    NDA on Tiandi & Shaolin Now That They're Public?

    Just wanted to ask an official Ubi source; has the NDA on Tiandi and Shaolin expired now that Youtubers have made these characters public? In other words: can those of us who played them in the tech test now talk about them as well?

    It would be a good thing to know certainly because there have been a few one sided views put out by the youtubers that no one can legally discuss or refute.

    This is a very good question.

    As far as i've understood No. Only the people who were given permission to record are allowed to talk about their experiences. I'm not sure if they're able to talk about the two reworks. But they can talk about and and show the tiandi/shaloin and breach mode. As i've heard they didn't pick random people to record it was more so said content creators approached the devs on what they wanted to do and record and the devs gave them the go ahead.

    From UbiJurassic on this post - https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...7#post13584877

    "The NDA still stands for all players during the test. However, certain content creators have expressed permission from Ubisoft to upload footage to their channels. If there's no watermark on the screen, then it's approved by us. Otherwise, it's a violation of NDA and should be reported to us."

    Participants in the Technical Test are still under NDA. As Knight_Raime said, certain content creators were given express permission to share footage from the test. You will know if a content creator was approved if their footage does not contain a watermark on the screen.

    The issue I have with this is that certain content creators are already getting an OP hate train started on the new characters and will be able to do so freely for three months.

    Obviously I read what I signed and respect it. but I feel that this could do far more harm than good.

    I definitely see your point of view on that. I'll certainly raise the concern up to the rest of the community team.

    I think with the release of these characters they should be allowed to comment of the exploits they have so as the devs can immediately fix them before releasing. Having a strong character on release is bad for ubisoft and it will infuriate the community like what happened to shaman. When shaman was released youtubers also commented on how OP she is and she isn't released yet. And when she was released the community hated it to the point that some players stopped playing for a while.

    Watching the breakdown on Tiandi he is way too good in comparison to current heroes. Unless we will have a Hero Revamp v2.0 right after Chinese faction release there seems to be no point in playing anything old.

    His forward dodge attack beats anything, literally anything opponent might try. It has no startup, no GB window and deflect on it. That light into 2nd light/palm is also broken is attempting to change guard stance will prevent dodge. Even PK 2nd light as 400ms with no other mixup is tough enough, Tiandi can mixup is just broken.

    I think I will wait and see what the PvE content will be like otherwise PvP will be something to avoid for a long time to go.
