It was fun! I think the Snowball effect is priced too high however at 10k Steel. Its really worth 7k since its temporary. If they made it permanent, then 10k would be fine. Now to spend from my 75k steel...

It was an alright event. I liked the Halloween event much more though. The presentation was better and very iconic, the music for the Halloween event was just fantastic! The skeleton minions were also much cooler and it felt like more thought had been put into them. The ice minions only really had a different skin on them with no additional voice work done for them which made them feel kind of out of place. And the Otherworld Dominion mode with tougher minions was a much better designed mode than the ledge cheese fest on a timer mode. I thought the Frost Wind mode was very lackluster and not very fun to play.

On the pro side, the Samurai and Knight Frost Wind masks were really cool. Hopefully the Vikings get a worthy one eventually.

The Halloween event was probably a bit more on point.

Frost Wind was pretty fun nonetheless, but there's certainly room for improvement.

I'd like to see snow/blizzard effects added to all the maps in all game modes, 'tis winter after all. The ice Brawl map could do with some work, like make the ice patches smaller so you have more room to navigate, or try to cut your enemy off.
It'd also be a fun concept to explore for future maps, that it changes throughout a round.

Hopefully we'll get another Frost Wind festival next Christmas with a ton of new stuff and improvements made.

I agree, the Halloween event was better but not by much. They should have made all maps snowing all the time to make you feel like you were more a part of the event(could have made the halloween event all night maps). They should have made the event mode, ice brawlers, PvAi also and not just PvP. I don't play PvP due to lack of dedicated servers, so I did not play that mode at all. I probably still wouldn't have played it much anyway, cuz I'm not a duelist, and won't be until they balance everyone and there are no more freaking changes to gameplay and heroes. When I play PvP, it is 4v4 and this mode was not 4v4 so I would not have played due to only playing duelist, which I wont be until the game is more "polished". MAKE ALL MODES,EVEN EVENTS HAVE A PvAi OPTION!!!!!! I did like how they added the weapons to the event. I would like to see more of that at later events. Finally, they did a good job with the Mask Outfits for the Halloween event. They all had flames, the executions were consistent on where masks and effects appeared, and they all were different but not enough to call for a re-work. This event, not so much. The Knights were favored because they got wings and mask, Samurai got a mask on all the time(executions) and it was a cool mask with detail and multiple colors, while the viking mask barely resembles a buffalo that doesn't jive with Vikings, that doesnt appear on the hero during executions, no real detail in the mask, it only covers the face, while the other outfits cover full head. I just don't see how this got the green light after seeing the other mask outfits. Over all okay event, could have been better, but maybe next years event will heed these suggestions.

I agree with what most folks are saying about the event. The ability to get weapons actually had me using characters that I wouldn't normally use. A must if they continue that trend is increasing our inventory. I can't even keep all the Nobushi staffs because my inventory is too full. An increase to 90 or 100 would help. The Halloween event music was definitely a highlight and the added damage by the minions for the event was pretty cool addition and made you be less careless hacking away at Zone B!

Looking forward to what the For Honor team will bring in 2018! I don't mind getting my head handed to me as often as I do because the game is so much fun (when I'm not getting disconnected).

The event ended on the 4th dude. It ran without any issues as I recall.

The last day or two's server issues are very uncommon, and they affected a number of Ubisoft services and games, not just For Honor.

He is just talking about the known disconnect issues that haven't been fixed because dedicated servers are not implemented yet. Some people have better experiences with connecting than others, so there is no sure way to say it works because that might not be the case for him. With that said, we can all agree we need them dedicated servers as soon as possible so everyone can enjoy the events to their fullest.
