    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.

      Then they also made jetpacks 33% slower a month prior to global release my hole clan stopped playing after messing up THE UNIQUE JETPACK

      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

    • @NeoZeta
      @NeoZeta 11 місяців тому

      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.

    "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...

    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.

    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

  • @cunawarit
    @cunawarit 11 місяців тому +6

    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.

    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 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.

  • @julia_fitz

    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.

    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.

    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

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 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.

    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
