Hy @ all...
Dont know how to explain, its hard for me but... ubisoft, i've Played this game since Beta, you've changed that much inside gameplay that its not possible to play it like 'the Good old times'
I am reputation 240-250 and my Main char was the lawbringer (70) but even the fights changed that much i am out of words.. After i switched many chars, my fun is gone already i am frustrated when i lose a simple fight against low rep dudes. Sometimes i think, i play that fu***n game since 3 years and that guy plays maybe 3 days.. After every Update i have to learn these chars from new
I am 34 years old an my reactions were not that quick anymore..
So my result after playin in the Last 2 days.. nothing is the same anymore.
Its time to say goodbye!

Yeah I just deleted the game, I played from beta but 4vs4 mode now is a ****ing joke, defence meta might be a thing in 1vs1 but in 4vs4 you have no defence, so many heroes just allow constant spam of attacks that stop you defending it's stupid, game is utter trash now, I'm not interested in playing 1v1 or 2vs2 and 4vs4 is broken.
I can absolutely see where you coming from. I am also the same age as you and play since the game launched. With the current changes it is much easier for newer players to pick a hero up and win against more seasoned players. It sometimes also annoys me to as there can be a lot of baseless rep shaming coming along with it. In order to avoid that just deactivate chat for a bit and try to have fun.Originally Posted by z0tLek Go to original post
Also, coming back after quite some time you need to give yourself some time to get into the game again. Position yourself in a challenger position (don't mind reps - acknowledge that some characters themselve are just dangerous and super easy to use effectively), stay friendly/polite to your surroundings and try to grow from your mistakes. You will eventually establish ways again how to deal with certain new issues.
Anyhow, the way you posted your displeasure was very nice and well reflected. Sad to see sb like that go. Perhaps you will come back some time and enjoy things more once again.
Take care
I feel the same way but for different reasons. I'm a rep 153 and played since launch. I'm mostly a PVE player, but ever since year 3 started and they reset the skill of everyone, I've been stuck with lvl 1 bots. I normally just play with a friend of mine and we enjoy a casual, light challenge experience. We really despise the PVP in this game. But the lvl 1s are so bad, and so boring, that it's ruined the game for us. We tried for months the get lvl 2 bots back and tried different ways to play the game but it's just not worth it. It's really sad and honestly, the most infuriating experience we've ever had with a game. It's been weeks now since we last played and I think we're ready to just quit. It doesn't seem like they'll ever change the PVAI.
I’m starting to think that it is a try to make people buy the Marching Fire pass....in arcade most of the bots are lvl2.Originally Posted by P_Force2000 Go to original post
I own the pass but it is true that I would like to have bots lvl2 in the regular modes like dominion, skirmish, Breach, etc.
They should give it a try and remove the bots lv1 for a week or two and wait for the community feedback.....
Oh yeah, I totally agree. I too have the pass and arcade used to be near unplayable. After the last changes they made, it became quite a bit better. However I'll still get into matches that puts me against multiple lvl 3 bots, and that just becomes impossible. But yeah, it's definitely not a substitute for regular modes like dominion, breach, or elimination. The lvl 1 bots are only for complete noobs, and become pointless after you get familiar with the game. That's a good idea, they should just remove them.
I'm exactly on the same boat, also been there since BETA.
I obviously went the smart way and the first thing I did when coming back was jump into the tutorial for each of my mains, only to find an overcomplicated system compared to what was in place 1/2 years ago.
The tutorial itself is far from clear on how to do combos too (it was so much easier to learn combos back in the day), feels like I'm trying to learn attacks on Mortal Kombat (and that is not a good thing).
I know how you feel, same age, playing on Xbox, and all they seem to be doing is making things faster and more spamming. Doesn't help that my main and secondary get very little love and still sit at the bottom of every balance they show in every category every season. (Warlord main, with valk secondary). Warlord they finally normalized his damage with the meta but that's all the help he got after season of nerfs. Valkyrie they took away all utility and mixups for a highly predictable light spam only... Makes me sad.
Only way i have enjoyed the game for a while now is PvAI. Then they tok that away when they reset the match making and everyone is level zero again with lvl 1 bots. oh and btw, they make you play pvp to up your status to get PvAI back to where you were before. It was a ridiculous decision to reset PvAI rankings but only score pvp to improve...
Im waiting for the new viking war hammer hero, will probably make or break my last interest in this game.... And judging by the last two new characters... I dont have high hopes.
I thought the BP and Hitokiri were pretty fun, even if they were a little simple. But I haven't been able to play with them nearly enough with the dumb bot issues. The more options the better, and with there always being multiple comments on any thread, forum, or reddit about the bot lvls, it would only work in Ubisofts favor to give us all the options we want, to let everyone play the way they want. It goes without saying, the more accessible your game is, the more people will play it.
So what you saying is they spit in the face of anyone who wants to play PVE.Originally Posted by Jastorm187 Go to original post
So compared to 1/2 years ago, the game is pretty much overhaul worse on top of more limited, that is an achievement only a company like Ubisoft could accomplish.
