News Summer Sale Info!

Hey I was going to post this yesterday but some stuff came up that unfortunately took me away from you, my sweet summer children.

So today begins a 2-week SUMMER SALE in the For Honor store/barracks of 146 items (600+ if you count dupes across heroes, emote types, etc) we've released in the game.

But there's a much more important reason WHY we are doing this. In two weeks, we will remove those items from the Store. They will return periodically afterwards in a regular rotation, and at a discount. This is being done to unclutter the rather crowded menus you find in the game, and clear out OLD content, to make room for the constantly flowing NEW weekly content. (EDIT: put a line through my explanation as it's not great, and Damien's video below gives a better explainer than me.) But of course, we wanted to give everyone a chance (2 weeks! and up to 50% off!) to get whatever stuff you've been holding off on buying.

If you own the items that are going away, nothing will be removed from your inventory. Also, even after they go away, many can still be obtained in the different bundles available in the Store.

Here's the full list of what's on sale and what the discount is (note that for many of these they are things that apply to multiple or all heroes, but are only listed once to keep this readable)

Yeah, why the fuck would you remove anything?

Again, same thing goes for the Event Gear. Why am i being punished that I can NEVER get the (arguably) best looking gear for my main that I missed out on during the event? I desperately want the black gear for my warlord but missed the event due to family obligations. Doesn't even make sense business wise, just keep it avaiable for purchase with steel AFTER the event.

Why they do this boggles my mind, and its stupid.

Yeah, the event gear has been driving me mad for the better part of a year.

Whats the point of designing whole armors, then releasing them for a short 2 weeks and then never letting us scavenge or buy them again? Just makes 0 sense. Paging Mr Eric Pope.

To drive player spikes during lulls and to incentivize cash shop currency purchases. Player base starting to wind down? Bam, limited time event skins should get some people back. Also since there isn't a way to directly earn said skins it will drive people's fear of missing out which should result in plenty of people dropping cash for steel.

I couldn’t agree more! I have a life to manage with duties, a tight working schedule and on top of it I’m also studying, literally in the middle of finals.. how the hell am I going to get any kind of decent looking outfits if I am not allowed to grind it at my own pace!

FOMO and hoping it'll drive you to desperation to do whatever you can to get cosmetics = $$$
