Got owned super hard by a Prestige 2 Orochi to my Prestige 3 Orochi. He baited me to the edge, so I was on the lookout for guard breaks. He then stuns me with a scream, grabs me, throws me towards edge. I survive. He then daggers me, which staggers, then grabs and throws again. I wasn't even mad, it was pretty good use of the feats. I've never seen people use it like that before.

 PSA: If you have Amazon Prime, you can apparently get free "Twitch Prime", which then gives you freebies in For Honor. There are two exclusive emblems plus 10 days of For Honor premium free.

I am a bit annoyed by pubbies. Some of the orders yesterday had me venturing into 4v4 and I guess Raider is the new hotness. I'd just be fighting and some retard teammate would come crashing in and whack me while trying to get the take down. Twice in the same game a different Raider teammate killed me and didn't even revive.

Twice in the same game a different Raider teammate killed me and didn't even revive. He's a Raider, legendary. It is to be expected from one so mighty. Teammates like that are the worst. When you successfully grab an enemy and go to combo them, but your teammate decides a big sweeping side attack (loving Kensei motherfuckers) is the better option. So he smacks me out of combo, which basically means the enemy got out of a grab for free and didn't even get damaged.

Raider is bad in 1v1 but good in 4v4 His blinding attack + his grab + his unblockable makes him one of the best in group situations

Ubi really needs to do something about idlers in dominion fast. Joined a game to rank up my nobushi, and all three of my teammates were spinning in the spawn.

People wanna buy mythic sets with steel and ornaments. Also, that playercount picture is worrying. I'm hoping it turns out like Rainbow Six. After they keep churning out patches that fix a lot of problems, the player count will bounce back up. Hopefully..

TBH I am starting to feel fatigued on this game already. Its just a cumulative effect of a lot of negative things. The clear imbalance between all the classes. The fact that a P2P game somehow has regular server issues. The buggy combat that leaves you wondering if you messed up or the game just hosed you over with something that isn't clear. And of course the incredibly salty community that regularly whines and rage quits over everything. Its just starting to feel like a chore to play. When I lose a match I'm not sure if its because I messed up or I got hosed by the game's unclear mechanics. Was that a confirmed guard break or did I somehow not counter it despite knowing it was coming? How did that Orochi kill me with a top light when I was guarding upwards? Its a really bad feeling to not understand the mechanics behind my loss in a competitive game.

With the valk buff, Kensei is def the worst class in the game. It only becomes more and more apparent the better people I fight. Only "valid" move is top light, slowest side light attacks in the game, geting your dash attacks blocked is a free guaranteed guardbreak.  Not doing this to myself like I do in every fighting game, time to find a different, better class. Double Bill posted:Nah it's doing great! That's literally any multiplayer game ever, you will always get a dropoff after 2 weeks. Also I am assuming thats the pc version cause I see more players than that right now at 5 am est on ps4.

Sperglord Firecock posted:I thought berserker was the worst class due to predictable and slow heavies on an assassin Once you are even on the 2nd hit on a chain(like, just start with a light), berserker has the fastest heavy attacks in the game(side heavies, top heavy is fixed chain ender). Berserker is also the only class that has a second feint layer as they can cancel any attack into a dash. They aren't quite the blender the peacekeeper is, or the huge guaranteed damage of Orochi, but they sure ain't bad.

I really don't understand why a vs AI order can't be completed against players too, if you want to min/max your exp/steel gain you got to do a bunch of boring AI fights where more then likely you'll find your teammates afk in spawn.

OxMan posted:Hey guys, I just got this game a few days ago and tried reading the last 15 pages to get an idea of where the game is at but the lingo and various metas have changed so much since the OP that it's kinda impregnable from a newbie standpoint. A FG style OP with short character b&bs and an overview of the general flow of a match and how to gain initiative along with a glossary of For Honor specific character combo terms/properties (bashes, vortex) would help myself and any other new players get a grip on the mechanics faster. I'll compile a list or something eventually but stuff is still being hashed out, so nothing is definite yet. From my perspective, we still don't know all the tools a character can use. In general, any offense is pretty lacking. As intended, Warden's have the easiest time on offense since they have the best mixup. You would not be amiss playing them at all. Peacekeepers and Berserkers would also be fun if you are offensively minded. Really no one is input heavy (yet), there are very few true combos and the game is mostly setting up mindgames and footsies. On a character to character basis, this can degrade a bit, cause if a Warlord or a Conq just wants to lame you out slowly there is little you can do to pressure them.

I got angry at this game last night and I maintain that gear is cool but you shouldn't be crippled to start compared to where you end up. The first 20 levels on any class are loving miserable if you aren't simply dueling/brawling.

Zzulu posted:I'd be okay with longer quests if it meant that you got more steel for em I'm fairly sure they're tiered in XP, if not steel. Simple ones like "win 5 games" give you 500, longer or more difficult ones go up to around 1500. It's not quite as good as steel, but experience leads to leveling, and past Rep 1 each level grants an item, so there's at least some tangible payoff down the line.

I think I'm also hitting that zone where everyone spams their bash attacks and it's honestly just exhausting to deal with. I used to have a ton of fun dueling people where they would actually use normal attacks without just entering into a guaranteed damage chain but out of the 12 or so duels I did last night I think I had the chance to parry three attacks. I really think they need to either slow down, or increase the stamina, on bashes as it's really killing my interest in the game.

I absolutely hate the community for this game. Biggest bunch of assholes and crybabies I've ever seen. They're simultaneously sore losers, and salty winners. They complain about literally everything: my character, their character, playstyle, gear score, environmental kills, "honor", the map, the gametype...ugh. So I try to avoid the toxicity and just enjoy a relaxing game of dominion vs. AI, but AFK farmers have ruined that too. Every game at least 2 teammates are AFK and we lose the match. gently caress people. People suck.

You can turn matchmaking off for the vs AI modes. I know it sorta defeats the purpose of multiplayer but if you want to quickly grind out a domination AI contract, it's the fastest, least stressful way. With an AI team it's way easier to win, too. And you don't have to feel guilty spending the whole match killing mooks because of the contract.

Unless you get some sort of thrill out of seeing how miserable these people get, it becomes a lot more pleasurable blocking it out, in my experience. The other day in 1v1 my opponent stood there and committed suicide after complaining that he hated Lawbringers because "they never attack." What did he think was killing him? Dirty looks?
