as I said, I basically generated it in chatgpt, for this type of issues, even though you can’t always trust AI, it literally has described all the problems enlisted have without even knowing the game at all and gave a specific solution that many forum members have already mentioned.
this is not equal to the holy truth, chatgpt is not able to take into account all aspects of the game and what the developers’ intentions are (no one knows this, probably even themselves)
I only gave this as a general indication of how it should theoretically be in order to solve problems enlisted suffer from. in practice, we have a toxic axis flame squad so nvm
Remember all good old fps games? Old school CoD, RO1&2, medal of honour etc. ?
There was no concept of xp in those games. Everyone played and gave their fullest because there was no penalty for losing. Nobody deserted at all (except eternal salty skill issue ppl but eh), everyone only focused on fun.
Enlisted is different, being grind based with enormous xp requirements…
In Enlisted, there’s a big penalty for being in the losing side. If you normalize the 1.5% bonus the winning side gets as just the normal amount of xp, the fact the losing side does not get it could also mean a plain penalty. Different way of saying it, but it’s an equivalent.
Now ppl will say “but ppl will stop trying to win without xp incentives!!!” It’s just not true. At all. Humanity being competitive by nature, even with 0 xp involved in game, players try to win. It was true in good old games I mentioned up. Still true today. Just go see custom matchs, like:
(Free advertising) @tommyZZM fantastic Big action mod! In this mode you can play truly large scale battles! Call reall arty strikes, build tons of different stuffs, transport vehicles, fun! Play it you fools.
Ppl try to win in this. And sadly we get no xp for it… Yet I get more fun here than base game
Kids starting a race in the playground: Kid who won the meaningless race sure is happy to boast about it.
It’s everywhere. Those saying 1.5x is NECESSARY to incentive ppl to play objectives are either delusional or hypocrites. It’s just a sweet xp bonus. Everyone like xp. I like xp. You like xp. I already win most of the time, xp bonus is nice, but when losing, even when hard fought battles, the no 1.5% penalty is just… meh.
most likely they’re afraid their XP boost will be gone when in practice the missing XP boost will be transfered somewhere else to remain exp gain as it is.
Doesn’t make sense. I am desserting because it’s waste of time to not win. 1,5x is huge bonus. I am wasting time every time I try to carry bad team which is going to loose anyway.
I am trying to get as many things as I can before merge.
There is a problem that can’t be ignored. Players who run away from the team will greatly affect your victory, which is why people are angry. Because the players who stayed were harmed by the players who escaped, and if no one in the team escaped, then everyone might have no resentment.
“Lol” they will, because the sense of inequalities created by the big difference in rewards. One side is heavily rewarded for playing well. The other side gets jack shit, even players who lost because of the time, but DID play well.
I think rewarding the top players on the losing side is a great idea. Neutralize the multiplier for wining/losing - the worst thing that they could do.
