Overall this faction war is pretty ****. And yes I am a knight and I acknowledge that at the time of this post we're hard behind and this isn't a rant about the skill base of the players.
But instead I think its just this game has no way to adjust to the actual size of the player base in each faction. I've played since day after release and nearly all of what I see is square and round shields for the majority and rarely any knight shields in the matchmaking. This shows that the knight playerbase size is substantially lower than it, much lower than it was in beta thats for sure, than the other factions, yet the yield amount of war assets is the same globally. Overall I don't think an entire faction of players should be punished because we have less people? I know Ubi ****ed up a ton of **** with this game but damn guys...common, have some forethought. In addition in the beta there was a system that slightly increased the amount of assets you earned if your faction was pushed back and substantially lower in territories than the other factions. I am not seeing this in the live version and that is making the faction war very unfun and its just encouraging more players to switch to a winning faction so that when the season ends they have a better shot at rewards. I've been very tempted myself to switch factions but metagaming just for good rewards and no real effort is unfair. At the time of this post heres the standings
Last Turn:
Knights Gained: -7 territories Now at 12
Samurai gained +7 Territories now at 29
Vikings Gained +2 territories now at 19.
Currently:
knights are already at -0 territories
Samurai are at +7
and Vikings are at -7
I'm sorry but it seems theres a major imbalance going on here and nothing is being raised awareness wise and its not being questioned. Likely because so many players are switching teams just to get better rewards with less effort.
Overall a very unfair and punishing system especially when your grouped with members of other factions. Like seriously? I get it if your grouping with your friends thats fine and dandy I understand. But Why should I have to help 3 samurai or 3 vikings better war asset gain potentially against members of my own faction. That just screams: I should throw the game so that our faction gets more war assets. Again, is that really fair?
The faction war overall needs major tweaks and Ubisoft is being surprising slow for a fresh Triple A game and letting what is a great game design wise, be ruined by the technical aspects of the game (*Cough P2P Connections/Beats the dead horse more cough*). Nearly any other major game company has set of dedicated teams ready to push hotfixes and quickly work out balances or horrible bugs *Cough Sugoki's many bugs Cough* and tweak the game so its a fair playing field for everyone. Right now I just feel like I'm the spartans from 300 desperately trying to fend of the Persian legions.
Please do something about this Ubisoft. And other players *All factions alike* should help raise awareness in a proper way *Don't go shouting rage comments or telling Ubi to kiss...you get where I'm going...* I'd rather not see another Binding of Issac:Rebirth where the developers give a giant middle finger to the players and refuse to fix anything or respond. I ****ing love this game and I want to see it thrive but steps need to be taken.
*Thank you for reading my post, please keep the chat clean and make intelligent and calm collected arguments/disagreements about this subject. I know this is the internet and you can give me a big middle finger but at least I asked nicely before hand.*
