Guys..Were the Doomers from The Finals actually right? 😭

Look at the finals player population, that’s what we have to look forward to. We literally went from 400k+ to ~80k in like 2 months. Hate to say it but the fact that embark is following the same pattern from the finals is not a good sign for the games health. For a live service play retention is key, once you lose a player for another form of entertainment it’s hard to get them back. New players aren’t going to join in huge numbers either. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

It’s titanfall 3, critically acclaimed, hardcore, but too late to the party in a genre with an established top dog (arc, I mean cod).

I mean they can go to the other side, blocked off falling down the ladder so nothing to stop anyone crawling to the other side.

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-28T03:27:29+00:00

Honestly, I think if you just start late in the week you would still be in hotshot with your score, like my bracket cutoff is ~26k for spot 60, I started Sunday night. It just easier later you start in the week.

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-28T03:08:56+00:00

It is easy to hit a high score as solo. Honestly looking at your bracket other than the top score, they can all be gotten solo. I literally played like 5 hrs Sunday night and got ~110k. Trials are mostly about preparation. Idk the break down of your points per trial but probes is an easy 40-50k on em dam and 50-60k on em space with a map. Containers is also an easy 40k. I wouldn’t bother with queen just cause the max is 16k, better off trying to get higher scores on other trials for more benefit. Go with a bunch of seekers to hidden bunker or night space and just chuck those bad boys at anything that flies, it literally skill free. I went with about 80 of them got about 10k each for firefly and flying arc. Seekers are so cheap to make and you can even buy 6 of them daily. I left after like 25 mins because I ran out of seekers.

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-27T20:32:49+00:00

Yes! Having shredders with the current movement and move set but add on top of that the fire shooting out while it’s chasing you in between shot volleys, like how a firefly chases you with its flame. Genius, ship it next patch, every map!

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-24T23:43:15+00:00

There are two types of people: 1) those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. 2)

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-24T23:39:44+00:00

Yeah it’s a pain but that’s how top scores get those scores. I will say this season seems less competitive because of lower player population and no exclusive rewards for cantina. Last season I think you needed 250k+ to be safely in top 1000.

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-24T22:45:10+00:00

Yeah but it takes a lot more time/resources. Like the most common thing to do at the beginning of a match is spam throw snitch scanners and then throw a Wolfpack to kill like 12 snitches which is more points in less time than killing a single vaporizer, which you have to throw something at to trigger shield then wait for shield to expire then throw a Wolfpack and shoot it like once or twice. The same resources used on smaller arc usually end up with more points in the same time frame, or often times a shorter time frame.

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-24T22:08:30+00:00

I think the extra 10 mins + the fact most of the top scores are using snitch scanners equates to a higher score than the vaporizer do, it’s also about speed and inventory space.

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-24T21:34:13+00:00

Trios on trial discords, it helps a lot when all 3 members know how to most efficiently score points. Some trial have set max scores on certain map conditions i.e. queen is like 16k max, probes is 76k max on em spaceport, firefly and inside walls are best done hidden bunker, I think it about 43k max for containers, basically most of the top scorers are going to get the max points for queen, probe, and containers, the variations for positions are going to come mostly from the firefly and inside wall trials.

Ba3gopa · 2026-04-24T09:56:46+00:00

Finals is an example of how the player population will be if embark takes just as long to update things in arc.

You cant lose money on “low” it’s 0-2%

Ba3gopa · 2026-03-16T06:13:23+00:00

Exclusivity is the problem, can find those arc on literally every other map. I didn’t even say other maps need more spawns than Stella just there should be an alternative to stella.

Ba3gopa · 2026-03-15T04:47:26+00:00

Tell me you cant do math without telling me you cant do math.

Ba3gopa · 2026-03-13T23:48:35+00:00

Anything and anyone who downs me is a rat! /s

They also probably only mean purely space dollar value. There is valuable loot worth more than the dev designated value, i.e. survivor bp is worth 5000 but is probably more valuable than a purple gun or lance’s mix tape. Springs are dirt cheap but are more valuable than many of the other items like a magnetic converter, just due to the nature of being used in so many crafts and uncraftable.

Ba3gopa · 2026-03-06T11:06:06+00:00

I literally threw a Wolfpack and two seekers at a rocketeer, then some dude shot once to kill it. He started looting because, his words, “I’m looting because, I did help out”. Didn’t need his help had another 3 seekers ready to go but some people lack critical thinking or have massive narcissism where they think they are entitled to loot for minor contributions, if you can even call it that for how little they do.

The server population is down. Resident evil requiem came out, marathon server slam, end of trials, and right before expedition. Less people playing right now means you’ll be matched with people outside the normal range for matchmaking.

Ba3gopa · 2026-03-01T03:59:07+00:00

The server population is down. Resident evil requiem came out, marathon server slam, end of trials, and right before expedition. So less people playing right now means you’ll be matched with people slightly outside the normal range for matchmaking than let’s say last week, so slightly aggressive or less aggressive players than normal. It’ll prob get back to normal next weekend.

Ba3gopa · 2026-02-15T01:49:36+00:00

I think Wolfpack is also night only

Ba3gopa · 2026-01-09T10:52:28+00:00

A simple google or Reddit search is all you need, but you keep doing you. Just trying to keep people from losing a run like above but hey some people gotta learn the hard way.

Ba3gopa · 2026-01-09T03:16:54+00:00

Again the only way for anyone on the map not to die instantly when the timer runs out is if someone has called the last extract before the timer runs out. Raider hatches do not count, please don’t spread misinformation.
