The 5 Biggest Changes I'd Make to Naraka

[@MeIonSoju]

I agree with all of these changes, I appreciate your explanations on each one as well. If all of these were implemented along with immortal war I think a lot of people would be happy.

[@ChefOfTheDead]

I’d love to see immortal war become the main mode

[@MeIonSoju]

The true ranked mode haha

[@elmoblatch9787]

@@ChefOfTheDead I love immortal war. I even love mortal war

[@elmoblatch9787]

Your videos made me aware of Naraka and I agree with all these changes. Well done.

Thanks Elmo

A few ideas I had while watching the video: I agree with all the points made about free training, something else that'd be also really nice is the ability to have multiple people in a training room so you can have all the stats/analysis of the training room, but also the benefit of a live target. It could be either implemented either as what it currently is and just brings your party in with you, or it could be a mode for custom room. Speaking of custom rooms, extending the ability to be able to queue up while in custom rooms would also be nice, although there need to be a separation somehow between the rooms that are for scrap offs while waiting in queue versus serious 1v1s. The last one I want to propose is even more controversial than what you mentioned in the video, I want all platforms, steam, epic, gamepass, xbox, playstation, to be consolidated into one, singular set of leaderboards. Treat everyone equally instead of dividing up the player base. This might be a slight disadvantage to the controller players but I think the benefit could be much greater than the harm. Having one, universally recognized rank in a region would make it much more meaningful and easy to understand for those who are less familiar with the ranking system, instead of having conversations like "you're asura, but are you PC asura?" Also I'm not 100% qualified to say this since I'm not a controller player, but good controller players can definitely be as good as PC players, if not better. Chef is a shining example of this seeing how he cooked mine and many other notable PC players in the clips of this video. At the time of writing this comment, I also know for a fact that the number 9 player on the steam solos rank is also a controller player even though the play on steam, so don't sleep on the controller players, there are GOATs out there.

Agree 100% with you, i'm not even high elo, just a gold solo player and live in south america, but no matter how much i wait , i can't find a ranked game unless i actually queue for 10+ minutes and end up in north america with 170 ping. Any of the changes to get more active players in queue is welcome

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

Replenish is a setting players are not really made aware of in any way, and it's kind of hidden among many other options. I'm new to the game, and I only discovered it myself, with some luck, when I was looking up various information about the game. Alot of players around my level that I met have no idea about this setting, and even if I tell them about it, they don't know what it does or what difference it makes. At the very least, this setting should also be visible or available when choosing game mode (tickbox). It would raise player awareness of the setting, and make them question what it is. And there should be some information about it early on in your journey in the game. Personally I would like if there was an option in the training mode to put together a custom sequence of those special practice programs, so that you can put together some sequences of special practice that you can do in a sequence whenever you want or have time, to keep practicing what you consider you need to practice. That way you can perhaps create a daily practice routine or something like that. It's a bit tedious to select these particular practices individually each time. Ooh, and yeah, bloodbath rooms without bots filling the rest of the spots. It's already chaotic enough. No need to fill the room with bots also. I'd rather play with 6 players than 6 players and 10 bots. I know custom rooms is a thing, and they are usually much better, but regular bloodbath is/could be good/better for practice too.

[@ChefOfTheDead]

Exactly, most new players have no clue the setting exists, and even if they did, they don’t know what it does

[@thebottomg8391]

The Chef is cooking 😂😂😂

[@aoshihk1311]

Also just watched your older vid on replenish settings from a few months back, a couple questions , I'm brand new just started on Steam about a week ago, 1) Can I try out the game on Windows game store (pc play store) and link my progress for Steam so far - like is your overall account saved on the Naraka game account... and 2) Is gold actually earnable on a free account(non battle pass)? I just completed something in game /or it might have been a amazon prime gaming reward not sure - put i said I was to get gold click on it in game - yet my gold balance still says zero??

[@JustinaQwQ]

pretty good changelist and i agree for the xbox bot things the leaderboard is so inflated for no reason, imo they should just remove the option and merge all leaderboard together aswell, so we finally have a real top 500 region etc

[@asurakazuma]

Had no idea about the bot setting. Now I gotta wait a bit longer for games but I actually feel like I'm earning my kills. I wondered why bots seemed so frequent

[@ChefOfTheDead]

You’ll improve soooo much faster now, despite your matches becoming more difficult

[@kagarishi]

As a console player, the 5th change is the best one! I have been talking about this since xbox release, honestly I feel like it should work how it does for steam, where once you hit I think Plat or gold the bot que is no more amd you actually get more real players. I also feel like a lot of new players like the ones on Ps5 don't even know this setting exists. If you want to play cross off, you best hope all the others that play cross off get on 🤣

[@kagarishi]

@MaximusMeridius-fu5oo I'm also unrivaled, so I know about the que times being terrible, the reason is bc half of xbox is playing cross play off bot fill on to reach rank 1 that no one cares about lol

[@vannithegod]

great video fam

[@bigdogtyrant]

Well spoken Zombie Chef

[@ThreshtheWeebWarden]

i think having armor at the start similar to some BRs is going to make fights at the start even longer which is a bad thing, the revive is already there to catch you in case early game doesn't go as planned (reviving also gives you full set of grey loot and even a few souljades). fights in naraka end too fast or too slow depending on how good both players are. the revive can incentivize aggressive play since the revive is practically useless around mid game unless your teammates secure decent loot for you to swap out

[@ChefOfTheDead]

Grey armor is a pretty minuscule amount of extra health. But that’s the whole point, to make the fights a little longer at the start, instead of dying to the first combo someone does to you

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

Yeah, don't think there should be armor at beginning of the match, it's fine as it is.. You pretty much have to find both a weapon AND armor asap, or you'll be in trouble. It's part of the game too. Bad/good luck is sometimes part of the game too, and connected with where you spawn in.

[@Syahburei]

Imo, i think having a revenge meter when getting ganged up by 3 ppl in trios would be kinda nice (like for honor) it kinda sucks getting comboed to death and juggled sometimes hahhaha (i got comboed by a gang with 3 staff merciless havoc before. And they just took turns blue focusing and juggling me to death 💀

[@ChefOfTheDead]

That could be interesting!

[@zumzici1234]

For Honor is a different type of game, i don't think that kind of mechanic would work in a BR. You are not supposed to be able to 1v3 unless you get lucky and massively outplay your opponents. Devs already want to implement green focus which will probably help with getting juggled to death. Trios and duos is a team mode, and it's all about how well you coordinate with your teammates to combo someone off each other or to rely on them to get you out of combos (aside for ultimate combos). If you getting juggled often in trios and your teammates are alive, your team is probably not well coordinated.

[@maxrosefoxanime7225]

I agree on everything the last one kinda mix because I personally this could be me but it feels like pc players do more dng than console players do and I don't mean combo wise I mean like In general base hit like at least I'm not running enough defend or I'm just dumb lol but I think personally the bot button needs to be removed or just increase to 7 min or something

[@varas2905]

I've played a lot of bot matches and they are hard on hard mode. But they are just not that hard if u know what to abuse them. Some can read your blue focus input to parry, some can combo like crazy so that's what make it really hard. But their AI starting to break when u get souljade that altered third combo or just hide into a bush. They are extremely easy to bait parry since they will parry u once u charging blue. Those souljade that altered third combo, those things just guarantee to hit and they will never parry. If u are in the storm, bots will prioritize running outside the storm rather than hitting u, so easy kill

[@ChefOfTheDead]

Yep, it’s not that bots aren’t crazy good at certain things, it’s just that they’re only as strong as their weakest link

[@JJBCrimsonKnight]

Training mode NEEDS a way to practice match ups against skills and alts. I'm tired of just trying to run away from Zais ult. I need more time to practice dealing with it.

[@gianganginh3141]

I think we need more people in a match. 120 would be nice for trios, 40 for solo and 80 for duo

[@ChefOfTheDead]

That would be too many imo. 40 would be fine for solos, but that many for team modes would just increase the already taxing load on the servers, and increase queue times

[@DeadShinobu]

running around the map for 10 mins in searching da fight not cool at all@@ChefOfTheDead grey armor at start + 100 in solos and duos (50 teams) will be nice

[@ChefOfTheDead]

I don’t really know what you mean to say, but storm speed would be a much better way to solve mid match slowness rather than shoving more players into a game

[@DeadShinobu]

fast games not a cool games imo @@ChefOfTheDead

[@ChefOfTheDead]

What….? You prefer the elongated sections of running around? And even if more players in a game wasn’t more taxing on the server, raising the threshold of players to start a game would really hurt queue times

[@nikolaatanasov7419]

I agree with the stuff you say but keep in mind that playing from joystick vs PC is unfair and the players using joystick kinda just need to replenish the game with bots. And to be fair as much as it can (speaking for the ranked) joystick players need to be matched mostly with joystick players + with little lower rank PC players + replenishing bots if needed (this is for the solo). If its going to be duo or trio the idk :D they kinda knew where they were going

[@ChefOfTheDead]

You have a weird perception of controller, it’s barely a disadvantage in naraka

[@CircusGang]

Quality of life change thats needed asap.... The infinite juggle with the fire guy.... No INFINITES should be in the game

[@Kostars.]

I don't really see the problem with returning cosmetics, like I started to play this game when it was free but now im a Viper Ning main and I really want to put money and buy the swimming suit cosmetic for her. I only see benefits with it

[@ChefOfTheDead]

The problem is the power of FOMO. There are lots of people who would spend a dramatically lower amount of money on limited time cosmetics, if they knew that they’d eventually come back anyways. They want you to think “this will disappear forever soon, so if I really want it I have to spend now, and as much as it takes.” I’d love it if games didn’t have to rely on FOMO, but ultimately as a business, your concern is revenue

[@LuckyNeffy]

Damn use me as armor at start example I see how it is. I would say Immortal War should just replace ranked, and circles should start smaller and removing bots. Zone should be based on the players remaining.

[@ChefOfTheDead]

Big change and I like it

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

Zones seem pretty fine as they are. I've tested a few battle royal games with zones, and Naraka seems just right. The game shouldn't just be for hyper aggressive players either.

[@ChefOfTheDead]

@johnwayne-kd1pn what’s the point of wandering around a huge circle late game with 7 people alive while already fully looted up? Nobody just wants to aimlessly run around the map waiting, hyper aggressive or not

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

@@ChefOfTheDead Dunno, but it seems nice to have space to play towards the end of the game as well. Engage/disengage/reengage and avoid too many 3rd parties. The Yang arena, while nice, is not really the appropriate size for 3-4 players to fight it out in the end, if you include things like grapple hooks and ultimate's as part of the game. The "fight size" location for 1v1 on a regular map is considerably larger than that. If you look at the pro's, the areas they utilize is often the size of Mehtaab, or thereabouts, alltogether.

[@ChefOfTheDead]

You’re imagining a yang sized circle? XD When I say I want smaller circles I don’t mean ridiculously small. I’m talking about a scenario where it’s only 2nd or 3rd circle and there’s already only 5-15 players left. As neffy said, it would be great if circle size was based on remaining players. The issue is when there’s a huge amount of space between all players to the point where you can run around for minutes and not find anyone. Nobody wants a cluster of players jammed together, I just want there to be less downtime

[@I3LoodySenpai]

problem of the time, player want to have the highest rank but dont want to fight strong enemys. I dont know when this came up but its getting reality. Soon everybody can reach the highest rank with enough playtime, but without any skill matter.

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

Actually, I'm new, and it's happening even with that setting off. I'm overcompensated because I'm way below the average score of players in the match. It says something like "you're X+ points lower than the average score of the match, you will get higher score at the end of the match as a result".

[@shastadance7451]

Why not just remove the bot option from ranked mode but leave it for everything else like a quick match

[@KanashiiKarma]

Facts Bots in games are do do + Consoles vs PC is very fair i'm a controller player on pc i see barely any disadvantage only default settings and less buttons I don't get why PC player downplay consoles & console gamer "we can't beat PC" is dumb dumb give me gum gum energy Feedback just make Capture the Spirit Well always on 24/7 my homie boys in New Zealand have to stay up until 12am + don't wanna play BR 24/7

[@iFearYahuah]

its not the input difference that is the proble its the hardware difference. A pc gives more frames which in turn gives a lower ping. and allows a better reaction time and less delay between actions. Is it possible for console players to beat pc player? yes. But damn is it hard as hell.

[@KanashiiKarma]

@@iFearYahuah ah... Frames (FPS) only affect input delay & how well the game runs it doesn't affect ping/lag like bro I'm Australian and play in US at 300-400ms and still beating people with a controller & prob heck could do the same on a console

[@iFearYahuah]

when i was on console i started with 60ms. I upgraded my internet and dropped to 35ms. When i got my pc and in turn got more frames my ping dropped even further to 23ms. FPS does affect ping. You are on 300 ms on NA server (why not play on SEA and get better ping I will never know you do you) if you were to get lets say 100 more fps your ping would drop from 300ms to 250ms. Still very high ping but lower than what it is. In short In this game specifically FPS and Ping go hand and hand. High ping or low ping, The more FPS you have the lower your ping will naturally be. And Vice versa High ping or low ping the lower your FPS the higher your ping will naturally be. No one's ping is there natural ping because its heavily tied to one's FPS. @@KanashiiKarma

PC players are hardcore players, they sit literally inches away from the screen at a work desk and an office chair. Console players lay back in the sofa and relax and play the game. Doesn't mean console players can't do well, in many games, especially free camera 360 degree games, they can do better than PC.
