The merge is causing problems for new and experienced players alike, so we should come up with some quality of life fixes in order to start patching the merge. The focus of these suggestions are what I believe to be are relatively small improvements that may go a long way in alleviating headaches people are having while getting used to the merge.
-
Add a “Remove Unnecessary Equipment” button for entire squads, or even all squads in reserve. Players who now have a great number of squads (in some cases 140+ for germany) now have the massive task of sorting through all their stuff. This is a very tedious and frustrating task, as players try to recover all their most prized weapons and cosmetics from the sea of squads to begin to re-organize their equipment. This could apply to both weapons and cosmetics, or a separate button could be made for cosmetics.
-
Improvements to matchmaking, this includes reducing the range of BR levels in lobbies (BR 2 players should not be up against BR 4 and 5) as well as BR balance adjustments for weapons and vehicles.
-
Display the current overall BR level of a faction somewhere on the UI. At the moment players have to enter a menu to figure out what their current BR is and that should be made more clear.
-
Create a “sort by BR” button in the squad management menu. This was suggested by many players and would help considerably with squad management on a large scale.
Less Pressing Suggestions: (Just some ideas)
-
Create a button that changes the cosmetics of all the currently equipped squads to a certain campaign. This would help a lot with customizing all equipped squads so I can make sure I have them set up correctly for each campaign map set.
-
It may be a good idea to change the cosmetic system to where you can permanently unlock certain cosmetics. It would be much easier if I could just unlock certain cosmetic options and have the option to use them on all soldiers. It is going to be a pain to have to try and manage all my individual cosmetics when each squad has a different cosmetic preset for different map sets for 140.
---- Conclusion -----
These are just some quality of life improvements I have thought and/or seen posted by other people, that I feel would improve the experience of myself and others. Please post other QoL improvements you would like to see in a structured format so the suggestions are easier to communicate to the devs.
