Topic: For Honor -- OT

@WanderingBullet @Tasuki Yeah, I wish they had it more like The Division for the group/party. It seems their server hosting through players is rather broken.

Yeah the servers are a big part of me not playing the game as much as I'd like. Most of the time when I have time to play I jump on and try to do my dailies unfortunately unless the dailies are centered around Dominion I can't get into a game even vs A.I. I waste all my time looking for a group.

Some have told me it's my NAT setting but in order to fix that it's a pain in the *** so I don't know.

Honestly if I knew this was how it was going to be I would have held off on buying this game day one.

@Tasuki I grouped with in PSN party with a friend and got a NAT error and kicked from the party. Then rejoined and it seemed to reset my NAT and since then, I haven't had the connection NAT error. But really, the NAT thing is on their end. Mine is set on auto, but not even sure how that makes a difference as I still get the connection error.

My big thing right now is my AI duels are always against lvl 3 bots, no matter what level my character is at. They crush me more often than not.

@starhops Unfortunately I cant group with friends since none of my PS4 friends have this game and all my friends who do play it are playing it either on Xbox One or PC. It seems to only not connect to modes in which other players are involved in. I can connect all the time to Duel VS A.I. matches but after awhile I get bored of those. Yeah seriously thinking of quitting this game till they get their servers working correctly.

I knew they were using P2P networking when I played the betas, but those were the betas and I thought the full game would have less issues.

@WanderingBullet Yep, I have just about gave up trying to play For Honor. As I said before I can't connect to anything but Player vs AI Duels and after awhile those get boring. I want to like this game and I can see the potential but until they fix their serves its just unplayable. As it is I would rate this game 5/10, and that's mainly due to their server problems.

@Tasuki I have no issues connecting to PvP or PvE, its just that once in a while I'll experience those issues I mentioned above. I'm using NAT 2, btw.

@WanderingBullet I have mine set to NAT2 as well. I will add though that this evening on For Honor's Twitter they said that the PS4 was having NAT problems with the servers and all is fixed now so I might try it later.

@Tasuki Servers were down 6-7 hours ago. Apparently, they stated that it was already fixed but when I tried to play earlier my NAT was red instead of the usual green or yellow.

Nope no luck still. Tried connecting and had no luck. Seriously considering asking for a refund for this game.

Ubisoft's giving a 3-day Champion Status between Mar 3-5 for those affected during the server outage last weekend.

Hello warriors, due to a global Ubisoft online outage this past weekend affecting many games including For Honor, many of you were unable to access the battleground. Because of this we’re granting everybody who played For Honor between Feb 13th and Feb 26th at 2:00 am EST a 3-Day Champion status this coming weekend (March 3-5), for all platforms. When you log into the game on March 3rd your account will have been granted the Champion Status (all accounts should be processed by midnight EST).

For those unfamiliar with Champion Status, it provides:

• More Salvage from dismantling Gear
• More end-match Loot
• +25% XP Boost
• 3 Exclusive Champion Emblems
• An Exclusive Champion Icon next to your name
• +10% XP Boost for all players on your team
• Champion Statuses stack (i.e.: if you bought the Season Pass, you will get 3 extra days)

In addition to the compensation, this same weekend there will also be a special community Order that will grant participants double the amount of Steel they usually get, so make sure to join us on the battlefield.

We’ll see you in battle!

@WanderingBullet Well, that's something at least.

@starhops The great thing about Champion Status is that it apparently stacks . So if you have Champion Status and another person in your team does as well, you'll get another 10% XP boost on top of your 25% boost.

@WanderingBullet I think you only get it if you were playing during those times mentioned. At least that's what I gathered.

In other For Honor news, it looks like Vikings took round one with Knights in second and Samurai in third.

@Tasuki That's been since release, so it should include most everyone.

@Tasuki Yeah, I chose Samurai and because they placed third - I only got one loot crate.

@WanderingBullet Yep same here. My friend who chose Viking got 3 I think.

@Tasuki Yeah, 1st place - 3 crates, 2nd - 2 crates and 3rd - 1 crate.

Looks like Vikings are ahead again in Round 2. > < lol

@WanderingBullet Yeah I saw a few times last round Samurai were in the lead and Knights as well so it seems pretty balanced. I am not sure what faction has the most players but I am sure they will have those numbers soon enough.

My biggest thing is I am not exactly sure how War Assets work and if I am using them correctly hahaha.

@Tasuki I just apply my war assets on those around 50% to to 49% (winning or losing) parts for the Samurai faction.

I think you winning or losing your matches contributes to the faction war as well.
