Raged posted:Should I hold on to the chests that you get after battles until I get a few levels of reputation? Yeah. IIRC you unlock one new "tier" of equipment at reputations 1, 3, and 5 each. Perhaps further after that, too, but I've never actually gotten that far with any one character  . So it's generally a good idea to save your chests until one of those breakpoints.Though really, don't sweat it too much. After reaching reputation 1 you get one free item per level with that character, and pretty soon you'll have more stuff than you know what to do with. And besides, the stats are kind of secondary, the one and only purpose of all those items is to play medieval murder Barbie.

If there's one thing I could say Ubisoft definitely dropped the ball on with For Honor it was attempting to give all the fighters a realistic presentation without very much character expression outside of a few emotes. People don't play this game to wear period accurate armor, they do it for gaudy flame decals and spamming hip thrust at the end of every match.

I've always appreciated the creativity that people have for rudeness in this game. There's a way to make the warden do a kind of jerk-off motion with their sword hilt that I've never been able to replicate.

The green quality stuff (legendary?) starts dropping at prestige 7 about half the time, then 100% of the time once you're prestige 8. Also some people were talking about guard switch times between different characters on the last page, but those differences were all removed in a past update if I'm remembering right. Every character should be switching guards at the same speed now and it's more or less instant.

As a new player here are things that I don't like about the game. 1. Matchmaking: No way should reputation 0 be facing reputation 40+. I would gladly wait longer to face people closer to my level. In dominion I should not see my random pubbie team be all rep 0-1 facing a team that their lowest is 20+. It's not fun and you don't learn anything. 1-1 and brawls are the same way 2. That stupid D-Pad ability that drops a rock/motar on you and one-shots you. There should not be anything in the game that can one-shot you from full or near full health

Are you on PC? I’m on ps4 and I don’t see team differences like that anymore. Occasionally I’ll see a big rep difference in duel or brawl, but the text comparing your ‘skill level’ (opposed to rep) is usually accurate. I’ve played some 20+ rep people who were total poo poo, I assume they just play a ton of games.

People with really high rep (100+) tends to be people who farm dominion a lot and are really bad at 1v1. But yeah, the matchmaking can get a bit dumb at times.

Yeah, rep is only very roughly representative of actual ability. I've fought dudes with 40+ rep Orochis and 120+ rep total, and they still hadn't progressed beyond "spam top light". Meanwhile some rep~ 10 dudes occasionally manage to completely ruin my day. But yeah, some of the feats are really awkwardly balanced. Knights get the catapult that is an instant kill in a massive radius and comes out fast enough that it can be very tricky to dodge (particularly with fatter chars), Samurai get an arrow volley that you can avoid at a leisurely walk. Vikings get a bunch of traps with very short cooldowns that cannot be triggered outside of walking right into them, which can create unavoidable killzones. And my personal "favourite", the anti-bleed passive that exists only to shut down a handful of characters in particular but does exactly nothing against everybody else. Ask me about playing Nobushi and seeing ~20% of my usual damage output just vanish into nothingness.

I though Warlord had recovered from his initial over nerf when they buffed him back up a bit? He definitely suffers from the ‘initial character balance’ effect though. His special stuff like hyper armor and superior block are very widespread now. However, he is still the best character at ledge killing people, as his throw range is far and easily aimed in any direction. A lot of players don’t take advantage of that because chucking people off ledges is looked down on by some, but I think it’s needed for Warlord to not be poo poo tier.

Is lawbringers throw distance really that far? When Warlord gets you on his shield and takes you for a ride it feels like you go forever. I think only Raiders over the should carry goes farther, and that is limited in only going straight forward.

The LB guard break range is better than most, the actual throw seems about the same as the other characters. Certainly better than Highlander, where I'll go to guard break and miss people standing directly in front of me. Don't play Highlander, people.

Combine that with your dodge shove and if you can see a ledge they're getting hucked off it.

I generally have had bad luck with both of the after-parry attacks getting blocked or parried so I just always do a guard break after parrying. except sometimes I do the easily-parryable unblockable because the ADMORTEM INIMICUS rules Once in a blue moon doing that actually works out if the enemy gets tunnel vision in parrying and countering it then burns all their stamina with the followup

ADMORTEM INIMICUS is actually guaranteed if you do it after parrying a top light attack. They'll only be able to recover in time and parry it if you try it after parrying their heavy, or if you have to switch guard directions from a side light parry into your follow up. Parry > guard break > side heavy is usually the best option, but be careful against characters like Nobushi who will be too far away after you parry them for your guard break to connect. You'll just grab at the air and almost certainly get punished for it.

There is a really good game in here, but the number of bonehead design decisions just kind of ruins it for me. Coming across a matchmaker special where you are out levelled by a large margin and then your entire team being wiped out repeatedly by one shot abilities over and over again isn't fun. 4 players gaining a lead should not be able to get the lead then just camp a spot and just bear trap/nuke over and over and over again. I got my 20 bux worth out of the game, but man am I disappointed. Great tactical/fighting combat system here, but whoever added one shot weapons/abilities should be kicked in the junk.

The only actually good gamemode is 1v1 because it really feels like the game was designed with 1v1s in mind and then everything else was just crammed in later. Then you have okay gamemodes like 2v2 and Elimination both of which are just multiple 1v1s where you have a chance to get hosed over if you take too long and your teammates die, then you have Dominion, Skirmish and Tribute which are all clusterfucks where you win by dropping giant instagib artillery on people or waiting for them to start fighting your teammates and then pushing them off a cliff.

Yeah, your stats and items and all of that are console dependent. Which makes... some sense, really. After all, your stats, items, all that poo poo aren't tied to your Ubisoft account, they're tied to the console.

I decided to pick this game up in the Steam sale since I heard it has actually been fixed a little. It still appears to be a turtlefest if you aren't playing one of the snazzy new characters with actual offensive tools like Gladiator, Shaman and Shinobi, but I guess it's still better than release. Although the devs could still go into the config files and make 2-3 small changes and fix the game overnight. But I suppose slowly adding characters that have very fast unblockable and guaranteed damage moves works too. Shame about 80% of the game's cast being useless, though Going back to read my own posts in the past year, it turns out I was 100% right about everything and predicted the future predicament of the game on release day, even though almost everyone else disagreed. Where are you at now, haters
