Stupidity of "Even Fight" event

disclaimer: some information regarding rewards may be inaccurate, so i will edit math later with accurate info if provided.

Anyways i was just thinking is even fight event really worth reward wise or is it really pointless
here are the rewards

so IIRC you get 3x 100% boosters for 300kills and 5x 100% boosters for 10 wins (i dont remember if there was a limit on them, but i will take it as unlimited for purposes of calculation) and 3x 100% boosters for first place (think it was one time). also you get 1 silver weapon order for every 3 wins(limited 1 per day). and idk if there were some silver troop orders but they are irrelevant.

i will use leaderboard info for average kills.

first 3 people on leaderboard now on average have 62 kills per battle. you may enter your numbers from event and see your profitability.
cause our player is above average we will give him 60% WR in even fight event for soloing.

so to get 300 kills with 62kills average game you need 5 battles. so 5 battles to earn 3x 100% boosters.
to get 10 wins with 60% WR he will need to play ~17 battles. so you get 5x 100% boosters for 17 battles.
in 17 battles you can earn 300 kills 3 times. so overall you earn 3boosters*3+5boosters= 14 boosters.

congratulations you have earned 14x 100% boosters for playing 17 battles. well 17 if you managed to get first place in there somewhere.

and that is only if you average 62 kills like top 3 players in this event. average player will be lucky with 30-50 average kills.

so lets see more negatives from this event. IIRC in last event you didnt earn any silver or bronze orders from xp earned in event battle. i will assume (so this may be wrong) that this stayed the same in this event also. if you earn ~7k xp per match (as f2p), 17 matches mean you could have earned 119k xp. that would translate into ~5 silver weapon orders (25k per order) and ~40 bronze weapon orders that you didnt get for 1 silver order for 3 daily wins (you can stretch this to ~3 days playing if you want to maximize daily rewards). yes you can get it all back with boosters, but that is only if your final tally gets you at least 1 booster per battle. and later MM doesnt put you in shitty game modes where your xp earning potential is wasted.

so reward wise this event is total bust. you get 1 booster per 1 played battle (and that is if you managed to have above 60 average kills). so to use those boosters you need to play another 17 battles. and those battles may contain game modes/maps you dont like and usually quit. but if you didnt play event you could have easily played 34 matches and those matches would be on your term with game modes and maps you like to play.

and only other rewards that are left are time limited decals and avatars. that you get for 60 days. woohoo.

so what are the positives?
you get to play with full human teams.
you can get a taste of premium account
so what are negatives?
rubberbanding cause server is overpopulated
overall you may be in loss xp/bronze order/silver order wise compared to time and effort you put into the event.
there is no permanent reward (even that shitty portrait would be something)

rewards are so shitty that you need to be top player not to lose potential xp and orders you could have made while not playing this event. @1942786 if you plan to have another similar event, you need to boost rewards considerably.

Pretty lack luster. Not many seem to of participated and its not hard to see why. Alot of portraits and name tags that expire? Phhh waste of time.

and not to mention wasted xp and time you could have easily earned by playing normal games. i mean top players in event barely broke even with boosters. only saving grace for few of them is that they played with their friends in squads so they had higher WR, but still they earned ~1x 100% booster per 1 battle. imagine how badly average player is getting penalized by playing this event. they are basically losing xp, silver and bronze order by playing event that should reward them… and they have terrible experience cause servers are shit.

Event rewards are lackluster and not worth playing for. Silver orders and XP boosts? I reached the end of the battle pass ages ago and can get those by just playing normal matches.

the event matches even use your boosters

i just wanted to show that not playing event will earn more xp/bronze/silver for average player, cause even top players will struggle to earn equivalent number of boosters as the number of matches played. so if top player on average needs 17 matches to earn 17 100% boosters, that player could have played 34 normal squad matches for same effect. so at best this event gives you same number of xp/bronze/silver you could have won if you played normal matches (for top players) and at worst only a fraction of that (for everyone else).

so yeah event reward suck.

Just to give perspective:

I only played ONE (1) match in the event, which luckily happened to be a relatively high score victory with 1st place.

That was enough for me to end up in the top 50% :sweat_smile:

well i played few matches… didnt even place on leaderboard… cause i deserted shit game modes…

Haven’t touched this shitty event at all nor I will any of the same in the future. An event with random set up squads, soldiers and weapons plus stupid rewards = not worth of my time. I hope next event will be that we used to have and should have but this time either Normandy or Moscow. However I think it’ll be the same like it was for Stalingrad. They will release another campaign (Pacific) behind pay wall and then shortly after that the event will happen in that theatre.

Didn’t touch the event. Pretty much no rewards

Honestly unlike gun game this was not interesting at all, rewards are crap at best, i only got the one time rewards and never played it again, also silver weapon order only if you win a match, in a game where you lose 80% of the time due to bad team or bad server connection, nothing was interesting in this event

I like the German top 50% mg30 soldier portrait.

Hopefully I get it.

Besides that, I don’t care much. Don’t enjoy the art style on the new portraits

if portrait was permanent i would somewhat understand people who played it, but getting it for only 60 days…

somehow i got 55 or so position even to i just played 11h.

the german with mg30 is permanent tho its the only thing i was after …

Yup. When I realized they expire I just wondered why I even tried.

I played this event every day not for rewards but for the experience.

Starting a game and actually having a chance to enjoy a competitive match as Tunisia Axis or Normandy Allies without constant obnoxious PPSh/FG spam, and actually having human plyers on both teams is what Enlisted should be.

The additional element of random campaign and faction only adds the fun for me.

Just wish instead of questionable rewards like “decorators” and portraits (neither of which I give a rat’s ass about because I’m over the age of 11) we’d actually get some XP counting towards campaign progression.
Sucks to have an awesome Tunisia Axis match with lots of XP wasted when ou know in the “Normal” game you’ll keep getting roflstomped by Thompsons and BARs.

Yeah I don’t get why people like the portraits so much. Are you really about to spend multiple days in a row sweating your balls off for…portraits? That expires? Like you don’t even get to keep it?

Any event that doesn’t have rewards like gold orders, unique squads, unique vehicles, or event weapons is not really worth investing much time in IMO.

I did play a small handful of matches, and I have to assume not many people even cared to play the event since I was able to get the top 25% portrait reward.

some people are collectors, so they like to collect everything. from useless weapons to portraits. but temporary ones… you cant collect them.

also i would even mind if event didnt have gold orders or unique squads and weapons, if it was actually worth playing for e.g. boosters that last week or two or month and you get enough of them so that average player can actually have profit at the end of the day. now top players can get break even and average players are heavily in negative.

but yeah i would prefer events with gold orders and unique squads/weapons/vehicles.
