Refund My Steel Invested in Gear | Forums

[Alustar.exe]

Try capping 4 or 5 characters to max level, i've spent because of it. Prior to this, i grinded up every steel and time to level up all of them. Max rep 62, though im saving up crates for my new second main cent

Do you even know how asinine that retort is? It is literally not my problem, nor anyone else's that you CHOSE to play and gear more than one hero. And the simple fact that you fall back to that argument is laughable.

Ever heard of the terms "impulse purchase" or "buyers remorse"? That's exactly what's happening. Players are being impulsive with their finances and suffering regret and blaming the dev team.

If you don't want to feel like you wasted money, consider first of you NEED that purchase first. For honor is a game of leisurely activity, therefore any purchase is a desire, not a necessity. Stop trying to raise this wildly illegitimate claim that Ubisoft stole from/cheated/screwed you over with this patch. Any gamer with half a decade of experience and the wherewithal to discern patterns knew that gear would be changed/updated/reworked.

Firstly the stats on your odl gear weren't "Randomized" in values as many claim. If you had taken the time to notice, any value for slot 1 on the gear was transfered over and given new values to fit the new system.

Which mean if you had a head piece, with stats favoring exhaustion recover, debuff resistance, and limiting revenged mode duration(not sure if that's exactly what was there, then they simply altered the values, they gave you a headpiece with stats favoring exhaustion revover, debuff resist and limiting your defense now.And if you are rep 30 now, then you were loikely far enough along that you were going to upgrade your gear anyway, since all the drop youd be getting woulld make your old gear obsolete. Cause, progression.

That's simply not the case. On all my previous builds I always left debuff res. at minimum (since it's pretty rare to get hit by a debuff feat in most matches) and maxed out Defense either as a primary or secondary stat, but when the new gear system hit it was actually reversed on my builds, I actually had negative Defense on ALL my armor and in some cases high Debuff, and when I took my Warden online she was ripped to shreds in a matter of hits. It was a singularly painful experience.

Second, it's not Ubisofts fault, nor do they have any responisbilty for what players have spent their money on. QQ smoe moar?

That Ubisoft can absolve itself from any responsibility for the consequences of their modifications is covered in the EULA, but being conscientious of how decisions affect paying patrons is good business practice. Point in case, it's very doubtful anyone who previously spent Steel to customize their characters will do so in the future, meaning lost business. The sword cuts both ways.

I image Ubisoft put stat based gear in the game to allow people a modicum of control over how they play a character differently than others. The stat gains aren't enough to garunetee a win, so it's still a skill based game. Maybe you are confusing the styles of gear and stating with MMOs, but this type of customization is negligable at best. It's fluff to help me play the way I want.Like you said, add subtle nuances to the gameplay that can affect how players run the same hero.

With the time contrsraints on the patch rol out and how much MORE time it would have taken to give everyone the optino to restat, I don't see how that would have been much better, honestly.especially when you take in to account how other titles have handled such, and no. No MMO I've ever played did they give you the optino to restat after changing gear. Maybe after overhauling skill trees and such, you were alotted a free respec, but nothing to do with gear. Typically if anything happened to the gear, you dealt with the changes/upgrade, and worked on getting the new pieces as needed.

I agree, the gear system is a fun extra feature to the game, I find tooling around with stats and outfitting new looks to be a pleasant break between matches. It can take a lot of effort to get things where you like, though, and you can definitely feel the difference on the battlefield. I'm not sure how this kind of revamp is handled in other games, but if they don't offer respecs they really ought to in my opinion, it would only be fair to those who invested time (or money) to at least let them personally transition their old gear to a new system. Then again, it might not be worth the company's investment to develop a respec system if only a few players are occasionally inconvenienced, and I wouldn't doubt that most players weren't terribly affected by the change at all if they even noticed. I personally found the transition to be initially painful, but thankfully shorter-lived than it could have been.

Still haven't spent money to buy loot and I'm 132, 18 more levels and will be capped and that's less than a week after this update.
So much for that theory, huh?


Care to try that again?

They want to earn more money. NOT EVERYONE will spend moeny but money will still be earnt with new gear. Understand now?Good

You have made it perfectly obvious that you do not spend in this game. You have made it obvious how you feel about people spending. This thread obviously does NOT apply to you, since you don't spend. I do not know why people have to invade threads that do not apply to them, to lord their opinions over others. I cannot tell if you are trying to just the fact that YOU do not spend, or are trolling.

Everytime an online game have a change this kind of topic appear.

You used that on Season 1. You-used.
They said a good time before Season 2 that stats would be reworked, Reason I didn't wanted to upgrade any equip of my alt and ended the season with 19k Steel, I think. Another reason was because they said, before the Season 2 too, that the costs for upgrade would be reduced.

So with that information you could have decided if wait or use already. If you did before the information was released, then you used the upgraded equipment a lot!

If you have 108 geared heroes, this 108 gear worth nothing just because you need Epic now, what you will start drop right on the first match. Any Epic gear is superior to Heroic without the need for any upgrade.

I ****ing can't understand this generation of players!

Because it is a public forum and a General Discussion portion of the forums. Therefore threads are not just for people that it applys to, its for the whole community to discuss it.

Gold gear was in the betas. I knew not to waste materials to upgrade purples. Majority of games use white/grey,blue,purple, and gold rarity colors. It wasnt hard to figure out that I needed to save up to upgrade the golds not purples.

Well ...

I invested my steel in the only things, I get my investment back.

Every time is use a non standard execution.

Gear is short lived and I stopped upgrading or buying it the moment, they announced a rebalancing.

I am sorry for everybody, who invested money into gear, to be competitive. Sadly, this game is not really competitive. The 5 free boxes were the biggest insult to injury though.
