Keep the discussion on topic
We are literally discussing main reward of this event - new Chinese squad/new weapon it comes with.
How is that not on topic?
The part about Asian culture stealing festivity, you even commented on it, or I should remember you forum rule on those kind of stuff
Well, I completely understand, but, umâŚ
- this is still a discussion of a holiday event, in this case its name. In general, it could be worse as it was on 9 May, where on Victory Day the developers announced just discounts on units without mentioning the holiday itself). But ok, if itâs offtopic, then we donât discuss holidays.
- Where is the name of the squad and division? They have always been in the topic, here too some forum rules prevented to write it? Why do people guess who it is?
- discussion of Asian culture is forbidden? I also call it Chinese New Year. As a last this is Spring Festival, which is a direct translation from Chinese.
Thatâs great ! Do the devs consider updating the old rifleman squads from event and premium too ??? Like the lebel one or Type 99 with flag for exemple. They are really cool but the lack of specalists is really a shame.
Not on consoles
I agree they should add engineers to the old squads.
And for the people scared that they have to add a 10th soldier, there are other solutions the devs could consider. if the devs cant do it because they can not remove or add soldiers, then they could for example, add a âcapture pointâ item. That the main guy has a special event mine that makes him able to drop a spawn becon.
This is just one silly idea, I am sure the devs could think of something that works.
I write once again asking for, can you please tone down this Event Stuff in the main menus? itâs all over the screen and looks outta place. Itâs 1 not historical as in Germans, USSR WW2 do not celebrate Lunar Year cmon now so itâs breaks immersion and for me kinda ruins the athmosphere of playing WW2 especially with european factions, and then 2 itâs all over the screen cluttering and confusing when selecting Squads and managing them.
Please tone it down, atleast REmove that Lion that is way too much!
sincerely please thanks
Why I can´t place guns inside the mod editor?
Itâs really not, some of us have been awaiting this weapon for quite some time, and semi too bolt is what this weapon is well known for. Do other weapons have this capability, yes, is that their defining trait as with this rifle, no.
Furthermore, this Chinese squad will now be seen from the deserts of Tunisia too the beaches of NormandyâŚI cannot help but be reminded of that far better system that was tested briefly which limited weapons to certain maps, it would have entirely side stepped this issue which will continue to plague this game.
This Chinese event squad being able to run around in Normandy etc is indicative of a deeper problem; that being the devs veering away from the games original vision. This games community once heavily favored slowing down movement speed and parkour elements, the devs implemented both these changes to much applause. Such a change would seem to never be allowed to happen again with the current development direction. I recall what happened with War Thunder, I was there, now I see it happening here.
Why is every update in this game becoming a monkeyâs paw?
TLDR: Give us bolt action capability, and Iâm seething at the devs lack of stated direction etc.
Yes the B.R coupled with the Campaign Limted system would be THE best to make the game more Historical and Fun as in more flavour and Different Campaigns with their Maps being unique. Now itâs just a cesspool of same shit on different Maps.
THis Games badly needs gamepace and Battle/Fire mechanics slowed down, from Stamina and movement of soldiers, to reloading and aiming which is on a shit level of being very unrealistic, itâs kinda Fortninte/CoD trash BS lvl.
A Couple of tryhards on each Team in say Battle of Berlin in CCQ inside some some buildings and you see what that kinda gameplay and pace leads to, just a shitfest of zerging rushing pray n spray all over wild goose chase that resembles nothign of actual combat. It is unrealistic, itâs boring as fck, no tacticatl thinking to it, itâs frustrating as hell and leads to frustration anger and just general hate of the stupid designed combat design and mechanics.
Enlisted could do with a healthy dose of both Historical correctness with what Tech on which Maps and in same lin-ups AND some realism for Gameplay in Combat, But movement and Gunplay
This. However that âotherâ system wasnât even tested preoperly â one weekend of test server 20 people testing Stewarts coming against Tigers is not âtestingâ, what must have been tested was brs PLUS map links.
The worst part here is that I might understand why the Merge was done and why some of pre-Merge squads found themselves in a weird place since they werenât designed for it:
- Volkssturm squad in business suits in Tunisia
- Moroccan squad in bedouin robes in Normandy
- M8 Greyhound covered in palm branches in Ardennes
What I canât and wonât understand is
- how NOTHING has been done in the YEAR since ther Merge to address those issues above
- how the devs CONTINUE to add more and more stuff like that on purpose:
Volkssurm (!) German soldier with a fur hat (!) in Tunisia with a Soviet (!) PPSâŚ
Are the devs oblivious to the fact that MANY of us players switched to Enlisted from BF/CoD exatly to NOT be forced see stuff like this in our WW2 game?
Btw @James_Grove how is the Cosmetic Filter coming along?
For those pre merge squads, There is Just one solution : let players to choose the uniform according to the campaign and donât lock the customisation for the premium squadsâŚ
For exemple : I want to put britishâs stuff on my Marocan because HA (and no US uniform in Normandy/Pacific or Tunisia)
But⌠Olds players lives doesnât matter.
Lets face it. The Merge did being in good things, like not having to grind the MP40 5 times. However, the majority of what the Merge did was make this game just Fortnite with WWII skins with the BR system, hence Moroccans in Normandy and Chinese in Tunisia.
People are complaining (rightfully so IMHO) about this obvious move away from the âhistorically authenticâ aspect that DF claims in all the videos I see on Facebook and Youtube. But we cant have a BR/Matchmaking system AND pick maps, restrict certain weapons from certain maps, etc⌠Its just not possible.
But we CAN have a realistic mode that is basically the same thing as what we have now (lets call that Arcade Mode) except you take away things like penetration and aircraft leading indicators.
And we can also have Historic Mode, where you can only join a game if you have the correct equipment for that map equipped. Experimental, Prototype, Fortnite-like skins, FG42s in the hands of regular infantryâŚall that crap would be restricted.
Enlisted needs three modes. Arcade, Realistic, and Historic.
Calling Enlisted Fortnite
So trippling the number of ques yep that would be great
Well the devs can
a) not add squads like the Chinese or Germans in fur hats when we KNOW that they will appear in weird maps and scenarios
b) actually spend some time and give some thought to the squads so that for example this squad would be Chinese in the Pacific, but when places on other maps it would automatically change language, weapon and cosmetics to idk Arab volunteers in Tunisia, free French volunteers in Normandy and Belgian volunteers in Ardennes or something
No, why thatâs four times as much work and they would still have the same weapons unless you wanted them to have tech tree garbage.
Iâll take 1 proper WW2 squad over 4 BS squads every day of the week
I may have become a bit cynical overtime given all these changes that have come in recent times, in comparison to what Enlisted used to be when I first started playing like 4 years ago. I say this because I donât really see the problem with having an all Chinese event squad as âterribleâ or game breaking as many people make it out to be.
In fact, I think it opens a path to give more representation to other underlooked nations, even if itâs just in the form of event squads. I personally would like to see âOsttruppenâ squads of mixed nationalities, or other small nations who also took a role in WW2. But the thing which I do get a bit tired of reading after a while is this very âEurocentristâ or âWesternizedâ view of WW2, which I donât agree with. And instead I like seeing it for what it actually was; A major world conflict with many smaller nations involved on both sides, not just the âbig powersâ.
On the other hand some people may find it âcontroversialâ to add them, specially collaborationist nations under the Axis forces, and I understand that (thatâs an entire topic in itself). But it think it would be much easier from a developerâs point of view giving them their appropriate place within the game through the release of dedicated event squads, instead of adding a full tech three, which many would be obviously lacking enough equipment to fully make it into BR V, without straight up copypasting or re-skinning. Of course, I still would like to see Italy or the UK/commonwealth as their own tech three, but I understand why they havenât done it yet, or why there arenât any plans for it in the near future.
Just my two cents in this discussion.
