I started playing Enlisted three weeks after it went open Beta. At one day I would get the map D-Day seven times in a row, the first three times I played, the next three times I left and the last time I left and uninstalled the game.
Today I got the battle pass task to capture a point, after two hours of playing I have not got one map were I was able to do so. This is crazy and it drives me nuts. Now I am leaving battles as quickly as I find out that I can complete my task there. This has to stop! It is wasting my time and it leaves teams with one less player. This is bad for everyone. But I refuse to “waste” my time even more than two hours to get one effing task done.
Thanks for your time reading this and now I go back into the game and see if I can finish that task of capturing ONE point.
I think in order to do this, they need an actual Matchmaker put in place, which needs a larger player base to establish correctly.
I may get battles I don’t like, but I will still play it out because I don’t want to leave my team hanging without me.
They actually should put in a before match Voting system like MWO has. I actually find, of all the systems I’ve seen in the games I have worked on, it is the most fair and reasonable.
I don’t know, I do have limited time, especially on workdays. But also on weekends I do not want to play a game all day because of one super easy task I can not finish because I never get the opportunity to finish it.
I see the problem of player leaving matches, but I can not change that. One can at least in my eyes only try to understand, why people leave matches. For me reasons are:
a.) I get the same map 3+ times in a row (sometimes)
b.) I get maps where I can not finish my battle tasks (after playing for 1-2 hours)
c.) I get in battles that already started (if I just don’t feel like it)
You can hate me for that, shame me for that and whatever you fancy. Or you could say, sure, that is a problem, there is a lot of people that have not the time or are not stubborn enough to soldier trough. I do support this idea, because I dislike being in a team were players left before the battle even started.
Not shaming you at all for your decisions. I have no time in my life to do that to other players, its not right.
I’m just shocked that you get the same map so many times in a row. I wonder if their limited MM that they do use has issues somehow. I’d love to see the Metadata on it to understand how it works.
And I do get the idea of wanting to complete tasks before you log, I hate getting the Mortar ones and then being stuck defending where its not as easy to get kills as it is when attacking.
I do believe, and I have said it before that we need a better MM. This is just another reason why.
So don’t take what I said the wrong way, I am supporting your frustration with it.
To me, it sounds like you are probably playing as Axis, they almost always defend. If that s the case, just switch to Allies or join another campaign to finish that task.
Yeah, for bolt-action kills I already go to Moscow. Thanks for the advice!
The map rotation is really a mixed bag for me, sometimes I do only Invasion and some Attacks all day, sometimes I get Conquest all day. Rarely it is even.
There is times were I get Omer, on attack or defense all day.
And then there is the days when I get D-Day all day long (at least every second battle).
Enlisted uses a matchmaking system that sets a map for everyone and this lasts some time so even if you leave and join again you’ll get the same map. My advice is to leave and switch teams
for example:
You are playing axis but it seems you constantly get to defend in Invasion maps. Try switching to allies (or switching to another campaign) and trying to get the attacker side from their faction, it’s much easier to finish tasks
Its funny, that happened to me last night on Airfield, which historically speaking a lot of Axis Players leave because the Allies can get so many additional tickets…and we ended up winning.
A lot of players drop out when they should still press the attack.
thats how you distinguish someone with and without the cohones my friend
i just hard carried team of console players, was frustrated as hell for most of the game but trust me clutching that last capture point with no tickets left and 1 soldier in the squad felt AMAZING
so what’s the problem? just change the task. you’re absolutely right that there needs to be better mm though, a veto system would be great (and maybe devs would see how much everyone hates playing swamps/chateau)
unfortunately, players of every faction do this, like as soon as the first point is lost. often the second point is a lot easier to hold but unfortunately this is an fps (also released on last gen) so i suppose we should expect the lowest common denominator of players
Well, you can change battle task’s only a limited time and to capture one cap is actually a very easy one. Better than get 20 kills with arty, or mortar.
funny thing on that day my first battle task was, “shoot down two airplanes” and I change it to “cap one paint”. Guess what, I shoot down two airplanes in the first match
if you have the mortar squad on moscow you can pump this one out on koenigsplatz/kroll invasion games by shelling the bridge. i got like 30 kills at the start of a match before doing that
also, you can change tasks i think its one for every two tasks completed, and you get 2 or 3 initially. but yeah if we’re gonna have mode/side specific tasks, rng matchmaking and limited task swaps we should get some way to queue for quick conquests if we get that challenge
Thanks for the advice, on Berlin I am like uhm, level or something. But I keep that in mind in will very likely go for the mortar squad there, for that!
Yeah, most of the times I do not have to change any tasks. I dislike tasks like melee kill (while sometimes I really have fun doing this one, all my Axis soldiers have axes … it’s hilarious running around killing guys with axes). Pistol kill’s I don’t like as well, as well as flamethrower kill’s.
Sometimes I swap pistol, to get melee, to get flamethrower and so on …
And as I said, capping one point is so easy, you won’t swap that for killing five tanks, two airplanes, 30 flamethrower kills or what ever. I keep that and just hope to get a map were I can cap a point ^^
I rotate Campaigns every night I play, so usually I am not stuck on something for long.
My rule is, Win or Lose, 2 matches and move on. Generally speaking there are Very rare occasions when I cannot complete a task.
