Seriously, get rid off the stupid “play with a friend” orders! Today I got the daily and two contract versions of that stupid order! So altogether that’s 800 steel that I’m not going to earn!

Why do we only have up to 10 minutes to edit a post after it’s been posted? We should be able to edit it as many times as we want.

Personally, I'd like to see some new breach maps.

Given the new outlander “faction” coming in year 6, I’d like to share an idea for a new hero from this faction. This hero would be an assassin with Persian origins, known as the Hashashin/Hashshashin (I’m not 100% sure what the correct spelling is, but for simplicity I will use hashashin). For those of you that don’t know, hashashin is where the term “assassin” comes from, and what is regarded as “assassination” is based on the tactics used by the hashashin, aka the Order of Assassins.

Because this new forum/site likes to be difficult, some the images and a few other things will be posted in the comments.

Key visuals:

• Robes with minimal armor in key places (head, chest, forearms, etc).
  • Any armor would consist of mostly leather and some light plate armor.
• Lots of hoods and/or masks.
  • At least one visual needs to have some kind of skull mask. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fategrandorder/images/b/bf/S040_Stage1.webp/revision/latest?cb=20210202080104 
• Would have male and female options for the gender (however, if only one gender can be chosen, then the hero would be male).
• In terms of height/size, they’d be somewhere around heroes like the Shinobi or Orochi.

Weapon(s): 
Dual pesh-kabz daggers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pesh-kabz).

• Aside from the blades and hilts, the third piece of the weapon(s) would probably have to be the sheaths/scabbards, which would be worn rather than used in combat.

Themes/concepts:

• Being a literal assassin, they’d be designed solely for killing other heroes. 
  • Would excel in 1v1 or 1v2 combat.
  • Masters of stealth and assassination.
  • Lore for the hero could be similar to the following (skip to 7:18).
    ?t=438 

Fighting style/moveset:

• Quick and agile.
  • Fast attacks.
• Short range, but high mobility.
• Dodge attacks.
  • Evasive
• Counter-attacker.
• Lots of opportunities to cause bleed damage.
• Can have an unblockable light deflect attack.
• Can have a double dodge like the Shinobi.
• Can have an unblockable kick (forward dodge + guard break).

Possible feat options:
The ones in bold are my top choices for each tier, but feel free to comment if you think another one would be better.

• Tier 1:
  • Stealth: hide yourself from the HUD, radar, & aim assist (passive)
  • Bounty hunter: gain health & stamina when you kill another hero (passive)
  • Deadly: attacks deal slightly more damage every 3 seconds (passive)
  • Iron lungs: you can still sprint when out of stamina (passive)
  • Rush: trigger to gain movement speed for a short duration 
  • Deadly duet: deal more damage in close quarters combat against an enemy who is alone (passive)
• Tier 2:
  • Executioner’s respite: when executing an enemy hero, gain an extra amount of health based on the execution’s duration (passive)
  • Thick skin: gain moderate damage reduction every 3 seconds (passive)
  • Smoke bomb: throw a smoke bomb in front of you that temporarily blinds your opponents
  • Doom banner: nearby enemies have less powerful defense
• Tier 3:
  • Sharpen blade: attacks inflict low damage over time
  • Slip through: raise attack for the next hit performed shortly after a dodge (passive)
  • Second wind: recover some of your health
  • Nukekubi: gain stamina on successful hits (passive)
  • Boleadoras: projectile that deals low damage & traps an enemy for a short time
• Tier 4:
  • Fear itself: nearby enemies have lower defenses
  • Regenerate: regenerates your health when out of combat (passive)
  • Nail bomb: a trap dealing bleed damage in an area of effect
  • Yama uba: gain health on successful attacks (passive)

Custom feat idea(s):

• Throwing knife: throw a projectile that deals low damage & inflicts bleed damage
  • This would be either a tier 1 or 2 feat.
• Vanish: turn invisible & hide from HUD, radar, & aim assist for a short duration
  • This would be either a tier 2 or 3 feat.
  • Lasts for 15 seconds.
  • Ability will deactivate early if you perform an attack (enemies will still get a warning indicator), take damage, step into a neutral or enemy controlled zone, pick up a banner/offering, or use a non-passive feat.
    • The overall purposes of this feat would be to move from one location to another undetected, or sneak up on someone.
  • Similarly to other games with invisibility, other players will still be able to faintly see you.
  • The animation would be you throw a smoke bomb at your feat, and then disappearing.

Possible perk options:
These are my top choices (with the one in bold being their default perk), but feel free to comment if you think another one would be better. Keep in mind that vanguards tend to have offensive and/or defensive perks, heavies and hybrids tend to have defensive and/or assist ones, and assassins tend to have offensive ones. However, there are some exceptions to this, such as the Tiandi, who has assist perks.

• Remedy: upon hero kill, heal +10 health
• Devourer: upon execution, heal an additional +10 health
• Galestorm: upon hero kill, gain 20% movement speed for 10 seconds
• Endurance: when gaining a renown level, receive 3% stamina cost reduction (max 4 gains)
• Survival instinct: when in critical health, gain 25% stamina cost reduction
• Crush them: upon hero kill, your next attack deals 30% more damage
• Head hunter: for each unique player/bot hero executed, increase max health +4 (max 4 increases)

Signature ideas:

• The Hashashin tosses a decapitated Warden head forward.
• The Hashashin walks forward while simultaneously sheathing his daggers, and then crosses his arms.

Execution ideas:

• The enemy tries to crawl away, but the Hashashin walks up and slits their throat.
• The enemy tries to attack the Hashashin, but he dodges to side and grabs their arm, throwing them to the ground. As the enemy is about to get back up, they look at the Hashashin, but he throws a knife into their face.
• A snake slithers by and the Hashashin picks it up and throws it at the enemy, killing them.

Other info:

• Medium-hard difficulty.
• Would have a lower health pool like the Shinobi.
• Sprint speed would be 7.5 m/s.
• Some of their gear, executions, emotes, etc can be themed/named after the following:
  • Hassan-i Sabbah, aka the Old Man of the Mountain (founder of the Order of Assassins)
  • Assassin’s Creed (the Assassin Brotherhood from the AC series is based on the Order of Assassins)

I just finished watching Vikings Valhalla on Netflix, and it was such an amazing show! I just wish it was little longer. Regardless, some of the characters reminded me of some of my older hero ideas that I posted on the old forums/site so check them out if you're interested.

The new outlander "faction" is an interesting idea, since it will allow them to explore other cultures, but I feel like they should've given the vikings 1 more hero before they decided to take the game in this direction. If anything, they probably could've waited to introduce the pirate in Y6. Personally, I would've preferred it if the vikings and samurai had 9 heroes like the knights currently do before they decided to add a new faction. But since they confirmed that both heroes coming in Y6 will be outlanders, we won't be getting a new viking hero until Y7 at the earliest (assuming there will be a Y7).

@Msid219 agreed. I’m not unhappy about it, but they probably should’ve given the vikings at least 1 more hero before they decided to take the game in this direction. Personally, I would’ve preferred if the vikings and samurai had 9 heroes like the knights before they decided to do something like this.

@mrgrippz from what I can tell, these new forums aren’t friendly on any platform/device. This new format/site is so frustrating at times that I hardly ever look at the forums anymore.

They really should’ve given the Vikings at least one more hero before they decided to take the game in this direction.

@night_fury147 I would take out the gun as a constant weapon, and put it in the pirates feat slot.. like the first or second feat.. it needs e.g 1-2 min to recharges the feat.. and it deals the same damage as the shuriken or something a bit bigger.. (( you know the idea now, its just basic. I didn't work out the details.))

@l0k1-01 yeah, that probably would've been better.

@png-1982-60hz if they made Star Wars themed outfits for heroes in For Honor they could base them off of some of Jake Bartok’s artwork. He has some pretty good art of Star Wars characters depicted in a medieval style/setting. Check out his work if you’re interested.

One of my favorites is this one of Kylo Ren.

leaving a game tends to completely ruin the game for your team. Definitely should be penalized.

Yeah, but if they were playing poorly/stupidity enough to make someone leave, then I’d say they deserve to be down a player.

You can't control how good or bad your teammates are. The only thing you can do with bad teammates is to help them the best you can. You should not be upset when your teammates are not as good as you would like. They simply don't play as much as others.

Even if you try to help them and they’re still not playing the objective, that’s just still ridiculous enough to make someone leave.



I hardly ever play with people anymore just because they irritate me so much (that and I don’t have as much free time as I used to, so I don’t have time to wait for matchmaking). But honestly, the best way to get around the matchmaking penalty is to just quit the game and restart it.

@ubi-theberry one of the patterns is called "fern" and I re-earned it a few days ago by playing ranked duels; I don't remember the names of the others. I've scrolled through the pattern inventory several times and they're nowhere to be found. I remember one of the patterns was a vertical line of diamonds with another diamond on each side of the line.

I started up the new season today and was going to play as Aramusha, but I noticed that the paint partterns that I had on his chest/back and arms were not equipped. When I went looking for them so I could re-equip them, one was locked and I have to do ranked matches to earn it, and the other is no where to be found.

I came across this on YouTube.

Personally, I feel like they should just get rid of the matchmaking penalty altogether.

I mostly just hate "teammates" act like idiotic children and purposely hit others (like at the end of match or waiting to capture a zone).

Just use each hero (even the non assassin ones) as if they all have a reflex guard, it'll help you practice.

If the next hero is an assassin, I hope it's a Middle-Eastern Hassassin.

Same.

My idea for a new set of armor variations would be, as the post's name implies, the concept of each hero being a dragon slayer. These armor variations wouldn’t be based off of one solid set/style, but similarly to the armor from the Apollyon’s legacy or metal trials events, it could be comprised of different armor sets (with a few exceptions here and there).

Color wise, these armor variations would be dark colored like the armor sets from the Apollyon’s legacy or metal trials events, and the armor variations from Y5S4. Any armor would be black and/or gunmetal with dark red accents/detailing, any leather would be black and/or dark brown, any cloth (shirt, pants, etc) would be black or red, and any animal pelts or fur trim would be black or gray. One last thing to note is that there are a few heroes that I left out because I’m not a high enough level with them to have access to all of their gear.
