First off I'd like to say, I love this game, but the direction its going I can't follow, literally, I tried but I just don't have the reaction speed to keep up any more.
I tried to stick in here and keep playing until changes came, but the changes keep making the game worse for me, I love the parry changes but the light spam, feint spam, hyper armor, is out of control and too many heroes have it now, constant damage and stuns from feats also is just absolutely killing this game for me.
I personally just don't have the reflexes for this game anymore with all these 400 ms lights and feinted lights, feint recovery is non existent, which is unrealistic coming from a heavy attack, a warrior hauls back and yells as he launches a powerful attack to cancel it a split second before it hits and is ready to launch an attack on the other side instantly and hits you less than half a second later... Come on. There's no commitment for any attack.
It used to be just a couple characters that had these fast lights, now it seems every character that is reworked or balanced gets 400 ms lights, its too much for me, I can't compete any more.
Hopefully the devs steer away from this course and put feint recovery into the game or stop adding super fast attacks to every hero, fix/scrap the annoying feats that win battles for people when they should lose. Fix Dominion so it isn't skirmish with capture points, every match is just gank squads now. Fix ranked mode rewards and ranking system so people actually play it.
Maybe after some major changes I'll be back, or maybe a fun PvAI mode would bring me back, I've been playing and writing here since the beta so it'll be weird not coming on the forums after tonight but I already deleted the game off my PS4, might be back in a few months if I don't get sucked into another game. Taker easy guys.

That's two or three (can't remember of the top of my head) prominent forum members leaving or lessening their time on the game, take a hint ubi. I agree but I'm not ready to give up just yet, at least until another game comes out that keeps my interests like this and d1 did. Also what is probably saving me is that I also play other games on the side and not just for honor, anyways hope you find another game that's less stressful.

That becouse the game is well balanced now!
Zerker was fine!- they broke him just like like like!
Light light light!
Skill based combat system!
Revenge was Op!
Now there r characters that deal 103 damage with one hit without Revenge and the game is Fine for most people!
Entire Community complain about light spam since release and they add more cancerous lightBrokenSpam!
Last hope was that ded servers would balance a lil bit the light spam but No! guess why these servers are not working just like the ded servers beta test!?
For honor devs are Ridicolous!
Even that Roman director spits on our faces telling he release broken characters on propose!

Sorry to see you go,you always have and always will be a welcome voice around these parts.
I kind of see where a lot of the changes have come from, people asked to break the defensive meta,speed up combat and bring the old guard up to the level of the DLC heroes which in fairness the devs have done. Seems maybe they have gone a little far in that and it will need rebalancing.
I am not certain myself where I stand on this as today was the first day I could go into 4v4 without a worry for a long time (and having fun, servers are working just fine here) I am going to have to meet the reworked characters there and in duel and figure my way around them but it does seem telling that it is reworking the old heroes that has been the straw that broke the camel's back for a few people(less understandable in why does kensei have uninterruptible because he always has had >.> but that is a different debate). Hopefully ubisoft can in future balance passes make changes that still positively benefit the game in improving the viability of characters without pushing it into a place where people feel they are not able to play any more,lights and unblockables seem to be what they need to look at there.

I completely understand where you’re coming from, as I’m in the same boat. I’m trying to hold out because I believe in what the game “could be,” but it moves further away from that with every update.
Sorry to see you go, and Ubisoft should be as well. You’re a valued member of the community.
Something ive noticed, though, is that a lot of the people that really wanted the changes we received don’t seem all too pleased with them now that we have them.
Hopefully Ubisoft takes note.
Either way, best of luck to you, and hopefully see you around.

Sad to see you go man. Gonna miss your presence on these forums, and was always a pleasure chatting with you on here. Wishing you all the best for your future endeavours. If you’re ever down under, beers and whisky is on me.
But, I can see why you leave. While I can counter and react just fine myself to these moves, it takes all the fun out of it for me. I’m over getting stun locked by 3 different unblockables at once, over the meme culture, over every fight with an Aramusha just been the same light spam. I was one of the people excited for the future changes, and while i like the parry changes, the reworks as a whole are dissapointing to me. Did Ubisoft not listen when the community said they didn’t want lightspam, before Aramusha and then again after? Why in the hell was Conq then given a infinite light combo? Even with dedicated servers out now, I can’t bring myself to play more than 5-10 games or even complete my orders. This game doesn’t draw me in to play it all day like it used too. Which is a damn shame, as it was one of the funnest games I have played in a long time.

Feelings mutual, and I might do just the same. I've been very much inactive on the forums as of late, as well. Just 2-3 posts these days. Had to log in today to give feedback to FredEx on dedicated servers. Been like since late December didn't touch PvP Dominion until yesterday night, went and played a few matches to test connectivity. I enjoyed the connectivity, didn't enjoy the matches themselves lol.Originally Posted by The_B0G_ Go to original post
These days been playing exclusively Test Your Metal, and when that vanishes after the event, I'll be just on duels and brawls, and these tend to get boring real quick if you're as unlucky as meeting players sporting toxic playstyles and attitudes every other match.
Hit me up on PSN if you ever feel like having some nice Custom Match duels, or if you can bring together a group of close buddies, we can play 4v4 in Custom Match. As long as I'm still playing the game, that is.
