So i returned to game after a longer break, when i grew tired of slow progresion. So i launch up a new campaign to maybe start a bit fresh, aaaand… out of 4 silvers I own i technically should spend some on riflemen fillers… Taking away that part, and making me pay silvers for bloody riflemen honestly killed most desire to play in me. I will still play a bit, but any will to seriously progress is gone.
Give us some way to at least get more rifleman, because this invalidates the whole early game progression from what i can see.
It’s bad enough the progression is slow as hell, and upgrading squad doesn’t actually upgrade it, now it’s even harder. This is very offputting for low levels, which are, you know, new players. That you want to keep
friend, have you at least seen the posts of future updates? I think not, so I will give you the time to update you, in a few days they will launch an update that will consist that once you finish a game in relation to the amount of points that you will get silver orders for troops there
If I did not agree to make it 50,000 xp either, since those who were going to suffer the most were going to be non-premium players, hopefully they will change that amount for one more accessible to everyone.
This is good to hear, considering the random perk-point rolling is killing me when trying to make squads of crack-troops. I just spent 17 silver orders to get ONE assaulter with the perk points to be worth leveling to V. One.
I know that is partially just bad luck but that’s also stupid as hell and in my eyes far too low of a chance of decent stats considering the higher-end perks are nice but since most of your squad dies before being used, so they don’t make units into invincible tanks as the AI’s stupidity will often overpower every advantage you throw at them.
It’s about 1 silver troop order every 6 matches for a F2P player.
So, I’d guess, 1 every 2 days for the average player.
That, plus BP…….I just dońt see the problem.
I have a premium account….but I still only rotate 3 infantry squads….many camping tankers only need 2 squads. Kamikaze pilots only need 3 pilots (premium plus buying an extra slot) and the rest of their rotating infantry squads are easy to fill.
Much ado about nothing.
Guess what? You get what you pay for…and F2P can do just fine if they are decent players.
Shit players are shit players whether they are F2P or whales.
How do you count that? Are you sure average player always gets 1.5+1.5 XP multipliers and sits on top of the score board? Try Tunisia Axis, it is really slow crawl with 2000 - 6000 XP per game since you lose all the time and allies have all the badges.
There are achievements to help with the start but still it would be much harder to start.
You really missed a point, haven’t you? I’m sure you can optimize some squads enough, but it isn’t fun for someone who is starting off. F2P games are supposed to be fun enough to entice people to get premium, not terrorize them to do so. And it’s not about power either, i consistently end up on top 50% in my teams, even with default squads lately, the problem is lack of feeling of satisfying progression. I honestly concidered buying premium again, but the first impression after returning made me not want to.
No I didn’t, and neither will new players that will be lost before it’s implemented. And even in that update it probably won’t be boosted enough to be fun for new players to experiment with troops. But the veteran players will insist that you “only need 3 squads”. Newbies don’t know what 3 squads they want and will just quit after one to many wrong purchases, it’s bad game design.
worst thing they ever did was removing the random bronze soldier and not replacing it with another method to fairly and easily obtain new soldiers.
There proposed change of getting a silver order every 50k is just ridiculous and will hit new players and people who don’t get much xp per match the most.
Personally i would like to see a system where you can trade a certain amount of bronze orders for silver orders as i believe this would be a lot better.
I figure it for an average player. An average player wins half of their matches, so receives multipliers half the time. A less than average player will take longer of course. Also, since the person that I had responded to had a new account & had previous experience with another account, they could easily earn 12-14 silver troop orders, 5-7 silver weapon orders and upgrade their 3 rotating squads to slot an engineer each in the assault and rifleman squads after 3-4 battles. I know, because I was curious and did this not long ago. That F2P account, after 3 battles, has 12 unspent silver troop orders, one (assaulters) 6 man squad with an extra slot unlocked for an additional squad member, one (engineers) 4 man squad and a 5 man (riflemen) squad with 2 additional slots for members unlocked. All 3 rotating squads already have one engineer slotted.
It is partly a lack of planning, research and wanting it all now, that holds back new F2P accounts, not the lack of silver orders.
But you won’t elaborate just in case huh? And BTW everything you refer to in your arguments assume that people have their chosen 3 squads when they rank up, while this is rarely the case, hell i am level 13 on one campaign and i still don’t know exactly what squads i want to use, and that’s the point, this system is hostile to experimentation.
ever since they got rid of the academy and random troops this is just PAINFUL … its going to be SIGNIFICANTLY slower to progress for newer players especially F2P … its clear they want everyone spending 500USD a month on the game to get thier full 5star soldier squads…
Wow 50,000 experience huh!!! you are so generous… I was planning on blowing some money on premium for a couple of months but not now. Not only is this terribly thought out, but the EPIC GREED associated with a decision like this is blatantly obvious. Say bye-bye to my Money.
