Where's the positivity?

Mess Room

I have recently began using this forum and 90% of what I’m seeing is so many “doomer” posts about how much Enlisted sucks and is wasted potential and suggestions to make Enlisted like other WW2 games- so I ask, why do you stick around/not just play the other games then? Personally I love this game but if you think the Halloween skins are ‘fortnite’ or insist on removing AI squad soldiers, why spend your energy making the same forum topics daily to something not going to change/already in game? why not focus on the good parts and have fun?

I’ve played since the CBT and enlisted has never been Red Orchestra or some crazy milsim, it’s a fun arcade shooter with realistic elements, I’d rather it doesn’t become something it isn’t and never has been.

Well the event caused a lot of people including me to get annoyed, I’m back to base game so back to positivity for me, with some paid for squads…

I get that part, having a month long BP event is pretty stressful especially if F2P

it wasn’t f2p… it took my entire Enlisted time and countless hours / times of frustration, bp was paid too

In the end there’s a not-insignificant amount of long term dissatisfaction with the direction of the game and the developers, at least for me.

  1. Continuing slippery slope towards less historically accurate game. Yes, enlisted was never fully historically accurate and that’s fine - but in the end it is also a balance discussion, where I personally feel that not only are we going into the wrong direction, but now the devs are trolling themselves and us (their famous april fool skins post) with the shit they are implementing into the base game from the various zombie events. And they might implement things to hide them from those that don’t wanna see them see point 3.

  2. Half-assed, half-baked implementation of a lot of stuff in the game. Whether it’s the griefing-prone new pay event, or the lack of customizations options on premium guerillas, there’s just a general lack of ability or interest from the devs to deliver solid products. After a while it gets tiring to get the 3/5 experience.

  3. Loss of trust. I lost a lot of respect and trust towards the devs with the whole Stalingrad situation and the way they continuously failed to respect the promises they made at every. single. fucking. point. of that saga. Promises that nobody forced them to make. I generally trust the devs very little and whatever is said, I just assume the worst and/or that they will just ignore their promises whenever it’s convenient to do so. Trust comes by foot and leaves with a horse, as the dutch say.

So, I while I still enjoy the game, I have negative outlook on the future based on the development decisions and more so on the devs and how they carry themselves towards the community and things they release.

I actually agree on most of these points, I think the biggest thing for me is the devs filling in already existing stuff (more modular artillery, retrofitting old useless premium squads, filling in mechanics with paras-APCs etc

Hard to be positive when we haven’t get a lot of content this year. Most of it was sitting in editor for years or ported from WT or a slightly modified stuff (like Soviet drum Thompson or PPD 34/38 snail drum or event 234/3).
Just a single frontline (campaign like) and a single expanded map is a pitiful amount of content in a year, it should be doubled or tripled.

We still haven’t got Assault engineers for Americans and Japan, Soviets and Japan are still missing event APCs and Bikes, Germany still haven’t got belt fed MGs, balance and BR haven’t got shuffled in a while, we haven’t got anything Italian, Japanese or British event wise in a while, where is my P40/Semoverte/Celere Saharino?
Where are my new JP tanks or planes or some experimental guns?
Where is British Matilda(non premium)/Archer/Churchill(non premium)/Cromwell? And where is TT Lewis gun? Where is M3 half track for Americans?

Honestly i wish we could play fan made maps in official matchmaking i’m just tired of playing same limited pool of maps over and over again.

And Map editor should be expanded so more talented modders would add their own objects so we could make actual new unique looking maps instead of just using existing prefabs.

Current Halloween event just showed direction that they want to take, over monetize everything and try to squeeze as much money they can while give us bare minimum, we won’t even get new frontline/campaign with new maps with Soviet vs Japan. How lazy can you be… Or maybe Gaijin already stopped their funding and try to focus on new game they announced recently.

Those ugly ass skins should be allowed to appear in the main game i want to puke when i look at those 7 day soaked bloody skins they are bloody awful. And Samurai with body builder German dude are also dumb.

They keep adding new power creeping stuff to the game without thinking how it would fit the game, guerrilla is not needed when we have paratroopers but they insisted to add them, they can’t land anywhere they want but can easily spawn camp infantry and tanks.

Rocket arty addition was pointless nobody uses it since it’s so weak when compared to normal artilery.

Rider class is same as ever despite them promising they will be chancing them this year, we have less than 60 days till end of the year and we still haven’t heard anything.

Ai is still bad and rarely helpful in firefights, enemy troops are still dancing to my tank mgs, HE shells got a bit more consistent but now HEAT is suffering when shooting against infantry but also vs tanks (KV-1 can tank them all).

At least economy got fixed, i don’t care about xp cut since i was using premium since the beginning.

I was from the start giving more realistic suggestions to the game mostly because game has already some realistic aspects of the game as you mentioned but tbh I came to conclusion that it wouldn’t really fit enlisted much, besides slowing the pace just a little bit I’m not into any hardcore changes to this game anymore.

Yeah I’m not trying to say the realism suggestions are bad but Enlisted is so fast paced many of them just couldn’t fit

Syndrome of Stockholm, or,
My favorite,

It’s like a train wreck.
You know it’s bad, but can’t just take the eyes off.

But in all seriousness, it’s a mix of dissatisfaction. And people genuinely wanting to make and see this game doing better.

Kinda hard, because updates are kinda slow, and sometimes, not even that meaningful. Broken promises, a questionable PR / marketing team, ( and lately, a lack there of ).

Personally, I can’t speak for everyone, but that’s is how I feel.
In all honesty, for me the real fights happens over the forum than the actual base game.
It’s either a steam roll, or… a steam roll done by the opponents. Doing the same thing over and over across the same 3/4 game modes.
There isn’t a whole lot for veterans to do either.

And the only place we were supposed to have ( custom ) it’s like a wheelchair for people with no legs, except this wheelchair has no wheels.

So you’re just there.
Going on and off from one update to another.
Maybe an event to get “ the thrill of unlocking something “ that you’ll probably use for few matches.

For me, I’ve got the editor that keeps me entertained.
Gives some vibrance to enlisted.
And really shows the actual potential that people talks about.

Big action from tommy is one of many reason.
And many other mods.

That show interesting and unique features, or like some of my mods.
Playing in pve against larger squads, with unique appearance that enlisted base game can only dream because apparently for some reason someone can’t do or won’t do over the base game ( lackluster ) customization.

So, I’m just hanging around and see how it goes.
Praising the goods, while critiquing the bad.

Maybe I’m wrong.
Who knows.

Edit. And to throw it all out,
There are many assets sitting ducks in the editor, and for some reason, they won’t introduce them. Yet they keep introducing other stuff that probably took more time as those weren’t there.

Transparency hasn’t been the greatest, and you never know what’s next.
IMO, I’m not too negative, but guerillas showed that they prefer to take the easy way out, rather than actually address some type of issues more in depth.

well enlisted is relatively unique with its bots, so it makes shooter that is sometimes fun. my biggest problem with current enlisted is that it is totally unbalanced and one team has usually overwhelming advantage making game boring whether you win or lose.
