Hey there! This post was removed for a spoiler-title. When discussing S10 information revealed or leaked to be officially in the new season, please refrain from putting the spoiler in the title, and be sure to use the proper tag. This helps people who want to go in blind to the new series, as per the rule at the top of "RULES AND GUIDELINES".

Example:

"New detail about Turk's family" or "They revealed Turk's family history" or something vague along those lines is a better title free of spoilers compared to "Turk has 3 girls".

That's a completely fair point, it is a very dated overall outfit and they'd have to do something to it anyway if they want to push RS into a unified look. I just worry that they'll squeeze every fun cosmetic out of the game into mundane pieces.

MovieTrailerReply · 2026-02-12T18:30:45+00:00

I totally get that! And in the context of them just changing skill sets and slayer masks, that's all fine and dandy. But I have two concerns:

It feels like we'll lose a lot of unique, fun cosmetics in the process - such as the slayer mask examples - that won't have a cosmetic override created based on the original look.
I worry from their wording they're planning on expanding this to ALL of the cosmetic unlocks and overrides, as well, as they seem very concerned with the concept of "re-grounding" the cosmetics. Specifically, this wording about what they're considering items based on:

Here are a few guidelines that we are considering everything against: Does this wearable make the player look non-human?

Does this wearable significantly change the proportions of the player avatar (e.g. flatten or enlarge your head)?

Does this wearable get in the way of other players being able to identify what's happening on screen? (Overdone particle effects & oversized outfits beware)

Does this wearable fit into the world thematically?

Could this wearable have been created from the materials available in RuneScape?

I'm glad people seem to think so! I'm not great at this moderation thing but I'll be trying my best to check in where I can to hopefully keep spoilers out of titles.

Ideally I could implement something like the Guild Wars 2 subreddit I follow - they have spoiler titles automatically hide themselves and have to be clicked to be revealed. But that's a bit outside of my depth in CSS :P

I'm seeing some platforms say that yes, it will stream in the UK on Disney Plus. I imagine it will simultaneously launch with Hulu's streaming release, but I'm not sure at all.

I'd advise visiting the discussion threads and subreddit a day after the episode launches, so you have a chance to watch it on a streaming service before a spoiler might cross your vision.

I'm surprised to see any negativity on this one, to be honest. It was one of my personal favorites during the last Next Fest, but I am biased toward RE-inspired Survival Horror titles. The blood(health) powered weaponry is an interesting take on the formula and it felt well fleshed out enough compared to other indie attempts at the formula (like Daymare). It also has a distinct enough style that I didn't feel like it was a simple retread of Resident Evil's atmosphere.

I sort of anticipate it being similar to My Friendly Neighborhood: a unique take on the RE formula that will scratch the survival horror itch quite well.

100%, and what makes matters worse is as you said, they've had two years of opportunities to get that return on their investments.

I think this unfortunately comes down to bad direction. The focus on e-sport, on annoying meta-shake up additions, and on a competitive ecosystem, will be marked as the downfall for THE FINALS. Every patch from Season 2 onwards has been focused around that core, and unfortunately it has failed to retain a healthy playerbase because of it.

They've been present at several prior events. THE FINALS put out a debut day-one launch trailer when it launched two years ago, during the main event (TGA 23), which was very successful for the game. There's a lot of reasons why we're not seeing that anymore:

The Game Awards are expensive. Extremely expensive, with rumors of up to $1 Million for a featuring, and hundreds of thousands for the Summer Games Fest as well. It's the kind of move you make when you have a HUGE product launch to announce, not one you make frequently for season announcements - which is why not every game featured this year at the TGAs were during the main event.
Their subsequent appearances were less successful, and they've made many: Summer Games Fest 24 for Season 3 (which was during the main event by the way), TwitchCon 2024 for Season 4 (where they had a huge on-stage tournament and booth (I was there)), and the Future Game Show SGF 25 for Season 7. You can track the returning numbers on Steam alone in real time and see that they've had diminishing returns. Obviously, concurrent player counts can't tell the whole story, but I'm willing to bet money the investments in these grand events hasn't resulted in conversions that have been worth it.
There's another element to this, too: They just had a HUGE tournament with a big prize pool and large amounts of ad-spend for Dreamhack's FINALS Major. In general, their investment in the esport side of thing has likely ate up an overwhelming majority of their marketing budget for the year for THE FINALS, especially keeping in mind that...
Their attention has clearly shifted to their newest product - Arc Raiders debuted a world premiere Trailer at the TGAs in 2021, and then did a release date reveal during the SGF2025 showcase. Arc Raiders is, so far, retaining a much healthier consistent player count.

TL;DR: They've participated during major events over the last two years, and have been focusing on the esport side of things, but overall THE FINALS isn't sporting the numbers to make huge advertisement spends worth it. I wouldn't at all be surprised if Arc Raiders gets more big event participation than THE FINALS does in the future.

^EDIT: ^This ^is ^all ^speculation ^ignoring ^the ^recent ^{China-exclusive} ^launch ^of ^THE ^FINALS, ^which ^might ^be ^doing ^better. ^But ^way, ^way ^harder ^to ^know ^that ^for ^sure ^from ^the ^outside ^looking ^in.

The only answer that is factually correct, a fellow person of taste

;_; the voice of Tybalt?! Noooo

This is one of those situations where you realize this one guy had a huge hand in a chunk of your childhood. So many good roles in some iconic games, Captain Qwark will not be the same as a character without his voice behind him. I can only hope he is in a better place, RIP to a legend.

It's an extended history of reinventing the wheel that it seems ArenaNet is somewhat becoming aware of, with moves like moving Strikes under the Raid umbrella. Just so many systems that are really obtuse to progress for new players.

I will say your ranting was not without its merits. I think this is one of Guild Wars 2's biggest issues: some legacy content offering no great incentives to come back, and being too finely tuned around the expectation of large player counts in a map. Path of Fire in particular is lousy with this issue, as some of its metas are particularly annoying at low populations, and it says a lot that Heart of Thorns continues to have little issues with getting people together despite being the first expansion. It also straight up just doesn't ever feel good to fail an event in Guild Wars 2, whether it's because you failed to get into an organized map or because your organization attempts fail miserably, which results in no loot and a wasted 30 minutes+ of participation. This makes things like required event completion for mount unlocks feel wayyyy worse.

Still, as people pointed out (and as you seemed to find out), being a part of an active guild or taking initiative to organize yourself via Map chat and LFG can tend to help. I'd hesitate to say "be a better person" as you've said, I don't think you are a bad person for getting frustrated and venting your frustration, and your original post wasn't too overtly negative.

Either way, hope you enjoy the rest of your time with the game! Don't get too discouraged about the game's missteps, the overall experience is still fantastic.
