    I got good character ideas, comment what you think.

    Well to start off, I think a samurai class using something like this
    https://www.google.com.au/search?q=cool+ancient+weapons&prmd=isvn&source=lnm %20s&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj-nfyqmeXUAhUFJZQKHURJB7gQ_AUICSgB&biw=360&bih=560#i mgdii=cY7VqPHzNtBiBM:&imgrc=2yzFIQ71CZ8YZM:

    Or like this

    Then for vikings like this https://www.google.com.au/search?q=a...0C9KSnsvf_XeM:

    Too be honest it's kinda hard to think of warriors if it's only vikings samurai and knights, what so you think of African warriors or Egyptians, or middle eastern?

    my comment... is like ever other character suggestion thread... this is a waste of time... ALL the characters are most likely already made and sitting on a digital shelf somewhere... now IF you wanna suggest them for a "For Honor 2" thats great, but for this game... I'm sorry but you are just wasting your time... lol.

    Really it's not like i expect there to be a for honor 2... but ubisoft might just do it bc they apparently do not understand the concept of embarassment...

    You might be right but I'm not convinced. Some dev team reps have responded to character threads like this one encouraging the good ideas and thanking people for their suggestions. If the future characters were all decided and there was no scope for any more characters after that I think the Ubi team members would have said as much.

    It might just be that the season release characters are set in stone. Perhaps after the final season they'll have a DLC pack or something featuring some new characters that might well be inspired by the community on threads like this one.



    My response to OP: I think the first two weapons are cool ideas. However, the first one is a chakram and as far as I know that's a throwing weapon. So you'd be running into all the issues of ranged combat not having a place in the melee of For Honor. Looking at the way they're shaped though it made me think of the female assassins (I'm not sure if they were Chinese or Japanese but I think they were Japanese) who used bladed fans as weapons. They would perhaps be a cool character to have join the samurai faction.

    The second set of weapons you suggested would be cool. I can see them fitting right in. I imagine it would be a samurai character with a throwing capability similar to the vikings, because of the way the weapons are used. They look like they were made for disarming, which isn't really a possibility in For Honor, but if you were to take the idea and apply it then you could have moves like tripping the opponent, a longer range guardbreak than most characters (maybe twice the distance) and maybe a unique parry riposte move like the lawbringer and centurion have.

    As for the battle axe though, I think it's pretty much hitting the middle ground between the raider and berserker. As such, I can't see it being all that unique and different.

    Developers say alot of things to "act nice" towards the community... and that doesnt give me any hope that they take character suggestions seriously, IF they don't have all the chars already made... then they would be spending thousands of dollars to get the animations for a game thats already "finished" So while you may be optimistic... lol I am not.

    It comes down to cost vs reward... there is no reward to still have character slots "unfilled" and waiting on ppl like the OP to give them ideas that will still cost them thousands upon thousands of dollars on a game post release.

    Maybe i'm wrong...but i very highly doubt that i am. Like i said Suggesting this kind of stuff at the possibility of a For Honor 2... Awesome... but for this For Honor... no.

    They get paid to act nice and calm the community. its their job, its not like the actual hero designers get into the forum and said "Yeah, this is a very nice design we will share it with our team"

    As someone already said they already did the other dlc heros and are just polishing them.

    In the words of a great man (actually an alien, fictional character and... its Yoda... there)

    "Polish they might, but broken they'll still be!"

    To end up in a pro note, regardless of what happens with these characters ideas, with some spins like animations, a viking wearing that ancient axe could be nice

    Love the ideas, guys! The team and myself love seeing hero idea threads! Even if we can't use the idea as it was suggested, it might inspire members of the team with new ideas of there own that form it into something unique.

    Year 2 DLC heroes are still in planing. This kind of stuff helps them.
