This would help prevent what has happened in the past two events where one side dominates and all the sweaty players join main that faction (leading to boring as hell steamrolls). If you really are the best, then you should be able to perform on both sides.
I would also be for removing the ability to group up in events since that makes it pretty easy to stomp. With mandatory join any team, it should make it a little harder to just queue snipe to end up together.
How about… NO!
Not everybody is leveling up all the nations and if I don’t wanna play a certain nation , I DON’T WANNA PLAY A CERTAIN NATION!
Then you wouldn’t participate in the event, simple as. Just like anyone who isn’t level 3+ on either faction currently.
How about dont make event wen the reward is a stupid timed name decoration, i think darkflow can do better event and they already proved this
Nah two little bombs beside your name are totally worth the suffering (as soviets)/boredom (as axis). /s
Oh and if you get 1st!! your reward is temporary! Congrats for sweating your balls off, here is something that will be gone in a few months. Give some silvers are cool weapon skins/camos/soldier outfits, something.
Don’t agree in forcing players into a random side. Even tho i wouldn’t care at all since I play everything.
As for prices, it’s more for the position for me. Even if they add a squad weapon or vehicle, I rather play for a nice position on the leaderbord
Got to agree, its mostly absolute boring and when u dare to play the “bad” side you’re most matches only with dead fish in the pond to get steam rolled. They certainly should do something, like how about PROPER BALANCE. Except Tunisia balance seems to be broken hard everywhere, utterly annoying.
I would rather split the rewards like actually have faction specific rewards like profile icons and titles to that specific faction.
This is the only way I can think of making the event more balanced. Because the way I see it, most events are going to have everyone playing Axis (Normandy, Berlin, Stalingrad). Moscow/Tunisia is a toss up though I expect Moscow will be Axis favored as well.
I just don’t find it fun to steamroll or be steamrolled over and over. I am maxed on both in Stalingrad and have been playing Soviets (because I hate myself I guess), and it has been brutal. I rarely see anyone using something other than bolt actions or the T70. Meanwhile its a full Axis team rotating their 3 MKb squads. Last event in Berlin felt the same. High level Axis vs low/mid Soviet.
Yeah this Is exactly what happend, a lot of ppl didnt join the event.
Not a good event if half of the playerbase dont want ti play It.
I disagree.
If I wanna try out all sides of the event, I wanna be able to do that.
Forcing players to join any side simply increses how many players quit the match before it even starts. It doesn’t solve anything.
or make events more like the modern and moon event that had the same squads for everyone, making it depend more on skill than on level
I sincerely do hope “hardcore” (politically correct definition) leaderboard events keep giving only trivial rewards in the future, and rewards that are actual game content keep being given out in relaxed (although somewhat grindy) events like summer and winter ones, so that most players are able to get them.
Playing as Axis in this event is like clubbing baby seals with MKB’s.
It’s essentially getting in a queue to find where the Russians are hiding and try to horde kills away from the other players for points.
I quit being bothered to play it really, 100% win rate and I haven’t pushed the Russian faction far enough to really give it go on the other side.
I don’t know if making players play both sides is the answer, and I hope they don’t respond with nerfs because that’s a slippery slope. Maybe they should wait a bit to do an event for a campaign till a certain percent of players have maxed both sides, or perhaps offer competing rewards.
Dunno, but like I say, when I’m having more fun just playing standard, it’s a problem.
Two leader boards. One for each faction might help?
