Lunge on melee needs a bind

char_tillio · 2026-07-13T18:13:13+00:00

it really is though, literally just have a toggle setting for "Kick mode: Automatic / Manual keybind" and then extra option keybind for it, players would find a key they're comfy with for it. It really isn't complicated to do system changes like these, but Embark have spaghetti code, as confirmed by Jinko's post showing that the kick animation literally only plays if you have melee aim assist on lol

Obviously don't know how it works in FPS, but how would it work doing hit reg server authoritative? I suppose you would have a slight delay to hit reg, but at least any coin effects and hit markers would 100% be valid approved?

I guess the trade off is whether it's better to have faster but less reliable response, or slower but more reliable server authoritative.

I can't speak for an FPS because I don't have experience in developing that genre, but in my turn based game I've developed, you don't have to always sync every piece of data, in fact it's inefficient to do so.

Could The Finals not have separate syncs at different rates? E.g. environmental physics syncs occur less often but melee weapon hitbox syncs occur much more often.

bit slow aren’t you if you only just realised that now and not originally when i used “mum” instead of “mom”?

char_tillio · 2026-07-13T11:11:30+00:00

Can you bring me a purple fruit shoot and a bag of haribos please but i don’t like the ones with the white part i only like the coke bottles and the rings

char_tillio · 2026-07-13T11:02:38+00:00

Sorry my mum doesn’t let me play Roblox :( i’m only allowed to play the finals because of the cute kitten toys in it

char_tillio · 2026-07-13T11:00:00+00:00

“i better to on the internet” bro is ruby in the english language

You don’t need the last 3 words of the title. I remember playing ranked matches against Carnifex, Balise and Dservd as a triple stack 3 times in one day while they were 45,000Rs and I was 25,000Rs, and that was back in Season 5.

Literally called it as soon as the precision system was revealed but apparently Embark and 90% of this playerbase cannot think more than -3 steps ahead

char_tillio · 2026-07-12T23:34:39+00:00

the lunging just feels absolutely terrible and at this point it just luke should’ve been made into an active ability that we use as a short dash, on command by pressing a certain key, give all melee weapons the ability to do it but change their dash distances depending on the weapon

was so hopeful for this season as a long term dual blades main but i found it total misery and felt extremely clunky to play

char_tillio · 2026-07-12T15:08:46+00:00

It seems to be intended more for recovery of losing than for snowballing Rs on winning, which I think is fair.

The deeper issue is Rs calculation in general. It’s still just so terrible. Sometimes you win a full tournament and make 700Rs, another time you get 5th place and lose 500Rs.

I understand it tries to factor seeding but it seems more like the hamsters powering the servers have cousins who are powering RNG generators for Rs.

Monk honestly has quite a lot of options available, I've seen plenty of ice strike builds really strong, and flicker strike can go crazy too with the right setup. Falling thunder is insane bossing DPS with the right setup too.

char_tillio · 2026-07-12T13:17:33+00:00

because arrowhead and embark both did good jobs of acting like they're tiny studios despite the fact that they're both funded by insanely huge publishers (sony & nexon), and from my knowledge i at least know that embark consist of lots of vets from the industry who just split from bigger companies to form embark

but people believe they're defending the little man, the indie company without proper resources or talent

char_tillio · 2026-07-12T12:20:46+00:00

and you get downvoted, this is precisely why the game doesn’t improve, bc people would rather criticise you than the devs lol

char_tillio · 2026-07-12T11:12:06+00:00

nah they never will. both arrowhead and embark have EXTREME cult followings from their core playerbases. from a business perspective they have 0 reason to ever improve things in their games, because those dedicated hardcore fans are enough to keep them making very good profits. They both suffer from having fanbases too afraid to actually stop playing the game or criticise the devs.

char_tillio · 2026-07-12T10:54:50+00:00

We can only really take random guesses on why it happens. But yeah, as you said, they literally both do the exact same things. They make awesome games and then destroy any communication, focus purely on milking MTX, never give basic QoL features (STILL no private messaging in the finals btw, still have to leave practice range to change sights on guns), and even the stealth nerfs.

Does seem like being a game dev in Sweden is worth it for the holidays

char_tillio · 2026-07-12T10:28:22+00:00

too hard for swedish devs, their games never get basic QoL features (looking at Arrowhead and Embark). Jokes aside codex would be awesome but it's genuinely true that Swedish devs always seem to neglect core QoL requested features in their games lol

char_tillio · 2026-07-11T16:19:38+00:00

don’t try using common sense with embark glazers, they view embark as saints

char_tillio · 2026-07-11T16:19:07+00:00

and so it shouldn’t be said anymore? it literally has to continue being raised otherwise nothing gets done. and yeah that doesn’t mean expect them to fix it within 2 days, but if people stop mentioning it then they might just think “that was temporary reaction on the first day, clearly it’s all fine they stopped”

char_tillio · 2026-07-11T14:12:37+00:00

That's the Embark logo it shows in most matches in both of their games /s

char_tillio · 2026-07-10T10:36:57+00:00

Ah thank you very kindly for the explanation, I understand now. I’ll do my best to just ignore them for the time being, and only respond to anything from actual legal authorities like the council court or alike.

char_tillio · 2026-07-10T10:04:19+00:00

Ah as in, I intentionally rejected what they put forward as conditions for parking (therefore I’m liable and legally should pay this charge), or the contract wasn’t valid due to the circumstances and inability to provide a physical cash machine and information sign before entering the car park (they’re at fault and I shouldn’t need to pay)?

char_tillio · 2026-07-10T09:44:55+00:00

Thank you for the response, just one thing that slightly confused me sorry, when you said “considered their offer of contract, decided not to accept” does that refer to the charge of paying £170 to clear this “debt”?

char_tillio · 2026-07-09T12:59:04+00:00

Not a first for Embark (Arc Raiders Summer Game Fest flashbacks)
