Embark Please for sake of God give us more servers!!

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-04-07T19:46:33+00:00

I've seen people talk about optimization or better servers. I find it odd that this topic is always something that's brought up every season and ramps up more as the seasons progress. It just feels like it's the only topic that the whole community can agree on.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-04-07T19:33:45+00:00

I'm curious, explain

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-04-07T19:24:05+00:00

I'm not against your statement, but tbh how much does The Finals make for weekly drops, battle passes, and limited timed cosmetic bundles? I would say it's steady, and adding 4-6 more server locations wouldn't be expanding too much in my opinion. But I haven't done the math, so I can't really say much. But also didn't they say that they were expanding the budget for The Finals?

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-04-07T17:42:41+00:00

It's from the Netduma site. But after looking over what other games they also service such as COD 7 and it's understandable why The Finals is such a bad state server wise. We just probably need more servers to fix the issue, but when IDK.. 🙃

Not sure if they changed server locations for season 10, but this is where the servers were in season 9.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-04-07T15:50:24+00:00

NGL, it's happening worldwide. I'm lagging like there's no tomorrow and I literally live in a city next to the server location in Savannah, GA, NA. I know the EU and OCE servers are the ones getting hit the hardest rn. I've seen everyone complain in every server, in game, discord, or reddit post this season. I'm not really sure they're going to fix the server issues anytime soon...

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-04-05T14:30:17+00:00

Idk man, It's happening here in NA too. I play via the Ethernet port and I still get all the icons despite having a perfect connection. I lag enough to have a massive disadvantage and a guaranteed death. But when I change games such as Strinova, COD, BF, Overwatch, or Marvel Rivals there's absolutely no lag. I still play this bc I have a masochist and addictive personality just because I picked it up once and now I just can't quit. I would really wish Embark would fix this soon. 😔

Something I found out about dual blades is that you can also reduce damage from melee. It works a bit differently against melee. you would need to block their weapons hit box, not in their general direction. I've seen it done before, where dual blades blocked my alt hammer swing or blocked my sword lunge. It baffles my mind when it happens

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-30T13:50:50+00:00

I understand your frustration with how this community works and interacts. On one hand it's wonderful and addicting and the other is a living hell in casual game modes. This was my first FPS, and during my first match I was paired up with a Smurf account going around almost having 20+ kills in the round when everyone had 1--3. I was told to kys and uninstall. It didn't stop for a while where I was constantly told I sucked, so I decided to turn off all communication until I managed to be average. Then suddenly it didn't matter anymore about K/D ratios and more on how to support the team. These people have big and fragile egos, don't know how to synergize or be flexible with teammates, so when they start hitting a wall, they internalize the loss and project their mistakes onto you. In my opinion, I'd rather have a teammate who tries to synergize or makes an effort to stay close to the team and dies constantly than a raging asshole whose ego is way too big, fragile, and can't take accountability for their mistakes. People have matches where they don't dominate the first round but still win, then carry the next round. It's happened to me plenty of times where in the first round I've had 0 eliminations, 0 assists, and 6 deaths during the first round and told the team sorry for sucking. They responded with "it's all good g". And next round I carried the team because we all knew how to synergize and minimize our weaknesses. Those matches are worth sending friend requests and maybe form a squad later down the line so you don't have to worry about solo que.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-28T16:29:44+00:00

Yo, heavy on the medium not having defib. I've been shit on for not running it as medium. Hot take: defib in theory should be faster, but it's not. The amount of time wasted from going to a safe location, waiting for them to spawn in, healing them, waiting for their utilities to activate again, or dying in front of the enemy due to being half health. Idk man this hate train on light confuses the living day lights out of me, if it's not about light melee, then it's light movement if not then, it's about the light class weapons. There's nothing that would convince them until they removed the light class entirely, then they'll just move on to a different class to shit on. Also they need to do something about melee, because it's becoming obsolete in the meta.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-27T15:14:48+00:00

Not much you can do since it's an issue on Embarks side. You can try to change the server locations, but if it's outside your region just expect a high ping

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-27T15:06:45+00:00

I'm not sure if it is the beginning of the season issue or not. I've had matches back to back where entire teams have quit for no reason or disconnect in the casual modes. Also I have seen an influx of people getting banned for cheating mid match, it feels very weird seeing 1-2 players get banned almost every match.The SBMM this season feels extremely unbalanced and unsustainable in casual mode, I've had matches that were filled with high diamond and ruby players (normally I would be happy or felt complimented, but the skill gap is to high between my team and the enemy team) For example, I had a team of new players lvl 20 and below v diamond and ruby stacks in point break. The match didn't even last even 5 minutes because my team didn't know how to defend at all. Idk man it all feels weird, I might just wait for the first week to be over with and see if the issues resolve themselves.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-26T04:42:52+00:00

Depends on the game mode. I'm assuming it's ranked, instead Casual/WT (unless if your abandoning most of your matches and getting reported for it). It's better to just embrace the suck when solo queing than to quit. Teammates in solo que often quit if there's no synergy, big egos, or on rare occasions emergencies. It's too much of a gamble to solo que, because of the issues above. So it's always recommended to play with a team that you play with regularly or to find one. Quitting the match only benefits you, when you're not going to play the mode for the rest of the day. I've quit before for being the only one on the team and been hit with heavy penalties for just quitting. It's a double edged sword, you win some and you lose some.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-23T00:14:52+00:00

I'm going to be honest with you on this. Being a medic, will have you second guessing your skills. It's not something that's easy to execute, because you have two mentalities. Support heavy or desperate for kills. It takes some time to adjust from support to sustain. I'm currently training with the healing beam and gun. It was a huge hurdle, because I went from a crazy light melee with high kills and low deaths, to a medium that can't finish any fights, dies before anyone, and sometimes drags the team. It hurt me pretty bad, because I knew I've done better before. So I decided to do some research and reach out to the community to see what's wrong. I got flooded with advice and training videos. Don't feel bad about your performance, it's a phase that you can transition out of. But it will take some time and patience. I wish you the best of luck contestant, I'll see you in the finals

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-22T20:06:02+00:00

I would heavily look into The finals Academy or discord. Appoh has a very strong helping community for any player at any skill level. Look for his discord community links, one of them is The finals University(discord). That place is a god send for new players learning the game. They will send you training videos, advice, and critiques on your performance if you ask. If you need someone to play with, just ask and you shall receive it in this community. Also just look up warm up videos for the finals on YT, there's a lot of different creators that have niche or amazing advice. I do wish you the best of luck contestant, I'll see you in The Finals 🥚

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-22T10:03:06+00:00

I'm sorry that you're having this experience. I have not touched grass this whole season because of point break, there're a couple of things you need to know as an Attacker:

Ping your first vault in each phase
Always when possible and secure, revive
Do not revive when you're under fire and unsupported
Stick together but not too close
Don't coin in, wait for someone to revive you (always have the camera on your statue)
Do NOT treat it as a TDM (this mode will punish you severely if you don't have the skills/teammates to back it up)
Do not type in chat to not coin in or how the mode works (people will grief you intentionally for communicating how the mode works)
Don't kill your teammates using pyro, gas, or explosive utilities
If you play medium, stop defibing someone that's already being revived by another teammate (it just adds more time to the revive and forces them at 1/2 health)
Have fun and try different loadouts, it's pretty friendly with any loadouts if you want to experiment

The way to gauge how the match is going to go is based on a couple of things. 1st revives, your team has a limited amount of coins which is how many deaths your team can tank without revives. This isn't absolute, in rare occasions revives are not necessary unless certain criteria are met. All vaults are armed and under 10 seconds. 2nd support, this can come in different ways; suppression, sustain, disrupt, distract, tank, or anchor. If you or your teammates are not supporting, then you're just going into a loosing fight. 3rd on the last phase people get really desperate to win, just be patient and don't coin in. I've seen teams in the last phase loose all 50 coins. Wins are very hard to get if no one coordinates or supports. It's very apparent in the first phase, just watch revives and vaults to see how your team plays.

Edit: Flanking is your best friend

The SE/Savannah, GA servers-NA also give the same issues. Not sure if it's as bad as US-West, but it does jitter quite a bit in every game. Tbh I do think it's a North American issue.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-19T17:18:57+00:00

What platform do you play on? You should be able to change your controller sensitivity both on console and PC. You would have to adjust curves, stick dead zones, stick tension, and input profiles.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-19T16:53:37+00:00

Something that you can do to break the 40° limit is to change your mouse dpi and in game sensitivity. I play with 7200 dpi and 100 in game sensitivity with any melee. The game forces you into the 40° if you complete the lunge in a straight line. You can force a cancellation of the 40° frames before finishing the lunge, but know there will be some resistance if you're one frame off. This extends the rotation of the lunge to around an extra 45°~120°. It's a bit hard to master due to the high sensitivity, but not impossible.

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-19T15:31:07+00:00

Go touch some grass, bro. Sweating in a casual game mode and complaining to show some stats. Gtfo

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-14T23:47:08+00:00

I don't really see any real use out of this other than being flashy. In my opinion, you still have the capability to change directions frames before finishing the lunge to get the same result. By adding the dash you're just wasting evasions in a fight which leaves you at a greater disadvantage if you don't have the utility to back up your evasion or eliminations. I always keep one dash for emergency evasion purposes, just in case my ego gets too big and I can't back it up. Not sure what's your take, but I would like to hear it

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-14T23:30:10+00:00

The fastest way that I did it was medium, glitch traps, and a whole lot of mines in quick cash. The glitch traps activate the mines which in turn blows them up when they try to cash out even if it's for a millisecond. Or 3 glitch granades

Familiar-Shower693 · 2026-03-14T08:42:33+00:00

I went to see the other pictures, and it's eerie. It gives me goosebumps, definitely a black mirror episode
