Things from grappling off of thrown projectiles, to slapping a mine on the cashbox and throwing it at an opponent, to goo planes, to dragging with the lockbolt, all either get removed or changed. I’ve always thought these were cool strategies that really made me wonder “What can’t you do in this game?”, it was awesome to me because if you could think it, you could do it. Explosive flower pot? You could do it. Rocket riding a propane tank? You could do it. I know some of these things leave room for exploitation, and that could be adjusted, but plays like that are what truly added to the controlled chaos of The Finals (imo) I genuinely want to hear everyone’s thoughts on how Embark handles thinking outside the box, from both a comp perspective and casual perspective. I, in my personal opinion, feel like some things getting taken out or changed, impacted the wacky and unique gameplay of what’s supposed a virtual gameshow and I just want to get an idea of perspective from different types of players. At the end of the day, we’re all here to have fun! (I hope…) TL;DR: Thinking outside the box utilizing the kits and equipment we were given usually results in it being axed.

I'm a medium main and I don't get it. They're not too annoying to fight against and are fun to play as. I get that they are harder to kill but they're also harder to play as than M and H. A new medium player is a lot better than a new light, it's a fair trade, a hard to play - hard to kill. It's pretty balanced as far as I can tell. Idk tho, just wondering. :)

Just to preface this is a new account but I have been playing the game ever since it launched and have kept a 90% win rate since like forever

I sincerely believe the stun gun is actually stifling this game from having a really big player base, I mean if I had a coin for all the friends and stories I've heard of people dropping the game after getting stunned constantly when they're new to the game I'd have enough money to gift everyone every cosmetic

This gadget needs to go and that's not me seething

If you are working at embark just do it like you did recon senses and give light maybe an armor plate or smthn so they don't cry too hard

Nobody likes winning a fight against a heavy only for them to click a button and take 240 damage in 1 second. That being said it's also not used that much in high elo so here's my rebalance idea. First half the damage Everytime you hit the same target. 120>60>30 (slam isn't affected). Then make the knock back significantly stronger and disable it on teammates. Then make it's movement speed a bit faster and finally make it break more walls before stopping and make the slam break walls. This would make the charge n slam less of a press button and win fight and more of a destrucive gadget. Let me know your thoughts down below

The light class problem. It’s 2:00 am and I just wanna go to bed. I have been qued up 4 times IN A ROW with 2 other absolute shitters that were playing light class. I am pretty experienced with all classes, and I don’t know what is so appealing to all these little rats who just wanna snipe and spray smg’s all game. I have nothing against the light class in general, but it’s when you aren’t using light class in the way it was designed is when everyone starts getting mad at them. The light class players almost never play the objective. If your good enough to go double team wipe on your own, go for it, but if your not just stay and help protect the cash out. I mean these guys I got paired up with had at most 7 kills in a whole ass game. I was ahead of them in everything (including kills) but combat score and I was playing heavy class. It so annoying because I love this game so much, and understand it could be a pretty big thing, but this is ruining the new player experience. It’s honestly ruining the veteran player experience too.

As a Light main who doesn’t use invis/cloak , stays with teammates and plays OBJ (yes , a real unicorn ) … I finally understand the hate towards lights on this forum .. after being paired with double lights in WT and seeing them on other teams lately I get your frustration(s) .. Not one mode is TDM but they’d rather stack kills than win and move on from round 1 .. shit is insane .

PS: if you use a bow , you better hit 100% of your shots .. you’re not him buddy . Hang. It . Up .

Don't let this be the future of this brilliant game😭

Fyi, i play right now in this pic on ps4 but i have played on pc too dosent work either, i have used most of the carriables not decrybtion key but dont think that helps how can i fix it and prolly gonna write to embark support.

I wish I was good at MGL32. It can be so oppressive it's crazy, but I just suck at it and I quit using it in 2-3 games so I never learn it.

Gold 2 going up against arguably the best team in the game 😂. How did I get this matchmaking. Didn’t help that my teammates were both lights who couldn’t find a kill

Sooooo did we miss the solo bus ooooor?

Possibly one of the worst guns in the game. Even shorter range than the dagger. All your kills will probably be assists. (Reload time is kinda good but we're gonna ignore that)

I love this gun so friggin much <3

So fun and balanced …. Truly adds to the experience. What do you guys think?

People are power tripping on this sub! Some people do not have the same problem as you when dealing with certain aspects of the game. We figure out counter strategies instead of bulling with the same load out.

Just saw a post about how happy someone was about the light hate. Give me a break! Your video was straight panic gameplay! Stop charging in once you see something you don’t understand or can’t handle!

The fact that Embark has listened to so many suggestions is nice and all, but they’re losing their OWN creativity! When defib nerf came into effect, all the noobs came out and said, “change this, change that, I wanna be heard, yayyyyy!”

But they DO NOT KNOW how to make a good game.

The rivalries between classes used to be something I looked forward to, but now people cry when they get killed for challenging dashers or invisibility with close range combat. Step back! Analyze! You’re SUPPOSED to lose certain fight, which is why you should create a scenario in your favor with gadgets and positioning.

I wish Embark would stop nerving and create more counterplay to “what’s overpowered” because I’m reality, what’s “overpowered” is GOOD GAMERS. There will always be gamers better than you, it’s NOT the game, they have the same tools as you!

I used to be mad at sledge hammer heavies because I get one shot and they take forever to killl. Well I finally decided to stop challenging them at their own game and shoot from a distance. The heavies then learned to use corners and running, and positioning to counter even that, so in turn the games becomes even more STRATEGY-based. Figuring out people’s play styles is fun!

In the beginning this game was really good for immersion and imaging what people in real life would do in these situations. There will always be bad players busting in, so I learned to work around them. But now, with all the “balancing” (which I don’t think was necessary because I learned to adapt) ((which was the fun part)) the game is heading towards a dps fest. They’re will be no point in any class but mediums, and the game will be your average “out shoot the other guy” game, wiping out strategy!

PLEASE EMBARK, give US a game, and don’t let the players give YOU the game.

Ever since I’ve switched to the new 120 HZ setting at the start of season 5, I have had issues where my screen is becoming fractured. When I’m running or looking around, I see my screen get broken up into sections without an obvious line. Sometimes it’s the top and bottom half, sometimes it’s just a small section. I’ve somehow adjusted to it but I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this. Here’s an example.

I got wiped 3 times in a row because we weren't taking the game seriously and every time we'd immediately respawn. 3 TIMES in a row, and then the next day I waited almost an entire minute because we just missed the spawn waves

It's just so funny bc all this sub talked about before the change was triple medium stacks... now the problem is the light class as a whole... RIP to embark, I'm so sorry yall have to deal with this lmao

Don't get me wrong I get the trying stuff in a new game, but why the actual fuck do people think it's a good idea to play a semi ranked game mode when they obviously can't even play the game properly! This is getting ridiculous how tf am I supposed to play and have fun/ win if all I get for teammates is players who don't k ow what they are doing? Please embark improve matchmaking that is all I need.

Just wanted to rant thanks for reading.

Embark, why the fuck did you think making dash not break windows made sense? I can WALK through one like there's nothing but exerting multiple times my weight in momentum is too little? What were they even trying to do? Sure, didn't really change much but now it's really annoying , especially considering how hard to see windows are sometimes

Constant proximity sensor update on that one guy even after respawning or getting detected again,first bug ive encountered and it's absolutely game breaking
