I think it's time to give up on any more hero reworks. It aint happening. | Forums

The devs have stopped listening to the community. They have stopped putting effort into this game. They still haven't released the cent rework even though the testing grounds came out almost a year ago. I think it's time we just accept the facts that this game wont last another year. The game is a mess.

I guess they have a half-excuse for slow progress now that the COVID home-office thing is here (it's not easy), but not just hero reworks, I don't expect anything major to happen to this game. Ubisoft is a big company, and like many others, it is probably being led by people who don't have much in common with software (let alone game) development themselves, making decisions based on what brings in more money. I'm really sorry if you (the person reading this reply) are a Ubisoft employee, but as I look at not just For Honor, the game (that has had critical bugs like players randomly thrown out of matches without warnings or error messages on Alt-Tab, constant UI issues or people complaining about high pinged players having an advantage for ages - these have been around for a loooooong time) but its surroundings too (the official "Suggestions & Feedback" forum being a sinkhole with very few to no responses from anyone involved with the game - it's just us, players, discussing stuff), it looks like For Honor is not a project that is being seriously maintained. More like a secondary or tertiary one, sadly, something that is edging between being closed down for good and being maintained just so that players won't complain.

I do want to stress that this is strictly how I perceive the situation (having played 400+ hours myself, and like many others, I play other, non-AAA games, too; and I might be absolutely wrong), but looking at some games developed by significantly smaller companies and indie teams, I see a vastly different picture. These games are not just getting constant updates (technically, For Honor isn't an exception, but I find progress to be slow and not necessarily community-oriented), but they also have developers on the subreddit dedicated to the game actually responding to queries and forwarding feedback to other team members (and getting the response back to the community) - looking at you, Ghost Ship Games with Deep Rock Galactic. I cannot imagine how a company like Ubisoft couldn't do it. To me the only logical reason as to why this is not a thing with For Honor seems to be that this game has a really small (maybe increasingly smaller) developer team behind it (and/or the team is working on multiple games at once, maybe?) and the yearly copy-paste titles of the Assassin's Creed series (sorry fans) and such are simply higher up on the priority list with their $90 gold editions and season passes than a game that simply does not make a huge profit every single year (most of the stuff being unlockable by playing, now we got that half-ehh battle pass with its "rewards", of which many have complained about, possibly made to compensate for the zero after-purchase profit).

And the servers and support stuff and developers cost money blablabla.


If someone has more/official info to prove me wrong, please share it. This was not meant to be offensive towards anyone, I just wanted to share how I see things with the game.

I've said this many times but...

I predict:

For Honor is going next gen, which would have had been announced at E3 if it hadn't been cancelled. We'll see what "explore other options for a digital experience" means shortly. But I'm sure we'll see an announcement soon. I think they are saving stuff for that release. The more they can put in that package, the better it is for such a re-release.

For Honor is going next gen

But would that mean they'd finally fix all the menus and players getting kicked without warnings and high ping negatively affecting other players? I'd be really happy if they did, but I guess that would only happen if they launched a new game (call it For Honor 2), something that I'm not really sure how they would pull off (announce that this game lives until Q2 2021?), essentially requiring us to purchase the game again to "keep playing" - I don't think everyone would like that. To me, that just doesn't fit well with this year's plans and such - plans can change of course. I wouldn't suspect anything such radical though, more like the announcement of some new content for the next half of the year (next hero, maaaaybe info on the Cent rework etc.), which would less likely mean the fixing of the aforementioned problems :/

Also, now we know that the event is called Ubisoft Forward, and it will happen on 12th July (source).

If they would make a For Honor 2 then I guess it would most likely be like Overwatch 2.
