Idea for Matchmaking | Forums

[k1DBLITZ]

The first time I played ForHonor, I was a bit disappointed to see that the teams were mixed... meaning, a match could have viking, samurai, and knight all on the same team.

I wanted to experience a matchup between factions... all knights vs all vikings, etc. Sadly, the matchmaking doesn't occur for this. I mean, I get it... Most people don't want to be locked into a faction the entire campaign.

BUT....

What if you allow us to select our character, THEN start matchmaking so that team can be made up entirely of knights, vikings, or samurai?

This matchmaking method could be optional for those of us that want to fight these types of battles.

Yes, I would play this. Maybe a new game mode? Faction Battle...

An actual fight between factions is something that has been brought up on our weekly Warrior's Den stream before. Our game director, Damien, has commented that it is something that would be certainly interesting to incorporate and see in-game, but at that there currently is no work on such a mode at this time. So it's definitely something we are willing to look into and I'll be sure to forward your suggestion over to the team, k1DBLITZ.
