After five years of playing this game, I’ve maxed out all the tech trees. Adding individual weapon models to them when I have an unlimited supply of free XP doesn’t exactly motivate me to keep playing. The only thing keeping me around is the events with unique rewards (which, for a reason, have become more frequent in recent years). Even that is starting to get stale, though. Leaving aside the legendary milestones, the game needs new factions, new battlefronts, and new maps. Sure, someone might argue there isn’t a large enough player base to support more factions, but I feel like the player base will only shrink if there isn’t a fresh perspective. Ffs, it’s WWII, the possibilities are bigger than what we have got already.
To make the cosmetic grind worthwhile, Devs should add appropriate epaulettes, patches, collar tabs, unit insignia, and other uniform details that make individual squads look less generic—and I’m not talking about the fictional stuff found in other games. People were clamoring for this about four years ago, but the community has since forgotten.
More fractions/campaigns (Manchuria is not enough)
Steady as she goes
0voters
More historically accurate cosmetics, unique to the squad
that is something, thats true. But you wont find many players who will stick with game for another whole year just for new map, that is randomly selected by match maker.
Have watched it. Interesting perspective. End game would for sure fill up that gaping hole named end of tech tree xd. Still I think they could add some standard content in bulk like new faction, bc there is historical potencial for that. Ofc it would be maxed out eventually as well, so supposed end game would be great addition anyway.
It’s such a shame that the “New Enlisted” decided to be a “4 nations by 5 BRs” mantra with exactly symmetrical weapons and vehicles balance for eSports.
I’ve always dreamed of a WW2 game that would explore theaters of war, fronts, nations and battles:
Instead all we are getting is Su-9 1946 to mirror Me 262 and fictional Hori to mirror Pershing/IS-2.
Sure, the campaigns system was dead on arrival without any BR matchmaking and splitting the playerbase into separate playgrounds.
But the Merge could have been done so differently:
Instead we have not received a new faction since 2022.
New factions would not make any sense because it would break match making, and divide the player base too much like the game pre-merge.
Also the Italian and British tech tree would have to be filled with German and US equipment to make up for the gaps in weapons and vehicles for all 5 battle ratings. Italy for example would not have any BR5 tanks or planes that would be equal to the Tiger 1 and 2. Italy would also have to unlock MG34 and MG42’s again. Having to unlock weapons and vehicles over and over again is another reason why the merge happened, because so many people complained about the redundant grind.
Every time people bring up their desire to add more factions it is so nonsensical and speaks to a total lack of understanding of how the game works. There is nothing stopping anyone from making their own UK or Italian squads if they want using only those weapons and vehicles from the tech tree. It would make no sense to make everyone unlock the same weapons and vehicles again redundantly, just to shove in extra factions and completely break match making cause US/UK and Germany/Italy would be split 4x ways instead of just 2 ways, which would at least double queue times, if not make them 8x longer.
The game could concentrate on adding more theaters of war such as maps in Italy or Greece or Crete, even if just having one map at a time like with Rzhev. That would not break match making or force people to re-grind things over again.
Literally that. Game doest get younger, there will be no any next boom in player base. They need to add new things that they can put on trailers or they will die like any other underdeveloped shooter.
we dont need evey nation on BR5 with jet fighers xd
It doesnt. In this underdeveloped shape at least. Thats the point. Its handicaped.
So dont do it. Many would for the same reason why they did it with present factions xd.
You will get to that point with four faction too if game will become boring.
One map per half a year wont stop player base from leaving. You are delusional
