Core gameplay is fine, needed more game modes and better servers, Ubisoft got lazy and paid the price with another dead game.

>>381656819
The core gameplay is great, and I got about a month's worth of enjoyment out of the game, but the lack of balance and connectivity patches eventually burnt me out. This game should've been a $40 multiplayer only title with dedicated servers.

>defensive meta
>gearstats
>micro transactions
>horribly shoehorned "competitive" atmosphere
>key to victory is finding opportunities where the enemy can't fight back

Anything else?

>>381656987

The defensive only affects 1v1 shitters

4v4 with no gear stats is actually really fun and competitive

The game was pretty fun when it first came out/was in beta. Then people started figuring out the best way to do things and it stops being fun

>>381657056
4v4 only needs dedicated servers and no gear stats and it's golden

>>381657089
This honestly

Learning the ropes and becoming a casual god was the most fun I had in the first week (i.e. no one knew how to counter grab so I just baseball batted people off cliffs as shugoki)

>>381656987
>>381657226

I don't think dedicated servers are the answer

>>381656819
>offensive play is disincentivized
>no timer in duels lets people camp at ringout spots when they're at a health deficit
>various other silly mechanics like resurrects which are incredibly hard to prevent

>offensive shitters

Jesus you guys just wanna button mash and now the devs are trying to make the game super aggressive for you fags who left

>>381656819
>Ubisoft

>>381657764
The game doesn't need to be PURE offense. The game as it stands is piss easy to defend, so there's not as much risk involved in taking a defensive approach. There needs to be an equal balance in skill/difficulty between offense and defense

>>381657764
Yeah so atleast they are trying to save the game and listen to the community

Balance issues out the fucking ass that I don't think were every properly fixed

Insane wait times for matches, could be thrown in with rep24 and level 3 fuckers at the same time

Ledgefags who don't try to fight, they just hang around ledges to throw you off, thing is full of shitters

Had such a good idea, but the execution was awful, can't be bothered booting up anymore, too rusty, could probably buy both new characters with steel but who fucking cares

>>381658056
Legding is not a problem

The balance can be better but the skeleton crew dev team is dumb

Actually the game is pretty balanced in 4v4 not 1v1

>>381658248
>4v4 is balanced

This holy shit the game becomes a lot better when you ignore people's bitching

>>381658248
>Legding is not a problem
Yeah sure, it's not like 90% of the Raiders I ever met weren't abhorrent ledgefags, it was a fucking issue

>>381658509
It's part of the game just accept it

>>381656819
I liked the open beta but the bad netocode made me not buy it. That and no splitscreen

>>381658509
>having trouble with the most predictable class in the game

You only have a problem with ledging if you get parried or can't counter-grab. Get good at either.

offense is completely dogshit unless you have unreactable lights so pure defense is the best way to play. also servers are dogshit and you often dont get your rewards/xp

t. owns season pass

>>381658693
Raiders a mix up god now actually

People say the devs do shit slow but they have given out a lot of buffs

>>381656819
>Peer to peer system

>>381658563
>>381658693
I don't think you're quite picking up on my point exactly, lads, yeah ledging is part of the game and yeah you can counter it, but it was the absolutely disgusting reliance on it that I saw for the month of two I played, it just seemed like it got really bad. It's not fun to play against someone just fishing for a throw.

Also,
>running away at the start of a match to join your gank squad

This shit was was also insufferable. It was the playerbase more than anything.

>>381658794
Because P2P is why the game sucks

>>381656819
it's a good game. Ubisoft just doesn't give a fuck about it past making their paycheck, which they made.

>>381658878
My fucking god you should have quit the game

It's dead since people can't stand you doing certain tactics fucking honorfags

>>381658962
I did quit it

I wasn't an honorfag bur for fuck's sake, it just stagnated player-wise, go into a game mode and you know exactly what you're gonna get every time

>>381658962
Not him but the game is designed for 1v1s, why they made a 4v4 mode is beyond me. Ganking is just a result of shit game design. If there's an opportunity to win, take it

>>381659120
It's made for 4v4 not 1v1

Watch "pro" for Honor players 1v1 is boring as shit while 4v4 is interesting

Even 2v2 is better and I mean actually fight 2v2 not that 1v1 shit

>>381659120
The games made for 4v4 friendo why do you think a defensive meta happens in 1v1 since the defense mechanics have 4v4 ganking in mind

What went wrong? Ubisoft made it. It's clear that they have no idea what the fuck they're doing, and it shows through their laughable balance.

>>381659764
Well atleast they have free dlc

>>381659817
thats the only plus side of the game, the problem is that the dlc heroes are total bullshit and the devs refuse to really do anything about it. Not to mention certain heroes have been amazing since launch and have barely had any changes.

>>381659916
That's actually what they want to do

Keep the top tiers good and buff the shit ones

>>381660016
and yet they haven't buffed any of the shit ones lmao
conq and kensei say hi
not to mention most heroes (like orochi and valk) only have one or two combos that you can even do

Shit core gameplay that doesn't know if it wants to be 1v1 or a mob ganking game. The 3 direction blocking only works in 1v1 but then add in another opponent and all you have to do is block in their general direction.

>>381660157
Raider and lawbringer

>>381656819
Multiplayer issues aside, this game had the potential for some seriously fun coop modes. Siege, Horde, Assault, basic unintuitive modes such as these would have greatly improved the game imo.

I also think they missed out on the opportunity to create a truly engaging single player experience. Maybe some RPG elements, create your own warrior, a large open map, etc. These are all old and tired ideas but the core gameplay was so good I honestly think this game would of benefited from them had it's focus on been on PvP.

>>381660234
are not close to the same level of power as warlord and centurion.

>>381660246

Hopefully someone copies the idea and combat system

>>381660246
*not been on pvp

>>381660291

Raiders top 5 now

>>381660341
Monkey's Paw. Todd Howard will now use the system for the next Elder Scrolls game. It's buggy as fuck in first person, while in third person 75% of the hits don't register.

>>381660341
That's why I like Ubisoft

They try new ideas fuck up but they try

>>381660572
Well Siege is the hottest shit now so maybe for Honor might get a break

>>381656819

Not enough fanservice.

>>381656898
>paid the price
Ubisoft took the money and ran, they never intended to support the game beyond the first months.

Just you wait, Skull & Bones is going to be the same.
