For Honor thread

For Honor thread

2nd closed alpha test begins today

i thought this game was going to be a lot different than the gameplay I saw of it yesterday in a thread.

Is it going to be primarily 1v1 combat?

Or will it be more of a team/arena thing with like, 3v3 or 5v5?

PS why does every game have to be a hero game now, why can't we just have generic warriors and weapon selection without the special homo abilities and personalities.

Anyone got a spare key left? Been signed up since the closed alpha but they never gave me a key. Would really love to give this game a go. My uplay name is mjg-dds.

is there an Xbox One alpha?

sm00thinto2nd

Nope, PC tech test.

This games is fuck as fuck. Figured it might suck but Warden feels so good.

sure I'll send you one

sent ;)

Both modes, there are duels, 2v2s, and 4v4 battlegrounds so far

in the 2v2 do they usually like, team up on one dude, or is it two seprate fights?

So, you basically start in two separate areas, each facing one opponent. Most of the time, each pair battles it out, and then the one who wins his duel first walks over to the other side. Some people will 2v1 at that point, some people will wait for the other guys' duel to be over, either for muh honor or because 1v1 is generally more fun for everyone than 2v1.

However, there's nothing saying that you can't just run over to the other area and initiate a 2v1 immediately instead of fighting your own guy. It's pretty freeform.

Will it have leaderboards?

How is it compared to Chivalry?

Are there brutal finishers, and executions for the end? Or do they just simply fall at the last blow and that fights over?

I want some Mortal Kombat type of shit.

Yeah you get two executions base, and I think you can unlock more? There weren't as many in the first alpha but I think they might just not have been finished up yet

How's the camera? Is there a lock on? How seamlessly could I go from holding a ready stance to running away full speed?

Oh, you have to win with a heavy attack to get an execution though I think, if you kill them with a light they just fall and die

Lock on is one button so easy to switch between movement modes but it takes some time to get used to all the keybinds, I seem to recall that there were some techniques that had you unlock and roll away last time

is the single player like Dynasty Warriors?

Why the fuck the whole screen is plastered with my name reeeee

The PvP looks sick as fuck, but that PvE shit looks like some of the most homo dynasty warriors ripoff shit I've ever seen, why is that allowed?

Someone still have a spare invite?. uplay is FNX1234

>closed alpha
>has finished textures/gameplay/multiplayer

do devs even know what an alpha is? this is a fucking demo.

Is Orochi a grill?

Network stress test/balance

Why would you give a fuck about people's opinions on your textures before the game is done? What input are they going to add? "Make the textures better."

to stop you from capturing footage

I have three keys to give, post your funniest pic/reaction face and your Ubi ID and I'll send you one.

Does this game require top tier reflexes?

Is the server down?

My ID is Kevlol

I don't really have any funny pics but I do want to engage in glorious combat

ID - iiitsq

I'm trying.

And do remember to be online, I have to add you as friends to send a code to you

How is performance?

Questions for whoever has played it so far:
How "balanced" does it feel as of now? Is there a faction/class/technique that just feels OP/UP?

also how different do the different classes actually play? do they say, feel like playing different characters in a fighting game, or just new animations/a couple unique moves?

>no African tribal Zulu
>no scimitar wielding middle turban bros
>no chinese mongol raiders

what kind of POS game is this?

Dlc. Coming soon goy! Only 5 bucks for a new character. What a deal!

>stuck at installing directx
help

Single player is panning out to be some sort of shitty skirmish vs. AI deal, as the game is (allegedly) always-online.

Too early to tell for this iteration, but last time it was pretty balanced except for orochi being top of the pile. Definitely more along the lines of a somewhat simplified 3D fighting game

single player should be an open multiplayer would with the main factions having their own cities, and defences, and online players could get together in the massive lobby and campaign raids against other factions capitals.

Have fun goys

im reporting this thread to police :)
did you little Sup Forums nerds forgot about rules of this alpha :)

So what's the meta?

Seems like BIG GUYS are pretty op if you aren't some sort of parry god.

>that fucking shield break spam

Can you invite people to duels yet?

Lawbringer and Nobuto are in need of big nerfs from what I've played. Lawbringer's too fast for what he does and Nobuto is just all around stupid to fight.

Should i pick The Nobushi or The Orochi?

You know that thing where grapplers are always OP on day 1 when a fighting game comes out?

Yeah, that's what that is. Nobody has any idea how to deal with the new characters yet.

Nobushi really isn't that bad. She falls apart against any kind of rushdown.

warden

>So what's the meta?
VALKYRIE VS VALKYRIE, LIGHT ATTACKS ONLY, CANYON
seriously, fuck how fast she is, she's nigh unparriable

>should be

Well obviously Ubi don't agree with your design decisions.

Hmm can you remap the xbone controller? the roll/dodge position seems a bit awkward.

I CAN'T FUCKING PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS I BARELY CAN PLAY ALONE, LAST TECHNICAL WAS FINE WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED YOU GODDAMN CRIPPLE

Any potatoes want to give another potato a spare key? Been looking at a bunch of videos for this game and it seems really fun. Would like to give it a go.

>uplay name: Potatokek

added you on uplay m8

Any kind user want to share a key?

>Uplay:bonana123

m8 if you don't accept it in the next 5 minutes I'm giving it to someone else

Ok thanks so much ill hop on now

>matchmaking error
>connection has been lost
>completely one sided fight that you lose
>an error has occured
>whoops game crashed
>another one sided match that you lose
Seriously, all the good looking games fuck off while only the garbage games where no one helps each other and we get raped are the ones that are playable.

it's kind of like a cross between games like chivalry and a fighting game with combos and special moves

Pretty much.

There needs to start being a hardline stance on quitters. Permanent bans for disconnections, two strikes, that's it. Even disconnections are a strike, and need to be appealed.

Just like how it used to be in the days of servers. I would ban anyone with a ping over 150 and make them take 8 speed tests at random times through the day to get access back, and my server never had less than 32 people in it.

What it like living on the spectrum?

Pretty good.

I just wish that other people could understand how hard they're getting fucked by people who just quit, and game companies would understand if they want their game to be competitive in the slightest way, they need to do this kind of stuff.

It's not just a matter of being competitive, it's a matter of decency and not making the game frustrating for those who behave properly.

and they threw balance out of window
nice

Anyone got a xb1 beta code that you would mind giving a humble ex-warden?
ID- Keanu53

Behaving properly is quitting now? Behaving properly is disrupting the game for OTHER people by disconnecting and having shit/spotty internet while trying to play an online game?

I don't know man. If not bans, throwing them in a pool with other quitters/disconnectors.

You wouldn't believe how many people will actually disconnect their router to make it not look like a quit, and instead their internet. It happens. And it's really shitty.

there's no xb1 or ps4 beta dipshit, try reading the first like 3 posts.

How long the server is gonna stay down?

>VALK
Im loving valk right now. her leap attack is so fast and covers so much damn ground against people playing back or running away. her sweep knockdown is powerful because you get a guarenteed heavy with it.

pc servers. Also I realize a lot of people are shitters right now, but i feel like there will be a lot of people complaining about valk

...

Man, I was agreeing with you, I was saying they shouldn't ban quitters just because of competitions, also because it's just shitty to do.

it's not shitty to do though. People only do it because it's acceptable and there's not punishment for it.

Imagine if someone quit in a SC2 match. They'd be lambasted and shunned from the community. Same as people who ragequit and disconnect their controllers in fighting game stuff.

Why is that same standard not held for everything.

So who are you liking from the new warriors? Can't decide who to buy

Played the other ones in the last test

how do i shugoki

>Wait for opponent to do a heavy attack
>Do a heavy attack in response
>Absorbs their attack and gives you a free hit
>Repeat with occasional guardbreaks threw in
He's quite fun but slow as fuck, I don't see myself dropping the raider for him

So what's the general feeling on new classes? I'm downloading the beta right now.

>tfw you were destroying everyone last test but getting absolutely rekt this time

>Imagine if someone quit in a SC2 match. They'd be lambasted and shunned from the community.

how do i nobushi

We'll have to figure it out together here. Make sure you remember to cancel block into dodge frequently to escape pressure, and that Hidden Stance's dodge on startup helps get you out of some tight situations, like Valk's unblockable shit

Yeah, and idra was absolutely shit on for it and had to apologize a few thousand times AND got sanctioned before they let him compete again.

Calm down, senpai. Last Closed Alpha was actually really playable.

same
new characters are fucking retarded
0 time for reaction
its more spamming that one good combo and less waiting for opportunity to attack

>Samurai speak Japanese
>but Knights and Vikings both have American accents

Warlord is strong.

lrn to deflect

orochi had the highest pickrate and by far lowest winrate in the last alpha

This fucking emblem creator man.
Nothing lines up perfectly
The watermark is right in front of the preview
This is triggering my autism

only because all the scrubs picked Orochi trying to copy the pros

that character was truly broken, free damage for simply blocking is too op

That's because every shitter hopped on, looked at reddit for the strongest class, and proceeded to shit it up with orochi. He was busted in the hands of anyone not a moron.

>female knight
>black viking

no thanks

Anyone know how to global chat on PC? Pressing "T" just brings up team chat, and for the life of me I can't figure out what to do to bring up the global chat.

>fantasy setting
fucking Sup Forums I swear

also the berserker isn't black dummie, and skin colour is customizable anyway

That generally tends to be the case
Shitters jump on the one that gets the reputation as OP, but are still shitters
And Raider had the by far the highest winrate and like second lowest pick rate, because the only people that played it knew what they were doing

you can change skin color, and the sex.

retard.

Also because Raider's skillset just demolishes anyone who can't sidestep consistently
