For Honor Update 2.30.1 Patch Notes
IMPROVEMENTS
TESTING GROUNDS
Dominion
· Increased Kill Assist to 10 points (from 8)
Developer’s Comment: The Renown gain when defeating an opponent was too skewed towards who dealt the last hit, and as such we’ve increased the Assist reward to compensate this.
· Increased Boosting Zone Renown to 0.5/s (from 0.4)
· Decreased Contesting Zone Renown to 0.6/s (from 0.7)
Developer’s Comment*: The large gap between Boosting and Contesting zones made contesting more attractive than boosting, leading to situations where players preferred letting a zone be contested so they could gain renown at a faster pace. This effect should be minimized with this change.*
· Decreased Boosted Zone Points to 1.5/s (from 1.8)
· Increased Captured Minion Lane Points to 1.5/s (from 0.9)
Developer’s Comment: The first week of testing indicated that matches were longer than anticipated on average – one cause of this was the lowered point gain from the Minion Lane.
In the first week of testing, players focused on Side Points much more than the Minion Lane, and as such were spending very little time clearing minions; this lead to lowered point gain as teams control the Minion Lane for shorter periods of time. We want players to still consider the Minion Lane as a good place to gain points and to spread apart, so this change is aimed at making sure that the Minion Lane is still an attractive place to focus efforts towards.
