THIS is why we need to be able to buy the Tounament Ornaments | Forums

[HazelrahFirefly]

I had a little free time this morning and so I decided to take advantage and aee how I could do against morning duelers.

Guess what happened? Guess?!

NOTHING. I spent an hout and a half unable to get into a tournament, because no one else is doing it. How am I ever supposed to win my ornaments when there is no one to duel?

Just let us buy them for high steel prices already! Its a ****ing game. The e-peen of having an ornament others don't is ridiculous.

When you put it that way it seems that it is in Ubisoft's best interests to keep Ranked mode in a piss poor sorry state so that people will beg to buy the ornaments for cash and then actually thank Ubi for selling it to them.

Shouldn't instead the answer be to do all they humanly can to populate the ranked modes?
- More XP, more steel, more loot,
- all previous tiers of cosmetic rewards for finishing 2nd and winning a tourney,
- limited time events that further boost all XP, steel and loot rewards in ranked, etc, etc.

That way everybody benefits more from this by getting decent ranked modes worthy of the name. After all that's done by all means allow people to open up their wallets and buy anything they want if they feel like it. But not before actually making a decent ranked mode, otherwise you're just rewarding Ubi for keeping it in a sh/tty state.

I morally agree with you, but have a pessemestic view on this game. I don't think it will ever be fixed or more densely populated. Ever.

What they really need to do is get rid of duel tournament altogether. Just match us up against people of similar skill levels in 1v1 matches. That's it. Period.

Idk why it's a tournament in the first place. We don't want a tournament. We want to be matched up against players in our ranked level. What other fighting game makes it mandatory to get people for a tournament? It's a poor system.

Make all ranked rewards random drops. You should want people to WANT to play ranked. Not just to try and win a tournament for a chance at a reward. You want people to play ranked because they enjoy it and want to show off their skills. I can get into an unrankrd 1v1 in seconds. Tournament takes forever to get into. And sometimes it throws me into a Dominion ranked instead because it times out.

I'm a diamond ranked player and I enjoy playing against skilled players. But half the time I get disconnected from a tournament, I get a time penalty, and I go down by like 3 ranks. It's garbage.

Lastly, ranks should be attached to the character you use. Im definitely diamond level with my berserker. But I'm probably only platinum level with my warlord. I know this may be a contraversial idea, but it would be nice. Could also help guage opponents when you match up. Let's say I go into a lobby with someone who is diamond as well. But it turns out that he's using his worst character. I think it would be exciting to match up with someone and know how good they are with that character

Could be so but then it's just as important to not allow a failing game to lower your standards or lower the standards for the industry so that future gamers end up getting screwed even worse. If their ranked mode fails then let them understand it failed because they didn't lift a finger to improve the quality and make it worth while, not because they didn't sell the cosmetic ornaments.

But then I'll never get my ornaments, and some of them are the best in the game lol

On ps4 i dont really have much issues getting into a duel tournament, and im really enjoying them at the moment, and the ornaments are great (mostly) and thats why i feel they should be earnt like how they are now, so when people see you wearing them they know you have earnt it, just my views...

As a person who casually duels, I have to agree, the tournament idea is a poor concept and only works in games that have high populations from the start, like start craft and other such competitive games have the population to support this, but for honor doesn't.

You must always play at peak times or have the liberty to play when you want. Its 5:40 am my time right now, when i often get to play, and its a ghost town on PS4 for ranked duels.

Or they could just make ranked actually decent. 1 match games or Bo3 and have a normal ladder LIKE EVERY OTHER ONLINE MULTIPLAYER GAME instead of this tournament ********.

Tournament modes are designed to provide chill experiences where u watch others and chat. Its like that IN EVERY OTHER GAME EXCEPT THIS ONE.

and it makes no bloody sense from a design perspective.

Then just hand out rewards based on end of season ladder position, Ladder soft resets every season. You need a minimum number of games played to be eligible for rewards.

SO DAMN SIMPLE...
