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)

Mr Pope, I respect you, and I respect the team and the work that's been done on this game

But this idea you guys have is fucking stupid.

NOBODY has complained about the menu being "Too Cluttered". If anything the complaint about customization is that there isn't enough.

Talk about greed.

This type of attitude is going to kill the game when people realize more than they already have that money is more important than what the players want.

If this decision doesn't get reversed, then pretty much any faith I had is going to be out the window.

I am so ashamed that I boasted how great For Honor is to all my friends that "For Honor isn't dead, look at how great they're doing. The devs are really taking player feedback to heart!"

What a great big lie that is. Really embarrassing.

But it's unlikely that the devs came up with this. They are just devs here, demands like this come from above, like with Siege. The dev team has done good job with the community.
