As of right now the game feels quite different to the beta, the GB's are getting reverted and it was a huge part of what a lot of people are complaining about, and a major factor of the push and shove that
a lot of ppl have a problem with.
The game meta as of right now is super defensive, "Never attack first" Duels and Brawls still mostly play out in the way they have, the only issue being the shield spam of conq and warlord's heatbut that need to be toned down a bit.
Dominion is a different beast entirely. there are 3 major issues 1.Being the community that doesn't quite understand that they need to PTFO, and treat dominion like a TDM. 2.The map design for a lot of maps allow classes like the conqueror/lawbringer/shungoki/warlord to completely dominate by using pits/ spikes ect to push people in to these from very far away and often from blind angles. 3. Higher level gear gets pretty BS, I'm in blue gear and I've 1Shot PK"s and assassins by getting Revenge up(I main a warlord).
There are issues that need to be addressed you are often put into loosing matches 700 points down in dominion, BOT's often replace people in other game modes and the networking issues can be frustrating. Honestly I would hold off on the buy since ubisoft announced that they are fixing some issues. But if you can get past this the game is at it's core the same game you played in the BETA, just with a few additional problems added on.

I honestly can't recommend it. Tripple A game with in game shop. Toxic community, spamming Orochi's everywhere, and people will stand right next to you while you're fighting an enemy, and wait just until you get him down enough so they can one-shot. Perfect example of another hyped game, that people force themselves to enjoy and defend because they paid money for it. Save your money. It's in no way worth full price.

Game has its fair share of problems atm. I will list the pros and cons so anyone still on the fence can deicide.
Pros:
Customisation is Decent
War of factions is a neat little meta that change map looks
A decent amount of freedom on making a gear build for your characters.
Fun to play with friends (obviously not for people who are using the uplay client as ive heard its really tedious to invite friends)
Story Mode is somewhat decent
1v1, 2v2, elimination and skirmish game modes are fairly fun.
CONS
Peer to peer connection (Dont understand why ubi didnt just use dedicated servers, i know its expensive but we are talking about a company who makes alot of money) which causes alot of disconnects, before anyone blames my internet, i have fast internet.
Guard Break spam, even the bots do it. You can guard break counter but its super awkward due to timing issues and peer to peer connection. Apperantly the guard break is being rectified though.
4v4 (dominion) is an absolute gank fest, it will definitely frustrate the hell out of you
Alot of balancing issues that need sorting ASAP
Steel amounts for matches are too small
Broken match making where level 5s are going against rep 1+s.
Last but not least, full game Controls compared to the betas feel really unresponsive.
If you want my suggestion though, wait till ubi sorts the game out first.

Do not buy anything but the standard edition as you will most likely not get any of the deluxe edition, gold or season pass items, do not buy if your NAT is strict or if you have a bad internet connection do to the dependency on P2P connections for game matches.
A good game but those problems make it a major pain.
