So you’ve gone from ‘Stuka isn’t even strong’ and ‘you have plenty of counters’ to ‘that’s just how the game is, play CoD if you don’t like it.’
Thanks for proving my point. You can’t actually defend the BR1-2 balance, so now you’re deflecting to my account, custom matches, and telling me to quit. That’s what people do when they’ve lost the argument.
And yeah, ‘that’s just how this game is’ - a game with poor new player experience that lets high BR players farm noobs who don’t have effective counters yet. At least you’re finally admitting it instead of pretending the balance is fine.
Also, bringing up my account as a ‘gotcha’ when you have no argument left is pretty desperate.
Sir, based on your screenshots and intel, your expierence is based on bad decisions:
You own the T-70 and the Biker Squad. This means you spend at least over 50k worth of RP to tank and 30k to unlock the bike (not counting the Engineer I Squad). To unlock the Fighter Plane squad, you just needed 5k, and the Yak-1 only 25k. So, even if you wanted to unlock the T-70, you just shouldnt have wasted your RPs on the bike and instead go with the Fighter Plane squad.
You use the biker squad, one of the worst vehicles in-game.
Your tank squad is already at Level 34 but even your Starter Rifle Squad sits at Level 3 (and yo udidnt even bother to fill it with a new soldier). So you either only used tanks so far and/ or used gold. Either way, you could have used the time or ressources to level up the Engineer I Squad instead of focusing on one squad.
(- You somehow own a T-34-85 (which would also somewhat explain the T-70), making me believe that you are probably around before the merge, which just creates more question and theories, but no answers.)
So, yes, it is your expierence because you went full Biker+Tanker and didnt consider to be more flexible and now you got too close to the sun in form of planes. If you had time or money to fast-grind the Tanker I squad, there should be no reason for you not to ez grind the Engineer I squad or just the goddam Fighter Plane Squad.
You managed to grind through the Tanker I squad with ease, so all I can say is, get your ass out of the tank and grind Engineer I squad, newbie.
And what is left to grind for someone who completed all TTs and almost all squads?
Just go through your equipment/soldiers/squads and verify nothing is above br2. Then look at the start game button it also tells you what br matches you’ll be getting into. It should be br 1-3 at br2 and only br 1-2 at br1. Next thing that might help you out quite a bit is turning off the join a squad option above the start game button. That function could potentially be bugged, but beyond that they changed match making to now try and group up groups of players. Most skilled players play in teams so this alone is making your chances of playing against sweatlords more likely.
No need to be calling people newbs. We need new playeds to begin with, and a lot of stuff isn’t very obvious from the get-go. Explaining things to newbs like you did is better than calling them newbs. Hell, I’m still learning new things about the game after 2 years of play
this game has progression and no, you don’t get everything at he start.
There are other games where you do get access to everything at the start - so perhaps you should play one of those instead?
Your team has a variety of squads available, as do you. If no-one in your team has some particular squad and it would be useful then that’s a shame, but so what - see the first point above.
Perhaps you can research that squad sooner to make it available.
See first point above.
so you suck even vs bots?? Not sure I’d be puting that into any argument…
And that is the nature of grinding games - if you don’t like grinding games then don’t play them.
The real problem is you don’t like grinding in games that are specifically grinding games - and which you choose to play despite that.
Solve it yourself - either acknowledge the nature of the game and accept it, or go play somethign else.
I don’t think it’s fair to completely blow off his points. He does have some valid concerns. Low tier (BR1-2) has continuously power crept up to BR3/4 gameplay wise over the past year with new additions continuously pushing low tier further into smg and automatic weapons meta play with loads of whales and/or vets. I’ve always been an advocate for some form of lobby balancing. The difference between a br1 new player and a br 2 vet is immense. There should be more of a safe space to some degree when it comes to new players regardless of it being a progression system. It takes a lot of in game time to become fully aware and to learn the game. If every new player is met with a terrible gaming experience the game will not grow. It’s as simple as that. Just because we went through it, doesn’t mean that’s how it should be.
I would support br1 being separate, but some people power through to br2 without unlocking all of br1 for even one faction. if you do that you are not a noob you are an idiot. choosing to buy or equip a piece of br gear is popping youre own noob cherry except getting rocked by br3 players.
I assume there’s a lot of people out there who don’t understand this concept. It may be obvious to us, but i doubt many new players realize this stuff immediately or even shortly after getting involved. It’s probably more like, “ohhhh, shiny new thing, i want to use that” to “why the hell are the matches so difficult now”. If the game actually had tutorial screens pop up for new player accounts going through core game principles there would be no excuse at that point, but either way i think new players need some sort of protective measures in place. Such as not being allowed into higher tier matches without having x% of gear for that BR untill they’ve had a chance to truly learn the game.
