What can we do to encourage new players to play longer?

What do you think Gaijin, DF, and players should do to thicken the player base of the game, so that newcomers to the game will enjoy it longer?
Please write whatever comes to mind as a brainstorming session from the players’ point of view.

What I can come up with

What I would like the Devs to do
□ make BR1-2 grind easier
□Create a PVE mode for BR1-2
□Give 50000 silver to first time players as a war fund.

What I would like Gaijin to do
□Create Asia and Oceania servers.

What we need to do
□ Not to make fun of or abuse newbies or console players

At least seperate 1-2 from 3.

There is still issue of people abusing howitzer tank though.

-Gameplay

  • Fix the Gun sights for weapons so players won’t have to strain their eyes to see what they are aiming at and their peripheral vision isn’t blocked off.
  • Let motorcycles detach sidecars if they are able to in real life.
  • Make sprinting feel like sprinting in the first person, giving a greater feeling of shifting weight from hip to hip.
  • Make swords, shovels, and axes more deadly and intricate.
  • Fix maps to be historically accurate (players appreciate this, and gameplay appreciates this).
  • Allow for vehicle speed to be seen in the Imperial system, not just the Metric system.
  • Get rid of dispersion for semi-auto rifles (the Type Hei is bad enough as it is…).
  • Fix the in-game menu so players can see the whole map.

-Customization

  • Add new pin-ups consistently
  • Add Marine Customization (I am waiting for my utility hat :eyes:)
  • Add the Soviet Galliffet trousers
  • Lower Pinup prices to 100 gold
  • Add the white gloves and Hachimaki headband to the Japanese customization

-Tech Trees

  • Create sub-factions to shorten the grind of tech trees.
  • Folder weapons that are modified versions of previous guns unlocked (All the Enfield rifles would be foldered under one version etc).
  • Lower xp cost for utility weapons (an M2 Mortar is not worth 160k+ xp)
  • Folder vehicles that are modified versions of a previously unlocked vehicle (All P-51 Mustangs would be foldered under one Mustang)

-Economy

  • Up silver intake to a minimum of 4k win or lose (If not, then lower the silver cost for items in the shop).

-Sounds

  • Add new voice lines, replace bad voice lines, and bring in new voice actors to redo and do new voice lines.
  • Create the voice lines by phrases said by actual soldiers in WW2 (Use memoirs and diaries of soldiers)

That is a HUGE uptick. It’ll lead to double if not triple Silver income

Make BR1 and 2 separate from BR3, how do these people defend the current BR3 in game, new players in T1 and T2 can’t do anything against scumbags in KV1s and Shermans when the best thing they have is a mabey a panzer 3B

also make it so the vets cant quit matches with no penalty to seal club poor noobs playing modes they wont touch with them on one team,u should get some grace period before u hit the meat grinder with tier2and 3 especially when they only got 4 man squads. they do nned to do a few things cuz as a new player myself the one thing the old mode had going for it was alot easier to navigate and relaxed gameplay then now.

I like this idea but it would take from the MM pool, perhaps if the rewards in PVE were half “squad mode” rewards.

Definitely

Yes, some adjustments are needed in this area, High BR is quite expensive to upgrade

Go look at the silver prices for upgrading tier V weapons and upgrading vehicles.

11

What? 20k Silver?

12

In other games, every new player receives a 7-days premium for free.

This would help to increase the player base.

It cost me almost 100k to upgrade one vehicle fully. Luckily, I am loaded with extra soldiers pre-merge, so I can sell anything leftover when needed.

Newbies can’t do this, so they are left to grind 100k silver just to upgrade one vehicle. Do you enjoy this happening to them?

14

And maybe a double XP weekend would be nice as well so the new players can stay around and get some extra XP and silver when it’s the weekend

Not necessarily. Shoot I just went broke myself. Lol. Only got 4k Silver left from buying new guns

16

That is exactly why the wages need to go up.

17

Lower the amount of grind, simple as that. :neutral_face:

18

Nah we need WT levels of grind round here. Take a full year to get through 1 tree

19

Maybe. I don’t see too much of an issue with how they are now, but if it makes the playerbase grow then send it

20

Just make BR1 a separate BR from 2 and 3
