Honor Battles for the Sea of Thieves

    Unsure of whether or not its intentional, but since the release of same faction battles in hourglass I've found many of the more grindy hourglass commendations got more difficult.
    During my time playing I've noticed same faction battles not contributing towards commendations and statistics regarding ships sunk.

    This makes commendations such as "Rack Them Up" (Sink 500 Guardians of Fortune) Take well over 500 successful hourglass fights as a good portion of my hourglass battles are of the honor variety.
    I do think this could be intentional considering the wording of these commendations and am personally curious of what you all think.

    Unfortunately it seems they want it to stay this way. There’s been quite a few threads about this topic over the months since they introduced same faction battle, they’ve changed the requirements or wording for specific commendations and milestones, but these super grindy ones stay the same.

    I’ve decided until they introduce a way to guarantee faction, or change the requirements to include same faction, that I’m no longer going to put any attention into those commendations.

    It would probably be a bit of work, but i feel the way they could fix this is make the visual effect on the ships into a client side thing, and make it so any enemy sink in the mode counts as sinking the enemy team, that way same faction will functionally not be a thing any more. Possibly put in a check that sees what side you are fighting for, and if the enemy sinks it also replaces the flag they drop with the enemy factions flag.

    Im sure it would take quite a bit of effort, but it would be very worth while, and make many people very happy.

    Oh, I wasn't sure what the same faction thing was about the first time I saw a ship from my same faction show up in Hourglass.

    So what's the logic here? Is it a way to make the wait shorter by picking whichever player is available regardless of faction?

    as much as I agree with the general statement... I have to say I prefer having same faction battles over dead queues.
