Oh wow the first response is from a Viking, who doesn't agree, that's not surprising. Just because you don't like the post doesn't make me wrong, although I do hope I am. Give me facts that show the Faction War not being manipulated and you Vikings actually 'earning' a victory. Then I will gladly stop feeling 'cheated' and give some praise to Odin (Mythical Figure that has no effect on a game)
Man zcubed...way to fall for the bait dangled on the hook there...and actually he was more joking than anything by the looks of it. Chill man faction war has no meaning on this game other than saving players 500 steel on boxes and really crappy ornaments. As a knight since closed beta yes it sucks that lower population vikings are getting super boasted troops while knights get **** on as neutral being 2nd most populated and samurai...well...rip them.
Cyriccube baiting or not, joking or serious, ChampionRuby50g's response came off as arrogant and rude. And the attitude that Faction War is pointless just reinforces the notion that Ubisoft can continue to manipulate **** without reprisal. Ornaments, however "crappy" they are, are content that players are being cheated out of getting, in a mode that is not optional. Ranked content I'm not getting because the mode is optional and I choose not to play it. So not being cheated there, but Faction War is not a chosen mode it's the overall battle. You play and have no chance of getting the content (unless you pick the favored faction) because of the manipulation, this is were the cheating is happening.
Kelson27 I'm not wearing a tinfoil hat and I know it's a game. This is me taking things lightly. (scary huh?)

I've kinda just been moving into do orders and get out but I still jump on for matches with friends, but we eventually go to customs because the 4v4 modes just aren't enjoyable when the enemy team goes skirmish mode in tribute and dominion.
I still slap my banner on the Volcano though. It is perhaps a throw but it doesn't fell like there's a reason to win. We still get crates and an emblem outline, the other factions just get an ornament and a symbol that will probably sit about unused. (I know I've never put on the S3 Ornaments or Symbols, they don't look that good on most characters)
If we had a reason to really want to win we could probably pull it off but personally I don't feel to strongly about it. Maybe if they gave first 5k steel, and second 3k, third nothing I'd be going full tryhard tactician because the steel grind is a bit ridiculous.
Just my take on things, probably shared by some other knights, but several probably have an opposite thought.
To each their own. See you on the battlefield!
Faction War, haha. By far the most inconsequential feature in For Honor. Predetermined result, no actual impact on gameplay, horrible rewards. Wish the devs didn't take literally half an hour each Den to talk about that snoozefest hardly anyone cares about, but they do.
And we all should already know by now that the only reason Vikings win is because of the broken assets system, so take comfort in knowing that they'd never win without basically cheating.
