Hello everyone!
We'll be performing maintenance today starting at 12pm EST/4pm UTC and ending at 12:30pm EST/4.30pm UTC in order to resolve some issues caused by yesterdays patch.
The downtime will last around 30 minutes on ALL platforms, and the following will be included:
VISUAL COLLECTION PRICE UPDATE
Thanks to your feedback, we discovered some issues and unintended high prices on Visual Collection.
- The Event Gear Flat fee was abnormally high and unintended
- Some typos were found on Refined Gear prices
- We also took this opportunity to look back at some prices after the community feedback and do some updates
- Reduced cost from the Event Gear fee from 750 steel to 300 steel on all Rarity levels
- Reduced costs of changing the look from Refined Gear Qualities 1 and 2 from 1000 steel to 500 steel
- Reduced costs of crafting a Refined Gear Quality 1 from 1000 steel to 650 steel
- Fixed an issue that was causing the refined gear upgrade costs to be higher than it was supposed to
General Reduction of the Visual Collection Fee costs: From 250 steel to 150 steel per rarity skipped.
Examples:
- Fee for going from Common weapon to Rare now costs 150 steel
- Fee for going from Common weapon to Heroic now costs 300 steel
- Fee for going from Common weapon to Epic now costs 450 steel (sum of all rarities above)
- Fee for going from Common weapon to Legendary now costs 900 (sum of all rarities above)
- Fee is still applied on top of the regular Change Look prices of the gear level.
Example: Applying a Common weapon look to a Rare weapon level 8 costs 150 steel (Fee) + the cost of upgrading a level 8 weapon (170) = 320 steel.
Developer Comments: While it comes with the design of the Visual Collection features to apply a fee when you do cross-rarity updated (because we still want to players to have an incentive to loot the visual at their current rarity), we have decided to reduce that fee based on community feedback. Thank you for your support!

Nice that you lowered the prices, but this would have been a great opportunity to have a use for salvage. Why does everything need to cost steel, while salvage is virtually useless?
Steel applies to everything.
Salvage: experience boost, which for the first time is reasonable, but additional times is a waste because the price goes up and the bonus does not.

It would be great to actually get some steel back after having to go through every piece of gear that had a double gem. Then having to spend 1000 steel on each peice to get it back to the way you wanted your character to look. Who TF comes up with this stuff like why couldn't you just let us take our lvl 30 gear that we already had a **** ton of steel into it, to lvl it to 30 and just add steel to get the extra gem instead of a whole new peice of gear. So it adds up way more then 1000 steel after everything is upgraded and had it's visuals changed back. It's an outrage starting to feel like destiny 2. Make it right, Ubisoft is a great company, For Honor is a great game but something needs to change

I agree, they should at the very minimum, when we dismantle gear and if we've used steel to max it out, give us some steel back and not just salvage. Even if it's just a partial steel.Originally Posted by LucifersSon56 Go to original post

I agree with you, if they want us to pour our money into this game they can come up with better ideas to say the least I mean even simple things like revenge aura colors or something similar hell even new material colors for armor or have gear where you can spend steel on that let's you choose what kind of spikes or stuff goes on it, it doesn't have to be a major difference but anything is better then going to base legendary tier weapons and armor all over again to get a little additional stats and max out the gear with all that steel. I'm sure if we knew they were going for that extra gem in equipment we wouldn't have spent all of it on the single gem armor and weapons we would have waited but they were like oh let's have the audacity to see who goes for this maybe we can sneak some steel from these suckers and they wont be any the wiser when we do it a second time!

Btw if you put in revenge aura colors and special parry clash colors etc I'd bet people would throw money at you like rain water I know I would. I would go ape **** if I pulled out an orochi deflect with customized effects on it looking flashy and all I wouldn't even be mad if it cost a ridiculous 10,000 steel it would be lit.
