After having played with the new 3k XP per Bronze Order I think it is an ok system for when you are doing good. But a bad system for when you are not.
As such I would like to suggest the following change to the system to improve the gameplay for people that are having a harder time:
A player should get a minimum of 1 Bronze order per battle they participated in (playing until the match ends/they or the team are out of spawns).
This way players that are not getting 3k XP per match will still be progressing somewhwat while players that are raking up more XP will still be progressing faster.
That would simply make it easier to spot and report them though. And with a little more effort you can abuse the system anyway by ordering your squadmates to attack a point and having a macro move your soldier to said point.
Admittedly it would take more effort to do so but considering how people were able to farm stuff in eve with bots it shouldn’t be too difficult to do the same here.
The difference there lies in the detail: If i send my squad to a point while running a macro for my soldier, they just get obliterated, basically earning no exp wich results in not obtaining a order for a loooong time if any at all.
While in eve and other games, it was literally just ressources and often even promoted. I mean, i also dont want to look at my screen for xx hours while mining, been there, done that
I would like to agree with you, but that isn’t how it works out quite often and you know that too ;). Though I would say that the ammount of kills ai mates manage in the game has been reduced, often. And if somebody wants to farm bronze orders without doing anything they will simply do that anyway. At least a shittier macro is easier to spot and player ban.
And the problem that the progression system has been made worse still stands. Before a garbarge player could still pretty reliably get 1 bronze order per battle. This is now not possible anymore.
Maybe you could elbaorate on your suggestion in regards to tasks per xp but raised?
What I am looking at is an option to get that back while keeping the improved progression for when doing better. And that runs in to the other point of “rewarding bad players”. That is simply wrong. It is about restoring the basic rewards for bad players they were supposed to get anyway.
The system is fine the way it is. Orders are practically raining now. I haven’t had one match yet where I don’t get 3 of each + the battle task. They are literally, raining.
Stop trying to give participation trophies. If you’re trash, you shouldn’t be rewarded for just existing.
You want to be properly rewarded? Improve, get good.
My Idea basically was to keep both systems. The task system that provides order as well as the orders per exp. However, you wouldn´t recieve an order for every 3k exp but rather as an example every 5k exp with freedom of choice.
Bad players get punished. All in all, i am fine with that. If i perform poorly i dont expect a ton of rewards as that would be unfair towards people that perform good and also takes the aspect of having to improve myself out of the game. Another thing would be increasing the exp gain for actually doing what you are supposed to do: Decimate the enemy and especially, cap/defend points. I´d even go so far as to give a little bonus exp to players that spot tanks that then get destroyed by a teammate, as well as rewarding spotting. Not a lot, but a tad bit.
Ok granted, in invasion my average lies at around 20k due to the sheer numbers that you can rack up. Depends on the time it takes though, lost invasions in a matter of ~15 minutes (germans are utterly scared of having to defend a point it seems, wich brings shame). Probably would get more if i fly and tank on a regular basis, but i am a infantry pleb :v
Totally agree and nowhere do i want to reward incompetence. Personally i am quite happy with the current old system per xp as i rack those orders up faster then i can spend em. However, i like to discuss points and maybe try to find a solution that´s ok with the involved partys. Not that it matters though, as the devs decide and they mostly here on the loud minority.
It’s fine as it is, infact I can get 3-4 of EACH thing per match, it’s utterly glorius. It will get better when you get more squad utility/squad size and better vehicles. I get most of my performance from tanks, just mowing down infantry and being mindful of your own infantry support.
