Yeah your diagnóstic is that You are done with this Game as me
Rest from more than 1 week at least 2-3 but don’t forget about playing fps games like the one where a team have to plant a bomb and the other one kill the other team or disable the bomb
Or just bully kids on a Game that have many other games inside (including fps) and get a Lot of sastifaction cuz that kids call You “cheater”
I do report cheaters, but I’ve noticed a lot more of them in recent days than I’ve ever seen playing this game. I expect a lot of nonsense with this game just because this game is jank. But when I run into people that can shot rifles through solid hills/stone walls and stuff that’s when red flags get thrown.
I’ve played a lot of FPS games over the years and still play them today outside of this game, and I can say that this game is the only one that I actively questioned a lot of stuff that happens and encounter frustration when trying to play it since things don’t make sense a lot of the time. I’ve reported these issues to the devs as well with videos alongside explanations as to what’s happening. Honestly these days though I’ve stopped caring and playing simply because I know how the Devs stand with this game and its becoming less worth my time.
Oh, trust they are there, not every match but there are times I can go from one match to the next and run into them. The fact that the reporting system is so cumbersome doesn’t help non cheating players either. While in match I either have to choose between “tabbing” to report the player or selecting a squad helping my team. With how fast matches are this makes reporting less of a thing that players like me want to do because I’d rather try to win then report someone and do the job of the anti-cheat system. But if I wait until after then the person cheats the whole match which is not fun for me and the team people quit the match and it becomes chaos. I then have to either write down the person’s name which good luck with that if it’s a none Romanized name meaning letters the I can recognize, and then wait for the replay to show up in the portal so like 10 minutes or so, and then go into the match replay another 3-5 minutes for download, and 1-2 minutes for the download to open in-game which this alone is the dumbest thing ever I shouldn’t have to have the game open to view a replay of the match I just had. But because of their weird video file format they use for replays it’s not recognized by any other video player and then after all that time of waiting I report them that way.
All this because an anti-cheat system doesn’t do its job correctly, so I have to step in as the player to do it for them. Meanwhile the cheater in question goes about their day cheating and making others game time miserable until such time they get banned and put on a list
I made 2 posts about cheaters and several people came out saying “there are no cheaters, the problem is you”, Anti Cheat is terrible, it has been proven that Battle Eye is one of the worst Anticheats, talking about cheaters here makes you look like a crazy person, I honestly find it funny when they say “use the reporting tool”, if Anticheat was good it wouldn’t be necessary to use any tool as a user, I’m not wasting any more time reporting, it’s useless.
Please, talk to the devs, something has to change
I play almost exclusively with any team selected AND with same BR across the board
I record almost every game I play and looking back through them it’s just sad
That one was pretty bad, but almost every single day is not much better.
It is NOT a complaint about too many losses. I still hover around 69% (nice) winrate anyway. It’s just the fact that the games are of such dreary quality it’s hard to enjoy the game. Having to sit there for 25 minutes waiting for the “attacking” team to time out because majority of their players will not leave spawn and use up tickets is soul destroying, even if it ends up with a win. I’d rather lose 10 matches in a row, as long as I know the losses can be traced to actual gameplay (built a bad rally point, missed enemy APC behind our lines, failed to kill enemy tanks fast enough, etc) and not just “half my team is refusing to play the game”
It’s not an iron law of the universe. Obviously, some people will be frustrated unless they somehow win 100% matches, which is obviously impossible in an actualy player vs player game…but we are talking some really low hanging fruit that could be done to address the situation.
make the queues longer for factions with too many players, tell them what’s happening
advertise the +50% more, some players don’t even know it’s a thing still
do not allow 3 and 4 stacks to pick overpopulated factions only or force them to play any
do 2 passes in matchmaker (even with play all, I often end up on team A which is 9/10 out of the gate…when team B ends up with bots/latejoins/low BR victims that get turbostomped)
I can’t prove it since I don’t have any data outside my own personal experience, but it often seems that stacked BR5 factions technically are advertised as 4-5 only…often get to fight BR3, because the opposing side is 3-5. So right out of the gate, the team with “better players” (not necessarily all that amazing, but with good gear, tons of squad slots and vehicles, fully upgraded weapons and maxed out troopers) gets to fight…BR3 randoms (who…often have low rank soldiers without maxed out stats, unupgraded weapons, lack map knowledge and overall experience, where even with same gear they would probably not be fully on par with someone who has played 2k or more battles already…and then to top it off those inexperienced players often do not understand just putting on a single unupgraded Garand is enough to send them into a Hei Auto/FG422 blender)
And those people with meta BR5 lineups that stack up as 4 players in discord and select the most overpopulated faction only…end up being rewarded with easy stompy win after win after win
3 month average is from august till ~11. november.
it puts you in games where there is lack of players. i usually win more games with join any than i lose, but that is cause i can usually carry.
are we playing the same game? only thing we currently have epidemic is epidemic of shit players.
balancing is impossible without SBMM system. to introduce SBMM, they would need to remove faction vs faction MM(or do force join any) and that would lead to lots of people complaining.
i am 95% certain that those cheater allegation come from being in actually unbalanced games where one side has somewhat competent team vs your side that has total shit team. your team starts camping and whole enemy team just focuses you if you are playing objective.
players lag, servers lag. check in replay if someone is actually aiming through walls or it is just lag.
also i remember before that there was situation where if you are downed by one player and second player finishes you(first player getting kill), it shows killcam on first player. this could also explain it. so like i said check replay to be 100% certain if it was cheater, lag or just stupid killcam.
i will just tell you that game is still full of bugs and bad design choices. had one guy accusing some really shit player of WH when he was getting killed through closed door. checked replay and saw that if you are farther than 100m, doors arent displayed(so game mechanic).
if you actually showed evidence of cheaters then maybe people would take you seriously. and no googling cheats on google/youtube isnt evidence. give replay with timestamp for suspected cheater(or record video of cheater). nobody is going to take you seriously if you cry cheaters everywhere without actual proof.
These were in fact people shooting through solid objects. As in checking the replay shows them shooting me through solid objects. I know these servers lag, they can’t handle anything at any time and its worse when they micro update or update the game in general.
I am well aware of this P.O.S. game and its bugs that won’t be fixed. Hence me not caring about it anymore. The same issue that are not fixed for years, it’s not worth my time trying to help Devs that clearly don’t care about something they made. Their bed they can lay in it.
I would be in agreement here, which is why I tend NOT to play much with my level 3 allies, because when I do and draw the Japanese I get curb stomped by level 5 Japanese. That doesn’t happen if I draw the Germans. DF could solve that issue simply by shit canning their soft rule, as from what I see it only tends to piss people off. I would much rather wait for a level 3/4 match then get immediately punked to level 5 where I am just going to get pissed and most likely desert . I don’t desert a lot, but that is one reason I do.
When the merge came out more then a year ago, Soviets only had noobs in BR3-5 and I only lost to them once in that 1 month time period because their resistance was virtually zero, they performed worse than in the final months of Berlin campaign.
Japan also did horrendously in BR1-3.
The game became much more balanced then a year ago, we don’t see factions win or lose 99% of battles for weeks or months. It’s a very slow process but the game is becoming more and more balanced even without dev intervention.
. I don’t desert a lot, but that is one reason I do.
