Where is the balance patch? | Forums

[Thanapetus]

You rang?

The balance update is still in the works. Thanks to the community's feedback, we are aware that defense is a lot stronger than intended and we have been looking into ways to tweak it without compromising the core gameplay. We hope to have more news and details to share in the near future, so keep an eye on our Official News and Announcements forum, as well as our social media.

It isnt JUST defense. How are you not seeing how omniblock/shield tackle was the greatest way to stop light attack stagger spam? Fix THAT first then fix omniblock/tackle.

Most likely we'll see the next major patch around the 28th if we take into account the time frame for the first major patch. console patch would follow a week after.

We're aware of those as well, but the OP specifically mentioned defense.

Can you have gear turned off and tie gear stats to timed events only? I say timed only because you don't want to split the base with more modes. Maybe every weekend and every bi-weekly have 4v4 domination and elimination modes. Bonus exp and loot to go along with said events please.

And you really need a PTR and some dev updates regarding what your doing with balance. A little something for the player because of how long you are taking.

That's a interesting suggestion and I'll be sure to make a note of it, truecoins.

Updates, straight from our devs, usually occur on our weekly livestream, The Warrior's Den. This past week, our stream was more casual and there wasn't much talk about the issues, but we should have more devs on to talk starting next week. Otherwise, most of our communication regarding the official changes will come from our patch notes, which will be published prior to the patch's release.

You guys need to ATLEAST give an estimated time on when this patch is getting released, because all you are doing is killing your game...

Do you have any idea how many people are sick and tired of dealing with the issues associated with Ubisoft games? You are lucky that no other fighting games similar to FH were released recently, because to be frank, ALL this company has left to depend on is Rainbow Six Siege.

You need to step up your game; this game has had multiple testing phases, yet despite this the game was STILL released in this state.

Yep, this is taking too long. Already lost a huge chunk of the population and the game is in a worse state its ever been in.

If only there was any other game remotely interesting out, i wouldn't be here waiting for For Honor to come out of beta.

Well, I like a dev is stepping up here. I myself would not mind if you take your time in this department. And I could only hope you are checking out community's tournaments as well as forum's feedback.
So PLEASE, i beg you, don't come up whith such lines as "Raider is a PK killer" ever again. Take your time. You did a great job developing this game. I trust you.

Also, i heard people bring up blocking should drain stamina and dashes costing stamina too...at first i was like ew, running out of stamina is one of the most annoying things to me, esp without the gear stat turned off to make it more manageable. Lawbringer gets tired quick!

But after more thought i think it could work... But you would have the effectively double or triple the stamina bar so you will have to do an extreme amount of turtling and extreme amount of defending. I mean Darksouls/Bloodbourne seem to balance the resource management of attacks/defend/dodge/sidestep.

Anyways it maybe something worth testing to see how it works.

Then UBIJurassic please forward this along to the "Powers that be"

1) No way should assassins should be able to stagger LB/Shugoki with Light Attacks, you can stagger with Heavys.
2) Raiders should be able to be staggered with Lights but Raider gets much more mobility, evade attack (I would like to see a fast knockdown) and swing speed increase
3) LB should get more defense for the lack of mobility OR more HP
4) LB should be considered a heavy and the running charge should be unblockable like Warlord Push, Raider Charge, Shugoki Charge
5) Add more stamina consumption to Warlord Headbutt and Warden Shoulder Charge
6) Rebindable Controllers, specified to heros

Those 6 things in combination to the 20 I earlier posted will give you guys a huge amount of goodwill toward returning accounts. I honestly would suggest that a high ranking member of management to publicly apologize for the growing pains of the game etc. Push it to gaming media and so called Youtube Critics who have a stranglehold on gamers thought processes (IE Totalbiscuit, Maximillian Dood and Angry Joe)

You have to establish a Public Test Server and ACTUALLY LISTEN to them. this game will not develop true balance until then.

This is coming from someone who was in the top 100 in Mortal Kombat X and top 150 for Ultimate Marvel V Capcom 3. I can tell you, this game has the potential to be juggernaut in competitive gaming IF you iron out some of these problems now.
