I know you’re working hard behind the scenes for all of us 100% Like I said this change can’t be done without a reason and I’m hoping this change won’t be the downfall of Farlight 84. Yeah most of us aren’t happy with it at all but we’ll all just have to wait and find out what the future has for this game. I’m sure too most of us aren’t totally mad about it being removed but we’re mad about the fact that there’s absolutely zero movement mechanic in this game. We need something as jetpacks are being removed, all the best to them tho. You the man Zak, thanks for being honest.
Right before farlight global launch they reduced all car speed by 40% Then they also made jetpacks 33% slower a month prior to global release my hole clan stopped playing after messing up THE UNIQUE JETPACK YOU CANT FIND IN OTHER GAMES
i guess this is there biggest mistake....😂😂😂 how's farly now after update? its so hard to start ryt??? gud luck on your journey i think im going back to COD and PUBG 👌
Urban music doesn't really suit this dystopian idea really. Rock/mysterious music was better match. Several possibilities overall. Farlight games is a mix of top talent and some confused devs imo. Possible theories; 1)The 'jetpack up' really was taking up a lot of memory and many innovations are possible without it. Not totally convinced that no innovation at all would be possible, though there is likely some ballpark reasoning to it. FL84 is a low MB game overall with fairly fast, smooth characters so can't see how the 'jetpack up' was seriously guzzling server memory to the 'no innovation possible' degree. I may be wrong though. If true, you still need cost benefit style analysis. Even if you have 20 new, mediocre innovations, does this beat one, amazing innovation such as 'jetpack up'? As a last resort could Farlight games release two versions; jetpack for the pros and slightly easier 'no jetpack' version? Theory 1 suggests that FL games has something up their sleeve, and are onto something, but IMO it would have to be something extremely good to 100 percent justify their direction. The devs would have to be sure that this direction of innovations, to reiterate, will be in some way 'epically good', not just 'good' and the community would have to start agreeing at some point. 2) Compromise. Farlight games could realise that 'jetpack up' can be made like the current 'horizontal jetpack' with longer cool down/one burst only. This might also allow them to have some, but not all of, their 'innovations' which were being 'guzzled up' by server intensive maneuvers (if this is true). Maybe FL games could explain exactly what 'jetpack up' prevents from taking place. Multilayered maps with unusual topgraphies are cool, I admit, but perhaps not cool enough to overly compromise movement; maybe going half way on these ideas would suffice? Does 'jetpack up' prevent new landscapes or vehicles in some way? What exactly does 'jetpack up' prevent I wonder? I am not saying Farlight Games are 100 percent wrong, just saying there likely is a compromise possible. 3)Full remission to full movement capability. It could be that 'jetpack up prevents innovative ideas' is an excuse for 'we are too timid to release a completely wild, new concept on to the market'. This would be the biggest error IMO as the general format of old Farlight84 would have been a big success. I personally found out about farlight by watching it on a random blog about multiplayer games and I chose by look and feel of the game, so Farlight games can trust people's instinct for the new and weird. In theory 3, FL games should just revert to the old style, including the old, more detailed character design. In theory 3 they should do this ' reverting to old ways' regardless, even if they can't have all the innovations that they want and even if it is memory intesive. 'So what if something very unique guzzles server space?' is a very reasonable and fair mindset. This option is, thus, very valid since you just need to look at the way which the old Farlight was almost like a peice of finished art, for what it was, with no need to tamper with the essence of it. Would you overly tamper with well executed art in the non-gaming world? Gaming videos, all over UA-cam, showing so many players who mastered old FL with never ending creativity. Of course, improvements could be made in matchmaking, maybe even with a 'difficulty' settings, so theat noobs and intermediates are not playing legends all the time.
I agree with them adding rolling/sliding mechanics for most of the Heroes but the player base already grew up with the Jetpacks since the Alpha/Beta days including me and to see the core mechanic swept away from us players is kinda weird because in the end its gonna be another Normal BR game.The jetpacks is what made Farlight a game thats unique but i respect their decision Will see what happens next when the update comes out tomorrow
Exactly. As I was responding to some d1ck rider attacking anyone criticizing the decision and telling us to just stop crying and quit. FL84 had two major selling points: 1. Unique vehicles 2. Jetpacks The unique vehicles are unique alright, but are so bad that they feel more like a trap cage for you to be slaughtered inside. They never really worked since the beginning. But they tried to improve them and people can still risk their luck inside vehicles if they want. Now, the jetpacks at least worked. And they are removing them. So, the two major unique features of FL84 that set them apart from other BRs are nothing. Vehicles are still meh, and jetpacks are completely gone. It's just a BR. I already have others. And speaking of uniqueness even Super Mecha Champions is unique in combining Mecha fights and Pilot fights. I already play other BRs which are better than FL84 if you take away these unique features. To ME, at least, there's not much left other than attachment to the game. I will give it a try but I doubt I will stay. As there's not enough time to play everything. And without something to set it apart from others I already play, then I have no reason to.
the thing is they said before they will make some changes in the jetpack then all of a sudden they removed it without any announcements... its like they dnt think about the comunity that will get hurt with that decision... its the trust that have been broken... the trust for a company that they are making it for the sake of the players but no... even almost all of the community reached out to them they just dont listen... its like they dont care at all... trust is a very powerfull thing... they they wake up after this update on what they did to the game...
Just downloaded the game to play for the first time. It was cool but movement feels really slow. That’s the first thing that stuck out to me. Gun fights feel like accuracy battles which is cool but I’m used to codm where you can move around on top of that. I set my hud up for jump shotting though which makes it feel a bit more challenging. Kinda sucks to hear this game used to have jet packs, that seems really cool compared to the current movement. I wanted something apex ish but the movement is too slow to really feel intense gameplay.
Longer cooldown for jetpacks. Longer cooldown means less jetpack usage more gunplay. Jetpacks will be only be used at crucial moments wether escaping or chasing. Not just a tool to walk around the map.
I am seeing people using jetpacks but I haven't seen the buttons, I've only played twice since update, came in 1st, then 2nd just now, but saw some ppl using jetpack just like old times, I don't understand how to use it lol thinking about deleting the game. only got it to play with my 8 year old son anyway. would love to figure out how to use the jetpack again...thx
We need more transparency between the devs and the community. Why don't we have an actual CM (Community Manager)? Why are they not giving us a glimpse of the roadmap for 2024? It is so sad. Good video as always bro
Thanks for posting this Lythes! I said pretty much the same thing, but took me several paragraphs, lolol! - They probably do have a Communication Manager, and this should have been one of the times where they were completely open with their Entire Development on changing the Majority of the game! Its crazy they just changed everything and got Major resistance and then just sad "Our bad" and that was it. Hopefully they don't continue to do this, its not what sustains a game long-term.
I hope they know this transition is at the worst time. A lot of mobile players are playing because apex mobile left a hole. Farlight filled it. People love the game now and they are completely changing it when major mobile br’s are coming out early this year.
thanks but no man. the Jetpacks worked all along. the jetpacks themselves were the selling point of the Battle Royal, with or without abilities. But i hear you, but still. Im just so heartbroken man
"We all noticed this feature wasn't present in any other Battle Royale shooter". You said it right there, jetpacks made the game unique. This mechanic is what kept me playing as a new player, to me the most novel and interesting part of the game. An hour or so into 2.0 and it's feeling quite sterile and more of a typical 'by the numbers' BR game. I'll try to give it some more time, but my initial reaction is this is a major loss...
As a game vet, me & my kids are not really a fan of battle royale type of games until Farlight 84 came. One of the unique feature that sets it apart is more freedom of movement!!! If they won't restore that mechanic, that will be its DOWNFALL!!!
I was playing the game and never noticed the update...till I got into the game and was like wtf i cant fly no more and here I am looking up a vid about why they removed it
Been playing since release, invited tons of people, bought lots of things every patch and this is the thanks i get? It will take divine intervention for me to come back to this game
With the removal of jetpack, they should add a sliding, roll or dash mechanism with jetpack animation so that we will still be like using jetpack. Also, it is crucial now that they add that we can cancel reload if there are any remaining magazines just like in call of duty mobile, pubg mobile and apex legends mobile so that we won't be at a disadvantage if we are reloading then suddenly we are being shot or attacked unlike before we have jetpacks to escape.
Well fair point, but they have to add some kind of mobility thing like you mentioned and it's gotta be slide but for EVERYONE. But ngl, jetpacks were the coolest thing I've ever seen in a BR so seeing it gone saddens me. But whatever, hopefully things go well
let's be honest, nobody wants movement and ability changes, nobody complained and the game is at its peak, why does it need to progress into something nobody wants ? makes no sense to me but yeah im quitting either way
If you’re going to remove jet packs you gotta add slides or some sort of movement. People got used to them and every successful BR has movement unless it’s Fortnite that has building for the simple fact that when you are in the open you don’t want to just instantly die. With no movement technique in a BR you will get punished pretty bad and it will be unfun to die like that
I'm the only player left in our clan! During new updates I encourage my friends to play but the only thing they ask is that "are the jetpacks back online?". I said no then still no one plays... They are still hoping that the jetpacks would be back! I missed the late nights we played even there was a strong earthquake about magnitude 7.4 we still playing on coms we were surrounded and my friend shouted Mama and herd him running outside on his room, and also one my friend shouted don't be scared hold on we are surrounded, and my wife ran close to me she was scared hahaha and I didn't budge a bit and our neighbor shouted it was scary... I am the only one who still plays until the power went off holding the high ground it was 3 squads left. I really missed those days🥲
I think the reason they are removing them is because they want the game to be a huge e-sports title, perhaps the devs seem to think that for proper e-sports balance they cannot have jetpacks. That's my theory anyway! Essentially longer term it doesn't matter though, there are so many games that we can move to. None of them have Farlight 84 like movement, but Farlight 84's big selling point was the jetpacks, without these we can look at a game overall and play something that's more polished, less buggy, and has more players. Games come and go and Farlight 84 shone brightly for a while. We'll not forget the jetpacks and perhaps some other dev will fill the void and do a game that's like Farlight 84. Till then, there are so many good games to enjoy.
Exactly. As I was responding to some d1ck rider who was attacking anyone criticizing the decision and telling us to just stop crying and quit. FL84 had two major selling points: 1. Unique vehicles 2. Jetpacks The unique vehicles are unique alright, but the controls are so bad that they feel more like a trap cage for you to be slaughtered inside. They never really worked since the beginning. But they tried to improve them and people can still risk their luck inside vehicles if they want. Now, the jetpacks at least worked. And they are removing them. So, the two major unique features of FL84 that set them apart from other BRs are either janky or gone. Vehicles are still meh, and jetpacks are completely out. It's just another BR now. I already have others. And speaking of uniqueness even Super Mecha Champions is more unique in combining Mecha fights and Pilot fights. I already play other BRs which are better than FL84 if you take away these unique features. To ME, at least, there's not much left other than attachment to the game.

@@edvydevalon8684 I said to ME. So as to 4.: my device is not low-end (plus, there are other games with good optimization). Also, for the first time, I experienced some stuttering recently, which I was surprised. Granted, it was a very chaotic skirmish with lots of people jetpacking around, vehicles, explosions, etc. Regarding 3.: graphics and artstyle of FL84 are not very unique. Characters, abilities, setting, etc. do they have their own flavor. Even without the jetpacks. But truthfully, only attachment to the game itself can make it work. But it's a very thin thread, in my opinion. Especially for who was already here since the beginning. People just starting et al will not mind these, doesn't really matter to them. It's just a new BR to try on. But remember that people move from BR to BR pretty quickly. Especially when they all look so similar.
From almost 30k players active to 3k active players. For me the only thing that made quit farlight is the sudden disappearance of jetpacks and without any announcements to the whole farlight 84 community.😢 😢
The game needs to revolve around jetpack, even though it's very hard and challenging to do, jetpack makes all the different, it's the core of the game, you don't remove the core of something great, instead you need to support it
Just switched from pubgm a week ago because of how cool jet packs were, I guess I'm back to pubgm. This game needed more exposure and marketing, I never heard of the game untill I saw a random content creater casually playing it.
I highly doubt that jetpacks can strain servers. The direction vector has limited possibilities and it's that, a vector, the servers don't need to calculate the position every single milisecond, just needs to make sure the client return a position consistent with the direction vector at the start of the jetpack flight
If they took the jetpacks and gave us some evade or something like Maggie's tactical roll It wudda been cool. Feel like a sitting duck most of the time with this update
I used to be a paying customer of Fairlight 84 - not anymore. It is truly difficult for me to fathom how anybody can screw up a good game with one update.
Nah bro it wasn't just one update it was a series of update which reached the breaking point at may 30th update ,at least for me Like because of this recent update I can't even play the game again it just shows a black screen after the Lilith and unreal engine splash screen
The removal of jetpacks actually created more imbalance to the game. If you get caught in open, it's done, no way to evade faster or get cover, now everyone literally just wait in corners and camps, it gets too boring now to play, it basically has no movement mechanic to the game.
I started playing the game since its beta release. The jetpacks were very useful and a life saver whenever you found yourself in a sticky situation, so I understand why people are mad. In my opinion, the player base needs to either get good or just quit. I'm kind of fed up with all the complaints and hate towards the game recently.
Just came from playing thr new update.1 without jetpacks the game is boring.2.now it looks like anyother shooter game😢.i actually left pubg for farlight and now it feels the same😢
They’ll definitely be losing my super VIP. I do not understand why these gaming companies mess with the movement of the games. They profit the most when there is movement incorporated, more people want to play. Well, it was nice while it lasted
Did i heard it right?? “Jetpacks puts a strain on servers?” Most online games are downloaded on the device and the communication with servers are done thru packets right? Can you please shed some light on what you said? Coz i think the processing or handling of graphics related stuff will be on smartphone or pc..
played this game because of solely unique gameplay experience that it offers from the BR market where no other BR games have it the 'Jetpacks' killing this core gameplay mechanic (you said it yourself that it was in the alpha and beta the jetpacks) I think removing jetpacks will make this game generic to what other games BR hero that other BR mobile games will offer. If that's the case I rather play apex then. The only thing different from these two games now is that you have one more active skill in F84 and it's a 3rd person shooter. Now if I don't want hero type BR game and want BR 3rd person shooter then I will play fornite non building mode since it has collabs with no jetpack mechanic only sliding and has bigger player base easily. I'm PC only player The devs are stupid for making this decision. #StickWithJetpacks!
I myself don't play the game , but I don't understand the fact why they remove a feature that is the reason for players to play and enjoy the game , to add new features, like if players are already satisfied with what is there, why wanna remove it for something else that players don't opt in to
Jetpack was one of the thing that makes me to choose far light 84 among other battle royale so removing jetpack will have bad effect on far light 84 and also it will make other battle royale game contender to win when competing with far light 84 because jetpack is the best movement in far light 84 so I don't see the reason for removing jetpacks in far light 84 thank you.
I hate this idea, and as a relatively new player, I wont hesitate to drop this game if I dont like the result. I feel for those that have really invested their time and/or money into this game. This is a case of developers saying "we know what you want better than you do" which is almost never true. It doesn't feel good to see a game you like make dramatic changes that nobody asked for, which has rarely been successfully done in the past. Let's hope they're right about this one.
You may ask why there were no jetpacks or similar mechanics in other battle royales? And the answer is simple. Because there was a Pubg. The whole basis of battle royal games came from the fact that it is primarily a survival game. And only then the shooter game. In the classic battle royale, the most important thing is to survive. But time is changing and battle royal has already firmly entered the minds of most people as a shooter. And the jetpacks came from arena shooters. Which are characterized by high-speed, aggressive gameplay. But it so happened that arena shooters are traditionally FPS shooters. And now Valarant and Rainbow six siege will come out. And the developers apparently decided to bet on battle royal. That's why the jetpack was removed to better match the battle royale genre.
If Every hero had jetpacks how could it be unbalanced. Instead it is very unbalanced now, making some heroes way more mobile than others, and others being sitting duck and boring
yup agree but its also not the complete picture unfortunately most of the other hero abilities and the new hero plus the mech boss all were scheduled to come in this update have been delayed so people cant even experience the full new chapter 2
So you're actually saying that the devs are not up to the task in accomplishing what other BR games couldn't accomplish? I mean Farlight 84 tried and started this jetpack mechanic why not maintain it that way...everybody knows that is what set Farlight 84 aside from other BR games. I say/suggest that they should bring that jetpack mechanic because it is what hooked their players in the first place aand develop the game in that way and just think of other ways of balancing the game, I know that their are always a way to fix/balance things.
If they want to make gunplay more realistic then they should increase theCD of the jetpacks, after increasing CD players can't use it evey time and just use in a crucial moments.
I hope the game will not render as soon as I land to the ground in Battle Royale mode, it happen like so often now and had to wait for at least 30s for me to get the weapons and others
of all the things they could remove they chose the one thing that made farlight different from the others? now it’s just like any other battle royale game. not to mention, without jetpacks, there is literally no movement in this game. the moment you’re out in the open you are dead. such a shame.
I think they're putting it back, they received a massive backlash from playstore never seen a 2 star review with more than 1500 likes compalining about jetpack removal and it caught their attention and that's good
I started playing when there were 2 hikes of jetpack , when there was currency system to buy from shop , when you had to collect 1UP manually , when there was no health and shield upgrade, when the main map was the grassland. A lot has changed. Back then my main used to be Phantom now its Ceanna.
So far with all the latest changes to farlight, like the added gun recoil to get a more realistic gunfeel has me not very excited for 2024, guns like the ak feel ruined and only now benefit cheaters who dont have recoil, thx to farlight as an apex player, i havent even tried the finals yet, farlight has been fun on pc and i was able to bring in 7 friends, the vehicles have been anoying and the strong aim assist, but the relaxed or lack of sbmm has kept us playing together, im a 5.88 kd apex solo queue player, its impossible to play apex with my friends, they get shredded and warzone gets me shadowbanned in just 1 or 2 hours of playtime, im sure as they are chasing to become apex we will see things like strict sbmm soon aswell, lack of movement, recoil and cheaters and feature rich one shot vehicle bs and things noone asked for like the mech, what we wont see is what a lot of people do want, like unified movement for all heroes, the kit maggie has/had should have been standard movement for all heroes and then you build from there, sadly the way noone knows this games excisted is the reason it lacks players, i spend an evening refreshing my queue on steam one night until i eventually was shown this gem of a game, its really a shame and i never heard of this game before finding it and i am on top of every major fps game release, even eve onlines vanguard alpha test tommorow that only hardcore eve players know about, their game was fine, their marketing wasnt, fix the marketing and the game would have been great as is, now its going to be fortnite no build without the fortnite marketing
Now it's all about who has sniper with 4x. You run run run find sniper with 4x and that is the game. Also you shoot 4 clips to kill a guy with porcupine and after he respawns with full shields on you and kills you while you heal.
Thank u for this video I just got farlight n I love it Soo much but am scared because people are leaving this game but through this video I hope will stay in this game
Tbh only reason I start playing this game was the unique movements and without that Farlight is just an another battle royale. What we really see is they literally tried copy everything from Apex lol. There are better games if we want to experience slow and strategic gameplay with better graphics and optimizations. Wzm, Rainbow 6 mobile, valorant mobile will also release soon and it’s doubtful Farlight even stand a chance specially high level heroes will also released very soon. Not interested in a game whose developers don’t give a fk about what community says anyways
I want to believe that tomorrow they will have a surprise that no one knows, some new functionality that they didn't activate in the beta test server , and that you don't know either because otherwise the game will be affected.
They probably did this to accomodate less buttons too for controller players and the removal of jetpacks makes the game slow enough for console players to handle fights. i am speculating that they might be doing it for console release.
If they only make the process of removing jetpack slowly the players probably will not be enraged so much but they did it in one swoop instantly breaking the trust players have to the devs also they been making less popular changes in these past updates like character redesign and voice changes.
Get a Bar.95, and a 4x+ sight and you are good to go, no counter play, for short range get a defender and they wont be able to dodge since the jet packs are gone
Reinstalled the game after a few months only to realize that jetpacks have been removed...might as well play Apex now since the unique aspect of Farlight is gone
"having such a high mobility feature hinders growth and creativity of most abilities" NAH man, they just f*cked up something backend and can't fix it because of deadlines, orrr they're having a hard time balancing and they just want the easiest way out. They should've conducted a survey or made a test server for this kind of drastic change. Oh and the jetpack IS a CORE MECHANIC of this game so the should've just find a way to balance it instead of removing it.
I used to play pubg mobile and left it because of slow paced gameplay , i got bored of it. I instantly switched to fairlight 84 because of the faced paced gameplay but now unfortunately we will have slower paced gameplay.guess i need to go back to pubg mobile or wait for high energy heroes
W video broski I'm gonna give 2.0 a chance and play this season .. but i can't promise I will stay.. the main reason I downloaded this game was because of the jetpacks.. also because it was well optimized.. nowadays it feels as if farlight is trying to fall into pocket.. basically be like every1 else.. they not keeping their unique aspect.. if that's the case I might as well go back to codm.. where there is a wider verity of vehicles.. and an even wider verity of weapons With custom loadouts... Again this is just my opinion..
I'm in the same boat, I can't promise that I will stay. It is unlikely, I'll play 2.0 but if I don't click with it pretty quick I'll be concentrating on Fortnite exclusively and perhaps trying something new.
I honestly think the fall/rise of Farlight84 is solely dependent on its content creators. All I see is all creators with massive influence crying about the new adjustment, wining like a child instead of giving a wider perspective, not knowing they have a great impact on the game and the community. Everything is not meant to be perfect, things are bound to change. So, as a dedicated farlight84 player, I would urge the creators as well as the community to embrace the new system instead of wining and crying like a baby.
The majority of them are young and, admittedly, their perspectives can be somewhat limited. However, I'm dedicated to guiding them and broadening their horizons to various viewpoints. I fully comprehend the frustration some may feel, but there are effective ways to communicate our message and reassure the community.
Dude everyone have their opinion and we have many games we can move to if we just want a shooter br If I don't like the change , I don't like it. I will leave this game and so should all creators who don't like this game
The reason i play the game is because of it Unique jetpack, now I'm might as well just go play every other Battle Royal game with similar abilities that offers more.
they still wondering what farlight gonna be in the future, but they step into the wrong direction, i just hoping they cancel the skill change update, keep the jetpacks, and give the new skill to other new character in the future, if they want to add balance in game, maybe add more movement, and increase the jetpack cooldown, not delete the jetpacks, that's the dumbest decision i ever see in the history of game, deleting the thing that your game known about.
Great vid zak💛 understand why they are removing jetpacks. But here's a few ideas to replace/bring them back: 1. Sliding/rolling 2:30 I think this will be a good replacement for jetpacks since its the same as a dash just watered down. You can activate the sliding by double tapping the crouch button just like in othet games. 2: Longer Cooldown Making jetpacks cool down slower will make it more balanced since jetpacks are only used in fighting, escaping or chasing. Less jetpacks means more gunplay. like what @agentorange543 said. 3. Removing cooldown devices Fighting someone with better loot is always unfair. Removing cooldown devices will make players equal to each other. I dont really agree with this but to bring back jetpacks? I'd pick this. I got some ideas off other comments
Great video. After taking the time to understand both sides on this I say I don’t agree with the decision but I understand it and I plan to play Farlight 84 going forward. You and many others have done all you can behind the scenes and all we can do is go into this next chapter with an open mind 😊
Im gone for about 2 months max and im about to install the game again... till i saw the reviews... Safe to say they got to reverse their decision or the game might not recover
Here are the ideas I have to improve the game play of player: 1. Add sliding button 2. Display the ranking of enemies who killed you 3. You can jump when using medical kits and shields recharger Please make sure my ideas get to them
The problem for now is that game have only bots now as most of the players left due to this update and to be honest game feels kinda weird with slow movement and bots loaded in... would hope either they increase the movement speed to such a level that it would compensate the jetpack requirement or otherwise the game will be boring for sure.....🙂
Tbh I played F84 since it was on beta and I have uploaded a video of that (dont watch it I was very young) and I think it's understandable and respectable for them to make that kind of sacrifice as long as it can maintain the game's future updates and creativity. I'm all about that future proofing for games. Because I can't play a game where the devs cant guarantee that they will provide high quality updates every season. Yes it was very weird that they dropped the bad news on a whim, but they did gave a clear reason why
Yeah that’s true but unfortunately everyone is giving bad reviews and commenting nasty things on all of their socials about the JetPacks and if that doesn’t stop 🛑 it’s going to harm the game in a major way which is sad honestly 😔 😢
jetpack wasnt broken but the only character i could think of that made it feel so was maggie, the could either nerf the jet pack allowing you to use horizontal thrust once same as vertical doin this would make characters use there jetpacks more strategiclly maybe
I know you’re working hard behind the scenes for all of us 100% Like I said this change can’t be done without a reason and I’m hoping this change won’t be the downfall of Farlight 84. Yeah most of us aren’t happy with it at all but we’ll all just have to wait and find out what the future has for this game. I’m sure too most of us aren’t totally mad about it being removed but we’re mad about the fact that there’s absolutely zero movement mechanic in this game. We need something as jetpacks are being removed, all the best to them tho. You the man Zak, thanks for being honest.
❤
Right before farlight global launch they reduced all car speed by 40%
Then they also made jetpacks 33% slower a month prior to global release my hole clan stopped playing after messing up THE UNIQUE JETPACK
YOU CANT FIND IN OTHER GAMES
I think they should stop working on tactical abilities and focus 100% of resources on Jetpack movement and bug repair.
i guess this is there biggest mistake....😂😂😂 how's farly now after update? its so hard to start ryt??? gud luck on your journey i think im going back to COD and PUBG 👌

Maybe FL games could explain exactly what 'jetpack up' prevents from taking place. Multilayered maps with unusual topgraphies are cool, I admit, but perhaps not cool enough to overly compromise movement; maybe going half way on these ideas would suffice? Does 'jetpack up' prevent new landscapes or vehicles in some way? What exactly does 'jetpack up' prevent I wonder? I am not saying Farlight Games are 100 percent wrong, just saying there likely is a compromise possible.
3)Full remission to full movement capability. It could be that 'jetpack up prevents innovative ideas' is an excuse for 'we are too timid to release a completely wild, new concept on to the market'. This would be the biggest error IMO as the general format of old Farlight84 would have been a big success. I personally found out about farlight by watching it on a random blog about multiplayer games and I chose by look and feel of the game, so Farlight games can trust people's instinct for the new and weird. In theory 3, FL games should just revert to the old style, including the old, more detailed character design.
In theory 3 they should do this ' reverting to old ways' regardless, even if they can't have all the innovations that they want and even if it is memory intesive. 'So what if something very unique guzzles server space?' is a very reasonable and fair mindset. This option is, thus, very valid since you just need to look at the way which the old Farlight was almost like a peice of finished art, for what it was, with no need to tamper with the essence of it. Would you overly tamper with well executed art in the non-gaming world? Gaming videos, all over UA-cam, showing so many players who mastered old FL with never ending creativity. Of course, improvements could be made in matchmaking, maybe even with a 'difficulty' settings, so theat noobs and intermediates are not playing legends all the time.
Jetpack is one and only feature of farlight 84 that attracted me and many players if thats gone I'm leaving
İts still here but not that much
yeah without jetpacks its just generic mobile battle royale shooter 200
I play this game to enjoy to have that freedom of movmeent, now it's gone, well we're ginna have a hard time with that then 😠
Absolutely the same for me
Boy needs a jetpack to be good
I agree with them adding rolling/sliding mechanics for most of the Heroes but the player base already grew up with the Jetpacks since the Alpha/Beta days including me and to see the core mechanic swept away from us players is kinda weird because in the end its gonna be another Normal BR game.The jetpacks is what made Farlight a game thats unique but i respect their decision Will see what happens next when the update comes out tomorrow
Exactly. As I was responding to some d1ck rider attacking anyone criticizing the decision and telling us to just stop crying and quit. FL84 had two major selling points:
1. Unique vehicles
2. Jetpacks
The unique vehicles are unique alright, but are so bad that they feel more like a trap cage for you to be slaughtered inside. They never really worked since the beginning. But they tried to improve them and people can still risk their luck inside vehicles if they want. Now, the jetpacks at least worked. And they are removing them. So, the two major unique features of FL84 that set them apart from other BRs are nothing. Vehicles are still meh, and jetpacks are completely gone. It's just a BR. I already have others. And speaking of uniqueness even Super Mecha Champions is unique in combining Mecha fights and Pilot fights. I already play other BRs which are better than FL84 if you take away these unique features. To ME, at least, there's not much left other than attachment to the game. I will give it a try but I doubt I will stay. As there's not enough time to play everything. And without something to set it apart from others I already play, then I have no reason to.
the thing is they said before they will make some changes in the jetpack then all of a sudden they removed it without any announcements... its like they dnt think about the comunity that will get hurt with that decision... its the trust that have been broken... the trust for a company that they are making it for the sake of the players but no... even almost all of the community reached out to them they just dont listen... its like they dont care at all... trust is a very powerfull thing... they they wake up after this update on what they did to the game...
2:30 I agree... Add sliding for every hero or add Maggie's Tactical roll for Every hero..
I think ut should be rolling as that will make it more distinct than apex.
@@mg_onapexlive2753 This guy is right👍
Sliding sucks. Rather have roll
they removed maggies roll too :/
Just downloaded the game to play for the first time. It was cool but movement feels really slow. That’s the first thing that stuck out to me. Gun fights feel like accuracy battles which is cool but I’m used to codm where you can move around on top of that. I set my hud up for jump shotting though which makes it feel a bit more challenging. Kinda sucks to hear this game used to have jet packs, that seems really cool compared to the current movement. I wanted something apex ish but the movement is too slow to really feel intense gameplay.
Longer cooldown for jetpacks.
Longer cooldown means less jetpack usage more gunplay.
Jetpacks will be only be used at crucial moments wether escaping or chasing.
Not just a tool to walk around the map.
I agree with that statement!
No it's perfecto how it is now
a reduction is a reduction
More gunplay? I've played the new map and it's too long
I am seeing people using jetpacks but I haven't seen the buttons, I've only played twice since update, came in 1st, then 2nd just now, but saw some ppl using jetpack just like old times, I don't understand how to use it lol thinking about deleting the game. only got it to play with my 8 year old son anyway. would love to figure out how to use the jetpack again...thx
We need more transparency between the devs and the community. Why don't we have an actual CM (Community Manager)? Why are they not giving us a glimpse of the roadmap for 2024? It is so sad.
Good video as always bro
Thanks for posting this Lythes! I said pretty much the same thing, but took me several paragraphs, lolol! - They probably do have a Communication Manager, and this should have been one of the times where they were completely open with their Entire Development on changing the Majority of the game! Its crazy they just changed everything and got Major resistance and then just sad "Our bad" and that was it. Hopefully they don't continue to do this, its not what sustains a game long-term.
I hope they know this transition is at the worst time. A lot of mobile players are playing because apex mobile left a hole. Farlight filled it. People love the game now and they are completely changing it when major mobile br’s are coming out early this year.
@@cameroncrider6970 f 84 about to bethe new apex and at the end of the year they will surely be shutdown or be a dead game
thanks but no man. the Jetpacks worked all along. the jetpacks themselves were the selling point of the Battle Royal, with or without abilities. But i hear you, but still. Im just so heartbroken man
This is happening way too fast,, I can't believe this year I'll stop playing Farlight. 😢
yeah me too bro i think the farlight beat version is quiet better than the new updated version the lobby very single aspect sucks iin the new update
Farlight84 will never be the same for me..but I'll give it a go and see how this goes
"We all noticed this feature wasn't present in any other Battle Royale shooter". You said it right there, jetpacks made the game unique. This mechanic is what kept me playing as a new player, to me the most novel and interesting part of the game. An hour or so into 2.0 and it's feeling quite sterile and more of a typical 'by the numbers' BR game. I'll try to give it some more time, but my initial reaction is this is a major loss...
Well said!! Same thoughts exaclty.
I knew they were still experimenting when they changed Maggie's tactical skill to rolling
As a game vet, me & my kids are not really a fan of battle royale type of games until Farlight 84 came. One of the unique feature that sets it apart is more freedom of movement!!! If they won't restore that mechanic, that will be its DOWNFALL!!!
❤️🙌
I was playing the game and never noticed the update...till I got into the game and was like wtf i cant fly no more and here I am looking up a vid about why they removed it
Bro...literally I just did the exact same thing 🤣🤣🤣
Been playing since release, invited tons of people, bought lots of things every patch and this is the thanks i get? It will take divine intervention for me to come back to this game
With the removal of jetpack, they should add a sliding, roll or dash mechanism with jetpack animation so that we will still be like using jetpack. Also, it is crucial now that they add that we can cancel reload if there are any remaining magazines just like in call of duty mobile, pubg mobile and apex legends mobile so that we won't be at a disadvantage if we are reloading then suddenly we are being shot or attacked unlike before we have jetpacks to escape.
Well fair point, but they have to add some kind of mobility thing like you mentioned and it's gotta be slide but for EVERYONE. But ngl, jetpacks were the coolest thing I've ever seen in a BR so seeing it gone saddens me. But whatever, hopefully things go well
After playing this game for so long, This update just fucked it up.
Sorry 😭
let's be honest, nobody wants movement and ability changes, nobody complained and the game is at its peak, why does it need to progress into something nobody wants ? makes no sense to me but yeah im quitting either way
If you’re going to remove jet packs you gotta add slides or some sort of movement. People got used to them and every successful BR has movement unless it’s Fortnite that has building for the simple fact that when you are in the open you don’t want to just instantly die.
With no movement technique in a BR you will get punished pretty bad and it will be unfun to die like that
Without jetpack farlight 84 is not farlight 84 anymore.
I'm the only player left in our clan! During new updates I encourage my friends to play but the only thing they ask is that "are the jetpacks back online?". I said no then still no one plays... They are still hoping that the jetpacks would be back! I missed the late nights we played even there was a strong earthquake about magnitude 7.4 we still playing on coms we were surrounded and my friend shouted Mama and herd him running outside on his room, and also one my friend shouted don't be scared hold on we are surrounded, and my wife ran close to me she was scared hahaha and I didn't budge a bit and our neighbor shouted it was scary... I am the only one who still plays until the power went off holding the high ground it was 3 squads left. I really missed those days🥲
Farlight 84 has the most unique gameplay that set it apart of all Battle royal games cause I started playing the game because of the jetpacks
ya
I think the reason they are removing them is because they want the game to be a huge e-sports title, perhaps the devs seem to think that for proper e-sports balance they cannot have jetpacks. That's my theory anyway!
Essentially longer term it doesn't matter though, there are so many games that we can move to. None of them have Farlight 84 like movement, but Farlight 84's big selling point was the jetpacks, without these we can look at a game overall and play something that's more polished, less buggy, and has more players.
Games come and go and Farlight 84 shone brightly for a while. We'll not forget the jetpacks and perhaps some other dev will fill the void and do a game that's like Farlight 84. Till then, there are so many good games to enjoy.
Exactly. As I was responding to some d1ck rider who was attacking anyone criticizing the decision and telling us to just stop crying and quit. FL84 had two major selling points:
1. Unique vehicles
2. Jetpacks
The unique vehicles are unique alright, but the controls are so bad that they feel more like a trap cage for you to be slaughtered inside. They never really worked since the beginning. But they tried to improve them and people can still risk their luck inside vehicles if they want. Now, the jetpacks at least worked. And they are removing them. So, the two major unique features of FL84 that set them apart from other BRs are either janky or gone. Vehicles are still meh, and jetpacks are completely out. It's just another BR now. I already have others. And speaking of uniqueness even Super Mecha Champions is more unique in combining Mecha fights and Pilot fights. I already play other BRs which are better than FL84 if you take away these unique features. To ME, at least, there's not much left other than attachment to the game. I will give it a try but I doubt I will stay. As there's not enough time to play everything. And without something to set it apart from others I already play, then I have no reason to.
@@NeoZeta3. Graphics and art style
4. Pretty good optimization especially for low end devices
@@edvydevalon8684 I said to ME. So as to 4.: my device is not low-end (plus, there are other games with good optimization). Also, for the first time, I experienced some stuttering recently, which I was surprised. Granted, it was a very chaotic skirmish with lots of people jetpacking around, vehicles, explosions, etc.
Regarding 3.: graphics and artstyle of FL84 are not very unique. Characters, abilities, setting, etc. do they have their own flavor. Even without the jetpacks. But truthfully, only attachment to the game itself can make it work. But it's a very thin thread, in my opinion. Especially for who was already here since the beginning. People just starting et al will not mind these, doesn't really matter to them. It's just a new BR to try on. But remember that people move from BR to BR pretty quickly. Especially when they all look so similar.
I used to play Farlight 84 everyday since June 2023. Those days are gone, Farlight is dying.
From almost 30k players active to 3k active players. For me the only thing that made quit farlight is the sudden disappearance of jetpacks and without any announcements to the whole farlight 84 community.😢 😢
Sad 😔
The game needs to revolve around jetpack, even though it's very hard and challenging to do, jetpack makes all the different, it's the core of the game, you don't remove the core of something great, instead you need to support it
Just switched from pubgm a week ago because of how cool jet packs were, I guess I'm back to pubgm. This game needed more exposure and marketing, I never heard of the game untill I saw a random content creater casually playing it.
I already quit the game😢.. And why am I watching the video? Because I love your videos And old farlight 💔
ily ♥
Good 👍🏻
I highly doubt that jetpacks can strain servers. The direction vector has limited possibilities and it's that, a vector, the servers don't need to calculate the position every single milisecond, just needs to make sure the client return a position consistent with the direction vector at the start of the jetpack flight
That us exactly what I was gonna say....
NAH! 😂😂😂
The only reason i played the game is because of jetpacks . Fortunately for me i found a way to play high energy heroes 😅
How bro ? I need to leave this game soon
Can 2gb ram play high energy heroes
0:55 I see what you did there
Removing them helps with balancing? They can’t balance heroes at all. They just gave a hero the ability to wipe a squad in a building without a gun…….
If they took the jetpacks and gave us some evade or something like Maggie's tactical roll It wudda been cool. Feel like a sitting duck most of the time with this update
I used to be a paying customer of Fairlight 84 - not anymore. It is truly difficult for me to fathom how anybody can screw up a good game with one update.
Nah bro it wasn't just one update it was a series of update which reached the breaking point at may 30th update ,at least for me
Like because of this recent update I can't even play the game again it just shows a black screen after the Lilith and unreal engine splash screen
The removal of jetpacks actually created more imbalance to the game. If you get caught in open, it's done, no way to evade faster or get cover, now everyone literally just wait in corners and camps, it gets too boring now to play, it basically has no movement mechanic to the game.
agree
I started playing the game since its beta release. The jetpacks were very useful and a life saver whenever you found yourself in a sticky situation, so I understand why people are mad. In my opinion, the player base needs to either get good or just quit. I'm kind of fed up with all the complaints and hate towards the game recently.
Just came from playing thr new update.1 without jetpacks the game is boring.2.now it looks like anyother shooter game😢.i actually left pubg for farlight and now it feels the same😢
They’ll definitely be losing my super VIP. I do not understand why these gaming companies mess with the movement of the games. They profit the most when there is movement incorporated, more people want to play. Well, it was nice while it lasted
Did i heard it right?? “Jetpacks puts a strain on servers?” Most online games are downloaded on the device and the communication with servers are done thru packets right? Can you please shed some light on what you said? Coz i think the processing or handling of graphics related stuff will be on smartphone or pc..
played this game because of solely unique gameplay experience that it offers from the BR market where no other BR games have it the 'Jetpacks' killing this core gameplay mechanic (you said it yourself that it was in the alpha and beta the jetpacks) I think removing jetpacks will make this game generic to what other games BR hero that other BR mobile games will offer. If that's the case I rather play apex then. The only thing different from these two games now is that you have one more active skill in F84 and it's a 3rd person shooter. Now if I don't want hero type BR game and want BR 3rd person shooter then I will play fornite non building mode since it has collabs with no jetpack mechanic only sliding and has bigger player base easily.
I'm PC only player
The devs are stupid for making this decision. #StickWithJetpacks!
I myself don't play the game , but I don't understand the fact why they remove a feature that is the reason for players to play and enjoy the game , to add new features, like if players are already satisfied with what is there, why wanna remove it for something else that players don't opt in to
Jetpack was one of the thing that makes me to choose far light 84 among other battle royale so removing jetpack will have bad effect on far light 84 and also it will make other battle royale game contender to win when competing with far light 84 because jetpack is the best movement in far light 84 so I don't see the reason for removing jetpacks in far light 84 thank you.
fun fact, now theres a rumor that Call of Duty is gonna implement Jetpacks
Yeah i saw that haha lets goooo
Maggie is the only character that has the jetpack skills
More feature = More bug and imbalance
So true I can see that too.
@@iamSJCool they gave superpowers to some heros in v2. ( beau,captain,duckside) mentioned
@@nasrinsarkar1 yep 😅
They have already created lot of imbalance with this update by removing Jetpacks and Overpowered character changes
@@SPECTREmVp.6936💯
I hate this idea, and as a relatively new player, I wont hesitate to drop this game if I dont like the result. I feel for those that have really invested their time and/or money into this game.
This is a case of developers saying "we know what you want better than you do" which is almost never true. It doesn't feel good to see a game you like make dramatic changes that nobody asked for, which has rarely been successfully done in the past. Let's hope they're right about this one.
You may ask why there were no jetpacks or similar mechanics in other battle royales? And the answer is simple. Because there was a Pubg. The whole basis of battle royal games came from the fact that it is primarily a survival game. And only then the shooter game. In the classic battle royale, the most important thing is to survive.
But time is changing and battle royal has already firmly entered the minds of most people as a shooter. And the jetpacks came from arena shooters. Which are characterized by high-speed, aggressive gameplay. But it so happened that arena shooters are traditionally FPS shooters. And now Valarant and Rainbow six siege will come out. And the developers apparently decided to bet on battle royal. That's why the jetpack was removed to better match the battle royale genre.
If Every hero had jetpacks how could it be unbalanced. Instead it is very unbalanced now, making some heroes way more mobile than others, and others being sitting duck and boring
yup agree but its also not the complete picture unfortunately most of the other hero abilities and the new hero plus the mech boss all were scheduled to come in this update have been delayed so people cant even experience the full new chapter 2
So you're actually saying that the devs are not up to the task in accomplishing what other BR games couldn't accomplish? I mean Farlight 84 tried and started this jetpack mechanic why not maintain it that way...everybody knows that is what set Farlight 84 aside from other BR games. I say/suggest that they should bring that jetpack mechanic because it is what hooked their players in the first place aand develop the game in that way and just think of other ways of balancing the game, I know that their are always a way to fix/balance things.
It's over.
If they want to make gunplay more realistic then they should increase theCD of the jetpacks, after increasing CD players can't use it evey time and just use in a crucial moments.
Yup
Eversince Farlight's removal of Jetpacks, some of classmates said Farlight is already dead
I hope the game will not render as soon as I land to the ground in Battle Royale mode, it happen like so often now and had to wait for at least 30s for me to get the weapons and others
To me they should give every hero Sliding movement mechanism but not to Maggie
Maggie doesn't have roll anymore tho so what would they give her? They nerfed her jetpacks this season also as we know
Just ad anti-gravity boots for a certain time limit when you pick him up
of all the things they could remove they chose the one thing that made farlight different from the others? now it’s just like any other battle royale game. not to mention, without jetpacks, there is literally no movement in this game. the moment you’re out in the open you are dead. such a shame.
I think they're putting it back, they received a massive backlash from playstore never seen a 2 star review with more than 1500 likes compalining about jetpack removal and it caught their attention and that's good
I started playing when there were 2 hikes of jetpack , when there was currency system to buy from shop , when you had to collect 1UP manually , when there was no health and shield upgrade, when the main map was the grassland. A lot has changed. Back then my main used to be Phantom now its Ceanna.
So far with all the latest changes to farlight, like the added gun recoil to get a more realistic gunfeel has me not very excited for 2024, guns like the ak feel ruined and only now benefit cheaters who dont have recoil, thx to farlight as an apex player, i havent even tried the finals yet, farlight has been fun on pc and i was able to bring in 7 friends, the vehicles have been anoying and the strong aim assist, but the relaxed or lack of sbmm has kept us playing together, im a 5.88 kd apex solo queue player, its impossible to play apex with my friends, they get shredded and warzone gets me shadowbanned in just 1 or 2 hours of playtime, im sure as they are chasing to become apex we will see things like strict sbmm soon aswell, lack of movement, recoil and cheaters and feature rich one shot vehicle bs and things noone asked for like the mech, what we wont see is what a lot of people do want, like unified movement for all heroes, the kit maggie has/had should have been standard movement for all heroes and then you build from there, sadly the way noone knows this games excisted is the reason it lacks players, i spend an evening refreshing my queue on steam one night until i eventually was shown this gem of a game, its really a shame and i never heard of this game before finding it and i am on top of every major fps game release, even eve onlines vanguard alpha test tommorow that only hardcore eve players know about, their game was fine, their marketing wasnt, fix the marketing and the game would have been great as is, now its going to be fortnite no build without the fortnite marketing
Thanks for the video Zak and rn i will give a chance Farlight 84 chapter 2 and without jetpacks and let's find out tomorrow update
Sounds good!
I am also curious to explore players without the usage of jetpacks overall.
Now it's all about who has sniper with 4x. You run run run find sniper with 4x and that is the game. Also you shoot 4 clips to kill a guy with porcupine and after he respawns with full shields on you and kills you while you heal.
Zak here's what I'm thinking could the devs add campaign mode so that way each character has it's own campaign story and it's own story line
Honestly I really like this idea 💡 will forward it
@ZakWylderMobile ok and see if the devs could add some background history of the character so that way the player knows where they came from
As a Sunil main this removing jet pack doesn’t have and side effects on me
Bro joined this game when Sunset city map came back
can you fix the Coming Soon! bug whenever I try to put a custom avatar
Thank u for this video I just got farlight n I love it Soo much but am scared because people are leaving this game but through this video I hope will stay in this game
Tbh only reason I start playing this game was the unique movements and without that Farlight is just an another battle royale. What we really see is they literally tried copy everything from Apex lol. There are better games if we want to experience slow and strategic gameplay with better graphics and optimizations. Wzm, Rainbow 6 mobile, valorant mobile will also release soon and it’s doubtful Farlight even stand a chance specially high level heroes will also released very soon. Not interested in a game whose developers don’t give a fk about what community says anyways
I want to believe that tomorrow they will have a surprise that no one knows, some new functionality that they didn't activate in the beta test server , and that you don't know either because otherwise the game will be affected.
They probably did this to accomodate less buttons too for controller players and the removal of jetpacks makes the game slow enough for console players to handle fights. i am speculating that they might be doing it for console release.
If they only make the process of removing jetpack slowly the players probably will not be enraged so much but they did it in one swoop instantly breaking the trust players have to the devs also they been making less popular changes in these past updates like character redesign and voice changes.
nah man, you've done what you can and im proud to be one of your followers. i know you did what you could. Thanks Zack.
welcome bud always
Get a Bar.95, and a 4x+ sight and you are good to go, no counter play, for short range get a defender and they wont be able to dodge since the jet packs are gone
Reinstalled the game after a few months only to realize that jetpacks have been removed...might as well play Apex now since the unique aspect of Farlight is gone
"having such a high mobility feature hinders growth and creativity of most abilities" NAH man, they just f*cked up something backend and can't fix it because of deadlines, orrr they're having a hard time balancing and they just want the easiest way out. They should've conducted a survey or made a test server for this kind of drastic change. Oh and the jetpack IS a CORE MECHANIC of this game so the should've just find a way to balance it instead of removing it.
I used to play pubg mobile and left it because of slow paced gameplay , i got bored of it. I instantly switched to fairlight 84 because of the faced paced gameplay but now unfortunately we will have slower paced gameplay.guess i need to go back to pubg mobile or wait for high energy heroes
Jetpack is the identity of FARLIGHT without it its not farlight anymore
I came back and without the jetpack im kinda lost... I don't know if I'll keep playing again :-( 1 match no jetpack... ugh
W video broski I'm gonna give 2.0 a chance and play this season .. but i can't promise I will stay.. the main reason I downloaded this game was because of the jetpacks.. also because it was well optimized.. nowadays it feels as if farlight is trying to fall into pocket.. basically be like every1 else.. they not keeping their unique aspect.. if that's the case I might as well go back to codm.. where there is a wider verity of vehicles.. and an even wider verity of weapons With custom loadouts... Again this is just my opinion..
I'm in the same boat, I can't promise that I will stay. It is unlikely, I'll play 2.0 but if I don't click with it pretty quick I'll be concentrating on Fortnite exclusively and perhaps trying something new.
I honestly think the fall/rise of Farlight84 is solely dependent on its content creators. All I see is all creators with massive influence crying about the new adjustment, wining like a child instead of giving a wider perspective, not knowing they have a great impact on the game and the community. Everything is not meant to be perfect, things are bound to change. So, as a dedicated farlight84 player, I would urge the creators as well as the community to embrace the new system instead of wining and crying like a baby.
The majority of them are young and, admittedly, their perspectives can be somewhat limited. However, I'm dedicated to guiding them and broadening their horizons to various viewpoints. I fully comprehend the frustration some may feel, but there are effective ways to communicate our message and reassure the community.
@@ZakWylderMobile Agree. Like let's go with flow for now, is what I meant.
Dude everyone have their opinion and we have many games we can move to if we just want a shooter br
If I don't like the change , I don't like it.
I will leave this game and so should all creators who don't like this game
Speak for your self your telling people to embrace a change they don’t want
@@AbhayRajKarunleave if you want to. Nobody is holding you back
No jetpack no farlight...the developers should know that
this is the biggest mistake they did.... so my question is how's farlyt 84 now after update? 😂😂😂😂
The reason i play the game is because of it Unique jetpack, now I'm might as well just go play every other Battle Royal game with similar abilities that offers more.
they still wondering what farlight gonna be in the future, but they step into the wrong direction, i just hoping they cancel the skill change update, keep the jetpacks, and give the new skill to other new character in the future, if they want to add balance in game, maybe add more movement, and increase the jetpack cooldown, not delete the jetpacks, that's the dumbest decision i ever see in the history of game, deleting the thing that your game known about.
Great vid zak💛
understand why they are removing jetpacks.
But here's a few ideas to replace/bring them back:
1. Sliding/rolling 2:30
I think this will be a good replacement for jetpacks since its the same as a dash just watered down. You can activate the sliding by double tapping the crouch button just like in othet games.
2: Longer Cooldown
Making jetpacks cool down slower will make it more balanced since jetpacks are only used in fighting, escaping or chasing. Less jetpacks means more gunplay. like what @agentorange543 said.
3. Removing cooldown devices
Fighting someone with better loot is always unfair. Removing cooldown devices will make players equal to each other. I dont really agree with this but to bring back jetpacks? I'd pick this.
I got some ideas off other comments
No. 3 is a truest idea for removing these cooldown devices unless the removal of overall jetpacks, excluding Maggie.
Great video. After taking the time to understand both sides on this I say I don’t agree with the decision but I understand it and I plan to play Farlight 84 going forward. You and many others have done all you can behind the scenes and all we can do is go into this next chapter with an open mind 😊
Yessir
Without jetpack the fight engagement become more competitive
That's the key I think it's not bad at all😂😂
i hope they bring it back bc it’s what helps them stand out, against the other BR’s 😔
Excellent explanation bro... I'm still gonna keep playing the game 💯🤩
Im gone for about 2 months max and im about to install the game again... till i saw the reviews...
Safe to say they got to reverse their decision or the game might not recover
Here are the ideas I have to improve the game play of player:
1. Add sliding button
2. Display the ranking of enemies who killed you
3. You can jump when using medical kits and shields recharger
Please make sure my ideas get to them
As a casual player, i always hated jetpacks imo it's a sweaty game mechanic i do think the devs are trying to make the game more beginner friendly
The problem for now is that game have only bots now as most of the players left due to this update and to be honest game feels kinda weird with slow movement and bots loaded in... would hope either they increase the movement speed to such a level that it would compensate the jetpack requirement or otherwise the game will be boring for sure.....🙂
Idk why but ig keeping the jetpack for maggie is a good decision but they should give a brandnew movement to all the other heroes
Tbh I played F84 since it was on beta and I have uploaded a video of that (dont watch it I was very young) and I think it's understandable and respectable for them to make that kind of sacrifice as long as it can maintain the game's future updates and creativity. I'm all about that future proofing for games. Because I can't play a game where the devs cant guarantee that they will provide high quality updates every season. Yes it was very weird that they dropped the bad news on a whim, but they did gave a clear reason why
Yeah that’s true but unfortunately everyone is giving bad reviews and commenting nasty things on all of their socials about the JetPacks and if that doesn’t stop 🛑 it’s going to harm the game in a major way which is sad honestly 😔 😢
The new update has so many bugs. 😮I've been playing for a while now. The fact that the jetpack is gone makes me angry. 😅😮
Im excited to play this new update. But the removing of jet packs are big no no.
jetpack wasnt broken but the only character i could think of that made it feel so was maggie, the could either nerf the jet pack allowing you to use horizontal thrust once same as vertical doin this would make characters use there jetpacks more strategiclly maybe
when they take away momoi's grenade i knew smth is wrong with the devs
Tried the beta, not bad at all. They should've just nerfed jetpacks, though. Even if I'm quitting Farlight, still got your back, Zak❤️
Thnx broski
Is this game still in beta?? Ffs they keep changing hero abilities in every update. And now this, unacceptable.
