Faction War: Spotting a Pattern | Forums

[Lord-Arion]

Looking at the faction war history it looks like the same picture after every war (minus open beta).

1st: Vikings
2nd: Knights
3rd: Samurai

3/4 of the faction war rounds have looked like this. Is this what can be expected long term? Should samurai even try to compete? Knights came close but they've required a hand from the samurai both times to drop. vikings low enough for them to slip into first. Knights got in open beta but not so much this time.

Are the vikings too dominant? If so how do we change this without punishing vikings for being successful?

Not very helpful, but nothing wrong with more cowbell.

Im a knight so thats not my department. Looks like the lack of discussion would indicate that people have already given up because of the viking 75% winrate.

After seeing how little every round beside the last round matters, and what the rewards are (winning a round is the same as 1500 steel), I lost interest in the faction war, I hardly ever distribute my assets anymore. I had 600k worth of assets donated last round, I got two premium scavenger packs...

I'm just going to play the modes I want, when I want from now on, couldn't care less about the faction war.

I hear you there. I had hoped faction war would mean something, but its nothing but a viking dominated affair with rewards the majority seem rather displeased with.

Id hoped faction war would amount to more than MKX did but I guess I was wrong. Faction war is doomed to be a rigged affair becaus the only people that will remain that care about the war are the vikings, because they will win them all.

With a 75% winrate they will have 3/5 rounds won and thus the season won pretty easily. Odds are in their favor, and it looks like nobody cares enough to want to see that changed.

So congrats vikings for choosing right, hope you enjoy all the rewards you get for season wins whatever they might be.

Then I hope vikings enjoy them. Given the last turn vikings probably would have won open beta and had a 100% win rate. That nothing has been done is a diservice to the game. This game isnt called For Valhalla, and yet it seems like the devs have no interest in having the war actually be a war and not just a vikings waiting two weeks to see their next win rewards. I tried to fight for balance but at this point it isnt worth even trying.

I hope all you vikings that cried foul over opeb beta and arent satisified with anything other than total viking domination are happy. The faction war is yours and likely shall always be yours.

Its 4 points with darn near identical results. Its a trend which begets a pattern. Vikings win it, knights take second, and samurai sit in lowly 3rd. Its been that way since alpha with open beta only being different due to convienence of open betas end time.
