The source is Kabam. Technically, we're in off-season for AW and we're supposed to be having wars but right now we don't.
You can refresh these like you can with the daily ones as well.
Since I have been in direct conversations with the developers regarding the objective and event systems, technically speaking the source I can cite is me.
You guys should be helping forum members not trolling them.
Everyone gets one free push of that button for both daily and weekly objectives (one each). Using it causes that objective to be replaced by a randomly selected one. Successive pushes within the same objective set (not just the same objective) will cost units to use. In other words, if you push the button for Alliance War fighting that will replace that objective with a random one. If you try to push it for Alliance Fighting which is also in the weekly tab in the same day, the game will charge you units (it should try to confirm that request first. That looks like this:
Again: first one per day is free, and only additional requests to randomly redraw an objective in the same tab in the same day cost units.
However, if you're simply asking why it is even there at all, that is because these objectives are programmed to run on a schedule, and the game engine doesn't know there's no way going on: it just keeps pumping them out on the same schedule, and it takes too much effort to change it, so Kabam is simply going to let it go. Players can ignore it or use the redraw button if they choose.
If you're asking if this objective actually *affects* war in any way, it does not. It is a way to reward players who participate in war by granting a small reward when the objective is satisfied, which happens when you defeat three defenders in war. Changing the objective doesn't affect alliance war or your alliance's enlistment in war. It is simply a thing on the side where players can earn small amounts of rewards for participating in certain parts of the game. Do it, change it, or just ignore it.
Alliance war is scheduled into seasons. During a war season, individual wars score points towards an overall season leaderboard, for which there are rewards given to alliances depending on how high they place on that leaderboard. War seasons are not back to back to give players a break, during which you can still do alliance war but those wars are just individual wars that do not count for anything else. This is referred to as the off season period for war.
As Kabam is working on a new feature for alliance war (the persistent placement feature) and as this feature is currently not working correctly, wars have been disabled completely until this is resolved. This is technically still the off season period (we are outside of a season) but wars have also been disabled completely, which is a different thing entirely.
What about my original post makes it seem serious and not just a funny observation? Was it the Michael Jordan meme? Guys I am a 7 year player well versed in how the select a new objective arrow works. I have unlocked a new achievement of forum trolling however. So thanks for that.
I will be more vigilant about prefacing my not so serious posts with a sarcasm or satire warning.
I knew you'd understand. I'll use the crying Michael Jordan meme for my next satirical post.
P.S. First thing I did after seeing the weekly objectives and shaking my head in disbelief was to press the select new objective button. I came up complete 12 quests. To the best of my knowledge, Kabam didn't cancel quests so I should be able to hammer this new objective out.
I admit, I forgot there were shards in the calendar. I am a big enough person to admit my short comings. However, in my minimal defense there have been instances in the past where special shards did not add up to an even number of crystals despite collecting from all sources.
Edit: I apologize that was rude. Im older and wiser now and can see the error of my ways
Well that hurt. But then again it could be that I am an idiot or maybe a guy just trying lighten the mood of the forums with a little humor.
@ahmynuts I will stick to serious stuff from here on out. Pinky swear.
