This game is unplayable when quarter to half of your team does nothing of use.
Someone who sits in spawn calling in bombing raids all game should literally be kicked for inactivity.
Other dude kept chasing and killing enemy bomber call ins…obviously way after they dropped the bombs. And obviously he ended up with the most score in the game, despite being worse than a bot that could have at least sat in the objective and help defend.
People just refuse to play the fucking game at all, you sit on defence, no one attacks and the map time outs, or you can’t defend because half of your team won’t leave fucking spawn
And don’t tell me to play in a group…then you have ~99% winrate and die of boredom almost every single match either way
well, enlisted playerbase is mostly made out for half by console players, and lots of casuals.
i don’t think there really is much that can be done to improve the quality of players.
nor there should be one.
i suppose it’s very subjective to what is fun and what isn’t.
after all, it’s sort of a sandbox game.
and that’s what good of enlisted.
it doesn’t really matter if you lose or win.
( outside perhaps the XPs or boosters ).
you just play an endless and rather meaningless battle after another to get more toys and use against the opponents.
best way to enjoy enlisted is probably by setting goals, ironing out some of the squads… and just try to have fun regardless of the outcome of the battle.
either that, or start become a modder and create new scenery / units for your self.
that’s mostly how i see it and kinda play. ( must admit. playing full luftwaffe / volkssturm units, or full paratroopers, UK etc can be fun and a guilty pleasure of mine. inspite of the not so good squad composition )
but… as you are in a clan, try perhaps to host more clan matches there?
i’m not sure what you would expect to happen when you start to ban 65% or more of the playerbase just because they don’t play like you want them to.
I used to get annoyed at feeling like playing the game solo to win.
But now i have everything and dont really care if the team doesnt gel.
After a few 1000 matches of being the boots on the cap, i rarely go near it now, I spend my time claiming air superiority or being annoying on the enemies side of the objective. If im destructive enough players or bots sometimes accidently take the cap, if not ill take the small victory of the accolades and silver i made
Ill make my own fun. If i win the air completely thats a win to me
I am not speaking about regular people
I’m talking about the ones who are outright griefing. Sitting with a radioman squad deep behind your own spawnpoint and constantly blocking radio call-ins with bombing runs that never hit anything is just griefing. Never getting a kill on an objective or touching an objective as an infantry soldier should just kick you out of the game after 5 minutes
I do end up doing things like this, because some matches are just completely pointless and it’s the only way to at least stay somewhat sane
But in the end it’s a vicious cycle - this game won’t make any sense when everyone just doesn’t give a damn about anything and just goes to the edge of the map to sit in a corner. What’s the point?
I know for these task based events, I grind out the 3 easy tasks in 2-3 matches before moving onto the last “do x number of battles task” and just mess about, either larping as a sniper, air supremacy or becoming the second coming of engineering Jesus.
I mean a voice comms system would be really nice, local or global take your pick. Frankly I think this game needs more communications, not to mention I would love to salt that comes from it.
