To keep a game long live, grinding is not enough, people will finish grinding eventually, keep adding contents will not as fast as grinding. A ranked game mode may help with keep players base. Recently years, successful games like csgo, dota2, LOL, all have ranked mode. Enlisted has the potential to be a competitive mode as it has many elements and requires people to play together to win a match.
Competitive mode may start with selected not op gears, and people can bring selected not op squads to the battle field. The game mode can be death match or invasion. Win a game gives some points where lose takes some points. In each BP session, top ranked players may get some special reward like gold order or premium squad order etc. There can be medal/achievement reward for ranked game top.
We already tested the basis of it in sort of an event.
There is a skill leaderbord with the overall performance per Player. And said features are expected to be back at the game once they are fully done.
I expect them to come this next update.
Regarding the rewards, medals were spoiled on a update they released our profile stats by mistake into the game. And we could see our stats on all campaigns and also rewards for competitive gsmeplay, events etc in form of player banners and badges.
You can see them in this topic :
It’s still in development but I hope it comes on next update.
i saw the status too. It is only part of a competitive scene. A proper game mode is needed, like queue in casual or ranked. Ranked should have selected weapons and squads for better balancing.
Yes, turning the game into “how many bots can you kill while camping in a tank out of bounds, before ammo runs out” competition will certainly increase the life span of the game.
At least in my eyes, Lone Wolf was the “competitive mode” to try to draw in players wanting it. And of course we all know what happened to Lone Wolf mode.
So we remove bots because they are stupid. We might remove vehicles because they are OP and as a result we get ranked CoD f2p.
I know I’m exaggerating but it’s clear that this game was never meant to be competative. It is casual by design and I don’t see a way to make it competative without removing half of the game.
So unless devs change something, I don’t see how could it work.
i’m amazed how people often want what shouldn’t be introduced.
i’m not particularly against competitive games since i used to be a regular cunt over rainbow six siege and valorant,
but why in enlisted.
so, you want to play a competitive game without the main feature of the game, you know, the thing that enlisted has been designed fore? the core features?
bots?
sounds like lone fighter competitive 1 0 1.
and you expect:
i don’t know how do you expect this one to work in the first place.
for my book, you are just a big dreamer, which i respect. but how do you expect people to play comps if for one reason or another, the playerbase isn’t ( small ) but not that big enough?
across 4 campaigns.
just to take in consideration what we have:
tunisia is almost desert, like, no joke. not only the maps, but the playerbase. ( outside the ally ).
normandy is full of axis players right now, and the americans are somewhat rising but i don’t think a 10 v 3/4 it’s enough.
moscow it’s somewhat balanced in terms of playerbase
and berlin is just like tunisia up until the tiger will be realesed. ( therefore making it a pre normandy 2.0 where germans main flooded normandy because of the mp43 and panther ).
like, i don’t know how do you expect to increase the playerbase with a competitive gamemode when even the base game is far from being functional.
tanks that are far from being functional, same as airplanes and “balance” almost unexistance.
i have yet to see some asymmetrical competitive game that it works without flaws.
enlisted would be just ending up in line next with the others.
and i’m not the one saying it:
and i cannot see how it’s even meant to work.
heck, even the " event / game mode " that @Shiivex is praising for a return was deaply flawed.
A, force competitive to one faction was simply bad. especially since the playerbase WAS and IT IS STILL low ( tunisia ). therefore not having worthy or enough opponents.
B, the leaderboard system was half backed and far from being functional.
i think mr quadro made a video about it, and perhaps the only one. resulting in, matters how many match you win, not how many you play and win.
potentially, one guy with 5 matches played and 5 matches winned was “superior” ( in a better place ) than a guy that played 10 matches and won 7 games.
i don’t see how this can work IF competitive games, just like based on this event force people to switch faction and play them.
we do not have a large playerbase.
which i completely hope for the opposite.
because in me eyes WILL NOT and DOES NOT benefict enlisted at all.
it would just split even more the player base from different game modes.
just like often people say " forcing things to be what they are not supposed to, or try to convert them doesn’t always end up doing something at all ".
but hey, developers could prove me wrong.
as they have even a market for the profile ( icons, titles and shit like that ) will, probably and eventually be a thing anyway…
Competitive can only exist if they insert divisions in the game, so as to create groups of players vs other groups of players, Competitive you want here due to factions and campaigns are impossible due to lack of players, and due to the fact that the game being BETA he has problems after problems, therefore based on the current game situation it is easy to understand that it is impossible to add and run competitive games
Im not sure why everyone is discounting bots for competitive? Are they perfect and comp worthy? Not at the moment, But ranked should be for those who can manage their squads effectively since it is the main game mode, and with continued updates they should be more capable.
I can see some form of the competitive queue being added in the future, it certainly is not out of the realm of possibility and it is something I am looking forward to if it is ever added. Some of the best matches I’ve had were similarly skilled on both sides.
And I don’t think anyone is asking for anything hardcore, they just want more recognition.
The game will only grow if there is a competitive part Into it.
Right now the matches mean nothing
@ErikaKalkbrenner I’m not asking for what they delivered. I m asking for a better option based on what we did tested.
You don’t want to play it, good all fair and square.
But in my opinion having the option to play competitive with the option to grow on a ranking system will only benefit enlisted.
It won’t change nothing on queue for normal games and will probably even attract more players into the game.
Having custom matches right now didn’t change nothing on our queue times on normal matchmaker. A competitive side won’t change nothing either.
I saw you asking multiple times befor for a pve mode. Only against bots.
It’s the same thinking behind regarding matchmaker, benefits into the game etc.
Or did you saw us against your requests for a pve mode? Not at all.
It amazes me how far people can go against something they don’t want others to have if they don’t see themselfs into that.
You don’t want a ranked system, queue what ever in a separated mode? Fair and square.
But Atleast, let others that really want it as it was requested many many times befor, even on the twitch qna with devs have it.
Again. I m not asking for what we saw on tunisia. I m asking for a improved version of that.
If we all thinj about it, it could only improve the game regarding balance issues, map layouts, times to capture. Mm etc.
Because right now I can queue in a match against the top player or against a fresh player. Not against someone on my level. Something a competitive mm may solve.
The idea here, it’s to improve every possible scenario so the game can have that competitive aspect. As a side thing so it’s only for a specific playerbase that want it.
Right now there are Alot of points in-game that need a serious improvement even for casual game.
First, i dont ask for competitive mode in a night. The game needs improvement for sure. However, I put this suggestion is i feel the game has the potential and i wish people can start thinking about it.
Current game has not matchmaking mechanism, maxed players will be assigned to play with brand new players…it is not a good experience for new players.
Ranked system encourage people improve their skills. How the way ranked game will be done need some discussion though. May be a small squad (3-4 soldier) with 5 players each side, maps need to be specific for ranked game. I still think bots should be at least limited in ranked game. they are not good enough against human players…
