Enlisted wasn’t released a couple days ago, its been playable for years. NMS wasn’t a basically fully completed game that people spent days playing and money on only for it to change fundamental gameplay aspects. If they wanted to do that they should of just released a new game
This like if Hello Games was like “Instead of infinite galaxies we merged all the planets into one big galaxy” and then emptied out all your freighters and spaceships.
And who cares what people were saying? If it wasn’t ready to be released DON’T RELEASE IT! They should know better than anyone what state the update was in. It’s ridiculous where this game is at compared to just a few days ago.
Which is basically expected, The maps are small and suited for that, A larger map would allow for much more freedom but could also feel more like an MWIII zombies map ordeal where you are all on one team but you are not all working together.
“Playable”
Tell that to Berlin USSR, Moscow Axis, Tunsisa allies (post paras), Tunsisa axis (pre paras), Pacific axis. and those are just the ones I played and knew were basically all but dead.
The merge brought many issues, but many fixes, Should they remove those too? Also you basically want them to scrap all the work they’ve been doing for months perhaps even half a year and just reset the game back to bot farms? hell why don’t they just also shut down the servers and say “We flat out can’t make the game you guys want, This is the best choice we have.”
They shouldn’t have released it but they were being pressed on and on and I guess they felt they can iron the rest out via bug fixes and such, Hopefully it would be better, No one likes a bad product, No one likes a terrible update, They have alot of work ahead of them but give it time and I bet the merge will be better, But who knows maybe in a year or two I’ll be coming back and saying you were right.
Tbh, I’d love a horde mode, A team of like 5 as you said vs a team of 10-20 bots + their A.I squad members, Maybe later on we could expect that if the A.I can get better.
I literally had a winning percentage in all of those except Berlin USSR. People always hopped around campaigns for a month or two at a time. Plus if you had one or two of your friends playing with you basically anything was winnable IMO.
And of course not, I literally just want campaigns back and the tiers gone. I can live with the tech tree and the perk system and currency is better than it was before. (Although the fact the monetized silver is icky)
Who knows maybe I’m wrong and this does bring in a lot of players (although I doubt it nobody says “Oh I love War Thunder’s progression and matchmaking system”), all I know is I probably won’t be around to see whether I am or not
i don’t see inherently anything wrong with less players matches.
especially for those players who either are relatively new, aren’t particularly above average, and people who just wants to play a game after a long day of hard work.
and that is coming from someone who isn’t afraid to take down every tryharder that i come across
but honestly, yeah.
enlisted should appease to more players.
and that is, making a matchmaker with lower population, heck, even pves as long are challenging and long. etc. ( with daily cap xps for those matchmakers or generally prevent bot farming being more rewarding than base game matchmaker )
but not gate keeping and making experience miserable for those who just wants to play a gorgeous looking ww2 game.
I can agree with newer players being given into these special games where it’s a team of real players vs a team of full on bots, Perhaps allowing them to try it out for a bit as a mode, Low rewards and such as it’s more for training.
But if the OP wants every game to be 1V1 real players and like 9 bots that’s stupid.
i am 90% sure that DF said that new player with scrub tier everything are locked into what’s basically the noob playground. where they mostly (if not always) fighting bots.
not sure how that works out tho, is it for all default gear squad? or is it time/progress gated like if you’re 1 month old player/have BR2 gears you’re kicked into the normal queue?
and i don’t think i would want a match where either or both sides are mostly bot player isntead of actual player. you might have fun mowing down mostly bots, but i don’t. they’re boring and more likely than not you are not the one getting high score point because they don’t deploy vehicle or other things that you can destroy for extra points.
oh, sure, one or two player will rack up sick 3K points or maybe 5K. but everyone else would probably only gain like, 1K max, in a boring way that didn’t teach you actual method to play against other people too.
No, the update with many players made the game 10x more fun. It is fun to not be the onlyone building rallyes or playing infantry and have some dedicated air support, marking matters. Game is far more fun. I hope it stays that way and always tries to fill ppl even if longer queues.
Also it’s fun when the enemy fights back and it’s not a total bot stomp.
Then just make player choose what mode they want to?plsy the more intensive 10v10 game or the more relaxing 2-4on each side with rest of them are bots. If more people choose tonplay the relaxing mode then lets see what player really want
