I recently got For Honor and although I had fun playing against AI to get the hang of the game as soon as I started playing vs players everything just went to hell. I get put up against players with gold gear and multiple prestige in every single game and although that makes it incredibly hard to play and learn it isn't the biggest issue.
Every game I go into that's more than 1v1 I have these high level players run in to gang up on me 2v1 or worse when I'm trying to fight someone. In the 5 games I played tonight there wasn't a single one where I wasn't 3v1d in 4v4 game modes. Even when I try to stay true to the game's spirit by not engaging in other people's battles they just throw it out the window and don't care, spamming 'good fight' and taunting on my corpse after they kill me.
For me personally this lack of what the whole game title is about + the bad servers has completely ruined the game for me. I'm giving it a break for now. Perhaps if more people leave due to the bad servers and the few who actually care about the game remain I'll come back to it.
That's just my opinion on the game so far. I'm not going to hate anyone for still liking it, but for me the fun is gone.

Why the hate bro? It really doesn't take that much time to max out a gear on a character, I have 2 characters at 108 gearscore and I've never "AFK'd", not even once.Originally Posted by Razor__Fox Go to original post
Also if you don't want to fight characters with better gear, you can do duels and brawl until you gear up, gear is disabled in those game modes.

If you're still looking to play with honor in this game you're going to be sorely disappointed. I ask at the start if we're staying to 1 vs 1 and almost always the answer is no. Always good when we can, but don't hold your breath. Some folks are just out to win anyway they can.
Best advice I can give you is ask before the game, but best assume no quarter.

Wow, so you "countered" a "scrubby" tactic with a "****" move?Originally Posted by CoyoteXStarrk Go to original post
Very honorable! /s
Brawl isn't 1v1+1v1, it's 2v2, if you want 1v1, play duel.

Pardon the intrusion, but a couple of things first:
This game requires some degree of mental fortitude and frustration resistence levels. If you are new, I can understand how mass player game modes are extremely hard and difficult to play in, be it due to the gear advantage or the ganking.
My advice would be to dedicate yourself to some training and duels first and learn how to play your character. Mix in the occasional Domination or Death Match session, perhaps even against bots, and study the general feeling and behavior the game modes bring along. The rest is up to you; I have fought against people 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 in Domination, even with better gear than me and I still won. So it is possible. These indicators don't be any means say you are always dealing with competent players. But don't expect the opposite either, they still can beat your *** to next sunday with skill regardless of ganking or not.
Which brings us to the actual core issue. The many-cited perceived game concept of "honor".
It is in my opinion non-existent now and always was. It is purely a userbase construct. It is merely in the game's name. Look at how the bots play in any game mode and realize how the game is intended to be played. Even if you touched the storymode, you will realize that both in the narrative as well as actions of NPCs there is nothing about this so called honor code. Apolleon as well as how she perceives the entire military body of the knights is purely pragmatism and encourages war, even the honourable samura have a map boss who blinds you with smoke bombs and ganks you (!!!) witht hree henchmen or throughout the final stages of the fight orders archers to shoot you while you try to fight and stay alive.
That, ladies and gentlement is the undeniable truth. Those are the facts. If you find people who uphold your personal definition of what fair combat is, what dueling should be like, that's super dandy. But don't expect it to happen. Don't even get me started on games like Dominion which purely exist so teams collect points and then eliminate the opponent team in the fastest, most efficient way. It is a free for all killer scenario and not your honourable knight tourney duel simulation which were held for entertainment and prestige in medieval times. If you fail to comprehend what the game actually entails, then you just need to learn to deal with it or raise above everyone so you can dominate with nothing but your skill or, opposing such lofty goals, become the most dirt-cheap gear farming ******* ganker to counter all gankers possible.
