    Revenge cool down?

    Okay I'm going to give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt here and say the revenge mechanic is an amazing idea but it was just implemented poorly. Im sure everyone has been up against a PK or a Warlord who just won't die because they gain revenge constantly off of blocking or just simply getting hit. Now I'm not saying revenge is op because it is possible to deal with someone with revenge if you are experienced. But it is a pain to try to kill one person knowing their revenge stats and a inexperienced teamate comes and starts hacking at the guy and feeds revenge and now your both screwed. We've all been through it but I lady's and gentlegeeks have a simple solution.

    Give revenge a 45 to 60 second cool down. Make it so that people have to use their revenge wisely and more strategically. Also make it so that when you gain revenge you can hold it for a longer period of time, giving you more options when you feel it's necessary to use it. Give players the option to disable it in custom matches or toggle the length of it so that it gives it more flexibility, If you want a full out competitive game without it or you can switch it up and give everyone super powers! Also disable it in duels and brawls as those are the most honrable game modes you can play and revenge is ruining that.

    In conclusion revenge is a mechanic that brings balance to the game. When you are out numberd it gives that slight buff you need to grant you a chance a at winning. People don't forget this game is brand new and I know Ubisoft doesn't have the best rep but they really have a masterpiece here. Give them time and hopefully a few tweaks here and there and this game can be something we all know it can be (Legendary). So stick with it and keep your guard up!

    Ps: Dedicated servers please 😀

    If you think revenge isn't broken... Then your broken... in the head. It's not something you can "avoid" setting off it gains by any defensive (offensive too with feat) move (dodge,block,parry) even getting hit.

    There are ways to deal with revenge. But, the gain when not outnumbered needs to be nerfed a bit. It is fine the way it is during 1v2/3/4 (it is supposed to be an equalizer to encourage honorable fights.)

    No I think it's still broken in outnumbered situations. People are literally near invincible if they have a revenge build. I was fighting someone in dominion (108 PK to be exact) And their team was breaking and he was the last man standing. Long story short he got revenge 8 times and killed everyone with zone attacks until I finally guard broke and got the kill. If someone can get revenge close to 10 times within one fight then it is broken period. And as mentioned in my initial post, if you play with someone that just hacks and slashes at the guy and feeds revenge THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT.

    It's you who doesn't know what you're talking about. Revenge is the single most complained about thing on the forums along with pks. Players like you are so ignorant that it blows my mind. If something doesn't function right, players will sit there with there stupid *** "git gud" hats on and tell everyone they don't know how to play. Revenge gain is an issue. Revenge damage is an issue. Period. There's no debate to be had. It's an established fact. You're like people who deny climate change.

    What you can't seem to understand is that no matter how good you are, the people around you may not be. You can be the absolute best player in the world. You can know how to counter revenge better than anyone. But that doesnt change the fact that you can be in a fight you intend to be 1v1, But someone can run over in the middle of your attack and try and land a heavy or something and give your opponent revenge and you just get killed in one hit.

    Revenge WILL see nerfs because it is not functioning as intended. Period. And when it does I hope you feel like a ******* for defending it. I'm sick of idiots like you spreading your stupidity all over this forum. You are the absolute opposite of anything that remotely resembles progress and positive changes to this game.

    And as for the OP, I think revenge should have a cooldown IF it stays the way it currently is. That would balance it imo. If they nerf It, cooldown won't be needed because it will be harder to get. But revenge should be unable to be gained on 1v1 situations. You should only get it with 1v2 and over situations. And the gain should be capped. You shouldn't get more revenge just because more people are around. I honestly believe that in a 1v3 or more situation, you should die. Revenge should only be a way to stay alive long enough to have backup arrive. If they can't save you, you deserve to die. In no way shape or form should you be able to hold your ground against 3 or more people. You should have to run or be saved

    Actually you are the absolute opposite of anything that remotely resembles progress .Why ? because you need or want anything that prevent you from winning 100% remove from this game.You want balance and fair chance.You want things that you can't control removed from the game.

    You're an idiot if you think it's balanced. Period. I win 75 percent of my games of any game type. I know how to play. I get way more kills with revenge than I have deaths from it and every single time I get a kill with it, I feel like an *******. Why? Because it's a broken piece of **** mechanic that will be fixed. The devs already said it's not working as intended. So you think you know the game better than the devs now? No. Because they made the game And not you. And how could I be the opposite of progress? You're the one who doesn't want to change the game in a way that would make it better. It's a stupid mechanic that people like you exploit against lower-level players in order to ruin the game for them. It's people like you would that make it so having a Revenge build is necessary to compete against other players. And if you are going to sit there and boldly claim that I think I would win 100% of my games without Revenge then clearly revenge is a game breaking mechanic. If I'm good enough to win 100% of my games without Revenge, then I clearly understand the game in ways that others do not and I deserve to win. This game is about practice and technique and learning the character that you choose to play. It should not revolve around getting beat up enough so that you can kill someone in one shot if they make one mistake. You're a *******
