Knights without honor | Forums

[WONTOLLA JACK]

premise: maybe I am a little bit crazy, I'm an INFP and a boy scout chief so I am a person with principles and a great sense of honor ...

Playing at the duel in alpha mode I got this question ... why put the "outmap" kills in a duel!?
Today I found a player who as the main faction of the knights, and had used the warden like me, I think "look at that, is my brother in arms" ... he beat me three times; and for three time he killed me 2 of 3 kill with outmap kill...I have never tried to throw it off the map, and I tried to go and fight in the more open areas and without holes...maybe I'm just an idiot but I think a outmap killing is a killing without honor that does not fit in a duel especially if between two knights...

Learn to counter guardbreaks or don't fight near ledges. I find these kills funny and it's always your own fault if you die by them.

No, half the time it's the terrible netcode not reading that you pressed the counter button.

It is a fight to the death, and we may have both been Wardens, but we represent different factions. My rise to glory will outshine your defeat, and your blood shall forever stain the boots from which the ledge you fell from it sprang.

It never happen with me. But yes we need dedicated server. Maybe you were just to slow sometimes :P. I use the Xbox Elite controller and have mapped guardbreak on a padle and don't have to move my finger at all to activate gaurdbreak. And my internet connection is good and stable. Not everyone has the luxury of that.

I use a regular Xbox controller and don't need to move my fingers to hit it either. It just straight up doesn't register a lot of the time.

Historically speaking both Knights and Samurai were actually quite selective about their much lauded notions of honour. Many knights and samurai chose to apply 'honour' whenever it most suited them. Both knights and samurai could go about butchering countless peasants just for looking at them funny and yet still lay claim to being 'honourable' as long as they didn't go around butchering members of royalty for example.

So in that context I'd say the duels in For Honor are indeed quite historically accurate in terms of two warriors doing everything they can in order to survive a fight.

Honor is used befor combat, like, not ambush, not gangup on somone and so forth. When in combat the honor goes out the door, you die if you lose.

How do you counter a guard break, or grab?

I was on PC with keyboard/mouse.
Yes - I know, should have looked up the relevant key binding.
