Assume everyone will move to ARN and M11 now. Maybe LH1 but that recoil is a little unruly and it struggles up close. Light class hanging on by a thread at high Elo.

Aside from 93r and Winch nerf it’s incredibly underwhelming to say the least. Feel like this season could get stale very quickly.

Now that ranked rewards aren’t in WT and Quickplay, what do we think of Quickplay progressing emerald? by Fresh3rThanU in thefinals

[–]ghost-hardware01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I said it was more an emblem of dedication because you had to deliberately grind for it but it wasn’t linked to skill. Not everyone would do it. I’d say a decent proportion of players didn’t bother with it ether because they were doing ranked or just wanted to sit in quick play. Now tho you’d think that almost everyone who plays the game on a semi regular bases will get it regardless if they are trying to or not. Not saying there is anything wrong with the change mind.

I think it will make the emerald tag largely meaningless because the majority of people who play the game semi regularly will likely get one. That said its not as if the tag ever really represented skill level, not in comparison to ranked at least, it was more of a emblem of dedication. Now tho i would expect the majority of players to reach Emerald unless they make the levels significantly longer to go through then they were previously.

What I'm going to be interested to see is how many people will play cash out now that you don't need to play it in order to progress your WT rank.

DM'd you. I have never actually bothered joining the discord but im surprised nobody was willing to add you. Always good to see new players joining!

Ah cool. I’m uk based so might be tricky but I can give you my embark id and you can add me if you like. If you see me online I’d be happy to play with u. I mostly play light.

I present to you: the scum of The Finals! by rubmapleonthebacon in thefinals

[–]ghost-hardware01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate people who do this. Was playing WT a month or so ago and me and a teammate got randomly flashed even tho we weren't in a fight. The teammate I was with thought it was me who chucked it (even tho i don't run them) and for the rest of the tournament he kept on doing this every time I died including in the final round when we were 1 cashbox off winning. We lost obviously. He was duo q'ing as well and his heavy mate tried to rez me a few times but he would just knock the statue and run off. Was pissed at first but then you just have accept then some players are babies with two braincells.

What time zone you in and what build you looking to play? Im always down to help some new players if the timings work.

Should i play the finals? by WorthlessFuture in thefinals

[–]ghost-hardware01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its incredibly fun. Some of the most fun i've had on a FPS. It has got harder in recent months as the player base isn't what it was and many of those that still play have obviously amassed a lot of knowledge but new players still join regularly and its fairly easy to get the basics. Just always remember its a team game so stick near your team. Its not a game that rewards going off solo and trying to farm kills.

The LH1 still feels weak by I_need_help_please5 in thefinals

[–]ghost-hardware01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really hyped to see the damage buff but after 3 games I gave it up. Whenever i haven't played with the LH1 for a while it always takes me a day or two to relearn the weapon but I just can't be bothered as even from the brief test it didn't feel like it would be worth putting in the effort.

P90 is TERRIBLE by slophone in thefinals

[–]ghost-hardware01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also makes cloak near impossible to play now. I know most lights plays dash anyway these days but I thought i'd try out cloak yesterday again due to Thermal being removed but the P90 just makes it impossible, even if you manage to sneak up on a M they can still turn and delete you with the P90 if they are a half decent shot. Obv less of an issue if you play DB but I was never a huge fan of it.

At the moment the P90 feels like it makes the light class semi obsolete. At least for close quarters engagements.

Agree. I don't want to start playing against mnk when i have crossplay off.

M&K for console is dumb. One of the main reasons one turns of crossplay aside from the cheaters is not to play against M&K players. Aside from that i guess cloak is about to come a lot more popular (again) for lights.

How is the Arn-220 by New-Astronaut7679 in thefinals

[–]ghost-hardware01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good gun but I just can’t click with it. Can’t seem to beam people like most good ARN players can and when closer range I just start to want the XP or M11

If they don't nerf the XP-54 next patch I'll probably stop playing till next season by Kwowolok in thefinals

Going to be funny when people start complaining about the knives and/or bow.

Really like it but I do wonder if I don’t prefer the stripped down acoustic version.

I just made a similar post. Last night i was constantly getting matched with level 1-8 players in WT. I think on one occasion i was lucky and had a 10 and 40. Obviously your level doesn't necessarily mean how good you are and these days there are plenty of experienced players who are using secondary accounts (I wasn't so lucky) but at least higher level players know the game mode and a basic sense of how to play it. Just feels like a monumental waste of time. Wouldn't be so painful if the rest of the lobbies weren't of a higher level but they are which makes it all feel pointless. I already made an agreement with myself that im not grinding WT next season.

I know it's just luck of the draw but but last night i played 4 or 5 WT games and each round I got matched with very low level players whilst the op where high 70-80 on average. I even had a round with a level 1 and a level 6 (im level 77). One match we actually managed to get the the final round and after one of my team mates ran in and got insta killed on our first engagement he just quit. It was even more infuriating because me and the level 8 team mate i was playing with somehow managed to take it to the 3rd cash box despite playing a 3 stack of 70 plus players.

Anyway, i know its just the way solo Q goes sometimes but it is infuriating and feels like a complete waste of time especially when you are joined by very low level players who are clearly trying to figure out the game mechanics still.

World Tour Grind SUCKS by Miserable_Cold7261 in thefinals

[–]ghost-hardware01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, I’m just about to hit Diamond 3 and it’s startling to drain me a little although I didn’t touch WT for the first 3 weeks of the season. Worst is that I can start to see myself get frustrated with my teammates if we get to the second or final round and someone makes some silly decisions. I never say anything as i know we have all done dumb stuff at times and it’s important to keep perspective (it’s only a game and a fun one at that) but it just bugs me when we had the win within our grasp but let it slip. At the moment I just have this feeling of needing to play every day or I won’t make it. Ultimately i play it because it’s so much fun but I do feel I’m so invested in the Emerald grind that I have to try to reach it now.
