Suggestions from a brand new player

Let me get the obvious out of the way…I speak for myself. Others are welcome to chime in as they see fit.

Ok, first I would like to talk about the good.

-I love the hectic presentation of war in this game. Much better than most similar games on the market that offer FTP.

-I also think the sound environment, explosive effects on environment and the design of maps/terrain is innovative and immersive.

Next, I would like to cover what I see as detriments to the current design.

-Overcomplicated UI and progression system. It is far too busy for me as a new player, I try to ignore all the flashing indicators. It just seems like unnecessary noise at this early juncture. This should be presented more slowly, with more automatic upgrades early on. The current system should be for experienced late game progression instead.

-No ability to pick and choose maps or modes to play. Conquest or nothing. I like a few of the maps very much, but have no way to play them again, even if it is to practice. I would like to have seen the prior maps playable as single encounters with bots, with the ability for other real players to join my squad using a match system…similar to Heroes and Generals.

-Very different squads that you are forced to play with. This is very annoying IMO. I would like to focus on a single squad early on, even if that means I am kicked out of the fight early, or given the choice to pick another squad at that point that is randomly generated.

-No appearance customization. I really don’t like this setup, I would have preferred the ability to customize the faces at least.

I am a fan of Heroes and Generals, I enjoy the simplicity and simple way to upgrade abilities and weapons, but that game has flaws, and this game has much better presentation. I think if this game offered a more simple introductory interface early on, and perhaps individual maps loaded with enemy bots for group play it would be close to perfection.

Just my two cents.

I like the current progression system

The only issue is that we don’t have a tutorial for it

I finished reading then you mention Heroes & Generals. The least you need for Enlisted is to turn it into some modern reincarnation of that dead game. I’ve been playing H&G since 2016, but I have to admit that the game has been drowning for a long time. It became an old, insignificant, empty game where the creators just don’t have the money anymore, something to do with it. Although there was a time when they had such an opportunity, but was stubborn and would not listen to community.

Enlisted full of problems and in still in beta but even now it is far more better than H&G ever be. And I’m here because I ran away from games like H&G.

I feel like you are going into the game with HaG in mind which is not a good mindset but I don’t blame you since it’s a thing that I’m sometimes guilty of as well.

-Overcomplicated UI → I’ve seen a post like this already and to be fair, it gets a lot easier fast. Sure it looks like a lot but after just couple hours in I understood most of it + there is a lot of good guides online. I however do agree that they could make it more complicated the more you play as once I understood how it works, there is sadly nothing new to learn.

-Choose a gamemode → They are working on the ability to choose game modes (not sure about maps but I’d guess that as well)

-Different squads → That’s the point. If you can play with one squad you will play only one squad since you will put all your best stuff into it, meaning you won’t ever touch the other squads. Meaning you won’t ever experience different play styles that the big variety of squads offer. It is fine as it is.

-Appearance → they confiremed they are working on this as well (give them time, its only a beta)

I see a lot of these posts about changing the game to fit various other games that are dead or way past their prime. Enlisted isn’t made to be the new heroes and generals, its made to be enlisted.

The UI is literally simple to understand after a few games of playing. Just because its not what yo are used to dose not mean you then dismiss it as being over complicated. I have a friend with a mental retardation who understands how to play the game and navigate the menus after a day of playing. Its not hard you are just lazy.

The point of the game is to play other squads and not just sit on one of them all game. There would be no game if every time i got shot down in my a-20 I was straight back up the the sky dropping 2000 KG worth of bombs on the enemy.

The changing appearance feature is just one of those things that seem stupid and make the game feel like call of duty or some Chinese mmorpg. Why does it matter what your character looks like in an fps game?. The game is centered around WW2 so you wouldn’t see the Americans storming normandy in 20 different uniforms all colors of the rainbow.

Just seems to me that this game isn’t for you and you want to play something else

Regarding the appearance, it gets silly when most of the soldiers on the map look the same. I get the fear of becoming a bf/cod with it but I think that’s a worse case scenario that won’t happen with this game. The devs are working on appearance customization and with all the realism they stuff into the game I believe the customization will fit nicely into the WW2 setting. (Your squad might just have slightly different insignia, armbands, slightly different color/camo and so on, to simulate different regiments, divisions, army groups)

Oh they have the money from all the stupid gold sales they do. They just dont wanna reform the game to actually be good

The biggest complaint about this game across the net is its overcomplicated interface. Players have it thrown in their face immediately. It is a foolish notion that laziness has something to do with a poorly designed and presented interface. Lack of foresight is more likely.

It needs to be gradually presented in a logical way.

Why are you responding two months later

And HnG is bad because of greed and the devs not actually updating the game to be any better.

I am replying because it is better than creating a new post.

Ok fair enough
