I’m really sorry, but once again this game has proven itself to me to be turned into garbage.
I will give a report of my user experience of the last 2 days.
My 9 year old nephew came to stay with his cool uncle (yes, thats me) for a few days.
He calls himself a ‘pro gamer’ and wears a onesie that reads ‘epic gamer’.
He likes nothing more than gaming.
He cant wait to see what game his cool old uncle like(d) to play every day for 2 years…so I show him.
We see soldiers stretched out half across the map. Why is that, uncle?
Soldiers with their headcover loose or missing or just floating in the air. Why is that, uncle?
I build an AT gun which starts to shake so hard that it falls off the mountain. Why is that, uncle?
Stupid AI just standing still waiting to get shot dead by a 9 year old. Why is that, uncle?
Then I take a plane to show him flying and we get to see this:
Why is that, uncle?
Because the game is buggy as hell, my young friend.
I set up some custom battles for him to play against bots but the battles wont load anymore suddenly.
There were more bugs but I’m trying to forget them.
My nephew is surprised by seeing so many bugs and mess.
He has never seen a game with bugs in all of his life.
He asks me why I play this, if it doesnt work.
I say dont know, it used to be better and fun.
The next day, he is back at his own home again, today is a quiet day for me and the last day of the year.
Morning time here, I would like to relax and play a nice game.
I have USA BR 3 selected.
What map will I get? I dont know.
Cant read that information anywhere.
So I get normandy.
Not the map I wanted to play. But I cant choose.
Also, isnt normandy supposed to be BR 5 only?
Once again, I dont know, cant read info that anywhere, used to be BR 5 only I think but could be changed.
Because “if not enough players, you will be put just anywhere against any enemy BR”.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Do you really think I will enjoy myself getting destroyed with BR 3 against BR 5?
Not even the enemy will enjoy that.
The battle itself doesnt tell me in which BR I have been placed.
Do you think that I know all the BRs of the weapons and vehicles that are being used?
Of course not.
So the battle begins.
To my surprise, USA has the strongest team and we take the points quickly.
So here I am, with my BR 3 weapons and planes, my teammates and enemies must have 3, 4 or 5?
No idea.
So I just do my best and fight hard to be useful with my poor equipment.
We win the battle fast in 10-15 minutes.
Enemy is wiped out. Win? Yes. Fun? No.
I try again USA BR 3.
I find myself in the pacific.
Super strong enemy team, probably BR 4? No idea.
I take out my fighters and get shot down within seconds by superior Japanese planes.
They outturn me easily and then I’m dead.
I tried all my 3 fighters, all useless against the better enemy planes.
Wow, great. Having fun yet? No.
Is that how it’s supposed to be? No.
Obviously we get destroyed and lose the battle to leaning-in-the-open-retards.
I try again.
Yeah I’m stupid but I’m just trying to do the daily tasks af this point.
Dont even care about having a fighting chance anymore. Or having fun.
So again I get Pacific for USA BR 3.
Again too strong enemy, we have no chance but try hard and take a few points before we get wasted as we all knew we would.
Is there really anybody anywhere that thinks all this is ok? Or fun?
So for today, after trying just 3 battles, I have already had enough of this mess.
So many things are strange and unclear, bugged, random shit and no usefull info anywhere.
Too many bugs that dont get fixed for too long (I have reported a few, after several months they dont even get acknowledged yet, let alone fixed).
Mixing BR with different BR is garbage.
Playerbase devided is garbage.
Balance is garbage.
Not being allowed to choose the battle location is garbage.
Limiting certain locations to certain BR is garbage.
Seaplanes in Tunisian desert is garbage.
Not being able to play how/when I want is garbage.
I have to check the BR, the time of day that I play and the server that I use (because otherwise I will have no teammates) is garbage.
Deserters because they get a map they dont like is garbage.
Deserters because they dont like the game mode is garbage.
Deserters because the enemy is 2 BR higher is garbage.
Putting my poor BR 3 against BR 5 is garbage (if I race with a Lada against a Ferrari, I will lose guaranteed, dont you people understand that?).
The merge fixed absulotely nothing.
Only made it worse.
You are the steamroll or you get steamrolled.
Player base will finish the research of one army and steamroll the enemy, then change to another army to do the same, and so on…
You should realize that a 9 year old kid is laughing at how bad the state of the game is.
Thats sounds very serious to me.
I would be concerned if this game was my product.
But its not, I did purchase another year of premium account, no idea why I did that, I already regret it.
Simply because I cant sit down and play this game for some fun, when and how I want to.
Isn’t that the purpose of a game…?
Thanks for reading.
This was my user experience.
I’m going to do something else now, no more enlisted today.
Please excuse my rant.
I have a cold so I hope the fever hasnt made my story bad or unclear.
I’m just heavily disappointed. Still. Again.
I read stuff from the game, in the future we wanna do this, we wanna do that, but you cant even fix the current state of the game.
When easy to fix bugs stay present for months, there really is a problem here.
If you are offended, excuse me, I blame the fever.
To all a happy new year and hopefully the game will get better someday…some year…
