30% gameplay 70% spawn menu

When I was a new player, I luckily got into good squads with good communication. A SL needed me to build nodes, so I switched to engineer but had no clue how to do it or what he meant. He went with me to where I needed to build them and walked me through all the stuff engineers could do. He was pretty chill too, didn't seem annoyed and he even went with instead of just explaining. The guy was awesome. Sadly other new players don't always get into squads like tho (though it also shouldn't be the players job to explain how the game works to newbies.)

2100+ hours in and I see no end to my desire to play this game. It's the best game ever and infinitely replayable. But it is different if you are the commander and can tell everyone what to do. They usually listen eventually, especially when losing.

This game is so team dependant it's insane especially considering 95% of players don't communicate.

Good points, Terry. I'm still playing, however implementing your feedback would lead to me playing and appreciating HLL more. My suggestion, adding multiple mission-based objectives to conquest (like placing mines on a bridge, destroying an ammo depot, what have you), the challenge would be having missions impact the game flow in an engaging and fair manner.

I'm telling you we need a "Noob Server", one that new players are required to use first...said server would have set objectives like building garrisons and nodes with achievement unlocks that have splash screens explaining what you've accomplished, how it benefits your team and followed by another splash screen on what is next to be learned/achieved before graduating from this HLL boot camp server.

Interesting chat Terry. Thanks for all the content on Hell Let Loose, you’ve certainly helped me get to grips and enjoy the game. I would love to have time to play Hunt. I’ll be watching your content on that to see if it’s worth it for me. Thanks again!

My main gripe with this game is we have this huge map available but are forced to condense it down to fight over one point. You can only "flank" so many times to spice it up until you realize it is just going down the same other 2 paths again and again

For anyone having similar issues as terrydactl, think about potentially joining a clan. Obviously Terry is a content creator and streamer so his situation is different, but if you're just playing casually by yourself, your experience will be greatly improved by having reliable teammates.

I feel like im absolutely in the same boat as you. similar hours in game and even with the new update it just feels like more hell let loose, you put it really well in the video about not getting that excitment or surprise anymore. just feeling the extreme burn out. Glad you and redcoat are having fun with hunt though, great game that my buddies and i spent a lot of time in.

My main issue is people jumping into the squad lead role without a mic. They don't set up an OP or a garrison the entire match and never say a single word.

I'd be happy with a Domination or King of the Hill mode for sure 👍👍 Thanks for the shoutout (I like how you used the clip from Hunt where I was just dead on the floor being carried. 100% accurate)

Had a lot of fun in the NPA servers. Went back this weekend but it wasn’t the same. I was in a few matches with you and mono. Great times

i feel you terry i got a little over 600hours in HLL and im full right now, theres a lot of things that help with that 1. the class grind is sloow after lvl5 in every class 2. the lack of good matches 3. and the lack of the tutorial as you said just to name some of the issues, what new game mode could be interesting hmm i would call it Operation (something) : one group has to capture specific points that will give access to stationary weapons( that engi's need to build with alot of supplies) to destroy maybe a heavy fortified point on the map so you can advance to the next point and so on. have a set of different operations on some maps. Or maybe introduce some holiday timelimit events like PS had the halloween zombie mode, that every server can opt to put into map rotation when they are live. But its nice to hear you enjoy hunt, the game you love to hate sometimes haha

One thing that I have found myself getting bored about is progression, or lack thereof. It is cool to unlock new loadouts, but A LOT of the time the first loadout is the most well rounded one, with other loadouts being for specific scenarios. Not to mention how deathly slow it is to level up. I get tired of playing a role by the time I get it to level 5. I would like to know how role XP is determined, how 10k XP can translate to 500-1k Role XP. Some role XP makes sense, like medic gaining xp with every heal and revive, maybe support earning xp every time their supplies or ammo is used by another player. But other roles like machine gunner, both riflemen, assault, don't really have a role specific way to gain extra role XP. That leads to the (bug/feature?) of a bunch of people spawning in as engineer and building nodes, then switching their desired role to rack up the passive XP. And it works. I can get 400 role XP for playing AT normally, but if I first build nodes at the start of an hour game, that gives me up to 3,000! This leads me to believe HLL doesn't even have a specific system where you gain more XP if you do your specific role, rather just a very, VERY small percentage of your overall XP goes to your role. And even using this feature with the nodes to level up, it is still incredibly slow. In short, the only sense of progression in the game is to spend 100 hours on a role to unlock loadouts you won't use. Personally, I worked for the paratrooper outfit which looks cool. The game can be fun sometimes the rare occasion you get a commander that does his job and squad leaders that do theirs. It is very rare to have both at the sometime, you either get squad leaders that walk by supplies without placing a garrison, or a commander that never drops supplies or airheads. Not to mention I play on console, which isn't well optimized. The controls are horrible for controller, you can increase your sensitivity for close range, then be waving all over the place at long range or lower your sensitivity to long range and then be standing still trying to quickly aim at a guy you run up on. A simple aim curve type to choose from would be a nice fix. That plus the framerate and stuttering even on the Xbox series x is horrible, I have never gotten 60fps, not even in the menu it feels. As a console player I would almost rather them optimize the game instead of adding new maps and vehicles. If I hopped on and could look around freely and be quick AND accurate instead of feeling like a sumo wrestler, and the game ran at 60fps with no vehicle rubber banding or stuttering, that would be enough of a refresher for me. It almost feels like new content is wasted on console because it can't properly be enjoyed with a smooth gameplay experience. TLDR: what killed the game for me is the deathly slow and useless progression as well as extremely rough gameplay on console. If you took the time to read my rant let me know If you agree!

I was just thinking yesterday that I haven’t seen a HLL video from Terrydactyl. That is a shame mate but you are right. I’m 1400 odd hours in & I don’t play it as much mainly because of the way the new players play & im sick of always being squad leader & it is just getting harder to find decent squads that want to communicate effectively. I think they need to work on the arty it’s one of the things that I hate about HLL & some different game modes would be great. Hope to see you come back soon. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

We'll miss you Terry!! I've played loads of matches with you brother, (MurphysIrish) so this is a bummer personally. I hear ya, I understand your perspective for sure, I would say that I've always wondered if combining a love of a game (or games) with making content for a YT channel skewed enjoyment or would have a negative impact long term, and I think your leaving and others like FreshBakedGoods and AlpineSniper making less content shows that to be true. Nothing last's forever brother, take care and god's speed.

honestly without a tutorial, the crazy skill ceiling, and all the new players, just kinda blah

With regard to the quality of players and the lack of tutorial, I believe the issue is that the leveling up and unlocks on equipment are not properly linked to upskilling in the game. If the game had a skills tree for each role and this plus the experience points in the role unlocks the extra weapons then this incentives players to progressively learn the skills they need by rewarding them via unlocks. So a SL needs to upskill via first learning to place OPs, then Garrisons, then get the best defence score in a match, using ther mic, etc.

Hey Terry Respect to your choice! I hope that you’ll find a game that you’ll play just as much and love like hll. Sad to see you go, but I understand, it’s no fun to play a game all the time if you’re burnt out on it. Thank you for the time you let me play with you! That truly was very much a cool experience. Haven’t seen much of your content lately though, but that’s because I know live at a boarding school. All in all keep up the great work! Love your content. From Asger

I think adding a game mode where capturing certain objectives changes the trajectory of the match would be cool. Like blowing up AA guns would allow commanders to use their bombing runs and recon. Or blowing up anti tank artillery would allow a second tank for your team. Even blowing up some radar systems would be cool as well. Something that teams can decide what they want to go for, on top of trying to capture a point.

My clan is in a comp atm with our own format - a single point is fought over and you're limited to the four grid squares as the play area. 2 garris allowed per side in the two squares adjacent to the play area and 18 players per team with a 30 min time limit. Our comp got mentioned by the devs in a recent update but we'd love if they can help us out so we don't have to keep making up our own formats to keep things fresh.

I think the game needs way more maps, dynamic weather, and something to make it feel a bit different to give it atmosphere. Also certain classes and guns are just super meta and it makes other classes or guns not as viable if you're trying really hard to frag

There is no team what allow me to join them. So how can I learn this game?

I just started playing about a month ago, I enjoy it but I definitely have gripes about it. I don't want another BF game but there are several things that would make it more enjoyable for new people. There is no social aspect to the game that 'forces' you to work with people to have a good experience playing it. I can't make friend requests or even queue with said friends in a straightforward manner. My own personal friends don't play, so it'd be nice to be able to join up with people I've had great rounds and was able to connect with. That's what squads in real life would be, right? A group of dudes who just click together and get a job done. I have been in some great ones but mostly its been quiet and everyone doing their own thing and in a format that isn't really conducive to it. Gate keepers need to chill a bit too. Yeah we get it, free weekends and people without mics suck but what are YOU personally doing to grow the community so that it sucks less?

In terms of extra game modes - single objective mode based on the map is an option. So establish a bridgehead and hold for 30 mins over a bridge or river. Take and hold the high ground, or get two sets of tanks off the far end of the map within a time limit. Clear all enemy garrisons off the map (no rebuilds) . Airborne operations mode is another option, glider landings.

You've been playing the game for upwards of 3 years now. Sometimes you just need to switch things up. That's totally fine and as someone who will continue to play and enjoy the game, I'll still continue to sub and hope you make the occasional update video for the game.

when I started in Hell let Loose I would die at least 20 times per match, 99% of those deaths I didn't see one enemy, then I started to branch out to other roles and I even went on KZfaq for tips. the big thing about hell let loose is you need good commanders and squad leads so that time between engagements is miniscule. if you are a new player just stick with your squad, don't be afraid to talk to others, if you can pave a way for your squad lead to place a Garry (Garrison) or OP (Outpost) then your next push can be farther into enemy lines. the last thing I'll say is give the medic role a try! you will start to realize how valuable you can become, (A scenario if you will) say you got enemies on a ridge and you and your squad mates are pinned in a trench and 3 squaddies die, if you revive them you got yourself 3 more people with guns ready to fight and make that push possible.

on top of what you said, another huge issue for me are the servers, no matter what server, everyones on 80+ ping.

I have put tones of hours on pc and ps5 on hell let loose since launch on pc and ps5 . I think mini objectives on the maps could make small or impactful difference on gameplay loop. Like build some AA guns in set locations to stop enemy air support then the enemy got to take them out which will reenable commanders air strike (make it random or a timed event or if one team is winning too much ). secure resources/ammunition for commander in random locations like you got to get a truck to a random location (preferably a building or dig out ) guard it for 3 minutes so it loads up then get it back to HQ to secure it , Establish a forward HQ that can spawn light vehicles and resupply at for each faction takes A squad and the commander to actually build in set locations but ther can only 1 per side but it can be over run and destroyed . Recon squads that have to go scout an random area on the map and sit there for 2-3 minutes which awards the commander a free spotter plane and resets the cool down . This one probably a mad one but if you kill the enemy commander they drop intel bag which you need collect within 8 minutes then get back to your commander which will reveal enemy buildable defences and building for brief to time to all squads but the enemy commander can retrieve this intel back if no one came for it or timers runs out . Invasion could have a couple of points to capture at the same time but make it random on certain lines rather than just 1 at time make either one big push to each one or team splitting up .

You could bring a server side tutorial. You automatically connect to one available in your language and then you can spawn at each station. There you get taught the game. You can even have other players running around with you there, like a training camp in real life. So new ones can even get to know each other and you can practice communication. Every few minutes you can spawn there at a point and the tutorial starts all over again. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing and wouldn't affect the structure. There is even immersion when other players practice with you.

Some great ideas for game modes!

Same reasons for me. I feel the devs missed an opportunity to flesh out the spawn and resource meta to make the game more interesting (e.g. if nodes had more of an impact and were linked to Garrisons, it'd create mini strongpoints to fight over and capture / destroy). It could also make you more reliant on team mates. They prioritised multi platform instead of focusing on improving the core game / gameplay loop itself. I can see why but think it's ended up being weaker for everyone as a result. When I realised there was 0 intention to change this, I lost interest.

I agree it’s hard to just come in as a new player it’s taken me a while to get a hang of it but I love the game itself

I also took a break from the game after the release of U12. Just starting to get back into it now after like 6 months. I'm sure you will eventually get back into it.

Learning the different roles is the toughest for me. Hell, I'm at 230/240 hours, like level 103 and my engineer is still only Level 1. Finding the right squad that is willing to help is getting tougher and tougher or even having a squad lead that communicates at all is harder to find. More and more I see people create a squad, everybody piles in and then they switch their role outta officer. My personal opinion is the game quality went down with the free weekend and that was when I was only probably level 60/70 or so. I'm at 103 now and only played SL a handful of times because 3/4 of the way through a game the squad lead leaves and no one else will do it and I do it just so we have updated OPs. It's not my favorite thing as I am not the best at communication on the SL level. I do good as the grunt, just not as the SL.

For some reason I can't seem to find the name of this game???

To add to Kaden Ts point I just joined 2 weeks ago wasn't sure what to do for certain classes or ops/Garry's but anytime I asked people were glad to help the community is great and helpful but a lot of people refuse or don't communicate usually 2 or 3 out of 5 members are talking unfortunately.

Hey mate! Loong time not seen! Lovely Content as always! I have to admit i Kinda get your feelings Towards HLL, its alot of the same, and lately its insane how many Noob's we got in the game, Its not a bad thing, but alot of people just run around not knowing what to do! and thats a issue, i also exsperiance lack of communication. I have Been quite bussy with school/studys, and i also got a big intrest in ships since of my studys, so i played a lot og World of "Duck" (War) Ships lately, i have had that game since it was 1 year old back in 2017 i think it was. but havent really been into how to play it, just jumped in a match or 2 with friends and that was it, now i learned to play it propper! and i actually feel in the Money trap compeard to buying Content for the game. but well that ship happens. have been grinding the last month or so for a Premium Dockyard ship, and have played the game so much that i now want a break from it xD So i started with a few matches of HLL Yeasterday and today, and boy oh boy i missed the game, but also hate it at the same time, since there are so many new players and bad communication the game is just different, from when we meet. But i have to admit it was nice with a Small study and World of duck ship break. Now i kinda feel like its nostalgic to come back and play HLL and more enjoyably. Also Will still and Always be a Supporter of the game, always been a big fan og the HLL team, so the new content for it i will 100% get it even though i migght not play the game as mutch as i used to its still nice to come back once and a vile and have fun again. So your decision on taking a break is fair, and understandebly! We all hope to see more/other great content from you! And also i hope even though you dont play HLL as much that you keep going with your HLL update videos, course they are very nice! thats actully how i started knowing you and how i got new information about the game, you where my guy to go to! Well all in all Keep on the good Work buddy! you have a suport here for life! :D

Cool story bro . We'll keep playing

They could set up "live exercises" where particular tasks are outlined, when complete next "mode" opens. No requirement to hand over any additional code..

I would love a mode where the offensive team has to take or destroy locations to advance, defence gets multiple points to defend and has to mobilize and move the the actual target location once they determine the offensive targets

I was wondering where you've been. But I knew because I was watching your videos for awhile and the last week you played it looked like you weren't trying.

I'm on a break too. I can't wait to get back in it

Level 84 and I just hopped in armor for the first time. Didn’t think there was so much to it but I liked it. Hopefully I’ll find some more squads willing to work with my lol

I respect your thoughts tbh, I understand them, I left warzone to play HLL & its going on 2weeks, I love it but I do understand your points... I played warzone religiously until recently so this game is a nice break & it's more challenging

I totally disagree with you on those three points. HLL is still the best teamplay game out there as of right now. You just need to find a good server to have a good teamwork such as Garry and Whiskey, if you want to have fun and maybe hair pulling session, then go to "new players are welcomed" server.

Also.. why couldn't they just create an online tutorial that exists on a "private" server that just doesn't get added to any of the search queues?

Tutorial happened bro! You played lately?

I been wanting to level up my other classes, but I'm constantly forced to play Squad leader/ Commander. because as soon as I join pretty much any squad, the SL quits and no one wants to or they don't know how to play SL. But for the most part, most the players I play with have mics and I can get the squad organized and we kick butt. So it's fun. But I would love to be allowed to play something else.

A holy truth! There are other things that this game needs but when it comes to the gamemodes, the game could use the original mode with 5x5 sectors and relative freedom of their capture order. Also would welcome a gamemode with the actual objectives too (not just capping some boring circles) - even was suggesting it in the HLL discord years ago and wasn't alone with it. There could be so many objective types! Find, defend, destroy, kill, clear obstacles, diffuse a minefield... and after completing/failing them it could even impact the game like reward/penal with manpower, reveal something else on the map, allow/disallow usage of various call-ins etc etc... Shame nothing such was ever added to the game and likely never will. :(

lvl 150 guy here . On my perspective there is 3 main reasons why the game suck : - the first one is veteran gamers of the game that are already lvl 10 in squad leader role or commander so I end in a game where I want to play assault or machingunner bcs I just want to play something else but it end up in a cluster fuck game bcs player expect me or other to take the role instead of lvl 18 guy. -A lot of people do not want to play the game how it was supposed to be played : a lot of player just play to have positif a kda ratio , run arround like it is call of duty , always go on attack ect... They are new players/blueberries and garrisons that end up picked up by the team that have the most veteran player. So it end up with a lot of one sided match. -Squad lock : The squad lock is the last and most important feature that single-handedly killed the communication on the game. A lot of people or veteran doesn't want to play with anybody other than their friendon discord/teamspeak. So in a game where you need 50 people to cooperate , there is at least 2 or 3 locked squad that doesn't cooperate or just complaining. It sucks, hell let loose may die bcs of this if there is no more content . Might switch on post scriptum or the new hell let loose game fan made game that will come out in 2023 on unity 5.

The GOAT has returned!

I mean if the problem is that making an offline tutorial would help cheaters, why not make them online only tutorials, I mean you can only play the game online anyways?

Haven't stopped, but slowed down a lot until the rest of our group can play.

I think an escort mode would be cool or a search and destroy mode with 20 v 20 on a condensed map instead of the usual 50 v 50

I started a few days ago, its easy to get into, people on comms are helpful. But yeah they should add more game modes.

a team death match on a small map would be really fun for fast pace stuff though

The full armor mode is the one thing that really stands out to me. Big tank heavy historical battles like Kursk or El-Alamein would be really cool to see. Balancing infantry with armor in that wouldn't be terribly difficult. The biggest problem I've seen is that SLs barely talk or do anything beyond maybe putting up an OP. The only really good communication I've seen has been all in tanks, and you're practically forced to talk in a tank.

I'm a relatively new player as of late. I picked up the game about a year ago but didn't play it too much, because of, well, life. Finally had the chance to start playing and I've logged about 60 or so hours now. I feel like there definitely is a steep learning curve with this game and I'm sure that causes many people to shy away from picking it up. However I've found that there are many great people on KZfaq here that put out excellent tutorials for specific roles. Personally, I agree with the reasoning as to why there is no official in-game tutorial. In my opinion, the solution to that would be to have the team record a series of official role guides and mechanics tutorials. Furthermore, a UI element could be added to the Main Menu, delineated simply with a "Help" button, or similar, that redirects you to their official KZfaq channel (kind of like how they have buttons for all the socials and what-not at the bottom of the menu). The manual we have currently is a fantastic resource, however it's not realistic to expect everybody to read through it and actually comprehend what they're reading. In my experience so far, everything I've learned, has been done on my own. I've been dealing with the problem where, whenever I try to ask for help in game, either NO ONE responds to me, or I get gatekept and shunned, for whatever reason. So, I just never ask people questions any more. For me, it's just not worth the hassle. Honestly at this point, my mic rarely gets switched on now. In most of the games I've played so far: practically no one communicates, no one wants to play squad lead, and when people DO communicate, it's just toxic jabber. Sorry if this turned into a bit of rant, but I feel like I needed to address these things from my own personal experience as a new player.

i mean it is realistic sending soldiers without training. can anyone tell me where can i get it for free. i suport the devs but cant afford it

Is this game available for ps4?

I think object base points that result in limited resources for your team could be a good idea. Destroying ammo depots limits ammunition and so on.

Everything you've said is exactly why I stopped playing months ago !!

👍 That was my first question when I joined my first HLL server a week ago, is there a training mission to play ? Nice anticipation mate 👍 Sad that I never bump into you on HLL .

I was on a run of playing HLL, but am on a break at the moment playing FH5, I'll come back to it though.

Definitely want to come back and play but I need to grind this Hunt Showdown event first.

Can xbox and PC play this game together

Literally about to start as a new player. Watching vids as a pre tutorial. Seems like there should be community 'war games' servers, where people can practice various roles and manoeuvres.

Heck with it take a break, let the new content pile up, and then we come back haha XD

I agree that they need more content. Other than that, best community I’ve been a part of for a long time.

Maybe a mode with no nodes, and control points that are resource generating, so that if you actually control side objectives you can win easier

Exactly I was trying to learn how to do artillery, and I just kept killing friendly and people get so angry at me. Tutorials would be so nice.

Domination with a bit more condensed maps would make buy this game for sure

if you are in a clan , split your experienced members up into squad leads, open your squad and play with public squads. If there were more of this i think the games will become alot more evened out. Ive noticed lately the games are steam rolls and when you try to switch and help the other team then you steamroll them 3PARA | Waggers

my issue with the game was just really crappy people berating me for being new rather than being the least bit helpful. It's a shame since when I was having fun it was a blast. Plus the amount of walking I'd do, I could load into a tarkov match faster than I could walk to the front line, as more experienced players just body my squad and kick over my spawn every time I nut up and play squad leader. I wanted to love the game, just had hours of rough experiences.

Doesn't the opening Window after launch literally says "Cheat Protected" ? Not sure if Cheaters have breached into this game yet.

Is it still alive on console?

I have been playing only 4 months, reaching level 79. Doing my best to play a team member, because I am a terrible shot especially in close combat to help with clearing out the enemy. What is boring, and that is not the word, is when one team totally dominates another team...and one reason is that the "lesser" team SL do not put enough garrisons/op, or they put way too far from the objective. As a spotter, being a loosing team, and they are yelling at you for not putting garrisons down as if that would help. On that point, when I play spotter, I have yet had enough supplies to put one down, so I try to keep my op safe and moving for my sniper. When situations get to a point, that the lesser team at least has a chance to equalize the match but suddenly have no Garis/op left to tip the game back in their favor. I am new to HLL, so I have accepted the downfalls of HLL, and fking love this game. I have been gaming since before Wolfenstein, and love! WWII first person shooter games now, and this is one of the best. Gamers who are a master gamer seem to love being able to dominate games/players why they also seem to hate team based games. That is not a dig, but why I thing games become boring, but how do you not get bored always being top dogs among lambs? So I still love team based games in spite of all the negatives, the positives for me always win the day for me.

Luckily, I read the in-game manual before playing and had a mic,so I had *A* clue of what I was doing, though the game should at least show the manual or have a tutorial in the menu screen. Other options would be making the description text for roles more obvious or making new players watch a short video outlining the gameplay of SLs and Commanders.

What I'd like to see, is a gamemode where every point you capture, you get a new objective to complete. Like maybe Omaha Beach, your first objective is to capture the Beach, then another objective would be to blow up artillery guns or flak guns. That would spice it up enough for me to enjoy it (I know, it's still a form of conquest, but that's enough to keep me enjoying the game) Also if they add like smaller modes like TDM or Domination, then make it to where in those modes, there are no squads or at least make it to where every role (besides like the tank roles) is available to everyone. Like if one person in your squad is the assault role, you can be assault too. Because in smaller maps, not everyone is gonna like to use a bolt action. Or maybe ditch the roles entirely and go for a loadout system like COD Also if they do make those modes, I hope they'd up the health a little bit because if they go for more arcade style modes, then they need to ditch some of the realism and focus more on gameplay.

I completely get where Terry is coming from, which is a shame because I enjoyed his HLL live streams. I've stopped playing as much as I did, I have been playing 2 days a month for the last 6 months and it's really noticeable the quality of game play has taken an absolute nose dive, I keep on being on poor teams who win because the opposition has even less of a clue, frustration keeps driving me to play commander or if that role is taken by a level 10, then I form a locked squad, grab a supply truck and build all the garrisons that haven't been built, its getting tedious but it stops teams losing. There is a juvenile attitude which seems to be more dominant on some servers, and it's tedious to witness so playing Commander or SL can become a complete chore. I, like Terry am very pessimistic about the future of HLL, I don't want different modes, but I'd really like dynamic interconnected maps that keep the fight rolling forward so for example a Normandy campaign mode that doesn't jump from SME to Stalingrad, but lands at Utah, pushes up through SMM to PHL to CAR and then new maps that push through the Bocage culminating a Falaise gap gorefest -But I don't see it happening.

You nail several deep rooted issues that the game has had for a long time. I only recently started playing it in 2022 after following it since 2019. While it has great aspects, It still has so many of the same old issues that I've seen from the beginning. Their dev path has been to layer new stuff on top of the old, just covering up the unfinished layers below. The match quality has gone down significantly even in just the 1 year I played, the motto of "1 godly match out of 100" has never rung so true. In those matches of private hosted servers, with squads of people who know each other, clan focused, etc. Those matches are the ones that shine. Knowledge is power in this game, and the game lacks proper tools to make players knowledgeable through gameplay. The tutorial issue seems an easy fix... Just make it an online tutorial then. Yes it will be a bit tedious that you have to connect to a server for a tutorial, but it's an entirely online based game to begin with so its par for the course. If that really was their primary limiting factor.

They need a side vs side mode where it’s justa fortified position you spawn from with a dead man’s zone in the middle to need. But you should be able to see the other side from your side

Hey bud! I enjoyed playing that Kharkov match with you. I can understand getting bored with the game, especially when you have as many hours in as you do. The same thing happened to me in Final Fantasy 14 this past year. Just like HLL, its basically the same game as it was when I started playing 10 years ago. The story changes and there are new dungeons, etc. but at the core it's still the same game it's always been. It's fun right after an expansion with all the new story and content, but after you go back to the same old routine. I'm sure I'll get bored with HLL at some point and need a break too. As always, thanks for all the content and taking time to make these videos for us.

I’ve joined a Division as playing in quite squads did me head in. While I want it to be fun. Respawning into energy fire where no team mate helps inform where energy is etc, changed the game from amazing to sadistic lol.

It's pretty much why I've stopped playing, most pubs matches are carried by one or two good squads doing what needs to be done and missing out on the rest of the game as it were. I've considered joining a clan to just get around people who want to be there and who use a mic but honestly there's not enough there to keep me going.

Roadmap just dropped today, and includes a new tutorial system later this year! Hopefully it helps newer players.

I will say quality of team mates and randoms in matches is the reason I have switched to only playing comp games, and only use pubs for practicing aiming. I would add, they should make the 18v18 game mode that is run by the 18v18 group because that feels a lot more fast paced and enjoyable to play.

valid points here. and the new devs seem to be on the same page with you. will be interesting to see where this game is going. imho i would be happy with just Warfare mode and a couple new maps. Because this experience of a huge battlefield with 100 players fighting each other by following squad leaders and commanders bigger strategic plans is just the best part of HLL. I hope they will keep this core HLL feeling in mind, when they add new stuff to the game.

I find my self playing it less I try get 1 or 2 games a week but I find it hard to get through a full game on Xbox like you said the communication has disappeared I think once they add server browsers that you can pick a server people want to play the game i will get back into it a style of hardPoint could be good 2 points always on defensive and offensive cap 2 points move to next 2

I like the idea of a "find and destroy" kind of gameplay mode. Each side has multiple easy to identify structures on their side of the map, but their location is not shown to the enemy team. So finding the objectives is part of the gameplay

I understand what you say, matches with two active garris, one in defense and other on attack, people that don't put marks on the map, squads full of riflemen because they're afraid of take any "more complex" role, people without mic, people that don't talk or that talk too much, after so long... dealing with all this can be annoying; there're plenty of games that one can play and they gonna release interesting ones this year, a game it's a game, not a marriage, don't worry about it man.

hey terry (yes I'm still alive), the reason that I stopped really playing HLL or even comig to your streams is the same reason that you have, its not that I hate you its just I'm bored in the game its always the same its more then ever a "WAW! that was amazing I can't wait to play again" moment and more "please get this game to stop". You helped me decide to buy the game I was there before the full release o the game and I playyed with you for that 9 HOUR stream on the day the Russians were added, and those where one of the funnest times in HLL, you helped me with your amazing guides and helpfull squadleading for me to be a top notch commander/SL, but having a good commander and half of the teamnot listing to you or asking for supps drops (forgetting there support) I just was "NO, THIS IS A SHIT SHOW". Then I moved back to PS where I found my place where new players need help (and a lot of it) and the placce that every match is different, you go to hunt showdown and I go to PS our own paths, but remember if you ever need an SL or a player in PS dont hesetate to DM me, I'm always open for a game of PS with anyone. And if I ever buy hunt I'll be there to ask you questions. HAVE A WONDERFULL NEWYEAR MATE!

I stopped basically stopped playing in 2021 coming back for a few games every now and then - the last time i launched the game was in june 22 to try the russians and after playing stutter-grad i stopped again. Saw the bridge map and didnt even bother coming back because the problems with that map are so obvious you dont even need to play it to know them. I joined a clan and had some fun but clan games with no rules is just turns the game into HQ/arty camping which is boring, pub stomping with friends was fun for a while until our whole squad got past the 100 kill mark as infantry, started to become much more RNG/cheese based after that which made it less fun, speedrunning was an interesting idea until we won 3 games in an hour dont think we ever tried winstreaking. Idk what else to say, you start to get good and see the self improvement and it feels great, but after a while you are good and you dont see that improvement anymore and it starts to feel a bit stale. The algorithm still pops HLL up for me every now and then and its always the SAME problems as we had in 2020/21 still plaguing the game to this day. No tutorial, bad players, artillery still sucks, garrison/outpost mechanics, maps/grid lines are still unbalanced, armour is still bugged and broken, loudouts are OP and too grindy... A personal one that made me start playing less around U8 i didnt like the shift away from asymetrical gameplay, i liked the germans with more bolt actions and stronger armour and then you can balance the maps around that better - but instead they accidentally made the US have better tanks for over a year and then threw in the towel and gave everyone a semi/auto loadout Oh and fuck me the audio changes were shit too, they like 3x foot steps you could hear people walking like 30m+ away like they were right next to you making stealth and "close flanks" impossible and made buildings a nightmare like you clear a building only to find out the footsteps are from the house across the street. So bad.

Every now and then you find a good squad who communicates but most of the time your squad won’t talk.

I am level 12 now. I really struggle to even get one or two kills per game. I die 10+ times. So i spend all my time waiting to deploy, and running to he fight 😂. I have given up.

is'nt no tutorial good for you? u can do tutorial videos

I agree with your statement in the video, I have been playing more Post Scriptum and Squad as a result.

They literally said in the briefing 3 days ago that they are going to end up implementing tutorial like systems
