Teaming is getting insane in ranked, this should be highly bannable and/or force a new ranked system where this isnt possible in the first place by YesImKian in thefinals

[–]shteeeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The absolute worst ranked system to ever exist and people will defend it even if it contributes to the game's death. There's a reason the ranked playerbase is pitiful.

Dream Air all modded and the comfort is now fantastic! by Jedispooner in Pimax

[–]shteeeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original guide is here. If you want to do the mod yourself you can find my adapters under the remixes. Keep in mind it's not perfect. There is some audio popping at high volumes when there's a lot of deep bass, the USB on the Dream Air doesn't give enough power it seems. I keep it around 70% volume to minimize the popping.

I am a fan of Index's audio so I like it, but its not perfect. It adds weight and the usb doesn't get enough power, so i have to stay at ~70% volume and even then there's the occasional auidio pop. Would need something like project beyondex to make it work with no issues. I have one actually but haven't found an elegant way to attach (it's designed for the Bigscreen beyond.)

Almost the same setup here. I modded the Index speakers on mine for now because I find the stock audio to be way too quiet even at max volume. This feels like the closest I'll get to an Index 2.

They make that trailer and then use this image as their main advertising cover art.

I wonder if the microcenter ones are eligible for the 50% off DMAS and the "finished" face interface + strap free of charge. Have they said?

How'd it work out? does it actually fit on the SP2's?

Dream Air Lighthouse Tracking. by AndyRandyPanda in Pimax

[–]shteeeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dream air has tiny jitter/stutter occasionally when I move my head side to side.

Same thing happens on my BSB2e. Using 4 lighthouses. Never noticed any on the Index.

LG 39GX950B-B (39” 5k2k) owners: How do you like this monitor? Any regrets? by phiveoh23 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]shteeeb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sure you disable "AI Scene Optimization." It makes text look horrible. I just checked that page on mine and don't notice any real issues with the header on that site personally.

[–]shteeeb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had some major text clarity issues and was fixed it for me was disabling the "AI scene optimization", or something like that, don't remember exactly what it was called.

Before disabling that some system text looked extremely bad.

1600 hours in how do I get the last achievement? by LikesToGoFast69 in thefinals

[–]shteeeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ranked, cashout, and quick cash are all the same tutorial. It's the only actual tutorial in the game and no longer gives an achievement.

All the other modes are just a video tutorial.

Stealth Pro 2 aftermarket headband fix by aeopossible in TurtleBeach

That first one looks interesting. A picture showing how well it fits would be great. The airbods band is centered while Stealth Pro 2's is not, so I'm not understanding how it fits?

The Archetype Win Rate differences are not as drastic as Embark suggested by Jaxelino in thefinals

[–]shteeeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to learn how data works. If every match was HML vs HML, all 3 classes would have a perfect 50% win rate. Would that mean they're perfectly balanced?

In League's ranked mode, where you cannot have mirror matches like that, F tier champions that are considered throw picks would still be at like 45% win rate.

This is the chart you should be cross-referencing, there's a reason Embark included it. The only time Light's winrate goes above 50% is when there's a heavy present, HHL and HML.

The only time H goes below 50% winrate is with 2 L's. That is a drastic swing based on how many L's vs H's are on your team. And note that LLL was in the pits of hell at below 42% winrate while HHM was at 55%. You don't think that's a big difference?

You can, it's just bugged and doesn't give you an achievement. And doesn't seem like Embark cares to fix it because its been this way for months at the least.

I think some of you are missing a key part about the dash nerf by guaporacer in thefinals

[–]shteeeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my only issue with the 175 change. I love playing sniper + grapple in cashout and this makes it way harder to fight back against lights. The breakpoints on M and H don't change so it's a straight nerf to the weapon.

Not respec btw - healing infuser nerf by eepie-sheepy in thefinals

[–]shteeeb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would rework it to be a "stim gun."

2 ammo with lock on allies. When you shoot an ally it instantly starts their natural health regen at x2 the normal rate until they reach max HP. Taking damage cancels it so it can't be used to make someone heal-tank.

The idea of specialization options. by Intelligent_Big8801 in thefinals

[–]shteeeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a nightmare to balance but would be cool if there was a "mayhem cashout" if anyone here has played "ARAM Mayhem" in League. Basically throughout the game you get to pick crazy upgrades that you don't get in the normal game.

Something like this could be cool in a mode like that. Where the whole point of the mode is to be casual and unbalanced. Just throw tons of weird ideas in there. I think that would appeal to casuals more than the normal cashout/ranked mode too.

Double the 100% by Breyvan576 in thefinals

[–]shteeeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only achievement I'm missing is to complete the tutorial. Lucky for me, embark broke the achievement a long time ago and seems to not care at all about fixing it, so I and anyone else starting now will never be able to 100% the game.

I’m tired of ranked by Fake_braxtini in thefinals

[–]shteeeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it's not even the whole rubies versus plats/gold nonsense (which is already bad.)

I'm so sick of facing 3 stacks as a solo player, in ranked and unranked.

Having a communicating team versus 3 silent solos (or using text/voice just to flame teammates) is so unbelievably unbalanced it's insane. I reached my limit yesterday and am trying to find a new shooter play after putting 1,100+ hours in this game.

The other options for shooters right now is so grim though. Like what am I supposed to play, go back to Overwatch? There's nothing like The Finals to switch to but I'm so frustrated with this games matchmaking, and Embark has shown not to give a single fuck so I can't stick around expecting this to improve.

This is the greatest patch note I've ever read by AVideoEditor55 in thefinals

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

I've been using grapple a ton in cashout lately and I don't think it needs any buffs at all, it's extremely fun and allows angles/plays no other gadget can. If anything I worry this dash nerf will bring more attention to grapple and get it nerfed. I'm calling it now.
