That's a key sign there's audio issues with The Finals, and always has been. People aren't just blaring KORN out of their loudspeakers and vaping every single time they boot up the game.

Is it me or has hitreg and desync been actively getting worse each season?

>>2504155
Well, considering how the completely fucked server tick rates have never been fixed or upgraded since season 1, you're probably right

>>2504155
I think it depends on what you use. Normal bullets are mostly fine, but any hybrid guns like the KS-23 and Chimera have been really weird lately

aaaaaa why the fuck did the mp5 have to be the low ammo gun for light

its so much fucking cooler than the m11 and i just wanna run and gun with it

Where's the update niggly

Too much Alfa Acta and Tits in the pass, but risk reward coming back is cool. I just expected more of a rules roulette based on the preview in the schedule

This new battlepass is so ass, LH1 is garbo, flamefarter looks horrible, fcar looks decent but it can't carry this shit pass alone, I'm not a troon who plays this game for dress up, I want cool cosmetics that fit the theme of the season instead of this overpriced sponsor trash

>>2500609
bad footsteps audio has been my most hated bug since release, second maybe to no reg on winch

10 seasons and I still can't hear a dickhead breathing behind me and this issue is shared among my friends too

>>2518349
Genuine question, are a bulk of people using that night mode option for audio? I could be retarded but I remember it making foot steps easier to hear, but it made it harder to track where the sounds were coming from. I remember a bunch of shitty youtubers were pushing people to use it a long while back, but I'm guessing people have since switched off after realizing the downsides. Early in the finals life I remember complaining about audio not seeming right and everyone thought I was crazy. I don't wanna be one of those it works on my machine guys, but I can very much track people easier via sound in the current season compared to earlier ones.

I run riot myself and had my own fill of audio related issues. For a shitzillion seasons I had to deal with it making a weird clanking sound even while idle. They only fixed that relatively recently by comparison. I can only assume next season they're gonna ramp that up and make it super audible so melee in general can't get the drop on anyone anymore.

Do you think it's too optimistic to believe that this game is going to have actual matchmaking before season 20?
I really don't feel like coming back next season if I'm still going to be level 110 and getting literal noobs on my team below level 30

I really want more casual continuous match mode and the server browser to glue things together

Embark is decent at responding to massive backlash. If which this is currently the main thing people are complaining about.
So I can see them changing some stuff around

>>2519617
This is the only game I've ever played that makes me wish I was legitimately a noob again. If you're high-level and play solo, like fucking 6/10 of your random teammates WILL be noobs throwing and completely clueless as to why you are mad at them. Hell, some of them have even have tried to shit-talk me and they literally don't even have a fourth of my wins, kills, or revives.
This has been happening for 10 seasons straight. Don't expect that to change anytime soon, if ever.

>>2518542
Instead of making light/med feminine builds with bigger busts (and even a fem heavy build that isn't roided out looking disgusting), they did this retarded shit by making unisex tops into female ones by adding tits to them.
It's beyond retarded.
If they're gonna add tits, and they should, they should do it the right way.

i'll never forget that medium on point break that would just defib people in the middle of a firefight and then act standoffish and mad when everyone in the team told him to stop doing that or atleast bring the bodies somewhere safe.
He was wearing the arc raiders promo skin and was level like 20.

>>2522748
Understandable on his part then. He was contributing as much as a guy his level could, and in-game chat is always terrible for teaching players in a high pace game. People doing so in the moment always gives way to insult and nagging

Weird thing to "never forget." Like it's just a small thing on Point Break. Annoying, yeah, but it's also the silly big team side mode.

>>2522802
Not really understandable when we tell him kindly not to, he tells us to fuck off and explain why what he's doing is bad, we once again explain it to him and he goes "yeah idc shut up". Bare in mind, none of us insulted him, we just told him that by doing that he's not helping. If he was truly a noob, he'd have just excused himself and tried to learn from it, instead he opted to be toxic about it. I get everyone was a noob at one point, but there's being a noob and staying a noob.

>>2520605
Don't worry, the new Finals Academy, Onboarding and Bot matches will definitely fix the issue and bring in a bajillion trillion players back

Servers? Still bad

>>2498602
Where do you homosexuals stand on the nerf dash vs nerf winch debate? I for one, believe Heavy's crutching of the winch is necessary because the class has 0 mobility or quick movement. It is very easy to be boxed in and hunted down by rabid M11 Lights when you're a sluggish fat fuck with no escape abilities, ergo winch makes sense. Just tighten up it's wonky, egregious hitbox.

Conversely, Light's entire kit is so painfully good (Except for grapple, grapple is mega dogshit jank) that giving the class 2 dashes instead of 3 will hardly make a dent in it's identity or overall efficiency.

If Light loses 1 dash? Who cares? I will still play Light.
If Heavy loses winch? Hell no. For the sake of my sanity, I will never play that morbidly obese punching bag ever again. Fuck you, Embark.

>>2524438
People who complain about winch get range checked and never play with their team. The cool down is pretty unforgiving but just being locked into the animation is bad enough. Plus winch is the only tool that can reliably and accurately relocate vaults, it even has some depth in it's uses (hook on return, upwards hook, 13+2 range, and so on). Doesn't help that the other spec choices are situational at best and mediocre at worst. I think players frustration comes with the fact that heavies usually have an escort, since they ironically have limited survivability if they push solo, which is why they feel getting winched in a 3/2v1 is unfair. But it really isn't.

I feel like if they don't want to remove a dash charge, the leas they could do is put a cool down between use so you can't spam Left right left right. Maybe like a 0.5 or 1s cool down between uses.
Funny to consider that this is the exact measure they took to mitigate mesh shield spam when you think about it.

>>2524438
I doubt they'd outright remove winch, it's not something crazy like recon senses.

>>2524438
The debate is poisoned, since I've seen many people call winches a panic button. Too many people look at Heavy and think it's unskilled ez modo and that every time they Charge or Shield or Winch that they're actually on their last legs and are throwing it out without thinking

Most likely a symptom of how many players think they "deserve" a win in this game, and will immediately think everything else is unfair or unearned if they lose to it, which makes it all the harder to discuss what's actually disproportionate or not.

>>2524438

I will never be able to understand why this game never took off.

Gamers are a different kind of retarded.

>>2528833
Too different from other shooters and normies are buckbroken by AI voice acting, despite modern voice acting being dogshit.

>>2528833
You know why the game never took off: it has no recognizable characters, the announcers don't really have any personality, there is virtually no matchmaking, and despite allegedly being "The world's greatest gameshow" the game itself doesn't feel much like a gameshow at all.

If The Finals was a balanced hero shooter actually in the vein of a gameshow, I guarantee it would've been 2x or 3x more popular.

>>2528833
It's too different between the cashout mechanics and the destruction. You've also only got a 25-33% chance of winning and you can lose to entirely wacky shit, so it really pisses off the modern audience that generally expects fair and deserved wins when they play "right"

>>2528833
from the reactions some of my friends and others there was a misconception that it'd just be a battle royale game.

>Server issues and general bugs (like the old friends list bug, the can't run bug or can't shoot bug)
>Exploits and ReWASD were discovered almost immediately, some even carried over from the beta (like being able to shoot through mesh shields)
>But because embark is a swedish studio, they released the game a couple of weeks before their mandatory 3 month vacation, so cheaters festered and hurt the reputation of the game hard
>Very poor weapon balancing, Light was the throw pick, the FCAR and SA12 stomped over everything else in their respective class and Recon Sense was legit wall hacks with no way of the enemy knowing (except a very faint audio queue that was easy to spot.

Ironically, performance itself WASN'T an issue. This game ran perfectly fine at launch, even on somewhat older hardware. That one became more of an issue as time went on. It's a very CPU intensive game.

Years later, and complaints about the S1 FCAR is STILL outin niggas

*MGL

>>2528833
I picked it up today. It's pretty fun, very smooth, nice visuals. Confusing in nearly every way. Beginner variety is kinda shit? I haven't played with everything, but with as spastic as people are with their jumping around and sliding, it makes inaccurate weapons or non-automatic a pain in the ass. I stick with the M11 and it does its job. None of the others I have tried are all that fun.
There is a lot of stuff going on at once, too. I generally don't play PvP games anymore, I only tried this because it was free. But there's shit all over at all times. Different gadgets, grenades, like i saw a guy run at me and eat an entire mag, didn't shoot me at all, then open a hole in the ground, the cache fell in, then I died as soon as I looked down from the same guy who opened the hole that was no longer there. Scanner Grenades would help me immensely, but the "glitch" effect that follows them makes it more of a hinderance really.
I don't know. It's fun, I will play it a bit tomorrow and see if it clicks once i unlock more stuff, cause my selection now is lacking.

>>2531385
The MGL32 is incredibly solid. The damage is still usable single target, and it's a mean mother when it comes to splash damage, but holy shit, the advantage from bank shots is unparalleled. Being able to get damage in without direct LOS is absolutely godly, especially since when you pair it with stable accuracy, your 500lb ass can constantly dance around cover in close quarters while banking off the walls to still get YOUR damage in

The only thing really holding it back is that it doesn't explode on contact with contestants. It's a mild nuisance when above or equal with them, since you can usually bank it and get what you want, but forget attacking anyone above you at all

If they added like, direct hits, I think that's fair, and if they did a minor damage nerf if the grenade explodes without banking or its timer running out, then it'd be inexcusable not to add immediately. Especially since the aps and shields can easily be ran to counter it if it got too good

>>2528833
the art style looked like generic androgynous dogshit from the get go, which given Arc Raiders is apparently Embark's signature art style from here on out.
What does Mr Finals look like, someone you can put on a shirt and recognize the IP? Fornite has Jonesy and Minecraft has Steve. I don't think most players would recognize that weird egg thing outside of the game.
Also the game is pretty experimental as in no player base for the launch gamemodes existed prior, let alone something with as much destruction and movement.

>>2533561
This game has a STEEP learning curve. It looks simple at first but you will have games where you go 1 and 20 when you're just starting. You honestly just have to get your ass kicked for hours before you start picking up on the nuances of the game.
Just remember that positioning is god is this game. It matters more where you are and when you're there than being some aimgod.

>>2533824
unpopular take but as a shooter I don't think the game has much of a learning curve at all. like every other shooter its finding out what weapons and abilities do what, its honestly very simple at its core

>>2536881
You must have never played with people who are new to the game. The main complaint they all have is how hard it is to learn. It has simple mechanics and weapons but it's everything else that makes it hard.

>>2536881
Hard disagree. Playing this game well requires constantly ticking a lot of small bits of game knowledge regarding things like timers and ammo and thresholds, and big things like completely reevaluating the standard concepts of rotations, positions, and cover due to destruction

It's not incredibly deep mechanically, but instead it's a constant barrage of choices and adaptation. You need to be constantly on top of things or else you will lose control, and not to mention how you will just lose control anyways and then need to know how to ride that wave.

Knowing what you should be doing in any situation has a ton of layers and it takes a long while to learn how they all intersect, and even longer to learn when it's the right moment to throw them all away and just go ham with the big dumb play no one would expect

It's everything that people find to be complex and engaging about other tactical or objectives-focused shooter but yet also one where tactics can go out the window because someone flipping the objective onto its side and now it's a free for all cash rush in the final minute

How do I git gud

>>2538745
try clicking on the enemy players with red health bars

>>2538757
They keep moving away from my reticle

>>2537267
NTA but I think if you came from any FPS background with even a slight amount of movement I don't think its too hard to adapt and figure it out. I got my shit pushed in when I started season 1 because I was playing against people who were in the beta or just clocked in more hours in FPSs than me, but got somewhat better by merely observing what weird untraditional strats people were using. Stalling cash boxes with jump pads after blowing out the ceiling, sliding into giant boost pads to gain extra distance, using goo to build outside of building to hide from an enemy. Its all really just a collection of really goofy shit you have to experiment with. The only people I've seen/heard struggle are people that come from other popular FPSs and try to play the finals like one of those. It just doesn't fully translate like that. I fuck people over with demat all the time because they think they're safe hunkering down in a corner with their gun up. People who have learned from that shit counter it by raising the cash box and supporting it with goo. I try not to be shitty and say its a skill issue, but l can appreciate the few that learn from their mistakes and come up with creative counters instead of getting mad.

I don't see this as a super complex game, its just a game filled with chaotic moments and the team that can adjust quickest will come out on top.

>>2536881
>>2538870
Post playercards.

NOW.

>>2540736
There's no point if you're trying to compare win/loss ratios. I can count on one hand the number of games I intentionally left in my 1700+ hours of gameplay and those were only done because either I or my teammate picked the wrong game mode. I'll play a match to completion win or lose. Anyone sitting in the positives in a game where you're competing in most cases 2-3 other teams is a shitter who abandons games constantly or cheating. Not saying its impossible, but the odds are highly against you considering the dynamic nature of the game.

They're sagging as if there's no bra. The devs are clearly culture war brained stuck in 2016 and are gonna hide behind "le realism" when in reality they're doing this to lower the sexual appeal (muh male gaze)

Frankly, Melee will always be hated, because to be good at it, you have to be a really good player, so just equipping a melee weapon at all is a violent act against very psyche of scrubs. You're someone who's really good that's purposefully taking a handicap, against a really bad player that's limiting his weapon selection by taking any advantage he can, and he's still gonna lose.

Started playing with the ks-23 recently, I think I get the appeal now

>>2564863
It's a fantastic feeling gun, but its design is just so counterintuitive and its effectiveness is underwhelming, so I find it hard to really lean into it.

It's definitely more reliant on teamplay than the MGL32 so I definitely opt for that more than the KS-23

>emeralds bitching at me in unranked power shift
>win regardless
why do faggots carried to green rank bully me when they have more deaths and less objective time in the overwatch mode? are they fucking retarded?

>>2566202
emerald don't mean shit man

>>2566202
Why are you so afraid of greenies that you have to run here every time they shit on you in the match, rather than hashing out your beef then and there.

>>2566202
You do realize that The Finals has one of the most dogshit, nonsensical ranking systems of all time, yes?
Whether someone is Emerald or Ruby is irrelevant. Fucking 80% of wins in this game boil down to luck, timing, and respawn placements as opposed to any semblance of gunskill or big-brain IQ
Stop being scared, jit

Just picked this game up again, last I played was near launch and had a tonne of fun grappling and sniping

Trying to get good with the recurve bow now but every time I get into a fight the game becomes a stutter fest and it throws my aim way off, my perf stats show solid 60fps and 10-20ms frame time, wtf is going on, wasn't like this last time

Was the ks-23 buffed? This gun feels fucking incredible right now

>>2588219
It's got a lot of buffs to its feel, although nothing changing its actual strength

I hate the fcar and its recoil pattern and its low rate of fire so much but its the only gun with a pose I like in the main menu so I must use it

what're you guys' thoughts on the winchclaw? I personally think it's fine as is atm
I've heard people say it's too strong but I think it's that the other heavy specs aren't as good (except mesh and googun because it's made to be a weird pick)

What is even the point of backfilling in these trash lobbies? If it's not obvious outright, it's easy to figure out within the first minute why the other guy left lol

>>2597165
I'd say it's mostly fine. Disabling movement always feels kinda ass, but the effect you get out of it isn't too far out of line of what you get from other specs and gadgets. The utility in moving shit around is really fun and useful too.
>other heavy specs aren't as good
People just really do not respect the Slam. They constantly call it shit like a panic button and what not, and they have zero appreciation for its ability to quickly reposition you into the next two rooms over.

I'd say a lot of it is that a lot of players are shoot happy retards that don't take the value in running away or otherwise retreating to a superior position. CnS just becomes a damage or prep ability with that mindset, while its super strong capability to get you out of jams is dismissed.

>>2601196
I like slam even if its some kind of noob trap that doesnt work at higher levels. one of my favourite kits is just like destructionmaxxing with nade launcher, rpg, slam etc

>even if its some kind of noob trap that doesnt work at higher levels
Everything works at all levels. "High Level" niggas don't want you to use everything because it pokes holes in their meta and they have to do the embarrassing act of begging for even meme tier melee weapons to get nerfed.

They eventually get what they want because Embark caters like that, but even then they still hate to grovel and living with how they had to act, so whenever you hear someone go
>oh that's not ACTUALLY viable in any REAL lobby
you know it's some fuckass fraud doing triage for his ego

>>2597165
Only really good heavy specialization now. I hate the precedent of M's and H's specializations being nerfed into the ground while Liggers remain mostly untouched.

>>2601520
Still waiting on them to add more group taunts, like ones that actually wait for everyone to join in before it starts. The code HAS to be there, since musical taunts will sync.

Ah shit, they're gonna ram these changes through then. They probably came on the spot seeing those numbers.

Why is Embark trying to appeal to Liggers so hard?? Fucking COD kid class

Because it's the worst class?

>H+ Infuser

Decreased H+ Infuser healing per shot from 14 to 11.

Dev Note: The H+ has become the more dominant healing device in the game, in part due to its own power, in part due to the Light’s mobility and survivability compared to the Medium. This change is to address some of that dynamic, although longer term we’d also like to look at the Medium’s survivability in higher end play as well.

There's also Respec Order 2.0 going on for two weeks.

nvm just saw the H+ nerf lmao rest in piss.

Man I fucking love point break. Sometimes you just get a really good lobby. Where both sides are pretty balanced and it becomes this long 30+ minute match where it becomes this war of attrition just trying to gain ground and constantly running in and reviving to conserve tokens and finally getting everyone together and coordinating one final push to get to the last box.
It's so good.

>>2612582
Oh but also they should totally raise the WT points you get from this mode. You get 4 for winning and 2 for losing. Which is insanely bad because you can legitimately be in a 20-30+ minute long game and then lose and you ONLY get 2 points which is pretty bullshit for the amount of time you played.

>>2612589
I'd probably be emerald if they gave as much as quick cash for the same amount of time

>>2612589
>>2613758
They really need to add a different rank for just Cashout then. Ranked players got to whine and cry all the way home about how something even as basic as Gold-Plat needs to have its unique rewards preserved, but Emerald? Yeah let's just constantly devalue that by going from tourney wins to just WT points and now to just playing any and every mode.

If they're gonna make it so any mode becomes a viable path to Emerald, then there needs to be something for the niggas that actually play real Finals. Can't claim it's "the world's greatest gameshow" but then the only one that gets special treatment is the one that turns all the game show shit off.

>>2614508
Ruby already exists anon what are you talking about

>>2615116
>Ruby
if you aint playing in a mode with gameshow events on then you're a fraud
sowwy :3c

Did they tone down the accuracy of the guns yet? I stopped playing like a year ago because the game has been ass since season 3

>>2617575
It's like the opposite actually. Emerald is just a cumulative rank while Ruby is something you actually have to work and be good at the game for.

>>2619790
There's not a blanket accuracy stat on every gun. Every gun is different

>>2619808
They changed how easy it is to land your shots in season 3 and it hasn't changed since like season 7. The game went from tactical and chaotic to playing like every other fps on the market

>>2619791
>be good at the game for
>has game show events disabled
Uh, I'm pretty sure you actually have to play the game in order to be good at it.

Is this game full of smurfs?
I swear it is. I liked the game. I'm okay with getting teamed up with other noobs like me. But at least I don't want to fight level 26's aimbot hook heavies and M11 Lights that parkours everywhere.
The worst part it if I lose, I lose rank points too.

>>2632247
It's a mix of "anyone that wouldn't be great at the game gets filtered out super quickly" and "yes definitely there's smurfs"

>>2632247
If they're a light they're probably a Smurf. That's the braindead COD class.
If they're heavy then there's a chance they're not because winch claw is just genuinely fucking broken and stupid.

>>2632247
Embark doesn't ban pros who openly smurf, take a wild fucking guess

stopped playing this game after this season lauched, never felt better

it unironically was better during the betas when everything was busted. I miss the sensor granade having antennas.

>>2619791
> Implying Ruby isn't mostly filled with literal cheaters recoil scripting
You're far more likely to see a cheater with a Ruby badge than with an Emerald badge.
Ranked is a joke in this game anyways, The Finals should never have had a ranked mode. It just doesn't have a balanced framework for any sort of competitive environment.

>>2634142
getting rugpulled a win through no fault of your own isn't fun
now that happening when rank score is on the line? rage inducing

there's a reason why the more popular gamemodes are just 5v5 or 8v8 moshpits "us vs them" style. Cuz they're fun. Cashout is too complex for it's own good. It's the gamemode everyone thinks is cool in their mind but then isn't.

and the servers suck balls but that's been a thing since launch so

>>2634173
What, you don't like getting deranked because the dead last team with a grand total of 4 kills doubled your cashbox at the last second while you were getting 3rd partied?
Luck has nothing to do with The Finals bro, it's a game of pure skill that you should bet your ELO on, otherwise you're bad!!!111
The Finals is the CS:GO of multiplayer shooters bro, you just don't get how high of an IQ you need to play it

There is no such thing as a Venn Diagram that's a singular circle.
That's just called a circle. Go be mentally disabled somewhere else, you invalid.

>>2597165
I still think it should have had lower cool down and should not be able to grab players at all. The game is at its best when you're encouraged to think outside the box, and grabbing the enemy is not a creative tool at all and it hurts when moving objects or grabbing throwables is an actual fun way to play winch

>>2634376
There is nothing more fun than winning with a good plan and no shots fired
