It’s currently 3AMEST and I am playing Enlisted so I can use my 200% booster I have received for logging into Enlisted for 211 days straight. The match I have been placed into was an absolute disaster. Playing as Axis BR5 in Stalingrad against BR5 Soviets with 3 squads or paras, 2 squads of riflemen (with large grenade pouches) and 2 radio squads, we got pushed back so quickly and rapidly that my team nor myself were able to hold a line and defend. Let alone an issue I have seen now for the 5th or 6th time; I play on a North American server and I have been playing against Chinese accounts that are so good and skilled, they can shoot through the crack of a broken wall through an entire tractor factory and squad wipe myself and 3 others, all while moving to the left and aiming to the right.
The point I am getting at is the fact that XP boosters are so caught after and needed, yet they are always wasted or trashed by the fact that we get thrown into conquest game modes, or we are put up against the most dangerous and elite players Enlisted has to offer. I truly would LOVE the ability to store and/or hold onto the XP boosters for when I have time to actually use them. I stayed up late this evening/early morning to use the booster and I was so frustrated with getting killed through the walls and rubble I quit the game because it was a waste. It’s not fun when a game becomes so frustrating and annoying that it is better to turn off the console than to play the rest of the match. As well as the fact that now my booster is gone and I will not be able to use it ever again. What a shame.
Give us MORE boosters if the XP system will not be increased/optimized.
Im tired and I should not be writing so late but its on my mind.
I also play from EST time zone and play at odd hours myself, and can attest to seeing Chinese players playing their heart out. Something I respect them for, but they definitely like to play hyper meta.
I get around the explo spam by having good squad splitting micro, but otherwise I have my own setups to counter (but right now im leveling squads I dont use often like snipers and flamethrowers so my setup is quite weak atm)
As for boosters, I just have a different perspective I guess, just see it as gambling.
Roullete to what x% boost I get, roulette as to what map and mode, roulette for who is on each team as well as their numerous different squads and setups. There are just so many different factors and variables that Im just happy with whatever I get.
At the end of it, at least youre getting more than you would have otherwise gotten playing without a booster. Thats just me though
Chinese players do have their own server with a decent number of players, the agent is war flames. However, the game version on Chinese server lags far behind the international server, and the data is not interconnected with the international server, so Chinese players still prefer to stay on the international server.
Chinese players are usually eager to win in this game, as it relates to a 1.5X income. Most of them will use what they consider the most efficient means to win, and I don’t think there is anything to blame for it. FPS games are about killing or getting killed, and there will always be people who enjoy playing meta to farm others. No one likes to lose or be farmed, so you sometimes have to also pick up meta weapons to resist them. It should be blamed on developers who allow these OP weapons to remain unchanged, rather than players who abuse them.
As for boosters, I almost never store them, considering the risk of conquest or trains. It is very common for a 200% booster to be wasted in the conquer mode. DF seems to be very satisfied with his Conquer/Train/Assault modes because they doesn’t seem intend to modify them, and I don’t think players may have the freedom to choose game modes in near future, because DF even made only 2 match levels(BR1-3 BR3-5) for 5 BRs, they don’t want players to be split now.
The only problem I see here is this game is not ready for teamwork and then people start working together the game breaks that’s what we need to start worrying about
Yeah, it sucks when you get into a match and it’s conquest or destruction, even worse train escort,and the enemy team is a bunch of tryhards and your team is incompetent.it seems every match I have a boost one of these things happen to me.
Yeah it’s true, more than what could have been… I feel like it’s disrespectful and disappointing. I’d rather not have a booster at any degree. Sometimes I get a booster and I quit the game just to get rid of it. Much like as if the game realizes I have a booster and sends me to IRL Stalingrad for being a bad Jerry.
I don’t have statistical proof of this, yet I am thoroughly convinced that there is a mechanism in place to deliberately throw anyone who has a booster active into a short/hopeless match. It happens with dogged regularity.
That’s so true! It’s unfortunate to the highest degree, I also have the ability to at least slow down the enemy. I know I will lose, yet I will attempt to always be the best player possible while losing…
