Thank you for this post. I've only really done 1v1 so this was illuminating to me. All add this graphic too. It helps you understand how renown works and what gets you renown points for your character.

Oh yeah that image is pretty good. Put that in the OP!

And that points out something I left out, that if you're a heavy you're better off holding or contesting A or C than trying to kill mooks at B, while vanguards need to be killing mooks here and there. So that gives you a clear role in dominion based on what class you pick. And obviously assassins are just running around trying to gank players.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
this is a cool fighting game that should be marketed as such and at 20-40 dollars instead of 60

aside from that I have no real input, the 1v1 and 2v2 modes are great and everything else is a clusterfuck where little of the mechanics make sense or play well

good luck on your game, people willing to buy in

:lol: when was the last AAA fighting game released at $20? Keep dreaming.

If you're a poor just wait a few months for a sale like with literally every video game :v: You act like this is different.

The 4v4 mode makes tons of sense if you spend a few seconds figuring it out, and is very addictive once you get it. I haven't done many duels since, its got so much more going on. But please, blame the game because you're small minded.

It's okay for people to have opinions and not like the game, IMHO. I loving love it and it hits all the right buttons for me but not everyone is going to feel the same way!

Actual content: to add to the Dominins tips, do not forget your feats! Body count (should be a first level feat for everyone?) is INCREDIBLY important if you're going to be mixing things up at B - I've had it decide more than a few fights in my favor when I could zone attack for a full heal and the other guy couldn't.

Make sure to play around with your options as you level up and experiment with what works best!

When you're in a town like this all covered with smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that, used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly.


Alternatively, if you're still unsure about the game, grab some of your old Nintendo stuff and go trade it in for Steam credit at your local Gamestop (locations may have different trade in rates though? YMMV). Get For Honor for free! I traded in a bunch of Wii U games and a 3DS + games and got like $320. Nintendo is making GBS threads out money right now for stuff.

Remember that you can just upgrade any piece of gear for salvage and steel. You get swamped in so many rank 1 items that you can just pick out whichever one has the stat you like and boost it up to a rank in line with the rest of your equipment.

The mode is fine but the powerups and ease of revive are doing their absolute best to ruin it.

loving uplay overlay keeps the mouse on screen even during matches and it's the most distracting poo poo.

Also glad to see group matchmaking is utterly hosed and lobbies drop rather than trying to find new players.

Yeah, the powerups are basically a snowballing mechanic that mostly just make it easier for the winning team to win even harder. Whoever manages to get the first kill can rush to a powerup, approach the next fight with a significant advantage, get more powerups, and at that point it's almost over. Together with the reviving I've rarely seen a team make a comeback after being put on the backfoot.

this just really seems quite convoluted in mechanics making for a lackluster experience in terms of actual combat and strategy. at that price point I just don't see this being worth a buy. I'm sure this will be dead once the "ooOH shiny" wears off.

and don't even get me started on being peer to peer. its fate is pretty much sealed outside of bargain bin buy 1v1s. i can only compare this game to rocket league, but while rocket league has fun, strategy, and an overall polish this game is just another turd with a new name and a lightbolt sticker

Kind of surprised at the complaints. I can totally see this not clicking for everyone, but this feels like everything I've wanted in a 'combat' game and it makes me think of what a modernized Bushido Blade would be like.

I was sold after 30 minutes of open beta.



edit: I'd be hyped as gently caress to see 1v1s or 2v2s at Evo or some other big FGC tournament if UBI could figure out a good way to implement a good spectator mode.

why yes, if it actually goes down to $20 after literally one month, you might have a point!

Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.
Here's a summary of about 80% of this thread:

quote:

"This game is too expensive!"

"P2P lol"

"Your opinion is different than mine, therefore you are retarded."

*autistic screeching*

Hot take: Game is legit fun, has a high learning curve and skill ceiling, isn't too expensive, and despite all the constant bitching about P2P it seems most people haven't experienced many significant issues.

Recreational outrage is in full swing, let's all get mad about something!
