So I pre-ordered this game for PC and signed up for the closed beta access and luckily had the entire day off to test it out and see how it ran, and holy crap I cannot believe this game is going to be published in less than a month! This game has so many problems that need to be fixed that I don't honestly think pushing the release date back 6 months would be enough time to fix all the problems that occur in this pile of crap called a game.
Typical of Ubisoft games, it's a wonderful concept, great idea, beautifully done graphical design. YET, none of the basic game functions work what-so-freaking-ever.
1. For some reason Ubisoft still hasn't figured out how to correct their broken "parry" system since AC Unity (talk about another horrible game)
2. Dominion literally NEVER worked for me at all! Seriously guys if you are going to put a game mode out for your beta please for Christ sake make sure it works. Honestly IDK how you couldn't manage a server with only 8 players and AI to be able to work properly. DICE was able to launch multiplayer maps with 40+ players and a load of random AI in a star wars battle, but no I somehow cannot play with 7 other players with random dudes waiving around their swords? ya okay
3. Oh this is just getting fun isn't it? Just as much fun as it is when I'm in the middle of a 1 v. 1 match with a BOT because for some reason that's all that seems to work at the time and then all of the sudden the entire game crashes. Oh boy let me go ahead and just re-launch this game again, recite 20 hail marys and hope that Christ is on my side the next time I want to go through a whole match without my game crashing!
4. Don't worry almost done with my bullet points here. But I really couldn't help but especially be driven insane when stuck in a stupid que trying for the life of me to play a single match of Dominion to at least have to freedom to quit out of the que to the main menu. NOPE says Ubisoft, you gotta close the entire freaking game and re-launch the entire thing. Seriously, this beta alone makes me want to never play this game mode, which is really unfortunate because the concept seems pretty nice.
5. Last point. The communication system is utter crap, the only thing I happened to get to work were the quick chat commands of "Good Fight" and "WOW" seriously if this is the entirety of how I can communicate with my peers while playing this game then go ahead and knock $40 off the game price since I get better chat options with freaking Rocket League. Seriously Ubisoft get your life together!!!
All in all this game had A LOT of potential and unfortunately for me I had many high hopes of this game actually having a lot to offer for the anyone who would enjoy a good sword and shield battle to the death. But I unfortunately cannot get over the fact that this game is a really poor interpretation of a game that's already been made by a better publisher and is called Chivalry. I honestly thought this would have been a better more advanced version of it, which maybe after 100 patches and 1 1/2 years later it just might be, but I really don't think I want to stick around that long pulling every strain of my hair out while Ubisoft tries to figure their life out during that process. I tried this beta out on pc, now before any of you nimrods try and say "oh well maybe you don't have good enough specs" I got the latest edition made by Alienware literally made for gaming, so trust me, my specs are up to par, so there's no reason at all for this simple beta to have this many issues in less than a day. However, I TOTALLY GET IT this beta is not supposed to be anything like the finished product, but I have never encountered a beta so messed up to the point it has made me consider returning my pre-order for a collector's edition. Again the reason why I'm freaking out this much is because this is what Ubisoft puts in front of my face when I'm set to pick up the final copy in LESS THAN 3 WEEKS PEOPLE. That is not a time frame I can realistically consider them to fix all of the problems this game has given that this should have been taken care of A LONG TIME AGO!
Long story short, I have no idea at all how Ubisoft will be able to prepare this game for a full launch and somehow survive the repercussions of the aftermath that will ensue. You can only get away with selling people crap for so long until it comes back to bite you. I for one am not an individual who EVER writes reviews or feedback cuz it's time out of my day I can better spend elsewhere. However, this beta just killed me. I got so hyped for this game and I literally have lost all faith that this game will even be worth 5 minutes of my time. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Few things same on me - but just I didn't play much time!
Just at the training, I thought about ending:
this blocking/parry-**** doesn't work, sry - but this doesnt work good.

1.) the parry mechanic is nothing like AC-unity and works perfectly fine... if you are unable to make use of it you either have a **** internet connection and lag-problems or you just need to get better
2.) i had maybe 3 connection problems over the whole beta weekend, so cant judge your problem, but i'd guess that you are over exaggerating on this
3.) same as #2
4.) didnt have that problem once, so cant judge that either... longest queue took maybe 3 minutes (probably less)
5.) you can press T for chat (TAB to switch channels) and type whatever you want... the chat could use some QoL improvements, but it works perfectly fine
also, comparing this game to chivalry just shows that you are just raging with no real reason.

I Had the chance to play the Closed Beta of For Honor and i enjoyed the game very much. Yes i agree there were issues with connection but very few i experienced while playing closed beta. Controls of game was bit difficult but later it was easy once i practice on it. I feel we should appreciate UBISOFT for bringing some new concept of gaming and listening to Gamers all around the world unless like EA and COD Games which gives same **** Over and Over again.

It's closed beta.
Have you seen BF4 when it was closed beta?

Closed beta like 14 days before release...for me it is more like a promo than a betaneed to say...successful promo :P
