To the OP I agree, sure it needs some polishing but I had given up most MP games after AC Black Flag (all ACMP) because the shooters had gotten so monotonous. This has sparked the fire for me again and am looking forward to playing it for a long time. I love a non-conventional MP and this fits the bill perfectly. And while some people have connection issues for me it's been pretty stable I get the odd drop when people quit but 80% or more of the games I join I'm in them until the end. Other than that I have little or no issue with the mechanics in it and am doing quite well with them.
For Honor 4 Life! I really love this games thrilling mechanics, epic high narrative aesthetics, tasteful music and ambience, and its deep, deep strategy, it's the most refreshing and exhilarating multiplayer gaming experience I've had in forever. That moment when you're on the battlefield and parrying 3 enemies all at once, suddenly explode with revenge and kill at least two of them, thanks in part to long practice with the moveset but also strategic gear choices... even IF you wind up getting killed, you've not only severely weakened their battlefield presence but kept them preoccupied for a precious good time while your other teammates are fulfilling objectives, pushing the front or leveling up feats, giving your team an unexpected winning edge. I love those moments where you're running through the battlefield, check the map and lay of the heroes and suddenly get that epiphany moment where you realize your enemies are probably going to make a bid to secure an unguarded objective and then successfully head them off, or have to make ad-hoc gambles as to where you think you're most needed based on what objectives are being contested, which areas are unguarded, where your opponents and enemies are, etc. Just, so many ingenious aspects to this game that genuinely make the victory feel glorious, I can't praise it enough.
That said, the connection issues admittedly suck, so I definitely sympathize with other players frustrations, I've already had my painful fair share of teleporters, painful one-sided lag and sudden, abrupt disconnects, the experience can change from glory to fury on a dime. However, if Ubisoft invests in fixing the problems then I think a lot of the frankly petulant press this otherwise incredible game has gotten will be significantly palliated, getting dedicated servers going would go a long way. I think local play for expert players looking to control for any lag issues and friendly modes for more casual players would have helped too, as currently there are no options for either, pigeon-holing everyone into an okay yet inevitably spotty online experience.
I really think For Honor is a great game that really deserves more credit than its gotten. I'd love to see this game, its community and meta expand and become successful mainstays within the online competitive world. I know I'm gushing, but man do I LOVE this game!
Thanks for the love alustar24! These little moments of appreciation mean so much to us. We know that FH isn't perfect and that there are still spaces for improvement, so we're working extremely hard to look at and address these major issues. It hasn't been long since release, but we already have made some updates, and will continue making updates and improvements to make the FH experience the most enjoyable it can be for everyone.Originally Posted by alustar24 Go to original post
It is incredibly refreshing to actually see positivity from the community. I adore this game in the same vain that I adored Evolve upon release. It is unique and fluid and for me the heart and soul of what the game is makes the issues with it bearable. I am in no way saying they should be ignored but I am saying it seems too many people are ready to discredit a game for an inconvenience instead of praising what it actually brings to the table.

I as a Silent Player (as you call it) do not support mediocracy, do not support the major price tag this game exploits given the numerous bugs that have been consistant since Alpha. I dont support people like your self speaking on behalf of people who really dont know.
Devs need to react themselves and realise they have made mistakes and plenty of them.. This game will fail unless they seriously rethink the direction of this game.
What type of game is it really? do all the characters fit thematically? are all the characters really balanced across all skill levels? when will the MM system be fixed?
I am sure they realise this isn't the game they hoped for and i am confident that given time it will be a great game but please don't give praise on behave of others.

this game does bring a lot of unique and interesting concepts. but its competitive and Lambs are not really welcome encase you didn't get the plot of the story XD
everyone has their fav character and will always defend that character no matter what.. But you have to realise there is always a little truth in whats being said. Some characters sadly are stronger/ skill is impacted by other variables in a game...which may be a result of the game being too sensitive.
example - my mouse attacks are faster and more responsive than my controller because it has a higher dpi or w.e XD
but it makes blocking difficult.. add in other issues like latency/lag/server/ superior connection etc and u have a lot of variables that make the game frustrating.
Its great to se how fast ou react to the brown nosing comments XD but cant you talk more with the community about things that are relevant? if you were more open or transparent about what your planning youd have less haters and more understanding.Originally Posted by UbiNoty Go to original post
PFFFF are you saying that you don't get matchmaking long queues? No matchmaking errors? No pauses during online gameplay? No game crashing due to leavers without getting xp, steel nor statistics?
Ubinoty you are a hypocrite, if bugisoft doesn't pay you I trully feel sorry for you.
its so sad how fast you are to jump on brown nosing comments, but when actual issues such as horrid gear balancing and matchmaking comes up, all you give is a "well it we are looking into it".Originally Posted by UbiNoty Go to original post
you're game is slowly losing players every single day because no one wants to play a game where only 2 modes are remotely balanced, and the other 3 modes are full of revenge/PK spam that is almost impossible to counter unless you predict if they are gonna zone or not.
