Faction War: Why is Nobody using War Assets? | Forums

[Xakonero]

I agree with all of you, the faction wars need to be really improved. Now, it isnt interesting, and we the players can sense that we are helping.

I think that improved this point of the game could make the game ven more attractive, like someone said before, putting key objetives in the map, events that were big fights between the factions, and give us the players the sense of be able to help in anyform, because now the things happen and thats it. I would like to have this incentive to play, because if not, at some point I could just get bored, for what I´m fighting one time after other? There is no point, if the faction war is just a map that move, and usually in the same directions.

Actually is almost a fogerttable feature, but working in it, could be the best of the game along with the battle system.

Really, ubisoft, dont forget this aspect of the game, or this game could be a failure, and we really dont want this because its awesome and innovative.


In other hand, i disagree with the thing someone said about just earn assets for playing with the characters of the faction, because pay what the game cost to be force to play with 1/3 of the characters is a bad idea. Thats all, sorry for my bad english!

Your English is good enough for your to explain your opinion quite well and I appreciate your input.

I agree that it needs more attention and and more visual aids need to be added in order to develop strategy.
I do consider this to be the backbone of the game and if not given due attention, it will be a lost golden opportunity. I agree that limiting your characters is not needed, because your loyalty to your faction should not hinder your development.

Yes true, 50% better than 100%. But nothing 1 season and 100% from there on out is better than always just 50%....

But what i am saying is, the system is flawed. I wish they could be more open on how the system works, there needs to be ways for unpopular and weaker factions to make a comeback, otherwise all will soon be Vikings. You shouldn't be punished for picking a Faction early on, only to get stomped mercilessly, and be placed into a position where your own efforts have little to no effect on the outcome of the war.

Very True.
I think one reason the Vikings are winning this time was that they were consistently winning territories from the beginning. I think the other Factions did not realize how the mechanics worked very well till halfway through. At one point the Samurai suddenly took the lead in a massive take down but then the Vikings came back hard and regained the lead til the end. The knights did a good push in the end but it remains to be see if it was enough.
That's is the issue with "even distribution of War Assets." You do not reinforce where it's needed the most
Perhaps by making the community more aware of how it works and making it more visible and interactive, the participation will improve. in the first season after launch.
Ubisoft: Please look into this

I think its a cool concept but when I started trying to deploy assets after every round it became a chore with no reward. Heres what I would like to see


1. Performance of each map being crucial to how many assets/help you can deploy and it giving you a number stat. example would be: You recieved 50 knights to fight or defend if you do well, or "you recieved 5 knights to attack to defend if you do badly" This would not only give you a reason to do well in a match it would make you want to not waste your rewards and participate
(i know the video said it mattered but I didnt see that in the beta unless I missed something it was just a sword that came down and that was it)

2. Instant feedback on how you helped. I noticed that once I would deploy assets it would no longer show a percentage, it would be nice to see if i made a difference

3. Short term rewards for participation. Example would be you deployed X amount of assets so you get a xp reward or steel reward or something

4. A voting system for recomendations to where people should deploy assets and to attack defend. lets say the vikings are really close to taking a territory not only can you deploy your assets there, you can also vote to have that area highlighted for people to deploy assets there also, so if feels like the community using some sort of plan

and lastly (which might be in the full game hopefully it is)

5. Faction specific rewards, so if your faction wins you get rewards but its only for the vikings class, or knights class, so if you chose vikings but play as a knight you wont recieve any type of gear for the knights only the vikings. the would help tremendously with the balancing.

Very Good Points!!!!!!

I appreciate you taking the time to post your observations.

You must have missed something. When I was deploying my war assets it told me how many points I will give to specific region and it was in hundreds when I won match and in tens when I lost. I think it was even coresponded to what renown I was able to get during match.

2. Instant feedback on how you helped. I noticed that once I would deploy assets it would no longer show a percentage, it would be nice to see if i made a difference

I agree but I would put there exact number of war assets in that region so you know how much more you need to work on that one.


I have no comments on other points of GIjoeyjojoes post :-)
