THANK YOU EMBARK. being the only gold 1 in my ftiend group (reached it last night) I was really worried I'd have to choose between emerald rank or playing woth friends. Now the wins I need will directly help my friends get to gold one as well

[@THiiXY]

Yeah it seems pretty reasonable, I don't think there would have been enough varied players at a single time for a separate Emerald queue, but I like it as well

It's a water gun but with flammable liquid inside. That's why the lighter is tapped to the front. It makes sense like this imo

THiiXY, if you plan on doing it last minute, don’t actually do it last minute. SO, Gold is from 750-1500 WP, 750 pts You’ll have to either -Win 29 tournaments -Lose at The Final Round 47 times -Qualify on the first round 108 times As for the time that’ll take lol it’s a drag

[@THiiXY]

Well looks like I better start warming up ahaha

[@Fakhori.M]

Don't forget... qualifying in the first round means u have to play the second round too.. and lose there So it's actually double time

[@joelsanchez2776]

So you have to play at least 216 rounds and win at least half of them in the best word case scenario… yikes

[@RadioDavidly]

Thanks for the update as always! Love your content.

[@THiiXY]

Ayyy thanks for tuning in my guy

[@EBOLAtugfeTV]

What I wanted is the penalty re-introduced (at 30% of course) for everyone except the defending team, once the Cashout is done or they got the money stolen, such team lose the benefit. Please someone with more voice give this idea to the devs, it goes hand in hand with that they tried to do, which was avoid double punishing defending teams, and obviously with this suggestion if they die first and the Cashout station still on their side they won't get affected that much, but if they don't manage to defend, got the money stolen from them and then wiped, they obviously deserve the double punishment. Thanks for reading and spreading this idea. Also, rework the Light class to be a combat medic instead of an annoyance that doesn't synchronize with the rest of the team. Thanks guys

[@L84ANL]

I like this, if you have a cashout in your possession you're safe from team wipes. Forcing attackers to make the right offensive decisions and facing penalties when not

[@THiiXY]

I think the benefit that we get this season is that Embark can test everything and gather the feedback from people, maybe they can go ahead with wilder changes, but I will say one thing - simplicity. The entry barrier for cashout is very difficult for new players - hence we are getting this sort of big bang then drop every season with playerbase. If we keep adding more complexity to cashout then it will make the mode overall even harder for people to stick with. I will say thought that I don't disagree with trying this or new ideas out, I think you've spent some time into thinking about it and I wouldn't mind giving this a shot :)

[@GolemOfMagic]

Hey for the flamethrower yea I have always wanted different color flamethrowers and 2 ways I think they could go about it 1 less as cool. 1st way is the flame from your thrower is a different color but anything you burn will be the normal color of flame. And one better for competitive but less as fun is only from the person with the flamethrower (or maybe the flamethrower team as well) can see the different colored flame( and it could see keep it anything it burns the normal flame color. Just a rough ideal I'm typing fast down while at work lol

[@Andrewstown]

Another victory for the OGs

[@monkey-with-the-drip5296]

I do agree they should update the blue flames on that Watergun skin. And Hopefully they let us using those lewis animations...

[@THiiXY]

Yeah I know they can say so it's not pay to win etc but even changing the sound and colour would be cool, the reload if anything is way less cluttered compared to the original reload lol

[@mangekoo3682]

A throwing mechanic would be nice to see. Sneaking up behind an opponent a do a cool animated kill.

[@CreativeDrone]

My house flooded and I've been in a hotel for two months with no access to my rtx 3060, only an integrated graphics laptop with 8gb ram, but anyways bc of that i havent been able to see how many days are left of the season, so it would be great if someone could tell me

Yooo I'm sorry to hear man WTF.... :( It's annoying but have you tried playing on Geforce NOW? If you have good internet there you can still play semi-decently... either way, there's about 58ish days left, something like that, maybe someone will say exactly in the comments

[@Chickensea10]

Dang dude, well on the brighter side the master circuit is opening up in 1 more day for more xp opportunities! Good luck, the skin at the end is always wicked!!

[@CILINKY]

Not a fan of the emerald ranking system. Only being able to gain points by winning a tournament is unmotivating especially when you get to the finals and lose giving you no progress at all. Punishes solo players heavily

[@THiiXY]

Ohhhh that's actually a good point, yeah solo is going to be rough for us damn :L

[@theherlio7095]

You can get past the solo player issue easily by doing the lfg on the official finals discord. That’s what I’ve been doing why my normal squad isn’t on

For solo players the emerald is so hard. Been two days stuck in E4, I can’t get a job either. If I do I can’t get the emerald, evil work yall.

[@THiiXY]

100% I think it should at least have been 1st and 2nd place (2nd place is half towards a win for example)

[@iquuee8132]

really been enjoying the game since getting back into it 2-3 months ago. haven’t played since season 1, but since coming back been enjoying the game feels wayyy better and enjoyable. really excited about emerald finally coming out something more to grind for (im gold 1) but surprised this game doesn’t have a esports scene i mean its a good fps game with movement and team/work dynamics 🤷🏽‍♂️ idk would someone’s opinion. W vid !

[@THiiXY]

100% I agree with you too, I've been playing since and seen a lot of ups and downs I'll admit but very recently they've been pretty solid with their decisions and updates, not perfect but a step in the right direction that makes me happy with the longer term future when it's ready

[@joshcastro8526]

I'm bummed they reverted all the changes to world tour. I feel like plugging giving instant cash made lights viable. It provided a bit more of a team oriented role for the light.

Got to admin not impressed at all with this. For those of us that had grinded to get to Gold 1 with the thought that we may then get to work for emerald with other G1s, we have been rewarded with everyone who didnt put the work in to now gets more points to get to Gold 1 aallowing them to do it in a much faster time, and we still have to use their MM which pairs me with no ranks, or new players nearly every game while trying to grind out wins for emerald. Once again they have shown they do not respect the players time, and you are in fact punished for playing. (like how they changed the requirements for the yellow arm tattoo from Wins to some other easy to get challenge). There was no reason for them not to have already pushed Emerald live weeks ago due to still using the same WT lobbies, so it just means the last 3 weeks or so while i have been sat at G1 , none of my wins count. Still no balance changes, or new content. Think my time is done with the finals for now, hopefully season 4 has a relaunch, but I'm not holding my breath even if i am crossing my fingers.

I think I'm done with this game.. I'll finish Master circuit in coming weeks. I think there's nothing left for competitive soloQs in this game. I'm not sure im gonna stick for S4.

[@THiiXY]

Sorry to hear man :( I actually found the same in Season 2 before I was finally able to get Diamond... it's honestly difficult as solo and what I recommend is just adding good players in your team along the way and build up a collection of people to queue with. I am quite shy but I found that getting Ruby or Emerald was more important so we needed to add people

[@joelturner5957]

They need to fix the servers here in New Zealand man it sucks trying to find world tour games I have spent 20 mins waiting to find lobbies so essentially I can’t even get emerald because there are barely any lobbies in my country and I can’t play overseas lobbies becoz the lag is just to much to deal with and makes so looking for people to play

[@THiiXY]

Yeah I know some people queuing in OCE region and they tell me that certain things such as WT is impossible - Terminal Attack is another one especially ranked apparently they can't get a game :L I think it's just that there's not many players over there idk? :(

[@dirtcreature3d]

why don't they ever make skins for the XP54....one of the most used guns in the entire game. No emerald skin is disappointing...

[@THiiXY]

I'll agree that it is pretty sad they didn't add in any events etc yet, to be fair it's been a month and we aren't halfway just yet, but still people really enjoyed the Smoking Guns event etc, wouldn't hurt if they had no time to just bring it back for a week

[@GolemOfMagic]

BRO since they change to no lost cash when wiped I been saying that was a step toward the right but I think they should do 10% of total cash they way it's not enough to take you from 1st to last and no way of coming back but you could lose enough to lose a spot that could cause you to leave and I see you video pop up when I got to work so I decided to listen to it as I worked then I heard you say they changed it to 10% bro I'm so happy about that. ( I had a buddy that I told the ideal to and it wasnt sure about it but he said they probably wouldn't even do 😂 I hope he sees the new changes) Iv told so many people and no one really agreed but a few 😅 but I am happy they did it😂😂

[@lambsauce_apex7118]

Bro just saying the reasoning for why the wiping penalty is good was completely wrong. The main problem with a low or no wiping penalty is that you can thirdparty hard and without fear even in 1st place

[@THiiXY]

There's other sides of the coin too, for example my team was manipulating spawns and wiping so we could get a free cam before we hit a site or rotated off early and wiped to get a better spawn for a vault.

fewer updates rn= EPIC season 4... also i think if u had a group of 3 friends, hml would be pretty OP with coordination, using light as stun gun, medium as healing, and a heavy with melee/flamethrower, grapple, and maybe some protection.

I understand that emerald is really for the competitive ones, but not gaining anything if you lose the final round is just so sad it's not even worth playing if you're a solo and all of your friends are mostly busy with life.
