It seems that players that started playing post merge are at a disadvantage to pre merge players…and this is mainly due to Legacy squads, and all the event ones. I was watching a YouTube video this week about these squads and the YouTuber showcased all that they had…many of each category from Assaulter I’s (that we don’t have and are better then Medics since they have Engineers), II’s, III’s and IV’s. Essentially this means the pre-merge players can run up to as many Assaulter IV squads that they have in their loadouts…then add all of the event squads they were here for including Paratroopers and Assault Engineers, newer players can’t really match that as post merge players can’t make top tier loadouts like this with all soldiers being max perked out.
If I was just coming into this game, I could see how frustrating it could be as even pre-merge BR1 is better with the squads…then add the Assault Engineers for any BR and BRI Paratroopers…I can see why the game has stalled growing and it’s harder to retain newer players.
I hope developers realize the only way to actually get balance in this game is either by: returning Legacy squads or at least give a buy option for like $5 a squad; adding more squads like this to the TT to grind for; or making old event squads easier to obtain and not the near impossible feat it is. I even find some matches more like work because it seems the other team all have top tier loadouts and it really isn’t balanced. Without balance it is going to be harder to retain new players and grow the game. Judging by posts all over this forum…developers really should be paying attention to this and trying to fix it…Legacy needs to be available to all…or none, and the later isn’t really an option.
If you have to pay real money for something that was FOR FREE, then I’m gonna uninstall this game
I second this. If it was for free prior to the merge, it should be given back for free.
I agree but the fact they have yet to release them is baffling.
I think their original thought was on balancing or something.
But that’s the point, we all need to make noise on this issue as they don’t want to release them to post merge players.
It is definitely unbalanced now if they can run all maxed out Assaulter IV squads in a loadout.
I know, I’m always wondering how people have better squads even though I’m only playing BR2
If you want to form an organisation around adding legacy squads (and equipment) to the tech tree, I would happily join it.
Wouldn’t it be hard to add 300 plus squads to the TT? They might have to give some out as rewards as well…but definitely release them…they are already in the game.
Poor business sense on the Dev’s part. Players have been asking for the legacy squads for a couple years now. After managing business half my life I’d learned that when customers want something, you give it to them, however I doubt the Dev’s would ever offer them for free. I did have them at one time since I played pre merge, and I would love to have some of them back, not all, but some. What baffles me is that a lot of people would pay for them, which the Dev’s should clearly know by now and they STILL DON’T OFFER THEM. Idiotic if you want my opinion. They are just sitting on them, and they are only worth something while the game still has players, the day the game starts losing it’s player base, those legacy squads are worthless.
so if you buy it you own it, you earn it, its a rental, i say fluff that
Dunno what its supposed to balance.
JP arguably is the only faction that would get the short end of stick while other nations would be able to get multiple squads from pre-merge campaigns.
But it has always been like that, before merge & after.
I need those
Also I need Stalingrad axis stuff as well
I am strongly against legacy vehicle squads, as those allow a single player to do a nonstop braindead carousel of tanks or planes, but infantry squads? Hell yeah, I am tired of changing each soldier loadout when I change the BR preset, instead I could just assign certain squads to certain BRs.
And some squads must have nice outfits too, for those who like to customize their soldiers’ looks.
Yeah legacy vehicle squads are fair, though we have to look at it this way too.
atm veteran players have an unfair advantage over others by being able to make some really disgusting lineups to cycle vehicles, it should only be fair that everyone has that ability.
The easy solution would just be to make it so that you cant spawn the same vehicle type twice in a row.
It would also give tank destroyers a second lease on life since you could separate the Tanks and Tank Destroyers, like how you separate the Fighters and Attackers.
@MajorMcDonalds care to chime in? As a competitive veteran pre-merge player and as a Community Manager trying to grow a player base…you would have ideas and opinions I’m sure. In fact all Enlisted YouTubers who have followings to help grow our beloved game chime in too.
Thats more of a premium issue & stalingrad pack issue.
F2P players with or without legacy squads are anyway limited to 3+1.
It is true.
A few squads were better than the current available ones.
For example, Stalingrad assaulters could not only have the 4 assaulters we kow… but Also a medic. That’s 5 smg soldiers. (Some prefer this in lieu of a slower lmg guy)
Among other things.
I still look at those who foolishly thought selling squads for a measly 10k silver was a good deal with a smirk. (Look at the price of a single tier 4 assaulter for comparison).
They willingly scammed themselves…
