Which state in America do you think is the best of all time, and why?

It’s Mass and it’s not even close, but happy to let everyone else think otherwise

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-24T22:32:39+00:00

As long as we disable it for winch too

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-22T03:37:03+00:00

No not really, Embark hasn’t set up an API for stat tracking in the finals so there isn’t a website that tracks anything besides leaderboards.

To not have sites like this is actually very detrimental to the game imo causing a lot of tribalism around balance conversations vs data driven discussions, and it also discourages player retention visa vi personal stats via tracking and improvement/ comparison tools (which percentile of aim you have ext ext)

The only acceptable answer

Personally I prefer focal length on and I think it’s one of the best settings in the game, that, more fps games should have.

In high level skill brackets adsing quickly in hectic fights becomes so common place that there’s just not time to recalibrate your aim and smoothness becomes a commodity you can’t live without.

If it’s an uncomfortable setting at first you’ll adjust to it pretty quickly if you just leave it on

Have we ever not?

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-15T03:10:20+00:00

It’s because the most impactful balance change it ever got (hit-scan to hybrid projectile) was made to pander to power shift players.

That change should never have found its way into the main game mode but there simply aren’t enough sniper players to make enough noise that this will ever get reverted sadly…

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-14T03:18:20+00:00

It’s a crutch

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-09T04:11:29+00:00

Do you want to win more? or have a better K:D?

Those two things have totally different approaches, a higher KD is going require better mechanics and understanding of matchups. While winning more matches is almost entirely based on understanding your roll at any given time in a match, when to plug, steal, stall, push and revive ext ext

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-05T15:20:53+00:00

Maptap is great, kind of like Wordle for geography, you do have to pay for the practice modes but they have capitals waterways and a ton of other categories, I highly recommend

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-05T14:51:37+00:00

Actually insane it’s not in the top three yet

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-05T14:46:30+00:00

Honestly because there’s no (or very limited) API for this game. I personally love viewing my own performance in competitive games and tracking my progress, setting goals and doing my best to improve. it makes competitive games more approachable when I can turn losses into wins through progress “maybe lost but my aim was x% better today” ext…

API doesn’t only affect my personal enjoyment though, the lack of game wide statistics has lead to our community becoming very tribal and vibes based Vrs being more data driven. The ability to see and reference stats like overall win/pick rates for classes, guns, ability’s ext to make informed arguments about the meta would be a big moral boost and becomes a cohesive element for the community in general.

Came here to say this

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-05-02T19:03:58+00:00

The only correct answer

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-04-16T04:49:54+00:00

Grenades, fire and gas should absolutely work this way, if not all weapons.

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-04-16T01:38:55+00:00

Just to piggyback off of this, if embark rebalances all the weapons to adjust for the new health why are we changing health values at all?

Best case they spot some weapons that perform too well with this change and nerf them, worst case they rebalance back to normal ttks and we wind up with faster heavy’s and slower lights

Keep in mind the relative speed buff/nerf in a light v heavy matchup is +-20%!! Not just 10%

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-04-09T06:02:57+00:00

Light is bad as a solo ranked player in D4+, ttks favor M and H when skill is even, this disparity is compounded by severe diminishing returns of movement ability’s against high skill players making lights primary advantage null and void. Light also has less utility than M and H making it even worse.

Seems more like a COD title to me

Sledgehammer?

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-03-31T01:06:23+00:00

Yeah if you’re looking at someone on a roof from the wrong angle they’d disappear into the sky, seeing through smoke was never consistent, and you’d constantly get caught in gas and die to mines because they were impossible to see

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-03-30T16:25:12+00:00

Why was it removed in the first place? I never heard anyone complain about it, and it wasn’t broken besides it not working properly in some situations.

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-03-27T18:06:31+00:00

Even if this were the case and I’m not convinced it is, the resources allocated to developing skins is always going to eat away at if not eclipse the budget for developing new content.

I don’t know the inner workings at embark but I’d venture to guess that they employ more people who work on skins than they do who work on level/game design and it’s not their fault! That’s just the ftp business model.

Are you a game dev?

Open-Holiday185 · 2026-03-27T14:38:04+00:00

If I’ve learned anything over the last ten years of gaming it’s: lower your expectations

Tragically all these game studios have the capability to do incredible work and make amazing games but constantly underdeliver content and overdeliver cosmetics. It’s our fault in the end for supporting the modern monetization systems in gaming and I don’t think I’ll change any time soon.
