>she can soft feint to GB at any time

I got enough money for a new guy, Kyoshin or Jormundir?
Jorm seems like they have more fun potential but I currently main Black Prior so I think I'd gel with Kyoshin more
I'd advise Kyoshin.
Jorm seems fun on the surface but the second I started playing them I absolutely hated it. Your main strategy is going to be stamina bullying with the same move until you get your nut slam and then repeat the process.
There's really nothing else going on with them.
if you play kyoshin you automatically lose both foreskin and testicle priveleges
spend your steel on cosmetics for your favorite dude instead
Don't you have a /vg/ thread
My dick don't work.

I just loaded into a breach match and the enemy team was 3 JJs and a pirate
this mode can never be saved
>I just loaded into a breach match
First mistake.
>hitokiri can feint the kick that you HAVE to dodge into a guardbreak on reaction to your dodging the kick startup
that is fricking horseshit
I have now started 13 breach matches and closed my game within 3 minutes of the match starting
Ive been trying to play breach for an hour and a half
14
I joined as attacker and the ram was at 40% health and the first gate wasn't even down to its last bar of health yet
You are so close to learning the lesson.
XDD another meme emote! You guys like 2 year old memes right?
Pirate nerf??
Which of the knights would do this holy white unicorn themed look the best?
Lawbringer is the best looking knight so the answer is always LB
Got any screenshots? I'll need to redownload the game once I'm back home since I'm in the mood for some FH but I'm still at work.
bump
Don't have the game installed lmoa
We have literal dragons now my dude it's over
lawbringer can already become unicorn themed
Anybody else think this buccaneer character is shit?
The gun seems like too much of a jump into the future for the setting of the game. And it's silly that the gun is self-loading and automatic. The other weapons don't breach the suspension of disbelief to this degree.
Bro we've had literal magic for like three years now my immersion's already as broken as it's going to be. Pirate's not any worse than Hitorkiri's soul-stealing or Shaolin's instant transmission. If I could undo all of them I would but at this point I'm past caring.
Yeah, but, the gun is tacky from a theme perspective.
The theme went out the window once they started adding those all those shitty premium shitty particle effects and silly executions. Only a matter of time until we get a musket dude with bayonet
Those shitty premium shitty particle effects and silly executions are things that I can overlook because they're side things. A hero with a semi-automatic is a bit too much for my taste. It kinda fricks with the theme.
not entirely. In a way the gun is kind of silly because it normally does only 5 damage, the first tier feat version does 12 damage, and the longbow all samurai heroes, highlander, warmonger, zhanhu, and I think a few others get deal fifty damage. (my theory is that she's just firing 'blanks' and burning people on the powder blasts) But there's also game balance (whatever's left to consider with her at least) to keep in mind. Lawbringer and Warmonger's armor were the types of armor expressly invented to resist gunfire even and existed in time periods well after firearms came onto the scene even in europe (like the late 1200s)
That being said, what I do wish was that each time the Pirate fired the pistol, she dropped it and pulled out another, this opens up armor sets where she's practically wearing enough pistols to count as an armor, also maybe have the pistols become particle effects to litter the battlefield with guns. Okay that second part is a joke. But drawing a new gun could even make for part of the balancing act as she would need even like 500ms to ready a fresh pistol from her hammerspace coat.
Don't get me wrong, I think there's a lot of things wrong with her or that at least could be done better. But possessing a handgun is really a non-issue.
>drawing new guns every time
GIVE HIGHLANDER AN UNDODGEABLE IN OFFENSIVE FORM
RIGHT FRICKING NOW UBI
RIGHT NOW
Ok, the emote gets undodgeable properties
use the grab doofus
Undodgeables are supposed to counter dodge attacks as well
>do OF heavy > kick > grab soft feint
>spend 60% of my stamina doing this
>a kensei that initially dodged the heavy still doesnt get grabbed and hits me
Who is the most braindead character in the game?
>1vs1 braindead just autopilot the same mixups on repeat
Pirate
>4vs4 braindead literally just press heavy attack over and over and topscore in dominion everytime
Hitokiri
i want to play more shaman but she's genuinely insufferable in any non-1vs1 gamemode
>finally do all the setup required to pounce and bite someone
>teammate without fail smashes me out of it so they can hit a single light and give the enemy revenge
She, Nuxia and Glad all have the same problem: their big damage payoff is interruptable by literally everything. Nuxia's got it the worst because she doesn't have anything else (at least Glad has bashes and Shaman has unblockables). Being Nuxia in a team fight is just pain, you basically drop caltrops and that's the extent of your usefulness. Every trap is going to be interrupted by either a team mate or an enemy so you just go around raw heavying.
Shugoki suffers a little bit too on account of the hug but that's such a small part of his kit now it hardly matters.
for glad and shaman at least they are an absolutely headache in 1v1s
and since they're assassins they can get in and get out really quickly
they have a lot of roamer / jungler potential
also having stealth on shaman will allow you to get in sneaky opening damage pretty often if you're just roaming from objective to objective
I think 4v4 and 1v4 potential trumps all so they're still not going to compete with the likes of Raider and JJ and Piss Rat
I keep screaming but Ubisoft won't answer
God damn I want to kill the idiots that let mm be this bad. Got matched up with Black folk and chinks from across the globe with bad internet so when I fought them, constantly teleport around, and it favored them when I light parried so it just me eating a full combo every god damn time. And my teammates are always rep 100 or below when all the enemy team are rep 200 at least. I want to kill the fat bastard that balances this game. Pirate, JJ, Kyoshit, Shitnobi and Shito are in every single game. Pls for the love of god buff every other characters so I don;t have to face these unblockables spamming fricks.
extremely relatable post
>kyoshin can punish any non-unblockable attack with 3 full seconds of stunlock
>all of hitokiris attacks have nearly identical animation startups so you basically just have to guess if this next ones gonna be a light, a heavy, a charged heavy, or the actual unblockable
>also hitokiri gets a billion hyperarmor on every move
>JJ literally cant be punished for fricking up at any time and can only be killed with overwhelming aggression that forces him to actually defend
>Raider has infinite stamina and the most absurd attack chain of any character in the game
I hate it so much
why does kyoshin get literally everything in """his""" kit?

thank you ubi
I understand

Rep 75 is fricking massive
nuh uh
>Get 2 reps per week by accident playing 4v4
>5 year old game
Idk if it's just because I have been playing this (on and off, mostly off) since release but does anyone else notice more and more bugs lately? Like environment glitches and the like
>opponents at my current mmr recognize that I go for crushing counters as highlander
>they start baiting out free light parries by juggling heavies
I'm just not allowed to crushing counter any basic heavies from neutral I guess
why does pirate have hyperarmor on her unblockable forward dodge heavy?
>player is good enough that they can consistently parry lights
>they still just play raider, pirate, and JJ
why
you're good enough to make any character work and yet you're playing the character designed for disabled children
fricking why
Because the less bandwidth they have to dedicate to moronic useless character gimmicks, the more they're able to focus on things like parrying lights. That's why top-tiers stay top-tier.
Thats like asking me take the stairs up to the 10th floor just because i can use my legs, instead of taking the elevator.
you are in a wheelchair and have to take the elevator lmao
>I play raider because I'm a good player
pfffffffft
Greater results, dickhead. This isn't rocket science, dickhead. You should've known this, dickhead.
Dickhead.
installing cheats will also yield even greater results
I highly recommend a togggle-able auto parry
playing JJ with with cheats would probably be FRICKING AWESOME and would get absolutely BASED results that are GREATER
lawbringer would be A-tier if he had hyperarmor during some part of his primary combo
his moveset is fine
either hyperarmor on the openers or hyperarmor on the unblockable finisher
do any 1 of the following to pirates forward dodge heavy
>remove unblockable trait
>remove hyperarmor
>remove the ability to soft feint to a guardbreak
remove just one of these and it becomes something resembling a fair move
As someone who plays pirate, I'd say remove the top two, remove dodge cancel from side dodge and forward dodge heavies, and maybe give her a light-heavy-light and heavy-light-heavy combo because I'm fricking sick of all these two-hit combos in modern heroes.
is this game p2w? i'm bored, have a ton of disposable cash, and want to whale up a game
Game is not really pay 2 win. You eventually get better weapon skins that can affect your stats, but they really don't affect the combat much.
Wasn't like how it was on launch.
no
I mean
you can spend real money to unlock Jiang Jun right away with the Marching Fire thing
but all characters can be unlocked by just playing the game
Jiang Jun is objectively the best character in the game in every regard so I guess if you buy him with real money you'd be paying to win
you could probably stomp people hard before you even finish learning the basics because JJ is so incredibly forgiving with absolutely zero conventional punish windows
actually yeah
it's pay to win
FH is play to lose. You will gain nothing from playing this game but misery
Raider is busted as frick and you start the game with him unlocked

Bannable offense actually
How do they define what is and isn't a bannable offence?
Is the practice of being an honorgay a bannable offence?
Is spamming a bannable offence?
Extreme honorgayging can be considered griefing yes
I would love to be banned
it would fantastic
Just spam Black person in chat then
PS4 players can't see text chat so theres nobody to report me
theres like 1 PC player for every 20 console players
Pretty sure they can see it, just not respond
Not him but yeah chat is entirely disabled for consolechads.
Pretty sure they said in the crossplay reveal that they could read chat but they could just have fricked it up like always
Nope.
I like Warden's Shoulder Bash. There, I said it.
light light bash light light bash light light bash
>opponent finally starts to dodge soon enough
>start holding the bash
>continue to light light bash
Ill bet you LOVE the bash
The bash is fine. It was cancer back when you could feint it after you started moving and initiate it from a backdodge. Warden's problem is the rest of his moveset. Dude can't even light after a heavy to confirm for team mates, and his feats are mostly trash. Solid 1v1 hero, underwhelming otherwise.
He's for sure a solid 1v1 hero but honestly the most bland
gib highlander more stamina
or make his stuff cost less
83 stamina for a single mixup is insane
do anon's play one hero forever or just a few favorites? i see tons of players that have under 100 total reps with rep 50-70 on a hero.
i generally rep a hero to 8-10, crack a few crates, min/max gear perks, fashion them best i can, move on to a new hero. then play my favorites when i get sick of grinding. highest hero rep is 21 (warmonger) I cant imagine playing a single hero to rep70. thats 7 heros you could have gotten proficient with instead
I religiously, exclusively, and autisticly play big sword man
I am a hair short of rep 70
the only other characters I have any reps on are lawbringer and gryphon (I thought he might be some cool fusion of lawbringer and highlander)
I want to be an unstoppable bastard with the claymore
if they ever add a zweihander character I will probably also get him to rep 70 (unless it's female only for some reason)
hopefully a zweihander mercenary character would get a primitive Holy Roman Empire style mini-canon / blunderbuss
so I could better roleplay as the blacked swordsman
>female
That's problematic language; you mean Body Type 2.
why can't I see body type 2's breasts on raider when I can see type 1's pecs?
why the discrimination
It's only a matter of time before I get banned for AFKing in spawn
but these people have to learn
you can't just beat me in dominion and expect to get away with it
now take your deserved loss like a champ, b***h
Wow! Wow! Wow!
that's right
say wow
say good fight
I won't leave spawn
and yes I will use stealth to run to the enemy spawn just as the last of you goes down for the last time
and I will wait in the enemy spawn till the timer runs out
you should't have ganked me with 3 cents last match
Is there a new hero soon do you think? Not sure how often they release them. It's been a few months since Pirate came out.
there will probably be a new one by the end of summer or something
it'll be another character in Pirate's dumbass donut faction
The joke has been made before, but it's strange how Pirate is:
>Good at everything
>Body type-locked
>Has *that* hair style
>Is a POC
>Has the most anachronistic weapon
She fits all the tropes of a "woke" Mary Sue character, with some donut steel thrown in there.
yep
and the devs think it's 100% fine
not even one teeny tiny balance patch
>I'm good enough at wavedashing to keep up with 7 m/s characters but there's no moves in offensive form with rollcatch so I can't punish them for continuing to run
maybe I could quickly switch to DF and celtic curse but I'd probably still fail to connect a hit

Post cosmetics
ok
>at this point LB and BP are the only knights lacking a 'Helmet mask modeled after a face' look.
It angers.
Forgot to post my fashion.
met some dude today who was Rep 70 on warlord
The War Boar
had a big silver helmet that covered his face and big ornamental horns that looked like huge tusks
and he had the Battle Swine illustrious effect
we lost, but he only died once and was the last to go down
warlord games always funny when they use their t4 revive after the game ends and start killing the enemy team. perhaps he had that perk too and lived beyond the loss without dying.
Juggernaut + Tough As Nails + Regenerate + Bastion + Vengeful Barrier + Bulk Up
an immovable object
pirate is overpowered
What other world warriors would you like to see from the Outlander faction? There's plenty of opportunity for other cultures to get in now
I'd like to see a middle eastern dude with Katars
Scooby Doo would be pretty neat.
A Mamluk with alternate Rajput armor sets
man I dont know what all they changed but this season it feels like you get no frickin renown for anything other than just farming soldiers in mid
and since B gives +2 now it's also the best thing to do for winning
They removed class specific renown, if you missed that
wasnt the only class with abnormal renown gains vanguards though?
Okay
not okay
Highlander doesn't need a bunch of cancer shit slapped onto him to be viable
just some tweaks in areas of concern
>slow as shit, slowest in the game
just raise him to 6 or 6.5
right now everyone can safely run away from him
he can't chase anyone
and moving from spawn or between objectives is a painfully slow
>no stamina
either lower his OF costs or make so that he has super high stamina regen in OF
also remove the fricking cost of exiting OF
>can't antigank for shit
add hyperarmor to his crushing counters
that alone would be a huge improvement
and give him an undodgeable somewhere, preferably in offensive form so you can actually use OF moves on characters like orochi
anyone have experience with an xbox elite controller or any other controller with paddles?
was wondering if I'd have an easier time parrying if I wasn't using an analogue button for input
I use an Elite Series 2 and the hair triggers are nice. Also I've got GB on the left paddle so I don't have to take my thumb off the right analog stick to GB. It's a solid improvement, although I dunno if it's worth triple the price of a normal controller.
I use a switch controller on PC and the digital triggers are fantastic for this game
The BP execution is so fricking bad holy shit. I wouldn't even render this if I animated that just for myself and they release that for 7k steel. This game is beyond done
How do you decide what Aramusha unblockable to use after getting his full guard block thing? They both seem very similar
The light one does more damage than the heavy one, while the heavy one is better for when you're being ganked because of the wide swing angle it has in favour of doing less damage.
The kick meanwhile does no damage but does a huge chunk of stamina damage and if you hit the enemy into a wall with it you get a free side heavy.
A basic way to always remember what to use is:
1. Is there other enemies beside them? Yes = Heavy
2. If not, are they close to a wall/ledge or low on stamina? Yes = Kick
3. If no to both of the above, Light.

which for honor character has the fattest c**t?

I have never seen a console player play any character besides JJ, Kyoshin, Pirate, Orochi, and Raider
it has not happened
Because all console players are homosexuals. I say this as a console player.
>hito can feint their neutral bash into a guardbreak IN REACTION to an opponent dodging the bash
WHAT THE FRICK
I AM SO FRICKING ANGRY
WHY DO RECOVERIES AND "COMMITS" NOT EXIST FOR SOME CHARACTERS
>hurrrrr I can dodge out of my recoveries so you cant punish me for button mashing like a moron
>hurrr actually no I didnt bash um actually it was a guardbreak uuuuuh durrrr
I AM SO FRICKING ANGRY
The best designed character for cancelling out of recoveries that I've played so far has to be Aramusha.
I can cancel my recoveries into an all block which sounds pretty busted at face value, but it only lasts for a tiny moment, I can't cancel out of it and if I predict wrongly I can be guardbroken and eat a heavy.
For all other characters it feels like they absolutely fricked the risk/reward of their recovery cancels where there's zero reason NOT to do them.
>guardbroken and eat a heavy
haha what if your opponent couldnt confirm a heavy on GB haha
I am guilty of shitting the bed in front o a teammate in a brawl
I was bad and he saw me
always remember to tell your loved ones goodmorning and goodnight sirs
btw thanks reading my blog btw
Does having a bigger dick translate to having more skill in the game?
It's an inverse relationship, that's why I'm so good.
>Pope still has FH in his bio
Didn't know the Pope was a gamer.
Why are there only newbies here
Who is this pope guy?
A söyböy stereotype guy who was part of the weekly Warrior's Den stream when the game still had promise
anyone with a brain quit after that shitstain of a CCU
it's basically only newbies discussing the game now
The CCU was a good thing. You boomers, with your shit reaction times, were dragging the game down with you. Adapt and shut up or frick off.
Keep telling yourself that while you fight the same people over and over and over again in your dead game with cringe meme emotes kek
I'll poo in your urethra, you fricking spacker. Just shut the frick up, man, you're fricking trash.
Must have hit a spot there
This game was a garbage fire on release and the three things that made it playable were:
>Dedicated servers
>Gear system rework
>Core combat update
Before those three things fights were decided by:
>Who had host
>Who had a full set of ++Revenge Gain Gear
>Who was willing to stand still and stare at the opponent longer before getting bored and throwing an attack, because all offense was reactable and punishable
Horrible gameplay that it took them far too long to correct. Now I might even be tempted to call For Honor good.
Now fights are decided by:
>Are either of you playing Raider or Pirate?
>Who's spent more time sucking Raider and Pirate's wieners for free wins?
>Who can mash their easy bake mix-ups harder.
So you're just mad at Raider and Pirate. That's fine, they're two of the strongest characters, but don't pretend that pre-CCU gameplay was anything but trash that needed to go. It's the worst kind of moronic rose-tinted glasses. The game is in a far, far better place now.
Wasn't saying pre-CCU wasn't trash, just that the game still sucks ass when there are characters in the cast, some you unlock on download that invalidate half the others.
Or how we went from everything being reactable to almost everything being unreactable and just having to make a blind prediction of what mix someone will go for.
dorito pope?
>game with huge skill ceiling and no way to get there without losing a bunch
>doomposting
name a more iconic duo
CCU maybe improved console, on PC against people with good hardware, which are the only people left playing, you are still not allowed to do much without getting le parried or otherwise countered unless you stick to ugly meta heroes
It improved duels a lot in my experience but of course you get the occasional parrylord on ADHD meds
Team modes were always shit imo and the unblockable spamming everywhere just made it even worse, factually impossible now to win an outnumbered situation unless the gankers are either going easy on someone or are completely Brain-AFK. What action oriented combat should have over other combat is that the odds are not solely dictated by numbers but mostly by player skill. But if outnumbered means losing regardless of your skill being equal or higher than theirs, you might as well play MMO PvP at this point.
>load into breach
>see this
>close in task manager
no thank you
Anyone who plays hito is a homosexual.
Hito is easy to fight, though. What the hell are you talking about right now?
he forces me to make a read every time he does literally anything and forces me to have great reaction time
>uh oh you dodged my kick slightly too early so now I get to feint the kick into a guardbreak, punishing your early reaction to the kick bash
>uh did you just start up a parry of my unblockable charged heavy? well Im sorry to inform you that you are now guardbroken
>chargeable hyperarmor legsweep
hito is bastard that doesn't have a lot of crazy mixups but the amount of freedom and time he has to make a decision is frustrating to fight against
too much hyperarmor
access to unblockables is too easy
too much bashing
Hito is basically highlander's offensive and defensive forms mushed together with less nuance
Hito is the most obnoxious 4vs4 character in the game
really like this jif
just wanted you to know
No, you don't. Just shut the frick up, b***h.

>have two pirates on my team
>feel the overwhelming urge to afk in spawn as punishment for playing pirate
Wow, dude, surely you wouldn't be such a homosexual?
People play competitive PvP games to win, not for roleplaying. I don't play pirate, but I'm not going to be holding my dick just because I might offend homosexuals.
People play FH for dress up
The competitive scene is like 0.1%
Then how come most outfits look shit?
Most seem to not understand the key of making an outfit with good aesthetics is basing the overall design on the uncontrollable aspects of the visuals, so the entire outfit emits synergy.
>most seem to not understand
bro it's like they dont even see it as fashion
they dress their characters like you'd dress an F1 car or NASCAR car
>Raider
>jet black skin color
>bright radioactive yellow on every available surface
>bright turquoise decals in every available slot
>pink flower or something as the ornament
>axe has more gold on it than a rich Indian housewife
DISGUSTANG
sometimes people have some good sense though when the options are incredibly obvious
>Gryphon
>convict armor (regular)
>gold material
>the premium cosmetic lion ornaments
>Ilma's gift weapon skin
for a nice coheisve golden lion aesthetic
>they dont even see it as fashion they dress their characters like you'd dress an F1 car or NASCAR car
That's an accurate way of putting it.
That's one of the better Highlanders I've seen.
The low-tier weapons typically have the best fashion, due to not being tacky.
>compare & contrast is also important
Yeah, putting in some differing colours can make an outfit.
For example, the new Valkyrie armour looks good with a blue cape (don't remember the name of the colour scheme, because some blues don't look right) despite the outfit emitting tone of a dark red.
appreciate it
but whats the BEST highlander youve seen?
watch this drip
>so the entire outfit emits synergy
you nailed it. compare & contrast is also important
I think Jiang Jun's design is really frickin cool, but holy shit I can't play him without feeling like a rotten sweatygay
I like Jiang Jun, though I'd preferred if they didn't make him an old fat c**t.
Something akin to pic related would've been more preferable.
>make a character that combines the movesets of several characters
>two of the large donors are stance characters
and somehow the final product is a significantly more boring lawbringer with a dodge heavy
underwhelming
low skill floor
and honestly a low skill ceiling as well, not a lot to get creative with at a high level of play
>no unblockable finishers
>can't feint anything with the bash except maybe just throwing out regular forward dodges to scare the opponent and then bashing
>kick is easily dodged by people with brains so it's basically just you throwing out undodgeable light finishers and every now and then trying to throw in a kick
just basic and boring as sin moveset considering the background / design of the character
could have done some sort of "gryphon stance" that's borrows elements of Sifu Stance and Offensive Form
>backstep into gryphon stance, counts as a dodge
>can be used to dodge out of all heavy attack STARTUPS only and no other moves (no dodging out of any recoveries)
>while in gryphon stance your stamina regenerates 50% faster and stamina recovery starts immediately upon entering
>from gryphon stance you can either perform a highlander formorian kick (basically the kick finisher he has now) or a lawbringer longarm
>do some animation magic where one of those two can be soft feinted into the other
I dunno
probably a shit idea
but gryphon is boring and that's unacceptable when his gimmick is borrowing elements of other mechanically interesting characters
bro what the frick even is arcade mode
why is it 30 dollars
what does it have to do with chinese people
It's an easy way to do the "play 12 matches as X" orders because each individual round in Arcade counts as a full match. So doing three of the lowest-level arcade quests (4 rounds per) lets you knock out one of those orders in like ten minutes instead of doing 12 duels (36 rounds) or playing like two hours of Dominion.
Other than that, it's completely worthless. Not worth $30, if I could go back in time and unbuy Marching Fire I would.
does it ever go on sale?
this steam sales history website is broken and says it's been 10 dollars since feb but it's definitely still the full 30
https://steampricehistory.com/app/916430
oh correction
since feb of last year
consider for a moment
the humble landsknecht
>zweihander

it is a sweet pleasure to be able to force a three stack of discord pirates to quit a breach match they were previously guaranteed to win
How would you force them to quit?
by shaking my sweet ass in spawn
by fortnite dancing all by my lonesome
you can MAYBE win breach with a single bot
you cannot win breach with only 3 heroes active on the field
even though they were all in discord in a three stack and playing the single best character in the game they knew it would be hopeless
so they quit
they told me that they were going to report me to ubisoft
I hope they do
so you're a little b***h who wasted everyone's time because randoms play a hero you don't like. pathetic
They shouldn't be playing breach and shouldn't be sweating so hard in this game of all things.
They're the morons for doing that.
"Sweating" can be for fun, too. There's times when "sweating" is more fun because you're playing the game straightforwardly and simply by not trying to avoid offending the other person.
You're approaching the game as organically as possible, no LARPing.
>straightforwardly and simply
I refuse to believe you're trying to convince me that a discord call of three people all agreeing to play the strongest character in the game right now are playing it "straightforwardly and simply".
The goal of For Honor is to kill enemy heroes, either as the primary goal or to stop them from interfering with the objective. So they are playing For Honor straightforwardly and simply.
I play heroes for the fashion, which Pirate is bland looking. Nothing about that hero is well designed, except for the theme that played during her debut.
I'm mostly referring to spamming. I think spamming isn't a bad thing, but some do. I believe the quickest and easiest way to win is better.
>The goal of For Honor is to kill enemy heroes
Correct, that is the goal of the game
>they are playing For Honor straightforwardly and simply
Absolutely wrong.
While they are achieving the goal, they are doing it in the most convoluted way they possibly could.
The actually way you'd achieve the goal "straightforwardly and simply", is by picking a hero, find an enemy hero, and press buttons until they die.
The only stuff you could add as a baseline is even knowing your character's moveset.
What they are doing is instead finding the best character to kill enemy heroes and optimizing chances of being placed with bad teammates by grouping with three people they know, who have also agreed to play said best character at killing enemy heroes.
This process is not "straightforward and simple", this is optimizing any fun out of the goal by figuring out the best way available for them to reach the goal as quickly and easily as possible with the most moving parts they can.
>What they are doing is instead finding the best character to kill enemy heroes and optimizing chances of being placed with bad teammates by grouping with three people they know, who have also agreed to play said best character at killing enemy heroes
This isn't convoluted, its just optimal. Cry more.
you literally couldnt win without pirate if you tried
and that is a fact
before pirate was added you were a Jiang Jun main
now you're a conqueror main
Dude Conq isn't even OP after his nerfs.
which is why you're back on pirate
going on youtube or reddit and searching "For Honor ***NEW!!!**** S+++ tier Heroes for EPIC pub stomp" is not being straightforward
being straightforward is launching the game, picking the character you think looks the coolest, and then trying to win or be cool in your gamemode of choice
>b- b- b- but I do think pirate looks cool! the coolest!
yeah ok
also
breach is the wannabe esports mode and pirate is for people who think "competitive" is the future for games like For Honor and TF2
you know
subhumans
Personally I think Aramusha is one of the coolest designed heroes.
I just really dig the big hat and dual swords.
I don't care I have no openner besides light spam or ring the bell or that my mix entirely lives or dies depending on if the enemy can block/parry.
>noooo stop playing like that i dont like it
>you cant play that hero its cheating
god freeze was right. fh is just full of petulant children
I'm not saying you shouldn't play like a certain way because it's "cheating".
I'm saying you shouldn't because when you do it makes you look like a massive homosexual.
The fact you're even defending someone gathering two other people who are willing to not only unlock/buy the character, get on a discord call with them, and then agree to all play said character who happens to be seen widely as the best character in the entire game shows how much of a massive homosexual you are.
you are bad
you play the easiest heroes because you are bad
you dont like getting called out for it
>god it's just like this YouTuber said, FH is full of pissbabies and incels and shittty frick you frick you aaaaaaah FRICK YOU INCEL
lol yeah ok jej
Freeze can suck my nuts. He acts exactly like them. I swear that if you mention Lawbringer to him, he will go apeshit.
playing pirate is pathetic
inshallah they will get whats coming to them whether by my hand or someone elses
I'm pretty sure you can win with only three.
are you really this bitter about videogames? do you have nothing else going on in your life you pathetic ubergay
yes I am this bitter
yes I have other things going on
frickin
highlanders
This conversation is giving me flashbacks to every Tribes thread where half of the posts were people b***hing about anyone who dared use hitscan weapons. The main purpose of generals has always been Anons crying about whatever killed them.

>tfw want to do a medic order
>but you're the least competent person on your team so you're the one who needs constant revival.
Literally just play solo dominion or breach vs ai to grind orders.
I can get all the 24 kills, 20 caps, 5 revives, kill 5 enemies without dying, etc. In one or two games.
I am only matched against lvl3 bots now but they are still dumb as bricks and can be cheesed.
I've found any level of bot on any character can easily be killed as Aramusha by just doing side heavy left and right over and over.
They're genuinely dumb as bricks.
How sorry is the state of the game right now? I saw that they added crossplay, must be hell for console players to have to deal with the rep 700 absolute sperglords we have on PC
Better than it's ever been, which is to say still incredibly janky. I'm PC so I can't speak from the POV of a console player but for me all crossplay means is that I get lobbies way faster and play against way less stacks. Pre-crossplay there was a certain time of night that if I'd queue up I'd get nothing but four stacks. I dunno what that was but it was painful, and for whatever reason now that phenomena no longer happens.
NEW SHIT
PIRATE NERF
RAIDER SKIN
HIGHLANDER BUFF
EGYPT WE WUZ HERO
Where did you see a highlander buff?
hold on I need to go back and get a time stamp
basically HL is getting a dodge attack in testing grounds
I dont have any finer details than that off the top of my head
That's pretty much all they said. They're just using his Celtic Curse animation as a dodge attack now (he's keeping Celtic Curse too). Similar to when they reused Shugoki's headbutt as a dodge attack.
Why are they giving everyone a dodge attack?
Is this some sort of meta joke by Ubisoft since they're *dodging* their responsibilities and *attacking* fans with their shit treatment.
>something something read based game something something skill issue
I think they should just bite the bullet and make dodge attacks standard. The guys who don't already have them need them. Not having a dodge attack fighting somebody like BP is a pain in the ass. It's just old design. Just like how they've been whittling down the number of people who don't get a heavy on a GB and standardizing that punish, upcoming reworks should add dodge attacks to those that don't have them.
lmao
lol
funny sphinx hammer
I thought it was funny to give all my Kangz Egypt inspired weapons when available
oh also part of the upcoming event is a version of dominion where theres no minions and instead just 3 regular capture points
damn cant send timestamp links for livestreams
basically the testing grounds discussion starts roughly 50 minutes into the stream
This isn't enough
very true
0_0
>raider skin is basically raider but with the undead curse from dark souls
p cool
I'd rather have an anglo saxon raider but Ill take it
I'm a kensei main, but I've spent so much fricking steel on crates for Raider because I just want the Horkos chest and the Chimera arms for the look I want for him. Why does the game taunt me by giving me every other piece but those two?
>spending steel on anything except a hero you want and outfits for effects or ornaments
shame on you
also get some antlers on your helmet fool
damn fool
if you had some antlers you'd never get hit ever again or suffer a wound
Just popping by to ask does anyone have the image of Centurion about to fist a twink wearing a toga while shouting INCREDIBILIS?
I'd like to point out since nobody else has said it
>Jiang Jun received a change
>it was a buff
amazing
>bloodlust nerfed because of pirate
>attack/defense bonus down to 20% from 50%
shit. i mean it was probably too strong but was one of the main reasons i love valk
I LOVE HALF MY TEAM BECOMING BOTS 2 MINUTES INTO A MATCH IT FEELS TOTALLY GOOD AND NOT A WASTE OF TIME
Now that crossplay is a thing Ubi needs to make two changes:
>No more starting matches with bots.
That was understandable when it might add another few minutes to the queue on PC but it is absolutely unacceptable now that we've got like triple the playerbase. Only start games with 8 players in them. I am shocked that starting a game with up to three (!) bots is still a thing.
>Allow players to join games in progress at any point.
Currently, after about 90 seconds or so (I forget the exact time) games become unjoinable, which essentially guarantees a loss. This is particularly painful in Breach, when you can be stuck with a bot in a doomed game for 20+ minutes. Now, with a significantly larger playerbase, Ubi needs to allow people to fill at any point and award them with something like triple steel/gear/XP afterwards to take the sting out of it. I'd be happy to join a game that's a minute from losing if I got three games' worth of rewards out of it. Awarding extra steel or whatever costs Ubi literally nothing and is an easy way to buy some player satisfaction.
>BONUS CHANGE THAT UBI IS CLEARLY NOT ACTUALLY CAPABLE OF IMPLEMENTING:
Fix the fricking leaving penalty so that if I close For Honor from the task manager it actually detects that and gives me a penalty. Also, double the time. Or maybe apply a debuff to your account where you get less rewards from matches for the next day or so. Or both. Make it actually sting.
>Fix the fricking leaving penalty
As someone who has to vpn to another country to get matches in anything thats not dominion. I hate the leave penalty. Every now and then I will fail to load a match and the game automatically gives me the leave penalty when i've done nothing wrong. For the longest time I couldn't even grind ranked duels for ornaments. Because of a failed load, or loading in only to get kicked and smacked with the penalty. There are also times when pulling the plug is the best option. Like a team of bots in breach as you mentioned. A ridicules' 4stack vs you and noobs. You suffer for 20+ minutes with no upside.
Opinions on Warmonger? Is she just a powercrept Warden or does she do her own thing, I can buy a new hero, dunno whether to get Warmonger, Gryphon, Pirate or Kyoshin. I like characters that are fun but i dont want my victories to feel unearned so i dont think i'll get pirate.
Warmonger feels like a more fluid Warden.
Bought Warmonger because there atleast seemed to be some difference unlike Gryphon who literally has the same animations as Lawbringer/JJ, I feel dirty just thinking about buying Pirate and i don't really like Kyoshin's design.
I will shill my favorite bottom tier
maximum fun having while climbing the skill curve
get Highlander
>crushing counters in all directions (a well timed light attack that blocks an incoming light or heavy and deliveres an unblockable light that deals extra damage)
>flow between two forms, defensive and offensive
>have enhanced 400ms lights, unblockable heavies, a bash, and a grab while in offensive form
>tons of hyperarmor in defensive form
>cancelling out of dodge recoveries by guard switching in offensive form "wave dash"
he's got an antiquated moveset from a time when this game was about reaction and not reading so youll have to get gud to do gud
but oh man
getting gud enough to be a nearly unhittable wavedashing hulk is so fun
you will get absolutely booty pounded while learning though
and you're basically fricked if you get ganked since your entire offensive moveset becomes unusable for the most part
be the big sword man
she is literally just warden but with a better moveset and punishes
also some of the most busted and anti-fun feats in the game
up there with oath breaker
I mostly played in team games and release Warmonger was enough for me to finally uninstall and be free.
she has objectively the strongest feat lineup in the game
she gets a T4 feat as her T1
the strongest actual T4 feat in the game
TWO (2) passives that make her T1 and T4 feats even more ridiculous, one being a vampiric passive and the other a damage boost
she's a better warden with a lower skill floor and higher skill ceiling
which one lads?
more helmet and hair or more beard?
Antlers are pretty cringe. I like the hydra or gryphon or whatever that is on the cape, but the underlying pattern is way too busy. You should swap the chest (to change the cape) or drop the emblem.
I thought they were adding two more heroes to the pirate faction this year, when do we get to hear about the next one?
we're getting the next one in late july
it's going to be an egyptian hero with a big weird crescent moon axe / fan thing
very weird looking weapon
Source your ass or was there an actual leak?
A Kang would be hilarious because I think I would have to make them white
here
That shadow looks like shitnobi doing the arms crossed animation, but it could be cool if true
it's literally the shadow of the new at the end of the Y6 S2 reveal trailer
why tf would it be shinobi and not the new hero
malding at the warriors den 23 damage (with shield basher feat) 500ms conq bash that chains into infinite unblockable heavy chain.
ubi saw that players don't like neutral bashes and unblockable spam and and decided conq should have both, while reworking shaolin in the most homogenized and uninspiring way possible.
everybody must have everything
everything must powercreep
everybody gets a dodge attack
and an infinite chain
and recovery cancels
and a neutral bash
and feintable unblockables
read based game btw if you cant keep up it means you're bad btw skill issue
Who here is actually looking forward for Egyptian JJ
not at all
it's gonna some new brand of broken shitty homosexual cancer
the devs dont even think pirate is OP
>that pathetic excuse for a nerf
new hero will launch at the upper end of S tier and remain in S tier for at least a full year even if they get """nerfed""" once or twice
>so heres our new egypt hero
>so they have a side dodge heavy with hyperarmor and an extended dodge property
>you can cancel out of this dodge attack at any point in the animation by entering another dodge attack (can be any direction including a forward dodge attack)
>unblockable heavy opener that can be soft feinted to guardbreak
>unblockable heavy finisher that can be soft feinted to guardbreak
>an infinite alternating light chain
>4 completely broken as frick feats that overshadow all other feats available so much it makes you question why even bother giving a choice of feats in the first place when they clearly just want to make overwatch characters
it's gonna suck
Slavic armor when?
I didn't even know Slavs had armor. I thought they just wore burlap sacks.
Anima armor is kino
>next event is slavic mythology related
>que witcher music
>the new outlander is geralt
>or a horseless winged hussar, who knows
Gryphon has some early Kievan Rus armor
Why?
Because he's using a bardiche and vikings founded the Kievan Rus
I doubt that was lost in the first place. Just another example of white men taking credit where it doesn't belong.
Oh that's a good one, saved for shitposting.
new conq is literally 2x more cancer than raider or shigoki
>conq can execute off of bash
I don't think this is a good idea
I play Peacekeeper so it's like a ryona game. Even if I get executed it's just hot. Literally cannot lose.
This is why enjoy fighting against female raiders, black ones in particular.
You have a black woman fetish?
Don't you?
I am an avid viewer of interracial lesbian pornography. Don't understand why, since it's oddly specific, though that doesn't matter.
>lesbian
Pass but to each their own, it's maledom for me.
Disgusting.
New Shaolin. Fresh out of dominion...what do you think?
anoying as frick
>that new faster sweep
>if you dodge too soon it hits you
>if you dodge too late it hits you
>he can feint it and GB
>even if you dodge it correctly it doesnt actually have a recovery so you cant GB him or even land some bashes because he will light immediately after you dodge the sweep
he is nasty and definitely high A tier and maybe S but I cant say for sure yet
new conq is fricking stupid and turbo cancer
literally as bad as prenerf rework shinobi
absolutely S tier
a monster
I meant the outfit. I am aware him and conq are cancer but the shaolin had 9 reps in him before his rework anyhow
he can repeatedly sweep to confirm a heavy which leads into a sweep which confirms a heavy which leads into a sweep which confirms a heavy which leads into a sweep which confirms a heavy
I know it's a dead horse at this point but what a waste pirate is
>could have gotten a blackbeard pirate with a big bushy beard
>stabbing with peg leg is part of the moveset
>tons of different long coats and beards and hats for cosmetics
but noooo we had to get muh epic girlboss genderfluid chinese pirate
what a letdown
and from Ubisoft, the company that produced AC Black Flag
disgusting
They probably started designing the character as a wu lin first, hence they needed to make them chinese, and then came up with outlanders later. I assume this because of that screenshot where people spotted a pistol execution and the wu lin icon showing five heroes.
we got a belligerent wolf illustrious outfit
where is the belligerent cat
This new update is quite good. Which is surprising, due to Ubisoft's bad track record of bad updates and releasing overpowered heroes that it's probably a business model.
the gamemode is a gem and is frankly way more fun than regular dom
the character changes are just another part of an established trend
>all heroes must be able to pubstomp by button mashing
I fear for what they're gonna do to Nuxia and Highlander
So what's the deal with new conqueror now?
Bash is just as much of a crutch however now he can kill you in 7 instead of 25
extremely spammable bash that can be used like shugoki's headbutt as a sort of dodge bash
and
heres the important part
the power creep part
an actual genuine infinite unblockable chain heavy
you can just throw unblockable heavies forever until you run out of stamina
unblockable heavies and bashes that can be feinted
I genuinely don't understand the point of highlander anymore
offensive form is basically just a meme for wavedashing now
if you want to spam bashes and unblockables just play conq or hito
literally no reason beyond fashion and memes to play highlander after this update
>the flail uppercut deals heavy hit stun, not something we see too often
>this forces the followup orange heavy to be a true 50:50 where you either have to parry or read the feint to GB
>the feint to GB catches the start up frames of a light if the defender tries to stuff the GB
>the side orange heavies have absurd hitboxes outside of the model
So if you were to land a superior block, then uppercut, then target swap and exterior heavy the same opponent so that the attack cannot be parried, with shield basher in 4s conq is a monster, add to that the Aramusha tier 400ms fullblock startup and the superior block light riposte being the ultimate peel tool, a 360 guaranteed unblockable and that conq has access to an INFINTE ORANGE chain, he's a wee bit stronger than he should be, but better than he was atleast
oh man I really hate fighting Shaolin
Everyone complains about Conqueror but Shaolin is the one that makes me want to stop playing this game.
I just got a warning on the main menu for "AFK farming"
I'm getting closer boys
soon Ill be banned
and Ill be free
There is no freedom.
dont be so blackpilled
I just need a few more of pic related to report me and then I'm free whether I like it or not
I always assume those are jokes. No chance in hell gays and the like play this game in such large population
>a niche dressup game where you can fight bots
It's no wonder there are a few of them. The reason it seems like a lot is because like 90% of trannies basically live on the internet playing videogames and grooming kids on discord.
I shall spam "homosexual" and win with Centurion
I wish I was still able to play Cent, I couldn't cope after the changes
this game used to be fun
Fun is sissy gay shit. Emphasising the competitive aspect was the right thing to do.
>Futa Connoisseur
>Iron Cross trans flag
These are memers surely
they have a competitive clan tag in their names
I don't know what EGA stands for but that's definitely what it is
likely unironic and they believe For Honor is a competitive game with a future in esports
>NTR Knight
Please play bare bellied shugoki
if I remember right he was playing warden
make of that what you will
trans bad Ganker told me so
Their ideology is nothing more than an opinion, which is getting push like it's predicated on fact. It's an opinion because language is a social construct, we assign meaning to words consciously and (more often) subconsciously.
I don't care how someone expresses themselves, the only issue I have with transgenderism is the semantics being used. I, and most others, believe a man and a woman is an adult human male and an adult human female, respectively. While these terms are tricky to define, all terms are if you approach them with the same level of criticality.
I believe they should focus their attention on dismantling connotations of man and woman. If these connotations didn't exist, then they wouldn't feel the need to use these labels in the way they're pushing for.
Ganker told me so
responding earnestly to obvious bait is a good way to pick up a temp ban
just ignore Xir (him (her (him*~~ and remain on topic
Get a load of this Shaolin poster.
speaking of shaolin
it's kind of a shame how they have no idea what balance
they dont know what it means to have strengths and weaknesses in harmony in a character
shaolin was so weak before, so weak that some of his kit was normally useless
but now he's so fricking safe and spammy
he's supposed to be a stance character, a type of character that demands a lot more skill to actually use effectively but with big rewards for learning
but now you can just mash the shit out of your controller like a moron and get pretty good consistent results
>sweep will connect if dodged too early
>sweep will connect if dodged too late
>sweep can be feinted to a guardbreak very late into the animation, allowing you to punish dodge attempts almost on reaction
>even if they correctly dodge it and you fail to read or react to their dodge you aren't even subject to a recovery
>you are allowed to immediately followup with a light attack
the sweep isn't a 50/50
it's like a 20/80
the victim either gets swept and eats a heavy
or gets guardbroken and eats a heavy
and what can the victim do? anticipate the followup light attack afterward and parry it? the shaolin can instead just not light attack and avoid punishment all together
also not to mention the fact that the heavy followup to the sweep can immediatly lead into another sweep in an infinite chain of sweeps and sweep mixups
Fighting him with a character who lacks a dodge attack is pain.
My strategy has been to hope they get too sweep happy and drain their stamina then apply pressure.
I really wish they'd stop giving everyone dodge attacks.
before Shaolin was a weak stance hero with some interesting S tier feats
now he's an S tier 50/50 mixup spamming c**t with those same S tier feats
Very reasonable changes. Conq will still be good but he was seriously nuts.
>didnt remove the ability to perform an unparriable unblockable heavy
otherwise good changes
The problem there was that it was unparryable, unblockable, AND undodgeable (due to heavy hitstun). Removing the heavy hitstun means you can dodge out of it now if he tries to external you with an unblockable heavy after a bash heavy. Unless there's some other thing I'm not aware of.
I would have gotten rid of the fast flow into all guard from bash but this is a decent start
Shaolin's rework is kind of disappointing
he was a very cool hero before, but definitely weak and in need of some love
but now he feels brainless
I hope he gets reigned in a bit, but I'm somehow doubtful that he will
Giving him dodge out of qi stance, and being able to chain from his dodge attack was really all he needed. Maybe the faster qi lights too. Everything else is extra shit no one wanted. They should have also tweaked his third feat after Qi stance buffs.
>They should have also tweaked his third feat after Qi stance buffs.
for real
he's the strongest "healer" in the game right now for that feat alone
FRICK
I really wish he wasn't so "for honor in 2022"
his feats are so cool
>stealth on a non-assassin character
>teleport to any enemy in lock range
>passively heal yourself and teammates for doing stuff from your stance
>teleport to any teammate from anywhere on the map
thats so fricking cool
but now he's just.... mangled by ubi devs
Thus is the fate of every modern rework. The most nonsensical part was removing his unblockable...for what reason? The fat dev said something about it being irrelevant or something, unbelievable. I wasn't a shaolin main, only dabbled, but I hate how they give heroes gimmick ass moves that their whole kit comes to. First sickle rain for shinobi, gay ass sweep for shaolin. Qi stance WAS the gimmick
I'm moronic, how do you deal with the reworked Shaolin anyway?
just parry it bro
unless your talking about dealing with the sweep and the associated feints
in which case
JUST READ IT BRO
what?
you arent bad are you?
you're telling me you can't correctly guess the 50/50 coinflip every time?
I dunno bro
sounds like a skill issue to me
Is it worth picking this up during the sale?
I usually play Mordhau but it's dying.
People say it's like a fighting game which sounds cool, I usually play 2D fighters.
it's """like""" a lot of things, but overall I'd say For Honor is very unique as games go
the balance is at all times completely thrown where there are some characters that are objectively the best
but other than that it is a fun game with engaging mechanics and great fashion whether you're a knight, a snowmonkey, a weeb, or a bug man
Neat
Should I buy the base game and frick around before upgrading or just buy the full bundle?
Yeah. It takes an annoyingly long time to buy characters and items and all that, but almost everything is unlockable with in game money so you don't have to spend actual money if you got time and patience.
if you HAVE* time
definitely just the base game
Buy the base game. You can unlock all characters with in game currency. If you do the all orders for XP and 'steel' (the in game currency) by fighting solo vs the ai (you can do this for all game modes) you will quickly start to amass steel, and rep up heroes. It will also give you a taste of the game. Before you jump in and get stomped by certain heroes, or players that know what they are doing.
For Honor is like a fighting game, in that you need a special sort of autism. To learn the heroes, movesets, attack properties, punishes, mechanics that the game never explains etc.
Its a pretty cinematic game, animations are great and its very emotive. You can see when people frick up, fumble an input, panic. It adds a ton of immersion.
Dressing up your fantasy hero is honestly half the reason I play this game. You can get pretty creative, i've spent hundreds of hours just trying to make cool looking shit.
>You can unlock all characters with in game currency. If you do the all orders for XP and 'steel' (the in game currency) by fighting solo vs the ai (you can do this for all game modes) you will quickly start to amass steel,
I bought the game some months ago. Getting steel even if you complete all orders takes fricking ages, I'd suggest anyone with legitimate interest in the game to just buy the complete edition on sale (even though it doesn't even include all heroes).
You get at least 700 steel a day from completing daily orders. There's also those orders that appear every two days and a match is 50 steel. It doesn't take that long.
Though, getting a specific visual you want is ridiculous, especially if it's a old hero that has many visuals. They should give you the option of outright buying a visual with steel. But, Ubisoft likely generate enough revenue from impulse and impatience that adding the option would lower their revenue.
Words cannot express how much I still hate pirate.
They say love and hate are closely related. Perhaps you're mistaking hate for love?
Let me think about it.
Nah, definitely hate.
>havok: look at this edgy dude, abyss dragon, fricking edgy kid

Why are FH youtubers such autists?

I bought the game.
Pretty neat, having fun mostly although I don't really know what I'm doing.
Not enjoying the mouse controls though, when I get hit I honestly can't tell if I'm just bad or if the mouse moved slightly away and blocked the wrong side.
Is controller recommended or should I just nut up and figure it out with mouse?
Pretty much everyone I know is playing on controller, and those that played on KBM before said they had an easier time after switching to controller. If you have one, I'd give it a try.
Aight thanks anon.
dominion truly is the most fun game mode I love it so much!
I'm reinstalling after not playing since 2018 or so. Gods help me.
You are in for some serious shit. Who was the last hero release when you played?
Which character requires the most skill?
Depends on how you define skill.
This game is just a series of making predictions. Before that, it was a staring contest.
where the FRICK is the new hero
>Go to control point with warden against one lawbringer
>Warden tries to act "honorable" in fricking dominion and not gank
>Lawbringers teamates show up and actually play the game
>End up dying and warden gets ledged by lawbringer
teamates are glorified pikemen in this fricking game
Hope you reported the Warden for griefing.
Being honorable is "griefing" to you?
There is no honor in Dominion.
You just haven't found it.
When the FRICK is the reveal
When did they show off pirate again?
>his idea of honor is going 1v1
>there are actual 1v1 modes but he doesn't want to play them
>instead he goes to 4v4 to force 1v1 in there
>person who 1v1s in dominion is sent back in time
>be defending a fort from invaders
>stands and watches as his brother in arms is murdered because he didn't want to step into the 1v1
>manages to defend the fort
>is later executed anyway because he was spotted standing by and doing nothing
Remember kids, the honorable thing to do is to defend your brothers in arms to the very end, not stand idly by.
What about Rocky IV?
Rocky let Apollo Creed die from Drago, was that wrong?
The peak of honor is to go Orochi and just light into the enemy's external guard once to apply a revenge tag, then Kiai your team mate to OOS them and run away. That way not only do they get to 1v1 the enemy but if they win they know they really earned it.
for me it's flipping teammates with valk sweep
If I see a teammate in a 1v1 I enter offensive stance and repeatedly throw kicks until the opponent gets revenge, dies, or I run out if stamina
I wouldn't want to abandon a friend in dire need of assistance now would I?
honor? pfffft you pansies dont know the meaning
pic related is real honor
god loves them
Reasonable changes, I'm for it.
Any word on crossplay parties? I got this for dirt cheap ages ago and a buddy was asking me to play it but he thought it was full crossplay. No point installing it until full crossplay is out, fricking thing is massive.
No timeline. They confirmed it's in the works but other than that we have no info.
More so than cross play parties I'm most interested in getting to see who is PlayStation and who is Xbox wirh respective symbols instead of just the Ubisoft logo
I have always suspected that the PlayStation players are the biggest subhumans and would love to see that suspicion confirmed
Curb that toxicity anon. Enjoy the fricking game.
no frick off
Be better person.
How the frick do I stop playing this game
>I have 1200 hours and maybe enjoy 1 match out of 10 post orochi & raider reworks, pirate release and now shit show that is conq
>I am always matched up with sub 150 rep shitters against 300+ 4 stacks
>I leave games the second I realize my team have no chance of winning
>I report basically everyone if I feel the fight was even slightly unfair or report enemies and teammates out of spite
>I've destroyed 2 controllers, 2 keyboards, and broken the internal mechanisms for my recliner by kicking the absolute shit out of them in rage
This fricking game man. Unless I'm in the perfect mood and parrying lights on reaction. Bullshit just seems to snowball, which makes me angrier and angrier.
only play duels
everytime you lose a match do 10 pushups (or exercise of choice)
don't just load back in after a frustrating experience
focus your anger into being productive instead of letting the rage build up
Honestly not a bad idea, since I'm in the same boat as that anon and can't stop playing the game either I might as well channel my frustrations into something productive.
>everytime you lose a match do 10 pushups (or exercise of choice)

Good idea anon. I'm gonna have to do this. I am fine losing in duels, because its due to me fricking up, or getting out skilled. Dominion is full of such bullshit for a solo que though. The only reason I play dominion is because its the most efficient for xp/battle points.
>angrier and angrier
You can't control emotions, however you can influence them with physical and mental action. Though, the safest and easiest approach of deescalating frustration (a short-term anger) is mental inaction.
It's really sad how many promises weren't kept. When For Honor first came out, they said they were going to regularly have new heroes and new factions but all these years later, we only have the Chinese, who don't even get an army, and the new faction is going to be miscellaneous heroes...starting with a Chinese pirate. Really thinking outside the box here.
I bet the New Hero is just going to be a fricking mongol or something, since they're petrified of adding anything unique.
There should be an Egyptian hero coming at the end of the month.
>Egyptian
Ugh… brown people.
choose the whitest skin color
i see way to many jet black vikings and asians
They confirmed that he will be the first skin color-locked hero.
>Vikings? OF COURSE THERE WERE BLACK VIKINGS!
>Egyptian Pharaohs? stfu racist there have only ever been jet black skinned kings in Egypt and the skin color options will reflect that you fricking chud
Just spent all my steel on jorm cosmetics.
I once spent 10,000 steel and 6 crates on a shield visual for Valkyrie. Didn't roll it.
Though, I did eventually get it some time after.
Crates are a fricking scam
20 hours in so far
Feels like 5 hours actually playing the rest spent on loading screens holy frick they're worse than GTA.
Trying out a bunch of characters, did okay then picked Jiang Jun and I'm wrecking ass all of a sudden. Is he that good or have I just found a playstyle that clicks with me?
Jiang Jun is one of the strongest characters in the game and a must-pick in tournaments. Nothing saying his playstyle can't also click with you, though. If you like him, keep at him. But yes, you've correctly identified him as really strong.
John June is literally the single strongest character in the game in 4v4
okay maybe new Conqueror is stronger, but Jiang Jun has been the best character for a long fricking time

he's disgustingly good
Why is the "FOR HONOR" logo in copper?
That's literally the shittest material, no one picks that. It's like a metaphor for Ubisoft's treatment of the IP.
I can't stand this guys voice.
The vocal fry is ridiculous.
he definitely is a scrawny dude doing a "podcast" voice
and he might be overproducing his audio
also he's a dirty ass coomer
but other than that he understand that fun isn't just about winning no matter what and that playing overpowered heroes makes you gay and a sweaty and a b***h
shaolin is fun.
hahahaha holy shit that's the most creative thing I've seen in FH in like a year
genius tactic
you're a fricking genius, that was like something out of a campy martial arts movie where the main character somehow materialises behind their opponent
I really miss when this game was a staring contest. I don’t give a frick if it was a parry fest or unbalanced then, it felt more like a sword fighting game.. watching the preview gameplay trailers of FH make me sad compared to the magic joke execution confetti esports shit the game became.
I rarely even see anyone use the joke executions
That means they aren’t there, moron. You win.
You think you do, but you don't. The game was trash for a long time before it became what it is today: less trash.
oh boy I cant wait for another new hero
surely it wont release like the others right haha weeee
>remembering pirate launch
>remembering gryphon launch
>remembering warmonger launch
I can't wait to get aids
I cant wait to drown in a sea of unblockables, infinite chains, and bashes
I find it kind of funny Kyoshin isn't on that list. Though, I remember him feeling a little on the weak side at launch admittedly.
I'd just like to say that only 1 in 50 console players are capable of doing more than just mashing whatever bash combo they have available
it is no wonder this game survived so long on console given the state of balance
it's just a really really bad (easy) fighting game that is somewhat redeemed by the medieval / sengoku dressup
I'd really like them to make the current pick rates public.
I swear I see a centurion every fricking game.
INCREDIBILIS was funny the first thousand times but it's old now.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveForHonor/comments/vcv4ob/unofficial_state_of_balance_y6s1/
Recently compiled player data from before the recent balance changes. The thread has data for dominion/duels and also shows that PC players on average are worse than console players.
Personally I don't see Cent very often, I wonder how different the pick rate is between regions or if it's just my memory fooling me.
Shouldn't Warden be higher?
Warden hasn't been particularly good in any mode for a while. There was a period of time where he was one of the best duelists, but his rework is old at this point and the game has moved on. Meanwhile his shit feats and minimal teamfighting ability have locked him out of the 4v4 modes since forever. Warden hasn't gotten any worse, but the rest of the cast has just gotten better.
>hitokiri
and some people say Hito isn't a braindead easy S tier
>Wu Lin taking the top and bottom
Lights should be removed from the game.
What else am I going to spam?
AD MORTEM INIMICUS
GIVE HIGHLANDER A HEAVY ON GUARDBREAK
YOU FUUUUUUUCKS
What's the most obnoxious execution to BM with?
Both Death Metal Triangle and Unarmed Fighter have the distinction of being really stupid and tied for the longest executions available to all heroes. If you want the absolute longest execution currently available it's Ware Shinaba, available to all Samurai except Kyoshin, and clocks in at just over seventeen seconds long.
The triangle one is perfect.
>Jiang Jun
>darkest skin color
>the most obnoxious color palette possible
>triangle exec
>assassin hay bale emote spam on corpse after
yep it's Black person time
the kick to death one with the spit at the end
the bell one
the triangle one
the crossbow bolt catch
anything that makes your opponent's character do something humiliating or weak
anything that would be gratuitously disrespectful or dishonorable in real life
anything that takes FOREVER
Any of the executions that take 10+ seconds to perform and make the receiving character do something moronic.
In fighting games like this, the most frustrating thing is having your agency removed. A long-ass execution is basically the pinnacle of 'Haha frick you for even trying to play the game, homosexual'.
>my character vs their character
I work hard for the wins
Highlander is honest work
im suprised they havent just patched out cringebringer
I play gladiator and I want to cry every game.
At least you get cheeky ledges with deflects. I guess Zerker can do that too though and he's a lot better.
gladiator is very annoying to fight as highlander
Who isn't annoying to fight as Highlander, he sucks.
You suck
Highlander is my favorite character.
He also sucks because of powercreep.
warden, lawbringer, cent, and warlord
>no dodge attack so kick to caber lands 90% of the time
very easy to bully
Dodge attacks should be removed from the game, imo. Anyone who has them doesn't need them and anyone who doesn't have them gets dumpstered by those that do.
why the frick does Hitokiri have a dodge attack?
Because Hitokiri needs to be good at everything.
um um uhh le cuhmpetitif experianse ummmm l'e-spors uh umm
frick gladiator Black folk

He's a b***h homie stealing gladiators gimmick
Same but I cry because I'm simply bad at the game.
>the ubisoft servers are not available :^)
Every time I load the game this little homosexual just sits there and gives me this stupid look on his face.
I just reinstalled and man I'm having some real awful matches. Just stomp after stomp after stomp on either side. There's not even any console players in these matches as far as I can tell. Is this just how the game is now?
That's strange
The ratio of pc to console is like 10:1
what character are you playing?
if you aren't whoring out your soul on the broken S tiers you're basically agreeing to lose
You don't understand I won half of my matches but they were still effortless stomps. Fricking boring, seems matchmaking has somehow got even worse
matchmaking did literally get worse
after cross play began ALL mmr got globally reset
so you had people of all skill levels in the same lobbies
add that to the problem of some characters being waaaaay more moron friendly
so yeah
MMR has been a mess for months and will continue to be a mess
it might be a little better if Jiang Jun, Pirate, and Raider weren't in the game, but even then only a little
Everybody other than myself is running autoblock/parry scripts.
This is a fact.
I believe it
it's true i am the script.
Technically, the brain runs on scripts. So you're right.
That's the only way I can explain how people can light parry
Haven't played for very long.
When a new character drops is every lobby full of them as people try them out?
Am I going to have to deal with hundreds of Kangz when this guy is released?
Yes. I'll make mine white at the very least
yes there will lobbies where you are the only person not playing the new overpowered Magi hero
also it's supposedly skin tone locked so as not to be racist to black people that think Egyptians were black
>supposedly
I don't think anything but the name has been leaked so far, rest is just speculation.
If you guys see a PC player named "GRIFITH" do the needful and call him a Black person
I'd like this game a lot better if the only heroes were the Knight faction ones.
>
OH NO NO NO PFFFFFFFFFFAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DO KBlack folk REALLY? OH MY DAYS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Looks great.
For satisfying my characters craving for bussy that is.
Is this worth getting into as a beginner in the current year?
Eh...it can be fun but 80% of games I play are filled with the 8 highest tier characters in the game and you'll occasionally get yelled at for not doing to same robotic gank patterns over and over.
the*, not to. my bad
It's the only game like it, so if you want this kind of third-person multiplayer swordfighting you don't really have a choice. The core combat is unique and fun. The game, despite being six years old, still looks gorgeous, and although the animations have been through a lot (sped up, chopped up, repurposed for other heroes, etc), they're still pretty looking. The game looks and feels great. However, it's still Ubishit, and the game is filled with design decisions that will have you questioning your sanity. The UI is a mess. Bots are moronic and after a certain point the game just won't replace them. There are some extremely longstanding bugs.
Most of all, the game is pretty dense at this point, with a cast that's more than doubled since its release, and--like a fighting game--it's very important for you to understand what your opponent is capable of in order to make good in-game decisions. This means that there's almost certainly going to be a fairly extended period of time where you're fighting somebody and they do something that their character can do, but yours can't, and it leaves you thinking "what the FRICK was that?" and you go google them or play them in training just to understand how you died. It's going to be a slog.
That being said, there's literally nothing like this on the market, and despite my shit talk this is still one of the very few games I actually spend time on these days. Outside of VR, For Honor and Mordhau are the only two games capable of scratching my swordfighting itch. It's a good game, just know what you're getting into.
The biggest hurdle is the one that every old fighting game has, learning dozens of match ups. It can be quite daunting.
I basically got into it a month before pirate got announced
It was frickin rough
but ultimately you learn what characters can do and find yourself doing cool shit to people and suddenly you can actually enjoy it casually
I highly recommend picking up FH on sale
once you have the game I'd recommend playing the campaign all the way through both for the free currency as well as getting used to the controlls
after you're done with the campaign do the training specific to a given character you're interested in so you actually know what you can do
if they make Highlander's kick and grab feintable it'll be frickin over
nothing will able to the scot at that point
he will be invincible
*stop the scot
well said
I like highlander because it's like playing a homeless man just spouting gibberish as he fights.
Is Peacekeeper really as bad as they say?
Only in 4's
What about 2s?
if by 2s you mean 1v1 & 1v1 shes okay. if its a proper 2v2 or any team game shes shit, unless you coordinate with a nobu or shaman. PK has no external pressure, no bash, and needs a target to be bleeding for her unblockables to work. otherwise enemies can external block forever and you have no way of dealing damage. that being said i think she is fun if you play like an assassin. ie take the stealth feat in 4s and hunt down lone players, hide near ledges or outside of captured zones to ambush people. basically PK is a worse shaman
she's literally the worst 4v4 character
she's also one of the strongest duelists in the game
it's kind of insane the massive disconnect in her effectiveness based on mode
I'm afraid for when they eventually buff because even if it's just some small stuff intended to raise her 4v4 strength it'll probably just end making her the best duel hero outright
PLEASE UBISOFT DON'T GIVE HER ANY FEINTABLE BASHES OR NEW FEINTABLE UNBLOCKABLES
>your teammates when they see you pin someone with skewer or bite
How prevalent is cheating in FH really?
Because in most other games regardless of how ridiculous someone is I just assume that yes they are that good.
But this game does something to me and not in a good way.
every PC player who kills me is cheating
>t. PC player
but actually I have no idea how prevalent cheats are
but they definitely exist and have since the game came out
>autoblock
>autoparry
>auto CC
>automatic black prior flips
to name the common ones
theres probably also wallhacks, but those are really only worth anything if you're playing in a 4 stack in some troony discord server
>Run into players lag switching every now and then. Its pretty obvious.
>1 Gryphon who somehow had no attack animations, just indicators. Never seen that before or since.
>Some BP players run auto-flip scripts. I think I may have fought one, he wasn't flipping everything. Just a very suspicious animation cancel insta-flip.
That's all in 1100 hours. So not that prevalent or at least not in my region
inb4 it's all a ruse and he uses a khopesh
surely not right?
also what feats do you think a magic egyptian magi mage person will have
probably some more weird magic shit like warmonger or gryphon
>tier 4 is "plague" and just applies corruption to every enemy on the map for 10 minutes + their balls shrink by 10% with every use
I cant wait for cancer
Tier 1 is pocket sand from the Sahara that functions as a worse smoke bomb
If he doesn't have some kind of knockoff "force push" style ability that unbalances enemies I'll eat my shoe. That's the most low hanging fruit of magic powers.
>a completely undodgeable unblockable AoE Tiandi kick
I can already imagine the absurd ledge ability
What would you like to see in FH2?
Would you want the combat revamped entirely now that Ubisoft knows their demographic?
Personally I want dominion to go and stay go. Replace it with mordhau/chiv style objectives with big lobbies.
I dont think anyone else wants it but I'd love to a singleplayer For Honor RPG
something like witcher or an elder scrools title
or dark souls
I dunno
I really like For Honor's core mechanics even if Ubisoft are too fricking incompetent to respect the cornerstones of what is supposed to make it balanced
that or some weird MMORPG type deal with dungeons and raids
theyve never implemented any non humanoid characters so Im not sure how that'd go
The new Gothic remake is using a similar system IIRC, and that has non human enemies in it.
We've had wolves and elephants in the campaign, the former attack the player as a quick offscreen attack that acts as a reaction check(by launch FH standards), you could have them act as a pin when not guarded, a bash when blocked and ignored when parried. The elephant was a gimmick where you taunted it in an arena to attack enemies and batter down a gate, have this be the basis of a raid boss where ranged attacks like feats are used to damage and you need to bait an attack to get more out of a box.
now that you say it I remember the elephant
which campaign had a lion???
wait you didnt mention a lion
I am going insane
I unironically want them to lean into the MOBA aspect more.
Because the game in its current state is so similar to fighting games it has the same problem where new players or bad players get pushed out by good players.
If it was more MOBA-esque the shitters could play characters intended solely as healers/support.
But MOBAs have a similar barrier of entry because you still have to learn scores of match ups, lane/minion mechanics etc.
I have literally never seen anyone with this emblem play anything cool
and especially never seen one play Lawbringer or Highlander which I would have thought would be an obvious choice for them
European knights just aren't edgy enough.
I dunno you make lawbringer pretty edgy
definitely something in berserk territory armor wise
*can make
>fighting jorm in duels
>if you get below 40% stamina you've basically lost the round
haha very fun haha funny hammer slam balls haha
>ummmmm but jorm is bad
yeah in dom
I should wait till rep 7 on a character before opening crates right?
Rep 8 is the most efficient. 7 is when you start to get teal weapons, 8 is when you start getting exclusively teal weapons. So if you want to get the most perks for your buck, wait until 8.
Dang okay ty anon.
The grind is pretty harsh, it's worse than warframe.
Wait until at least rep 12
Why 12?
DEEZ NUTS
I will not deez nuts.
that's the rep were you start getting mostly 4 star teal equipment instead of regular teal or 2 star teal
just exercise some patience and wait till rep 12 ya homo
>4 star teal equipment instead
functionally useless nobody gives a shit about gearscore or having 4 pips intead of 2
most players dont even min max perks
I like my pips
new hero reveal
STANCE HERO
Looks good.
Did anyone catch if we can make the new guy white during the reveal?
no mention but surely it would be ridiculous if we couldnt
right?
This is going to suck for Cent until he's getting his dodge attack next season.
stamina bullying is horseshit and nobody deserves it, no matter limited their kit otherwise is
I agree but I still would have preferred it if he got his dodge attack to compensate for his loss of oos bullying right away instead of in 2 months.
this doesnt affect you if your OOS pressure never knock them down
Didn't his knock down attack already refill enemy stamina?
Yeah, which makes it even funnier that they used Centurion on stream to demonstrate the change. All that changes for him is that you can't keep enemies out of stamina as long as before since his punches won't stop stamina regeneration anymore, it's really not that big of a deal.
>ally would rather do his dumb 30 second execution animation than come revive me before reinforcements arrive
stop treating console players as equals in your mind
they're just bots
they can't even speak or type
stop expecting a revive or semblance of good decision making
(I hate console players btw)
The console player can only communicate with an emote, truly primitive...
Here's a question, why the FRICK does Lawbringer get to impale>wallsplat>top heavy as a HEAVY parry riposte? He's the only hero that, albeit with a caveat, can still get a heavy attack from a heavy parry
the game is all over the place with shit like this
>highlander doesn't get a heavy punish for gb or light parry
>shaman can bleed soft-feint any direction PK only top
>warlord/JJ only get a top heavy from gb - other heroes only get side heavy - others still all directions
>raider can feint 5 UNBLOCKABLE zones in a row, while my poor valk gets 2 then shes oos
Highlander actually does get a heavy on light parry
you fast flow from the parry and get a 30 damage heavy
that's why a light parrying Highlander is so dangerous
Being a parry monster is like his entire gimmick.
I dunno man
why does PK deal 38 damage on a fricking GB
Had a long break and heard I missed some mechanic updates, is Cent still fun?
How long exactly was the break?
He's still fun but he's been powercrept to hell and back.
I don't recall exactly, I know pirate wasn't revealed yet and there was some talk of hero skins.
You really didn't miss anything then.
I'm a fool, I know nothing
I may sound like a silly clown
But I won't turn my back on life
One day, all will rot away
All I do is embrace the wounded soul
ARMOR CLAD FAITH
I'm a fool, I know nothing
I take the role of a silly clown
But I won't turn my back on life
I'm a fool, maybe I'm worthless
But this world created my faith
So all I can do is stay hopeful and PRAAAAAAAAAAY
2 more days
I havent playes since pirate launch
have they nerfed her at all?
please tell me she doesnt have hyperarmor on her forward unblockable dodge attack anymore
They nerfed her a little but she's still a must-pick in Dom. Still got the hyper armor.
how is the game's state nowadays?
The changes that make it to the live game are good ones. The last testing grounds was a clusterfrick but, hey, it was a testing grounds. Year over year the game's been getting progressively better. It's about to take a BIG dip in playability for a month or so, though, since the next hero releases this week and if past releases are any indication he will be broken and there will be at least six of him in every game. Prepare for hell until things settle down.
>hate the edge of black prior
>play them really well
Do you have a character you hate but are good at?
Or maybe the opposite and a character you play but are bad at?
wow you're really good at that S-tier character
frick you and your dog
I take that back hes okay
Oath Breaker is somehow still in the game
Healing Ward
Umbral Shelter (which basically makes the commander invincible for like 12 seconds in Breach)
the best execution in the game that gives 35 health and kills in 1 second
undodgeable finisher on a 2 hit combo
neutral bash and chain bash
fricking recovery cancels into full block and therefore can flip on people attempting to punish during a recovery
crushing counters, not that he even needs them
also just flip by itself being one of the best antigank tools in the game, with it becoming effective the more opponents you have
not saying he's a shitter character since flip is one of the most unique and high skill tools in the game
but he is also accessible to morons who just mash the frick out of their bashes
I hope you're one of those black priors that is always going for CCs and flips and not just mashing your bash like a monkey
>worried about bp's edge
consider the tin can if you dont want to wear the edgy teenager hoodie or call of duty skull masks
Unrelated but I hate that those helmets don't have coifs. Ruins some otherwise OK headpieces for me. I know it's just my autism but I can't get over it.
this is a problem on gryphon
only the knight helmet has a chain coif and the rest have exposed skin
DISGUSTING
whats the highest possible damage a single individual hit can deal in this game
from a moveset
damage dealing feats dont count (including hitokiri's somersault thing)
I assume it would be someone's heavy finisher with a damage buff performed on an opponent with a resistance debuff
but like
what would the number be
Jorm's hamer slam on ground opponent deals the most damage in the game right now 38 dmg. Give him the attack buff from Deathmatch/Breach which is 50%, reduce enemy defence by 50% with Fear Itself and the hamer slam now deals 200% damage. So the most damge from a single individual hit is 76 dmg.
thank you
new hero comes out tommorow
C'mon, show the palest one.
