The New Player Experience is in DESPERATE need of a revamp. The game simply is not new player friendly. Most new players will not be looking up tutorial videos and such to play a game. It should be plug and play nowadays and as simple and streamlined as possible. Unless you want a niche game, the first hour or so needs to grab their attention and such. Outside of bug fixing, IMO, this is the number 1 priority for the game.
Newbies don’t unlock explosion packs in the first couple of matches anymore? Yes they should start with an Engie Squad. Yes Hurtgen Forest needs to be removed from I-III
Are new gamers that stupid? We have the wealth of knowledge at our fingertips, every one of us, and all we have to do is open YT and search Enlisted beginner or tutorial or whatever and boom you got someone going over “5 basic things you NEED to know about Enlisted”
I’ve looked up tips and tricks for games before. The views on the videos I watched means other people have before. Why are Enlisted newbies not capable of doing that same thing?
Maybe I’m simplifying the first few levels in my mind, but still it didn’t take long to get explosive packs. It was one of the first pieces of equipment you unlocked
its not that they are stupid … its that the majority of people do not consume that sort of content. People that are active within a game’s community are in fact the minority … a vocal minority mind you. But the vast majority simply play the game and log off … if they dont enjoy a game they uninstall it. They don’t look for guides. As such, this stuff needs to be in the game and the in game UI needs to cater to those to maintain a proper population.
I think the game has a lot of hope, it’s looking like a great future minus the Steam release. Granted they are slow, very slow on some issues but I think the game should do well in the future.
