Mongolian hero has been revealed, what are we thinking?

>>1590514 (OP)
>female
I sleep

Looks cool and sexy but i predict she will be another blue orange mixup with 2 armor sets and 4 executions

>>1590514 (OP)
>>1590514 (OP)
>what are we thinking?
why are wo of the most recently cool hisorical warriors female only models? is lazy and bullshit.
I dont mind gender locks where i makes sense, and i prefer dual gender models, so why is this a fucking thing?
I sincerely despise ubishit

>>1591785
They've been doing 50/50 male/female since 2020. Ubisoft doesn't have the money for two models and voice actors anymore.

>>1592075
Not an excuse when they pump out slop that requires tons of work and manpower like events that never see the light of day again and slop effects no one uses. You're telling me upscaling a model a little bit, adding a male face, and removing the breast's is that fucking time intensive? Nigger please stop excusing these shithead devs/company's behavior. I bet these Jewish devs get payed close to 6 figures even when the company is dying while they sit on their ass and produce slop that took them a month of effort at best every 6 months.

>>1592389
They canned making new events a while ago, it's pretty much only reruns at this point. They would also have to adjust the model for every single piece of armor. I'm not making excuses for them I'm just saying that Ubisoft is dying and the plug getting pulled is just as likely as more heroes coming after Khatun.

Why are they allergic to actual changes?

played this game for the first time today and uninstalled it 2 hours later when the game decided to put me against prestiged players despite me not even knowing which characters i like yet let alone movesets.

>>1593292
There are character specific tutorials and you get prestiges pretty quickly in this game.

>>1590514 (OP)
bad design looks fun to play though

>>1593072
that sounds more interesting and also it would be nice to behead prancing little frenchmen in this game

sorry brevs, the gay nigger ate all the budget

I pledge to be as annoying as possible on Day 1 to get it all out of my system.

give it to me straight, its going to be another ninja with flicker flippy floppy moves

>full-deflect
I will love playing this and hate playing against this

>>1592912
The "alternate" armor is such an obvious way to just cut the amount of armor they have to make in half. It doesn't help that they've gotten lazier and lazier about it since warmonger.

she does NO FUCKING DAMAGE her base heavies are slow as fuck zzzzzzzz

Shes cool but actually sucks you and I am getting ass fucked by gryphons, orochis, shinobis, and Kyoshins fun!

is she a better aramusha

>>1590514 (OP)
Feels like the Heavy-est assassin, I guess like how Orochi is the Vanguard-est assassin and Raider, for a long time, was the Heavy-est Vanguard.

All in all though, I like her, she's got a very interesting moveset and while it's complex for my monkeybrain that's been trying to rep up Hito and Sohei, I think she's got potential.

>>1591785
>>1592075
Basically, I'm honestly surprised Year 9 was even confirmed with all the shit Ubisoft's been dealing with. I think this means, somehow, For Honor is currently one of the most profitable games they have. Which means, like FFXIV is to SE, the little money it does make is going to be siphoned off into worse productions.

>no pirate nerfs
it's insane that they've acknowledged she's overpowered and yet refuse to nerf her

bravo ubishit

>>1593044
pretty decent buff to Highlander's Celtic Curse
it was pretty easy to GB him before, making it even more worthless as a neutral opener

We're still here boys. Hopefully Y10 happens but if they stop releasing new content, I don't care as long as the servers stay up. For another few of years at least.

Shit taste desu

>>1598832
You gotta be a damn samurai rep because I almost never hear knight fans ever bitch about Black Prior, Lawbringer, or Warmonger. And I mean on both Reddit AND here. Now, my own picks or ideas would be:

Knights:
>Rework Gryphon, feats included, change lore and name, dump him into the Vikings as a vanguard. (also, remove his non-viking fashions and distribute them to appropriate heroes)
>Delete Warmonger, reallocate fashion and some of her moves to Warden (really just the side heavy and impale)
>Merge Black Prior and Centurion so we get a proper tower-shield roman.

Vikings:
>As mentioned above, a reworked and appropriately dressed Gryphon goes here now as a Vanguard
>Delete Varangarian, give fashion to new!Gryphon and Jorm
>Massively rework shaman, mostly in fashion and personality department.

Samurai:
>Yeah, delete Hito, merge aspects with Sohei because he's basically a conceptually cooler hito.
>Probably surprising but I'd probably delete Kyoshin and move his moves and fashion around the different Samurai
>Yeah, Shinobi does need a fix but I don't think reverting to ranged heavies are exactly the answer.

Wu Lin:
>No idea about rebalances, but for godsakes, just give them some new members. A double melon hammer heavy is right fucking there!

Outlanders (really just pirate):
>Pirate needs a big rework in concept and voicing to divorce her from being strictly a Cantonese pirate. Also I think made into an assassin.
>Give her fashion from all factions to represent the ubiquity of piracy
>english voice
>Also have all animations that involve using her pistol include dropping it and drawing a new one.

General change:
>Remove gender locking on all heroes. Except maybe Nuxia and Valkyrie since one is explicitly a 'woman warrior' the other is implicitly. Or maybe we just roll with it and then pretend it's trans representation for good boy points and who the fuck am I to tell players to limit their creativity?

>>1600698
I hate the knights, I really do but I only rep them for Centurion and Gladiator. Entire fanbase has always been reddit incarnate. I prefer the samurai yes. Shugoki shouldn't be a samurai either remove his fat ass from the game. My crack pot theory has always been orochi was always meant to be the samurai vanguard and kensei as the heavy.

>>1601092
Your theory isn’t exactly a theory. Back in early concept footage of the game, Orochi was called “The Oni” and it seemed like originally the samurai were not going to have a vanguard, or not have a heavy.

nobody should chain off of a whiffed bash
and furthermore nobody should have hyperarmor on attacks that chain off a whiffed bash
absolutely retarded

my 2.0 version of Highlander rework
Im trying to balance what I think is doable with what I actually want

first off nerfs
>kick is no longer hard feintable to neutral, but can still be feinted back to OS (don't ask me how this would work, but the kick feint blender is completely braindead)
>kick now has enough recovery that it is actually GB vulnerable
>heavy finishers are no longer 600ms (still don't understand why this is the case)
>remove the OS dodge attack recovery cancel shit because it's cringe Orochi / Pirate type cancer (I like the dodging out of certain startup recoveries, but dodging out of dodge attack recoveries is cheap and brainless)

now to address the lack of viable opening moves
>speed up both of the celtic curse side cancels to be 533ms and lower their damage accordingly
>give Highlander a 433ms forward dodge bash that uses a similar startup animation to Celtic Curse, except Highlander just punches the opponent with his left fist. this would gurantee no damage, but would fast flow to Offensive Stance, giving Highlander a way to open up the opponent into OS from neutral

changes to Kick / Grab
>the kick to grab soft feint now functions the same way as Warden, Warmonger, Centurion, and Hitokiri's charged bashes (meaning change the timing a bit and slap hyperarmor onto the grab if it's used from a soft feint)
the above change makes it an actually viable soft feint instead of a useless gimmick only usable for OOS punishing
>the grab now connects to any rolling opponent if your character's hand so much as gets near them STOP TRYING TO FUCKING ROLL AWAY FROM THIS MIXUP YOU LITTLE CHEAP NIGGER

offensive stance light attacks
>now only the top light attack is 400ms
>the left and right light attacks are now undodgeables (somewhere between 533ms to 600ms)

FIX THE BROKEN HYPERARMOR FRAMES ON HIS NEUTRAL HEAVIES
>still has 100ms of hyperarmor since the rework came out
kys fat pig JC

Nothing like a new character with her voice volume set to 400% for no reason and animations so jank that anyone playing her may as well be lagswitching

Why did they make lawbringer cancerous you fags got your wish he’s top tier dumb fucking reddit character

>>1598832
You can't have issues with Warmonger but think Warden is okay

Current Shinobi is the least cancerous the character has ever been only now its actually playable instead of being a broken mess of invunerability frames and disgusting offscreen ganks.

Kyoshin and Hitokiri are more oppressive than Shaman, Warmonger, Gryphon and Varangian because of their strong ganks and pressure tools in 4v4s. Kyoshin is also effectively just weaboo Black Prior

There is nothing wrong with any of the Wu Lin except Jiang Jun because of how fucky his vunerability frames are

You can't have problems with Gryphon if you don't have problems with Medjay, Medjay is disgusting in 4v4s, same with Ocelotl as both heroes have moves specifcally to gank with that pin you, reset your hit stun and don't reduce follow up damage.

>>1604105
Warmonger and Gryphon piss me off on a fundamental level of the worst case of reused assets ever

>>1604196
every hero released after Warmonger but before Afeera reuses assets.
>>1602998
Her voice is fine and she's mostly silent aside from her finisher. Her animations are fine, you're probably getting tripped up by the 400ms light soft feint and the 400ms tier 4 feat

Is Highlander broken? What the fuck is going on here, I absolutely rape the leaderboard every goddamn game. I'm a n00b, I shouldn't be that good.

>>1604583
Lots of characters in this game are effective noob stompers since they either have reaction checks or force you to make more complicated reads.

>>1604583
hes very strong in noob lobbies, and very strong in ultra high skill lobbies, but suffers in midwit territory
>braindead hyperarmor chaining for monkey IQ trading
>absurd inputs and tech that will give you arthritis that can melt the brains of even seasoned veterans
the only thing holding him back is his lack of a single viable opener

>>1604105
>Kyoshin is oppressive
>Kyoshin is a weaboo Black Prior.

Just to be clear, Kyoshin does have something that makes him “worse” than black prior or do you feel Black Prior is just as oppressive? Or are you one of the people who (yes, this happens) just feel anything is okay and fair if it’s a Knight hero but it’s wrong and gross in the hands of any other faction?

>>1604876
Kyoshin's basic moveset is 1 to 1's with Priors with only the zones being different, the key difference lies in how their full block stances work. But make no mistake both are oppresive but for different reasons. Prior is oppresive because counter prevents you from being able to freely use cleaving moves and because the unblockable heavy hits wide and further chains into follow up that can be recovery canceled into another UB heavy or the counter keeping the Prior relatively safe

Kyoshin is oppresive in ganks because every one of his fullblock options leads to a psuedo pin move via fujin cuts and because the top heavy is unblockable and has long range you can't really avoid the move too well if the Kyoshin is even slightly competant, they can just sit there in fullblock stance and hit you with any of the three options into fujin cuts every time you attempt offense, you need a team mate to peel for you.

>>1604925
I'm not gonna bother tallying everything up again, but BP is a "shonen protagonist" character
he gets everything he could ever want + the flip
theres maybe 2 mechanics he doesnt have access to
best perk choices in the game (heavy)
busted as hell feats (thanks for that awesome oathbreaker """nerf""" JC you stupid retard)

>>1604554
Gryphon can go suck dick

>schedule maintenance in the middle of a free trial week
It's a special kind of incompetence

What the fuck am I supposed to do as a character with no variable bash or undodgeable against whoremonger spamming her infinite i-frame dodge heavies in ganks?

Did they add Spartan yet?

>>1606163
no
never will
Ubisoft is done adding white people to the game UNLESS it's female gender locked
I'm actually surprised they released Sohei

>>1606202
Honestly, I kind of wish Kyoshin had been female instead myself. But that’s largely because of my personal headcanon.

>>1606202
it's kind of wild that they female genderlocked the Varangian Guard, a military unit that 100% never had a single woman in its ranks for its entire 500 year ihistory
but lol whatever dude haha don't get so upset chud it's just a video game
>Go woke go bro-- er, top the charts

>*This tweet was deleted by the Post Author

>>1606426
and that stock price hasn't even been hit by the release of Asscreed Shadows yet
WE CAN GO LOWER

>>1606202
Sohei is also a piece of shit that is a dlc character for once since Ubisoft hates the Japanese

>>1606426
I don't think For Honor has any impact on the stock price even if they started releasing all male heroes from now on
No one cares about For Honor

>>1606458
I know
but I wanted to poke fun at Ubisoft's rotting corpse
look at them
they're suffering
laugh at their misfortune as a result of their shitty practices

>>1604583
600ms armored heavies, work better that it should

Seriously I hate gryphon and warmonger they are why Ubisoft stock fell

>>1606556
I don’t understand how you hate them so much

>>1606556
I mean, I don't like them either but I'm pretty certain they're more like symptoms that trace back to the cause of the stock price falling, but not the cause.

>>1606453
>For once Ubisoft Hates the Japanese
You're joking right? As For Honor goes, Ubisoft has hated on the samurai basically for a long time now and always showered favor on the knights.

>>1606682
>Ubisoft has hated on the samurai basically for a long time now
do you mean that they never added new heroes to them?

I quit playing way back when afeera was new, has there been an MMR reset.
The problem was my MMR got so high that I only went against the 900 rep premades practicing their oneshot combos, and there is no way im not getting curbstomped if i start playing again

>>1608031
MMR reset was a once in a lifetime thing because of crossplay

The characters locked behind paywall are cancerous. It's pay2win.
There. I said it.

Warmonger players are all faggots remove this hero

>>1608657
2 weeks nigga

I've never paid a cent in for honor I got it free whenever they were doing that years ago. honestly I hate on the game a lot but I don't think I've ever gotten better value/$ spent in a game in the last 10 years

>>1608855
yeah
I've never met a warmonger player who I thought was trying to just be cool and have a good time

Kensei should be able to soft feint from all three directions, not just top. Makes him too easy to read.

>>1604836
>and very strong in ultra high skill lobbies,
I thought funny Scotsman struggled big time against people that actually knew what they were doing due to lmao no opener. Did they fix that?

I haven't played in a while but I'm feeling like hitting something with a hammer - did they make jorm fun already?

>>1610566
reminder that BP gets to softfeint bash from all three directions

>>1610647
Have you played since his rework? He's annoyingly strong.

>>1610702
He got a rework?

>>1610699
BP is the favourite child, that's to be expected

>>1611441
yeah a massive one over a year ago
>nut slam is now guranteed off a feintable in-chain bash
>hyperarmor zone that can be used for infinite chaining
>neutral bash is now a forward dodge bash with extra reach
he used to be one of the worst characters in the game and now he's a very comfortable A tier
I don't think he needs any nerfs or buffs

Is Mr. Incredibilis still trash?

>>1612280
no
and pugio is still an absurd ability even after the damage nerf
you can no longer double dodge his charged punch

another day
another match where a rep 80 pirate goes an entire match without dying

thread dying
see you guys next Warrior's Den

>>1612430
>you can no longer double dodge his charged punch
Damn, that's huge. What does he even need at this point? A feintable kick like Thighlander?

>>1620463
he has a feintable punch
his kick is faster than Highlander's and thus should remain unfeintable

The faction war map should be repurposed into something like tww3's immortal empires or battlefront's galactic conquest.

>>1622434
there's a lot of "should be"s with For Honor

>>1622636
Man, I wish they had expanded the story mode with chapters for the post-launch characters

list of things that would make For Honor better
>a revenge rework so that ganking is less brainless and revenge is a less cucked reward for surviving a gank
>remove the individual renown counter for each player, and instead have a teamwide renown counter so everyone unlocks their T1, T2, T3, and T4 feats at the same time (now you can do stuff that is super helpful to helping your team win the match, but might not reward you with a ton of renown)
>nerfing the Mary Sues
if they just did that the game would be way more fun

>>1624653
Who do you think needs nerfing?

>>1625995
Pirate
Varangian
Afeera

the three Mary Sues

>>1625995
There are certain characters who are currently OP in Dom, but really only as a function of how horrendously useless Revenge is and how easy ganking is
>Black Prior
>Nobushi
>Shaman (especially if played alongside a Nobushi)
there's others but those heroes come to mind first
>ummmm but Shaman is bad bro
I don't care what anyone says
guaranteeing a 35 damage revenge locking grab because your gank victim PARRIED an attack from your teammate is the most cancerous garbage

>>1590514 (OP)
I love my wife

>>1629458
Yikes

Warmongers side dodge should be a light parry, I know you can guard break it but one fuck up it’s over

Warmonger is plain bullshit you don’t like her lore it’s shit, her play style is pure cancer that’s it. She’s a shitty reused asset made op on purpose that’s it

>>1629640
the fact that her side dodge can be full feinted and used to parry dodge attacks or GB parry attempts is wild

>>1629646
I think she's cool. Warden should've been a male only hero

>>1630036
But Apollyon is a female Warden

>>1606202
>Ubisoft is done adding white people to the game UNLESS it's female gender locked
I accept your conditions.

I expect my Spartan on the desk by tomorrow.

Do you just get light parried so hard you quit? I was playing Dominion casually as aramusha and a 4 stack of orochis come and holy fuck there was this one who played passively like he was purposefully fishing for lights. He fucked parries 4 light attacks and I quit

It was like I was back in 2017 the dude wouldn’t attack he just waited for me

>>1630402
Yeah, she's like the evil version of male Warden. My point was that there's also a standard female Warden, which I don't like.

>>1632590
Literally a put the controller down moment if you face one of those kind of faggots

I'm thinking on playing this again, does this have cross progression and whens the next steam sale?

>>1634325
> Cross progression
haha
>steam sale
Check steam DB
It goes on sale for like $3 or something stupid like that pretty often

>>1634746
good thing I like the basic samurai and it looks like it goes on sale at least a month, probably along all the ubislop.

HOLY FUCK YOU INCOMPETENT FAT USELESS MOTHERFUCKER
HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO COLLECT A PAYCHECK

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

remember when they did a TG for a "revenge rework" a year ago?

sweats complained that it made ganking too hard

devs said they'd keep working on it

I don't think we're ever getting a revenge rework

>>1590514 (OP)
holy shit just let this game die

I swear, im quitting any and every game that has a shaolin

>>1640969
How do they even rework revenge? Make it easier to get? - you still arnt going to get revenge, when ganked by a stack or good players, that know how to gank. Against casuals who 90% play solo que, people are going to be getting revenge multiple times a fight, because retards dont care about anything other than 'hurr durr attack enemy'

>>1641794
the answer is built in stacking DR
if you get hit by anything from a 2nd opponent, while getting ganked, you gain DR
it makes it so you can actually live long enough to get revenge

>>1641898
That doesnt help against stacks or coordinated players. since they back off and feint spam, knowing not to feed or wailing to the tag to disappear. It just effects lower mmr brackets and also invalidates things like bastion and a ton of damage reduction feats

>>1642216
the anti-ganking and feats/perks would stack

and no it would still matter for even max level competitive ganks
there are optimal 100 to 0 ganks that would become invalid as a result, such as the Highlander infinite caber toss gank

I got to a point where I finally understood how to deal with your average Hitokiri player
>frequently throw out GBs if they're in neutral, because this will catch them trying to throw neutral heavies
now of course there's other stuff you can do but just reading their neutral heavies and GBing them is by far the biggest change you can make in your strategy. No other character is more incentivized to just throw out neutral heavies.

I used to fucking haaaaate fighting Hito, but once I started GBing them in neutral I started frequently having matches where I'd 100-0 one of them.

Also they're stupid and love to dodge attack. Punish them for it.

>>1649433
nah its still fucking bullshit
hyperarmor on everything
instant kill attacks
tracking attacks that just follow you even if you roll away

>>1650143
If you're getting hit by senbonzakura you might just suck.

>>1592389
This is one of the most stupid posts I've ever seen on this website. Yeah just slightly scale up the model so every fucking item starts to clip and looks like total shit, you are being fed slop if the developers are too lazy to give you shitty fucking clipping models instead of making a base that actually looks good and interacts well with cosmetic items. Un fucking real. And the fact that you think getting "payed" (LOL) close to 6 figures is being overpaid in software development when its the bare fucking minimum, and there isn't a chance in hell ubisoft devs get paid anywhere near that.

>>1656081
Slanderous says new outlander this year is a rapier duelist so we might be getting knights in the form of outlanders

Keep sucking shitty devs dicks. Yes they are over payed for the amount of work they do if they make six figures.

>we might get two early modern characters before one knight that looks like an actual knight in the medieval fighting game
This shit is so bleak man, every redditor that begged for the outlanders faction should be executed.

>>1657731
Yeah in hindsight who the fuck is an egyptian even for? Who the hell craves the class fantasy of being from a long dead, non-euro culture, that not even modern arabs feel any connection to. Who the fuck is medjay for?

oh right
we wuz kangs
that's why you cant even make him light skinned even though you can make a viking black as night

>over 20 matches played today
>rage quit out of every single one of them
I hate breach so fucking much

>>1657982
stop playing breach
>but muh quests for steel!
doesnt matter
the steel you gain is not worth the hair you lose playing it

>>1657515
>over payed
Don't you people have your own websites?
> The models would take less work
If only high quality 3d modeling was that easy.
>You aren't the intellectual juggernaut you think you are dumb nigger
0 chance you're white writing "payed" multiple times even after being called out for it. Fucking ESL shitskin who is also self-hating, very sad.

>>1657982
I shamelessly only play breach vs ai. I play every other mode against people but breach is for the bots.

>>1658051
1 spelling mistake, still whiter than you will ever be swarthoid. Yes it's easier to model a character than it is to model an entire event map that is never used again.

next Warrior's Den either has pirate nerfs, or the entire year is trash

>>1590514 (OP)
How is this game still alive? Not an insult but idk how people even get into it.

>>1660071
playing dress up with your barbarian, knight, samurai, or chink is fun

the combat is genuinely tight as fuck and it is PAINFUL that Ubishit holds a patent on it so nobody else is allowed to implement it

stockholm syndrome

>>1660217
Are they sexy

>>1660379
no not really
if you're wanting to coom-max then this isn't really the game
that isn't to say there isn't subtle sexy or cute elements to some of the girls
>Afeera is a slender Arabian dancer warrior and gets a belly dance emote where she shakes her ass
>Nobushi is great for anyone that likes pale faced Japanese geisha women. She also gets a helmet with cat ears if you really want to waifu max.
>Warmonger has evil dommy mommy step on my balls vibes
>female Raider is a musclebound woman with her tits tightly bound up in bandages
>female Shinobi is a cute dork that goes WEEEEEEEEE
>Nuxia is a chink ballerina if you're into teeny tiny bug women
>Valkyrie used to have an execution where the enemy grabs her tits and then she kills them for it (Ubisoft removed this because it was heckin sexist mmmkay sweety)
not a great offering, but it's something
if you're into waifu shit then Nobushi is a really easy recommend because she's also a solid character
great support character (gets Rising Dawn + Speed Revive) and a nightmarish ganker

>>1660379
Shaman is a hot retard

>Ubisoft changed the schedule of male -> female -> male -> etc.,so the next chink hero could be male
Repeat after me:
TOTAL UBISOFT BANKRUPTCY

WARRIOR'S DEN THIS THURSDAY

YEAR 9 REVEAL

EXPECT IT TO BE DOGSHIT
>yet another season with no nerfs to pirate

thats it, im never staying in a match with a raider or the fat fuck samurai asshole

>>1661359
Yellow fever sisters... not like this...

>>1655657
Man fuck outlanders and wu lin, this should have been vikings instead

>>1662488
The last viking we got was varangain. So fuck you.

>>1662273
>losing to raider of all characters
Im afraid this is a skill issue
his soft feint can only come from a single direction
easiest soft feint to read in the entire game
he's a genuinely middle of the pack high B / low A tier character

dying to shugoki is more understandable
fuck that guy
>never punished and follows up a whiffed bash with an instant hyperarmor heavy

TODAYS THE DAY

I CAN'T WAIT TO BE DISAPPOINTED

>female glad hero skin
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

fem locked hero
fem locked skin
fem locked game
fem locked general

>Calliope
Big ups, Ubi.

>Gladiators confirmed to be female sissies
what a devastating blow to toe sucking fags...

>>1663263
I mean, if we're being historical, gladiators would be seen as prostitutes and whores. Like, seriously, apparently both female gladiators were a thing (though it was considered scandalous, but for venue owners in a way that brings in crowds), and both male and female gladiators were viewed much like theatre actors as basically prostitutes selling their bodies for entertainment. (which, isn't entirely wrong)

Shit, now I'm just imagining Ancient Roman Megan Fox gladiator who obviously sucks as a fighter but everyone loves her tits and ass too much.

holy fucking shit that Berserker T3 is so annoying
just endless, brainless spam for 30s

Y9S1 patch notes

>>1663276
Aramusha

>>1663278
Pirate

>>1663278
Love the musha changes, definitely gonna start playing him again. They also kinda just fucked khatun over and made musha all around better.

Also 9 fashion slots FICKING FINALLY. I can use all the event/battlepass shit I have

The skin would've been not shit if it was male. 2v2v2, the tg, and the patch notes all look good to me. If the next skin is decent then this will be a pretty good nothingburger season.

>>1654041
>tease cross progression
>don't elaborate

My glad was already female but that skin looks fucking trash
whats with the fucking plume

>>1663282
>after all this time this is the only nerf
it's a good nerf, but she still needs to be basically gutted in order to be remotely balanced
she'll still be able to dodge out of the recovery of her followup grab
this is still fucking retarded

>>1663278
>giving Ring The Bell more range
of all the things to buff, RTB was not what needed buffing
Im afraid Aramusha is going to be annoyingly strong now, but we'll see

>>1663276
>infinite zone into zone into zone into zone
funny
>can now interchange light and heavy chains
good
getting souls should be easier now
>added GB vulnerability to zone
good

sohei got the most thought out changes of anyone today

>>1663271
They better tone that shit down after testing grounds

this doesn't make it out of testing grounds right

>>1663282
they need to start listing what the inputs are in the patch notes how the fuck am i supposed to remember wtf "Grand Cavalier" is

>>1664383
>more beserker bullshit
as if the fuck isnt broken enough, I just uninstalled today. probably for good

>>1665175
the devs obviously don't play the game
how they can look at Berserker and thing did T3 and T4 aren't horribly HORRIBLY overpowered is absurd
>JC says the T4 will encourage enemy players to back off and stop attacking you
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST
HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU
IT'S BERSERKER
THE CHARACTER WITH SOME OF THE BEST GAP CLOSING POTENTIAL IN THE GAME
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN
>Berserker pops T4
>try to roll away from his attack
>he leaps 30 feet in a single forward dodge attack and fucks you
JC you are the blackest gorilla nigger
you are less than human

>>1665244

*think those

>>1590514 (OP)
When they nerfed the lawbringer(8 years ago?) I never went back. Just like this thread really.

>>1668068
LB is a solid character right now.

>>1668068
Lawbringer is ridiculous now because reddit kept complaining that he wasn't good enough

>>1669125
>>1668068
good news retard
he has an infinite light bash chain now
hope you're happy, faggot

>>1606163
>Spartan
I have been checking on this game every 6 months or so for a decade waiting for this guy to show up.
Is Ubisoft actually "not allowed" to release him or wtf?

>>1673003
Greece holds the patent still

>>1673003
>>1673325
Spartans are gay
Rome is forever

I just played a bunch of 2v2v2 and I only won a couple of games where I personally killed everyone else. Couldn't get a single not retarded teammate.

god i fucking hate the new menu. no personality, nobody asked for it and nobody wanted it. rumor is, the UI team were told they needed to actually do something, or be fired. so instead of fixing shit like UI elements covering half the fucking screen in game. the dei hires did this, either because it was easy, or they have no clue how to actually fix the in game ui

>>1673670
Why not love both?
They certainly respected each other very much

>>1674670
>god i fucking hate the new menu
I like it, the old one was a relic from the past and made no sense

>>1675183
Because Rome is cooler

I have played a little over 100 hours (total) in the past two years, all of it is vs AI, just casually with friends after work etc.
I really do enjoy the combat mechanics, but I am quite casual and wouldn't know the tricks and glitches (and I really don't feel like going full meta study either).
So would going into PVP be more fun or frustrating?
I accidentally queued into PvP one time a year ago and this one Warden player was able to kill me and others with super fast slash moves (I assumed it was some kind of animation cancel trick) and I decided then I'd just stick with AI, but now my friends don't play FH and I haven't in a while either, so its either uninstall or try PvP a little.

So. Thoughts? Is it time for me to retire and move on (unless FH2 3) ever releases

>>1675287
Try pvp and brace yourself.

>>1675287
You should probably stick to PvE, but by all means give it a try

bump I guess

nobody gives a shit about the new year of FH
ass shadows is flopping
Ubisoft is going to sell off FH to China

>>1686605
Not happening. The French government premptively barred any foreign companies from buying out Ubi.

>>1686789
>The French government premptively barred any foreign companies from buying out Ubi.
extremely hilarious if true
let them languish and die off

I just like playing as the ninja

I don't even feel like playing
did the pirate nerf even remotely make her more tolerable to fight?

>>1693993
In ganks yeah, her strongest tool is her 700ms ub heavy from neutral now

>they said they're going to stop releasing individual unique feat packages
it's so fucking over bros
highlander is never getting his own unique feat set with feats that do different things depending on stance

>>1700581
Tell me this is bait.

what the fuck do you even do? just never quit?

>>1704350
>what the fuck do you even do?
play for style points
play for cool shit
give up on winning for winning
you're winning at a game that everyone else is too much of a sweating, cocksucking, Freeze-watching, fatherless motherfucker to ever even dream of playing

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
I am playing so that I can THROW IT BACK as Highlander, wiggling my perfect celtic booty, so that I can use that distracting ass scottish twerking to cause my opponent to just eat a neutral caber toss

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
I am sitting here, deploying my bear trap within melee distance, because I desperately want the RETARD in front of me to try to attack
you know why?
BECAUSE THE BEAR TRAP CAN BE USED TO FAST FLOW INTO OFFENSIVE STANCE
BOOM YOU HAVE NOW BEEN GRABBED OUT OF NOWHERE AND IVE THROW YOU BACKWARDS ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF THE BEAR TRAP
ooooooooh baby and then the heavy attack followup causes them to stagger backwards, drunkenly, INTO THE FUCKING BEAR TRAP
I JUST GOT 79 FUCKING DAMAGE OFF A HARD READ WITH THE BEAR TRAP YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER

despite the nerfs I AM STILL WAVEDASHING

we are NOT playing the same game
I am out here maxing out my devil may cry style meter

it's over

I have nothing to say

bump

We're BACK. (crossover skins SUCK)

I am new and horrible at parrying.
I've been maining Conqueror and having fun with him and his chained attacks, also his shield stance really carries me.
Which heroes besides Conq are easy to play?
Also playing Nobushi from time to time to troll 300 apm shitters with light attacks.

>buffed Nobushi
I understand that she's somewhat kinda underwhelming in duels, but holy shit she was already one of the top 3 gankers in the entire roster
she did not need her kick juiced up like this

>>1724760
>easy
Berserker
Orochi
Afeera
Pirate

just mash dodge attack like a retard and win

>>1725404
>>1724760
Berserker or Warlord would be your best choice if you just want something stupid and easy
>hyperarmor out the ass so you can just do whatever you want like a retard
with Warlord you have a fast neutral bash that doesnt incur a GB punish so you have reliable and safe neutral pressure
Warlord's full block is just as brainless as Conq's
Berserker has Peacekeeper's softfeints, except he gets hyperarmor that makes them extra super safe and brainless

if you can't do well as Berserker it just means you're irredeemably bad

>grinding dom on weekend for extra battle points for event effect
>having a terrible time getting fucked sideways by the game, teammates, 4 stacks
>reluctantly play again today still grinding for effect
>light parry enemies from neutral and chain

Why does FH do this to me. Fucks me over so hard for a few days I go to quit. Then after one good session, im back in and want to play more. Even though its going to start FUCKING ME again

>>1727753
the game is satisfying to play
it's just bogged down by a retarded 500 landwhale that sits on top of it

highlander is fun

Damn I just remembered that I'm a really good Orochi. It's been years

Someone sent me a mid match message to stop third partying and I felt really bed. I thought team fights were about teamwork, silly me.

>>1735864
"I'm a really good orochi"
yeah and I'm a really good orochi
my best friend is a really good orochi
my mom is a really good orochi
hell
I'd bet my dog would be a really good orochi too

my brother in Christ I genuinely think being unable to stomp as orochi would be a sign of a medically low IQ

>>1735868
Yeah lol.Oh well, I guess I'm just basic.

>>1735873
>>1735868
>deflect is one of the only ones that pins through hyperarmor
>dodge attack, which is not only a recovery cancel and undodgeable, but also has the same input as the deflect so people frequently perform the deflect by accident
>500ms zone
>Storm Rush is completely unreactable unless you learn to react the specific animations of each direction AND IT ONLY INCURS A REGULAR HEAVY PARRY IF IT DOES GET PARRIED
>fast neutral bash so you're never trapped in neutral (and even if the enemy reads your bash, you're allowed to dodge out of its recovery making it nearly 100% safe)
>access to an unblockable heavy finisher 50/50 (though it's not really a 50/50 because of recovery cancel bs) after landing a single light attack (the double light is a single move)
>even if you commit to the heavy attack you are allowed to dodge out of the recovery which means you can deflect dodge attacks made against you
I could go on, but he's still overtuned as shit after some minor nerfs
and he's been this way for years and years and years

oh and one more thing about Orochi
he has access to Executioner's Respite and Devourer (+50% HP healed off executions, +10 HP healed off executions)
he also has a 50 HP execution that kills in 1300ms (And Bow)
so before you can even count to 2, an Orochi has executed your teammate in the middle of a fight and gotten back 85 HP

>>1590514 (OP)
Can you play the game through Steam without it starting Uplay? I don't feel like updating it just for this one game when the whole company is going under.

>>1738268
I launch directly from steam

It starts some version of uplay, but I never have to interact with it

Just realised that the two next upcoming hero fests are for heroes who've already had their fests.
the fuck is going on?

>>1739714
>Warmonger and Pirate
sweet so the game will be significantly worse during these events
awesome
thanks Ubi

I dont understand how people can call Cent a bad or even middling character
this motherfucker is one of the best gankers in the entire game

>crashed at least once every day for the last week
>people randomly dropping out of games more than usual
how do you even do this?
how do you introduce crashes like this to a 9 year old game?

>for honour general
holy fuck it has been a while, I havent played since we still had a /vg/ general
How badly has the game been raped now? I stopped around jormangander I think, or baldy mcspin with how bad it got thanks to copypasted movesets, recycled anims and abandonment of mocap and ubi just not giving a fuck.

>>1746710
>How badly has the game been raped now?
eh
not too badly
the rape has more been in the form of the release of OP shitter characters that just RUIN the game is a remotely decent player is playing them
>I stopped around jormangander
hahahahahahaha
OH MAN you have missed a lot hahahahaha
fuck where do I even begin
>abandonment of mocap
they actually brought back mocap shit with recent heroes

to give you an idea of the current meta
it's the Mary Sue meta
all the best characters are RECENT female genderlocked characters with absurd movesets (though the Mongolian girl is pretty balanced and skillful)
>Pirate, a chink nonbinary tranny girl, who is so horrendously broken she's been banned from competitive tourneys since release (which has been 3+ years at this point)
>Afeera, an arab woman "knight", who is so horrendously broken she's been banned from competitive tourneys since release (which has been ~2 years at this point)
>Varangian, a bastardization of history by making the Varangian Guard hero a woman, who is so horrendously broken she's been banned from competitive tourneys since release (which has been about 8-12 months at this point)
they fucking dominate the meta
that isnt to say other characters can't shine, but holy shit
what do you even do in the face of... that

Pirate and Afeera are worse offenders than Varangian at this point

>>1746805
Homie
WHAT
>utterly busted meta of historical mashup slop tranny OCs
Holy fuck, so they did to for honour what they did to siege? just let the lunatics loose to add bizarre OCs that are the bestest and most powerful thing ever that eclipse everything before them and stand out like a sore thumb? fucking hell man, thanks for making sure I will never re-install

>>1746823
>thanks for making sure I will never re-install
you're welcome
by the way they still havent added a Spartan hero and probably never will
if they did add a Spartan I feel 100% certain they'd make it a woman genderlocked

oh hey
icing on the cake
that fat faggot JC announced a rework to ganking and revenge over a year ago
it got a SINGLE testing grounds after the announcement and the only mention since then was a tiny mention at the most recent Warrior's Den saying theyre still working on it

to give you an idea of how bad ganking is right now
if you just have a single friend in a discord call who knows the game, you are basically guaranteed a 90% winrate or more in casual dominion
there's a variety of hero combos for ganks that can take a victim from 100 health to 0 before they're able to get revenge after making a SINGLE mistake (going for a parry and getting GBd)

oh and Nobushi is able to apply bleed through revenge shield
she is actually able to apply more bleed than the entirety of any character's full health pool
so once revenge ends they just die from bleed
so youll get ganked by Nobu and Shaman, barely get revenge (after eating a bite + heavy for nearly half your health), and then just get cucked to death because Revenge is a fucking worthless mechanic

>>1746867
Amazing, all these years later and the devs are still miserable faggots that can't communicate or do anything, still stuck in their retarded ways and still fr*nch, now to top it off everything is a busted "woman" oc that has to be more powerful than the previous.
Guess I'll just play mordhau again to get my fill of old timey fightin' because for honour just seems like an even more miserable experience than when I left it.

>>1724760
Warlord, extremely simple and also has an allblock stance.

>constant disconnects
>rewards not loading
>game stuck in loading window and won't start
my fault for even caring in the first place

>>1753613
yeah

>>1753613
this has to be a regional server thing. the only issue that i get sometimes is rewards not loading, and thats only when they drop a new hero, or a big content patch

people pretending Conq is the worst hero and in desperate need of major buffs are fucking insane

one of the most tedious heroes to fight

>>1757889
He basically is. Conq was utterly gutted with his rework. Low damage, chain lights are parry bait, chain bash is reactable, side dodge bash is now GB venerable on whiff. You can literally just run away from Conq if you don't want to fight him and he cant do shit

>>1758642
he gets recovery cancels that enable option selects
hes able to just sit on the edge of fights in full block and cuck a gank victim varangian style
conq is not bad and Im sick of this shit take

>>1762290
damn that 13 damage fullblock counter, so menacing. every other fullblock hero does more damage than conq with their fullblock counter with the same recovery cancel options, except warlord with no recovery cancel

oh boy

yeah

yep
both of those 2 deaths are from me while antiganking her entire team

oh nevermind I need to stop complaining
I went 17 and 2 in the very next match
sometimes you roll
sometimes you get rolled
such is life

What's the state of warden? Thinking about playing again and he was my main

>>1765819
Warden seems pointless to play, yes there is good offense and its even a vortex if you keep guessing right on offense but he has no defensive option that can beat a feint+GB so your enemies unblockables and most other mixups are a 50/50.

>>1757889
He isnt terrible when you can hit people with target swapped heavies and yeah dodge bash characters can be tedious to fight.
But he is bad because you can always disengage from him, and he has some pretty bad feats.
There are much better characters who are harder/impossible to run away from and have better feats.

>>1766011
>But he is bad because you can always disengage from him
welcome to the fucking club

>>1766011
>pretty bad feats
bro your Shield Basher?
bro your Heal on Block?
bro your Pugno Mortis?
bro your Juggernaut?
bro your Uninterruptible Stance? on a character with an infinite unblockable heavy chain?

not to mention that Conq is a Heavy character that gets access to Bastion + Vengeful Barrier + BU / LS

or hell you could take Speed Revive T1 + Rising Dawn to be an annoying asshole that quickly revives dead allies to 75% HP

>>1766034
>bro your Shield Basher?
It IS good and makes conqueror more threatening, BUT there are characters who are more threatening without needing a passive tier 2.
>bro your Heal on Block?
Mediocre for a tier 3.
>bro your Pugno Mortis?
It can be extremely good but if you actually compare it to other tier 3 ranged feats like Longbow, Javelin, Neptunes Wrath and Pugio they are more damage, harder to avoid and have a shorter cooldown.
It even does less damage and has a longer cooldown than tier 2 Arrow Strike.
>bro your Juggernaut?
Juggernaut is good, but people can just disengage from Conqueror so its a lot better on heroes with chase down moves that counteract the slowness, and you shouldnt really pick it over Shield Basher anyway.
>bro your Uninterruptible Stance? on a character with an infinite unblockable heavy chain?
Honestly worse than Juggernaut which is a tier 2.
>But it doesnt slow you!
Doesnt make any difference in a lot of situations, with or without the slow anyone can disengage you.
Sure on paper its good but actually compare it to the other Tier 4s.
Fire Flask, Fear Itself, Igneus Ember, Corruption Blast, Reclaim the Land, Draconite Cleanser etc. etc.
>Conq is a Heavy character that gets access to Bastion + Vengeful Barrier + BU / LS
Better characters with better feats also have these.
>Speed Revive T1 + Rising Dawn
Again, theres better (and faster) characters who can do that.
Sure Conqueror is great... compared to Officers and Captains, but most heroes are better and faster and have better feats.

>>1766058
>It even does less damage and has a longer cooldown than tier 2 Arrow Strike.
the "tradeoff" is that pugno mortis is usable indoors while arrow strike is not

>>1766062
Of course, but in a lot of maps/objectives that wont even matter and im sure its quicker to actually strike.

>>1746867
>>1746823
>>1746805
I dont think Ive beaten this horse enough

Afeera has a NEUTRAL FEINTABLE bash (the kind of pressure that is otherwise exclusively reserved for chain finishers)

this means she can repeatedly just spam and feint the bash over and over again to force reactions out of people
she'll just hop up and down glowing orange while she mashes bash and feint
it looks retarded
it is retarded to play against
it is just pure trash

HERO PIRATE EPICLY OWNS CHUDS

toxic players DESTROYED and FUCKED TO DEATH by a CHAD pirate player
WHAT IS UP YOUTUBE YOUTUBE YOUTUBE
it's ya boi back at you again with more
PIRATE GAMEPLAY
and today we're playing PIRATE and then recording people when they get mad and butt hurt
little piss babies getting all mad because they can't beat a pirate
stupid CHUDS should just take it on the chin and turn the other ass cheek so I can have my way with them in peace
PIRATE DESTROYS BABIES IN PIRATE BRAWLS
if you dont want to be in my youtube video then maybe don't lose and get mad huh chuddy?

>>1773916
This is what drought seasons does to a man.

>>1773903
You forgot that she can chase people down from across the map with her lock on sprint into said bash and can feint the bash or any point of the sprint.

Hadnt played Lawbringer since whatever The Golden Age season was. Jumped on to grind some gear during the extra loot fest. Damn he is oppressive now with shove after any attack. I was using his forward dodge heavy roll catcher from neutral, and as a mix up. That was collecting people way more than I ever thought it would. I guess people dont expect it, or are expecting the dodge forward light. I was actually having fun.

>>1774219
>Damn he is oppressive now with shove after any attack
pretty much the only cancerous thing about him
but my god is it cancerous
his otherwise respectable kit is just insulted by this brainless spammable monkey move
>heheh shub

you should be completely immune to bashes and grabs while under the effects of Revenge

nobushi moment
unhitable
strongest ganker in the game

nobushi moment

>>1776688
>>1778185
How do you even come across so many Nobushis, I rarely ever see her

>>1778806
somewhat common pick in whatever elo Im in
a subtle pick for ultrasweats

if you're just solo and want to stomp then you'd probably pick Orochi or Afeera or Pirate

but if you're in a duo or a trio then having one, or even several Nobushis is absolutely menacing

you'll blink and all of a sudden you've got 40 bleed damage ticks and then you eat a 35 damage heavy (because Nobu gets something like 20% damage boost against bleeding targets)

a Nobushi + Shaman duo that knows what they're doing is a fuckin warcrime
>Nobu easily applies bleed and you can't hit her
>try to parry the Nobu
>by parrying it is now impossible to avoid getting bitten by her Shaman teammate
>eat 64 damage all at once, and probably a bit more from a followup light

a Nobu + Warmonger is also pretty nasty
>Warmonger gets a heavy parry and applies a ton of bleed
>as she applies the bleed you eat a boosted heavy from Nobu, taking 51 damage just because the warmonger parried a heavy
actually you can pump that further if the Nobu hits you before, or right as you get impaled by the Warmonger since for some reason the victim gets temporary hyperarmor

>>1778806
>>1778824
highly relevant video

https://youtu.be/7rELNAlPeOI?si=mFW2JyAn3q4-h3jq

nobushi's presence in a gank invalidates revenge

if you aren't focusing 100% on the nobu, you aren't going to survive once your revenge drops

roadmap

>>1781683
>pirate hero fest from June 5 to June 12
not going to touch the game until June 13 I guess

maybe at this week's WD we'll finally get some news on that revenge rework...

Does the game still require the retarded ubi launcher? I wanna return for my ranked fix after years of not playing.

>>1786825
you launch from steam
then it flashes some uplay loading image
then the game starts
but you don't actually have to interface with a 2nd launcher
just the uplay spyware running in the background

But why? Why do they love pirate so fucking much?

>>1796675
Kyoshin

>>1796682
Shaman

>>1796678
I woukd've said they can't nerf her because they're selling a skin for her, but I'm sure she would've gotten off the hook even if they didn't

>>1796678
that's not a slap on the wrist
that's a BUFF to pirate

>>1796828
Yeah I just re read it.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS GAME SUCKS

>>1796675
>>1796673
great changes

>>1796663
>glad's bashes that didn't even lead into any damage are now even more useless

>>1796828
yeah pirate definitely needed a minor buff
>JC said expliucitly that pirate doesnt need anymore nerfs
the audacity of this fat french nigger to say this shit while pirate is still banned from competitions for being horrendously OP

in this VERY fucking warrior's den JC said that he was aware of "double reads" when discussing one character, and yet the fact that pirate is FULL of double reads because of recovery cancels doesnt bother him in the slightest

Why can I hear Shugo moan from across the map now?

So is pirate just someone's obnoxious oc or is this another avenue of antagonistic french faggotry towards the players?
Zis is our game, oui? Not yours.
Much like the absurd nerfs for knights back in the day

>>1800972
JC's self insert
he wants to be heard

>>1802273
more like the Western white liberal's desperate need to insert a kaleidoscope diversity character at every opportunity
>ok so shes chinese
>but shes also a butch dyke
>and also shes trans or something
and then they feel compelled to make said characters more than viable, and often outright overpowered (all of the faggotiest characters in Apex consistently being the most overtuned is another example)
>we're EMPOWERING black trans single moms by giving them self inserts in our game and making them *OVERPOWERED*
and yeah as you said
>take zis chud gamers! we are goeen to make our new arabian warrior princess overpowered as le fuck
they think it's racist and homophobic to nerf their controversial DEI characters

errrmmmm actually the Varangian Guards were women
DEAL WITH IT CHUDDY

>>1803206
>(all of the faggotiest characters in Apex consistently being the most overtuned is another example)
Anon, they're all faggots.

>>1803247
not my chud king Caustic
he's just a chud that wants to gas minorities

yep
yeah
uhuh

also Dominion would be a way more fun experience if they made the following changes
>added a damage dealt column on the scoreboard
>made it so that everyone on the team unlocks feats at the same time, from a shared pool of renown (like in Heroes of the Storm)
theres times where the actions youre taking are guranteeing victory for your team, but they ultimately get you tiny amounts of renown
meanwhile the faggot that just occasionally throws a light attack during a gank will have huge renown

>it's another episode of the enemy team just deathballs around in the map in a group of 4, but can't hold any objectives to save their life

is this game still populated? how is it for a newfag to get into it now

>>1811644
>is this game still populated
yes
I almost always instantly get a Dominion match (primary 4v4 mode) and if not it's less than 15s
keep in mind this is NA servers
examine the steam charts to figure out where you land in the daily graph
>how is it for.a newfag
mmmmm not as bad as I originally thought
the campaign is unironically quite a lot of fun and gives you a nice intro to the basic mechanics, even if the actual multiplayer has long since evolved beyond the launch combat

all I can say is if you play the MP then PLEASE learn your character's moveset in the training arena BEFORE going into actual matches

this is a FIGHTING GAME and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
it's all about
>reading people and guessing what they're going to do
>reacting to enemy attacks
>playing dress up with your cool knight or samurai character or whatever

>>1812007
how do i go about the games dlcs and whatnot?

>>1812007
>this is a FIGHTING GAME and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
nah, you guys are your own thing, like smash bros, not that it's a bad thing but don't waste your energy mingling with us
t. tekchad

>>1812092
there is no actual DLC
it's all just character bundles and some very minor cosmetics

>dodge forward on light timing
lmao, this is so dumb.

>>1812658
not actual light timing
forward dodge lights have at least 200ms of dodge before you can input the light so they're more like 700ms
can still be hard to react to because of animations or whatever

>>1813903
I'm talking about the testing grounds deflect change, omni deflect on forward dodge trivializes soft feints and all 500ms attacks its fucking amazing.

>>1812250
Ok, why is the game mixed reviews rn

>>1813995
Oh that? Yeah that was such a retarded idea I didn't even bother testing it.

>>1814566
Because the people that play it are eternally angry at Ubisoft, God, and themselves. They hate this game, but they also love this game. Go look at the hours played on some of those negative reviews.
>STUPID FUCKING NIGGER GAME UNBALANCED TRASH fuck the dev team stupid fucking retards SHIT GAME
>1200 hours at time of review
>1600 hours on record

You should know going in that the multiplayer is NOT perfectly balanced and some characters will be easier to pick up and play than others. When you try to play a character you just unlocked and then get dick flattened by some sweaty asshole, you might even be tempted to go leave a negative review.

Here's the facts
>this game is like 10 years old and has virtually zero technical issues outside the rare bug that gets put in a new patch
>99% of the cosmetics don't require you to spend real money
>most of the cast will need to slowly be unlocked as you play the game and earn the main currency
>there is no other game like it, and the closest comparison I can make are fighting games
buy it on sale if you feel like trying it
should be like 4 bucks or something during the summer sale

for the record I have 1700 hours and probably have a negative review up

>>1815146
>>1815141
4000 hours here gonna second what the other Anon said, I left a salty review when Medjey came out that I have yet to change(I jokingly marked it as positive). I enjoy the game because its unique and there's lots of little aspects that are cool like the voice work and range of languages spoken by heroes but sometimes you encounter shit that makes you fucking scream. No other game does this to me and I play shooters and TCGs, my hatred for this game fluctuates wildly but I can never leave because I also love this game.

>>1815150

Yeeeessss look at this shit

oh this is gonna be fucking awful
no chance in hell this isnt a 4 stack

it was in fact a 4 stack
teabagging the whole time

Nobushi is the strongest ganking character in the game and Nobushi + Shaman is the strongest ganking combo

also organized ganking is completely broken in general
Revenge is the most worthless mechanic in the game
there is NOTHING a solo player can do against a 4 stack that are actually talking to each other in a discord call

That stamina nerf is so fucking ass for Glad

I just had For Honor crash in a way I've never seen before. Not stuttering, no freezing, no nothing. It just suddenly closed, instantly. For Honor wasn't showing up in Task Manager. When I tried to "stop" it in steam, that caused Steam to shit the bed and I had to relaunch steam just so that it would let me relaunch the game. No crash report either.

>>1833068
the spaghetti code is starting to build up. every time I want to start the game I have to close their launcher and relaunch. now, midway through games their shitty launcher forcibly opens browser tabs

>>1833382
yesterday I had uplay tab me out
then later during the same match it started blasting some advertisement at max volume, completely unprompted

I genuinely hope ubisoft gets destroyed and is forced to sell off all their IPs

>>1814566
>>1815146
>>1815150
I haven't really played this game much since Chinese came out (which was 7 years ago, Christ) because new heroes look like shit and many of them were built exclusively around one shitty gimmick, though the last part may have changed. I think the game suffered a drop in quality and visual cohesion, although in exchange of actually sane timings on attacks.
It's still one of my fondest memories and I still drop by to check it out. The combat system is honestly genius translation of usual fighting game mechanics into 3D space, though at times the movesets are made by people sniffing glue, and majority of it's systems and monetization is a relic of Ubisoft's past when they weren't fully retarded, there's not even a premium currency - real money purchases like battle passes and paid skins were added halfway through the game's life and I feel they ruin the argument somewhat but most of that shit looks ass anyway.
At least some of the game's soul was ripped out along the way like minion kill animations and even the characters speaking in their own languages was neutered at some point because it was too expensive/impossible to rehire the same voice actors to do them, but it was also downright the most detailed game Ubisoft ever put out.
I would wholeheartedly recommend people try the game, especially it's half free every other sale, but the only thing that could really make it truly fulfill it's potential at this point is Ubisoft dying, releasing the patents behind the game and someone else doing it right this time.

>>1833830
>and even the characters speaking in their own languages was neutered at some point because it was too expensive/impossible to rehire the same voice actors to do them
This is only true for some of the base cast since they're voiced by big name VAs, the vast majority are either small time so have no issue comming back, like all of the Vikings even berserker because only enemy zerk was voiced by Stefan, or work for Ubi directly like the guy who does the voice for Conqueror and Male Hitokiri. The attempt at getting new VAs for some of the knights for the RDS wasn't taken well because they were shit

hello I hate orochi players

>>1838435
I will never not hate orichi. He was so overtuned for so long (still is) and the type of people that play him are scum of the earth. When storm rush got nerfed, I went from seeing 1-2 per match to 1 every 5, showing most people played him because he was blatantly OP

>>1838495
two changes would massively reduce how much I hate that faggot
>separate his side dodge attack and deflect into different dodges (side dodge light and side dodge heavy)
>remove the retarded hidden indicator shit from Storm Rush
OR ALTERNATIVELY
>make storm rush a light parry

Guys I'm a fucking noob but my rep is 79 how do I not disappoint my team while I fall for the same GB feint 56 times in a row?

>>1841472
nvm I got the trick i just need to play more

>>1841491
>>1841472
Remember to dick around with various characters in the training mode so you understand their movesets. Knowing how a stupid faggot pirate thinks begins with knowing how that stupid shitty character works.

bump

I fucking hate full block characters
good luck anti ganking while a warlord or kyoshin just sit in full block next to you

captch
DORK x

Spear fighter when?

>>1796675
does this make it harder to gb him after he whiffs?

>>1859023
technically yes, but now it's actually possible to GB
it was literally impossible before because the followup chained heavy nullified the GB invulnerability frames

>>1858792
Valkyrie
Nobushi

>>1854485
zone attacks aren't interrupted by superior block (full block) so depending on the hero you play, you can punish them. fucking hard to do in a baby sit gank but very useful info to know

>cent can zone, feint, parry the follow-up
>orochi, zhanhu can zone then dodge recovery
>ocelotl can chain zone into hyper armor zone
>sohei can zone, zone as well because hyper armor
probably more but they are the ones i can think of off top of my head

Next hero got leaked

>>1862042

>>1862044
This armor being on a female locked character feels like a monkey's paw

>>1862042
>>1862044
>>1862047
i really like the look of this
but it's 5 years too late
now we just need the standard bearer knight

>>1811644
get chiv 2 if you want a casual fun medieval slasher, get a fighting game if you want a fighting game. For honor is the worst of both worlds with zero appeal for anyone, literally everyone hates this game

>>1863209
For Goner fag...

>>1862044
>genderlocked female
into the fucking trash it goes

if you're dogshit you'd probably really enjoy warlord and berserker

>>1863886
Pirate is the retard proof character

>>1863209
for honor fulfills a third very specific niche of being a fighting game lite that me and 3 fighting games friends can all be on the same team on

>>1862042
>>1862044
>>1862047
>exactly what I was waiting for
>but it's female only
We just got Khatun too, what's up with that?

>>1864706
If it's any consolation it means the chink coming in January is a man

>>1864706
ubisof pandering the chinks, they just broke the cicle of male-female

>>1862044
please for the sake of all things in the world don't speak plain english or any english at all
Maybe french is fine

>>1858792
>>1864905
Chink in January will have a spear.

>>1865953
She will speak Spanish and you will like it

Is Varangian Guard OP? Took a many year break and been back for a few days and half my lobbies are Varangian Guards and the people complaining about them

>>1867495
They have good space control in ganks because of their all guard stance which puts you in a "unique" recoil when you hit it. The actual moveset itself is fine if a bit weak when it comes to openers.

What's the point in jormungandr now that stamina and exhaustion don't really meant shit, is he just fucked?

>>1867506
They changed his moveset to focus on displacement and knockdowns long ago Anon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80ZYVj61m5M

>>1867526
She's is cute but her being the only character in the entire game that has an expressive face also freaks me out a bit.

>>1867506
>>1867511
Cent and glad are the ones that really got raped by that change

>Reject knight
FUCKING HELL

>>1867690
She's the first worthwhile knight added to the game since 2019, even if not on paper.
>>>/v/716241958
Vee thread, maybe it won't get sent straight to the archives.

>>1867923
She's not a knight, she's a knight reject which is why she speaks Italiano instead of latin.

>>1867923
>>>/v/716241958
definitely not a landsknecht
but a landsknecht doppelsoldner hero would be very cool
i am a bit disappointed she's not a knight though, and i think the outlanders were dumb a mistake

>>1867495
her full block is basically Aramusha's, but better
her feats are super strong and basically jerk you off for just using your full block
she used to be far more oppressive before they nerfed her hitboxes
it used to be that if you dodged her unblockable side heavies, you would just get hit anyway so you HAD to parry
the nerfs shes received to her crushing counters have also made her less awful to fight
still pretty strong against people who know when to use her full block

oh and shes an oppressive ganker because she just completely shuts down anyone that so much as touches her

>>1867963
>>1867923
>>1867690
Gryphon thematically is most deserving of being an Outlander of anyone
this new hero SHOULD be a Knight
Warmonger is also eligible for being moved over

How do I get myself a warmonger wife?

>110GB install
I get the urge to play every few years.
Wish I could hop in and play a few matches when I want without installing 10 years of slop effects that I will never use and would rather not see on others.

>>1868720
There is the option to disable them. It's too bad that they mostly lost the ability to make good looking ones so early on.

her stance system confuses my unga bunga brain

>>1869270
>block on heavy start
>that damage
now i feel old

>fencer finally
>it's someone's sassy oc waifu or worse, self insert

>>1869629
Yes and?

so how's the new bitch? is she worth returning for and throwing some money at for fun?

>Wait for year 10 hype to release the spartan
>Game is scheduled to shutdown after year 10
What do they mean by this?

wtf bros I love Virtuosa

actual patch notes
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/for-honor/news-updates/3mTCXB1IYJZV6tbN1DL0Dp/patch-notes-2610

fuck you for just rambling about the ganking changes for 15 minutes with zero slides JC

basically they have signficiantly nerfed the damage you receive if a group of people are just wailing on you

>>1869882
Stance character that needs a wee bit of a brain to play, auto dodge stances are strong provided you know how to stuff gb attempts.

wait can this bitch not gb out of her stances

the new hero is the most horrifically OP shit I've seen in a like 5 years
cannot be hit
even characters that can dodge attack out of their own dodge attacks aren't this fucking safe
cant be hit
jesus christ

>>1870121
of course not
that's the ONE weakness she has and it's not even a very big one
kyoshin is more vulnerable to GB while in stance than this bitch

if you don't have a neutral undodgeable you can just go ahead and kill yourself
