Welp, I called it. LITERALLY... this war is exceedingly one sided | Forums

So about a month ago I responded to a post with a couple moderators and one fanboy who were going off on someone's post where he had made a comment about the war being onesided and possibly rigged.
In the post, a few of us other responders noted how very impossible it is to get the numbers that were being thrown out there for the win every time in certain time frames.... especially when the Vikings had been very much ahead at the end in a couple of rounds....

As we have played through this season though, one things is painfully obvious. You developers have highly underestimated the effects your development of broken classes within knights has influenced players to switch sides, and for new players to pick the knight faction over the others.

During this season it was my priveledge to bring on board seven new players. All of whom picked knights, with the reason that they read on the forums how broken the heros were, or that they thought the knights looked better than the other factions.

You know damn well you did a trash job of releasing this game in the beginning. I don't think there is any way to fight that. As a tester since your firsts beta tests, I know what was tested, what was posted on your forums for changes and questions, and suggestions... and we testers know you didn't listen to almost anything we said..

In multiple videos your development leads have stated that balancing is done too slow, and that heroes like the centurion should have been nerfed much sooner and much more....

And as I called out in the posts I made on the very serious population issue of one sided population base... knights swept the entire season, and you guys threw a bone out to another faction for just ONE week, very very very obviously, just so you can claim that it wasn't a clean sweep.

I don't actually have any idea any longer how you can save this game. Because as a team of developers you have constantly disregarded the details of your game at the expense of you player support. Everything from stubbourness regarding servers, to releasing too early, to lack of balance, to clear favoritism of one faction over the others....

This was one of the most anticipated games I had ever tested. I loved this idea, and I loved this game... but I am tired of watching you guys play your entire player base for fools while you orchestrate who wins and loses, and play loose with balancing and proper player feedback and support of your players.

Go ahead love all over your precious knight faction... watch the knights sweep another season and another season I am sure... Knights needed a win this season, but the way you have handled the game now demonstrates a much more severe problem... your players can no longer believe in the Viking faction at all, and as players we cannot trust that you support your game in an even and fair way. It is painfully apparent.
If you cant find a way to even out your gaming population so that all the factions actually have an even chance in the war... and properly balance your heroes quickly after they are released; using the PLAYER FEEDBACK! what the hell is the point of even playing for you any longer?
Take care.

not rigged this war banner stuff made this war asset deployment easier, they should've made the faction war war assets only work if you used your factions characters.

You have to use your faction's heroes to get war assets, this would make people actually be competitive for the faction wars

you're not being forced to use a specific set of heroes you only have to use your faction's heroes to get war assets, it makes the most sense and you would see most of the rounds be won by different factions

This is funny. Knights have been nerfed to death except the conqueror and maybe LB, and they haven't won a season yet. I'm surprised that we won 3 rounds this time.

and they haven't won a season yet. I'm surprised that we won 3 rounds this time.

So, you have won a season, yet.

Fight for the knights as exclusively samurai heroes. Nobushi main, Orochi secondary. I occasionally poke at the PK and throw around the idea of playing Ledgebringer but I haven't yet. >:3

I did play conq for a tiny bit of time. Maybe six matches.
