All opinions of the beta vs the release aside (I'll put my opinions in other threads!), I'm eager to know what people expect from new potential game modes being released. I for one LOVE the fact that you can play any class regardless of the faction you chose, but would be entirely in support of a specific dedicated game mode whereby you are tied to play the characters from the specific faction that you pledged allegiance to. Better yet, would be a version of this where there is a battlefield with all three factions fighting at once, but if you chose Viking, you are FORCED to play Viking. And if you chose Knight you were FORCED to play... Blah blah blah FORCED to play cabbage etc.
I say this as someone who holds zero objection to the decision to open the availability of all characters up to all factions (I strongly appreciate that decision by the developers to allow us to explore like that), but I would also appreciate it if we could double down on the faction war element (in a singular game mode) and have the option to contribute in a capacity that felt more focused around the faction war meta game.
Also, for those people who get frustrated by the dominion game mode when 1v1 honor is dispatched in favour of the opposition taking advantage by way of 4v1 ganking... wouldn't those scenarios be way more variable and interesting with a third faction on the field?! Do you leave the gank against the opposition? Do you help the opposition gank? Do you wait to take the gank at the most opportune moment, flushing people over the edge of a bridge and taunting the faction that was previously in your alliance?!
I'm probably (read: definitely) wrong, but in my heart of hearts can't help but feel like a faction based three way mess of a game mode between factions would mix up the current gameplay in a way that could only be fascinating!
I will meet anyone who says I'm wrong on the battlefield and (probably not) defeat you in honest glory!

I have suggested the same thing. Would be a nice change of pace from Dominion. 4v4v4. Or they could even add a 1v1v1 mode, where one character from all 3 factions duel to the death. That could be interesting. Do 2 of them gang up on 1 guy, do they all go after each other. Does one of them avoid the fight, and let the other two besat eachother up, nd then clean up whoever wins?
There are a lot of game modes they could add.

I didn't event think of what that would do for the 1v1 if added an extra 1! Awesome point! Would love to see that happenOriginally Posted by forrest0755 Go to original post

You're so right, the potential is endless. Also can't help but feel though that the chances of Ubi making an actual move on that is sadly slim. I LOVE the current gameplay (beta response different in an alternatively positive light... again, discussion for an alternative thread), but would love even more of an element that brought me tighter to the overall meta faction based game. Plus, from a purely selfish "this would mix up the manner in which I can play" point of view; I thought I had a good idea, but the last couple of responses better demonstrated how that could be a workable and fascinating game mode to implementOriginally Posted by RatedChaotic Go to original post
