It matters because data security matters. I'm not here talking about heroes and balance, and I even dropped the questions about hero and design influences. It's not conspiracy if I'm not making accusations. It's questions that Ubisoft can just quickly and officially address to put it to bed.The biggest and most glaring point that's not being pointed out here (as it likely was in his other threads) is why does it matter, and who the hell REALLY cares? If you honestly do believe this, then just stop playing, because obviously internal politics of video game designers means more to you than the actual game, itself.
This isn't the first time wild conspiracies have filtered into the forums, particularly in regards to new heroes. It happens every time, and every time the game continues to thrive in the general direction it's been going since launch. And honestly, at this point of you still feel like continuing this in the manner you have been, after the responses you've received, then yeah, you are trolling.
As for my playing? I stopped days ago. I'm still holding onto hope that the next WD will have everyone back and some answers, but if there's no answers again, I'll probably be gone completely.
But again, you dont' have to even be in this thread if it bothers you so much. Your decision to come in here and throw accusations of trolling around was exactly that....your decision. I didnt' jump into other people's threads and hijack them to talk about this. This was my thread that I created so that people could voluntarily come in here and have a discussion, in the least. So, in effect, YOU are the one trolling. Not me.

Yes, but is For Honor entering the Chinese market? If so, then the data protection questions apply. That's all I'm asking here.Quoting myself;
Your quarrel over user data privacy lies with the only Ubisoft game slated for launch in China; Rainbow Six Siege. For Honor at present has nothing to do with Chinese interests, as confirmed by a member of the Community team itself, and the sources i previously provided.

Umm...actually......Ubi hasn't said one way or the other about entering the Chinese market. If their other popular game is in there, it stands to reason that For Honor either is or plans to be, right? It's certainly enough to ask the question and get a definitive answer. Of course, if you have a link that gives an official answer from them about the subject, I'd love to see it.Doesn't matter. Rainbow Six Siege is, however, and they're doing it right now. Your question is not relevant whatsoever to For Honor, but they might be for Rainbow Six.

In consideration that they already have a Chinese business partner and servers in China for Siege, it would seem obvious that they would follow suit with For Honor. Yes, there is a chance that my use of the word "obvious" could be in error, but I'd think an official statement from Ubisoft as to whether they are or plan to be would settle much of this debate immediately.Ubi hasn't said one way or the other about entering the Chinese market.
It's obvious that Ubi is moving into the Chinese market.
Which one is it?

Okay, let's say they get everyone's data. What the hell will they do with it? They have more than two billion citizens, why should they take so much effort about collecting the data of a slovakian teen, a german history student or a canadian dentist, with the only common ground of playing the same game? They can run macros to find people actually interesting for them on google, facebook or whatever they want, monitoring through a game would result no profit. They might send commercials, but whatever, every western company, including Ubisoft, does that. And if they would take over the game, it would be a poor financial move to ruin it for all the western players.
Adding the chinese was totally logical, it hooks (well, traps) more people into the game (everyone is most hyped about their own ancestors, plus lots of kung fu films in the west), they have a very wide variety of weapons (having a more than 5000 year long history with lots of civil wars in a relatively unbroken cultural continuity helped them develop new weapons, I could arm two or three more chars with new weapons without looking them up).
What could they add, if they, let's say, add huns or mongols? They mostly used horse archers, their melee weapons were already featured (warlord, valkyrie, sabers would be the only addition). Muslim cultures? Well, yatagans, sabers, spears, gunpowder, and then you can have conspiracy theories about them. Indians? They probably have a similar variety of weapons as China- but name one! I can only name that weird wawy sword. Nobody recognizes them, we never got the amount of history movies from there we got from China. Aztecs? Obsidian swords, spears, clubs, warriors with jaguar head helmets (they would be awesome, but they have less variety and are less known). Hellens? Hoplites, maybe some olimpian boxing champion or pancrator, an amazon, and an assassin with a sword could work, but they used one type of melee weaponry: spear and shield, draw a sword if the spear broke, died if the shield lost. Romans could be expanded by adding a praetorian as a heavy, not much more. I don't say any of them would be boring or inferior, but Chinese warriors could yield the biggest variety for the least effort with the best financial evaluation, even here on the west, simply because they made themselves known through their filmography. It was an intelligent move choosing them.
Sorry to say this, but all this is just a pointless conspiracy theory.

Indians have a wide variety of weapons and most of them are well known. I would actually prefer them over the ChineseOriginally Posted by RolandVermund Go to original post

You know what? I just got an indication or two that questions are not welcome around here, and opinions that are not pretty and rosy of the game aren't as well. Mod, please close the thread. Don't worry, people. I'm done with the forums and the game. Feel free to speculate your collective butts off.
