Scoss posted:Game is fun but has serious connectivity problems. It seems to all be running on peer to peer, and about 50% of the time when you queue for 4v4 you get stuck in a lobby and it just spins its wheels forever, you have to alt F4 out of the game. I haven't played rainbow six but they seem to have a track record of actually fixing problems with that sort of stuff

The beta seems to already have plenty of maps, characters and variety, so if the full game has any more than that plus the extra 4v4 mode, and the campaign, I think that's a good amount of content given the depth of the gameplay. e: also i have the world's worst internet and i havent had any connevtivity issues and the game seems to play fine to me

Scoss posted:This game is really lovely for odd numbers of players. We had 3 people on for a while and were having a pretty not great time in Dominion with a 4th slot pubbie on our team and getting wrecked by bad matchmaking, then two more people came in to play and 5 is just an impossible number to work with here. There is a 4v4 Deathmatch mode and something called elimination in the final game, the beta is not all the content in the game

The dominion mode is 100% a team game and i've not played anything like it so its quite novel for me.

lol at that because good deep gameplay is enough content for me. I already want to keep playing the beta because the actual you know game is rewarding enough

Sultan Tarquin posted:Yeah I had an absolute loving blast playing this game. I always had my doubts about it but when I found out the Rainbow 6: Siege team was making it I wondered if they could accidentally make two good games. Looks like they did! Shame about all the Ubi bullshit attached though. It could be so much better with real support behind it idgi, overpriced DLC aside, as far as i can tell ubisoft support their games very well with updates and fixes continuing long after release. at least the sequel will be excellent too

Yeah i almost never buy a game brand new but i'm still itching to play this after the beta. I think the deep combat system rewards skill and makes you want to keep playing to get better at it, and when you lose it's not so bad because generally it's because you lost fair and square. It's much more fun for me than a shooter where i die instantly every 5 seconds, at least here i have a chance to fight.

Prawned posted:Game is pretty good and fun, dominion is a bit of a clusterfuck and could really benefit from heavier punishment for fleeing players - if the maps were bigger, and you were out of the fight longer after you ran away (like in most MOBAs) that'd be a good fix. Also faction war really is a pointless boondoggle. Yeah i guess the faction war is just a way to give some context and motivation to random duels and such but it could do with being explained better. Any indication of how long the single player campaign will be? I'm guessing not that long but from videos it does look like more than just the multi with bots, it's got cutscenes and everything. Could be fun because the AI seems decent.

Zaphod42 posted:If that's what you want I think the 4v4 for honor has it in spades. If you get into a 2v1 fight you're in a really rough spot (Imagine 2v1 street fighter or tekken) so teammates really need to be aware and work together when multiple enemies show up. Similarly good teamwork pays off really well if your friends are co-ordinating with you. 2v1 is manageable if you keep calm, block well and use the revenge mechanic wisely, and it's very fun and satisfying to displatch 2 attackers, 3 or more i can imagine is not going to end well

So, if the new maps and modes are going to be free, and the heroes too (?) does anyone think the season pass will be worth it in any way? I guess it's hard to say since it's still unclear to me what the season pass contains apart from some "bonus" things and 1 week early access to new heroes.

Minor question, does anyone know if the season pass 30 day exp boost is something that is likely to start automatically or can you choose when to start it? was there something similar in R6 siege or something

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Sounds like it'll be every three months like Siege. Maybe will get stale for a bit but it keeps people coming back. (maps and characters at least... no word on more modes) I'm sure they'll release new modes too, seems like it would be not too much work and keep things interesting.

breaks posted:Dumbass "playlist" poo poo that includes what are basically totally unrelated game modes (for example Dominion where you randomly get the moba-ish/ticket thing and one is elimination, which aren't really similar and BTW the former one sucks rear end). What are you talking about, you choose either dominion or deathmatch to play from the map screen

Feindfeuer posted:That's Dominion, or Domination or something like that. It's the only mode I ever end up in when I'm using quick play. I've never played anything else unless I've selected it directly on the map. No there's 2 different Deathmatch modes, one is elimination one is point based

Keegers posted:I like how no one maps vote. Allows me to do choose whatever I want Ha yeah I do the same. But there's only 3 maps for dominion so it doesn't make much difference. I guess the weather changes. I do like how you can play elimination on all 6 maps, both larger dominion maps and the smaller arenas. How exactly does the dodge work? Ive noticed recently playing the Kensei that dodging into an attack with the right timing does kind of a counter move, how does this differ from parry etc

breaks posted:The Kensei does have the dodge attack but it doesn't happen automatically, you have to press light attack along with the dodge. Ah yeah that's what I meant. Does not seem to work everytime, I guess the direction matters as well

I don't think it's honorable to run away immediately upon starting an elimination match. I did enjoy pushing someone trying to run away from me into a pit of spikes

Little detail I just realized: the location on the faction map of the battle affects the map during the game, e.g. if it is up in the mountains it will be snowy etc.

Nechronic posted:Beta is over! As of this posting the Steam Review for the For Honor Beta is showing 46% of the 6,927 user reviews are positive. Is that low? seems a bit low to me. Hopefully a lot of people enjoy the game but i guess it is a little tough to get into and takes a bit of time and effort to get to grips with.

Internet Kraken posted:Yeah I honestly don't get why it procs in 1v1s. Mainly because its existence just means the optimal strategy for anyone that has been blocked a bunch is to just run away until their revenge meter backs down. Not very interesting. Yeah but at least running away isn't going to get you far in a 1v1 because the areas are quite small, you will run into a dead end.

Garrand posted:The video works perfectly fine for me, and it's 8 minutes long in which the orochi has literally no way to damage the warden because the warden blocks every feint, including double and triple feints and guard breaks. The orochi is constantly running out of stamina. Basically the point is the warden has literally no reason to attempt to go on the offensive. Yeah but that's if you want a draw everytime, obviously you can't actually win without attacking

Chomp8645 posted:With this post you have likely thought more about the system than Ubisoft did. Nah it's adjusted based on player count for each faction and you cant just jump to the winning one because you don't get the reward or something ^^ don't worry too much about the intricacies of the faction war just focus on fighting good and think of it as a big game of risk
