  • We've been given some crazy data behind the adjustments to the cashout mode, and I break down what this means for the players in Season 4 & us being one step closer to "Competitive 1.0"
    I hope you enjoyed this video! I'm super drained doing a tonne of stuff off-stream, so I'll be looking to get back into the flow as we head into Season 4, thanks for being patient!

    They did nothing but promote third partying with only 10% wipe penalty and increased cash on kill. The 70m spawn points for full team to contest a cashout is cherry on top for third partying.

    • @luisacuna4326
      @luisacuna4326 4 місяці тому +2

      Reduced wipe penalty pushes players to steal instead of wiping to secure wins, and the cash on kill is barely 500 a kill, which is 1500 per team. That's 20 kills just to match the smallest deposit.
      Data speaks for itself, and it shows that players who deposit first get their cashout far more than before. This is proof that the changes are working and third parties are becoming less damaging and viable a strategy.

      Less penalty doesnt push players to steal, that makes no sense because in 3v3 youre either able to steal or not, it pushes people to contest as a third party because even if they wipe, they get some kills which pays for the penalty with the potential of stealing in the deck, speaking of cash on kill dont forget defibs feed 500 aswell, you can rack up 20 kills in a round thats 10k which makes huge difference.

    This is the first article/update that I really feel like they're trying to make an effort for the competitive folks like me which is great to see . I've always said this game is difficult for casual players to pick up but not balanced enough from competitive folks like me to play it over their other shooter games like apex/val/cs etc, so I feel like its in this weird in between
    I personally want to see more cash incentive for holding a cashout almost like a hardpoint. I'd also love to see them try locking ranked into role queues and only having H-M-L on each team. I think the second you allow 2 of the same class on the same team it becomes a balancing nightmare.

    On the topic of "smart/fairer" spawns, yesterday I got third partied and spawned on the opposite side of the map while i STILL had the cashout! We had to run back 150m to our cashout and the 2 teams were still fighting. In this scenario, the spawn actually just made everything worse for us. I think teams with active cashouts that they deposited should be spawned at the midpoint between both active cashouts, giving them a choice of where to go, because spawning them for the opposite cashout in situations like mine is actually the opposite of smart or fair, because it can make the difference. If those teams had finished fighting 5 seconds sooner, our 150m run would have cost us our own cashout that we deposited

    I always thought the team wipe penalty being lowered was done to deal with the kind of tdm situations that often happen, where two teams get stuck with neither actually managing to get a full team wipe. I don't think it really helped with that specific issue in the end, but it was mentioned as one of the reasons for the changes during the first trial update although they never said which changed were meant for which issues.

      light is incredibly good for objective if you play it smart, play around and support your team. sadly a lot of people dont play light correctly, but if you focus on flanking enemies and staying around (not directly with) your team it can be really helpful because the enemies will have to focus on you And your teammates.
      Due to stuff like cloak and movement a good light is also a really good defender in the right circumstances, i main light and i often end up with the highest objective score by far. I've definitely seen some people play like that yeah and it kinda sucks.

      I've played since BETA and this has always been a thing. I highly doubt it's increasing factually. Most folks whom play the finals are super casual or don't know how to play well. I'm somewhere between slightly above average and above average, I'm not cracked at the game nor do I care to be at this point. I play objective, I revive, I will forgoe kills to revive, I will sneak away to revive, I will set up and wait for backup, I will back up teammates who seem to wander off path a bit to bring them back by assisting them with some kills, I will body block cash stealing mates (won a couple games like this), I will stall enemy teams to get the cash out, I will open new angles of attack that are uncommon, I rarely chase enemies beyond certain distances, I'll antagonize enemies to get them to waste time, I practice a little to aim for upper head and chest shots. It's just healthy habits to learn and repeat.
      One thing that irks me is light snipers who are average or below at sniping. They can't play close so they are way back somewhere doing F all instead of assisting with cashouts. My main is medium and I can still go off with Sniper sometimes. 12-15 kills and still play objectively. The Finals isn't a hard game to get.

    I don’t want the scoreboard to change. Like you said, you just wipe and fly around to see who to third-party. I use the scoreboard to check who's still alive when fighting a team, and not having that information at a critical moment is frustrating. Imagine trying to deal with a 3v3 scenario (the simpler one), and you’re the last one standing. Your teammates tell you they each got a kill, so I could either: a) Revive the teammate in front of me in a corner, or b) Chase the last enemy.
    But now, I don’t have enough info to make the right decision. I wouldn’t go for option (a) if I knew there was only one enemy left and injured, but if I saw they managed a revive, I may just go for option (a), you get what I mean?. It’s just really annoying. I hope they don’t push that change. There are a lot of things I’ve seen in the preview that I didn’t like, AT ALL..., but I’m trying to believe in Embark and hope for the best for the game. Good video man. PS. I need 3 WT wins tonight for EM1 😅 wish me luck!! I've just lost like 12 finals since last Sunday.

    4:51 so it’s we are knowingly making the game more predictable. I don’t like it. But if they do this they need to make light have and mediums kill faster. Make everything better, they have ruined most of my favorite builds (was heavy main). Specifically from a heavy mains POV it seems like all the fun is getting taken out.

    The finals will never be good until they address the clear issues with the classes. You shouldn’t be able to stack specializations. No double medium heal for example. My friends and I played since release but we stopped having fun cause every game is just filled with mediums heal guns and turrets and 1 or 2 light snipers. Seems like every new update has shown clear bias against heavies even though medium has been the best class in the game but receives no nerfs.

    Third party fights are a cornerstone of multiple team shooters. It is fundamental to the gameplay.
    Nobody forced anyone to take every single fight lol. Part of the fundamental gameplay to games like this is hiding/stealth. Get good.

    • @THiiXY
      @THiiXY  3 місяці тому

      100% that can be an angle for looking at it too, but when we add objectives into the mix with a focus on defence, having to fight against third parties can be pretty challenging - for example if a team burns out their resources fighting defence and just "hides" should they stay hidden if their objective is being stolen in the latter parts of defence?
      Especially if it keeps constantly happening to X team whilst Y team gets a free cashout, extend that out to an esport scenario, the team that gets free cashouts due to spawns, timing and staggering doesn't really mean they are "better" than the teams playing defence. That's risky territory of course to assume that, hence why a lot of top players prefer 3v3.
      Overall though in ranked, you're right to some degree, who cares, get good and sure that can be an idea needed to be pushed too, again though there's limitations.

      @@THiiXY I think what matters more is if the game is fun to play and watch, and the chaos is a huge appeal to this game.
      I think a much more massive problem is stuff like triple medium and all the same weapons and abilities. That's boring for players and spectators alike and will kill a comp scene quick. Look at TF2; dedicated but very small scene because an incredibly inflexible meta that existed for years. It never took off like other games because it was too boring and repetitive. That's a way bigger issue for the game imo. Like this game has these beautifully destructable environments and what is seen at highest levels the most? DMRs, the model and healing. Stale and boring.
      Buff the MGL imo. That will make the game way better.
