I’m only average player but because I play daily I made 200 points without looking at it.
So it’s just a matter of time until 90% of player base become marshal with alot of points.
At that point, the silly golden star will be meaningless and everyone will go back to not giving a toss and quitting matches left and right.
Like one of you said, it’s just a flare.
I suppose that at this point devs are sabotaging their own game. Doing anything but core issues for months like matchmaking can’t be a simple oversight. What’s the point of leaderboard events and capture points balance( and how do they do that?) while not a single match have equal number of players. It’s pointless. New ranking system punish players TWICE! One with bots in their team and another one by not getting rank even if they are top 1 in match and did 2x of enemy job. In other gaijin game- which is almost dead if you play with group of 4 you play against group of 4- not some randoms, this doesn’t solve a problem but it’s first small step to do so. If they keep doing unnecessary updates there will be point of no return soon. I don’t mind losing in fair game but if i play with 9 bots and do good reward me for my effort.
Yes, but it also makes it easier to spot a premade squad so that I can desert the game right at the start.
I miss BA only for either sides matches
Bots can get Marshal too. Hell I’m a marshal and I definitely ain’t a tryhard.
You can just feel the summer break in this thread. God games are so much worse in the summertime, I can’t wait for all the kids to go back to school.
I really don’t understand that term. You’re playing a competitive shooting game, where the object is for your team to win. How is playing well, or “tryharding” a bad thing? Should we all just be sightseeing or something, and not trying to kill enemies and capture points?
you’re playing a casual game. not a competitive one. that does not involve you to have to perform extraordinary.
some people just don’t know when to lose.
if you don’t know the difference between a competitive game and a casual game when you see one, maybe it should start ring you a bell.
because enlisted Is not a competitive game. but a casual one.
let alone being asymetrical which mostly " sucks " for the asymetrical aspect trying to be forced for a competitive.
same as well for level differences and huge " level " gap.
you should get the idea.
which, speaking of " tryharding " it is a bad thing because you are negatively effecting everyone else playstyle just because you feel like you have to prove something in a game that incentivize dying and do more killings in the meanwhile to get xps.
that my friend, is fucked up.
as we spoke above, surely the ranking system did not bringed this behavior as it was somewhat already present, but surely increased it. and let me tell you, not everyone wants to boot up enlisted just to face the likes of you.
if you want to do that, there always have been those competitive events. i don’t see why it had to be putted in the main matchmaker.
if you want a challenge, then go there.
not the normal matchmaker.
it’s actually very much different.
OK, let me clarify. I didn’t mean competitive as in e-sport. I meant competitive in the sense that it’s one team competing against the other.
And just because it’s a causual game, that doesn’t mean you shoudn’t try and play well. If you don’t try and do well, what’s the point in even playing? Your attitude is very childish. Playing well does not equate to “feeling like you have to prove something”.
according to your own words.
then you have no idea of what tryharding even means.
what do you expect me to tell you if you don’t even know the meaning of a word.
not helpful either just to make fuzz of an entire argument just based on a word.
alright.
feels like apparently i wasn’t clear enough.
the reason why i said " feeling like you have to prove something " implies that you try your hard enough just to archieve victory and get this " badge / png ".
because that’s what most people do.
made lots of questions to generals and marshals. and that’s what they all say.
so… yeah. you tell me.
people literally tryhard for no concrete reasons beside their own believes and " logical reasons " or their own purpouses.
competing against an enemy, and tryharding against someone, are two different things.
I have suggested that anything related with ranking needs to have the factions separated between USSR, Germany/Italy and US/Britain to prevent people from stacking the stronger faction all the time. We have seen the worst of it in Stalingrad event where people stack the meta faction all the time.
Having my guys with best equipment but teammates having starter equipment vs like 2-4 Germany mains with top level equipment is just toxic as hell and unfair which is why I don’t handicap myself on my lineups(notably 3 PPSh squads, 1 MG and 2 tanks in Berlin) knowing the unpredictability of matchmaking like I have the chance to get a full low level team against mid to high level players. No better solution but to desert such bad matches in order to keep my sanity. With the playerbase quality getting worse due to the Summer break, I get to see lots of noobs more lately which are much worse than bots since they don’t cooperate or play the objective and this is a good reason why they need to get rid of the losing penalty if they want to try to reduce desertion especially among officers along with compensation for getting a battle hero and actually stayed till the end.
I still remember the time when WR wasn’t a thing until profiles have been added so some people would just stat padding stuff getting the highest WR on a certain faction and campaign as possible.
