    I think, not that I care or am really bothered, but because some people seem to be, that a nice touch might have been to give everyone the Ornaments, but ... and this would be quite a clever way to keep everyone happy ... make them golden for the Vikings, Silver for the Samurai and Bronze for the Knights (we have these material colours in the game already).

    Problem solved. You can still clearly see who won, who came second, by the colour of their Ornament, so they keep their prestige and bragging rights, but everyone has something to show for the millions of Assets they deployed.

    But hey, not gonna happen. Could have. This will probably just make you feel worse

    Why don't I get you a straw so that you can suck it up, precious.

    I'm samurai btw. We lost. boo hoo. better luck next time. Be a gracious loser and let the vikings enjoy the unique ornaments. It's something that they have that nobody else can acquire regardless of time or money spent on the game. And that's pretty cool in my opinion.

    OK, honor brigade. I'm already a viking. I just picked a wrong faction to be rep 42 and 21 days of playing time.

    You do you, I'm just letting you know that "you" is coming off as a crybaby.

    Wow

    Love the new ornaments. I was a viking at the beginning but jumped ship when I realized I pretty much mained a Lawbringer and it just made sense to be a Knight then. Oh well....just gives the faction war a bit more purpose now that there is some awesome ornaments as a reward that not everyone can get. This was a nice touch Ubisoft.

    Ubi just can't get a break when it comes to rewards. Serves them right for not having a fair system to begin with though to be honest.

    I still believe rewards should be based on personal contribution, not because you have to pick with a 1 in 3 chance of getting lucky.

    Thank you. Exclusive content to a faction is a no no for all the problems that this game has. Vikings won yes congrats but I want some of those ornaments or let me pay steel to get it for being a second place weeb.

    FW and rewards

    Very disappointed by the reward design overall.

    I understand the idea of the ’winner gets all, second/third place gets nothing’ concept and the reasoning behind it. The problem is that it’s completely incompatible with the Faction War system design.

    Rewards in this particular case, should only be measured by individual performance, nothing else. Problems with the current design:

    • < REP3 casuals getting ALL rewards by choosing the “right” faction
    • > REP20 meticulous (asset deployment wise) hardcore players gets nothing because they choose the “wrong” faction
    • first place Faction will naturally get stronger (new joiners) prior to the start of the next season (poor design)
    • third place Faction will naturally get weaker (leavers) prior to the start of the next season (poor design)
    • PK mains earning assets for Vikings / Samurai (no Faction hero attachment/benefit)
    • WL mains earning assets for Knights / Samurai (no Faction hero attachment/benefit)

    I’m all inclined to reward people that really put the effort, but the current system simply works against itself.

    A much better reward to the current (flawed) FW system would be: Top 1K (or 500 or 50) players – no matter what Faction chosen – that deployed the most assets: wins all. The rest: nothing.

    The whole system is poor designed and executed tbh. I have posted some ideas to help improve the FW system for future seasons:

    War of the Factions Now and Then

    All things considered, I firmly don’t think the Samurai or the Knights should get the S1 exclusive rewards in anyway, never. What is done is done. One can only hope for a better FW/reward system in the future, thou.
