I’m not happy with unlocking 6 things I don’t care about until I get what I actually want, but I get why the system is there.
If it wasn’t, I’d simply unlock the most overpowered thing in every campaign and cheese my way through the game, and so would a lot of others. Who the hell wants that?
The grind in this game is extremely easy compared to other online games.
Who would have thought that they actually made it extremely slow and frustrating on purpose to frustrate you into paying money to unlock stuff directly?
Grind and hard ? in Enlisted ? Have you ever played WT or similar game where it takes a good player 1+ year to unlock top tier ? I am playing Enlisted as all games F2P since it is F2P and I am in fear that there is only 26 levels… I mean you can unlock top end levels under 2 months probably if you have the time for it.
No it really is, I just made a post about this where I did the math and my estimation is 300-370 hours for a decent player to complete one faction on one campaign.
If you grind properly in WT, only playing 1 nation as well, top tier is only like a month or two of grind. Enlisted isn’t much better as “top tier” also includes maxed out soldiers and weapons here, not just campaign level.
If you have time to play 10 hours a day that’s great, but for people with actual jobs and a life, this may come as a surprise, but time to game isn’t all that common.
I got to lvl 16, halfway to 17 with germany on Normandy, 7 with US, 7 on moscow with germany and russia.
And that’s only with a premium account and playing 1-2 hours a day, sometimes 3-4 hours on weekends. No premium squads used, so it’s not too bad here. There’s a ways to go before it reaches how bad WT is.
I did some calculation, if i get 2000xp a match, and i play 10 matches a day, which translate to roughly 2 hours a day, it will take me over 4 months to finish a single faction in a campaign.
On the other hand, if you get 10k xp a match and play 10 matches for about 2 hours each day, it will take you a little less than a month to finish a single faction in a single campaign.
Its not problem to pay for somthing like a escape from tarkov, or battelfield 1 or 5… but the problem is paying for someting made by gajin. They on purpose make grinding in game hard as hell to force you spending your money. Eventualy, grinding become less problematic because they get used to fix any problem by forcing you to pay more and more. Thats why there is no more space on my SSD for War thunder.
