BTW, why I had posted the most controversial topic–Compensating campaign progression. Is the BEST solution to ALL of my following suggestions (Depend on my speed)
The more dev wiped the progression and compensate it.
The more fresh restart it will going to be. And less problems dev going to have.
Currently we have PzIV F2/J, PzIII J, T-34s, Tiger E, Bf 110 C-7, and lots more tanks and planes, which are repeatedly unlocks across campaigns.
What are you going to deal with all repeated model of vehicles? (Squad merge is another topic)
And for different upgrade progression for the same model of vehicle? (Vehicle Stars)
Also, what about different total stars?
Also, different load outs???
For example, Normandy’s PzIII N dosent has HEAT, but Stalingrad’s one has.
Of course you will going to let players able to select load outs. But it’s beyond SOON™. No news at all. Not expecting it going to arrive anytime soon.
And different camouflage???
You said to keep some historical accuracy, you gonna automatically change the camo. Emm…
Suggestion:
If you gonna KEEP all existing squads, and different squads can use their own squad’s (previous progressed) same model of vehicles. Then, DO NOTHING. We may use two squad with same model of tanks in the same match. Not a problem.
If you gonna MERGE the squads with same unlocks. Then here we go:
- Keep player’s highest leveled up vehicles, while refunding the other less leveled up ones. (By golds, green tickets, silver tickets, just any kinds of refund is acceptable. Best is to refund by how players used to level up it)
This also gonna solve the different stars problem. - MERGE all unlocked ammo load out, and keep one vehicles. (It’s such a ridiculous problem. Forcing dev to release loadout selection after the merge. When they never announce in advance about this feature/)
- About camo. Are you going to LOCK the camo when players hasnt unlock it in previous campaigns (So stupid)? Or just refund the repeated/conflict progression. And let players able to use both of them based on maps/campaigns, as long as he unlocked it in one of the campaigns. Giving the game a fresh restart.
Seriously, just compensate all players progression/paid golds, and let all of the progression RESTART freshly. If you gonna trying to refund as little as possible, and keep all existing stuff. You gonna mess the game really hard.
Vehicle’s corresponding squad problem—the squad with corresponding unlocked weapons/vehicle is another messy topic.
