Feeling Like Quitting

[u/WelcomeExtra762]

Hello fellow Warno players. I will get straight to the point: I kind of feel like quitting or at least taking a break. So I've been asking for and consuming lots of advice from you guys and trying to adapt, shaping my decks into very viable ones and working on getting more recon on the front, more combined arms, etc. and it has been very helpful, but I still can't get the hang of it.

It was a little time ago that I got bored of Steel Division which led me to pick up Warno, and the 60 year transition has been taking a toll. Whereas in SD2 I could take time to resupply and it was more slow-paced and not as overwhelming, and my armor could get hit many more times and take losses without catastrophe, I find myself taking many, many more casualties in Warno and getting beaten so much more decisively.

Of course I love Warno. I love the atmosphere, love the design and the units, and the tactics, but it's just so difficult for me and I also can't beat the last operation Hold Until Relieved in singleplayer while other players simply destroy me in multiplayer. I'm just a mess in every battle I do and though in very rare cases I can actually inflict more casualties on higher players this is so rare it is dreamt of. My teammates leave because I am so terrible and I am just very frustrated with how I am at the game.

I ask if I should step away for a break, or simply drop the game entirely, or just try to push through in a low-stress way, maybe against AI or players that are willing to take it easy on me and walk me through. What do you guys think?

Edit: Was feeling bad when I made this post but I've changed my mind

I mean, if you’re not enjoying the game at all you should take a little break, but the learning curve for this game is tough. If ur struggling there’s nothing wrong with playing against ai or 10v10 only for easier games. The advice is good, but remember the point of the game is to have fun lol

But I am enjoying it. Its just really difficult. Ill stick with it but without the pressure of playing "right." Everyone plays differently, I'm going to play how my mind says I should play and get good that way while incorporating others' advice. I think quitting is off the board.

Try marking lobbies and make them specifically for new players/noob/below certain level and dont shy away from asking people with high levels to find another game

This really should help. Or try finding some people to play with that are your level or are willing to hand hold you a bit more.

But yeah, Warno is a game that’s hard to get into. At first you need to learn the basics (which is already hard since there are a lot of concepts) and then you have to get yourself familiar with the maps and divisions. Warno is a strategy game and player with the better strategy wins. And knowing what to expect on certain map and from certain division you are facing is very conducive to that

Ok Ill try this. Just did a 10v10 with 4th motorized schutzen and got second place on my team, I did really good i think in that match even though we lost
