As it stands right now, the campaigns directly discourage loyalty to your favourite faction. If you spend all your time playing one faction in order to help them win the campaign, you get 2500 RTC. However, if you instead played your faction until you have 10 wins, then change to another character on a different faction, play till 10 wins, and repeat this until you have 10 wins on each faction, you get the maximum total campaign reward of 2500 + 3 * 1000 RTC. So the winning strategy is... not to care who wins, but play all of them and get the winning reward plus all the loser rewards combined. In my opinion, this is a flaw so fundamental it must be changed for the second round of the campaigns. You should only be able to get the end reward for one campaign, and you should have to choose which one that will be before playing your first game during the current round of campaigns.
Campaign RTC is restricted to the faction that your character is on. My Eldar character can't get the RTC my Ork earns for a campaign win etc.
Is that the case? Afaik this is just conjecture on the community's part, unless a dev has confirmed this in the meantime.
The devs confirmed this. You also cant duplicate the faction RTC with multiple characters on the faction. That's how it should work unless it bugs out.
Well that sucks, that means to buy something good you would need to either win (Not happening with LSM, ever) or you would have to wait a month and a half to earn 5000rtc before you can buy a midtier cosmetic. This is HORRIBLE, not a good idea. Campaign rewards are basically bullshit because of this. What are they thinking... If it was global, you would get enough RTC to at least buy something semi-decent every campaign, as a reward for playing so much. Now you have to GRIND to get something every month and a half. I'm not surprised, they are using the carrot on a stick technique and I'm not biting. LSM are basically never going to win a campaign with the way they are, no amount of good guilds for them are going to do it. So this directly hurts LSM players.
If LSM are underpowered (which is not the point of this thread), then that is a different issue. Making the campaign into a system where you hop around the factions to collect your weekly bonus RTC from each of them is not how the campaign should work, and it is also not how any issues with specific factions would be resolved, either. In fact, it would make any imbalance worse: if one faction were to consistently win the campaigns, then players from all other factions would flock to it to collect their 10 wins for the RTC to spend on their main char in a losing faction.
That's confirmed? Then it really is as the OP is saying, it discourages loyalty. IF you could have 4 CSM characters and cash in on each, assuming they each get 10 wins, that would be swell. But if you can only get the reward once per faction, it just incentivises all of us to participate with every faction, even if the RTC rewards are locked to a specific faction.
Well if you want to play that faction, that's fine. My issue was, or would have been, that the system might encourage playing for 10 wins on each faction just to collect tha maximum amount of RTC for your main faction, and that would be terrible.
what a load of bullshit. at least it means i won't have to go insane playing any games as the godawful SPACE MARINES
