Hello everyone,
I just joined the game for like 2 weeks, and I usually play Enlisted with friends. (They have played for at least half a year.)
We just discussed what kind of change can be introduced to this game for making Enlisted a better competition environment, here’s the summary.
Problem 1, about abandoning the game.
Abandoning games is a notable problem for Enlisted. Since AIs will replace the deserters. While the AIs obviously cannot do the jobs that players do, the situation will be only worse and leading to a loss.
Solution 1, adding regular penalties like other MOBA games do.
When a player abandons a game, he will be banned for queuing for 10 mins. But, players who joined the game less than 3 mins can abandon a game freely without penalty since sometimes people may queue for the wrong faction for their daily quests.
Problem 2, there is no chat function in the game lobby.
It should be a basic function for a multiplayer game. I’m surprised that we don’t have such a function.
Solution 2, simply adding one.
Problem 3, many of the daily quests are annoying.
The daily quests look like they are designed to encourage the players to do different game plays, but we actually feel that many of the daily quests are placing shackles on players. In our opinions, most of them can be simplified or merged.
Example 1, “destroy X tanks” and “destroy X aircrafts" can be merged into “destroy X tanks or aircrafts in total”.
Example 2, “completing a game in Berlin Axis for 1~3 times” can be simplified into "completing a game in Berlin once“. To do a map 3 times is obviously too long since a game usually takes 20~30 mins.
Example 3, “be the top 10%~50% players in a match” can be simplified into “be the top 50% players in a match”. We can only have 10 players in each team, not 30. The top places are too hard to reach for normal players, but we think it’s acceptable to ask for an average performance.
Problem 4, many factions in certain champions are generally considered as “difficult mode”.
For example, the Allied faction in Normandy is generally considered as a difficult mode due to the Axis faction usually having a better terrain advantage. I believe this problem has bugged the devs for many years since they want to reproduce the actual war scene. But the game will result in an unpleasant situation - the difficult faction will have many AIs and players in difficult factions often abandon the game unless they are doing daily quests.
Solution 4, we don’t like to lose, but we all love the loot.
Since it’s always impossible to design a balanced PvP game, you can just do it in a reversed way - design all the champions to have obviously one difficult faction and one easy faction. For the players who join the difficult faction, they will receive a “struggle exp multiplier” at the end of the game like 1.5x. So both of the players will be serious about their match rather than some players fooling around in a difficult faction to lose faster to finish the daily quests. This will be great since all the content of Enlisted is about competition. To finish a game with your full mind with your opponents, there is no better thing than it in a competitive game. Also, don’t forget to remind the new accounts to join the easy factions with UI.
These are the feedbacks we want to share to the devs.
Please leave your comments if you feel these comments useful… or awful.
Thanks.
