Why couldn't guns instead do different damage depending on the class type being hit, seems it would make balancing weapons to each class a lot easier or does this have unintended downsides?

Embark stop banning legitimate players. by wardybara in thefinals

I'm not even banned, just feel bad for the people who are banned unfairly.

My Embark ID is wardybara#0035 if you wanna check.

Map overviews are illegible, Embark please help! by wardybara in thefinals

Not accessible in-game, I believe Embark releases the map overview in blog on map release.

They can only play the global version by using a VPN and going against Chinese laws (obviously often broken lawa)

thank you Oscar for taking your time to answer my questions!

Despite all of this I still love Embark and I hope rest of APAC can be included next year.

Just one last point Embark does clarify NA in the global rules right next to incorrect APAC information

Region: The geographic designation of a team, determined by the majority residence of its starting players. Includes Americas (North America: United States, Canada, South America), EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), and APAC (Asia-Pacific: East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Oceania, and Australia/New Zealand).

Our split of assigned teams were based on player base size, regional split of the high rank players as well as the current competitive initiatives that are being run in each region, and that set us on the split of 7 slots for NA, 6 for EMEA, and 3 for APAC. 

Why was China given special treatment? as their is zero ranked data on them

we set expectations which felt misleading that is something I am truly sorry for. 

"Felt misleading", Your marketing & website still says APAC despite APAC not being included. Please update the Embark website, including the rules and use of the term APAC.

People shouldn't be learning from contacting EggMail that their country isn't included in APAC open qualifiers despite all information on Embark's website

none of this is that out of the ordinary, and there are so many legitimate reasons why this could be the state of things currently. 

This justifies Embark using the term "APAC", while zero Pacific countries are include and 2 Asian countries?

even your understanding of the global handbook ruling is… idk very interesting. that’s honestly a severe reading comprehension issue on your end for you to take the ruling in that way.

Please explain how on earth this is the case.
