Fall Guys event feedback

[NekoMataMata]

What sucks is even if they put the 30m penalty on it, the people who abused the system early are rewarded for it and get a rarer "prestigious" title

Yeah I agree with this. It's too late to act now. Forcing instances was never the issue anyways. It sucks that you have to wait around because there's enough people to start games immediately but a bunch of people are going to try to force the solo instance, but that's just how it is.

With how rampant the cheating is people need a reprieve.

Watching the entire of the event occur has been soul draining. SE could've done a lot to really prevent this from ever being an issue, but the community itself also disappoints. The FFXIV community is always praised for being amazing but there were people all over posting pics of them cheating. Someone posted an entire gif of them winning with their name visible with the cheats showing in one of my discords and the only responses were people admitting they do it too. In what world should someone who plays fairly feel like they uncomfortable about calling out someone who is obviously cheating in plain sight?

I was really hoping that at the least we'd get a statement from Yoshi P on this. It might be a slap on the wrist, but it'd be something. To me the silence is basically encouraging this to go on and get worse.

The chances that I'll ever win it are extremely slim, but my husband and I have had fun getting all the prizes and it's a really easy way of stocking up on those dyes. I'm not sure how much use the pink jogging suit will get, but sometimes I think that about an outfit at first and it grows on me.

[VictorSpoils]

Yes. It means you're more likely to qualify so the rewards are less.

Got a solo instance and winning the first round gave 86 MGF instead of 100. Expected a lot lower than that really.

I just did the event on my oceanic twinks... its hard, like REALLY hard but on one of em i actually ended up solo and won lol
Still that lag is insane...

outfit is ugly id pass

Reward was cute, I enjoyed the event kind of. But I didn't really care for the aoes hitting me after I already passed them. Just goes to show they really should try to make some improvements to the way the game handles those sorts of things again.

Between this and pvp it feels like the netcode is the biggest issue in the game for me.

2 weeks later, the Blunderville experience in a nutshell

I think my biggest criticism is that, if I want to play fallguys, I'd rather just play fallguys... the game is free to play and doesn't suffer from FFXIV's netcode issues and server tick setup. I like the idea, and I don't think it's a bad game or anything, but I can't help but feel like the devs are a little bit tone deaf to the built-in lag of this game. Minigames like fallguys puts FFXIV's flaws on full display. It's like those Endwalker cutscenes where the camera pans over the absolutely horrible-looking food. It's not a problem that the game's graphics system can't really display good looking food, and you can use relatively rough-looking props to fill a scene as needed, but you'd ideally want to avoid making those basic models with awful textures the focal point of any scene, not place them front and center. The same is true for the game's systems.

They should be working toward events and minigames that don't suffer from permanent lag, rather than competitive PVP minigames that are supposed to depend on snappy moment-to-moment decisions. It's why no one plays Chocobo Racing. A built-in Mario Kart minigame sounds like it could be fantastic, but not when everyone is dealing with permalag. We have Triple Triad which I do like, even if it suffers from having no really convenient way to just casually play without running out of decks to play with almost immediately, but something like a Hearthstone-esque minigame or crossover, or something like Genshin's Genius Invokation would make a lot more sense since you aren't trying to play a game of movement skills and timing with a laggy system. Not asking for that specifically, just using it as an example. I want to like the fallguys event more, but it really can't hope to outshine the original at its own game. In hindsight, an Among Us crossover probably could've been a lot more effective, because the focus is on discussion and deduction.

I’m not going to lie, I am enjoying doing the event even with the annoying late strikes I take. I’m currently running it with all my Alts just to get all the junk from the vendor. After earning 4800 bean tokens or whatever it is, I get my stuff and move on. I average at least 2 wins every go with a character. I run about 14 runs so that means I win every 7 games. That’s fine. I can’t win them all. I’m not looking for that lame title.




One thing I do want to ask, are the Japanese forum tripping out like we are? Is there anything on their forum? If not, maybe someone who speaks Japanese should post something on their forum.

Definitely been having fun slurping up all of the "nEtCoDe" and "someone else did something I can't; they must have cheated" tears.

Worth noting that in all of the matches I played for the title, I never once came across anyone who I suspected of cheating (by this, I mean performing feats that should be outright impossible, like levitating to the crown or running faster than normal or something). Not saying it never happens, certainly, but I really don't think it's as commonplace as being made out to be. If you ever do come across someone doing that, I'd just make a note of who it is and drop out of the lobby if you see them in it. The people who are brazen enough to do this probably aren't bothering to reenter to fish for solo lobbies, so it's unlikely they will continuously follow you to the next lobby.
