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 🤡

Soloq update kinda doesn't work in high ranks. Like i am now 50k rs there is no one that soloqs around that rs (kinda normal). I am getting plat randoms that are around 34k rs. 15k rs diff is still a lot. At least it is not like s9.

Starlight hollow kill barrier is way too aggressive. The moment a zone is taken anyone still alive in that zone on the defending team is pretty much guaranteed to die to the kill barrier. It didn’t used to be like this and I don’t know why it was changed to now do so. Pls play test your changes cause this one clearly wasn’t.

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.

ranked is absolute hell
It is not fun to go against smurfs every other match
It is not fun to go against ex ruby/diamond players and getting punished for getting mauled to death by them
It is not fun to go against current ruby/diamond players and getting punished for getting mauled to death by them
It is not fun to lose days worth of climbing progress by losing the first round over slight mistakes
getting better feels rewarding in every other mode, but ranked is just miserable

Your solo matchmaking in ranked play is atrocious, holy hell man.
why am i playing against full clans as a solo queue, why are my ranked teammates 5k less points then me. Multiplayer games have been around for over 26 years and matchmaking systems in game are still terrible

make ranked one knockout round going into the final round. makes lobbies smaller & easier to balance while also cutting down the time it takes to gain or lose rs

I been facing this bug few days ago. It's like, when you running, or in middle of a combat, the character automatically switchs weapons to gadgets or specializations. It's literally becoming unplayable.
second thing is, an issue that i'm started facing today,... every time when i try to match make in tdm or other mode, a notification pops up saying, server not responding,.. why?

As a business major, I think Embark needs to know the marketing tactics of other famous gaming-adjacent brands and learn how they dethroned the kings of their respective genre, so that Finals doesn't lose more market:

  1. Path of Exile (Diablo): Path of Exile never ran away from radically novel ideas, so long as they were fun. They added tower defense with Blight League, farming sim with Harvest League and even a city sim with Settlers League. No one expected these contents, especially NOT the players, but they were so exciting everyone enjoyed them. Sure many of them came in underbaked, but they all got updated and reworked over the years to finally become proper content mechanics. Before them Diablo was the only ARPG known by everyone. But Diablo didn't adapt to market shifts, and now they're basically obscure. Players don't just want new weapons and abilities, they want new contents and mechanics to engage with more. Don't focus on frivolous amenities, add more novel and fun concepts to the game, no matter how wild they sound.

  2. Monster (Red Bull): Before Monster, Red Bull had nearly had 90% of the energy drink in the 90s. Now they spend billions of dollars every years competing against Monster drinks. Monster basically released so many flavour of drinks that tasted delectable unlike Red Bull's medicinal flavour, attracting an entirely new crowd. Not only that, they had so many flavours that it crowded out all the other brands in the shelves, now knows as "Shelf-Domination Strategy". This was so successful even Red Bull was forced to release new flavours just to avoid losing market. Now both are energy drink titans, both with their defining identities and strategies. Finals could've been like Monster here, a newcomer challenging other FPS titans. But they failed on the branding strategies, so badly that most people don't know much about the game especially after OB. Add more flavors, spread your brand around not just as a logo, but as the next big thing.

The wing animation is accurate to a heavy bird of pray landning, thus trying to slow down as much as it can.

Gadget/specialization idea. Give medium a portal gun. One time use until cooldown. And data wall. Similar to heavies shield specialization but for medium. No gun damage is blocked but anything thrown through it gets data shaped into something harmless. Have it timed so it can’t be held up forever or spammed

Melee should be its own game mode. As Matt Lowe said, the majority of players would agree that melee does not belong in a shooter. Move melee into a dedicated melee vs melee mode instead of keeping it in cashout/ranked.

copper mulch
#

Rather than argue the semantics on aim clamp in a circle, I want to illustrate a problem that's been inherent to the whole melee argument and been poisoning the overall discussion on both sides, and why I think it was likely bound to happen from the start.

It's overwhelming in it's advantage state, very weak when in a disadvantage state, and has some very clear cut counter gadgets that make dealing with it palatable.

Taking apart the SR-84 and Sword from a neutral perspective can lead to this same conclusion. The issue is, that requires a neutral perspective, and Sword players—to a level worthy of scientific study—is the target of a severe lack of empathy due to a clash of personalities. This is highlighted in how much more hate melee receives as compared to the SR-84.

Any who plays Melee well quite literally needs to have a very different perspective on gameplay. You no longer see the landscape itself the same, your new advantages and disadvantages changing every single interaction with it. This demands a willingness to depart from what most games offer to an unseen way of play. And when it's threatened, it results in dogmatic support by it's fans due to it's one-of-a-kind nature.

Meanwhile, anyone who struggles against melee players as a rule reinforce the belief that it's overtuned because, in hating it to begin with, are likely inempathetic and unwilling to see into that almost alien perspective, wrecking their ability to predict melee opponents. They rely so heavily on tethering, AOE, and winch that it leaves them more open to every other form of counterplay, reinforcing the belief that melee is fundamentally broken because they can't defeat these players despite using every tool they can against it. They don't even take the time to contemplate the mechanics or how any melee player actually wins fights, inviting misunderstandings and uninformed bias.

Understanding, after all, would mean they make take the time to understand the melee player.

dagger is alright imo, but the slowdown could use a bit of a reduction and maybe a slight quicker strong attack drawtime.
would also be nice that if you're 0.1 sec of backstabbing , but the animation isn't finished, that it wouldn't fail completely

i would also love to see sword multi hitting removed as that also happened with sledge on heavy and i dare to say that sword is more dangerous due to the speed

I would also appreciate it if the sniper got some of it's power back..
every weapon in this game is a better sniper than the actual sniper, it's an actual joke

Serious feedback on Sword

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

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

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

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

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

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

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant. 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 wheel is a stupid way to drop limited time content and needs replacing with something better like a limited time free battlepass or just regular contracts. I have played everyday and used every ticket and i will still have to buy minimum 3 skins, Which of course are COINCIDENTALLY are the 3 most expensive items on there. Its literally just RNG to how much money you will have to spend, in fact is this one even completable without spending money? 20 Rewards and you get 21 tickets? You would need perfect luck to not have to spend money.

EMBARK PLEASE READ this as I believe this may be a perfect fix for the hover pad and I don’t want this to be overlooked.

the hover pad needs adjustments. I can see the vision but it’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 hover pad in a given direction. Example scenario, if a teammate has a box and there’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 doesn’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, that’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 you’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.

# hybrid silo I think they should get the game to a state worthy of marketing first. With the ...

The funny thing is, Marketing IS everything that concerns them. People assume marketing is just advertising and public relations, but there's anothing thing called Market Positioning which encompasses all.

Market Positioning covers everything from what type of products and services one peddles, what their competitors do, and what the customers want and need from it. Finals is a SaaS as all live service games are, but more niche than others as it has something quite unique: class-based gunfights with melee combat available. Unfortunately that's not their biggest problem, melee vs guns arguments are just a distraction. The biggest weakness right now is giving the players an actual reason to return to The Finals and not the games they already play, like Apex Legends, Valorant, OW2 or even TF2.

Path of Exile's current director, Jonathan Rogers said that his biggest fear is not that players will quit the game, but that they will stop coming back after quitting. Warframe avoided that with novel ideas, Destiny 2 didn't, and now one is thriving while the other is shrivelling. Embark should get their Marketing team to focus on their positioning itself as a whole, hire people with actual market knowledge. Ads won't fix the atrocious player retention rate.

And taking idea from Discord/Reddit is even worse because this customer segment is already dedicated to the game. Never delienate them, but the opinions of those newcomers who already left the game needs more priority.

@copper mulch Agreed, melee players are hated quite a lot but that's irrelevant. Melee players are still a minority segment of the game, and their dissatisfaction isn't really a reason for why this game is losing players. The main complaints from melee players all boil down to "please let melee stay broken and spammy cos it has no range" and that's no good. Embark should instead focus on the game itself as a whole and add new mechanics that make the game more engaging.

When are we getting a new Light spec?

I've got a few ideas
-Decoy (preferably placed from the multidevice)
-Orbital laser beacons (like c4 but you trigger it three times after placement before it breaks)
-AOE slowdown (like stun gun but aoe, and on a LARGE cooldown)
-Team speed boost (like vanish bomb)
-Exalted melee weapon (pulling out an extra strong melee weapon and maybe slowing down a bit)
-Pocket sand (instant flashbang cone, not actually this would be horrible)

Tbf Light doesn't really need a new spec, it hasn't been that long since we got the last one

Fuck this game and fuck Embark. Why can I not hear my opponent take the jump pad behind me? Why can I not hear the medium and light sprinting behind me? Why can I not I hear the medium sprinting on the floor above me? Why can I hear everything my TEAMMATES do, but not my OPPONENTS? It's not an issue with my system or my headset. I am using the Arctis Nova Pro with Sonar with the spatial audio surround sound turned on. Active noise cancellation is on and night mode is off. So why can't I hear the things I am supposed to hear? WHY

Embark, if you want this game to be interesting and for people to stop leaving, you need to make MAJOR CHANGES. We have been effectively playing the same meta for the last three seasons. The last addition that changed the meta was the addition of the healing gadgets on Light and Heavy. If you guys keep making microtweaks and worrying about having a perfectly balanced game, the game will get stale and boring. Beyond the addition of Fangwai City, nothing new has basically been added at all. We are literally playing the same guns on the same classes for the last three seasons. It's okay to have something be stronger than other guns for a short period of time--that's what keeps the game interesting. People only get frustrated with overpowered weapons when the weapons on their classes can't compete. Either add some meta-breaking new content next season, or make some meta-breaking balance changes if you want any players to come back at all. And give some love to Medium, since Medium is awfully underpowered.

This is cool and all but Embark themselves have no clue what kind of game they are making.

From what I can tell they really want this game to be competitive but with a ranked mode that has 4 teams, it’s literally impossible to make it competitively fair/balanced.

Right now the game has no competitors because the game is so unique but in the worst way possible. It’s commendable that they want this game to be so unique but there is a reason why other developers didn’t design their classes this way, have guns and melee weapons designed this way and their core game mode designed this way.

Classes are getting more and more similar as the seasons go by, they fail to address issues plaguing their core game mode and once again the new player experience is as bad as can be, so what reason is there to return to this game if you leave it?

With this foundation and the fact that the devs have no clue how to balance this game, there is no point to advertising, because there is nothing to advertise. Admitting that you don’t have a clue how melee weapons should feel/work after 3 years doesn’t do wonders for marketing either.

lol the copypasta spammer 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 cover for your dogtier aim.

  • 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 very 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 method. You think your suggested M1 nerf balances out your M2 buff idea, whereas you never used M1 in the first place because M2 was so cheesy and easy to use. Just learn to aim.

  • 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 AI-formatted copypasta and again and again. You think the devs haven't seen it 100 times over already? All the changes you proposed don't address the core issue for WHY they made the sword buffs in the first place: It had no counterplay point-blank. Just spam M2, dash, repeat. This ain't tricky, this is spammy. Is spamming all you can do? Cos I can too.

Adjusting RS based on individual performance is a bad idea unless you're playing solo queue - and even then, it's debatable. Plenty of ranked games have experimented with performance-based rating systems and eventually removed them.

The core issue is that there's no reliable way to measure individual performance in a team-based game. One player might be making game-saving stall plays or creating space, while another gets the last hits and ends up with better-looking stats. The system rewards what it can track, not necessarily what actually wins games.

Even if it's not 40º, 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 that’s okay. A weaker weapon is better than a dumb patch that destroys its identity.
​Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
​Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do?Every weapon can naturally look back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons can do it?
​Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
​If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
​Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.Just revert it to S1.
​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 sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
​Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

Serious feedback on Sword

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

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

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

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

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

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

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant. 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 placement seems to be a bit wonky. I queued with a friend who had to complete his ranked placement matches while me and another friend where 30k. Now the placement games where extremely hard as we where consistently seeded very low and for the most part we where kicked out of the tournaments early except for one game where we ended 2nd. But in total we had a net gain of 2k in those 4 games ending us at 32k.

When it was time for my friends qualification he ended up at 11k.

Now to be fair we dont want people getting boosted, I understand that. But its strange that my other friend and me receive a net of 2k rating positive by beating our set goals yet it seems like my friend got punished for doing his placements with us. He has previously mostly ended seasons as gold and even plat.

This exact scenario also occured with a friend who placed in bronze before in an earlier season, roughly under the same circumstances. And what makes it doubly hard is that you would like this rating difference to be compensated for over time since if a bronze player plays in plat lobbies and gets a win that means the bronze player is preforming above their weight. But for the most part the same distance stayed between us even over quite a few games. What was even more puzzling was that sometimes when we would lose rank he would lose more then us.

The Finals seems rather unique in this approuch to ranked. And that might have something to do with the fact 8 teams are queueing at once. But it certainly doesn't feel fair.

I dont know if there is a solution to this, it seems to be a problem that requires the statistics you guys have. But I do recognise the problem you stated in an earlier post that the playerbase seems very over represented in lower ranks. While high elo players are sky high above the other competition.

all I have to say is no one in any elo that's good is playing medium anymore, it literally has no role in the current meta so please don't count the medium turrets as a metric to measure medium pick rate.

medium needs buffing/fixing. pleasee im begging. we need a proportionate heal buff, noticable damage buff, and clear meta with Repeater, FCAR, or a new meta like an M16.

my ideas aren't the greatest for sure but medium is useless in the current meta and everyone just laughs about it lmao but an entire class isn't getting picked so what are we even doing?
as cool as the medium attention we got this season is, it didn't fix the glaring issue which is medium is not prominent in any way or even consistent/reliable enough at its ground floor to be picked competitively. if we get to the next TGM and no one is playing medium it's a problem because it does reflect on the real game's state. M doesn't need flashy content just buff us in a fair way, light and heavy are being balanced with the competitive e sports mindset, but Medium consistently gets balanced like it's made for a casual LTM that's meant to not piss the other two classes off. how is the fair or even acceptable for a game that's meant to have real E sport aspirations? please do something with Medium for S11 or S12, you don't have to listen to us for any changes but please call the game fairly / equally through the same lens, because medium def deserves to be looked at through a completive one too. if this was a real sport and you guys were refs you would have caught a few stray fast balls from team medium for your in game decisions by now just saying.

M16's are mostly integrated in 3 round bursts for newer games which gives leeway to balance with mag size if they give us real damage @brave moss

Winch tiny rework:

  • remove stun entirely
  • make winch 15 meters again.
  • Make pull speed faster for objects/cashout and a little slower for enemy players. Players won’t be stunned but they’ll be locked in the pull animation little longer as a compromise.

This should allow for both heavy and enemy to shoot at each other during the winch pull animation. The only locking mechanic the winch will have now is being brought from winch spot to the heavy.

  • 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 method. You think your suggested M1 nerf balances out your M2 buff idea, whereas you never used M1 in the first place because M2 was so cheesy and easy to use. Just learn to aim.

  • 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 AI-formatted copypasta and again and again. You think the devs haven't seen it 100 times over already? All the changes you proposed don't address the core issue for WHY they made the sword buffs in the first place: It had no counterplay point-blank. Just spam M2, dash, repeat. This ain't tricky, this is spammy. Is spamming all you can do? Cos I can too.

Bro talking about realism in the finals where funkiness is its identity. Game is heading to hell. Enjoy your light arn meta. Btw before the sword nerd M1 was still useful because you could still hit your breakpoints with it. Overall sword was better in playstyle. All they had to do was nerf the multihit to delete is carry oppresiveness. And even then sword alone was pretty meh in ruby-high diamond where teams always cheese with meta and coms. Using highground and playin correctly. Melee weapons are supposed to be good up close cus then why add melees in the first place. Quite literally a skill issue

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. Don’t get me wrong I’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 don’t know about everyone else but I was proud to have hit plat in my 2nd season and was hella pissed when I didn’t get a sticker or charm to show off and I can imagine others are too. Again I’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 don’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

No to many of these. Aggressively bad balancing for the most part, some of them make me question if you’ve played this season. Fcar is the best medium weapon and doesn’t need a buff, demat has 3 charges now as of this season. Defib is fine as is, it’s already been nerfed enough.

Db is fine where it is, I don’t think it should be a best in class weapon given how many ppl hate to fight it.

No point in balancing melee rn since the rework is supposedly coming next season

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 ->** 26m**
Damage drop-off maximum range: 37.5m ->** 33.5m**
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.

Blow dart skin for the tracking dart. A reduction to the cloaking fade in effect down to 2.5 seconds and literally any amount less then 30% for the activation cost, 33% is way to much. The Cloaking Device should have similar stats to the mesh shield. If reducing the fade in effect in half is too much at least extend the grace period to something like .6 or .7 seconds rather then the current time which is way to low for the current activation cost. I can't even escape a bad situation like with grapple, dash or cloak prier to all the nerfs because i get shot once and lose my entire cloak meter, this is ridiculous and takes away enjoyment from the game. Please fix Cloaking Device.

Dear Embark Team,

firstly, thank you for reading this. Not sure how frequently feedback in this channel is seriously considered, since this is my first interaction. Secondly, The Finals is peak. I want to give some minor but very specific feedback, which i have yet to see anyone talk about. One thing i notice when coming back from other shooters is that gunplay doesn't feel quite as snappy. This might me because a lot of things are done server-side, like movement that will always feel a little floaty because of it. But i think it's the visual recoil animations, the reticle movement and the very! long hitmarker lingering / opacity transitions. Specifically for the animations, i think the FPV gun model animations for full auto fire appear too smooth/soft (or too slow for the actual RPM?) and feel slightly out of sync/delayed from the actual shots fired. This creates the false, subconscious impression that the gunplay is sluggish (especially to new players), even though real world input latency, for example, is flawless. Furthermore, the reticle transition between each shot is perfectly smooth, as if you are shooting a continuous stream and not distinct individual shots, which doesn't feel as punchy as you'd expect a gun to be. (I know this has been deliberately reworked, but still.) Anyways seriously appreciate the work Oskar Wetterbrandt and the team have done, and I understand that these things might just be artistic choices (like having no COD-like screen-shake/rotations for better readability) and it's not worth the potentially huge effort, if like, one guy talks about it. Anyways, thank you very much for your attention and keep up the great work!

Can the SBMM for casual modes be explained?
I am in the central United States.
I recorded the exact amount of time it took to queue into a round of quick cash for 10 games in a row. This is what I got:
3:14, 3:19, 3:18, 3:17, 3:18, 3:18, 3:18, 3:18, 3:10, 3:13
Its only 9 players a match. By random chance i should get a game or two that only take 2 minutes to queue.
I have noticed that any day of the week, at any time of day, my queue times are 3:10 - 3:30. There is no way in hell player activity is that level and consistent.

My theory is that the game is attempting to SBMM me but cant fill a lobby with enough similar players, so it wastes 3 minutes of my time before it gives up and tosses me into the next available lobby. It's been going on for a few weeks now. One day I logged on and my queue times for quick cash were 3 minutes instead of 1 minute. I get that SBMM is supposed to keep me out of new player's lobbies, but if I'm going to be matched to lower skill players anyways after that 3 minute timer maxes out every single time, can we just skip the part where my time is wasted?

(As i was writing this I got another 3:15 queue time)

Starlight Hollow shouldn't be a TDM map in its current state

Starlight Hollow is by far the least fun map in TDM rotation. There are not enough buildings or cover and this has a variety of consequences.

  • Long range, high mobility play styles are much more effective over close range, slower play styles
  • the lack of buildings and walls to destroy makes the maps feel stagnant
  • spawns are too exposed and players become spawn trapped frequently
  • The lack of verticality drastically reduces the amount of angles players can push from
  • Heavies in particular suffer, because they have limited movement and ranged options.

All of these things limit how players can engage each other. As a result, games on this map ultimately devolve into a few things:

  • Players bunkering in their spawn
  • long ranged battles between lights with Snipers, ARNs, or LH1s, with the occasional FCAR or Repeater medium.
  • one team spawn trapping another team

For comparison, Holtow Sector on Fortune stadium has plenty of long and short angles, as well as verticality. You can do well with either a minigun or a sniper rifle or any thing in between because the map design allows for multiple ways engage the enemy team.

I'm aware that there aren't many dedicated TDM players, but Starlight Hollow needs to be changed or be removed. It's just not fun in it's current state as it forces certain play styles instead of leaving room for variety. In a game designed around "Dynamism" it's by far the least dynamic map.

Dagger needs a buff pretty damn bad.
Even if it was just a slightly faster chargeup by 0.1 seconds and a more readable animation to see when it is actually charged. Maybe the fist that extends out as you charge the backstab remains closed until the backstab is ready, when it would open up to make the weapon more readable? Or make the sound be louder over other audio? I swear, 40% of the time I go for a backstab, it looks like it's fully charged and then my character just doesn't stab when I release.. I know it's supposed to be muscle memory, but it should be at least a tiny bit readable. Also, the downtime between stabs is so damn long that it limits the weapon significantly, basically forcing users to only get a single kill before they either run, or more likely, die. Having a faster chargeup as well as a shorter time for the player to pull the weapon back after performing a backstab, would enable the dagger to be used for way more fun plays. The dagger has so much potential to be a really fun weapon, but it is limited because of how it forces its user to sit in a corner and pre-charge the weapon. I've used the dagger in many games, and it is incredibly fun, but because of the limitations that I mentioned previously, it is impossible to use at any kind of competitive level.
(also if we could get a grapple buff w/ shorter cooldown or maybe multiple charges that would be awesome thanks)

@pearl kiln Hey, I don’t know who handles game feedback, but I’m tagging Oscar in hopes that he’ll convey this message for consideration.

I have a suggestion for a heal beam buff to make it better than H+ again. It’s a specialization, so it should be better than a gadget.

  1. Make the rate of healing slightly faster, I.e. 50 HP/sec vs 46 HP/sec. Not a huge change, but a start to gather initial data.

  2. Maybe adding an alt. fire to heal beam for a big burst of healing, at the cost of using a large chunk of the charge, I.e. Right Click/Left Trigger sends out a projectile that heals 125 HP instantly on an impact, and in a small radius, heals 25-50 HP, but this uses two thirds of the total charge, meaning you have one blast and change before it goes on cool down, allowing for a fast reset to clean up the tail end of a fight, meaning heal beam is good mid fight with sustained healing, and late fight with bursts at a longer range once teammates are low HP.

These are just a few suggestions, and I don’t know how this would change balancing, but please at least try buffing heal beam, and medium specs in general.

# waxen thicket lol the copypasta spammer is back, here's why they'll NEVER revert sword clamp (...

I took a moment to consider your arguments in depth, and at some point it dawned on me that you, just like much of the other people calling for the hammer down on Sword, are completely off the mark and biased towards it, hating it for reasons that are easily applicable to other weapons.

You've repeatedly called for the SH1900 to be nerfed before in this channel, clearly recognizing the problematic nature of the weapon at a fundamental level, but despite effectively being a weapon that deals Sword M2 damage each shot, you seem to have directed significantly more hate towards the sword. You praise the realism for the Sword and use it as a talking point, even while you are pleased with the unrealistic range limitation on the SH1900 and would likely argue for it to be even more acute.

You seem to be sympathetic to the idea that sword needs to be buffed in some way, but you haven't once presented any way for it to be rebalanced, and instead just insult anyone calling for any kind of change to the weapon, labelling Sword players skilless for relying so much on Lunge and melee players as a whole to only play it because they can't aim, and even going as far as to say they're a minority to be ignored. The closest thing to a sword change I've seen you put out in here, ever, is a suggestion for a second weapon slot, which is rather impossible to expect from Embark.

It's genuinely sad to see, because I can only chalk this up to bias and toxicity getting the best of you. There are some actually interesting, competent suggestions on the feedback channel by you, but you seem to be just as tunnel visioned as every other person who seems to despise Sword.

I give you a challenge: if you're going to constantly take the time to reply on this board to sword players, shutting down every argument, take the time to actually try and put forward an alternative that brings Sword back to it's previous potential without renewing the 'spammy m2' you seem to complain so much about.

# copper mulch I took a moment to consider your arguments in depth, and at some point it dawned...

Didn't check the patch notes? SH1900 got that change already. It has more range and accuracy but less damage now, so it's much less pigeonholed than it used to be. It is in a very good position right now, therefore I have no complaints.

As for the sword? Yeah it's not perfect, but significantly manageable if you actually have some aiming skill. Whenever I play light, I personally use sword more than SH1900 nowadays cos it has more teamwiping potential. While the M2 is defintely easier to whiff now, it's actually surprisingly manageable, and all the times I miss it I feel less like it's Embark's fault and more of my inadequacy. But the funnier thing is, as someone who already plays CL40 fervently, I gained some level of expertise at predicting enemy movement to land grenade launcher hits, and it's proven to be quite useful on Sword now. Aiming is just one part, but because of the aim clamp you must also predict the enemy direction a bit before committing to the M2. That way I miss less hits, and it feels more satisfying than before considering how everyone calls it hard to use. The M1 is always there as a fallback in case I miss anyways, even though it is far less useful than people give it credit for. 88 damage is cool, but you're still a 150 light at pointblank swinging at an enemy, so thrust is still the opener you need to win.

For my suggestion? I have none, I'm plenty satisfied with the current iteration. I'll just wait until they bring the Melee Rework next season, see what happens then.

Even if it's not 40º, 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 that’s okay. A weaker weapon is better than a dumb patch that destroys its identity.
​Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
​Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do?Every weapon can naturally look back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons can do it?
​Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
​If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
​Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.Just revert it to S1.
​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 sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
​Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

After doing some testing, I found out that melee weapon hitboxes are dependent on their own animations, which imo is a dumb thing to do in a multiplayer first person game (on a technical level, it depends on animations syncing between server and client, which is overcomplicating things to get right; then there's likely inconsistencies if a first person viewmodel is used...). Because of this, in my testing in the practice range, I could hit an enemy who wasn't even on my screen (FOV 90) with the sword swing.

What if melee weapons (minus spear spin attack) all operated like this: deal damage in the direction the attacker is pointing?

I really hope The Finals gets more advanced mouse and input settings for PC players in the future
Right now it feels like we barely have any real options to fine tune how the game feels on mouse and keyboard
We basically have a few sliders and some basic on off settings while controller players have way more ways to adjust their aim and input feel
I do not mean that in a bad way towards controller players at all
It is good that they have those options
But as a PC player it honestly feels kind of sad that mouse and keyboard does not get the same level of attention
Things like mouse smoothing on off raw input options more precise sensitivity settings separate ADS settings and better zoom sensitivity options would help a lot
What makes it even more confusing is that ARC Raiders already has stuff like mouse smoothing on off
So I really wonder why The Finals does not have the same kind of advanced options when both games are from Embark
The Finals is such a fast game where movement tracking flicks and muscle memory matter so much
That is exactly why more advanced PC input settings would be a huge quality of life improvement
I just want the game to feel as good and as customizable as possible for mouse and keyboard players too
I really hope this gets more attention in the future

Serious feedback on Sword

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Point Break should be granting more points than it currently does. The rounds can go on for even up to an hour at times, it makes no sense for it to give less points at that point than say ranking 3-4th in world tour which can take much less time in comparison

Today I got thrown into another lobby with two teams that had Ruby/Ruby/Diamond players.
Meanwhile, I’m stuck in Gold… what a wonderful ranked mode.
If it’s really that hard to get rid of matchmaking gaps, then maybe you should remove the whole idea of RS adjustments based on the skill difference in the lobby, and simply decide rank gains and losses based on how much cash each team actually steals.

Breach Drill Rework Idea

Both Heavy and Light class have remote trigger-able destruction gadgets, C4 for the former and Brech Charge for the latter. Medium doesn’t have any.

Breach Drill would be the perfect candidate for it. Breach Drill could just become remotely triggering gadgets same as C4 and Breach Charge, and at the same time, be an instant use gadget too. Here how it could work—

Instant Mode- Place BD by pressing right-click or right trigger for instant detonation. Here it would be unchanged, same balance changes.

Remote Trigger- Place BD by pressing left-click or left trigger and the same button to denote it. They could balance its remote detonation, by reducing its explosion radius and/or removing or decreasing flash.

What do you think? Will these change make you use breach drill more?

Even if it's not 40º, 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 that’s okay. A weaker weapon is better than a dumb patch that destroys its identity.
​Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
​Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do?Every weapon can naturally look back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons can do it?
​Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
​If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
​Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.Just revert it to S1.
​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 sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
​Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

Why am i losing elo in a diamond ranked game solo-queuing first seed with a leaver on my team. Fix ur disgusting ranked system, I have to now play 2-3 games winning in the finals because one teammate just left in the first round after the first box. It's unacceptable that a game requiring a third player more than any other team-based shooter game to ever fucking exist doesn't give you some sort of leniency or stop RS loss partially when there is a leaver.

It's kills the game as someone who doesn't have many friends playing the game anymore.

lol the copypasta spammer 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 cover for your dogtier aim.

  • 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 very 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 method. You think your suggested M1 nerf balances out your M2 buff idea, whereas you never used M1 in the first place because M2 was so cheesy and easy to use. Just learn to aim.

  • 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 AI-formatted copypasta and again and again. You think the devs haven't seen it 100 times over already? All the changes you proposed don't address the core issue for WHY they made the sword buffs in the first place: It had no counterplay point-blank. Just spam M2, dash, repeat. This ain't tricky, this is spammy. Is spamming all you can do? Cos I can too.

No matter how many breaks ill take from this game it will always disappoint me. I was a day 1 enjoyer, was always the one to annoy people even non gamers with this "masterpiece", genuinely I've always been loyal spreading propaganda for what I have been believing was THE video game, THE one the fps community always wanted even without knowing it. But, now, I think the finals failed. I mean, no. The finals is greats in theory. Embark, in the other hand, just seems to barely care. Rigged matchmaking, rigged spawns, eomm or whatever kind of algo that have been put in it, difficulties to get high refresh rate on mid end configs, cheating pandemia, smurfing pandemia, weirdo community who harass women, weirdo people FROM embark who harass people (why did i hear it only from a small streamer in france? like it was not important, and from what ive seen at the time it came out they tried to minimise the situation and move on?) all that resulting in an esport scene down fall, etc, etc , etc... the only feeling this game achieve to give me is frustration. I can take one two three breaks from it it will only need 2-3 matches to make me log off. I play plenty other comp games that have their own massive issues still the finals is the game that pushes me away the most, even thougt i still consider it my fav game because of the idea of it. I know there are alot of players in here who will say "then just go" and, it would be right. But it wouldn't change the fact that playing the finals is about getting shit on directly into the throat except for top 500 3 stacks and cheaters. I sincerely regret giving time and money to another meta slut wallet vacuuming soul rough fucking elitist competitive game. Even in stack you feel alone in the finals. You dont feel like you play. You feel like you are a rat in a lab and the game experiments on you. You feel like Embark don't reeeeally really care but do everything to look like they do. Keeping the game just alive enough to profit from it, without really doing anything when there are REAL problems that have ALWAYS at any seasons been complained about. Stop playing popular fps guys it's all money and nothing else nowadays. I thougt it would have been diffferent and better with finals but it ended giving me the worst experience oat, after cod. Bye.

Judging by all the people talking about bugs and ranked etc,
I think next season should be purely about rebalancing, fixing bugs and maybe some quality of life changes.
I know I would like this, but I can't speak for everyone. But I'm sure anyone who actually does like the game and wants it to have longevity won't mind missing out on new cosmetics, map or game modes for a season, especially the cosmetic side of things as it's the finals not fornite.
And maybe doing this and promoting that you are doing this will help bring new players in and bring some players back. Which will be healthy for the game in so many ways and could even help fix the appalling matching making in ranked sometimes, as it is annoying seeing/having to accept the fact that it's down to player counts.

Since Medium is mainly designed for support and flexibility, it should be by far the best class in terms of support and flexibility.

  • give the Medium 4 gadget slots instead of only 3 slots

Game in the deepest decadence:

  • No matchmaking (in any game mode): the most unfair matchmaking 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: what say? check youtube and bunch of webs to buy it
  • Smurfs: if, given a matchmaking system like the one we have (nonexistent), which in any company would get the team instantly fired, you add the number of smurfs there are right now, it means this is now completely broken for good
  • 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.

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

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 )

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. Don’t get me wrong I’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 don’t know about everyone else but I was proud to have hit plat in my 2nd season and was hella pissed when I didn’t get a sticker or charm to show off and I can imagine others are too. Again I’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 don’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

The changes made to either melee as a whole or Sword specifically need to either provide enough power in the advantage state to be worth these costs, or have these problems reduced:

  1. Getting killed often results in your statue being in a bad position to be defibbed
  2. The opportunity cost compared to the ranged options that form the backbone of the competitive meta is severe across a whole team
  3. You can die even while performing optimally due to being DPS-checked.

At least for Sword specifically, I have a good answer that is a compromise between non-sword player's irritation with pre-aim clamp sword gameplay and sword player's grief at the aim clamp deleting movement tech.

  1. Revert aim clamp
  2. Multihits should be kept...
  3. You no longer deal the full damage simply by touching an opponent's hitbox with your sword. You need to track them during your lunge to deal full damage. You deal minute damage as long as they're on target, and when they leave it, you deal damage based on how long you kept them in your crosshair. Overall damage would be higher.

This would definitely need to be heavily workshopped, as I can definitely see it feeling overtuned in situations where a sword player can deliberately keep themselves in place and put their crosshair on an opponent for significantly longer than a normal lunge; but this could be resolved with a Velocity multiplier being a core part of it, with the side effect of granting lunges a sweet spot that you'll want to always watch out for. Perhaps Headshots could contribute more, even.

Additionally, it may be better if it manifests in a similar but different form, coming fully as a DoT effect rather than inconsequential DoT followed by a big damage spike.

Whatever form it takes, I think the general concept is in the right direction that Sword needs to go: retaining movement tech that was possible in the past, improving the damage to properly threaten other lights, and maintaining fair counterplay.

So i seen this is where you put ideas at and i wanted to I think it would be really sick if heavy had these dual gauntlets that you can brawl with and there heavy attack was a charging punch and once you get the punch maxed out it does a knock back like 3 or 4 feet and if you are infront of a wall it does a 1 to 2 second stuff I think that would be really sick and fit with heavys kit Another Idea i had was a skin for heavy sledge and Riot shield First for sledge I think it would be sick if you guys were to make a double sided axe as a skin or giant Sword for the sledge hammer skin i think either one would fit the animations very well. For riot shield I have been wanting a sword and shield skin for a while and you gave them a mace and shield skin which is honestly amazing I still think the sword and shield skin would be sick but I'm fine if you guys at embark don't add it also I think it would be REALLY SICK if Medium had a double handed sword that has a wide horizontal almost samurai like slice.

Embark, please allow us to use Multibucks or, ideally, VRs to purchase new contestant loadouts and outfit slots. There are far too many specializations, gadgets and weapons for us to be limited to 8 loadouts, and on the cosmetics side, only a few more outfits slots are (sometimes) added each season despite there being at least a dozen outfits every season. Thanks for the consideration!

I believe H+ Infuser needs a rework aimed at the very things it does better than the healing beam.
Here's the rework idea:

H+ Infuser now shoots singular projectiles that immediately heal 20% of their teammate's maximum health and instantly start their natural hp regeneration. The gadget could also have either 2 or 3 charges.

This rework would help bring the weapon into a spot where it still has massive heal potential but it can't be spammed as much as it can be now while upkeeping its identity.

Even if it's not 40º, 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 that’s okay. A weaker weapon is better than a dumb patch that destroys its identity.
​Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
​Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do?Every weapon can naturally look back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons can do it?
​Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
​If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
​Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.Just revert it to S1.
​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 sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
​Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

Melee weapon idea:

Add alternate attack options for all melee weapons, executed by either pressing Reload or Light+Heavy as combo attacks. The attacks could be:

Sword: Whirl (Zhin from Paladins)-A forward spinning slash that can quickly close gaps while also hitting everyone in path. Less damage and range than the thrust attack, still.

Dagger: Dagger Throw- Low range, moderate damage, 1 dagger throw instead of 2 daggers like Throwing Knives. Fairly simple, useful fallback option for when enemy cannot be backstabbed cos they're running away, their team's coordinated or ability's on cooldown.

Riot Shield: Shield Bash - Slow but powerful hits without dropping guard, can hold to charge at enemies.

Dual Blades : Leaping Slash (Aramusha from For Honor): Leap forward then cut through, good for closing gaps while also adding a little verticality to dodge shots

Spear: Spear Throw - One of the most requested reworks for Spear, Charge to throw further with more damage.

Hammer: Upward Swing (Ospuze/Holtow LTM events) - Launches enemies upward on hit, allowing for aerial combos and crowd control on enemies.

These would cover up for the limitations of melee weapons so no one would have to rely on broken techs and exploits just to make melee viable.

Day 3 of sending this till embark gives us back the ranked charms and stickers

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. Don’t get me wrong I’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 don’t know about everyone else but I was proud to have hit plat in my 2nd season and was hella pissed when I didn’t get a sticker or charm to show off and I can imagine others are too. Again I’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 don’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

If you got all three cashouts but another team got 2/3 then you'd obviously be ahead. So they gained more money than you by wiping less / killing more / they also actually got one of the second boxes / differences in how many plugs you each got.

In response to your update, this is ignoring the bigger picture. You had already lost a lot of the money you'd gotten here due to team wipes, and either you lost more after this or they gained more from other places without being wiped for this to happen.

I now play TDM exclusively cuz everything else is absolute garbage I can't even stand. My overall winrate is about 10-15% (literally, not exaggerating) while having guaranteed at least >1 KD every game.

Double the building damage minigun does. This would mean it'd take 25 bullets to destroy a wall instead of 50.

This would be similar to the buff KS-23 received towards building damage. Those changes alone help the Heavy feel more like a destructive force.

With the current stats, it just takes way too long and wastes too much ammo for the minigun to be useful for destructive.

This increases the versatility of the minigun whilst also not making it overpowered in combat.

Hey Embark team! I have a cosmetic suggestion that I think would perfectly fit the chaotic, destruction-and-construction vibe of the arena.
​I would love to see a Nail Gun skin for the V95 pistol. Here is how it could work:
​Visuals: Designed like a heavy-duty, realistic pneumatic or battery-powered nail gun (maybe with some yellow/black industrial colors).
​Audio: Replacing the standard gunshot with that satisfying, punchy thwack sound of pressurized air.
​Animations: The reload animation could involve sliding in a fresh strip of metal nails or swapping out the battery/air canister.
​It feels like exactly the kind of creative, DIY tool a contestant would bring into The Finals. Would love to hear what you guys think!

Why would I ever play medium when the H+ is better than medium's best spec? I could use heal beam for the support or go shockwave for the movement, or I could just play light and have both. Not to mention, the H+ heals 280 health in a few seconds, while heal beam heals 253, takes much longer, and has a much shorter range.

Nerf the healing or rof of the infuser so it doesn’t give i frames to the target against 90% of the weapons in the game

Since you said it yourself that the RPG was never meant to be a fight opener nerf it to 50 damage

Make it so no one can shoot through dome so it isn’t just an extra 250 health to the class that already has the most amount of health

Remove winch and forget about adding anything that takes all control away from a player just because their enemy pressed a button

The amount of low level accounts dominating half the games I'm in is not a coincidence. It's not a coincidence that all the level 100+ players on both teams have 6 or less kills while the level 16s and 19s all have 27 kills and 5 deaths. FIX YOUR ANTICHEAT AND BAN ALT ACCOUNTS AND SMURF ACCOUNTS!!! Every single day I play there are a handful of games that are completely lopsided with only the newest accounts dominating the match. Every single time it's lopsided and suspicious, it's always low level accounts. This problem needs to be fixed as soon as possible or this game will never grow. Actual new players have to compete against these cheaters and exploiters on low level accounts, and it's 100% keeping this game from growing to what it should be.
Right after I leave this feedback, I played another game where a level 13 has 20+ kills 9 deaths and dominated everyone on both teams no matter their level. Their own teammates couldn't even compete with a bran new level 13 account. Update the anticheat and ban alt/smurf accounts.

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 ->** 26m**
Damage drop-off maximum range: 37.5m ->** 33.5m**
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. The oversimplified damage buff will never be a solution for the purposes of balancing this weapon. One of the biggest gripes with the 93R is its high poking damage at ranges, cannabilizing the role of weapons like the LH1. This proposal also fixes that.

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.

Some of yall in here are worried about the wrong things as far as balance and wonder why it takes so long for stuff to get fixed. Most of its just a skill issue. (I do think H and L are a bit over tuned tho coming from someone who mains both). Main issue is the matchmaking, medium being nearly useless, and the worst problem imo is the grief meta in ranked. I also feel like instead of trying to balance every weapon it would make more sense to ban or have some sort of vote or removal of weapons in certain game modes. If you know anything about the game you know that certain weapons are a lot better in certain game modes then others. For example running around with throwing knives in a casual game mode makes it a much more viable weapon then something like ranked. Such an easy pub stomp weapon. yea there's areas of the game where i don't know the compete answer when it comes to balancing but for the most part the blueprint is there from other FPS that have a ranked system. So it should not be rocket science to figure out what's wrong with the game. and for the most part the guns are pretty balanced right now.

I just got 2nd place in a ranked cashout, after teammate DCed within the first minute of the first round. Why does the loss prevention only happen if we do badly? We both had double the best performing opponent's kills each, and we got to the finals while also getting third partied and winning engagements against multiple teams. Why is it that I only get the original RS?
If i stopped playing after round 1, I would have gotten the same RS payout. This doesn't make sense?

Make the following improvements to in-match info and post-match statistics:

  • Make the “Elimination Feed” a legit “Game Event Feed” in the upper-right of the screen
    • Feed should include any events that impact game mode objectives (e.g., in Cashout rounds, that would include vault taps, plugs, cashouts)
    • Corresponding money totals or equivalent next to each event (e.g., in Cashout rounds, next to elims, +500; vault tap, +1,000; team wipes, $ equal to -20% of team's cash total; plug bonus, 20% of cashbox value; winning the cashout, i.e., +8k, +12k, +18k)
    • The Feed then highlights and tracks progress toward the actual objective in the game mode (e.g., the total money in Cashout rounds)
  • Fix the post-match “Match Progression” screen from the crazy, indecipherable bar graphs and stats to simply reproduce the “Game Event Feed” from each round, with columns for each team showing running totals of their objective score during the match’s progression, with the ability to scroll through the feed and identify crucial plays and moments
  • Include a screen in the post-Tourney recap that actually shows the cumulative stats for the tournament. As far as I can tell, the only place you see this is right after your team’s final round in the tournament and then those totals basically disappear.

Add a few more “social”-oriented options in the comms wheel in addition to the "Sorry":

  • A “Nice Try” comm
  • A “Big Play” comm (basically something more specific than “Hype” to recognize a teammate’s key play; could say things like “Goated” or “POG” or “You’re better”... lol)

RS needs to function in a way where the best player on the winning team gets the most points.

Awarding a carried bronze the most points and the carrying player the least is backwards and keeps players in leagues where they don't belong. Even though it on paper does sort itself out with enough playtime, y'all need to realize ranked as it is now is way, way too grindy so nobody is in their proper Elos they kinda just float around where they placed unless they're really talented or have a lot of free time.

I feel the way to do this is to have win rates over your last 10 games or so influence RS gain. If you streak and keep streaking, you get the most points on your team at the end of the game. If you're floating or going negative you gain less.

Agreed, we should get at least 10 loadout slots by now. That would encourage players to experiment with more of the classes, and improve the overall health of the game itself.

Also would like to add that since they released the Ultimate Pass, all the bonus pages cosmetics have become shittier. Not an overstatement, before this the bonus page skins were some of the best skins in the whole game, now these are all just boring sidegrades with no real incentive to grind for them. Nowadays it's just an afterthought while progressing sponsorships, or else I'd have stopped playing the game after finishing the basic bp.

Why does the combat zone immediately shift in Point Break? You have 0 time to actually fall back as a defender. What is even the point of this change, it just completely disincentivizes a last second play because if you don’t manage to pull it off you’re just instantly dead and that prevents you from setting up any sort of defense at the next stage. This was a horrible change

Do you think you idiots behind Embark should never play the mod if they don't want to get their heads kicked when they play the game??

What kind of bastards are these bastards who didn't get enough education at home, as if they were made to win solely to beat the time limit in the point break mode??

I just lost a cashout round at the last second, because the shockwave decided to not knockback a stealing opponent. Why these moments that make wanna not exist anymore happen? I don't think it's a bug, it's probably just how it works. The opponent was standing right on the left side of the cashout, and my shockwave probably landed on right in front of the cashout station at worst. At least make him or the station move a centimeter, is it that of a weak gadget?

Hello again, Embark! Chronic TDM enjoyer here.

I've been playing Dragon's Claim pretty much every day (once a day to get my revive challenge) and I find the mode to be very fun. I think Starlight Hollow and P.E.A.C.E. Center are actually both excellent maps for this kind of gameplay, where the objective can be planted anywhere, but there is also a lot of open space and some verticality to balance everything out.

That being said, Starlight Hollow is, at least in my opinion, a terrible map for the other modes. In Point Break, it's not fun to play on because of the lack of destructability and verticality going on, as well as the "high ground problem" and the immense advantage defense has, especially on that first phase. Furthermore, the map in Team Deathmatch feels off because the map design encourages strategies that The Finals' core gameplay doesn't fit in. Rampant camping and sniping are guaranteed every single match, and without the ability to really destroy structures - and, of course, the insane amount of open space - most players, I've found, stick to either only camping or only sniping, and the team that loses is the one that fails their attempt to stop the other team's strategy. It's just not very fun in my opinion because The Finals' TDM is all about unpredictability and making sense of the chaos. I'm sorry, I just have to admit that I frown every time I queue up to Starlight Hollow. It's just painful.

Please consider reworking it if you are planning on keeping it in the TDM rotation. Thanks for the consideration!

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 ->** 26m**
Damage drop-off maximum range: 37.5m ->** 33.5m**
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. The oversimplified damage buff will never be a solution for the purposes of balancing this weapon. One of the biggest gripes with the 93R is its high poking damage at ranges, cannabilizing the role of weapons like the LH1. This proposal also fixes that.

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.

They should change the icon on this channel to something like a black hole as the ear may mislead people to believe that embark actually read all the ideas in this channel and listen to the community. The ear emoji therefor does not accurately represent the purpose of this channel. For anyone who has been mislead by the ear emoji, the purpose of this channel is too make the community feel listened too and to conceal the fact that embark does not give a singular fuck about anything other than the next store update. It is for this reason I believe a black hole would more accurately represent this channel as it would reflect the fact that all suggestions made here will never be read or implemented in the game as the store upadates must take priority of everything. (If there is no black hole emoji a trash can would do fine too.) Also buff mesh for fun 🙂

Hi I don´t know where to post this idea so I thought why not here. I got this little idea for a gamemode. I don´t know if this could be a possibility, but we do have the shockwave ability and Wizard Outfits.
My Logical Connection was that we should have a Wizard Brawl Mode where the Shockwave transforms into a Fireball Spell. Maybe give it 5 Charges and the Gadgets would be Anti-Grav Cube or Grav Vortex with Glitch Nades and Dome Shield. All these abilities would make sense in a Wizard setting in my opinion, so ye. The Game Mode could be based off TDM where you just need kills to get cash to win but with Wizards.
Well this idea came into my head, and I really wanted to share this because why not have Fireball throwing Wizards in the Finals. Maybe have them scream Fireball when its cast as well🙃
Well thats thatmoolah_summer

Hello Embark Studios,

I’d like to respectfully ask the team to consider bringing The Finals to the Nintendo Switch 2.

There’s been a growing number of discussions in the community asking for a Switch 2 version, and several people pointed out that games like Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite and other demanding titles are already running on Switch 2 hardware, especially with technologies like DLSS helping performance.

Some players also mentioned that The Finals already runs on devices like Steam Deck and Xbox Series S, devices that have less flexibility than Switch 2 because the lack of DLSS.

Beyond the technical side, I the Switch 2 could become a great home for The Finals because the platform still lacks modern free-to-play competitive shooters with the same level of creativity that your game offers.

Thank you for continuing to support and evolve The Finals. The game has one of the most unique multiplayer experiences in the industry today, and many Nintendo players would love the chance to join the arena too 🙂

Even if it's not 40º, 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 that’s okay. A weaker weapon is better than a dumb patch that destroys its identity.
​Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
​Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do?Every weapon can naturally look back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons can do it?
​Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
​If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
​Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.Just revert it to S1.
​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 sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
​Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

I suggest that the fix to spawn logic is to not be able to spawn on top of a team that's close together but still be able to spawn on top of individual players if they're far from their team.

Spawning on top of a cashout against a depleted team in the last 30% of its timer is awful.

Also I think you shouldn't be able to spawn next to vaults at the end of a game. Being third partied and sent over 200m away to a vault that hasn't been opened in overtime needs to go the way of the dodo

To the Embark and NEXON Devs,

We are absolutely done. The cheater situation in THE FINALS is completely pathetic now. We are gamers; we play to have fun after a long day. It is NOT our job to spend our free time chasing hackers, recording clips, and opening tickets on your website. That is YOUR job, and right now, you are failing miserably.

The report system is totally broken. I have reported the same blatant hacker over 15 times for a month and a half, and he is still playing in Ranked every single day.

Worse, look at your matchmaking logic: I am a Level 130 player who spent hundreds of hours grinding legitimately. Why am I being matched against fresh Level 2, 4, and 7 accounts running around dropping 28 kills and 15,000+ combat damage in casual matches? Players who are Level 100+ should at least be matched with people around their experience, or Level 50+. Throwing brand new accounts into high-level lobbies proves your matchmaking is a joke.

How are these low-level accounts allowed to clear entire lobbies with zero recoil and 0ms reaction time without EAC detecting them instantly? You are losing your core player base. If you can't provide a clean, fair environment without forcing players to do your job, people will simply leave your game to rot. Fix your security, fix your matchmaking, and start banning these low-level garbage accounts instantly.

I would love a change to the Ranked Map Pool. I’m fine with Kyoto, and honestly any map if they would please, for the love of whatever God you believe in, remove moving platforms from all maps. Also, allow us to vote for a map to ban at the beginning of a match. Have a pool of three selected at the beginning of each round, and each team votes on a map to exclude, and if it’s a 50-50 split between two, one is randomly excluded.

Invisible lights should not be able to go fully invisible while mantling, I agree that it should apply while standing still though, also the vanishing bomb effects should not apply the same level of invisibility as the cloaking device. Make it so invis bomb doesn't allow you to go fully invis when standing still to make it less appealing as a gadget and make the cloaking device more appealing as a spec in comparison to dash.

I genuinely think THE FINALS needs a social hub...similar to Warframe or old MMO spaces.

Let players hang out between matches, skillshare, show off drip, inspect builds, queue together, watch live unranked matches on screens, run mobility mini-games, trick-jump courses, shooting ranges, sponsor lounges, etc

While you're at it. Cashball too ✌️

Consider adding a “Private ELO” metric for players to track, as a significant improvement to the overall experience of The Finals.

  • Add a non-progression-related “Private ELO” that a player can track for any game mode that they play (for instance, a player could have a Cashout ELO and Power Shift ELO). The ELO is updated after every match based on the strength of opposition and teammates, results of the match, and the player’s individual performance. Does not need to be transparent.
    • Many players have as their primary motivation simply a desire to improve at the game, not to accumulate skins or badges and the like.
    • Many players do not play ranked for any number of different reasons, so they do not have a Ranked Score to improve.
    • Even Ranked Scores are geared toward progression, and to some extent grinding, and not necessarily how a player is performing or improving, and Levels and World Tour points are basically uninformative.
    • Players can certainly elect to share their Private ELOs, and in fact, many will (I can imagine all the screenshots already). I would wager that competitiveness over these ELO scores would do more for player engagement than a lot of the other mechanics currently in the game.
    • Players just picking up the game can focus on their improvement rather than their absolute performance, which initially can be pretty dismal and frustrating for many, if not most.
    • SBMM is essential for the game, imho, but because of SBMM, a player finds it hard to know how they are improving. They could have steady performance, but if it’s against better and better players, that steadiness becomes misleading. Similarly, you can put up big stats but not know if it’s because you were playing weak players, or bad stats but not know if it’s against stronger players. Direction of ELO changes will hint at the truth.

Also, are "Wheel" complaints simply due to bad UI? I get grayed out buttons that still say I have "1 ticket". Just make it "0 tickets".

#

Because movement, survivability, and damage can all happen at the same time with minimal commitment, dash removes the need to choose between escaping and fighting. Most other tools in the game force a tradeoff between repositioning and output, but dash lets you do both at once with high reliability.

A low-impact fix would be to make dash always move in the direction of the crosshair, like it already does when no movement keys are pressed. In that state, dash goes straight relative to aim even if you spin during it: https://streamable.com/agly3t

If dash were tied to crosshair direction, that changes:

  • Escaping would require committing your aim away from the target
  • Continuing to deal damage would require committing your movement toward or around the fight

That separation brings back meaningful decisions under pressure. Instead of one input covering multiple problems at once, players would have to prioritise - either disengage cleanly or stay engaged and risk punishment.

Right now, dash collapses those decisions into a single low risk action. Even when caught in the open, it feels tankier than heavy while dealing damage. Examples from pro play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2746415466?t=3h30m21s and https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2752067545?t=1h54m19s

Adding directional commitment would restore that layer of gameplay without reducing the skill ceiling.

You guys should add a magic wand weapon for light! I was thinking it could have two different casts similar to how melee weapons have different attacks. primary could be a basic fireball that does little damage and little dot burn, but can be cast quickly; secondary could be a small aoe lightning bolt that shoots from the wand and does big damage and shocks opponents for a max of 1.5 seconds . To make the secondary attack more balanced, the only way you could use it is by building up magic power through hitting enemies with your primary attack. I don't really mind how the weapon works, but overall I really think you should add a magic wand weapon that has some sort of fire based attack mixed into it so all three classes can have a respective fire weapon! If you read this Embark, please take it into consideration since I think it would be a cool addition to the arsenal for light and it would add new interesting mechanics that you could expand on later!

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.

Games like CS2 and Apex Legends already proved that you don't need a well-balanced roster of weapons and gadgets to be successful. Finals isn't losing players because of balance, there's another bigger issue.

Finals' current biggest problem is that is fails to stand out against other multiplayer games. F2P games regularly pump out groundbreaking new contents to entice the players, no matter how absurd they sound. Like farming sim and tower defense in Path of Exile, or spaceship combats and open world maps in Warframe. Valorant and Apex Legends does it by adding new mechanics in addition to new heroes/weapons, to accomodate players who won't be using them.

And no, lack of balancing or advertisements are not the reason for that. CS2 is notorious for having maps that are clearly T-sided/CT-sided and some weapons are so objectively bad that even buying one can be grounds for getting immediately votekicked by your team. TF2 hasn't had a proper update for years now despite having so many underpowered weapons, yet they have significantly more players than Finals even when it releases a new seasonal update. Hell, even the Open Beta playtest still has more average player number than the current game, and it has been dead for 3 years now. That gave it all the advertising it needed, yet it couldn't even hold onto half of those players.

Why? It's simple, really. Finals doesn't give those players a valid reason to stick around. Cosmetics are cool, but gameplay is where it counts. New game mechanics, new systems, that's what attracts players. Finals needs to add more fun gameplay mechanics, no matter how disruptive it is for the base game. Only then can it stop bleeding playercount and gain more instead.

People are complaining about Medium being weak now (used to be Light). The easy complaint is that the class doesn't have an identity now that all classes have healing utilities.
The "Engineer" is the name of one of the pre-made Medium "playstyles", if I recall correctly, but it could really be a broader identity to lean into for the Medium class.
This would mean working harder on making specializations and gadgets like Demat, Data Reshaper, Hover Pad, and Breach Drill more interesting, higher value, and with more potential for skill expression and creativity.
I've suggested some ideas for those utilities in the past, but the main thing is that "Engineer" could serve as a concept that could inspire all of the design choices for the class. Perhaps one way to think of the concept is that an Engineer should be able to create and utilize lots of controlled changes in the environment, which would lend itself to viable playstyles as part of a team or even competitively, but also playstyles that are fun and viable to play as a solo or casual.
Anyway, sometimes I think I'm just imagining things when it comes to this game, but I want to say there was an AMA recently where the people answering questions were joking about "what to do with the Medium class." If so, I suppose this is my best idea on the subject.

Invisibility Class Light. Either make it quieter or the invisibility actually make you invisible- but vanish bomb is not the reason Invis isnt used. Its because Invis is kinda useless when used alone- you have to either have a team build around it or play far range- and if I activate invis while escaping- unless I stop moving or I am in a small space to escape too I am either seen or heard- Invis all in all is super situational unlike Dash or Grapple which have better situations- can still be used everywhere and have the same effect of being a useful escape- where as with Invis light you can run into a room, use invis, and if they know how to spot invis they can still shoot you and you have no way of escape

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

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

And plz watch this

the finals adds more content than apex and cs2 and has less players than each of them your point is invalid the finals struggles bcz it's too consuming (the only real next gen game available) also gamers are genuinly so brain rotted that they need a shit laod of content no matter the quality of it bcz they ated the mac donalds update of fortnite once, basicly playing games to spend time and always being stimulated bcz it moves a lot instead of playing games for thier gameplay concept, i've been playing the finals with that mentality and it never gets old change your way of playing games the finals offer a big diversity of gameplay possibilities with the modes gadgets specializations weapons maps and classes i'd go even further and saying that the game don't even need new guns (but i know that your fat ass needs more so ur brainrotted brain had enough not a good way to develop a game and playing them)

these are some random gripes i have.

For any new player playing the sword, it feels really, really clunky.

  1. When you try to charge up your lunge ability. It doesn't give you feedback on when to let go. so When you let go too early, You go nowhere and die. instead of doing a short lunge, Like most people would expect. it just stops your momentum and that screws you over in multiple different situations.
  2. There's no charge up indicator That shows whether you're you're about to do a short lunge (if it gets added) or a normal one.
  3. You can run into a closed door and it will open automatically, but doing the same thing while it's open will get you stuck in a corner between the wall and the door.

Also, what happened to being able to see the reticle on the scope that you equip in that loadout before you get in game? That worked a while ago. why did it stop working?

Because movement, survivability, and damage can all happen at the same time with minimal commitment, dash removes the need to choose between escaping and fighting. Most other tools in the game force a tradeoff between repositioning and output, but dash lets you do both at once with high reliability.

A low-impact fix would be to make dash always move in the direction of the crosshair, like it already does when no movement keys are pressed. In that state, dash goes straight relative to aim even if you spin during it: https://streamable.com/agly3t

If dash were tied to crosshair direction, that changes:

  • Escaping would require committing your aim away from the target
  • Continuing to deal damage would require committing your movement toward or around the fight

That separation brings back meaningful decisions under pressure. Instead of one input covering multiple problems at once, players would have to prioritise - either disengage cleanly or stay engaged and risk punishment.

Right now, dash collapses those decisions into a single low risk action. Even when caught in the open, it feels tankier than heavy while dealing damage. Examples from pro play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2746415466?t=3h30m21s and https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2752067545?t=1h54m19s

Adding directional commitment would restore that layer of gameplay without reducing the skill ceiling.

Hey Embark, I've been playing The Finals for about a year now. I have to admit it's a fun game but one thing it's missing is having secondary weapons. I feel that the game could increase in popularity if the concept of the game was different yet there are still somethings that are familiar. Thank you for developing such a great fps. I am shocked at how you guys still make major updates because, I thought you guys were going to shift all your focus on Arc Raiders.

What is with Embark's obsession with removing tech? Is it supposed to make the game more fun? Would Quake have been more fun if they had removed strafe jumping and rocket jumping? would TF2 be more fun without trimping and damage surfing? Even Fortnite knew to keep rocket riding in the game because it was harmless and fun. I don't understand why these devs are so intent on killing their game by making it just as boring as all the other shooters in recent years.

embark literally made a whole blog on why they don't want tech in the game. this isn't a source game or arena shooter from the 90s, it's a live service game where all tech has to be considered in balancing, that's why every time sword got tech it was removed because it was straight up unbalancable and broken.
goo sticking was addressed recently, they kept it in, even if it was unintended from the start, and balanced it (while also nerfing goo as a whole)

That reminds me, we should have rocket jumping and damage surfing too. Here are the proposals, inspired by TF2 (Yes, both Titanfall and Team Fortress)

  • Grenade Jumps, Rocket Jumps by giving all explosive self-damages innate knockback

  • Double Jumps and Wall Running for all classes, would go very well with the Respec Order changes as everyone would have similar speed.

Also that comment about being as boring as other shooters in recent years? Yeah double-dipping speeds with melee and abilities is not "harmless fun", stop being so childish.

Even if it's not 40º, 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 that’s okay. A weaker weapon is better than a dumb patch that destroys its identity.
​Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
​Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do?Every weapon can naturally look back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons can do it?
​Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
​If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
​Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.Just revert it to S1.
​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 sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
​Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

The Show token currency (the one you use to unlock old battle pass items.) for new players, It's a great system. But for the vets it's practically as useless as VRS.

Why not let the vets use Show Token to skip the battle pass level? Just make it expensive as hell like 15-20 tokens per level so it's expensive for new players to use it on new Battle Pass level over the old Battle Pass item, but give a new purpose to old players who doesn't have a way to engage with this mechanics since its introduction in Season 7.

Please consider making IOMMU mandatory alongside Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 for Ranked play in THE FINALS. Advanced DMA-based hardware cheats are becoming increasingly common in competitive games, and requiring IOMMU would help prevent external devices from directly accessing game memory and bypassing anti-cheat protections.

If these protections are important enough for tournament environments in other major competitive titles, they should also be considered for Ranked playlists where competitive integrity matters most. Most modern systems already support TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and IOMMU/Kernel DMA Protection, especially on Windows 11-compatible hardware, so the impact on legitimate players would likely be minimal while making hardware-assisted cheating significantly more difficult.

Epic Games recently expanded anti-cheat protections in Fortnite tournaments by requiring TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and IOMMU support to combat increasingly sophisticated cheats. Their announcement highlights why layered hardware security is becoming necessary in modern competitive PC gaming.

Day 5 of sending this till embark gives us back the ranked charms and stickers

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. Don’t get me wrong I’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 don’t know about everyone else but I was proud to have hit plat in my 2nd season and was hella pissed when I didn’t get a sticker or charm to show off and I can imagine others are too. Again I’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 don’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

The Middle East deserves dedicated servers in The Finals because the region has a massive and growing player base that currently suffers from high ping and unstable connections when forced onto European or Asian servers. In a fast-paced competitive game where reaction time, movement, and precise gunplay are everything, playing on 100–150+ ping creates an unfair disadvantage for Middle Eastern players. Adding regional servers would improve matchmaking quality, reduce latency, create a more competitive environment, and help grow the game’s community across countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait. It would also show that the developers value their international audience and want all players to experience the game as it was meant to be played.

Seconding this. Also, I would like to ask for some small but impactful changes to Lunge:

  • Significantly reduce the lunge speed reduction, but only after it's been fully charged. Either would pair well with the increase in player tracking demanded by the aim clamp changes, as being able to dodge better would enable more time to adjust and survive against Light opponents. It would still retain the ability to punish the Sword player for preparing a lunge in front of an opponent and/or missing one.
  • Give around one and a half seconds of time after leaving the ground where you're still able to lunge. This would enable interesting movement tech, especially in combination with vertical mobility aids; in my opinion, the increase in skill expression would make a reversion of the vertical 90 degree clamp buff worth it, if it was deemed necessary.

Also, while I'm here, I want to touch on Quick Melee and aim assist, which is something that affects Lunge significantly (to allow you to one-shot lights):

  • Melee aim assist mainly benefits non-melee players, ironically. This is due to the lack of control over movement it forces as it moves your camera, the jarring effect that has on gameplay as a whole, as well as the way it can target the wrong opponent in dense CQC situations. As a result, most who play melee will keep it off, at least from my experience. This results in the bonus burst damage at point blank against low-health Sword and Dagger players to be practically free due to how easy it is to connect, and is rather unfair to the melee players who choose to leave it off and get punished by a feature that, ostensibly, is meant to benefit them. If we could at least get the option of making this exclusive to Quick Melee, rather than universally applied, it would balance that out.

Spawn timers definitely need to be looked at for cashout. Even if the first vault fight is only slightly extended, and you don't have a gateway - it's almost guaranteed that there will be a team waiting for you at the closest station. It's incredibly unfair that the team who got wiped first on the other side of the map gets this massive positional advantage over a team who earned the right to plug by winning a tough vault fight... I'm sorry but the team who literally wipes first in the whole round deserves to be punished with a longer timer (HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT!??)

Additionally - the spawns have felt horrendous over the past month. Just too much chaos that the game feels less competitive/fair. I don't know if it's just the culture of the game that's shifted, but the spawn system definitely needs to disincentivize third-parting with increased distance/time from 3rd party opportunity

TDM and Point Break are my two favorite modes, but Starlight Hollow ruins them both every time. Is there a rework planned? Please communicate with us. It seems online sentiment about the map is universally negative from what I've seen.

improve anti cheat, i dunno what you did but since the last update there has been an increase in cheaters running scripts and having aim bots/head seeking on. i dunno what you guys are doing but you have to fix your game

Add Server feedback report in the after match screen, also add server location to the bottom right where the server code is, i wanna know if im searching NA and you give me asia so i can get the fuck outta that shit hole since all your servers are dog shit.

Embark PLEASE bring 4v4v4v4 cashout to the US/global version of The Finals

#

The Finals needs to be more The Finals

This feedback is my opinion as a semi-casual player and only about theming/feeling/excitement

Seasons:

  • 1st Place: Season 0, 1, 4, 8
  • 2nd Place: Season 2, 3, 7
  • 3rd Place: The rest

They're all winners and all have a place but when a season makes a different theme the primary focus and the The Finals itself feel secondary for an entire season leads to less excitement/burnout. ~90 days is too long to do that. Season 5 and 9 I played the least. 10 would be the same if I didn't LOVE the battlepass.

As an additional note, the world tour events were always a fun change as well as limited time modes. they do usually breathe excitement back in if they're enjoyable.

Arenas:

  • S-tier: Nozomi/Citadel, Fortune Stadium, Kyoto, Skyway Stadium, Las Vegas (Stadium), Monaco and Seoul
  • A-tier: SYS$HORIZON
  • B-tier or below: Bernal, Fangwai City, P.E.A.C.E. Center, and Starlight Hollow

The best arenas are the ones where you can heavily feel the gameshow/VR aspect. What amps up the destination maps is having more map variants and more in-game gameshow features than the base package (pads, button items, audience, screens/displays, balloons, etc.)

Bernal and Fangwai City:
Bernal at least has suspended structures and fog, otherwise is just the base package. Fangwai City is beautiful, but outside of the base package it is literally just standard issue with day/night

Starlight and P.E.A.C.E. Center:
same issues as above but aren't included in Cashout which is the gameshow's primary focus and identity

the above 4 are great maps, but feel too much like their own location than a dynamic and virtual arena when compared to the others.

Monaco, Kyoto, Las Vegas (Stadium), and Seoul:
all destination maps that have at least 3 different physical versions that make the arenas feel more dynamic and virtual. They also have more modifiers than just day/night/bit of fog

Fortune Stadium, Nozomi/Citadel, and SYS$HORIZON:
built on the gameshow idea/lore which is why they work fine without variants

Skyway Stadium:
built on the gameshow idea AND has variants making it the most dynamic and virtual arena in the game

Is there anyway we can fix matching so I can stop getting the "humble 7th seed" and getting matched with rubies in plat lobbies? 4 game losing streak cuz Embark decided I'm good enough to play against rubies, how is it fair that someone who is gold/plat should play against the TOP 500 of people who don't log off the game or play anything else for that matter, 3 stack of rubies just doing whatever they want cuz no one wants to fight them. I made good progress yesterday into plat 2, I'm now lower than I started yesterday because of the ever so "humble 7th seed"

Not sure if its a glitch or supposed to be that way, but the kill feed doesn’t roll, sometimes if my teammates get a kill it will come up, random tracer rounds flashing across my screen wont even be near a fight and bullets will fly across my screen. Players icons not matching the characters icon heavy players running around with a little dash symbol next to their health bar, some issues I’ve noticed as of late, kill feed and random tracers have been around for 2 seasons i think

Feature Suggestions for Physics & Core Weapons

  1. Minor Environmental Debris Damage
    • The Idea: Add a small amount of physics chip damage (roughly 20 HP) to players who get directly hit by collapsing ceilings or major falling walls.
    • Why it works: It rewards tactical destruction (like using a minigun or sledgehammer to drop roofs onto camping squads) without instantly wiping out lower-HP Light classes.

  2. Throwing Knives Wall-Bounce Ricochet
    • The Idea: Allow Throwing Knives to bounce off hard surfaces (concrete/steel walls) at least once before breaking.
    • Why it works: It gives Light players a fun, high-skill utility weapon to flush enemies out of corners or tight rooms without needing heavy explosive builds.

  3. Throwing Knives Jump Pad Interaction
    • The Idea: Allow Throwing Knives to bounce/launch off Jump Pads if they hit them, matching the physics of other projectile weapons and gadgets in the game.
    • Why it works: Right now, grenades and canisters can use jump pads for cool trick shots, but knives ignore them. Adding this lets Light mains pull off awesome angle shots over high walls or down corridors!

My thoughts on the Scales of Fortune event:

-This is the BEST incarnation of the wheel yet, and is how it should stay for the foreseeable future
-The wheel's contents themselves are very high quality, well themed & very minimal on filler

-Dragon's Claim is a great first draft for a King of the Hill mode in THE FINALS, but it will certainly need work if/when ported to standard gameplay
-With more interesting class-trades (dome shield on Medium, APS on Heavy), I think this mode could've done well with having the first PRIMARY WEAPON transferred between two classes, especially as the melee-focus of the mode kinda makes light a throw pick 99% of the time
-The planting bonus needs to be retooled, maybe lowered to 1500 flat or changed to increase based on total time possessing the flag overall
-Variation in the mode would've been nice too, being taken to the other two maps of Starlight Hollow
-We should get temporary outfit slots during preset loadout events to better customize our uniforms used in the LTM
-Not being able to place gadgets on the treasury zone's gold pile harms the defensive options given to some classes

Because movement, survivability, and damage can all happen at the same time with minimal commitment, dash removes the need to choose between escaping and fighting. Most other tools in the game force a tradeoff between repositioning and output, but dash lets you do both at once with high reliability.

A low-impact fix would be to make dash always move in the direction of the crosshair, like it already does when no movement keys are pressed. In that state, dash goes straight relative to aim even if you spin during it: https://streamable.com/agly3t

If dash were tied to crosshair direction, that changes:

  • Escaping would require committing your aim away from the target
  • Continuing to deal damage would require committing your movement toward or around the fight

That separation brings back meaningful decisions under pressure. Instead of one input covering multiple problems at once, players would have to prioritise - either disengage cleanly or stay engaged and risk punishment.

Right now, dash collapses those decisions into a single low risk action. Even when caught in the open, it feels tankier than heavy while dealing damage. Examples from pro play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2746415466?t=3h30m21s and https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2752067545?t=1h54m19s

Adding directional commitment would restore that layer of gameplay without reducing the skill ceiling.

Some quality of life ideas/feedback of mine after 600 hours of playtime :)

  1. Allow us to play private matches alone to explore/cathartically destroy maps

  2. Show some sort of indicator that a kill was made with a headshot in the kill feed

  3. Show the weapon and sights of your killer under their player card (mostly to help new players)

  4. Allow the purchase of new loadout/contestant slots with VRs

  5. Allow for each contestant slot to have its own player card (I think this is coming already, if I remember right) as well as a custom name

  6. When playing in a party, have the names of your party members in the HUD, scoreboard, and gameplay be a different color, such as yellow or green

  7. Allow players to choose what part of their intro animation pose is shown on their player card (Soul Calibur VI is a great example of how this could work)

  8. Have an additional "Appearance" tab for a "voice filter," allowing us to equip filters from cosmetics we own without necessarily wearing that specific cosmetic

  9. In TDM, re-instate the skull icon that used to appear at the spot of a teammate's death (removed along with the revive statues in a recent season)

  10. Allow for weapon sights to be visually tested when selecting them, and for them to ideally be swapped in gameplay

  11. Add an option to use iron sights on the Light's sniper rifle

  12. Rework Starlight Hollow or, at the very least, remove it from the TDM rotation

Thanks for making my new favorite multiplayer game.

Day 6 of sending this till embark gives us back the ranked charms and stickers

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. Don’t get me wrong I’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 don’t know about everyone else but I was proud to have hit plat in my 2nd season and was hella pissed when I didn’t get a sticker or charm to show off and I can imagine others are too. Again I’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 don’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

Also CHANGE BACK THE RS SYSTEM THE UPDATE IS RIDICULOUS AND DROPS YOU SO MUCH

A "Show Variants" button would be most excellent when prebuilding outfits to save for later purchase. I've found myself buying a cosmetic only to later find a variant of it that I like more in further down in the item list.

Being able to see all the variants (cosmetics that have the same mesh but different textures) of an item without having to scroll up and down to compare the two would be alleviate the frustration that comes from this.

They add a ton of dynamism to the game and a weapon form that emphasizes movement, positioning, and most importantly good decision making over aim. They 100% belong in the game and if you really feel that strongly about it you just need to learn better movement.

Literally just don’t give them 1v1 and you beat them every time. Both M melees are ONLY good at 1v1s.

@r.r2111#0000 response indicates skill issue tbh - you don’t need your randoms to “react to your 20th” ping if you aren’t separated from your team in the first place. There are also like 10 hard counters to riot in the form of all other melees, charge n slam, all explosives, flamethrower, shotguns, etc

For the love of GOD please evaluate the ranked system.

I was 37k yesterday facing two ruby teams(51k). I was 11-2 so we got targeted and griefed out. And i lost 900 points. Where in the sake of fak is the balancing in that? Im playing against top 200 players with a freaking smurf on their team so they can boost their goddamn rank. This is in asia server btw. “We have reworked the ranked system 🥴” this season has been worse than all previous ones. I am being placed in ruby lobbies the last two weeks. I have screenshots of lobbies so diverse it’s laughable.

  • silver until diamond(im plat)
  • gold until ruby(also in plat)

This should not be a thing, and people who grind shouldn’t be facing these kinds of harsh environments of losing 900points sometimes up to 1.2k dealing with top 500 players.

They should not be placed in low lobbies, and your strategy of 3 stacking with someone with 10k below points should be harsher. Make it a range of 5k max. Nobody in ranked wants to play with people a full division lower when you two stack, and no-one in plat lobbies want to loose that many points against top 500 players.

Also a lot of people just boost themselves with private discord groups, griefing other teams out and letting each other win finals on and off. This is so lame, its petty actually.

And last but not least fix the freaking anticheat, verify email because these cheaters are getting out of hand with their wallhacks, cronus and aimbots its killing the game!

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

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 think Ranked could benefit from a different qualification system.

What if the first team to reach $20,000 immediately qualified and left the match (maybe switching to spectator mode)? After that, the game would continue with only one cashout box active.

This could help reduce situations where the team in first place griefs the entire lobby.

Then, the second team to reach $20,000 — or the team that wins the final remaining cashout — would qualify as well. Reducing teams constantly running away with boxes instead of fighting.

I feel like this could create more fair and aggressive endgames instead of stalled matches.

# hearty bough They add a ton of dynamism to the game and a weapon form that emphasizes movemen...

I love this logic that if someone complains about something it’s because they struggle against it. I never die to riot or dual blades.

Literally all you have to do is turn around and hold w, unless you are heavy because you can delete them just like anything else and there you go, you started a dbd chase and you have to run until they get bored or your randoms decide to react to your 20th ping for help. If that is considered a fun gameplay loop, a movement check and requires good decision making then that is astonishing.

I feel strongly against them because they are literally just time wasters unless you don’t have 2 working brain cells and decide to just stand there and shoot them while they walk up to you and kill you. You can’t even call it a 1v1 cuz you both are just running away from each other.

@hearty bough I never die to them ——> skill issue. Nice

You are right, there is no chance that you can get separated from your team during a fight and the randoms you get will always stick by you no matter what, you are 100% right.

Love how even in your examples for hard counters most of them are on heavy, which I specifically stated that they can delete riot without effort. I‘m talking about when you are using a normal gun and the “counter” is to just run away and that it’s shit gameplay wise.

Hello Embark Studios,

I’d like to respectfully ask the team to consider bringing The Finals to the Nintendo Switch 2.

There’s been a growing number of discussions in the community asking for a Switch 2 version, and several people pointed out that games like Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite and other demanding titles are already running on Switch 2 hardware, especially with technologies like DLSS helping performance.

Some players also mentioned that The Finals already runs on devices like Steam Deck and Xbox Series S, devices that have less flexibility than Switch 2 because the lack of DLSS.

Beyond the technical side, I the Switch 2 could become a great home for The Finals because the platform still lacks modern free-to-play competitive shooters with the same level of creativity that your game offers.

Thank you for continuing to support and evolve The Finals. The game has one of the most unique multiplayer experiences in the industry today, and many Nintendo players would love the chance to join the arena too 🙂

Hello Embark Studios,

I would like to discuss my experiences and thoughts about the current ranked mode in The Finals.

As with any competitive fps game there will always be upset in the way matchmaking works. While I have come across unpleasant experiences of my own, my focus is not on matchmaking in itself, but the newly added rule that players must be within a certain RS threshold to play with one another.

As a casual gamer, I love to play games like The Finals as a social experience. From day one of the game's conception I have been stealing chashouts and tormenting lights with the RPG-7 alongside friends. Recently, I haven't had much time to play ranked as often as previous seasons. You can imagine my disappointment when I logged on with a buddy only to receive a message that read my RS was not high enough to play with my own party member, who has been playing ranked more often than me. I rarely play this game alone and find it far less appealing to my gaming style. Because of this new rule, I am forced to spend hours of my time just to play with a friend and member of my own party.

Despite my lack of interest playing solo, I care much more about spending the time with my friends so I toughed out ranked and hit the grind. After losing just two matches due griefing and teammates that dropped halfway though matches I am now hours farther than I was to start. I am aware that some compensation is available due to unfair play, but I feel it should not be my duty to put in time and effort only to play with a friend of similar skill level but different game time availability.

I understand the necessity of adding more strict matchmaking rules to ranked, but the current system has a major flaw. You have an impressive team, please take note of my experience

starlight hollow would have been a good map if the castle was an actual play area but we don't have that so it just sits to be worse than kyoto.

split field
#

There should be a ranked map ban phase similar to rainbow six siege's ranked gamemode, with options for maps and teams vote on which to cancel out, and then by random choice picks one of the others. I feel as though this would heavily increase the enjoyment of the game to be able to vote off maps like kyoto and fangway in ranked, allowingplayers to have a more pleasent experience in ranked specifically

FIX RANKED.

So many things are not optimal compared to other games with ranked modes.

WHY DO I LOSE RS if I’m on a 2 person team the whole game, why is there zero additional RS for escaping elimination first round.

WHY IS IT STILL WAITING ON A PLAYER WHO HAS DC’D and NOT EVEN COMING BACK THE FIRST LET ALONE SECOND ROUND.

Imo in cashout, the concept of tempo is very cool, albeit probably contributes to the most frustration among the mid tier playerbase. I think to completely lose the tempo aspect of 12s would be very unfortunate. The feeling of racing against the other side of the lobby and influencing what is happening on the other side is all very cool.

However, I do agree that there's a point where tempo becomes so unbelievably horrid that the round is effectively ruined. Maybe instead of removing vaults entirely from 12s, they could make vaults expire. If the vault were to expire, it would automatically plug into the non-activated, or otherwise nearest, cashout. If it expires, the plug money is lost entirely and the cashout has to be "claimed" (like the final round idea. Altho the timer would be started). I think if it expired like a minute after it spawned it would be good.

This would prevent major staggers that ruin matches and serve as a more obvious punishment for taking too long in those vault fights. The latter of which would help reduce long term frustration for the mid tier players.

Idk why they were even added. All it did was remove even more of mediums identity. It made it not the support class it was, and it kinda made light the all rounder instead.
I really think giving each class back its distinct identity would really help the game out.

Like shifting the gadgets around to give light more methods of movement/flanking/recon gathering, giving medium more ways to support/prepare defenses (kinda like turret), and giving heavy more ways to destroy stuff/soak up damage

Feature Suggestion: In-Game Match History / Past Scoreboard
TabType: UI / Quality of Life
Request Description: Please add a native "Match History" tab directly into our Career or Profile menus. Why it matters to me: I find it frustrating to rely on third-party tracking apps or manual screenshots just to look back at my previous games. I want a built-in archive of my last 10–20 matches so I can easily analyze my performance, track my personal improvement, and review combat metrics like K/D/A and objective scores. Having this archive would also make it much easier for me to track my progress or report bad actors after a game.Features I want to see: A breakdown of the end-game scoreboard, maps played, build/loadout used, and final team placements.

I really wish this game had more players. Seeing sweaty 40+ kills from a single player in TDM is just unnecessary. It'd be one thing if it was once in a blue moon, but it's just about every other match. Add in Starlight Hollow and I have to say this is without a doubt my least favorite season since starting in S7. I have never had so many unfun experiences in a row. I just need to vent because I love this game, and I hope it gets better sooner rather than later. F*ck this modern "it's a live service, we have to spread it out" nonsense. Fix it now.

Asked before but can we please change the cashout values to be equal, its so stupid that each cashout is just as difficult to take but worth different amounts

This creates a situation where for most games the first 2 cashouts dont really matter, its just the last 1. Iv now lost 1500 RS today due to 3 games in a row where we won cashout 1 and 2 but that didnt matter because we lost 3 and thats the only 1 that matter to the result of the game

Would love to see a blog or anything about the results of Respec order. Did it achieve its intended goal? Or did it not? I think its a step into the right direction where Embark tries stuff. There has been community pushback on the proposed changes, but that is fine because a test is a test. Voices need to be heard. I myself also dont think that respec order would change anything in then class dynamic. Because movement is mostly determined by spec's and gadgets not pure movespeed. Yet im still super curious towards the findings!

Also even though there was some pushback the ends justify the means. If this allows Embark to have better balance in the end then this is worth it. Also if the community sees multiple tests being preformed they are less likely to think that Embark does something purely to push an already made choice. Some voices where afraid of this ofcourse but I think on the whole most people did apreciate the testing.

In general it would be cool to see some statistics in the game anyways. Like what are the k/d and winrates of certain weapons in which skill brackets etc. This is hugely interesting data that you guys already have and make decisions on.

Ever since Finals added the Ultimate Battle Pass, all cosmetics in the Bonus Page started to suffer. Remember when we had some of the best skins in them? Like the LED M26 Matter skin and the golden chrome OSPUZE jacket, they were more than just simple recolors with sponsor logos.

The Ultimate Pass is no valid excuse for making the bonus pages worse than what it used to be. Your cosmetics designers pump out a crapload of great skins on a regular basis, just add some of them to the Bonus pages. Most of them are simple recolors or asset flips anyways, having 1-2 good cosmetics in bonus pages wouldn't hurt the bottom line.

Cosmetics and emotes keep reseting on equipment and characters every now and then, please fix this shit, its been an issue for too long and its always annoying. Its not even a quick process to re-equip everything, you have to do some customizations (namely emotes, gestures, etc in the character menus) individually, for individual loadouts one at a time. Gives me a headache every time with this game & makes me want to uninstall it for being a nuisance... If you're gonna shove skins and microtransactions down our throats, the least you could do is make sure that they stay equipped please.

Proposition : Ajouter un mode Encaissement rapide classé”

Pourquoi ?

Beaucoup de joueurs préfèrent Quick Cash car les parties sont plus courtes.
Le mode classé actuel demande trop de temps pour une seule session.
Quick Cash classé permettrait aux joueurs solo/duo de tryhard sans s’engager dans un long tournoi.

Impact positif :
Plus de joueurs en ranked.
Moins d’abandons.
Une expérience compétitive plus accessibles pour les joueurs

Game in the deepest decadence:

  • No matchmaking (in any game mode): the most unfair matchmaking 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: what say? check youtube and bunch of webs to buy it
  • Smurfs: if, given a matchmaking system like the one we have (nonexistent), which in any company would get the team instantly fired, you add the number of smurfs there are right now, it means this is now completely broken for good
  • 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 🤡 🎪

down 10k RS in a week of solo queue from 42k to 32k (EU), don't say I played every game good, but the amount of matching against the top players 3 stacking, or generally 3 stacks makes the remark at the start of the season about improved matchmaking laughable. additionally the amount of smurf accounts of people beaming at level 20-30 or straight up cheating is really impressive. Oh, and did I mention that double jeopardy did not fix shit? Or about some people straight up queueing at the same time and teaming? I play this game since open beta and ranked never been easy, but it's unbelievable how Embark managed to make it progressively worse and worse, even for 3 stackers, and not giving a single fuck about soloq players. This game is definitely the worse addiction I could have ever developed in life, getting gray hair playing this shit.

Embark, please fix a few things:

  1. The ranked system should not allow more that 5K difference for keeping ranked score.

    . This does multiple things, including but not limited to players facing people MUCH higher than their own rank. ( I saw a post of rubies playing with bronze )

  2. Each class should have a proficency test beofre being allowed to play in ranked. ( depending on their spec )

    . This will prevent everyone from playing light all the time.

  3. Teach players in the accedemy that KDA doesnt matter in Cash Out.

    . Do I need to explain this one? This isnt cod

  4. Give us a solo que.

    . That way I can suffer ranked loss knowing I wasnt Stacked against from the begining.

I think Ranked could benefit from a different qualification system.

What if the first team to reach $20,000 immediately qualified and left the match (maybe switching to spectator mode)? After that, the game would continue with only one cashout box active.

This could help reduce situations where the team in first place griefs the entire lobby.

Then, the second team to reach $20,000 — or the team that wins the final remaining cashout — would qualify as well. Reducing teams constantly running away with boxes instead of fighting.

I feel like this could create more fair and aggressive endgames instead of stalled matches.

We need harsher leave penalties. Im sorry but people leaving in the middle of matches is WAY too common in this game and its a major problem when it affects the experience as much as it does. Yes, even in casual game modes there needs to be punishment because it actively ruins the game for others when your teammate leaves and youre stuck in a losing fight for the rest of the game.

I know its probably an unpopular take, but im sorry ive never seen people leaving matches THIS badly. At least in games like battlefield where the teams are massive on both sides its less noticeable, but in teams of 3? Its a big problem

Day 7 of sending this till embark gives us back the ranked charms and stickers

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. Don’t get me wrong I’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 don’t know about everyone else but I was proud to have hit plat in my 2nd season and was hella pissed when I didn’t get a sticker or charm to show off and I can imagine others are too. Again I’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 don’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

Hot take: people complain about the ranked matchmaking but ranked has better matchmaking than regular cashout. Ranked is the only place I can go to chill if I wanna play cashout. If I play regular cashout, I only get matched against diamond and ruby players I can’t compete with and it’s literally every game. That’s just not fun.

A good way to enjoy our weapons skins (at least the non melee I think) is that the other sights in the game match the color palette of a skin, for example the M60 of Vaiiya has an interesting design on the white and red lines but in the moment that you put a sight loses all the aesthetic of the skin, just to see the perfect design of the white and red and suddenly it set off by a sight with a plane color, I hope the team can check that but I think it’s possible because you’re already doing that with the FCAR, the FCAR skins takes note that the weapon has a sight and match it with the color palette of the skin is using.

Hope you could check that and apply it to the other sights you’re doing an amazingly good job with the game and it would be a nice touch to have that

Take care and have a nice month orf_crazy orf_crazy orf_crazy orf_crazy orf_crazy

FIX THE FUCKING ANTICHEAT AND BAN SMURF ACCOUNTS AND ALT ACCOUNTS!!!! IT'S NOT ONLY THE BRAN NEW ACCOUNTS THAT ARE EXPERTS. The absolute hardest matches I play are ALWAYS full of 1st week players on low level accounts. FIX THE ANTICHEAT AND BAN THESE PEOPLE!! This what's keeping new people from staying in the game. This is what's keeping the game from being what it should be. It's not lack of advertising, or lack of "big streamers" playing. It's new players saying "let's check out the cool game" and having to play against a level 3 with 27 kills, and a level 13 with 40 kills, while each of the level 100+ players have no more than 6 kills. I see this every single day I play, "expert" gameplay from all level 1-20. Every. Single. Time. When the game is strangely lopsided and nobody can do anything, it's ALWAYS an account less than 20 who's the reason. I'm not the only person who sees this. I've seen people in here trying to report their own friends and teamates for blatantly rage hacking whenever they want. This is 100% the biggest problem in this game and it needs to be addressed, plus, we as players deserve regular updates on the anticheat and how many cheaters amd exploiters are being stopped from ruining our games.

I just started playing this game few days ago, I only have 10 hours on it and I played normal cash out and ranked, it’s utterly unbearable matchmaking skill gap. I cannot seem to enjoy the game without matching against absolutely ridiculous highly skilled players who know everything about the maps/ mechanics and movement while I am still at learning curve. even tho I love the core gameplay and I am very competitive but every match is full of absolute unfairness in skill gap. The whole matchmaking system is pushing all new gamers away. Please fix this!!

Just gonna suggest a rough improvement for hoverpad:

Currently, you can bounce it off of a jumpad, even at an angle- nice!
A neat trick is bouncing it on a jumpad, then shooting a zipline onto it as it flies away, and you can get extremely high into the air- but some maps the skybox blocks off your entry while still letting the hoverpad fly out of bounds.

I think giving hoverpad a bounce back off of the sky box would be beneficial, allowing people to still zipline to it and actually use it way up in the air. The other option (arguably the lamer one) is to nerf the distance a hoverpad flies when bouncing on a jumpad.

It's fun and people should try (:

Point Break is a wonderful gamemode with many issues, one among them being how difficult it is to attack any given Grand Vault after all cover has been destroyed, it leads to to stalemates where attackers can't effectively push the point due to the lack of any meaningful cover that isn't instantly broken. I'd like to see Medium get a specialization where they can reconstruct/rewind demolition done to the map, bringing some of the structure back for attackers to play off of or around would be huge.

If I have someone blocked I DON'T want them in my team. At least add an avoid function if blocking doesn't do anything.Playing with a duo is the worst, cuz if one of them is bad then both of them are bad(birds of a feather) if you get 2 randoms then you at least have a chance to get 1 human maybe. There should also be a function that disables roller teammates. I don't mind playing against them I just don't want them in my team.

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.

Just give Pike to Heavy class atp.

Medium class already got Repeater and Crossbow both of whom are just straight up better at everything Pike is supposed to do. You want poke damage with a lot of range? Pick Repeater. Willing to sacrifice some range for better sustain and reload? Pick Crossbow. Pike tries to be a middle ground between the two but instead is easily replaceable by both of them. And even in the off chance that you want a semi-auto that acts like neither, Revolver already exists! Between these 3, Medium already got enough semi-autos for everyone, and Pike gets shafted meanwhile.

On the other hand, Heavy still doesn't have an actual marksman weapon. Akimbos and BFR are pistols, and KS23 is a shotgun. Not that it's an issue, just that since Embark has clearly stated that they want Heavy to be bad at long-range poke scenarios, why not just give them a bad long-range poke weapon, which is Pike?

To make Pike viable on Medium it needs a lot of rebalance not just on itself, but on other weapons as well to make Pike actually worth picking over the others. Whereas on Heavy it would at best still be a sidegrade to BFR and KS23. Sure, Pike has very good range and magazine size in comparison, but is quite bad at close or even mid-range due to it's terrible damage and hipfire accuracy. Pike, on Heavy, could serve as a low damage, long range poke weapon that can only provide cover fire and not actually win any fights 1v1, serving the same niche ARN-220 does currently. Therefore, it would be cool if Heavy got Pike-556 instead of Medium. It wouldn't take much effort, just a little resizing and animation adjustments to fit Heavy's body model.

Also, add 1-2 more contestant slots. We have 11 specs now, new contestant slots would aid in experimentation with them. Also make crossbow a projectile weapon. Making it lose it's core identity as a projectile weapon just to appease the console players is not really a good idea. Especially since most of them play Light.

Even if it's not 40º, 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 that’s okay. A weaker weapon is better than a dumb patch that destroys its identity.
​Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
​Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do?Every weapon can naturally look back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons can do it?
​Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
​If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
​Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.Just revert it to S1.
​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 sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
​Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

instead of aim assist what if we called it skill assist instead as a representation of its ability to reward skilled players’ aiming ability
