E3 ... maybe a new Game Mode | Forums

[Illyrian_King]

I am really hyped for that E3 presentation and just wanted to share my thoughts and speculations.

E3 is like the pinacle of the year, when it comes to video games ... so Ubi won't go there just to announce like 1-2 new Heroes.

It must be something bigger and then that, to dare presenting it while having the whole gaming world's eyes on them, because the reason is still to attract new players.


So what can be big enough to accomplish that? Only 2 things came to my mind:

1) They announce a new roadmap for like the next 4 Seasons

AND/OR (because the first doesn't kick out the second and vice versa)

2) They announce a new big Game Mode


If it's a new Game Mode (what would make a lot of sense regarding all the requests from the Community and the lack of bigger battle stuff) Ubi most likely wouldn't go there to anounce something like Tribute ... it has to be bigger and HOPEFULLY FINALLY A TASTY SIEGE MODE

Even the Dominion Maps would offer so much possibities to continue the fight after cracking that sweet gate. One can easily say they are made for it

A Siege experience or bigger battles in general with the For Honor combat system would be really something impressive to show at the E3!

If it isn't siege mode, they're fools.

A big "secret" release. They're trying to attract new players to the game, made evident by the buddying system, arena training etc. They have dedicated servers with data showing the drastic improvements in connectivity. There's a new citadel map. Everyone has been screaming for siege mode since day dot.

What better way to showcase and satisfy all of the above by revealing there will soon be an 8v8, mass battle where players and minions will lay siege to or defend a dirty great big castle?

Would be the perfect occassion to attract new players and veterans as well!

This game has a great fundament now, but should not stop now.

But mate please tell me about that new Citadell Map ... i must have overheard something.

"New map

Beachhead

Samurai map

Playable on dominion, skirmish, elimination, brawl and duel.

Looks like a japanese fortress, there is a desert courtyard.

This is very similar to the Viking raid in the campaign reveal at E3, it is not the exact map but it was the basis for it.

It is a very symmetrical map, something akin to citadel gate. It is however a smaller sized map. Not certain how this will play in dominion, it isn't linear with areas you have to pass through but I think they really do need to up the size of the maps.

Apparently in the myre it will look a lot like the campaign level."

Pulled from Candles Warrior den thread.

Ah lol I know about this one ... I thought you were talking about a new area in the Citadell Gate Mape we have since release ^^

But for not going further, just look at the new Beachhead Map. Again we fight at the beach before the gate at the very beginning of the whole action inside the fortress.

And if we actually go further, I don't know a single Dominion map that takes us actually INSIDE a Fortress.

Come on that must be intended to release it later when the fundament is fine like it is now !!

[PDXGorechild]

Yeah seems a bit pointless that you can see the entrance to all the castles but can't actually play in them..

I might be done with this game if they don't bring siege or an equally entertaining mode to the game soon.

New classes, gear or reworks won't keep me here. I'm bored and I want a new game mode. This game NEEDS it.

Big E3 anouncemement:

"We're finally banning that Flora dude's account. Thank you, thank you. We'll see you next year!"

[Illyrian_King]

Honestly the hope for that sweet Announcment is 99% of what kept me here ;b

The game can offer me 50 new Heroes ... all fine but doesn't enrich the core in terms of what you can do in this game.

Well this is better *clapping audience

this game has been the longest beta test ever it seems, now the game feels like its actually ready for launch and in a much better state, encouraging new played to join as if its a new game, hopefully the player count does rise based of this weekend.

[Illyrian_King]

If the devs released the game in this state without the 6 DLC Heroes and maybe 2-3 Maps less it would have been all fine

But it's important now NOT TO STOP and really build on this solid fundament they have now.
