Hit prestige 1 on my conqueror and warden this weekend.
I'm not sure where i want to go next.

I love the game but man are the network issues frustrating. There's nothing worse than being on the last round of a match and getting kicked out.

Pure frustration.

I'm really looking forward to getting this. May be a while-- summer probably-- but man, the more I see it the more I want it.

I actually have it, but I know that my current computer struggles with it, and so I'm holding off until my new Motherboard comes in, so I can play it on my super-powerful brand-new computer.

It's driving me insane!

I'm being thrown into games with prestige 28 people. Feth my life those games suck when my highest character is level 18 (no prestige)

It's a truly lovely game, but I find some irony in that I like the female only classes least.

Nobushi is a class designed to DoT you up from afar and then run away, which is not the most thematic gameplay IMO (and a particular disappointment as I am a huge fan of the onna bugeisha). Valkyrie is awesome and was my main at first but I really dislike the spear sweep move in general and especially how ludicrous the spear sweep combos are right now. Peacekeeper is just all round horrible to play against. What an utterly cancerous class. The only one I'd actually be happy to see removed entirely.

I found my love in a surprising corner; the Lawbringer. Hard to play, rewards skill heavily, and satisfies my heavy armour addiction. Him, and a Shugoki buddy I almost always play with, make for one mean tag team. Sure, a shove alone won't do much on you. Getting shoved into a hug, on the other hand?

There are some issues. Aside from the above mentioned, I think warden zone attack is too fast (it almost feels unblockable), the conqueror shield bash > attack > shield bash > attack > shield bash > attack > shield bash > attack combo is dodgeable but feels very cheap, and a couple of other things. Ultimately, though, this game is gold. Slightly unpolished gold, maybe even dented, but it is still gold. At its worst, the game is frustrating. But when it's good, it's so good it becomes all worth it. I will keep playing it and I don't see myself stopping soon!

But yes, Melissia, do send me a PM if you end up playing it (assuming you play PC).

I'll let you know when I get on as well, if you're willing to play with a filthy casual.

Lately I've been getting matches in player vs player where my team mates just stand in place. They never do anything. Does anyone know why this is

It's "Honorable Play". Or, it might be. Are you talking about one-on-one, with the teammates watching you duel a single enemy? Or are they just letting all the enemies jump on you at once?

There's 2 sorts of 'playstyles' in the games without the mooks- "Honorable" and "Dishonorable". Honorable gameplay means that combat is a series of one-on-one duels, and anyone who doesn't have an opponent waits and watches for the duels to finish before fighting the enemy (if they were the winner).

Dishonorable means that you're all about winning, and will gang up on other enemies if you manage to defeat your foe (or escape them, even). It's safer, but a lot of people get salty about it.


Or it might be connection issues, though the game's usually pretty good about notifying you about those.


Also, I GOT THE GAME! Finally managed to redeem my code, so I'll probably be playing it tomorrow a whole lot.

Anyone else running the lawbringer?
Is it just me or is he a stamina hog?

I AM PLAYING! Haha! Finally got my new computer up and running.

Going with Conqueror for now- I like heavy bashy play, but I'm probably going to try out the Lawbringer and maybe the Roadhog character as well.

For fast, I'm probably going to be playing Valkyrie and Berserker.

But anyways- wanna group up with me? Friends lists, easier matchmaking, etc...

I am called 'Ashiraya' on uplay.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Ashiraya/ is my steam. I generally find steam more convenient to communicate in-game as uplay is wonky and the game chat is only present when in actual matches.

I tend to play FH later in the night, which should work well time zone-wise.

Earthenfist, myself.

No I mean my team mates just stand the whole match. I'll be playing a skirmish match and they will never move. I've had it happen multiple times

Huh. Doesn't sound like a disconnect issue- for all that the Ubisoft servers and matchmaking is buggy, they're at least pretty good about replacing AFK or disconnected players with Bots.

It's not disconnect issues either like you mentioned. The character will just stand at the starting point and never move. I've even hit them and nothing. Also a new thing is I've seen them running in circles at the starting point. Never fighting. Also I apologize, it's in player vs AI games. Not PvP.

For Honor is a serious game for serious people.

With very serious competitions.

I love For Honor and I will certainly not stop playing it but Ubi really needs to sort out their broken ass game.

I and a friend played 7 dominions in a row in which I just needed one more revive for a quest, but each one of them saw me errored out for various amusing reasons such as random FPS drops (and then kicking me for said low FPS, which is pretty insulting) or connection losses.

It's absurd.

Dang.

Also, we need to play together sometime. When do you usually play?

The connection issues are pretty shockingly bad. I just picked up the full game last week and have been playing the hell of it of it (probably my second favourite multiplayer game after Battlefield One), but it is continually frustrating to have games just drop half way through or somehow end up as the sole human player among 7 bots between Elimination rounds ect...

Fantastic game, but this is a major problem.

agreed paradigm...
i tried to get in a game of pvp dominion for no less than 20 minutes yesterday.
that was a combination of drops at matchmaking and drops immediately after getting in a game.
i hope that they're still working on the issue and don't consider the current state of affairs as acceptable.

Later in the night, often past midnight. Swedish time that is.

I'll look it up. Might be able to catch you sometime.

Also, what general levels are you guys? Because I can't seem to get PvP going- I can do multiplayer PvE just fine, often with a nice quick matchmaking time, but I can't seem to get into PvP.

Do you have to finish the singleplayer campaign before doing PvP or something?

not sure what you mean anvil, there really is no such thing as pve.
do you mean matches vs the AI?

Yeah, That.

Sorry, it's just easier to type than PvAI.

ah, lol
ai is always easier to get into because you only need half as many players.
i love elimination against the AI as i can play it all day with no fear of getting kicked off due to not enough players.

ive started that mode with 3 human team mates and ended tons of games later with just me and 3 bots vs the other team of 4 bots.

dual vs ai is fun too as you can just play a bunch of games endlessly but i wish the rewards were a little better.

as to your original question i dont remember having to do anything special to get human vs human going other than that one "beat the captain" mission that you have to do before joining multiplayer.

Sometimes this game is just... Just right.

You can also have fun fights against AI as compared to human players. The AI doesn't typically spam bulls*** combos or throw you into endless vortices of pain

That may be because the AI is pretty dumb. I may struggle to deal with the warden vortex or PK light spam, but defeating AI by throwing them off edges is hilariously easy since they have no environmental awareness. There's no satisfaction in it.

this isn't entirely true... lvl2 bots throw me off of ledges all of the damn time and often try to avoid the ledges themselves.
