Solution to One-Death-Leavers / One-Death-Quitters Problem

[Wummele1]

Yes it really does seem like that, you can go from missing everything, doing no damage to the one shot vehicles that you thought you were not even aimed properly at. Easy coverall is server problems, lag etc, but it seems that it is done intentionally a fine balance between annoying a player enough so they quit to getting them to play on and maybe spend their way too hard earned cash on basically a nebulous, non-existing item.

To be totally honest the game is an unbalanced , possibly rigged and predetermined thoroughly poor gaming experience. Most of the ground vehicles are just added to bulk out tech trees and boast that the game has more ground vehicles than any other and we have the World Record to say it is true, but vehicles in the low tiers like the majority of the armoured cars are just a waste.

Low tiers can be some of the most fun games you can have in this game however.

@Wummele1

Reasons for quitting early are as varied and unique as grains of sand on a beach, personally I often if not always leave after one death, it is more realistic for a start and I also do not like feeding kills to people in a system which is already unbalanced and of course the endemic cheating at all tiers, especially in Ground.People getting double digit kills to me is a failure of the system to match things properly not necessarily an indicator of skill or a lack of cheating.

The problem is not 1 or 2 people ODL. The problem exists when half your team is gone in the span of 3 minutes and you suddenly realise you are fighting alone.

This would be solved if they simply locked top tier premiums until you reach rank 6 in your first tree, and then after you research your first TT top tier vehicle (it doesnt have to be end of the line) im thinking 10.0. All prems unlock in all other nations. They wont cause money but would be a good fix

[Wummele1]

Low tiers can be fun but really only because you have nothing to lose and the repair times are so short, generally they are a twitchy, sugar, caffeine close quarter combat knife fight. Ideal for the hyped up energy drink generation but not very engaging or interesting.
You second part is interesting you have to ask why are so many people leaving so soon, are they all intentionally picking on you in an organised way so you have a less than pleasurable experience or are the reasons a lot more complex and run deep into the actual heart of this game and the decisions that were originally made by the company ?

No it’s because you play funny wacky pre war unique vehicles.

I never even implied a reason. But often it is people bringing no lineup and only having a single tank and single plane. Way easier to check now with the new lineup showing feature

[Wummele1]

Bringing no line up which the company actively encourages and condones with the purchase of high tier vehicles, planes and ships. You see the advert and want to drive and battle in the Abraham or latest generation jet only to find you have to wade through nearly one hundred years worth of design, development and the games glacial progress, far easier to get the credit card out and jump right in. We as so called experienced players already know the pitfalls, no modifications a stock vehicle, no crew skills and also no other vehicles in your line up unless you spend another eighty dollars.
This is even worse in the Israeli tech tree you literally have no choice but to have one vehicle in your line up until you research more and the BR ratings make it troublesome. Unless of course again you pay for the privilege of having a line more agreeable to players like yourself.
Also some countries literally have one vehicle at a BR so in the uptier/downtier fun and games you will have vehicles in your line up that will struggle.
All in all a right mess if you think about it, and as normal the individual is blamed not the set up or system, an approach like in Kaizen or 5S would be more sensible.

Example: If a player continously one-death-leaves for 10 games he will be tagged by the matchmaker as “ODL” and gets in the pool of players that will be put together into games while everyone else will NOT be matched with them. Once a player has this tag it takes a week for him to be able to “qualify” to get rid of this tag again by changing his playstyle. If the player qualifies for losing “ODL” tag he can then join normal battles again.

I have no problem with a single vehicle only format. On the contrary, I welcome it…it means no more AC farming the ground game, something I have been asking for since the beta.

But you don’t have to “tag” me with that label, let me set it myself. I only run 1 vehicle, it has 0 to do with premiums, and I will never respawn after my first death. And I make no apologies for that.

So yeah, a single spawn format would be fantastic. It won’t happen because there’s no way Gaijin will take AC’s ability to farm points out of the ground game. But I like your proposal nonetheless.

Did you hear about this game, which I cannot name here, but its initials are WoT ? ;)

[Vortex]

Played it for many years. It has it’s own sky cancer (arty) that pollutes the game…and a far more restrictive game format. Been there, done that, didn’t buy the t-shirt :).
