Are you Pro Merge, Anti-Merge, or Neutral? (Let's review)

Smart man indeed. Pacific was boring.

Anti, you can go against KV1s and panzer 4s in ab41s and t26s, and just encourages you to never play anything below teir 4 again because of the amount you get stomped by higher teir players and you don’t have counters

Good

  • keeping as many players together as possible in a single match maker
  • not having to unlock things multiple times
  • increased chance of vehicles (more players = more vehicles) (how many times you’ve been a fighter but there’s never any enemy planes)
  • theoretically increased variety of content (such as Moscow vehicles in Stalingrad, King Tigers in Normandy)
  • completely full matches

Bad

  • historical hiccups and things that break atmosphere (Panthers in Stalingrad, Italian paratroopers in Normandy and Berlin, time traveling FG 42s and Gewehr 43 in early battles, in general things that are appearing where they should not be)

Overall, 7/10.

Matchmaking is much better, I mostly played on T3 to see how getting uptier/downtier would work. And at least in my experience, it went pretty good. I didn’t feel like I was terribly advantaged or disadvantaged. Even when getting uptiered, it felt a lot better since I actually had human players.

Speaking of, woah. Was consistently getting into matches in less than five seconds. Longest it took was 30 seconds. :exploding_head:

BR is okay too. It’s far from perfect, there’s a lot of stuff that’s in the wrong spot. A few examples:
OG43 is T4 when really it should be 2 or 3
KV1 should be T3 until it can actually be reasonably dealt with.
M4A2 is T3 but British Sherman is T4, therefore excluding it from Tunisia?
And lots of weapons make others useless, for example STG and MKB are both T5, but why would I ever touch the MKB after getting the STG?
Theres other stuff but that’s just what came to mind.

My biggest problem is that British and Italians aren’t in a seperate tree. I find it rather lazy since there’s plenty of stuff to make tech trees for both of them, it clutters the tech tree, and we can’t buy soldiers for them either.

It was really fun the first month or so, but then it died and just turned into a bot farm for Axis (and then later Allies)

I believe that the merger was something that had to happen, it was not done as many wanted, and many others did not even take the trouble to read what was announced 1 year ago, the system is quite imperfect and I believe that from the beginning it was The test server should have been done on the main server for decision making with a broader spectrum

the system need more maps mid 43 and 44 on east front

I was playing in Tier V with Tier 1 weapons and I had a lot of fun, it was a defense to the limit (I voluntarily forced the system)

but the game still fun, i dont stop playing this game

I dislike it. Every match now is a stomp or a long stalemate with boring defense like we have with Tunisian caves


Low BR is more dead than expected with sub 10 min stomps, BR3 will send you into Stalingrad against Tiger E (nice Historical authenticity and realism) or to stomp newbies even faster, and BR4-5 is full of “esport athletes” + cheaters that compete for a grand cup of Enlisted with reward of 0 dollars.

Game is not fun no matter the BR it’s either too damn easy or too damn hard nothing in between (stomp or be stomped), not giving us one additional BR was a mistake at least BR3 would fight vs BR4 and not against BR1 or BR5.

Gameplay have completely changed and it was obvious that game was not designed for a full lobbies now it’s way too campy and flanky you need five eyes to spot all enemies all around you, playing as a tank in post-merge world is just a suicide mission.

If i die while protecting the point it will be almost completely captured it’s like game is played at the double speed with all those players that are on amphetamine.

Obviously they couldn’t sustain game with campaign system but they could realize merge a bit differently than we currently have, and as infantry just crossing a street is asking for yet another death into your KDR stats.

I love when people tries to to prove their point with one single screenshot. Presenting it like it is something very common.

What the hell is going on here? What happened to the game? I log in and suddenly none of the maps are there and all my hard work getting better is taken away. Is this even the same game? Does anyone know what’s going on?

Im consistently anti merge considering the problems its going to create and its starting to show various red flags already.

Told you so with the War Thunderdization of Enlisted with WT elements creeping into the system and now we have a tech tree that’s more grindy than the old system because of course Gaijin being Gaijin.

Still Pro-merge

IMO this isnt really the merge. Its half the merge.

the other half comes when cosmetics are fixed, BRS are put in their proper places, and at least a 3rd Match Making queue is added. Then there is all the bugs and shit that comes in every game with a major patch

8 Likes

Yeah, people do act like this game will never get another patch or update.

I think it was very important to release this update already.

Very reasonable opinion

here have another one


just as i expected Axis BR1-2 is half dead because they are so underpowered when compared to the Soviets and USA.

it reminds me of WT’s matches where you spawncamp entire enemy team. Player retention going to be even worse now lol.

Yeah, i just hope the feedback since test 1 gets acted on swiftly.

It is significant…IMO

There are actually too many BRs already. The BR values are insane for half the things. What is the point of adding more BRs when you play against 4-stacks of BR5 failures no matter what you bring?
Had a BR4 lineup - oops all Tigers/StG/FG/Conders/Premium squads taking 3 fully upgraded SVT-40 bodyshots to get killed
Had a BR3 lineup - oops all Tigers/StG/FG/Conders/Premium squads taking 3 fully upgraded SVT-38 bodyshots to get killed
The game got incredibly frustrating since my friends don’t have full BR5 lineups like I do and I actually spent a ton of silver to buy a BR4 then BR3 weapon sets, only to fight same stuff, at greater disadvantage
Why can’t the matchmaker have conditional lineups? Where I queue as BR3 for example, but if we land in BR5 lobby I get to use my good stuff and actually make the game more even?

More BRs means you can spread out the gear away from each other. But to work you also need more queues to actually make a difference.

2 Likes

That’s my point though - the spread is way too much already. At least russian BR4 is just egregiously bad compared to a 10 player BR5 germany, but you also can play BR3 vs BR5.
For BR4: the SVT-40 is kind of garbage and the AVT/AVS is hilariously at BR5, last good SMG pre BR5 is PPSh-42/43 in BR2, the MG’s are decent but are no MG42. For planes you literally do not have BR4 options. Fighting and beating space UFOs in the P-40, 1941 IL2 and La-5 is a bit hilarious but I’m afraid will get old soon enough
BR3 is even more lopsided.
Whats the point of going to let’s say 7 BR’s, then letting BR2 fight BR7 anyway?

you wouldnt. thats where the queues come into its. 1-2, 3-4. 5-6, 7-8 etc etc.

Alot cleared if you just look at the diagram in the thread I posted you

My point was that so far it seems devmans will let hilariously lopsided matches just to get enough players in them.
Of course it would be nice to not be forced to use abysmally obsolete stuff to fight best weapons in the game.
However, we have to feed BR5 Germany something, anything. BR2 and BR3 will do fine too

Personally I feel that it’s high time to bring out the stick against egregious stacking.
Have Herr Clippy pop up and inform them “Zis queue timer have been uncapped and might take 2h before we find you some hapless bolt action players to run over in your King Tigor, consider switching to a different nation”
