[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Damn, i didnt think about that. Do you know if it's locked behind plus in the US? Thanks

I could be totally wrong here but the beta is MP only so it requiring plus makes sense.

I can't speak for the open beta, but the previous test didn't require Plus in the US.

 

[zkorejo]

Does anyone know how big is the download size?

 

[Fakeknowledge]

Does anyone know how big is the download size?

30 gig. Downloaded it last night.

 

[T.O.P]

Have they said anything on D1 patches so far?

 

[zkorejo]

30 gig. Downloaded it last night.

That's big. Thanks!

 

[jediyoshi]

Does anyone know how big is the download size?

On PC, the download size reads 18.68gb

I'm on ps4 so I think its 30 gb for consoles.

Edit: On ps4 it says 22 gb.

Yeah i wasnt sure. Thanks!

DreadfulOmen..ignore what i said.

 

[Gbraga]

Had a good pre-order deal in my region and grabbed it. Should be easy to refund before launch if I end up not enjoying it as much as the previous beta and deciding I won't play it for too long.

I think I'll start with the Warden this time! How do you do the shoulder tackle thing?

It's just over 30 GB on PS4 in the UK (and I'd assume the same for the rest of Europe). XB1 version was 26 GB or so. Probably just regional differences with that languages are included in the download.

 

[Evolved1]

I don't remember seeing any female characters during the beta.

Lol... 75% of classes can be female.

Male or Female:

• Warden
• Kensei
• Orochi
• Raider
• Beserker
• Conqueror

Female only:

• Nobushi
• Peacekeeper
• Valkyrie

 

[Kaname]

Anybody knows the GMT starting time?

 

[SoraEnkai]

Anybody knows the GMT starting time?

It starts at 3pm CET. So it should be 2pm GMT. In other words it's supposed to start in two hours.

 

[Evolved1]

Anybody knows the GMT starting time?

You're +5 from me... so should be 2pm.

Edit: late

Btw last few For Honor betas started earlier. At least a half-hour each time.

 

[Hyun Sai]

It starts at 3pm CET. So it should be 2pm GMT. In other words it's supposed to start in two hours.

And of course, I start working in 2 hours until 9 PM EAST lol.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Made a Uplay account just now. Turns out its my old account linked with PSN for some reason from the PS3 days, lol. I can see myself as level 8 and with FC3 listed as played last. Totally forgot about it. Downloading the beta. Big-ass download.

 

[Apples_89]

Is this a seperate download from the closed beta the other weekend?

 

[Evolved1]

Is this a seperate download from the closed beta the other weekend?

No, same download, but it had a significant patch.

 

[Apples_89]

No, same download, but it had a significant patch.

Cheers, thanks for the clarification.

 

[Evolved1]

Play both tutorials.

After the initial tutorial, you can select an advanced tutorial from the menu. You should play both. You also get a bunch of steel for both.

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

How big do people anticipate the PC community to be?

 

[Rodelero]

I don't remember seeing any female characters during the beta.

As has been pointed out, three quarters of the game's characters are always female or can be female... but I think it's actually quite impressive you didn't notice this on the whole. The female characters in For Honor are generally pretty similar to the male character models without many obvious/exaggerated gender signifiers. For Honor is doing a marvellous job in this respect. A Viking Raider can be male or female - either way they'll be a fearless mass of muscled brutality.

Paraphrasing a quote from the dev team:

"We have a name for female warriors in the game... it's warrior."

They deserve a lot of credit for their approach, imo, it's so much work they did. So much extra animation and customization... very commendable. Imo best effort in the industry, to date. By a wide margin. They're the high water mark.

I thought it will be dead, but after playing Wildlands beta I think some people (including me) will chose For Honor instead.

 

[CountAntonius]

From Jedi Knight to Warband to Chivalry To dark Souls the community has had a strong for these types of games. If it is good it should have a fair amount.

Ok, thanks. Wasn't able to find the time anywhere lol

 

[Grisby]

75% of the classes can be female. (6 can be either, 3 only male, 3 only female)

Client is...28 GB? Something around that if I remember correctly.

Neat. Going to Dl tonight when I get home. Been curious to see what this is about.

 

[MarineMountie]

Not much longer now!

 

[deoee]

It's on!

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Yup. Im on!!!

 

[jediyoshi]

boo, on PC they just added another 2gb to the download after the fact

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

They have 4v4 deathmatch in this beta.

This can't be stated enough. It doesn't take that long but gives you significantly more of an advantage.

 

[drotahorror]

Anyone know why my DS4 is showing up as a 360 controller in game? I don't have DS4 windows or anything running.

 

[Strakt]

wow game is populated already... 100k users on within 30 mins lol

no server timeouts either yet

 

[_Clash_]

2gb patch on PC giving anyone else problems to download?

 

[Strakt]

Spoke too soon; server having issues

 

[Archpath1]

Lets fucking go!!!!

Spoiler

I'm going to be at work for 8 hours....

 

[jediyoshi]

protip, play this on an ssd. it streams its content like mad.

 

[Ardenyal]

Nioh will have to take a back seat :O

 

[CyanideFuse]

Spoke too soon; server having issues

Is this affecting the game actually loading too? I have downloaded the 2GB patch and when I click to play the game the For Honor splash screen shows and then disappears and nothing happens thereafter.

 

[wamberz1]

Headsplitter Leap startup can no longer be cancelled into Guardbreak
Headsplitter Leap range reduced from 4m to 3.5m
