Play any side

There seems to be an issue with play any side at the moment in that you invariably get put on a weak side - I’m assuming due to there not being many players opting for play any side, so you get dropped into a team where there’s the fewest human players. Last night I ended up 4 times in a row on Moscow allies with unranked/bot team mates.

This needs to be incentivised to make it more popular and useful.

Any xp earned with play any side ticked should let you apply it to any nation of your choice, not just the nation you get put on.

There should also be xp boosters on offer for it though. Maybe even a battle pass daily, weekly task or event task for playing a significant number of games with play any side ticked.

This is a known issue since the game came out. The solution should have been no option to pick sides. (I know that would have made people upset, but it is what it is) Instead we got the merge that has the same problem.

In the old game I’d agree, but at least post merge (which was necessary) you can’t expect people to agree to randomly grind 4 nations.

Nobody would be forced - just incentivised.

But that’s also why I think being able to allocate your XP to the nation of your choice would help.

I just want variety, that’s why I want to use it.

Everyone knows which faction is stronger, so players just run away from the weak side
and join the strong side.

Then DF will buff that weak faction to attract more people to play, but even if the faction is balanced, players are still unwilling to come back because they have formed a habit.

So DF continued to buff, making it overpowered, an nerf the faction which is originally strong. So players just changed side and flood to the new op faction. And nothing changed after so many balances, players still crowding at strong side, they just changed a faction.
