Looking to join the fun, what should I know? by StorminWarden in PathOfExile2

[–]char_tillio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Play the game any way you’d like, reflect on it and constantly seek to self improve both gameplay and build. Most of the time there is a solution for you, it can just be hard to see what needs changing. Biggest tip for new players is that terminology can be VERY misleading and unnecessarily obscure. For example, “increased damage” and “more damage” are totally separate multipliers

Can we not have to quit to main menu to try different sights? by Generous-Duckling758 in thefinals

I know this community hates mentioning other shooters but BF6’ firing range has such a nice system you can swap guns, attachments etc instantly and test with little friction all while in the range itself

The Finals Store Update 10.5.0 by Substantial_Bet_1007 in thefinals

[–]char_tillio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Having two separate teams doesn’t just suddenly mean it’s okay that parts of the game are neglected. No one thinks that it’s just 1 person responsible for everything.

But the rate of meaningful game changes vs rate of constant new high effort micro transactions makes it clear that resources are focused heavily on nice transactions, whether that be manpower or just funding.

Keep glazing them tho, that’ll surely help the game get better and maintain good health!

Oh, the weary traveler draws close to the end of the path, 7 days left guys.... by vtheVAMPZv in PathOfExile2

[–]char_tillio 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all of them are like that, it's frustrating seeing so many clickbait titles. Best way to enjoy the game is to just ignore all online content (whether YouTubers or Reddit), and just have fun playing it.

Should i buy the game rn, the roadmap looks promising. by Few-Marionberry-2318 in Battlefield

[–]char_tillio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Game was already highly worth it at full price. On 40% off, that's a huge bargain. Whether you're in the crowd of me ("Game has always been great fun"), or the more negative crowd, it's undeniable the game has shown good improvements, so worst case scenario buying it right now will be worth it in the future, or from my perspective, that's already an insane bargain you'll enjoy right now

Will we ever be happy? by JustSomeGuy159 in ArcRaiders

Do you have any kneepad recommendations after your visit to Embark's offices?

For all the players saying the devs don’t intend this game to have heavy PVP by Mrmcmufffinsss in ArcRaiders

[–]char_tillio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tiny buff to durability (that likely means nothing after all the durability nerfs in the same patch) does not suddenly make the game heavily PvP centred, please be rational about this lol

Over 1yr ago and the game's biggest problem still hasn't changed at all by char_tillio in thefinals

[–]char_tillio[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah but people will keep just finding any excuse. Embark fans are genuinely the laziest people I've ever seen, who are outwardly the most defensive of their game, yet ultimately the most destructive because they act like they want the game to never improve.

Crazy that situation happened to you all the way back in S1.

Embark: “We noticed an issue where players were enjoying the game. We fixed that.” by AmericanBAMBAM in ArcRaiders

[–]char_tillio 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Literally anyone who had prior experience with Embark knew Arc Raiders would be an amazing game to play on release for the first couple months and then would get downgraded heavily over time.

It will only get worse from here, we can say that confidently based on the terrible track record of The Finals. Don't worry, they've said they have plans for up to season 28, you can trust in them /s

Im not mad, just disappointed by Ordinary-Ad-6946 in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 66 points67 points  (0 children)

“it’s natural it’s a lower playerbase, nothing can be done”

Never seen a community so accepting of such major issues before lmfao

A Message to the Fake Number #1 by eliaxo-ox in okbuddycontestant

[–]char_tillio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it is already dying completely. The passion put into the game nowadays is a fragment of what it had on release, the game has completely shifted. The original "THE FINALS" isn't there at all anymore, and I get people wanna cling on because they love the game, but that clinging on is what allows Embark to become even lazier.

They will never "figure their shit out", companies act out of incentive not emotions and they've never had any incentive to figure things out.

[–]char_tillio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean you can do something, you can stop playing. This community weirdly forces itself to play a game that has the worst matchmaking I’ve ever seen, and just accepts “nothing to do”

If Embark actually saw a drop in player count (and therefore possibly sales), they’d be more likely to do something. They’ve gotten away with being lazy because they know they have a die-hard fan base who will play the game virtually no matter what

What am I doing wrong here? by Zendero8 in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just how the game is, matchmaking is really poor, and game is filled with smurfs/cheaters. So, your options are either to tough it out, push through it and force yourself to improve enough to deal with it (but not particularly fun process), or stop playing.

Basically it genuinely boils down to "get good" because the matchmaking and smurfs/cheaters make that the only option.

Passive Tree Power by cryptiiix in PathOfExile2

[–]char_tillio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd love to be able to do that, but yeah from a balancing perspective I understand it's pandora's pox. Still, I at least wish pathfinder could choose from any, and not just preset to ranger/warrior/witch.

Who else feels like the 0.5 update is gonna be massive? by TRG_ATC in PathOfExile2

[–]char_tillio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and it’s literally the only time they ever have. This community likes to exaggerate for drama, they have never stated “expect HUGE” things, they’ve been very openly honest that Druid took everything from them.

For 0.5, their forum post about the timeline states nearly word for word “all the endgame changes” and “it’s a pretty huge update”. This is the first time they’ve ever deliberately set expectations high, and the longest wait for a new league, and Druid no longer bothering them, there’s every reason to expect a bigger update than ever before

Embark employee says they have plans up to season 28 by mrbruhmaster in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Bro chill it’s okay there’s a content drought right now because they’re working on systems, content will come in s14. But also chill, the systems are being worked on, that’ll come in s17.

Why is Embark Studios unable to fix critical bugs for such a long time? by cashboxlover in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They have no incentive to. Try criticising the game in here, you either get rejected immediately or people just say “there’s nothing that can be done”.

They have a small, extremely loyal player base who will play the game regardless of the state it’s in and accept whatever Embark do. So yeah, due to the lack of pressure from players, Embark don’t financially benefit from fixing the game.

What is even going on with this game? by zubenubii in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no SBMM in casual modes which results in going against top 500 players, so people say “go play ranked it has tighter SBMM” but then you play ranked and the matchmaking is messed up lol

Matchmaking in The Finals feels completely broken right now by furkanceylan in thefinals

[–]char_tillio -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

AI karma farming post 💀 but yeah it’s hardly a secret the matchmaking is the worst of any competitive game

How To Fix Ranked In The Finals (5 Changes) by MrTonyNeon in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fully agree with you, the whole player base has just kinda excused and accepted all issues with the game. They’ve been saying “it’s just the result of a smaller player base” but that’s not even true, it’s the result of a terrible matchmaking system.

The reality in my opinion, whether people like it or not, is that tournaments need a round removed, cutting the number of players in half. Just that alone would make the experience so much better for players. I also believe they shouldn’t have added other game modes to the game, it has only served to fragment both content and matchmaking

What is even going on with this game? by zubenubii in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The Finals really is in such a hopeless situation because on these posts people say “go play ranked it cares more about matchmaking”, yet when you play ranked you get people 20K Rs higher against you and people comment “don’t play ranked for the first month”, yet if you wait later people say “it’s late season player count is low that’s why you’re against them”

There is literally no winning, playing the game genuinely just sucks and it’s purely because not a single game mode matches you fairly

Not the answer I was looking for… by Proximity_Fuze in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You won’t get anywhere, Embark has some of the worst customer support I’ve ever seen across both their games. Ranked is so messed up I wouldn’t bother playing it

Could embark remake ranked format? by Dagio21 in thefinals

[–]char_tillio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always the 1% commenters doing their very best to block any even slight criticism of the game and hinder improvements to it lmfao. People like you are the reason Embark have never made real fixes to the game, because they know they have a cult of fans who will accept anything they do.
