[Open Beta] - State of the Faction War at the closing of the Beta | Forums

[NukeOfficial_]

Okay so, I didn't get my reward for being on the winning faction, and I have to start my orochi over (no biggie I was in blues) but still, disappointing

Everyone already knew that Beta Progress wont carry over. I restarted my progress 3 times in the tests^^

No one cares if you won, this beta was literally just a test lol.

There are Rewards for the actual Game though.

I don't think there will ever be a total victory in faction war, it's always who had the least territories before the last round, because then they will take the most territories the next round. All anyone is arguing so far is which round was last. Not the fact the war is really about who gets the low territory boost last.

Yeah exactly, and if you look at it the time zones favor the other factions over the Samurai.
As the end of a round seems to be during the US up time this hugely favors those factions as their players are active for that final push.
If something isn't done to balance or rotate this then everyone will eventually switch away from Samurai.

I mean just look at this...

Hey could you re-do that and add some sort of time indication. I.E. CET EST PST
I bet you there is a correlation there...

A) They should be consistent between betas if they aren't going to inform the players that it changed.

B) the tweet about playing the last hour suggests that the last hour should have counted

C) The way the faction war is counted should be switched to either an average over the turns, or a points system where you get points at the end of each turn for however many territories are held, and whoever has the most points wins. This way it counts equally for the first and last turn.

D) Ubi needs to address this and give the Vikings something. Either both Knights and Vikings get the gold outline, Vikings are the only ones to get the closed beta rewards, or give all rewards to everyone for the beta(s) they participated in. I think giving the rewards to everyone is the most fair Since Vikings were in the lead at the end, samurai were in the lead with a large majority the most, and Knights won the last turn.

I agree completely.

Every turn is 6 Hours. Beta started 3pm CET, so
Samurai are at a height at 9pm CET/9am CET/9pm CET/3am CET/9am CET/3am CET/9am CET [all time high]/3pm CET
Vikings are at a height at: 3pm CET/ 3pm CET/ 3am CET
Knights are at a height at: 9pm CET

Samurai had an average Territory count of 22.9333
Vikings had an average Territory count of 19.6
Knights had an average Territory count of 16.5333

I just want to say take a look at this graph, if you got the average of territories held during the entire open beta, Samurai should be the obvious winner, Vikings in second and Knights in third. The fact that they make it the faction that has the most at this certain cut off time is the winner should not be how the winner is chosen. Whichever factions peak time is at the cut off line will win regardless of how bad they did overall. Just my opinion...

What annoys me is that if you choose to play a hero such a sa knight, Orochi or dunno warlord...the faction points should go to the specific faction the hero is from. Even the single player you play the factions...if you play knights you only play heros from that faction. It make no sense at all really since why have factions at all if 90% of player base play as mercenaries???? Also Samurai should always win faction wars since half of the world population is Asian....
