/vm/ — THE FINALS

>>2498602 (OP)
TICK TOCK, MELEE FAGGOTS.

YOUR TIME IS COMING TO AN END SOON.

NO MORE WILLING YOURSELF OUT OF THE INTAGIBLE ETHER AND MATERIALIZING SOUNDLESSLY ON TOP OF MY HEAD, BLINDLY SPAMMING LEFT CLICK.

FUCK OFF, THE PLAYERBASE IS FULL ENOUGH WITHOUT YOU.

YOU'RE DONE. YOU HEAR ME?

DONE.

D...O...N...E

>>2498773
People will become this deranged instead of just turning off their goon music to actually hear people in-game

>>2499056
>implying the enemy footstep audio isn't inconsistent dogshit
Meleeshitter cope

I can't play without my funky tunes

What are you guys thoughts on the pike?
I like using it a lot personally it's great against mediums and heavies I just hope it could 3 bodyshot lights.

>>2499682
I like it quite a bit, that skin in particular is one I like a lot because of it's 'pew pew' sounds

>>2499056
You ever notice how you can be directly behind shitloads of players, and they all mysteriously never hear you?
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.
Kys

>>2499682
All in all, the pike isn't too bad right now. Unless you're a headshot wizard, there's really no reason to use the repeater over the crossbow or pike desu.
I almost want to say that the pike is being slept on (again)

>>2500609
>People aren't just blaring KORN out of their loudspeakers
that's why they don't win

>>2500609
>people aren't just blaring KORN
This.
A lot of people are actually just shit at the game and can't hear because their spacial awareness is complete dogshit, no distractions needed.

Like you!

Cope harder numbnuts, audio is borked and you dick-riding Embark will not change that
If even r*dditors know shit's fucked, you have no excuse

>>2501392
>he agrees with shitters from r*ddit
Thanks for confirming how bad you are at the game

>>2501402
>> Implying only heckin' based 4channers know about and play The Finals
I'd hate to be the first person to tell you this, retard, but The Finals has a larger community on r*ddit, discord, and steam than on this hellscape of a website. If even normies are complaining about the same audio issues consistently, you're just being an edgy contrarian nobody likes

>>2501419
>nooooo you have to agree with the normies and r*dditors, i.e. the people that make up the majority of shitters
>they, the shitters, consistently share the opinion of shitters
>so agree with them now or you won't be likeable!!!!!
Oh noooo.....
Oh well, too bad so sad. Will continue to actually base things off reality instead of ur feefees :)

>>2501588
> Ignores blatant evidence in favor of delusionally defending a game with bad audio
I too, pull shit out of my ass despite evidence to the contrary and refer to that as """reality""'

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.

Reddit is bitching about the female skin in the safehouse pass because they're all gay as fuck and like men

>>2518542
she's hot

>>2518651
I didn't buy the last one of these but I bought this one just for the tits.
Embark knows what sells

>>2498602 (OP)
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

>>2519617
I really want more casual continuous match mode and the server browser to glue things together

>>2519617
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.

>>2520760
This is probably easier then having to retroactively adjust every clothing item in the game

>>2521211
Yeah a ~$300 million gaming studio shouldn't be taking "easy" shortcuts like these.

>>2520605
I had 100 times more fun in the second closed beta and open beta when everyone was just fucking about and didn't know any strats and every gun was busted

>>2520605
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
Weapons? Still unbalanced
Op specs? Still unnerfed
Maps? Still ass
Cashout? Still not reworked
Bugs? Still present
Cheaters? Still protected
The Major? Won't watch it
The game? Won't play it

Cya in season 15, maybe they'll have stable servers with decent tick rate!

>>2523394
How do I downvote this twitter post

>>2523913
You gotta ask Embark_Rob for a buttplug and you can use the lovense sharing feature

How do i get the moth off my monitor hes been here for 4 days now

>>2498602 (OP)
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 think both are fine and ppl who complain about shit are just bad at this game desu

>>2524438
Kill yourself winch fag

>>2498773
>terrible weapons that just make bad players seethe

Oh no! I can only imagine how bad they'll make them!

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.

>>2530068
A lot of people heard "squads" and "eliminations" and "extract the cash" and completely checked out before hearing anything else

>>2530104
it's a shame that happened
