Orders should reward us for playing the game, not force us to pay heroes or game modes we don't want to play. Also, orders such as "Kill 300 soldiers in PvP Dominion" create a string of games where no one plays the game, but just slaughters soldiers.
Orders should not be class or game mode specific. Instead of "Play 5 matches of PvP Elim as a Hybrid" it should just be "Play 5 matches". Making people play classes and game modes that we don't want to play just makes us mad that we have to grind that stuff for steel. Instead of "Get 3 executions as an Assassin in PvAI Skirmish" it should just be "get 3 executions".
I can't stress how unhealthy the specific hero and game mode Orders are. All of this, and I still haven't mentioned how Skirmish and Elim are the same playlist. People don't suddenly play Skirmish when they have orders for Elim. They quit, queue up again until they get Elim, and play Elim.
Go ahead and keep it this way. I don't care. I'm going to continue to grind those orders, but over time you're going to get more and more complaints about people like me just farming soldiers in Dominion. And I only play Orochi, so I just don't do orders that require a specific class (unless it's assassin).
Just sayin'
I agree I myself don't try to win the game when I get orders like "kill 300 soldiers" either.
I simply go to the spawn and bash as long as I can, sure it's **** for the team, but I don't wanna play dominion and I don't wanna play nobushi and I don't wanna .... etc etc etc :P
Completely agreed, especially how long queue times can become for specific unpopular game modes when you also have no desire to do it, but have order quest for it.
It is a perfect recipe for after a while making people say 'You know what? Screw this, my time isnt that worthless. I will go play something else" and quits For Honor.
I agree completely. "Get 8 kill streak in skirmish", well that's never gonna happen, skirmish sucks. Play 5 as hybrid? Well, no. How's that gonna help me level up my PK, or help my team win when I'm playing an unfamiliar class against the rep 9 no-lifers? Oh, look. There are 2 people standing where the enemy soldiers spawn instead of helping us win. This is so fun...
Come on Ubisoft, I appreciate that the contracts are supposed to add a bit of encouragement to diversify a bit, but as it stands right now it just makes the game worse to play.
I agree with you guys it sucks. They only do it to try and get people to play different modes and classes. with that being said if they want people to try different modes they should make it to where you deploy more forces on the areas of the map in which you faction in fighting for. It would work better just because the modes switch spots all time and it gives you a slight edge to the tournament. As for the classes they just need to let people play with what they want.
