VE Day, a demotivating and WT type of event

Here here :muscle:

I have the distinct feeling a group of devs had a lot of fun making those two events because the maps felt fun too. They didn’t demand ridiculous commitment, none at all, but if you played for a while you might get some stuff that didn’t affect gameplay.

This tracks with what Barrend says, that the gameplay rules in Enlisted.

These blue ticket events feel more like a marketing or loyalty division move and feel more like an empty sweatshop than a house of love.

I mean, for me the reward was a temporary addition of basically a new campaign. And you don’t even have to grind for it. So I’d say that that’s very good.

Casual alert

This is exactly my problem right now. 25 grenade kills. I guess i can do it in 2-3 hours, then 1-2 games to get 1 armored vehicle kill. That’s not bad as a lone event, but you have to do it 10 days in a row. Last night or before that i played until 9 am to get the tasks done. Now i’m ready for another long break. These tasks take up to 5 hours every day to finish, it’s way too much. Same thing last event, i whined then too but no one cared, same now for sure. And yea there came all the dweebs telling that it takes a match or two to get the tasks done, yea sure…
These events are a good way to burn out players and make them quit. But i guess the same people that buy everything from the store also are willing to grind it every day all the day, so the game publisher is happy. I don’t know if i want to keep doing the event, other games look much more interesting after 4 days of forced grinding.

Well i don’t know, it takes me about two games to ragequit because teammate AI is so bad.

Yea i missed 2-3 days from the start because i didn’t log in daily. And i already have one sword. Only reason that keeps me grinding is my greediness to collect stuff.

pick a campaign with bots (aka berlin) pick russian side, throw explosive on point in the first 10 seconds of the game, 20 kills ez.

I understand if you don’t have the time to do this as a chore but at the end of the day you aren’t missing out on too much either, just a skin or some swords.

well missions/events that require certain amount of kills with certain weapons are stupid. i had problem with smg one cause i only had 2 guys with smg in my squads (ofcourse i could switch them with already grinded assault squads and be done in 1-2 battles, but i didnt want to).
also weekly mission required 30 pistol kills… that just made me play like an idiot rushing with pistol at the enemies. and i only had few pistols equiped. it is tedious…
i would rather have mission that says kill 500 enemies than mission kill 30 people with pistol.

Yea i’m greedy for collectibles, my bad.

I’d like to make my last whine about events. Now it’s 50 FlameThrower kills. Not the best. You have one FT squad with 2 FT’s in it. It takes ages to get to respawn with it. I just played the first game, i chose allied Normandy for having flamethrower squad there and some close combat. Got the airfield hangars invasion, and 1 FT kill in about 20 minutes(?). That’s like 17 hours. I do think my ratio will improve but i just wanna finish this by saying screw this game!! (Why am i forced to play it?).

In my opinion other than MG and flamethrower all tasks were ok. YMMV though as I just don’t have decent mg’s unlocked I believe it should be pretty easy with a proper machineguns.
But MG task could be played on a weekend.

Nothing like that tbh the tasks they put here are pretty casual. The only issue I see is for a new player who didn’t unlock the weapons required to do them yet.

Keeep in mind i am a very casual player at this game and although sometimes i do have games with around 100 kils or slightly more sometimes i spend matches doing completely my own shit cus i am having fun and getting roughly 30-40 frags.

Take small squads of 3-4 people along the flamethrower squad so you can respawn faster if you have flamethrower II (I don’t) i believe you can put both of those squads together in a roster.
And I agree with people that this one was not the best task.

I was lucky to have a bombing map made most of the frags in one battle.

Usually i troll to roll something decent and change it if i have a task i don’t like on those. If i fail i just wait for another reroll. Like it’s fine to do specific stuff for an event like it’s now. But i came here to play the game not the game to play me. So i don’t care much about those.

Yeah, there’s gonna be at least one or three missions that are really lomg to complete. 50 flamer kills is nuts - I guess you could quit every match after using the squad, but the game shouldn’t need to be played that way.

Just waiting for the teabagger in here who blames skill level on that task. He did it in one match blah blah.

Doing your own shit is awesome, I love doing that! I mean, obviously gotta help the match out, can’t wander off all the while your team is hurtin. Depends on how the match is going - those battles where you’re gonna win or lose no matter what and you’re not on a murder streak are good for scouting out new spots or tactics.

Grinding missions this extreme can be a double burn for this kind of play style.

From my experience matches where you quit don’t count.
I had to do an hour long invasion just to get that 1 last kill the other day.

Also 50 flamethrower kills is indeed insane. Having just one flamethrower in each faction, I made 5 kills and realized it would take me at least a week to get 50.

Mostly a matter of luck. I did most of my frags in one game. But in the others i did like 2 and 0 lol.
You just need to be lucky to flame a bunch of units or make a streak. Either waiting for them to come to you and bushwack em or rushing to a particular spot f.e when people try to capture a point or peopple runnin outside of a bunker door.
So totally hit or miss thing.

I did that in Berlin and Stalingrad to roll the victory because i am not playing those and not really interested. Ain’t no shame in my game.

i also roll when it is daily task, or just skip it if i cant… i was doing this for weekly which was retarded, but i can foresee this kind of task in future events.
