Alive? Debatable. It depends on what your definition of alive is. One thing for that is clear is that has been a negative correlation between with active players since release. The relationship between active players is inversely related to how long the game as been out. That's not a healthy state for any game.

I know what you mean. I was really upset when I saw that Skulls&Bones was from Ubisoft. Otherwise I would have already preordered if it were from anyone elseOriginally Posted by Bob__Gnarly Go to original post![]()
Unfortunately they will turn it into For Honor with ships.
The game shipped with more problems than it should have, most notably connection and balancing problems and not much has changed in that department due to these 2 pressing issues not being addressed quickly enough to prevent a considerable player exodus alarmingly early on in For Honor's life. Season 2 brought with it yet more balancing problems with the 2 new characters, which to the devs credit at least the Shinobi has been addressed.Originally Posted by GladiatorHood Go to original post
The defense meta is by now the most widely recognised problem in For Honor and the devs are well aware of the need to address it. So just saying "feint and git gud" is folly and simply shows how little you choose to acknowledge about the hard truths of the game.
Ubisoft has not done a great job so far. They had at least a year of betas to realise that rampant connection errors for a triple A priced title would not be tolerated by the majority of the community. Ubisoft are currently still playing catchup trying to steer this game through a rough storm they and they alone chose to set sail for. They have to take responsibility for this.
I still really enjoy the premise, originality and gameplay of For Honor when it lets me and I think the devs are incredibly talented, passionate and dedicated. But it is only through acknowledging and understanding the hard truths about For Honor that will allow the game to get better. And for that I have found no better summary than this video:
