Fun experiment

Suggestions
1

So, now that the rift between starter weapons and fully automatic easy mode weapons has been dug even deeper (because reasons), I’d like to suggest a “fun” alternative to balance out heavy spam of automatics:

Let’s limit the TYPE of squad in everyone’s lineup to 1. So no more 3 smg squads and 2 lmg squads. This way, everyone could “enjoy” the most shunned weapon classes such as the BA and (now) semi autos. Full auto rifles will probably get nerfed as well soon, so it would be “balanced” for everyone, especially newcomers…

What do you guys say? (Eheheh I love social experiments)

Edit: Mmmh I initially intended this post as a joke… But now that I think about it it would be a genuinely good idea to prevent power creeps and full auto spam of decimating new players… :neutral_face:

@GROSSE_KAISER Ppl suggested me to tag you as the topic and idea behind it might be of interest.

we could also just straight up limit automatics such as
m2= assaulter
fg= gunner
avs= possible gunner or assaulter

this is something that needs to be done in the future as it is an exploition to use automatic weapons only

We could ALSO. But creeps using ONLY smgs squads must be limited too now, since new players won’t be able to compete with their single low end smg squad and now weak (in cqb) semis vs guys using ONLY full auto smg and lmg squads. No more there would be power creeps like this:

It does, sadly. We did NOT need it before, because it was easy to survive encounters in cqb using semi. Now smgs rule Supreme.

i say hell no that’s all im using now screw the m1 c and m1g its full atuo or nothing

how about we do both?

how it is an exploit to use full atuos again why

If they would have applied it to the select fire rifles semi auto mode as well, I wouldn’t even mind this change.

The way they implemented it just makes it look like they want to implement some crazy power creep.

what’s the point of giving you different squads if you can spam that of the assaulters, is an exploit you can’t use the same squad every respawn

one 1 smg per squad?
only one mg for squad?
only 1 fg per squad?

I think he means you can only have squad of that type, so only 1 smg squads, only 1 engineer squad or 1 lmg squad

I like some of these ideas. I proposed weapon valuing and squad point limits some time back that would in essence enact similar restrictions. I hope they find some way to get it right here.

I am still trying though, changes or not.

Now we are talking (but only if I can finally upgrade my PPK/MP41 squad).

In truth I’m sad it’s coming to this, but their (the devs) bizzare decisions are making this a necessity. From what I’ve read on the forums, the ONLY people glad/ok with the change are very high lvl already, and as such are unaffected. Strangely enough, they also are the only ones benefiting from that nerf. New players certainly are not.

Thought about it and insta deleted it. Dont want the devs to take this joke serious and do the same shit like Reto did.

Speaking of that it’s exactly what they seem to be doing at the moment. Same as retomoto, but with WAY more premiums (also pricier) :frowning:

Yup. I’m trying to play through with the weapons, it actually effects my wife playing more than me.
I dont want to become that guy who min/maxes.
And I’m a high level player.

The one thing that I always loved is running mixed weapons squads. Gave me lots of flexibility. And the G43 was in a good place. The M1 even before could have used some love.

Oh well I could rant for days on all these issues.
Hopefully like the Bolt Action nerf, they revert and find another way.

Heh, can you imagine logistical costs to put squads into battle. Oh the hell it would become. Let’s not go giving them ideas now.
