Hey,
First for the dev, I did,'t play since the marching fire expansion and the work done since is amazing ! The game is much more rich, thanks for that.
I would just like some info about the dev team, just had a quick look to the previous warriors den, and see we have a new speaker (nice humor). What about Roman & Damien ? Just wonder seeing the old crew going would mean the game is in it's last season or so.
Thanks for the info
I heard that Pope got another job internally quite some time already, Damien need family-time after his marriage and kinda left, too, and since then the "new" Warrior's Den, which doesn't even air weekly anymore, lost a lot of soul and sympathy on my side. Don't know why, but I don't like the new format and it's protagonists. Most of the time everything seems artifically staged, I don't feel the love for For Honor like in the old Warrior's Den, it just feels shallow and not funny, most of the time even cringy, it's simply a poor version of the old den.
For me personally the old Warriors Den with all its stars (Pope, Damien, Luc, Ramon, etc.) was a big part of my never ending symphathy for For Honor, because it gave the game a big part of the soul that I loved all over the years.. now this part is dead to me sadly.
R.I.P Warrior's Den
I feel exactly the opposite to this. I never cared for WD if it didn't have event presentation or balance changes announcement. With Pope and Damien gone, the game picked up speed. I was so tired of the former's useless memes and the latter's droning on how ''we've discussed this, and we're working on it'', without ever getting anything out. At least now there are more changes to the game happening at a faster pace, which is still pretty slow, but faster than before.Originally Posted by Hammelsneid Go to original post
To me it seems like those two were holding the game back. Glad they're gone.
Luc and Roman are still there, they just don't appear as often. They were both at E3 to present spectator mode.
Damien moved jobs awhile back but still works for Ubi. Roman still works on the game but hasn't done much showing up beyond the E3 this year. No explanation about it. I believe Luc (if he is who I think he is) won't be on the den anymore either as he's also changing jobs but still at Ubi. But to be fair neither him nor Pope were devs.
Luc is gone as of 3 days ago btw:Originally Posted by EvoX. Go to original post

Pope was never in charge of anything to do with the game's development. He was just the lead community manager. The pace of game balancing picking up speed has zero to do with Pope leaving. Damien was co-lead dev with Roman so that would be the more significant factor. Or not. It depends if they were always planning for a faster pace of updates at some point.
