Hey guys n gals.
I don't know anybody (outside of 1 person) that uses Uplay, I have only a couple of people to play For Honor with, the one friend I had to play with regularly quit the game already. So I'm looking to make a group that has a drop-in and drop-out policy. No real requirements, just people wanting to play and have some fun! Read below for more on what I mean by that.
About Me
I work a lot, I don't game as much as I would like to but I get on as often as I can, mostly weekends and some week nights. Sometimes I play a little BF1 and sometimes I play something other than For Honor, but I don't play many different games. I'm pretty laid back, like to laugh and have a good joke but most of all just enjoy playing games with other people that communicate. My Uplay information: PatrickGrifiths

One Requirement!
Have a mic.
Preferred that you use our Mumble server for communication. (Not required)
(well, maybe don't be an asshat is the only other requirement)
Drop-In & Drop-Out?
What I mean by this is simple, you don't have to commit to anything serious, want to play some days and go off and do your own thing other days and not show up for a week or so at a time(?) then that's fine. Drop in and play when you want, feel free to hang out with us and chat or return on days when you're not even playing For Honor if you want to, or just drop out completely. I'm not really too fussed about it. Just looking for some people to group up with and enjoy some For Honor. Ideally you'd stick around but I'm aware that some of us have busy lives.
Mumble
Our VoIP client of choice is Mumble, this server has about a 95% up time but does go down on occasion, rarely takes longer than 5-10mins to get back up again. it's self-hosted and used for a guild on another game (Path Of Exile) but doesn't see very much use lately and there is enough capacity for creating a group on For Honor. Here is a link for you to download it:

Mumble Server Address:
talk.theexiles.net
Leave port as default.
Notes
I don't care what class you play, I don't care what faction you are. (Obviously Vikings are the best faction) I also don't mind how good or bad you think you are at the game, so long as you're willing to play and have fun without judging or putting others down you're going to be welcome, if you're really good, give some tips to others, if not then ask some questions and just try to get better.
There's no application process, fire up Mumble, join the server and get to chatting and playing with whoever else decides to join us. If you don't with to use Mumble then simply add my username and when I play, if you're online I'll message you or you can message me and get into a party. Clearly it will be easier if you just hopped on Mumble but if you have a mic and for some odd reason don't want to use that then you don't have to, the game features in game voice chat so just be sure to use that.
There are a few guys from the UK, some from other parts of the EU and a handful from the US. There's no set time, sometimes we are free to play at unusual hours other people don't work and are on a lot and some work but are on most nights.
Our server auto mutes people when in the "AFK" and "In the area" channels. I usually sit in the area when I am at the computer but busy with something but available and usually sit in AFK when I step away but leave the computer on. (just to let you know)
The Exiles is the guild that I created the Mumble server for, I run that on Path Of Exile and we had a website that wasn't being used very much, if things take off with this little group then maybe I'll launch the site again and open a For Honor section. We had a community side of the site and giveaways. The guild for PoE is approximately 100 players of which about 20 use the Mumble server but lately only about 6 use it regularly, this figure spikes up and down a lot from 6 to 15.
If I'm not around, don't worry just hop into the For Honor channel and group up with whoever is online. The server isn't strict with permissions and titles. If you don't see anybody online then just sit in the AFK channel for a while. Also, when you join it might be easier to set your username to your Uplay username so that people can simply add you based on that.
Questions?
If you can't get the mumble working just let me know or if you want to ask something else feel free. I'll check back when I can and update information as required. If this works out well maybe we can set something a little more stable up and get a few little events going on weekends and maybe some giveaways, who knows.
Lets try and get a little group of regulars going and see if we can't have some real fun here.
Kind Regards,
Patrick.
I won't be playing For Honor for the next 2hrs. After that I'll be around to play for an hour or two. You're all welcome to join up now and play without me and I'll hop on and say hello as soon as I can, if not many people join now just try a little later.
Please reply here and let me know if you're interested and PM or post your username, I'll add you and see if we can't get something going soon.

We can try to get some games going, I'm trying to get a handful of people to group up, so far it has been pretty slow though.
