My thoughts after having it for a few days is that it's a busted piece of garbage whenever you aren't actually in a match. Once a match ends however, oof. I feel like I wasted $80 and after Battlefront 2 and now my experiences with BFV, I no longer trust DICE as a company and will probably skip their games from now on.
I can't even play two matches in a row because the game keeps finding new ways to bug out every time. End of match, game just displays splash screen for previous map and doesn't load forcing you to close app manually. End of match, shows best squad then immediately goes to black screen and doesn't load forcing you to close app manually. End of match, loads into next game, but screen is blurred and the controller doesn't respond, forcing you to close app manually. Looking on the official forums show people on PC and Xbox are also having the same problems (including reports from nearly 2 weeks ago!), but still no response from DICE. So frustrating.
How do you define a "load" of abilities? Each character only has 3 skills which usually boils down to 1 Movement, 1 Thrown, 1 Unique. I've put a few hours into it so far and battles have been pretty intelligible to me.
Yea, 3 other people use this connection at the same time, just weird that I've never really had trouble with Overwatch, Battlefield 1, Gears of War 4, or other games outside of minor rubberbanding in rare cases.
Yea, I'm thinking it's tied to my upload which is very small.. however I did spend time experimenting more and I could play 4vAI just fine, but once I got into actual multiplayer, it just always kicks me out :( Gonna try it from Gamefly on my PS4 as, funnily enough, my Xbox One always give me more connection issues just to see if there's any differences.
I thought it was too, but I tethered my phone as an access point for my Xbox and the game worked flawlessly for the hour and half that I played, but that's not something I can do long term. I do have intermittent lag with my DSL (crazy rubberbanding in Battlefield 1 at times, for example), but For Honor is the first game to just kick me out consistently.
I live in a rural area with the only ISP available to me is AT&T with 6Mbps DSL (no U-Verse). I was looking forward to trying the beta this weekend to decide if I was going to pick the game up, however every game I joined I would get kicked out of shortly after the match started. I reached out to Eric Pope on twitter and was told the error code I was getting was the one you receive when you are kicked for poor latency. This is just how my connection is, unfortunately, so it looks like I have to pass on the game.
I wanted to post about it though in case there are others in my situation to hopefully save them $60 on a game they won't be able to play.
