Actually by getting rid of the XP penalty for losing would be a decent start. That way it becomes more of a “how good are you playing” thing.
simple fix is unnerf the German weapons. cant win if it takes two shots to just wound someone.
No, just no. That will only piss off the German playerbase and make them stop playing. The result would be the death of the game.
how is making their guns more powerful going to piss them off?
No way. If winning doesn’t matter, why bother trying to do that when you can just farm points? The game is already full of hopefully unintentional incentives for players to cheese as much as possible. You don’t want that to also be the most effective way to progress.
Right now people get punished for it too much, driving away Russian players.
I thought you typo’d as your sentence wouldn’t make sense otherwise. I thought you ment unbuffing. Because why would their winrate go down if their guns did more damage, making them not two shot?
Even if that was the case it’s still preferable to everyone being punished by everyone not playing to win.
yeah, this would not incentivize playing objective, but rather, playing for kills.
which half of the russian playerbase is what they do by now.
You realize the only way Russia wins is if they kill enough of the enemy team before they lose every point?
AFKing in a corner on the objective doesn’t win invasion. Pushing ahead and creating a body count so the German team is more concerned with killing you than capping is how you win invasion.
well, how does that works out if you don’t care about the ojective?
you might kill houndreds of germans. but if one or two squads manage to cap the point, all that effort has been pointless.
Generally setting up MG nests and spraying everyone down near the objective is best.
General area denial down the main avenues towards it is best, yeah.
Though in some spots the german spawn wraps around 2 sides of the map so it’s tricky.
I´m not sure what do you mean, perhaps engineers are responsible for it? I often try to build spawn points in flanking possitions but I never really noticed main german spawns literaly wrapping invasion objective like that.
At the 2nd and maybe 3rd point, Germany spawns in trenches which are out of bounds for Russia, and those trenches wrap around the objective.
My halfassed attempt at drawing it. Russian spawn is the blue line, the red is rougly the objective, and the green line is the German spawn. More often than not, the entire Russian team is watching the left trench while Germans are coming out of the right side as well.
Admittedly looks better from the map, but from the ground it’s deceiving to the defenders.
Edit expanding on it more: if you’re on the Russian side, you either spawn in the single trench acting to funnel you up into a crossfire, or you spawn in the middle of a field and instantly get mowed down by machine guns.
Why are posts like this still happening -_-
err, it’s at least 3/4 month old.
yeah - someone posted and deleted a message which brought it back to the top - thought I’d put a link in to the results page too…
Yeah I didn’t realize the post was so old and mine wasn’t a constructive one, so I withdrew it lmao
