There has to be something to be done anyhow to help new players, perhaps a system where new players can only vs new players for their first 10 matches or something like that?
That and the tutorial has to be overhauled, its such a dull and somewhat buggy mess as it is. Maybe take inspiration from a CoD game and set the tutorial in a scripted mission?
I still can’t comprehend why they didn’t give BR1 vs BR1 a chance. That should be the place to learn and make mistakes without being powercreeped by rifles with repetition that noobs are not even close to research.
This is why I think Confrontation is such a bad game mode. Sure, if you have two good teams then the match should be drawn out a bit. But most of the time it’s my team (Oh lets rush the first point fight and cap, then sit on our hands not cap the second point, shot at the enemy coming to cap the original point, then cap the first point again, repeat until tickets are gone for both sides then zerg the last point and hope we have more people alive to win such a waste of my time.)
I agree with you on this. Too many players only want the high kill count not the win at the end.
This is where the Devs should take a look in the mirror and say hey our game is not as great as it can be lets actually do something about it. Let’s improve the gameplay experience, improve the AI system. So maybe it will get a solid player count and not have to rely on bots for matches. But I mean even if they did have to rely on bots for matches till the player counts went up. If they improved them so that they would do things to win the match I wouldn’t mind and at the end of it all you couldn’t tell right away or by the score screen at the end that you played with a bunch of bots even if you lost the match because the bots actually did something.
I think destruction is the worst for the bots since they don’t defuse or set the bomb. They will literally run into the room with the bomb ticking away and not defuse, even new players will go over an at least try to shoot the bomb thinking it’s a separate device or be looking around frantic for the prompt to defuse.
I think I even met you in one match, lol.
Yeah, we were playing hot potato with the det pack over the Universal Carrier lul
Annoyingly, the game also doesn’t tell you you’ll get barely any xp if you got a ton of score “the wrong way”. Sit in a single tank and get 300+ kills? You’ll probably get less xp than someone who just did mediocre but kept dying doing varied things. Chasing AI bombers is the worst bait of all. You can get tens of thousands of score… And like 2k xp from that fighter pilot
I do like the idea of BR1 facing each other for new players to get used to how the game plays. Even with veteran players loading into BR1 from higher BR’s which is what’s happening with the BR1-BR2 currently. While it will be clear the veterans have better in game skill or maxed out squads, they are still limited by the equipment they can use. So, I think it will balance out for the most part. Only other thing I can suggest is for the first 10 battles or so they face only people that are working their way through their first 10 battles as well. Then they will still be in BR1, but they will be introduced to other BR1s that are just working through the rest of the tech tree or veterans that came down from other BRs.
