I will start by acknowledging that Enlisted is doing fine for now, but this is my polite advice I wish to give you and the Devs, coming from a 10 year veteran player of War Thunder:
You see, coming from a long time player of War Thunder, I’ve seen a lot of ups and downs (mostly downs) with War Thunder to the point where after 10 years of playing, due to many factors that are too many to name (mostly issues with repetitive gameplay and slow progression even with a premium account and boosters) my activity there has been reduced to occasional, casual play at low tier. At any rate, this is the main point: War Thunder is a unique game with virtually no competition. This means that the War Thunder Developers, by intention or mistake, can afford to allow many features to upset or anger the playerbase, since there’s virtually no alternative game like War Thunder for players to turn to at this time. Enlisted does not have the same luxury for a very simple reason:
Enlisted has a ton of rival FPS games of varying category, playstyle, etc. to choose from, more than I can even count. In short, rather than (by intention or mistake) ignore the community in issues and concerns large small and in between, it would be in the best interest of Player and Developer alike, to be extra cautious not to make the player base too angry. In short: If not enough care is taken for the game and keeping the playerbase happy, Enlisted will get overrun by it’s competitors which of course, many of us would not want to happen. This does not necessarily mean Enlisted would reach the point of shutting down as a result of this scenario, it would simply mean there would be not very many players left, and any would-be profits would suffer also.
I’m not here to tell you what should or should not be changed in the game at present. There’s just not enough time to go into detail in this post. Rather, I just wish to offer some advice that could prove beneficial in the long run.
P.S. If there’s one thing to take away from this is one thing Enlisted does get right that War Thunder does not: Because Enlisted has essentially an unlimited re spawn system, you don’t get punished for losing your squad too early in a match. You can take a new squad in right away, and plan accordingly. In addition, the varied gameplay and map design allows gameplay to be consistent and enjoyable. Yes, some campaigns favor one faction over another (in terms of player number and skill), but at least gameplay for the most part is consistent, meaning that you can expect a good, enjoyable match even if it ends in loss.
This is my 2 cents on the matter. Hope this helps.
