So I participated in the open test for the past couple of days and would like to share my thoughts and feedback and I really hope that someone will read this.
Know first that I played the breach mode with 4 heroes only, 2 of them are my mains (centurion and kensei) and the other 2 are new characters (tiandi and jiang jun), but I played too many duels with the 4 wu-lin characters.

1- Breach Mode Feedback:
This section will be the smallest one, because I really think that the breach mode is actually great and it levels up the game dramatically, yet I have a concern is that all the commanders and guardians are wielding a broadsword, I checked this multiple times and I actually got confused when playing against viking guardian and commander but I saw it well against samurai guardian and commander, I wish that this issue is resolved before the launch as I believe it's easy to resolve and it would look silly if it came out like that.

2- New Voice Lines:
I tried so many characters that their voice lines has changed, and though I like the idea of responsive lines among characters, the quality is actually so BAD.
- Nobushi feels like she has 2 persons living in her vocal cords now, one appears when she speaks her Japanese lines, the other appears when she is grunting and it's actually a much softer one.
- Warden is just a joke, it really made me laugh to see how he speaks and say his "Miserum", his voice is very weak that actually the female voice has better and stronger voice than the male one.
- Highlander is actually good, this is unpopular, but I felt that his voice is more Scottish than the older one, the older one just showed that he is a big strong guy while Scottish and Irish voices- or at least the ones we hear in movie and other video games-are presented to us as sharp or high pitched sounds, yet I still believe the quality needs to be improved especially when he screams
- The voice lines in the executions should be back again instead of just annoying grunting and screaming.
- I believe that the new lies should be presented in the native languages, I personally has do much fun hearing lines in Latin, Icelandic and Japanese and was so excited to hear the new Mandarin lines.

3- New Perks System:
Before playing with my mains, I scavenged some gear in order to see the new perks system. First the new perks system plays an excellent role in balancing the whole roster and prevents many gear exploits to occur like increased attack and defense stats and increased revenge duration and occurrence, however I find the system pretty much complicated not only to calculate but also to get the right perks that suits your play style, also the perks system isn't fairly distributed, some heroes like centurion and gladiator get all the offensive perks (which I believe is good and fits their purpose so much) while others like tiandi and valkyrie get all the assist perks which I find it useful in breach and maybe tribute but will be quite useless in other modes like dominion and elimination. So what I think is that no hero should get all assist perks, instead it can get a mix between all 3 types or 2 types instead like aramusha and highlander. Also I think that it would be better if the player is given the option to customize his/her own perks if s/he unlocked it. For example if I got gear that has head hunter and fresh focus and I want to get the endurance perk, it would be better to give me the option to change fresh focus to endurance....the limitation here can be changing only one perk per gear and of course if the perk does exist for the character.

4- New Heroes Feedback:
- Tiandi: Pretty solid character but he needs a finisher whether a top unblockable heavy finisher like the rest of the vanguards, or a special attack that could be following his dragon kick like centurion's eagle talon attack or shaman's bite attack-don't know its name, sorry- because I see that the tiandi has so many moves in his moveset yet no finisher move at all and his dragon kick without any attack that follows it makes it pretty useless unless your enemy is near an edge, not to mention of course that all his perks are assist perks and won't make him stronger on his own.
- Jiang Jun: That gut is absolutely fine the way he is right now, yes most of his moves are slow and reactable but I guess they should be otherwise he would be a broken or and overpowered character.
- Shaolin: I don't know why this one has been nerfed, from what I saw in the closed test he was fine not weak and not overpowered, I found him pretty much balanced and fun to play with but now he has been nerfed and his attacks are now slower than before making him weak against high skill players, the only way to fix him is either revert that nerf or make his attacks slightly faster than they are right now, this way he can inflict less damage but more pressure on the opponent.
- Nuxia: In my opinion she is the worst hero in the new faction, her trap option is so hard to make and so weak against offensive characters, providing that many characters (mainly assassins) will be played on the offense because of the new perks system and the removal of the trade-offs, so I guess that a dps property should be added to her set just to increase her utility even more.
One last thing, I was wondering that there should be a common feat for the Wu-lin characters like the catapult for the knights and the aerial storm for the samurai, yet there feats are actually good and pretty new.
Thank you for allowing us to try this expansion and sorry if my feedback is pretty long one.
