->195. Can be held to charge up the heavy attack, holding hammer above the playerā€™s head
Alt:Thrusts the hammer forwards, dealing 20 damage and pushing the enemy back 15m (distance increases with players momentum). There is a wind-up period similar to the secondary attack-can be held. Requires 1 hit to break wood, 2 for stone/concrete
Dev noteā€“ā€œWe feel like the sledgehammer is in a good spot right now, so we havenā€™t made any drastic changes to it. The minor increase in secondary attack damage is to keep the ttk against heavies more competitive by reducing the impact of healing applied to the target. Bringing back a fan favourite move from heavy hitters, the alt fire is more of a utility rather than an attack. The distance of the knockback purposely pushes the enemy outside of winch range, removing the ability for any unintended combos or exploitsā€
Spear:
Primary:The first slash is multi-hit, with the two jabs are single target
Secondary:Each spin requires an individual input, or held to complete full animation. Removed the maximum number of targets
Alt:Can be held down to charge a throw with a range of 22m. Acting as a projectile, when thrown, the spear does not deal damage, instead it slightly disrupts enemy movement by knocking them 1.5m out of the projectileā€™s trajectory. If thrown at a wall, the spear will become a physical object that is able to be mantled to use for traversal
Dev noteā€“ā€œThe spears secondary attack has been a source of frustration for users for some time now, leading to the rise of exploits such as ā€˜emote cancellingā€™. This change allows the spear to be a more versatile weapon and opens up more options for kill combos without any significant changes to the ttk. The alt fire helps make up for heavyā€™s lack of mobility, particularly when using this weapon. We feel like this addition will allow the weapon to be closer to the sledgehammer from a utility perspective"

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 360Ā° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant. The server sided calculation of it has been bugged ever since it got introduced but has never been adressed. In the current season flicking the lunge will still yank back your entire camera and make accurate aiming impossible.

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 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.

Revive Medium for S12

  • Damage Buff & Slight Health Nerf.

  • Define a Meta. FCAR, CB Repeater, or an M16 AR (Powerful 3 round bursts, Short mag).

  • Buff Heal Beam to compete with other healing options within reason.

  • Don't listen to the calls to nerf Medium again by H & L's when you do buff M, because they will complain relentlessly.

Give other classes the fun content, just give Medium viable Meta options like the other two.

Quartermaster: Medium specialization that lets you have 6 gadgets total.

Why this specialization is awesome:

  1. It opens up an insane amount of options for medium to really flush out different play styles and roles,
  2. It leans in to medium being a flex support class, it also is a specialization that is useful or fun for every part of a match and in terms of the actual experience (not just niche scenarios). Vs demat which can be totally useless in many instances, or turret that is tantamount to baby sitting a nearsighted roomba with a temper.
  3. Suddenly a bunch of utterly mid gadgets are fucking awesome thanks to the synergy you can achieve by combining them.

In terms of controls/button bindings: For modifier button or directional equipping: standard gadgets activated through the usual buttons, while the three additional gadgets are activated by double clicking the corresponding usual button (1 for 4, 2 for 5, 3 for 6). Simply add more options for wheel.

The Current Ranked System, Solo-Queue Experience & A Format Proposal

After playing for over 500 hours, I have to say that the current Ranked experience, especially for solo players, is incredibly frustrating. It feels impossible to rank up without a premade team. Even prominent Embark Stream Partners are constantly complaining about the exact same issues.

The Main Issues:

Matchmaking: As a solo player, I am constantly paired with complete beginners who lack basic game sense, positioning, and team play. It makes climbing back to Platinum feel impossible.

Third-Partying / "Griefing": The current tournament format heavily rewards third-partying and griefing, which takes away from actual skill-based engagements.

A Proposal for a New Bracket Format:
To make fights fairer and reduce the constant third-partying, the tournament structure could be adjusted:

Round 1: Standard 1v1v1v1 match.

Round 2 (Semi-Finals): Break it down into two separate 1v1 matches (e.g., 1st vs 2nd from previous round, and 3rd vs 4th).

Round 3 (Finals): The winners of those 1v1s fight in a final 1v1 match.

This might not fix all issues perfectly, but it would provide much fairer, skill-based fights without the constant chaos of four teams griefing each other at one objective. Please look into the solo-queue experience!

Quite the wordsmith, I agree. An absolute savant with vocabulary and diction.

Hey devs, love your game (been playing since mid season 6). I think itā€™s great and donā€™t get the hate like LeDude thinks he can throw at you.

Truly my only gripe is smurfs. Itā€™s a plague in every game, not just yours. Iā€™d really appreciate if you took a stand and combated this issue.

But if you choose not to, maybe give me the option to shut off stats and levels on a personā€™s player card? Totally down with getting cooked by a level 110 with 10,000 kills. But a level 10 with 1,000 doesnā€™t feel good.

If I wasnā€™t being mocked and spat on by a Smurf player card Iā€™d probably not care as much.

  • Smurfs.
  • No bans (a real bans).
  • No room for solo queue.
  • Server performance on the same level as watching a Commodore 64 run Microsoft Flight Simulator.

lol the copypaste sword sweat is back, here's why they'll NEVER revert sword clamp (again)

  • before the clamp, Sword M2 was absurdly spammy. You didn't need to aim your thrust, just hold M2, release, and shake your mouse/joystick vigorously so that the hitbox is all around you. That ain't intuitive, that's cheese meant to make up for lack of aiming skill.

  • In fencing, thrust attacks are realistically seen as a high-risk, high-reward attack, since it gives you a lot of reach and power momentarity, at the cost of being utterly predictable and defenseless during recovery. The current aim clamp is not only reeling the spammy nature of Sword M2, it's also quite realistic and whoever added this change did their research on sword fights. Kudos to the balance team for that.

  • Before the M1 buff, it was even more useless than quick melee. 75 damage per swing, you'd need 4 hits on Medium and 5 hits on Heavy to take them out, 1 less with quick melee. With that ttk, using M2 was the only viable path. You only want it to be nerfed because you never used it, because you were just a filthy M2 spammer. Now with your crutch gone, you're still crying instead of learning.

  • 140 damage M2, funnily enough, only changes the ttk on Medium cos Light and Heavy class keeps the same ttk with 120 damage thrust . You want the damage buffed on the thrust because you're so bad against Mediums that you can't even afford to land a quick melee after the 2nd thrust attack and get shredded by them (lol). This small piece reveals everything about you, about how unskilled you are, and sadly, about your inability to learn.

  • You keep spamming the same copypasta again and again and again and again. You think the devs haven't seen it 100 times over already?All the changes you proposed doesn't address the core issue for WHY they made the sword changes in the first place: It had no counterplay point-blank. Just spam M2, dash, repeat. This ain't tricky, this is spammy. You want that spam back. Git gud.

We gotta revert spawns back to how they were in season 9 lol

Or better yet what's so hard about changing spawning avoid free third parties.

There's no intelligence for these third parties, Team B gets beat by team A, spawns in with full resources right on top of a depleted team C or D

I know they know this is an issue but cash out just feels so luck based until this gets addressed

Hello Embark! Iā€™d like to share some feedback and suggestions:

  1. Weapon presets / crosshair changes in-game
    Being able to switch weapon presets or crosshairs mid-match would be a great QoL feature and reduce the need to constantly enter/leave the practice range.

  2. ā€œDo Not Reviveā€ improvements
    In chaotic modes like Point Break, chat messages are easy to miss. A clearer ā€œDo Not Reviveā€ option would help avoid wasting respawn tokens and unwanted revives while changing loadouts.

  3. Preview emotes in player cards
    It would be great to preview emotes in player cards before purchasing them. Since THE FINALS is such a fast-paced FPS, I think that emotes are mostly used for player card poses rather than during gameplay.

  4. Better rewards for Top 10 / Top 100 players
    Current high-rank rewards feel underwhelming and identical across most of the top 500, which hurts long-term motivation and encourages smurfing. More exclusive ranked cosmetics or seasonal rewards tied to final rank would make grinding feel more rewarding.

  5. Heavy specialization idea ā€“ ā€œWrecking Ballā€ concept
    Just throwing this idea out there as inspiration for a future Heavy specialization. The Heavy fires a hook toward a structure and swings forward using momentum like a human wrecking ball. Missing the hook would trigger cooldown, similar to the Winch Claw. The goal wouldnā€™t be raw speed, but giving Heavy a more creative mobility/destruction tool while fitting the class identity.

Thanks for reading!

Dear Embark Team,

I really loved this Game so much even that i have accumilated 819.4 h of playing within two seasons or so...Only for me to get PERMA banned out of the blue for no reason whatsoever. I most likely got banned because of a so called "third party" software for my graphic tablet for creating art...you cannot use it to get any advantages but your system still dedected it as such. Just like many other people who have seemingly be wronged with such permanent bans while their reports got burried deep within automatic AI responses. People who kindly put money into your game and you guys dont use it to pay someone to fix this huge issue? this is a problem that will hit more and more people till there is no real player base anymore ^^ so pls kindly fix this issue so people can enjoy the game again.

I would like to say in kind regards but the situation is to disheartening-

How to correctly balance the 93R

The recent 93R changes made it an overpowered light deleter while having basically no effect on the classes it struggles against, which are medium and heavy. Hence, Embark needs to look at other ways to balance it rather than altering the damage.
This can be done by making the burst delay shorter, which will make it more viable against ALL classes while not making it overpowered versus lights.

Proposed 93R changes:
RPM - 1000 (current cycle rate)
Damage: 24** (revert from 25 back to 24)**
Burst delay: 0,284s > 0,235s (RPM 210 -> 260)

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

Body:
light: 0,52s -> ~ ** 0,71s** (7 shots) (does NOT 2 burst lights with body shots only)
medium: 1.21s -> ~ 1,12s (11 shots)
heavy: 1.68s -> ~ 1,54s (15 shots)

Head:
light: 0.40s -> ~ 0,415s (5 shots)
medium: 0.81s -> ~ 0,71s (7 shots)
heavy: 1.21s -> ~ 1,065s (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)**

Keep the mag size at** 21** to preserve the 93R's punishing nature.

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 (except light). 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.

I feel the need to mention that the 93R had these TTKs in this proposal until patch 2.9.0, yet it wasn't used because of its high recoil and lower range than the XP-54 at the time. So it wouldn't be an unprecedented change. We now have better range and lower recoil, so now is the time to truly balance this weapon once and for all.

Yo is it just me or is the matchmaking kinda buns rn?

For example I lobby with my friends 1 unranked and the other high silver (around 18k) now I'm a low gold (~21k) after a loosing streak, however my opponents are a three stack of plats (all around 32k), a triple gold (all 27k) and a 2 plat /gold (gold was 29k). How is this fair matchmaking? At the time I was around 4k lower than the next lowest player in the tourney.

Another example: I try and solo que for some hopefully more balanced games however I load in with a 10k and a 17k. I'm at around 21k (so low gold) and I have a teammate with half my RS. I'm going against triple golds while I have 2 silvers on my team. Again how is this fair matchmaking?

On a side note the amount of former dimonds and RUBYS in low gold is kinda wild. Not to mention the smurfs.

All in all I would take longer que times if it resolved this unbalanced matchmaking in ranked.

LIVE SPECTATING + BETTING
Let us do something with our spare VRS or even Show Tokens (NOT multibucks please) and bet on teams we can freely spectate in a mode similar to Deadlock's. It might result in a system similar to Recruit & Rise, but hopefully with rewards that are actually worth the effort. You'd know which teams have what stats, and could bet at any time in the first half of the first bracket, but the earlier you place your bet and the 'least likely' team (I.e. one with the least overall stats) you pick, the greater the reward at the end depending on your chosen team's performance. You could even choose to look at the other half of the first 4v4 bracket so, in the second bracket, when you have the choice to change your mind or double-or-nothing, you can make a decision with some of that data too.

The betting part just feels like it's thematic to The Finals, and would be a fun audience addition besides. Imagine having an actual audience to react to gameplay, that would be sick af. I honestly think a freely available spectate mode meshes with the game so well that I'm shocked it wasn't implemented before Deadlock. It would seamlessly fit into the overall experience. The betting part isn't necessary, but it would give another incentive to have big audiences.

day 1 of asking them to nerf m11

feral fossil
# waxen thicket lol the copypaste sword sweat is back, here's why they'll NEVER revert sword cla...

First off, stop with the ad hominems--they are not constructive at all, and just clutter the discussion on sword.

  1. M1 is currently more spammy and significantly less skill. Also, this topic on M2 lunge being able to spin around in a 360 is literally addressed by removing the multihit. We sword mains also think this is silly, and that is why we are advocating to remove it (removing the multihit on M2 and the aim clamp)

  2. We are playing a virtual game show where aliens blow up the arena and people burst into coins. Realism is not the intent here. Second, aim clamping someone is about the most unrealistic thing possible. Our movement in real life isn't restricted by 40 degrees. Also, even if we discuss realism here, having a thrusting attack that can attack multiple opponents is unrealistic as well, thus, remove the multihit on M2 and remove the aim clamp.

  3. First, it was 74 DMG per swing originally, not 75 (that would give it the same hits to kill as it currently has). M1 spam is signficantly less skilled than M2 being the dominant attack. It also provides zero depth to the weapon if the main attack is just clicking M1 while on top of a target. M2 requires positioning and movement skill to keep dodging around the opponent (or else you get instantly deleted after lunging at an opponent).

  4. You are partially correct here. Changing the M2 ttk for Light and Heavy would make sword overpowered, thus, we sword mains are trying to avoid that. However, buffing M2 to 140 would enable some more combos with the primary attack, such as: M2 + M2 + M1 to kill a heavy, or M2 + M1 + QM to kill a medium (giving more viability to M1, something you were complaining about as underused). Keep in mind, this would restore it to Season 1 balancing on the Sword, a state where no one complained about it being overpowered.

  5. Calling a top 100 player bad is quite brave. Also, sword DOES have counterplay point blank: any mine, winch, goo grenade, jump pad, glitch mine, any shotgun, etc

Banned cheaters, your anti-cheat system sucks itā€™s better to work on it than to be working on cosmetics. Itā€™s absolutely annoying. Secondly your servers are the most worse servers Iā€™ve ever seen.

FIX THE CHEATING ISSUES!!!!!

# feral fossil First off, stop with the ad hominems--they are not constructive at all, and just...

Embark added aim clamp to make skillless M2 thrusts easier to punish, and crying for it's removal only proves the actual lack of aiming skill on the crying kids. True, bad aim is why y'all are playing swords in the first place, but still, you can't just expect to use M2 whenever you want carelessly and still win every fight point-blank, do you?

Aim clamp on M2 is quite a brilliant thing, not just for letting lights easily avoid a whiff by shaking their mouse all around, but also making sure that enemies can avoid the thrust attacks as well. As a Heavy main I have personally punished so many cocky lights just by watching them prepare the M2 and simply taking a sidestep and punishing their whiff. They still CAN hit me, just not by making it obvious. Even funnier considering I checked my weapon xp on Light, and was surprised to find out I also have the highest level on Sword. Probably that's why I look down on people who asks for removal of aim clamp, they're simply bad at adapting to new changes and understanding what necessitated the change.

The thing is, even with the dps buff on M1 it only serves to defeat low level scrubs with 0 team coordination. 88 damage doesn't make it spammy, it barely makes it useful. Because even with 75 damage instead of 74, you'd need 4 hits on Heavy if you sneak in a qm in the end, and as the devs have clearly demonstrated with the Hammer nerf, they WANT to remove the reliance on qm to make combos. Personally I'm torn on it because qm combos are quite fun, but I'm waiting for the melee rework to see what they're preparing. If it's bad, I'll complain then. But aim clamp? That's pure lack of learning.

And top 100 players isn't quite that respectable considering the recent allegations regarding devs favouring them with anticheat exclusions and whatnot. Sorry if that doesn't garner my respect, especially if that someone has been spamming the same AI-generated paragraph again and again for months just like his pre-nerf M2. Ad hominem? Lol

Can we please get some kind of PvE mode so I can get my friends that arenā€™t into PvP into the game? I have several friends willing to get into this game if PvE is added. Thanks.

When looking at the cashout, please severely dim the icons of dead teammates. This is looking at a cashout from 12 meters away. The cashout is sideways on the ground and there is a Heavy crouched on the other side stealing, right at the center point of the cashout.
There is no destruction dust, but I am looking through an anti-gravity field. I've lost multiple games to just not being able to see through dead teammate icons

I didnā€™t play for a season and my silver friends are now in high gold after coming back. This is heavily influenced by the placements being very skewed towards your last rank. Iā€™m still playing with them, but Iā€™m still mid silver, and the RP differential isnā€™t changing. I feel like it sucks that Iā€™m playing in high gold/plat lobbies (bc there have been multiple ranked rounds where weā€™re eighth seed and post match we see that almost everyone else is plat 4 or plat 3) and we stand to gain RP at the end of the round, but I donā€™t gain barely any more than my friends so the gap never closes. Yes I can play the game more and gain on my own time sure, but Iā€™m busy with life and 95% of the time my friends are on when I get on. Telling me to ignore my friends and play alone would be dumb bc weā€™re doing pretty decently and frankly I wanna game with my boys. So yeah I feel like there should be something like a catch up mechanic for squads of three in ranked to close the gap between friends.

Any way we could bump up the cash values you can earn across different game modes? Deep pockets is the last achievement I have left and this is proving to be brutal, only 51% of the way there.

Or, at least, bring back Bank It. At least there you could earn cash fast

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.
