After the recent suggestion of silver for battle hero awards, I thought it would be interesting to buff the reward but make the battle heros player nominated.
This way players can’t just spam the various techniques for farming kills and the team can nominate those who contributed the team - which isn’t necessarily the top few players.
Wasting time farming air strikes that have already dropped their bombs being one example I see frequently.
Would the nomination be mandatory or not? Cuz then most players would either just vote themselves or not vote at all.
Secondly stacks could just abuse this due to number advantage of votes.
Thirdly, currently most awards are usually warranted, being given to top 3 players that usually make up for 75% of the team’s effort. The idea you suggest is basically taking a medal from an olympic athlete and giving it to a disabled person. (Yes, the differences between just the 1st and 5th player in team are often ridiculously high not even bothering with the guy in 10th place having 10/15 stats)
Lastly, medals are earned, not given. You must put in effort and be the best at it in the team to earn one. What you suggest is overlooking this effort and I can not really see a reason for a 10th place guy with negative everything to even have a say in the matter of who gets a medal.
It would never work since people are too lazy, too braindead, too selfish and will just leave post game screen without clicking or clicking random names so it will result in me not getting anything for doing well. Remember stacks will always give themselves awards.
I wouldn’t make voting yourself or your stack an option - would just be a quick click for someone who made an effort for the team.
Could even be in addition to existing awards. I know some are already worthwhile, but not all - plenty are flawed.
Just a thought that might award more silver without opening up exploits that could detract from the general gameplay.
And to expand on the idea - not all awards are equal. They should all be more specified and objective based battle heroes should offer a higher silver reward.
For example,
Create an ‘orchestrator’ award for most rally/APC spawns
Create a ‘guardian’ award for points score by defensive structures on a point (not including points just for building - nobody wants spammed structurs)
Things like tactician for kills on objective, objective captures etc should reward more silver.
Eh, not a good idea, they usually make up most of the effort in teams and this just seems straight unfair especially if you wish medals to be assigned not earned. Putting the reward system into the hands of people would just not work overall.
Already in-game, though I am not certain about its requirements to earn. Get it sometimes, but still uncertain about it, though I belive it is as you mentioned, the one given for Rallies and APCs given the image.
Currently medals are very specific in regards of doing great KD (One-man army, Armor eater), doing great as a specific class (Best eng, pilot etc), being the best in type (Best inf, vehicle) performing certain action (Grenade master, Builder) and others I do not remember off the top of my head.
There is already is a medal for objective push/defense if I am not mistaken. This one, though not certain about the requirements.
Also using a real match example, how would you work out this kind of a match. Voting in this instance would be just plain disregard for the effort put in. Just saying I would not be willing to part with a single medal, because there was a clear gap, no a canyon, of difference and giving people the option to vote about best “whatever” would be just a slap in the face.
The biggest issue I have with this idea is simply that I have no idea who did what. During the battle, all soldiers are simply a gray blob for me.
And if I should look at the score board to see who deserves an award based on their stats, this can be done much simpler automatically.
Stupid idea because people vote will just be selfish and vote themselves or quit voting overall. Achievement is earned, not voted by bunch of shits. Already silver is a huge issue so this will make it worse.
Grenade master, and melee master is hard to earn achievement on its own unless you fight braindead Germans who act like npc all the time. So try focusing on that. If you want to get another one, be engineer in the Soviet side. Literally people barely makes rallies and fortifications. Use vehicles in all of the faction since it gives you award for it.
If a person is good enough
No need to rely on voting
Because his medals prove it
But I think there really needs to be a medal called Universal Cannon Fodder that multiple players can get.
Used to reward players who are responsible for all the work but do not receive medals because they are not the best in each event.
Add a medal call “Jack of all trades, master of none” that bunch of people can get by just being bad as killing, but can do other stuff like good squad commanding.
Not true, it works in HLL after a battle. Just good manners to help boost newbs or commend actual good officers
Hell let loose is a community controlled type game which isn’t fast paced unlike enlisted which is fast paced arcade war game where it does contain community servers, but most people just plays on squad. If its a option for event/custom server, I would agree. If its squad matchmaking, then its shit
Different manners, different community overall, different gameplay style. Will not work in this enviroment. You could say the same system works even in Overwatch/TF2 and it still would be incomparable.
With the amount of awards in-game, I see no reason for this type of award distribution nor any “participation awards”. You get your medal once you work for it and some are quite easy to get if focused upon since not many even strive for them (Melee, Builder, Tactician), yet they still have the same reward multiplier than the more contested ones. Not everyone deserves immediate recognition just because they know how to press a “play” button.
Optional to vote.
Can’t vote for you
Can’t vote for those in your party
Can’t vote for those on your friends list
Can’t vote same person twice in one week
Can’t vote for disconnected players
Can vote on your team or enemy team
Each votes grants +5% XP to that player getting said vote
Promote good teamplay
Would this be alongside the current medal awards? If you would leave the current system and add in this “voting reward”, then yeah, go ahead. I would doubt the impact of it, given the measly 5% XP reward, but I would not mind it, if it at least partially boost morale.
Given you can encounter the same person more than three times a day, if playing during certain time periods, I think this rule is generally stupid.
It would be along side current reward yes. The weekly limit is meant to promote giving it more players overall if possible. 5% is per vote… So it could stack up quickly.
Would like to see “survivalist” award for making the least amount of spawns and give an added award in silver currency too. Although i guess someones gonna camp it safe just to get it…
If you can’t vote for the same person twice in a week then you don’t need to worry about not voting friends or squadmates
No reason to leave people with friends completely out of the picture
For contribution to victory is the same thing
