Is there a reason we can't start a class action suit against UBI? | Forums

so they have connectivity issues with 2 maps, removing them for debugging, awesome. I though t I would try again because I'm a masochist... 1 minute 30 seconds my match lasted, not to mention my warden was stuck at spawn in the idol animation (holding sword by the pommel and sword to the ground) for 10 seconds before i could move.

Since many of us don't really have problems that you are facing; Lets try to figure out what the solution is. What's your platform? if your on PC what's your specs and ISP? do you have an antivirus which could be interfering?

What is your NAT ? For Honor requires certain ports to be open https://portforward.com/help/for-honor-nat-type-open/

There should be an international ruling.. that all game companies should have a dedicated server in all continents that they wish to sell the game, and that the game be fully supported for a minimum of say 2 years.

Customer protection if you like... not just for Ubi, but everyone who markets/sells computer games

That would kill 99.9% of video game releases. Most online games do without dedicated servers. Absolutely all fighting games (without even a single exception since even For Honor doesn't have ones), all RTS, all arcade games in general, almost all action-adventure games with multiplayer modes, almost all simulations, a big part of racing and sports games, and still a non negligible part of shooters, not mentioning every indie release.

Also there will almost only be games for North America. A lot of games have dedicated servers only in NA (and I'm not talking small games, I'm talking League of Legend's kind of games!) while the rest of the world is satisfied with good old peer-to-peer (which is why, with games like For Honor, you read far less complaints about the servers on french forums for example, they're just used to it).

What you're suggesting would dramatically change the universe of video games. The part where every company has to fully support their game for a minimum of 2 years is also amazing though it would basically affect releases the same way. Only the biggest companies launching AAA FPS/TPS only (and a few racing games) would still produce games. On the plus part, the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises would win far more money than they do now since everyone will be more or less forced to play them.

I admit the connection and error problems at launch were horrible but with each maintenance/hotfix/update these problems have slowly gotten better for me. Yesterday's update was so good for me that i played around six hours with no error's OR no crashed matches from someone leaving , it was amazing how smooth it went.

Firstly: How is the game incomplete? Serious question--I do not know what you are referring to.
Secondly: While dedicated servers would be nice, Ubi is under no obligation to provide them and never said they would.

So, no, I certainly wouldn't advise you to try and take them to court. lol

Being dissatisfied with the state of the game is not the same as false advertising. They gave us everything that was advetised thus far, or when something has been removed (either temporarily like maps or permanently like some of the original special edition rewards), it's been done within the constraints of their EULA.
As for connection issues, no game can reliably guarantee good connections, especially with P2P, and their EULA reflects that as well.
There's simply no legal ground to stand on.

I think it's a generational thing. This outrage that the game isn't 100% ironclad and bug free and all the rewards aren't easily attainable in a day or two. Anyone else remember when Ultima Online launched? How about World of Warcraft? Too far back? Lets say Destiny then.

All of them had huge horrifically sloppy launches that would make this look like child's play. The amount of cross-carrying outrage threads posted for this game is staggering. Some of you are acting like they have attacked you physically or something. It's tiring hearing all the constant whining. You bore me, time to go play some For Honor.

The fact that you asked if there is a reason you can't sue on a video game forum is reason enough

If you want to start a law suit my best advice for you is to main a Lawbringer.
