Return Gold Orders to the Battlepass / Event rewards

Introduction

Who here can remember the last time they were truly excited about an event? I can’t. I completely ignored the Soviet vs Japan event and this White “Batshit” MP 40 (credit goes to @Luvs2spooge ).

Why? None of the weapons really appealed to me. The Fedorov seemed lame, considering an AVT 40 would perform better. And the Type 2 is just so much better than the Thompson. Same goes for the White MP 40. I could buy the literal same thing for 300 silver.

We’re all aware of the dropping player count, specifically Event / Battlepass engagement. How can we fix this? Through the simple addition of Gold Orders. What we want is choice, and that’s something Gaijin hasn’t given us for a long time.


The solution

It’s simple really. Just bring back Gold Orders. However, it would function a little differently than before. If I recall, the devs made this style of Battlepass / Event because it was supposed to:

“Give the players more rewards”

That was traditionally one of the biggest issues. If I’m not mistaken, the original Battlepass only gave one Gold Order, premium and free. And that was right at the end. Now premium players can get 4 weapons (3 halfway through) and free still get 1. However, I still feel this is a pretty poor system, and can be improved.


The Difference

We don’t need the 8 different Gold Order weapons per faction. I think 2 per faction should be plenty (one low tier BR I - III and one high tier BR III - V). I think that’s the biggest reason why they stopped doing it - too many weapons offered, meaning less rewards to offer in the long run.

I would also award them differently. Instead of lumping them all at the end (or most in the middle), I would separate them evenly. I also feel free players should get 2 Gold Order weapons each Battlepass. So, for example, Premium would get 4 Gold Orders, and they would be unlocked every 25% of completion. Free players would get 2 Gold Orders, spread across each 50% of completion.

They should also bring back Gold Order soldiers, since half them I don’t even use, being squad / class types I’m not interested in. Again, they would function similarly to the weapons. Premium get 2 Gold Order soldiers, and Free get 1 Gold Order soldier. The Free Gold Order soldier would be unlocked at the 75% mark, and the 2 Premiums would be unlocked at the 25% and 75% mark.


Conclusion

What does everyone think? I hope it makes sense. I’m really excited if the Gold Orders make a comeback, since Event and Battlepass weapons just don’t appeal to me anymore. I’m sure that if Gaijin reimplements them, the player count and Event engagement would increase.

You know what really sucks is that people who started playing Enlisted at a later date don’t have access to 80% of the crap that those who have been playing for several years already have. I have tons of BP weapons I bought back before Gaijin had a complete brain fart and closed the Battle Pass store. People who started before the merge, and were not complete “idiots” (like me) and sold off all their old legacy squads for peanuts have squads that newer players will never have access to, well, apparently unless you live in China :wink:.

The events “used” to be cool and something to look forward to, now, to put it quite bluntly, “they suck”. By offering only certain “select” weapons as the prize, they’re taking the excitement out of the event, as I, and apparently others are not going to play the event if the rewards are not deemed worthy of our grind time. So, IMOP I would think this hurts player numbers in events, so, wouldn’t it be wiser to just go back to opening up the BP store and giving people gold orders? :thinking: Or, just continue to listen to people spout their dissatisfaction over the events? I constantly scratch my head over decisions this company makes, but they are consistent. They consistently seem to make the wrong decisions. :rofl:

First order of business, give people what they want, not decide for them what you want them to have. :wink:

In my opinion, just bring the gold order store back, the BP will have four gold orders, three in BP Premium and one free but instead of the free gold order being the last reward it should be the first for players to choose the weapons they want and if it is worth buying the BP

That’s too cheap. Premium should have a difference, but 4x is just too much. I (and most of the Enlisted playerbase) would prefer if we got more as F2P.

So two gold orders in BP Premium and two free?

That’s regarding weapons. Gold order soldiers would be 2 for premium, and 1 for f2p.

You people are sick in the head, if they brought back the gold order shop it would be an exact copy. That is two not three or four gold orders. You would get choice but only by getting half as many weapons. Second do you not allow remember how slowly new bp weapons were added. You are not asking for the old system but a hybrid again not going to happen. Were only getting four because it’s four copies of the same weapon. It’s balanced for four copies of the same weapon not four weapons mix and match. Hell I would love to be proved wrong, but if the choice is between 2 weapons of choice and four copies chosen for me I’ll take the four

Honestly removing it was a pointless decision by Cringeijn.

I’ll just leave it here. We tried to save GO, but we couldn’t.

We could reestablish it as the Gold Orders Resurrection Committee (GORC).

I mean yeah, its a no brainer, it sucks when there is an event, and the rewards are either meh af, or for a nation you dont care for (or in my case, for a BR I wont play, BR5 that is).

Yeah. I’m not sure if it’s a premium currency, or one they earn through tasks, but you can buy old legacy squads.

I don’t know why they can’t implement it for the rest of us.

The real question is: why they didnt do it yet ? (Sale old legacy squad )

But, China got a different version of Enlisted ? Only them ? But can we play against them ?

Sale for me. I play max br3 since they too many proto sf riffles/tanks + jets.

Adding some cool bolt actions, or news APC , REAL low/medium tanks it’s so easy for them…just bring a vehicule from WT (milk truck with mg for riders for exemple)

Well the whole point is premium players would retain 4 weapons of their choice. Free to play would only get 2.

Yeah, from what I understand. Maybe @Renamed2699 could explain better or knows someone else who can.

Not just the BP weapons… I would be happy to have a chance to get removed guns like MP 717 etc… instead of same guns over and over again
