    For Ganking and Spamming

    Hello Everyone,

    I started playing the game this year due to obvious reasons allowing lots of time and I love it so far, having lots of fun. I wanted to share my experience as a new player hoping that would help integrating new players into the game or improving the game.

    The game name is For Honor, however I do not see any honor being promoted in the game. I name it For Ganking and Spamming at this stage and I think this is a problem. Revenge is nice to have against ganking but it is buggy most of the time in my experience and not that hard to counter by experienced gankers. Spamming light attacks - bashes- feints... it really frustrates me to fight someone spamming lights or feinting into many other moves that I have to be a fortune teller to make my move.

    Anyway, I wont be going into more detail. Maybe things are different in higher reps. But I hope things will get better in the world and in the game for all of us.

    Cheers.

    I remember when my friend got me into this game and he was obsessed with doing the whole 1v1 in a 2v2-4v4 nonsense. You are playing this gem for your teams honour, not your opponent. Honourable teamates don't watch their friends die just so the enemy can think good of them for letting a 1v1 happen. Killing your enemies is the only thing that brings honour in this game.

    Also yes, this game has a spam meta at low level and even medium level. You have to fight your enemy as if you are not paying attention to them yet you know their next move.

    The game has a very accurate name, and sets the players apart very well. Either you accept with dignity that you have to learn to not be bested again with the same strategy, and always try to bring out the most from the current game and help your team the most. Or you dishonour yourself by blaming everything on something else (ganking, spamming, turtling, hero pick, using a certain strategy). So yes, this game is indeed for honor.

    I agree with you I been playing this game for awhile and when I started playing it was more skill based and not so much ganking and the ridiculous light spam. The game style it self is actually really cool. You may not have the same problems but I know some of us also have issues with the trash server. Constant lag, getting kicked out, unresponsive in battle or even high ping players. I wish you luck that you actually can enjoy this game.

    I can't blame you for thinking this way especially since you are new, most new players have the same ideas. However you just need more experience in the game, if you are being spammed to death you only have yourself to blame if you cant predict and counter spam that is on you not your opponent. It also seems that you fall for a lot of feints, a lot of new players will try to parry every attack they see don't do that otherwise your opponent will just get free guardbreaks. As for ganking revenge isn't buggy you probably just don't know how it works as the game doesn't tell you but you only start to gain revenge once two people have tagged you in combat and if they wait long enough without hitting you their tag will wear off stopping any more revenge gain. Also 4v4 gamemodes are just that 4v4 not 1v1 x 4.

    I love how you keep defending the undefendable (great book however). You always act like everything in the game just works fine and you accuse other players to play "the wrong way". Fun fact: you defend what other players call "unfair" "unbalanced" "broken" because you like unfair, unbalanced and broken things. You exactly act like Trump who claims that everything but what he says is "fake news" and everyone but him is wrong, without bringing solid arguments to corroborate his statements or, at best, building theses on totally absurd and unlikely basis.

    How long does it take you to stop saying ******** and start thinking something concrete?

    Best regards

    Thanks for everyone their comments. However I cannot leave some negative replies unanswered.

    This kind of approach where people behave like they are the developers of the game and claim that everything is fine really bugs me. In every other good game, there is this kind of "small" community who will jump on everything and push the game developers to make some changes that will ruin the game. Many games have been spoiled due to such people.

    I dont think light spam or feint spam being a fight style OK for the game. It makes no good reference to the real fights and it brings noone joy. If you want to keep the game population healthy, nobody should defend the wrong mechanics in any game.

    These spams can be replaced by other mechanics which I am sure the developers will bring the best solution, not by the "pro gamer kids" in the forums hopefully. I just hope my feedback is well received by the developers.

    Best Regards,

    Is this post not hypocritical? You accuse him of being like Trump who blames everyone but himself and yet he is trying to make people not do that. Everything you have said here is subjective, not all players think it is unfair or unbalanced and yet you act like everyone does.

    Yeah it is. It is hypocritical as long as we ignore the fact that the guy I replied to ignored many logical basis I (and other people) have brought to his attention in other threads. But ye you are right, I didn't bring any solid arguments in favor of my thesis because I consider most of the people smart enough to understand how crazy is someone who admits there are some game mechanics that make the gameplay worse and claims "Anyone should learn how to deal with these annoying mechanics" instead of asking for updates that can make the game better and funnier.

    Well I've looked and for the life of me I can't find a single 'logical basis' you have mentioned in this thread if you could list them for me so I know what your thoughts on the game are that'd be great.As for me I'm perfectly content with the combat system although there are a few reworks I would like.
