For Honor now has dedicated servers up for all public 4v4 modes on PC. I think they are up for brawls too.

Enjoy. People's biggest complaint with this game has been resolved.

WOOOOOO!

Gonna have to see if I can actually get matches, now. I might just be too low a level. If that's the case, I thnk I'll go through the singleplayer finally.

Campaign, PvAI and custom matches don't have servers yet. Everything else does.

I thought Campaign was singleplayer? Or are you talking about the... nah, I have no idea what else it could be.

Ah. Did not know that. That's pretty neat, actually.

It's a pity it took this long for dedicated servers. Had they delayed the release by, oh, 2 or 3 months in order to add that (or just overhaul the whole multiplayer system) this game would have completely destroyed the fighting game market, I bet.

I gotta hand it to Ubisoft- they seem to be trying to make For Honor into what it could/should/might have been and are just improving and refining it. The multiplayer now has more strategic elements, they've continued to balance heroes, they've added the dedicated servers...

Right now there's an event game mode (realistic dominion - no UI, no gear, no revives) as well as a double XP event for two days.

I am still, for whatever reason, utterly unable to joint PvP matches. I'm wondering if it's a skill/gear level thing, since I've played so little.

This game seems much less popular in the US, judging from matchmaking.

When I go search at peak hours (IE about at the time of this post, or a bit earlier) matchmaking is often near instant.

When I try to search much later, say at 2AM (8pm EST), matchmaking feels nearly dead, with me facing the same players over and over and matchmaking being lengthy.

(And yes matchmaking is cross region).

Hrm. So what you're saying, is I should try playing at a completely different time?

I wish the 'Very Busy' message for each game type actually gave you a number of players on.

Dominion and tribute says 'very high activity' all the time, in my experience.

Also, I don't know. You can obviously only play when you play. You should join your faction's discord and see if you find anyone to party up with. That is sure to reduce queue times, especially if you find a full party.

Wait, there's a Discord for For Honor stuff?

I did not know that. I'll have to take a look.

There's not 'a' discord. Well, there is one general FH subreddit discord but I expect that one to be so overpopulated there won't be much sense going on. https://discord.gg/forhonor

There's also faction specific ones, and I am in the viking ones. The link to them is https://www.reddit.com/r/forhonorvikings/ (replace vikings with knights or samurai as appropriate).

The For Honor starter edition is FREE for a couple more days!

You have to put in a bit more work if you want to get everything than in the standard edition, but it's still amazing.

Go get it!

I just... The connection issues I have. I gotta play the singleplayer, see if it's an issue with it considering me too 'low ranked' to matchmake properly.

A few days ago the Marching Fire expansion released, adding a new Breach game mode (castle siege) as well as four new Chinese heroes.

If you buy the expansion you get the heroes two weeks early. A PvAI challenge mode is also included (and exclusive to) the expansion.

I am very, very happy that they're adding factions. I'm curious how it's going to affect the balance of the campaign, but more than that, I'm looking forwards to eventually seeing Vedic or Rajput orotherwise Indian subcontinent warriors. Someone with a Pata, someone with one of those whippy swords...
