Will developers take responsibility ? | Forums

For completely broken game in terms of connectivity?

Two year anniversary is approaching yet game is still frustrating when it comes to lag and overall connectivity experience is below any standard of any video game company , specially Ubisoft.

You made huge mistake starting For Honor without dedicated servers which has cost you a LOT in terms of game success and player base. It took you a year to try to fix it and come up with servers which in all honesty, don't feel like actual servers, are they? Whatever the case is, before implementation of your "servers" game would occasionally ( often actually ) kick players out or something else would happen along those lines. But in general, when it worked, everything seemed to be in sync when it comes to in game input such as blocking, parrying etc.

However, since "servers" were introduced, game feels glitchy and laggy. Like it doesn't register inputs like it is supposed to. From simple block, all the way to feats or even revenge activation. And yes, I tried multiple controllers. With speeding up gameplay it is becoming less and less possible to actually play the game the way it was designed to be played.

And now, after last update you were somehow able to create even more issues. Frames are dropping like flies and lagging is worse than ever. After I was able to catch couple of decent games, rest of the day was horrible. On multiple occasions I would execute someone up to 3 times without him dying. It is simply unacceptable that these things are happening almost two years into the game.

Is anyone actually taking responsibility for issues with the game? Developers should be accountable and if some people on your team are not able to fix the issues, they should be replaced with people who can. You are running a business and in every business, under performers should be replaced or moved to more simple tasks. Team who is in charge of connectivity and game optimization should really step up their game. You are working for triple A studio for God's sake.

Also, what is going on with sound in this game? There are so many sound related bugs that it drives me insane. Warlord still doesn't make sound when hitting someone, emotes sound is broken and worst everything, are you aware that minions still sound like demons from Halloween update? Too lazy to fix it between two Halloweens? Is there any explanation why it was never fixed?

Instead on wasting work hours on creating useless effects, salty emotes and disgusting looking gold and green weapon sets, why don't you actually fix important issues? Do developers even play the game in public matches with us poor peasants? Sometimes it seems that you only get aware of some obvious issues after we have to open 30 topics about it.

I am not sure if it is just someone's ego showing off, or it is laziness or even incompetence. But overall, I am very disappointed by your detachment (is that a word?) from reality of For Honor and all the issues we are dealing with as players.

I also do hope, that someone will step up, adress the community and take responsibility for what is going on. So far, your developers showed zero accountability for all the issues that almost have buried this game under the ground. If I was the higher up at Ubisoft, something would change with For Honor developers team, because mistakes already did cost Ubisoft a lot of money. Nothing personal.

Long story short:"
- Servers suck it's always Ubi never players' net.
- Sound bugs."( Btw I ear attacks as and against Warlord exept the headbutt's impact which plays the UB sound effect like any UB attack.)
"- Ubi your game is **** because it has bugs and I don't care about the slaving process fire your developpers if they don't fix fast enough.
- Ubi get your art team to debug because they surely know how to.
- Ubi take responsibility for your game's bugs"
Damn that's still long. That post was really thick. So much dumb rant

You make it sound like everyone has your problems with the Servers, which is not true. Stop posting in the name of "the community" because you are not entitled to talk for me at least.

Btw the Art- and Animation-Teams (doing new Emotes, Sets, etc.) are not the same guys who do the programming stuff or set up the dedicated Servers. Just FYI.

Not all off it is dumb. He does have a point about the minions in Dominion, they’ve been making the Halloween noises since Season 5 now. Servers have dropped in efficiency since Season 7, there’s been threads put up about it and moderator attention on said threads.

The rest of it was pretty dumb though. 7 months till Feb, 2nd year anniversary is approaching in a long time lol.

No issues on cennections etc. here.
I also do not suffer from bugs. At least I am not aware of any.

Nice game they have here. One year into it, and still is fun.

I have a full right to post in the name of community because I do play on PS4 and I see other players in game as well. We all struggle with connectivity issues after season 7. There are issues with frames dropping in menus, lag in game even when everyone has ping less than 50-60, multiple errors which result in everyone from session being kicked out ,there are sound bugs which are going on for months now and so forth.

So yes, I do speak in the name of ps4 community who struggles with issues mentioned above and according to number of topics we have just on this forum alone, issue is widespread AND acknowledged by Ubisoft. So instead of nitpicking and being smart@ss, you should realize that Ubisoft is a company and their product are video games. We are before everything else their costomers and we want product to work as it is supposed to. Asking for developers to take responsibility is completely normal and with failures this game had, don't you think it would be decent for someone to step up and at least writes a open letter to customers. You know, at least admit how your team screwed up and apologize. Set a deadline for fixing everything, at least try to make it look like you are aware of your mistakes.

And, yes. I know it is not the same team doing animations and sound or game optimization, but guess what? They are on payroll. If company is using man hours into something that isn't priority while never fixing real issues, that is pure mismanagement and it is not my problem or yours, it theirs.

I would really like to hear from developers working on sound, why minions still sound like demons, after all this time? Or why emotes sound sometimes work, sometimes doesn't. Or it is different from menu preview? Is that how triple A studio deals with issues?

Or why so many PS4 connection issues even after year and a half?, Someone corrected me about the life of game and since you guys always nitpicking instead of looking at real issue, I stand corrected.

As for length of my posts, I apologize but if you are not millennials or above, you will me able to get through. For everyone else, sorry for short attention span lol

Stopped reading at "full right to post in the name of the community". Just one thing I also read: "They are on payroll" concerning the guys who are not doing gameplay and optimization.

Your attitude is toxic. Your suggestions are toxic. Keep going, I will ignore you from now on.

Man why you always hating everybody for posting issues?

It’s very sensible thing to ask Devs take responsibility for the product. He is right to ask these questions.

When you buy a phone you want to it to work right? You are like I can’t hear the other person but it’s okay coz they gave a new theme for my phone.

Ubi is a company and FH is their product and Devs are their staff. They purpose it to make money and we are customer no matter what their product is.

It can be different teams who is doing animation whatever we don’t have to know it. We are customers.

All of his points are valid. Saying “oh but you don’t talk for me” is childish. We all know he doesn’t talk for the whole PS4 community literally.

Oh I also agree with his points.

- It's not OK to claim speaking for the whole community like he did.
- It's not OK to say "fire all your people because they are incompetent or lazy" like he did.
- It's not OK to state that everyone on PS4 has problems with the Servers when you don't have anything to back that up.

I'm not hating everybody for posting issues. I hate nobody, really. I just cannot confirm his Problems nor can I let him speak for me. And I definitely will not ignore the fact that he calls the Dev's lazy and incompetent and that they should get fired. So no, his points are NOT VALID.

And btw saying "I talk for everyone" without confirmation from everyone is some kind of delusion.

As I said ( and you pretty much ignored) , Ubisoft members here on forum already acknowledged issues with connectivity and frame rate dropping for PS4 after season 7 update. So yes, those are issues that affect community, or something isn't clear enough for you?

Also, minions in your game don't have demon voices from Halloween update? Emotes sounds work well? Give me a break.

It seems to me that you maybe have no idea how real business works or you don't have to work to pay for your bills( no offense ). Accountability has to exist in business and every company should stand behind its product or service. If employees can't meet the deadlines or deal with the issues, yes, there are only two possible reasons. Or they are not skilled enough and they need to be put on more simple tasks or they are being lazy and not doing their job. I didn't even insist that they should be replaced. I merely suggested that they should be held accountable for issues with this game which are happening for year and a half now. Someone should step up, explain the situation and offer solution to the problem with clear deadline .

I work in finance/analytics and used to be CPA for a while (still am but not actively taking customers ). What you think would happen if I was working tax return for Ubisoft and something is off, they are not happy? They shouldn't hurt my feelings and they should be quiet? No, no way. They would have call me and email me a nasty email and they would request explanation and I would have very limited time to fix the issue. If not, guess what? I am fired and they will find someone else to do the job.

So before you start with your own rant against me, think for a second about above-mentioned example and how that translates into current issues with the game. You can't convince me that sound team for example, is doing their job because if they were, they would have noticed sound issues with minions and they would have fixed it. Or would they ?
