Since you've won the Game Awards best community thingamajig, I hope you listen to your community when we say that, the in-game timer MUST reflect the actual end-of-season and beginning-of-new-season. We don't want some boilerplate wishy-washy response. And we don't want gaps between seasons.
I hear you :).
Speaking of FM Crown Grab Bug, I have two pending requests (254005, 254092) for FM bugs where I lost the chance to win two crowns. Can you poke the assigned CS personnel about the status of my requests? Thanks!
I have nudged :)!
Looking into rebalancing the store weightings for Season 3 launch today! We balance the store by 'item type' but it looks like this results in categories with less options (like emotes) feeling much too repetitive as the weighting is spread across far fewer items.
It does feel like we should add an 'cooldown' to items too. Sucks to get the same thing you don't want twice in a row.
Hey! Just to make sure you guys are aware,
Your in-game timer currently says that Season 2 ends in 18hrs (as of me typing this message).
This is not the case now! Instead, double XP will kick in until Season 3 starts.
The timer will change to reflect the actual date once the current countdown has elapsed and the Game Awards have screened.
Have I missed the date for Season 3 / When is Season 3?
You have not missed it! We haven't said yet.
You can watch the Game Awards today to get the first-look at the Season 3 date, or check our socials (or this subreddit) shortly thereafter for the confirmed date. Your timer in-game should also change to accurately reflect the new season.
External link →I imagine royal fumble has been fixed for a while now. Could I get some insight on why you guys prefer waiting for the season and mid-season patches to push fixes live instead of doing so as soon as possible?
I don't know that myself or the technicalities behind it! I can ask the team though but as it's nearly EOD here it's probably not something I can answer immediately (but I've saved this for if/when I can!)
I've only been playing since the beginning of season 2. There is no way I've managed to buy everything up. Not even close!!! I see tons of little beans wearing stuff I want!!!
Then this really shouldn't be happening. Our CS team can look into this for you!
They are SUPER FAST and also really good at helping with shop/item related queries. Could you drop them a note here: http://support.fallguys.com/?
You know things are bad when you get a response like this from a staff member!
Side note, I've been seeing way more communication from y'all since the season 3 timer fiasco, which is honestly great! Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to season 3!
Thank you! I'm trying my best to keep up and appreciate that you've noticed :>
I have only been at Mediatonic for a month and a half, so I won't know or have seen everything yet, but this certainly looks wrong to me unless /u/haydany has purchased almost everything - if not everything - else. Let me know when you can, hay!
Then why is fall mountain still having a high appearance rate when the crown bug is present among other issues?
Good question, but a couple of reasons. The FM Crown Grab bug isn't present for many, many players, there are a few issues at play when players see their failed grab depending on what caused it to appear failed. This is quite a clear-cut issue - there's an invisible platform for 100% of players.
That isn't to say that both issues aren't acknowledged and treated as urgent, just why our approach to their removal or lack thereof is different.
Wait what - are you missing a lot of items that aren't showing up there?! I've not seen someone literally JUST get nameplates before.
It has a more restrictive number needed for it to come up than other finals (2-6 people), and we've reduced the frequency, so the compounding effect makes it ultra-more-rare. There are still other finals that could be picked if you have 2-6 people other than Royal Fumble so those are often chosen instead as it has a low likelihood of being rolled.
The reason we've reduced the frequency in general is because there's an exploit in that level which causes issues, and we haven't pushed the fix live yet, but are going to do so with S3 launch.
So this means I have more than a day to get to level 40? Yay!
You do!
Basically, we've given out mixed comms on this, and the in-game timer saying the season ends today is incorrect, as we've now decided to extend the S2 famepath until S3 (VERY CLOSE TO TELLING YOU ALL WHEN THAT IS), so it's caused confusion!! Sorry :<
Team games (or rather, the fact that I have to depend on other people to qualify) are the reason I avoid the main show, but this morning I just couldn't find a Big Yeetus Tour match, so I jumped into a main show where I got Fall Ball, which reminded me why I avoid it.
I will try to stick to defense next time I get it, though. Thank you for the advice.
It gets really difficult to tolerate when you get loads of low-qual teams in a row, I know. Like if someone who starts Jinxed is AFK or just awful at their job - that one hurts the most for me because I love jinxed :<
Over time we hope that in general team skills get better. I have I'd say a 3:1 experience good:ohno.
Pick a role and try to stick to it. Striker, midfielder, goalie. I prefer being goalie and I think I'm pretty good at it. Unless your teammates are total duds, you can expect them to score one or two goals. As goalie, you job is to make sure your team has just one score more than the opponent. I don't trust any other player who wants to be goalie. I have been burned too many times by bad goalies who usurp my spot. Now I always insist on defending the goal.
This is it yep!
I find that most of the time my team will instantly run and want to be the star striker getting loads of goals (which.... i mean, they rarely are), but if I play a strong defence then I can at least stop our team conceding loads whilst the rest of them are at the opposing goal. Strong defence makes way more impact than a strong attack in Fall Ball.
Yeppers! I'm going to post here later on today and just remind the sub of this / what to expect with the game awards today and afterwards etc :)
the current timer will change after today to reflect when S3 will kick in, and between those dates, it'll be double XP
Stop it with the double fame points already. You make me wanna quit this game that I really like.
Interesting - why is double fame points a bad thing?
Okay, just to make it absolutely clear since you mention extending season 2, the battlepass page still says 1 day left.
What is the last day I can get battlepass progress? I looked on both the Mediatonic and the FallGuysGame twitter but didn't see anything there, is it Dec 10th or a later date? aka how long do I have left to try?
ps I love the game, very fun. Big Fans is very chaotic but I love making it across since it feels more like fighting my own impulses and timing than other beans.
We haven't yet announced the date that season 3 begins. Season 2 will now end on the same day. At the game awards, tomorrow, we'll announce the release date of Season 3 with a release date trailer. It won't be very long though.
Hahahahahaha i love this
True. That's actually a very good idea. I hope the developers have something like this in their roadmap and maybe we can see this type of thing being implemented in near future
You guys might like Season 3
yesterday u/trichoglossusbee said that the issue was not about the date being changed or unknown, he said they had a solid date for s3 that never changed. so why can't we just be informed about said date at the point where the devs confirm it? even if it's mid season, or two weeks ago. instead, we need to be searching for leaks pages all over because we don't get an official road map, at least with estimated times or what not. this time it seems like the delay after the initial pass timer was only about a week! by the time the team confirms a later date, we could just be informed about it and the players would apreciate it a lot!
instead of covering info and letting the leaks guys tell us first, the team could just publish the news when they are NEW! including dates, game modes, new customizations, etc. at the moment they are doing quite a better job at helping us know what's going on with the game we love than the actual team
Absolutely! (Also nbd but I am she/her haha)

Though the compounding issue of the timer teamed with this is frustrating, in almost all instances, we will be co-ordinating how and when we communicate season releases as part of a wider strategy. This is the case in most if not all large games for major releases and updates (seasons is a big example).
We can still improve how and when we communicate this as we do more and more seasons regardless- but yes, as /u/OliverAge24Artist says, there will almost always be a more co-ordinated plan that we must keep in mind....

A release date announcement is a big marketing beat, so we have chosen to reveal it as part of our featuring in TheGameAwards. A huge number of people will see that and we're hoping it will bring in lots of new players to the game.
It might sound like it's better to just communicate all of that with you, all the time... but that's not a great strategy for marketing. You can give level reveals as exclusives to secure press coverage, for example. We'll talk about everything as soon as we're able to.
It's not a case of us 'doing a bad job' of letting you know what's going on - it's us holding things back to make big marketing beats. It's something every game does, it's not exclusively a weird Fall Guys decision.
