    Please Leave the Testing Grounds Open Until Changes are Ready for Launch

    I know this request isn't going to be granted but it would be great if the devs just left the TG fight system changes open for us to play until they are ready to put them into the live game. Leave it open for as long as it takes and keep adding tweaks to it. You'll get instant feedback on changes and you'll be giving players who dislike the very poor state of the live game a place to enjoy For Honor again. I know that I haven't enjoyed playing For Honor as much as this in over 2 years.

    I second this, After playing TG I found it more fun than the live game
    console btw yes I can parry and deflect however not saying I'm perfect
    at the game nobody is comes with experience overall anyways I like
    it because it gives you the player a chance to do something
    without being stared down so much for me an average player
    who has to go against high levels most of the time this TG is
    a blessing tbh.

    Yeah, make that three.

    I've been playing this game since launch, quite consistently (albeit a few times I've quit for a month or two).

    Overall, I'm rep 242, and yes I know rep means nothing, but I am where you'd expect someone to be after this much time playing. I am no GM, but I am good.

    Early For Honor was exciting, and fun, and was full of mind games. It had it's issues (constantly dropping from games and bs like free gb off parries) but it was in a better state than it is now, at least on console, connectivity issues aside.

    Year 2 was awesome due to connectivity improvements and fight mechanic updates while still retaining the original feel of the game. Now, however, the focus has been too much on more, more, more, instead of better, better, better.

    The TG feels a lot like the old days, yet it has all the new content. It feels a little more methodical, and less like blind luck. I feel more rewarded for actual plays and strategic thinking, as opposed to just, picking the right/wrong hero.

    Keep the TG open!!

    I 'fourth' this. TG should be a permanent feature with ongoing updates that would filter into the live game based on community feedback. Future TG updates would give us something to look forward to and would enforce a bridge of communication between the devs and the community which we always wanted.

    EDIT: If the community is given more time to get used to the changes, along with content creators and competitive members having more time dissect TG and educate the community on it, more might come around.

    I can only add my voice to this and would give a thousand thumbs up if I could. TG has made Dominion feel as fun as it did in February 2017, but a whole lot more challenging.
    This is literally the win-win-win situation many dreams of. We get to play a superior version of the game, and share out thoughts on upcoming tweaks and changes as they come. The players who dislike the changes can keep playing the Live version for as long as it exists. The dev team will get data and feedback on every change they make all the way up to release. They should consider doing a TG-q&a on the next WD as well so we'll all get to go back to those early days when communication between players and devs was working and productive.

    Keep TG open!

    It's closing soon?

    Please keep it open until they're implemented...

    I love the changes on pc. On console I'm still a bit hesitant, but with time I should get used to it.
