In the future streamers won't even enter these contests because all they have to do is message Oliver and he'll give them whatever they want. And "What harm does sending free stuff to streamers cause?" or whatever nonsense BS Oliver said before...I dunno, pretty much makes me not want to believe anything that person says about the game because in your company's own way you're paying them to say it.

It sounds like you have an issue with Influencer Marketing - I'm really sorry to say but this is SUPER common. It's actually more uncommon for a game to do no Influencer Marketing at all now. I don't want to argue the pros/cons of it since it's an industry-wide thing. Actually, it's not even the games industry. Every industry.

I’m not usually one to comment but holy cow, you’re right. If they want to make things right then they should take away the costume from streamers who exploited private lobbies. You know they’d take it away from us regular players without hesitating.

It baffles me how they don’t see how this angers people, it’s pretty clear.

It's our fault for not making it a rule, we've learned from it, and next time we'll have some more rules in place.

I noticed something weird about the ledge climbing bug...

Sometimes, a player falls over on my screen but they keep moving perfectly fine. I assume they are standing on their screen.

It's a bit more obvious when spectating.

Anyways, I noticed that sometimes when someone tries to grab a ledge while ragdolled on my screen, they don't climb up. I think what might be happening is their game thinks that they are standing so it lets them grab onto a ledge but the server thinks that the player is ragdolled and falling, so it doesn't let them up.

This MIGHT be ONE of the causes, there might be other causes.

If I'm wrong I'd like to know. I don't know much about programming and I know NOTHING about fall guys' code and servers. This is just what I saw through my observation.

I know you prefer clips, so I'll try get clips of this and post it here on reddit.

I'm just trying my best to help out.

This is definitely SOME instances of it for sure, but I don't feel like from seeing footage so far that it fits all of them, but the team are investigating with that in mind :) thank you so much for your help though!

Gonna ask if we can delay Season 4 just for more of this fabulous artwork

I’m so sad you’re getting rid of the single fruit board in perfect match. I genuinely thought it was supposed to be like that. It was hilarious!!

It is objectively hilarious to watch but sad overall because people are gunning for achievements whilst this happens. I wish we could move these bugs (like the time there was no floor on Slime Survivor) into its own playlist for people who just love the chaos of them.

Can't we just have everyone assigned a random team color (blue/green/red/yellow) and try to get wins for their team? Then everyone gets to participate and feel like they could be a winner! It could even just be a counter for everyone that makes the finale if not the win itself?

Hahahaha I love this idea. I don't know how easy it is with our current analytics set-up but I've added it into my little "dream list" of things that would be cool to see.

Thank you! We need communication to be aware of what's going on, and this kind of information is very good to hear!

As a suggestion, I think had this information been conveyed a few weeks ago it could have gone a long ways for perception of the 3.5 release. Even though it likely wouldn't have been as comprehensive, just something that would have said, "We know these are still outstanding issues with the community, but we're going forward with 3.5 since it's ready, and we'll continue to work on these other issues. Thank you for your patience, hope to have another update for you in a week," would have made a world of difference.

A note regarding the customer support request: One reason I hadn't been keen to submit requests is because the public issue tracker looked incredibly stale. As such, from my perspective, submitting an official support request seemed like it wouldn't have gone a long way. So if there's a way that support/bug issues might have some improve...

Totally agree. It was hard for this particular one as it was first release after the festive period and there was a lot to organise, but it would have been good for me to flag "don't worry we're still looking at X/Y, it's just taking time" in a more visible way than I have done! Easy days though as I am hoping to make these sort of news-y announcements at least once or twice a week which should help across the board. As long as they stay...

It’s the false advertisement that made the players angry. They said they aren’t going to show us the rate costumes in their ads again. Let’s hope they keep their promise. Accessibility of the game, to many players, includes cosmetic items, and the community managers should be clear about how they can be obtained. Transparency is key to good communication.

Totally agree, it was a big mistake on our part including them in the Season 2 trailer that we've been doing everything we can to prevent from happening in the future.

All DLC costumes have a variant colour that won't be in the store. Since the Season 2 mess up, I think we've done pretty well at keeping them out of trailers. A lot of the time our gameplay trailer footage is taken in our playtests, at which point we usually don't know which costume out of the two colour options will be in the DLC. During the playtests, we have most costumes available to use so it's a little tricky to make sure 100% that they don't make it in, but so far I think we've done pretty well at keeping them out. We'll continue to do everything we can to prevent them from being in promotional material.

I just wonder about the top 10 player, is it for the whole week (Feb 1 to 8), or just the weekend (Feb 6 to 7)), cuz you guys kinda showed it up at Feb 5, like it was a "heads up guys, this weekend, we gonna see who gonna win the most! (so you dont give some player a head start of 4 days worth of grinding wins).

But again, with only 24 wins in those 2 days from me (compare to their (if weekly stats), 21 to 28 daily wins :O

Also had love to hear how many people manage to complete the magic dragon thing the first day and how many extra where lucky with an extra day added / the nerf from 3 to only 2 needed.

SO!

My colleague is still watching every entry at the moment and it's taking a while as you can imagine, but it was still super hard even with the nerf. I'm not sure if we'd share numbers on it really, but basically it went from super hard and nearly impossible, to super hard and not necessarily impossible, so volume still isn't in the 000's of entries.

Our CS team need to be seeing your bug reports. I see so many here and though I do all I can with them to investigate and pass to the team when it is in my capacity, our CS team are much better armed to deal with queries - and it imperative that if you are able to, you report the bug to them via support.fallguys.com

How, exactly? Through Trello or customer support?

You should be using support.fallguys.com to report bugs when you see them if you can. The Trello helps keep status updates but it isn't a reporting tool - does that answer your Q?

I don't understand the stance of, "we didn't want to validate 1000's of entries.".
If there were 4000, couldn't they just choose 1 at random, validate it and repeat x100 (+ a few more that turned out to be disqualified on the random picks)?
No need to validate all 4000 first.

Hi! It's me that's going through the submissions and I really wish that was the case (and tbh I think that's how I thought it would be before I actually started looking through them). I spent yesterday going through 118 out of the 330 submissions and only 4 were correct. It seems we underestimated how many people would send in three uncut videos of them playing Tundra Run, Fall Ball and Perfect Match in which they either dropped Pegwin or didn't even see him; three failed attempts at one level; or one failed attempt at Tundra Run, a handwritten letter and a video of them emoting on Fortnite.

I think the 100 max winners raffle for the 2 levels completed is one of the worst parts of this, I managed to get tundra run and fall ball by myself by staying up all night and getting stupidly lucky, and there’s still a very good chance that I’ll get nothing for it anyway, still haven’t heard anything yet or whether they’ll tell you if you won or not.

I’d say everyone who managed to get it in 2 levels deserves the costume, there’s enough RNG involved without a massive lucky dip at the end. I get they want a costume to be rare but I can’t honestly see more than about 200 to 500 getting it at a very rough estimate, which would still be literally nothing compared to the entire player base.

That said it was a unique and interesting challenge, that gave even private lobbied streamers a run for their money, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy playing it, even with perfect match being practically impossible, but it’ll definitely leave a sour taste in my mouth if I ...

Hi! Well done for getting Tundra Run and Fall Ball! It's me that is going through all the submissions, so I'll just explain the current status.
We had around 330 submissions total, and I've been through 118 so far and 4 of them have got 2/3. Those are all from the first 23 hours, before anyone knew that 2/3 would qualify, so I'd expect that far more of those last 200 submissions will have made it. I also believe anyone who did it absolutely deserves the costume, it's simply down to limitation of resources.
That said, if we do get slightly over 100 qualifying submissions, we will extend the amount slightly. I can't say how many I expect to have done it, your guess is as good as mine at this point, but I am really hoping that around 100 did it correctly so that everyone can get the costume.
Also, just to clarify - you won't know if you've got it until you just check your inventory. Unfortunately we don't have in-game messaging to let you know, and I didn't want to take...

That was me! I'm checking through the submissions - I've checked the first 118 so far and only 4 made the 2/3 Pegwins that we need, but those are all from the first 23 hours of the competition. We had 330 responses in total, and I expect that a lot more in that last day will qualify.
My hope is that 100 people managed to do it correctly, so then we can give the costume to everyone who did, but currently it's hard to say.

I think we can all agree it does lol.

It's super high priority for us to improve physics - we have made some good progress, hopefully we can roll it out soon!
