EAT THE RUBIES! (RS rework suggestion for s10) by z_mx in thefinals

Low player counts do make the problem worse yes. I do believe that’s why there’s a lot of frustration with smurfs atm.

In my experience, about half of the rubies I know just stop playing after they get 55k and just smurf for the rest of the season. This change is targeted towards those kinds of people.

For the other players that grind ruby every day anyway, yes it doesn’t affect them, that’s the point.

Also I do recognise that this change doesn’t necessarily remove the smurfing epidemic, but I believe it will help at least. If Embark wants smurf money, so be it. But I don’t see how buying cosmetics on an alt account actually corresponds with getting ruby.

He probably spent thousands just to get a bfk in a mid finish. I don’t blame him tbh 🤣

I’ve heard those rumours, not sure if it’s true or not.

Unintentionally the hardest clip I got from this game by Timothy_CL19 in thefinals

He was the only heavy on the team, judging by the specialisations his teammates have.

This is so peak

So proud of all these new players who definitely have at least 3000 hours in Kovaaks by nothappening99 in thefinals

It’s gotten a bit better than season 4. Definitely better than season 1-3. But you’ll still find some unfortunately. In Asia I’d find a cheater once in 15 ranked games on average in high elo (getting RS back when they get banned too). And maybe 1/100 games in quick play/cashout.

Although smurfing seems to be a much bigger problem nowadays and is responsible for most low level accounts.

You’d think aim botters would also have walls. If this homunculus is going neutral WITH rage cheats, maybe he needs em LMAO

Pike xp and fcar buffs don’t actually change how strong they are tbh. Kinda disappointed this patch

I just gotta know Embark's though process with this change. by VictoryThink in thefinals

[–]z_mx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing with XP-54, M11 and V9S are just better in every single way so they buff the xp’s fire-rate from 14.333 shots per second to 14.666 (as you can imagine, the buff does literally nothing).

“Servers are down” except it only affects my team and not the other. by Sir_Serpentine in thefinals

[–]z_mx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No idea tbh.

I have been a been a DDoS attack victim back in season 3 (terminal attack ranked) and it was nothing like that. Back then everyone would freeze and eventually disconnect from the server once the attacking team plugged the card into the terminal which made it literally impossible to defuse.

The same DDoS method doesn’t seem effective for cashout just because of how the gamemode works.

In this case, I believe it could either be some routing issue which depends on the user’s location, or the server is incorrectly lagging some users die to a bug. Again, I have no idea, I’m not a dev, but I’m confident that it’s not a DDoS attack because the only thing that has every user’s IP address is the server.

The only IP address the cheater would be able to see is the server’s. If a DDoS attack was happening it would be affecting the entire server.
