On this week’s Warrior’s Den, the dev team had a lot to speak about. The first big thing they touched on is the upcoming tournament card for this weekend. The popular Mistressed’s Mayhem 2v2 PC tournament is this Saturday, December 8th at 1PM EST. In addition, there are two tournaments on Sunday. There’s a For Honor Arena 1v1 series for Playstation 4 players this Sunday, December 9th, at 12pm EST. FHA is also hosting a PC 1v1 tournament the same day at 2PM EST. Links below:
For Honor (rough) patch notes
The developer who usually discusses patch notes is ill, so here’s a rough outline of what this For Honor patch is all about.
General Fixes:
- Camera’s slightly tweaked to make left external attacks easier to see
- Many feats are losing hyper-armor upon activating them, meaning they’re vulnerable to interruption
- Bots can no longer revive teammates across the map, and they revive sooner
- Level 3 bots have been nerfed so they block and parry less
- Tickets for matchmaking are now sorted chronologically, meaning players who have waited longest will get matched first
- If a player is the last one in a duel, it ends
- Fixed a longstanding issue involving Hero models switching in customization mode
- The bug where a player is stuck in tactical view for the duration of the game is fixed
- Multiple visual character bugs fixed

- Parry counters no longer hit an unintended target.
