I’m still waiting on my crown rank rewards too but I linked my Amazon account and didn’t get that costume either, is it all related?

The Amazon award would be unrelated. Our support staff can try and help with that - pop them a note at support.fallguys.com :)

Can you modify the sucker puncher platform in Tundra Run where you don’t automatically rag doll when you run on top of them? Super annoying!

Also, can you add a 2nd staircase from the start of Tundra Run on the other side of the 1st staircase? It’ll make the map symmetrical and not force 60 beans into a very tight space.

Looking into the puncher stuff right now! And interesting comment on symmetry, I'll raise with the team.

What was the issue with Hexagon? Sorry first time heard the word "ragdoll".

Basically, people were completely unable to get up after a fall in time, meaning they were just sinking to the bottom layers :<

A tl;dr of the issues and potential ideas for solutions colorblind people like myself have come across:

ALL TEAM GAMES

Problem - For the majority of colorblind people, the 3 main team colors (red, blue, yellow) are largely good. However, for colorblind people that only see in monochrome, they would still have trouble with it.

Potential solution - A suggestion was to add shapes in some way to the beans to make them distinguishable even without color. I’m not sure how that would be implemented though, but I think it’s a good idea to add a secondary way to differentiate beans even for those that can’t tell color apart at all. Adding this as a togglable option in settings would make sure only people that prefer using the setting have it on as well, preventing any confusion among regular color-vision people.

TEAM TAIL TAG

Problem - The 4th team color (green) throws a huge wrench into the colorblind accessibility. Some colorblind people ...

Thank you so much for this. I'll take proper time to read and digest these suggestions over the next few days.

It counts only crowns won from seasons 1-2 but will count both crowns won and reward crowns from here on out.

This! Thanks so much /u/fiffletrig

Probably something happened with the servers. After winning the round he got booted to the title screen, but he got the crown :D

He definitely ran around like a madbean :D

AH! I bet this is when the Update kicked in for him and the other players (we just rolled a patch out). THAT LOOKS SO FUN. Thin Ice is SO MUCH fun to me haha!

Comment

Hey there! We REALLY RECENTLY rolled a patch out for this. Please let me know if it's better for you after that's been installed!

Comment

Okay so....

Professional hat on: can you tell me what happened here?

Curiosity hat: please tell me your Nephew just ran around the ice like a madbean and took full advantage of the empty playing field. living my dream a little.

That means a lot to hear that, it really does. It’s good to know that there’s a member of the team that has a vested interest in making the game more colorblind-friendly. Especially when said team member is familiar with what it’s like to live with severe colorblindness!

Also: as a community manager myself for a uni study abroad program, I get that feeling of “it’s good that I can’t get it out of my mind”! Whenever my students come to me with criticisms about what we could be doing better in terms of accessibility, I can’t stop thinking about how we can make it a better experience for them. That attitude has helped us become a lot more inclusive over the past couple years, and I couldn’t be more proud of fostering an environment where our students feel comfortable being as constructively critical as they want!

That's so good, and also, what a rewarding CM job too :D! That attitude is the super duper right attitude I think to have as a CM. You HAVE to genuinely care. I was a Fall Guys player before I was ever Fall Guys CM, and I am still a fan as much as I am a CM, and that certainly helps. If you don't genuinely care about what you do, well, it goes very badly...

From everything I've seen during the transition to Season 3, you've been absolutely great during all this. There's been a lot of frustration going around, even from me occasionally, but I wanted to take a second to let you know that I've been incredibly impressed with how communicative you've been with this community.

Honestly, you've made a huge difference in the time you've been active, and I'm hoping others here will give you the credit you deserve as well.

Thank you so much. I really enjoy chatting to you all and the perspective you give, issues you raise, and bugs that you flag are crucial to us! :)

No worries, I figured that might have been the case which is why I thought I’d do a gentle “poke” post here (did I do the social media word right, am I “cool” yet?). I have a lot of respect for the team, and I hope my criticisms and disappointment don’t convey anything to the contrary. But if all of you are able to make something happen soon to make team games (particularly 4-team team games), Ski Fall, and Thin Ice more playable for colorblind people, I think the Community as a whole would be very thankful.

More than anything, I think back to when I was a kid playing games. I got made fun of all the time for missing “easy” color-coded things in games. I failed science classes because I genuinely couldn’t do anything color-related (pH testing literally brought me to tears since I spent hours upon hours doing it and still failed the assignments as I got all the colors wrong).

So while I’m mostly fine with working around it by this point in my life at the ripe old a...

My dad is extremely colourblind, so I think of him when I read your post. I won't be able to get this off my mind for a while now. Which is good, really. I'll absolutely see what's happening and if there's more we can do.

I’m happy y’all continue to be so communicative about everything, y’all really did deserve the Community Support Award.

That said, I still haven’t heard a single thing (beyond very vague “I’ll pass it along” from support) regarding how season 3 further compounds already-existing issues for colorblind players. I made a post yesterday where you can see a ton of fellow players voicing their support or noting their own troubles as colorblind players themselves: https://www.reddit.com/r/FallGuysGame/comments/kebjqj/season_3_makes_fall_guys_even_less_colorblind/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I really sincerely hope you’ll all consider fast-tracking this fix, as it prevents a large number of players (notably colorblind children who might not even realize why they’re struggling w...

Oh I am so sorry I missed that thread!!! I am based in the UK so sometimes I miss the most active times in this subreddit.

I will raise it with the team to see if there's active plans that I am not aware of yet. Thank you for very well thought out and important feedback on the game in the meantime.

At least those things are fixed so that's good. I still want the Crown Rank issue to be figured out. If the target is "end of the week" that just leaves tomorrow since I doubt anything will be done about it over the weekend. So it does look like this is going to extend into next week (or longer.) Was that part tested before Season 3 launched or is that another one of those "We can't test for that" things?

I don't know what 'one of those "We can't test for that" things?' is in this context.

They are working as fast as they can on it (as they were with these fixes), and if it does extend into next week, you will all know.

There's been a lot of feedback on SS. Twofold responses - sorry for scapegoating your comment for the first one as I know you didn't specify it but easy for me to roll into one for anyone browsing :)

Uneven Teams

This SHOULD only occur in the Winter Playlist, and not in the Main Show (unless a player drops out after the round has been selected)

Griefing and That Bean Keeps Stopping My Entire Damned Team

We're not proactively looking into this right now. It might be something we check in the future (in terms of 1 bean's ability to stop the ball), but I can say these are some tips that have helped me so far:

  • Hop around the ball and push in the same direction as the griefer. This helps it gain traction in a direction

  • Navigate the ball to the punchboxes and try and punchbox around the level to cover ground

  • Grab the griefer back so they loosen grip for a second and yell exp...

Same. People talk about them as if both were the same type of games but AU could not be farther from a platformer racer. Personally I do not see even the characters as so similar, only just on a very basic level. Those who stopped playing Fall Guys completely and went over to Among Us instead, would have quitted FG anyway, if not for AU than for some other game. They do not went over to Among Us because it is a much better platformer game, but because they were not interested in Fall Guys enough in the first place. Which is not a bad thing of course, many good games can exist paralelly without this senseless need for competing with each other and trolling those who like one or the other.

Absolutely. I know from a community standpoint, no CM in the world condones leaving hate on other game's posts anyway.

I think at the end of the day, most who leave those comments and believe it aren't really people who play games regularly.

Woop! Hopefully soon - will let you all know if the date for the fix extends into next week.
