-Let us complete the limited-time events for squads and rewards, such as Lunar New Year or Reinforcements Received, in Custom Matches. 20,000 score for event earned over idk 2 hours of playtime every 2 days is still 2 hours of playtime every 2 days, where ever you do it.
-Increase XP earned. Just swap the Desertion punishments and the Custom Match punishments. Currently it’s 0.7x XP for deserting and 0.2x for Custom Matches. Make it 0.2x for Desertion and 0.7x for Custom Matches. Makes Custom Matches useful and increases punishments for desertion, both things that are highly requested in the community.
People have been asking for this stuff since Custom Matches first came out, please show CM’s some love…
Not gonna happen. The point of having those event is to encourage players to spend more time on official match. Giving players the opportunity to easily farm point in custom match will defeat its purpose.
Custom match penalty only applies when you don’t have enough players.
Decrease the penalty will only be useful for farming bots.

2 hours of playtime every 2 days is still 2 hours of playtime every 2 days. The point isn’t to necessarily get people to play on official matches, it’s to get people in the game - which increases chances for said people to spend money. This still works for Custom Matches.
Hell, they can do the same as with XP and reduce your score gain from Custom Matches to make it longer if they want, as long as it’s progressable.

I know it’s to prevent people from farming bots all day every day, but it’s still way too low. A match of Invasion should not be earning a solo player less than 1,000 XP, especially as bots continue to get improved and act more and more like real players with AI using things like rally points and artillery, which didn’t exist when they first encountered bot-farming issues on Custom Matches.
I have calculated that to finish my Germany, which I’d say is already probably 3/4 done, I will have to be in matches for another 29 YEARS. Custom Matches are supposed to have REDUCED progression, not effectively NO progression.
What exploiters? You earn like 400 XP for a Conquest match and 900 XP for invasion at a push. You can’t complete most Weekly Challenges, can’t progress rank, can’t complete the limited time events, earn reduced silver,
No one is earning anything in Custom Matches.
Back then, exploiters farmed exps boosters from BP for whole season, then grouped up and and played the longest matches possible in customs to earn excesive quantity of exps.
All I see is that yet again, communities of CCs adn so would justtake advantage of it in some way. Grouping up to make faster event progress.
And basically devaluing the rarity of event reward.
There’s no reason events could be completed in customs. They are literally made for the sole reason of increasing playerbase in main gamemode.
They exist to increase the amount of people playing the game, which in turn increases the chances of people buying things with real money. That’s still true with Custom Matches.
Btw. Events arent about exps but about battle score.
I’m just talking about progression in general. It takes 29 YEARS just to finish a quarter of the Germany faction’s progression through CM.
Throw in that most new squads and equipment are now earned through an incompletable event, they might as well just remove Custom Matches and Mods as they’re completely useless now.
I’m not against them making it so Battle Score is also halved at the end of a Custom Match, as a “punishment” for doing it in CM and not in normal gamemodes… It just needs to be progressable.
People shouldn’t be locked out from new content just because they prefer a different gamemode. It’s already bad enough they’re locking people out based on time.
The AI is so much more intelligent and fluid than they used to be when exploiting was a problem. They can at least try to increase the progression gained and monitor it to see if it’s a problem still, instead of pretending Customs just don’t exist.
They point is to get more players to fill the official match, so there is less bots in match.
All you need is a tank, you can just spam HE into the zone and keep some distance with enemies so they don’t throw explosive pack on you. Now you are pretty much invulnerable.

No, the point is to get people to keep playing the game so they’re more likely to spend money. I’ve said this like 3 or 4 times now…
Darkflow is a business. Businesses need and want to make money. They don’t really care if it’s 1 person giving them a $1,000,000 or 1 million people giving them $1, as long as they get the money.
I guarantee you that the bosses at Darkflow that introduced these FOMO events did not care for one second if people who participated did it in X or why Y gamemode, as long as they participated.
“All you need is a tank, you can just spam HE into the zone and keep some distance with enemies so they don’t throw explosive pack on you. Now you are pretty much invulnerable.”
People do that in normal multiplayer, what’s your point? Every time I log in to the forums I see people complaining about grey zone campers just bombarding the zone from a distance. The objective is a chokepoint, intentionally, for all gamemodes and for all players, real or AI.
“Well this game is suppose to be PVP not PVE.”
Well no, it’s PvPvE at least. The AI squadmates are a huge selling point for this game, the whole premise includes some form of PvE.
If they didn’t want people playing Custom Matches against AI, then they wouldn’t have added it.
lol in normal multiplayer there is other player that can destroy the grey zone tank, AI can’t do such thing.
lol they literally nerf the income in ai custom match and decrease the number of ai allowed in such matches. Ai is just a compromise solution for the lack of real player.
Don’t need to be. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out businesses want money.

No, but then again AI have this magical ability to instantly 360 no-scope you across the map, see you through walls, and know when you’re sneaking up on them. Unless they’re cheating, real people can’t do that. Playing against both real people and AI have their advantages and disadvantages to them.

Only because a few people found an exploit that Darkflow couldn’t be bothered to actually fix at the time and so just reduced rewards and max AI. It used to be more (proving that DarkFlow can and want[ed] to make it have higher rewards). AI have been improved in all areas since Custom Matches, and the exploit, first existed 2 and a half years ago.
-They now spawn in multiple locations.
-They can now build at and spawn on rally points.
-They can now call in artillery.
-Their aim and general awareness has improved (to the point it’s basically just aimbot).
-They can now throw grenades, including at tanks.
-They now use ammo and weapons better so as not to have 1 bullet left all the time.
-They now use Premium Squads and unique or special weapons (e.g flamethrower).
Do I even need to go on for how AI has improved since Oct '21?
Ai is just a compromise solution for the lack of real player.
No, it’s an intentional selling point for the game. Again, the whole idea that makes Enlisted unique is that you lead a squad of AI soldiers… it’s not a compromise solution, it’s the intended outcome.
