Developer comments: Please note that we cannot act on Microsoft or Sony Usernames only on Ubisoft Account Usernames.

Improve

DOMINION

• Through the previous two phases of Base Test, we tested a variety of Domination Game Mode changes. These changes are intended to deliver three key benefits:

1. Improve the Popularity Gain of individual classes (for example, so Assassin’s ability to unlock feats is no longer a partying or starvation situation),
2. shift focus to Point Gain / Renown Gain from being too focused on protecting a Capture Point (now a better spread between Capture Point and Minion Lane),
3. remove the uncontrollable Known Bonus from the Known Special Reward (so that teams don’t spike or snowball as much as famous with kill bonuses)

These major Dominion changes are now incorporated into the Live game:

• Known returns are normalized across all classes. All benefits received are now balanced for all Heroes.
  • Hero Kill: 20
  • Spot Removal: 8-20
  • Minion Kill: 2
  • Kill assist: 10
  • Defense Zone (kill in Friendly Zone): 0
  • Capture area: 10
• Competition Zone (fight on a Zone):
  • Fight for ENEMY Zone: 30 / min
  • Fight to KEEP YOUR ONLY: 36/min
  • Zone Boost (stay in Friendly Zone): 42 / min
  • Revive: 20
  • Gather: 30
• Known Special Rewards have been removed, apart from: Comeback, Revenge and Streak breaker.
• Defender Renown, which made known to all allies in a Zone for each kill within it, has been removed.

Feat unlock thresholds are currently:

• Tier 1: 50 (was 58)
• Tier 2: 120 (was 155)
• Tier 3: 210 (which is 265)
• Tier 4: 320 (was 335)

Rebalance points:

• Catch Zone: 0.9 Points/s (was 0.74 Points/s)
• Enhanced Zone: 1.5 Points/s (was 1.85 Points/s)
• Minion line captured: 1.5 points/s (is 1.35 points/s)

Renown Widget has been integrated!

• All known returns will now be concentrated in this widget just above your Known bar.

CHANGES IMPLEMENTED BASED ON THE MOST RECENT TEST GROUP:

Area Capture Speed

• Reverting to the old values, meaning multiplayer assisting the catch will make it speed up, like it always has.

Developer comments: While uniform shutter speed has its upsides, these Test Facility also help us study the negatives. Slower capture speed is made for matches where Zones will be contested for too long and never change hands, as well as less time for the winning team to heal before incurring an attack different from Heroes who are still in full health. We want to roll back this change at this point.

Areas of promotion and competition:

• Boost: 42 Renown/min (previous TG value was 30)
• Game area without owner: 30 Determine/min (previous TG value was 36)
• Match area owned by opposing team: 30 Determine/min (previous TG value was 36)
• Area of ​​play your team owns: 36 Determine/min (previous TG value was 36)
• KNOWED ISSUES: The Known Tally displayed in the Known Widget will be incorrect when checking an Area; displayed values ​​will be inflated. This is a display issue at the moment.

Developer comments: The high competitiveness and little-known increased benefits of the Test Zones have the unwanted effect of making it the best place to be all the time, as the removal of Defender Renown and the relative profits equivalent from another party making it a very low risk of blindly attacking an enemy Zone. Not to mention enhancing an empty area gives the least Renown, and therefore feels non-transitional.
With these new changes where the team that owns the Region is known more for competition and even more for strengthening, we hope trying to win the Region back becomes a more strategic decision with Higher stake levels encourage promoting as a team instead of jumping on top of your own.
