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 :)!
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
Hahahahahaha i love this
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....
Read more+1 this, some sort of 3-5 favorite nickname slots added to the game would be a nice bonus since we can't have the luxury of custom names like on psn, if we had this i wouldn't have to regret changing my name from magic crying cookie :/
I love the idea of having slots for it!! I myself have kept my Feisty Boss Witch for a while as I am too scared to roll something new and get one I don't like as much. We'll discuss with the team to see if we can look at it after S3 is out.
Oh ok. Its just that since originally S1 flew swiftly into S2, i thought thats how S3 was going to go.
But in the discord announcement by Oliver was basically just a "technically we didnt say that so haha"
I'm not surprised you thought S3 was going to go the same way really, and sorry that it hasn't been clear at all - it sucks but I want to solve this going forward so we'll not have any issues like this again, as it really is a communication thing that can be solved by a few small changes (and something I can help with a lot in terms of getting word out / helping with visibility here)!
I think oliver on discord was pulling the whole "well we never said that S3 was going to start right after S2, you misunderstood us" when thats how it was in S1-S2
Ah I see!
Just re-reading now that work has finished for me - what Oliver articulated is correct that the timer hasn't historically indicated the start of the next season, but has indicated the start of "Thing that will happen between seasons before we show the next date", but with only a two seasons being done before, we haven't really have a 'standard' yet on what we do between seasons. The knock-on of that/poor communication has got us here. We certainly don't mean it as like 'oh no you misunderstood us and that's on you guys', more 'oh we did not communicate this properly'.
Read moreThanks for taking the time to reply, I was not expecting it, and I appreciate all the work you guys do.
I do think that something that could perhaps really help for next season would be like, a weekly thread kind of like the ones that the sub does already, but where you guys could let us know what you're working on, just so we have that vital communication. I feel like, as folks have said, a lot of the reason for the animosity lately is that there's been so much silence from yall as a company as to what's being worked on. I mean even the Trello issue thing barely seems to be updated anymore. That was a great step towards more open communication, and I hope you guys continue down that road. It's the vaccum of content from you guys recently that has caused theories such as the season being delayed to crop up.
Again, thank you for doing what you do, and I have faith that in time the communication will improve, but I do feel like some kind of consistent, weekly update t...
I think this is something I'll look to do! I am able to sticky posts here, and will likely run it that way. Thanks for the feedback as well, and yeah I do think improved communication will go a long way!
I can also double confirm this and I shouldn't be typing on a stream but here I am!
