In the last week, there were less than 300 clans that obtained points (10 or more). Although this decrease is likely due to the “Battle for Uranium” mode, there are still too few clans to be the “competitive” mode of the game. This game mode needs to be rethought (and that means, obviously, reviewing your rewards system).
Hmmmm…only maybe 1 or 2 people in my clan have the equipment to play clan wars. That’s probably 90% of the problem right there.
Reward uranium for completing battles, like the Get the [insert material here] missions.
I don’t care for either one .
Clan Wars suffers from a few problems.
- Exorbitant cost
2.Lack of Players
3.Lack of sessions
Problems 1 and 2 feed into each other. The game mode is very expensive so people won’t play. Because people don’t play this mode, the game mode gets more expensive. There needs to be incentive for people to play.
Unpopular opinion: Wish they had chopper wars!
Just as I saw the title, I wanted to mention that helicopters are certain to come to WC. I don’t think the developers have stated anything to that effect, but once they revealed the chcobo legs would only be usable in the helicopter mode, I knew to expect WC to follow that trend. I don’t play WC because I don’t like the mode being limited to 4v4 or my loadout being shown to the enemies before the battle. But, being used to 3v3 in the helicopter mode, I could as well start playing WC when that unavoidably happens.
One solution to save WC would be making it more like the Battle for Uranium brawl. Smaller, but more accessible. Or just implementing that brawl as a permanent feature. To salvage what’s left of the WC scene. I don’t know if this makes sense because I don’t play WC. But the brawl was definitely a test in a way, and the developers will draw conclusions from it.
BTW, helicopter WC could mostly be groups of helicopters with upgraded Arbiters vs. ones with upgraded Sparks/Flashes, and that’s already a problem.
8v8 is more fun because it leaves more room to use non-META setups and finesse, not focused on hardcore DPS. Or maybe some weapons are just OP, even by design. I could afford a set of upgraded Arbiters, Whirlwinds or Stillwinds, but it’s not my style. So now I’m not so sure I’ll enjoy helicopter WC.
We’ve also known for around a year there are going to be helicopter raids. Perhaps all of that is coming in September.
