I don’t even think the first point is valid - Germany isn’t dead. I’ve literally just played 3, won 3 in full lobbies at BR2. My win rate as Germany is currently 68% - similar to the other factions, if not a little higher.
Yes, there are plenty of games that really don’t go my way - but if that wasn’t the case we’d be complaining of Germany dominating. It should be a competitve challenge, win percentages in the 50s and 60s should be expected in my opinion.
There will always be swings in where the majority of players are but it has little to do with actual game balance and will probably be less noticeable if the player count grows.
I can agree with that, when I have a full team of golden marshals, and other team full of golden marshals. But not when my Germany have 2 gold players and 8 bots, and enemy have full team of top live players.
Even when i am on a business trip for the first two weeks of the season, I come back and still kick marshal asses as a “silver” without profile pic or name decorator
Ranks mean barely anything, just time played recently.
Germany seems fine right now. You’ll catch a round every once in a while that gets filled with bots when the human players desert the round, but that is very rare. They’ve been giving pretty good fights in Normandy the past few days.
Punishing is such a great way to improve things, right? Maybe just implement preferences so players don’t need to play dead boring defense 8 times in a row (which is way too common) and get to choose something else than conquest.
I am surprised that they haven’t implemented these things already as it would give them valid data on what is good, what is not and what should be abandoned.
What are you even talking about? I just said desertion should be penalized and not rewarded like it currently is.
If you are so insecure about having protection against leaving multiplayer matches and thus ruining experience for everyone else. Then whatever, I don’t really care about your opinion because you are most likely one of the sources of the problems with this game.
Literally majority of multiplayer games penalizes players for leaving mid game. It’s preventive protection. :)) And it’s definitely needed in Enlisted as well.
Nah, we need harder penalties for desertion now, otherwise you encourage desertion. Why is it encouraged? Because let us say half this player base doesn’t like having the lack of choice for their matchmaking, and what ends up happening is they desert. The enemy team is left to deal with one or two players with a full bot team. So not only did you ruin any kind of enjoyment your teammates might’ve had by leaving like degenerate, but also ruined for the enemy team cause steamrolling a bunch of bots is not fun in any kind of way. Maybe the first time before you realize the enemy team was just a bunch of bots.
No mercy for deserters, you made the decision to join the shitty matchmaker which doesn’t give you a choice. It’s your choice to desert but also your responsibility to deal with the consequences.
Don’t ease up on desertion, otherwise you will encourage it to become the norm as it already has. Maybe promote better matchmaking options.
