[Maintenance Alert] May 24th, 2018 (All Platforms) | Forums

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow, May 24th 2018, we will be performing a maintenance starting at 8h00 AM EDT / 12h00 PM UTC until 8h45 AM EDT / 12h45 PM UTC. There is an expected downtime of about 45 minutes. During this time we will update For Honor with the the following changes.

CAROUSEL OF DEATH

• [Improvement] Carousel of Death now allow players to join a game session during the “rematch” phase.
• [Improvement] Game sessions with less than 4 players are now disbanded and players are automatically sent back to Carousel of Death matchmaking.

Developer comment: This should reduce the amount of matches that remain active with a high number of bots. Making sessions disband when less than 4 players are left should also help prevent sessions with a low players count.

JOIN IN PROGRESS

• [Improvement] The matchmaking now search for the best player(s) to balance teams when filling game session open slots. Previously, we used each game session’s average player skill and average player total reputation levels as base join in progress parameters.
• [Bug] The matchmaking now reinitialize the join in progress relaxation parameters of each game sessions at the start of their “rematch” phases.

Developer comment: A problem we were seeing is that matchmaking for game sessions were degrading over time because of Join in Progress relaxation parameters not being reset over time. This update will help alleviate most of these issues and allow better match quality for everyone.

MATCHMAKING

• [Adjustment] Optimized relaxation parameters for every game modes in order to balance quality of match versus matchmaking times.

Developer comment: Following the update of last week to improve matchmaking quality over match making time, we noticed a bigger than expected increase in match making time. In our quest to find the perfect balance between game quality and match making time, we are updating the parameters again this week.

Ubi Shugoki wants to talk with you. He says he wants love and misses your tender rework patch. He says he forgives you for throwing him under the bus and making him a giant speed bump.
