I played this game from Alpha all the way until the Wu-Lin on PS4. Then I got a PC, and re-started because i could not merge accounts. This game was my favorite game i have ever played as a 35 year old man. In the beginning this was the best game i have ever played. Then, the big reveal, the Wu Lin. Every single sub reddit, Steam Community message board, you tube video was excited for a 4th faction. A "Catch all" faction. Where we could expand, to other countries, cool known warriors throughout time. But instead, For Honor wanted a boost. The best boost a game company can do, appeal to China. They made the Wu Lin. Never mind that they have Chinese ninjas with Japanese Samurai. Or that English Knights share a faction with Roman Gladiators. Celtic Pict's with Germanic warriors. We all understood, there is some wiggle room with these factions. If you look on line, everyone is up in arms about Chinese and Japanese in one faction, but fine with all the rest. It was a plain and simple Money grab from Ubi. Then, the Wu Lin moves and play style. An entire faction came out that made Knights, Samurai, and Viking all obsolete. They changed the game. Instead of a brawling fun fighting game they wanted it to be a Tekken, or Street fighter style fighting game. With fast lights, way to many 50/50/50/50's and it was all the Wu lin. No othr faction could compete, so they have had to re-do all the original factions so they can be competitive. This took time away from, maps (Which still are so behind its insane for how long this game has been out. Because of this rush to make original Factions to be some what compatible with the Wu-Lin the rest of the game fell by the wayside to re-speck classes. Leaving this game with years of rebuilding old classes and feats and other BS. If the Wu-Lin would have started as an "out Lander" faction they could have avoided all of this, and pleased everyone. Instead all of UBI bent the knee and begged for that sweet sweet China money. This will always have a place in my heart, and once or twice a year i re-install the game. How ever it never makes it a full week installed before all of the above drive me to uninstall. Try and pick this game up in 2024, and enjoy the slow slow slow grind of 1 V 1. Or play 4V4, of getting stunlocked, unblockable attacked, murderball ganked. As you level the gear is great, but if you are to play this game. DO NOT take it seriously, just hop on for 30 mins, try and level and get some new gear, or spend hella money on steel and buy it. TLDR: Wu-Lin literally cut the player base in half. Then the half that stayed, 1/2 of them have left because of play style. So new people playing, you are going to be left with the people who have stuck with this game for years, and my only advice is, be a good guesser, and spend lots of money on steel. (Back round) When i still played i would put in 3-7 hours a day. I had on my PS4 account been top leader in duels, and had all the winnings from duels on my characters. I skiped work, stayed up late playing, i dedicated alot of my time to this game, an then the Wu-Lin came out, And every ounce of hope i had for this game was crushed. The pirate, cool would have been a blast as the 4th faction. The Egpytian , cant change skin tone, because of "Reasons" but a blonde hair blue eyed viking can be strait from the Congo. The Devs, the Fire side chats, this game has been left tot he small group of devs locked in Ubi basement to try and keep the game alive. It is a grind fest of BS with super toxic players (As i said, only those who have kept with it) who will flame you for ledgin someone. So much so that UBI re-did maps to stop ledging. This game could have been the greatest. Instead, UBI went for easy money, and the game died.
