What about this is Ubi being slow? They give freaking weekly content. What other game does that? Also they do cool stuff, like right now is Realistic Dominion 2.

Fady said it all already but I'll give my view on it as well.

The weekly content is nice and all but it's 99% cosmetic stuff like effects, emotes and outfits that require only a minumum of effort to code. It's simply adding more and more fluff for players to burn through that steel they grind so painfully slowly for so they can keep the steel microtransaction train going.

The only significant and worthwhile cosmetic content releases are executions and they only do those at the end of each Season, not each week. It doesn't really matter what other game does this or not as this actually isn't that much of an impressive feat to accomplish. I know an indie dev studio called Frontier that releases weekly cosmetic content in their store for their game called Elite Dangerous. For Honor isn't anything special or unique in this regard.

I would rather Ubi release quality content and significant updates such as new maps, new game modes, new story mode content and fighting mechanic updates like the parry changes every 3 to 4 months regularly rather than stocking up their microtransaction storefront every week.

Realistic Dominion is exactly the same game mode we've been playing since day one except that the UI is turned off and there's no gear stats or revives. And it's not even a permanent mode. Fady already explained it so I don't need to go in-depth as to how truly lazy this kind of thing is. I call it "content-substitute".

When the developers run out of ideas or are just being lazy they grab an already existing piece of content, tweak 2 or 3 parameters, maybe spend 10 minutes in Photoshop to change the block colours of the NPCs (if they're really feeling frisky) and then release it as "a brand NEW and exciting game mode!" But it's really the exact same game mode just with some custom parameters - back in the day when games weren't online only we could set up our own custom matches exactly like this. Remember the Golden Gun 1 shot kill mode in Goldeneye multiplayer? Fun times.

Ubi has been dragging its feet with the development of this game since its release and is still playing catch up to this day because of the botch job that was launching without dedicated servers. By now we should have had at least 3 brand new, never before seen game modes and Ranked modes that didn't still have "Beta" next to their names.

We should have gotten the parry changes half a year ago. Inventory space should have been increased by now. Lag compensation is AWOL with no word on a possible eta. No sign of when the arena and practice modes are coming. There are sound and graphical bugs that have been here since Season 3. Female Orochi still makes no sound when she taunts. We still cannot see what heroes our teammates have picked in 4v4s. The memory leak and having to close For Honor via Task Kill on PC is still not fixed, etc, etc...

I mean some of this is basic stuff that most games release a patch for within the first 2 weeks after an update. Where are the weekly bug fixes? Where are the weekly or fortnightly patches? Not being able to close the game properly on PC for a whole goddam month. From a triple A studio? That's just sad. What about any of this is an example of the developers acting with any kind of urgency to fix the issues? Instead we get 2 weeks of Warriors Den livestreams making no mention of when or if these things will be fixed but hey, we'll just watch some meme videos pulled from Reddit, gg.

Really cool idea.

Man this is too hard for devs. And why would they waste time with this while the game has really bad major issues?

Everything Fady just said left a bitter taste in my mouth. He hit it on the head of the nail. For Honor is in a constant never ending state of "could be". As in "oh just give it some time" or "anytime now the devs will actually turn this game around". At what point do we finally stop waiting for this game to get off its a** and at least get onto its knees.

The weapon disappearing bug has been in this game for what 3 seasons? The ladders are still buggy. Through this whole year we only recieved 1 new gamemode. The new servers havent done anything for me (but it has improved others). The "I am War" emote is still buggy and its been out for a month (for god sakes the sword still doesnt show up for pk).

Dominion is a spiraling chute of complete crap at this point its a matter of who packs more unblockables or HA in a group fight. Or who can throw the first bomb. And are the reworks going to take a whole year for the 12 original heros? Honeslty if the reworks are going to be a copy and paste of beserker or kensei I dont want them. But hey despite all these issues we still get weekly memes right?

EDIT: Oh look another known issue still hanging around. The forum spam!

I didn't say they should implement this right now. I'm fine if it comes out next year or something.

You talked garbage about Conq. You got no ideea how nerfed he got, if you cant dodge him you're plainly bad. His heavies are delayed he can barely land one and only when he throws someone in a wall. After running shield bash he cant land a heavy anymore, he cant punish too much, its difficult to play conq in higher ranks. His tools are little and limited, shield bash is what saves him a little but it can be easily dodged, it can be punished if you got the skills. They should buff him a little to be able to punish a lil more. Shield bash doesnt even drain stamina, they stripped him of what he had good and left him with only 2-3 tricks, and only one that is actually helpfull in higher ranks.

... What? I didn't say anything about conqueror. You probably got the wrong guy here.

They also responded to the Conq balance thread, so I think this was just an innocent mistake.

Anyhow, I love the idea of a pre-match hype session. I don't know about the technical feasibility of replacing pre-match loading with this idea, but it would be neat if possible.
