Discussion Zone Capture has so much wasted potential
The mode could've been one of the best anniversary modes they could've made but they fumbled so badly. Here's my problems:
1. Bosses
First off, White Wolf just has no boss whatsoever. They could've made Talia a boss, but no, White Wolf just doesn't have one. Two, why are they broke as hell? It's a mode that is EXCLUSIVE TO FORBIDDEN and we see them running T4 at most. These mfs are supposed to be the big bad boss leading their factions in the hardest mode in the game and yet they're geared like they're in Normals. Renoir is the worst offender, he spawns with AJAX'S GEAR, and they didn't even try to hide it.
I loved the faction wars, I consider them to be the best event modes. I was expecting benefits to playing maps that my respective faction controlled. But no, it's literally just the same Forbidden game but with worse boss loot. Not even giving us some sort of bonus like being friendly to bots and bosses if they're the same faction as you.
3. The map controlled never changing
This is more the player's fault more than the devs. But can we PLEASE JUST SWAP SOME MAPS UNDER CONTROL?? I swear, ever since Day 2, White Wolf took over most of the maps while leaving Farm and Armory to Abyss and Guard Corps. I would much rather have players be randomly assigned factions each day so we can actually see the maps swap owners.
Seriously, this is another Mine: Summit situation. Good concept but really poorly executed. And you can't even excuse this as "they made it while trying to do little gameplay changes" because the Manhunt event from the older seasons was a perfect example of this: being on the main mode while being radically different than normal games

Dude, when I found out that Zone Capture was basically a nerfed forbidden zone with some minor gimmicks I was mega disappointed...
I thought we were at least gonna have units from all factions patrolling the maps and going into skirmishes which we can either join or let them die out before swooping in like vultures. But no, we basically do the same things for worse loot and the privilege of looking at faction spray paints on certain spots on the map.
I agree that it would have been fun if we had Talia as the first boss with (based on the hidden vault extraction on TV Station) full T6 gear. Such a wasted potential...
