Storeh - Playing advance to the rhine at 10.0, of course the same old thing happens where 90% of the team do their thing and steam into A for team deathmatch.
I go through the middle of the map to push C.
There’s an enemy there and i’m pinging him with machine gun and map alerts, he’s got me pinned in the forest, and is then joined by a friend.
I see this Leo steaming from B down the back road responding to my pings, flanks behind, kills one, crits the other as I start pushing and then finishes him off.
I wait in C to repair, he speeds off to A, I see the same two guys coming back to C for some revenge, I ping again and this CHAD turns around, ignores A, and comes back. Between us we take these two guys out before he rushes back to A to help in the TDM. I stay holding C and he comes back AGAIN when another 2 players start pushing me on C and we both get a kill each.
We won, and he finished on 11 kills, 2 caps, 1 assist and a couple of deaths. Blackcat#46 you’re a true player.
Point being, there should be a way to compliment decent players, and say every 10 positive reports they get, they get a gift like a wager or 10% booster. Obviously the rewards can’t be too high otherwise people will manipulate it in squads, and make a limit to the number of times you can compliment a player or something, but so many other games have a feature that is similar to this.
In the sea of bots and cheaters, it’s refreshing to actually get someone who plays the game as it should be and has an IQ higher than room temperature.
This is such a good idea that it honestly makes you wonder why it wasnt implemented yet. For all the annoying matches with 0 teams you have, bugs, getting gaijinned, volumetricked, griefed, matched with or against cheaters and all you can do is report players or ask for a change on the forums, in any way youre dealing with quite a high load of negative things.
Yet that one time you have an awesome team, or someone that stands out specifically, all you can do is text this player afterwards and be like"gg, well played etc…" which i do and it always feels wholesome (because it doesnt happen a lot) most games have something like this.
It could also be coupled with getting special decals for a certain amount of compliments/positive feedback of other players (could be implemented that it needs to be different players not always the same 3, this would only count as 3 total no matter how often those squadmates/friends do so) or EVEN a unlockable vehicle or whatever for a VERY high amount. Like, this games whole selling point is content. Encourage friendly, good and playstyle/team spirit encouraging behavior by giving these players content is not the worst idea, srsly.
Would encourage being helpful and a teamplayer and is a mechanic that afaik most other big pvp games already uses. not WT tho, interestingly.
Even just a system/method to “send a compliment” or “someone said you did awesome in a match”, showing to them as some graphic (e.g. heart, thumbs up, or some other icon).
Sent anonymously (or optionally could include your nick if you wanted).
Could even have a few options of pre-made text which appears to them in their own language (rather than a chat message from a different language) so they understand it.
e.g. A notification of something like
Someone sent you:
“hey, thanks for helping me”
or, “You did awesome that match!”
…etc…
Doesn’t have to add up to a reward (to avoid abuse) or be visible to anyone else via in-game methods (to avoid narcissm)… just a good ol’ warm fuzzy :)
