Yes, another of these posts (Sorry!) Like 95% of the player base I have finally had enough of For Honor. While I love the concept and look of the game, there is just too much wrong with the game at present for it to be worth any more time or money. There is a lot of wasted potential IMO and I feel like Ubisoft are really missing a trick by not doing more to support this game and address the problems. I'll keep a watch from the sidelenes and should the following be addressed I would definitely stick around/return. Here are my reasons:
1) Frequent disconnects
As a triple A rated title it is completely unacceptable that so many matches end and rewards are lost due to the game crashing or losing connection. This wastes players time and effort. For such a big title 3 months after release to still have this problem is awful.
2) P2P connections
Opens the game up to lag exploits, causes glltches where you have killed or countered an opponent, then suddenly the teleport away or resurrect (No, they aren't shinobi or warlords :P ).
3) New characters
I do not feel like the new characters were suitably play tested. While they are alright in duel and brawl, they have completely ruined the 4 vs 4 game modes due to the unblockable spam of the Centurion and ranged shenanigans of the Shinobi.
4) A lack of interest by the developers
Despite the disconnection issues being complained about since the game was launched Ubisoft have failed to do anything to address this issue, beyond the threat of a punishment for quitting. This fundamental problem is not being addressed and more and more the game feels like a quick cash grab by Ubisoft rather than a title with a long term future or planned support and development.
Other minor niggles:
Revenge mode - Useless due to the recent nerf in 4 vs 4 and inexplicably in 1 vs 1. While it needed a nerf in 4 vs 4 it has gone too far the other way.
Constant rain of pointless new customisation options rather than addressing the core issues afflicting the game.
Lack of development of the single player campaign
Lack of gearless 4 vs 4 option
Threat of punishment for people quitting, despite terrible mm balance and mathmaking putting people into games that are already lost
