Hi,
Firstly, I like the game very much, despite the vaulting bugs.
However, as a competitive player, I would like to see my combat stats, like:
K/D
Accuracy
Headshot %
Score
And etc.
Would be great to have these for different game modes as well.
Imho, I feel like this is one of the core features of competitive FPS. Would love to see this atleast at development stage.
As devs said some time ago - it doesn’t matter how many kills you yet - it matter if your team won.
Talking about competitive FPS when most of your enemies are AI seems not right to me. Especially if soumeone would use that for bragging and showing how good he is.
I agree, however, thats why I stated to have these stats for different game modes.
As an example, “squad” based stats would obviously be higher K/D or KPG, than “Lone Fighter”.
They didn’t oppose the stats being available. They opposed anyone being able to view because it would allow people to stat shame others. They liked the idea of being able to view your own stats and only your own stats
We already have problems with teamwork and cooperation when it comes to capturing points and winning the games. Most players just run around trying to get as much kills as possible - having stats like that would encourage that even more. Players would fear to make their K/D ratio worse, so they would avoid capturing points where sometimes you just need to push harder than the enemy, even at the cost of your and your AI lifes.
Enlisted is not meant to be competitive FPS, where you care about how many kills you get, but rather about winning the whole battles, as a team.
These are mainly because no one is using voice chat. It is just casual gameplay at the moment.
If Enlisted is about winning, then just do leaderboard for “win %” and/or “most wins”, which will lead to more engagement by competitive users.
I don’t understand, how and why would anyone make a FPS WW MMO game, without competitive spirit in mind?
most ignore any teamwork, even when someone is using text chat. I for example ask for marking the targets every time I’m in a plane and situations when I see any reaction are rare.
It seems like devs wanted to do exactly that: they added no leadeboards, no stats, AI bots that just don’t work with competitive playstyle like you seem to understand it. It is all about atmosphere of WW2, not “being the best”
Your competitive spirit can lead you to trying to do best for your team and win the battle, No need for players bragging about their stats (how many bots they killed) and stat shaming other on that behalf.
Second thing: there is even no matchmaking, so new player are thrown into the battle with the veterans, that are fully equipped with the best gear. How does that fit competitive gameplay?
What that shows is that devs did not plan to go into making Enlisted competitive but rather like I said before - it’s all about the atmosphere of WW2 in F2P FPS.
And honestly, I do not understand why you defend the logic so much of this suggestion. It is in “Open Beta” stage, and we here are wasting our time to post these messages, trying to provide suggestions based on experience of the game just to make the gaming experience more fulfilled, more attracted to others.
As a competitive gamer, spending 6-12hours/daily on FPS, I dont see myself playing this game more then 2 games per day without these features. And I am very sure I am not the only one.
Sure, you are free to post your suggestions. But I’m free to disagree with them and provide arguments for my point of view. That’s how this forum works.
Of course, there are many players that would like to make Enlisted competitive. But there are also those that would not like that.
In the end it all depends on what the devs would do.
weather i understand the curiosity of how you actually perform on the battle, but this is already present when you are at the Hero awards battle. when you put your cursor on your soldiers it will show you what they done, and what they did.
but for no reason on earth this game has to be competitive.
for a few reasons,
the first one,
it’s not relevant at all, your priority is objective. not bragging about how many bots have you stopted.
the second reason is, you face most of the bots. like, sure, i can show tons of screenshot on how good i am with planes, tanks 43s yada yada yada. but it’s kinda pointless as it’s not the main objecetive and above all, once more, you are facing bots for the 60% of your time.
another point is, considering that you are keep chaning soldiers, it’s a bit hard to keep track of your soldiers, plus you would lose the one you send at the accademy ( pretty rare those days but, not impossible )
and last problem is, countless time in any fps people become toxic for stats. there is no need to bring that toxicity around here.
plus, it’s going to be a nightmare if someone wants to apply to some clans or stuff like that.
in my personal opinion, i don’t think it’s the case.
Showing these stats for yourself only, not visible to anyone else, should be fine. Global stats such as “average KD for MP40 SMG” could be shown publicly
