Huge danger for the game, we have a solution, Moderators, Devs we need your assist | Forums

Dear Honor players, Respected Moderators,

this thread is one of the most important ones in the games history, it can be a bit longer, but definitely needs to look at by the forum moderators, the Dev team, and by fellow players.

For Honor has at the moment a monumental interest, because of the E3 reveal, plus giving the starter edition free on PC or with a big discount on consoles, Honor has the chance to raise the playerbase widely. But the offical launch for Marching Fire is on 16. October, that is 4! months from now, the game can lose all the positive attention what it owns now. Here are multiple reasons why it is not a good idea, to have the launch in October:

-Other AAA big games will launch at the exact same period, for instance: COD BO 4 October 12, Battlefield 5 October 19. and these are just the shooting games, lots of players will go for the total new games

-E3 hype, attention will die out long before the Marching Fire update, gaming hype is a strong thing, but it only lasts for 3, 4 weeks,(exept the tryhards, pro players) and the hype will cool down, now you have the gamers attention all over the world, use this

-It is summer time, one of the biggest potential for gaming time, because obviously younger players have summer holiday and can play a lot, players who are working, mostly have more freetime during the summer, your whole playerbase can play more Honor in summertime than in October, you need to build on this

- Humans are not patient, you just showcased a lot from 2 of your new heroes, we want to play them now, not 4 months later, it is a long time in modern gaming, when players cannot use their new favourite, they will go to other games, and they will wont be as hyped in October as now

-In the offical launch plan 4 heroes will join the battlefield at the same time, that is obviusly too much at one time, the players wont know which hero they should try first, because all of them are cool, gamers can’t focus to learn everything about one warrior, when you want to fight with the others too, 2 heroes on a launch would be perfect, as you did in the past effective

If Ubisoft does not act to eliminate these problems For Honor can lose it’s chance to evolve and get a much bigger playerbase on each platform, the newcomers of the Free game wont stay long, most of them wants to play with the new heroes, than they realize they have to wait more than a quarter year

Soltuion: if you can make the offical launch earlier before the other huge games come out do it, it is important. You have the E3 hype now, it will last only 3, 4 weeks maximum if the players know they have to wait until October, we hope that the Tiandi and the Shaolin are almost ready to launch, so you can launch them at the end of Season 6 as the Pre Marching Fire update, it is around middle of August, until that Ubisoft can figure out the Season Pass, and players will have plenty of time to buy it in order to get early acces to the premium content, this solution eliminates the second, third, fourth and fifth big problem that can cause serious damage to the game

You showcased basically most of the things about 2 brand new heroes, you have to understand, that players wont wait so long, they want it now, it is so in the modern world, you mentioned in the past Warriors Dens some surprises for the summer, they are obviously reworks tweaks, thats is good, but reworks wont be enough for the players after the E3, gamers are hyped about the new faction and heroes, try to reschedule, I think that you will finish way earlier with the content creating, than October, and you need only too finish the Tiandi, and the Shaolin, we have to use these heroes in the summertime for multiple reasons I wrote about, if you can do it this way For Honor will grow on every platform and will be better, that is our shared goal, players and Devs wants this. If you release the content earlier the playerbase will send you their best regards and will make nice threads tweets, about how good is For Honor, and the Honor Dev Team

This thread needs to be looked at a high level in the Dev team, an „I will send it to the team” wont be enough this time, we ask you Dear Moderators, let the Devs really speak and consider this important topic, it will save the game and helps it to evolve to the maximum potential what For Honor has.
Respected fellow Honor players, help this thread to get larger and together we can get this to the Devs table, let’s make an open discussion

Yeah, I highly doubt they're going to release the heroes early.

[Vakris_One]

Speak for yourself OP. Some of us have more attention span and patience than that of a spoiled kid/man child who wants their Christmas presents now, now, now! I'm happy to wait 4 months and I'm also pretty sure Ubi have other things planned for the summer seeing as how they have already said they do.

This thread is about how you feel and that's fine but you can only speak for yourself. If I were you I would drop all the "we" as you do not speak for the community as a whole and it just sounds very obnoxious of you to assume that you do.

He's totaly right
I think they have the caracters movement so
If they want they can realese them earlier and it can save the game.

The game doesn't need saving. It's in the best place it's ever been in its life. And yeah sure, release early. And the reworks? Screwing the old roster in favour of releasing new heroes because impatient kids and man children are whining on the forum is not a good look.

[CandleInTheDark]

First of all, on the Den they said the characters are in alpha state, releasing them early is not going to happen.

Secondly, we are not all so weak minded that having four options at once will make our heads explode, I know who I am playing and which of them I am playing first

Thirdly, I have seen these kind of threads several times, the first when season 2 dropped on the same date as Injustice 2, if it didn't kill us when the game had crippling disconnect issues, it sure as hell isn't going to now.

Dear Vakris_One, I never said that we dont need the reworks, we need them more now than ever because the new heroes will be strong, but on the summer hopefully there will be some reworks (like Warden) and we are happy about that, your answer was a little bit offensive, my friend it was really childish, you dont like when hundreds of players have other opinion than you? All my friends, my community and thousands of others are impatient for the new content but in a good way, not in a childish way, And For Honor needs more players, especially on PC, and for a bigger playerbase Ubisoft have to use the hype, which was built, on the summer we will have some surprises they said it (reworks, some tweaked game modes, dance of death) and maybe a surprise new characters.

My favourite forum member Candle, I said, that they should release the new heroes in August, not today, and your second point is offensive too, you know which is your favourite, but those who like to play each type of character at the same time it's a hard choice because all of the heroes are exciting. And for your third point, I have written 5 issues, not all of them are the same level as a danger for the game, one of the biggest from them is that the E3 hype can die in several weeks, if Ubi does not give us something cool.

We started an open discussion, everybody can share his (or her) thoughts but do it in a polite way, I did not say anything offensive about you guys , so just keep going.

[DrinkinMyStella]

what ever new games come out which I will get, I will always hop onto for honor, for honor has a place in my heart and I might love another game but will alway come back.

I guess I was a little sharp there but that's because you write as if you speak on behalf of thousands of other players which in all fairness sounds very off. I've never heard of you as someone famous or significant in the community and yet you claim you speak for "my community" and "thousands of others". I guess I'm just curious about why your default position is that of someone who can speak for thousands with any degree of accuracy - a feat which many countries top politicians cannot even master.

Can you enlighten me as to who you are in the community and why you are assuming that your personal opinion should be regarded as more significant than any other single person's opinion?

[GaelonD]

I totally agree with you Redditmember55,

the hype train is on, we need in the summer the reworks, and if its possible, two from the new warriors. He made some really true points, for instance on the summer I dont have university lessons, so I can play a lot more, and just a side question to Vakris and CandleintheDark, you made some harsh reactions, but why? I like the dudes ideas and agree with them, why were you so insulting? It is an open and friendly discussion, they can have their ideas, and you can have yours, we share the ideas and then maybe we can get a better idea which can help our favourite game.
