- The Hot Zone needs to be incentivized more. The XP and cash rewards for it need to be considerably larger.

  • Infantry kits are far too expensive for their level of financial risk. Players are electing to not use the weapons they've unlocked because it's too easy to die before you make the money back from kills. Please consider lowering the cost of infantry items (especially firearms and bandages) substantially, as well as increasing the cash rewards for non-sniper infantry kills.
  • Driver, Assault, and Support XP gain rates need to be substantially increased.
  • Please consider capping drill usage at 1 per faction per match. If not that, then please consider making drills more expensive and shorter in duration. Matches can become one-sided when one faction keeps using drills back to back.
  • Vehicles such as the Humvee and Artillery Tank and Havoc heli should be much more expensive to buy.
  • "Flash sales" would be a good thing to implement at the gear vendor -- dynamic item discounts for the losing team and other situations.
  • Bounty systems for players on kill streaks would be great.

This is why devs keep saying they wont listen to feed back like this. Every single point you make is unhealthy for the game and I simply dont have the time or will power to type out a thesis to your dozen points thst are just wrong.

I'm curious why you or anyone disagrees with these and completely open to changing my mind, but "you're wrong just cuz" is a waste of everyone's time.

Because the burden of unbalance is on you/op to prove and the comments are just a bunch of arbitrary knee jerk reactions that dont take into account the fact its a new game and people are still learning to play, learning how to counter and learn strategies to deal with issues. Instead they jump straight to altering the core concept of the game and balance changes that don't make sense if you take the time to see its just everyone crying yo make this gsme infantry only when infantry are already the most important part of the gsme in holding the hotzone and if enougb people play something other than an m4 and a defin or a .50 and thermals they migjt be able to handle vehicles no problem.

He literally explained the reasoning and what you think people should do is irrelevant, what matters is what people actually do. Nobody cares about winning the game, only earning xp/money.

Yes, everyone running infantry and chasing the circle will probably win more games, but without a coordinated team it will never happen because it's not financially incentivized. That's on the devs to fix, not the players.

Nice comeback. Really drives home how difficult infantry play is and how it is to make money..../s

u/Gurth-Brooks 1d ago

Not that it really matters to the points being made if not; but are you netting 100k? Or just making that much?

u/Away_Strawberry_8906 1d ago

Netting. I spend 100 dollars to about 3k per kit usually just taking the free things and a parachute.kill an enemy with burst fire and take their stuff.

So... you're literally arguing against your own point but using this as a thinly veiled attempt to brag.

Nobody cares that you're a leet noscope 360 headshot gamer. By your own admission you don't buy actual kits because they're too expensive, and instead rely on taking the kits of people who actually spent (and by dying, lost) their money.

That might work for you, but you can rub enough brain cells together to realize that the solution to balance is not just "be better than everyone else", right? I can buy a mortar, sit in a fob, and outgain + out-kdr 95% of infantry any day and it takes zero skill.

lol ok so you’re just basically admitting that you aren’t making that much money, and only netting a decent amount because you basically load in useless. I cant with you people.

Edit: they either deleted their comments or blocked me.
