For Honor UPDATE: Ubisoft Reveals Patch Notes As Game Goes Offline On PS4 And Xbox One

FOR HONOR will be taken offline on PS4 and Xbox One, as Ubisoft applies the HUGE update 1.05 to consoles.

For Honor update 1.05 finally makes its PS4 and Xbox One debut today, as Ubisoft takes the game offline.

​

The For Honor servers will be taken offline for maintenance at 1pm UK time, but only on PS4 and Xbox One.

The downtime is only expected to last for 20 minutes, as Ubisoft updates the console versions of For Honor to version 1.50.

"For Honor will be undergoing a server maintenance to update PS4 and Xbox One with Patch v1.05 at 8:00AM EDT / 12:00 PM UTC on Wednesday April 19th," reads an Ubisoft statement. "Maintenance should last around 20min."

The huge patch was released on PC a few weeks ago. It makes countless balances changes, as Ubisoft tries to win players back following a threat to boycott the game.

Ubisoft has already tweaked the steel system, giving players more steel after matches.

For Honor update 1.05 patch notes:

Superior Block feedback

• Warden’s Top Light opener Superior Block visual effect applied on sword.
• Kensei’s Dodge Forward, Left, Right Superior Block visual effect applied on sword.

Valkyrie Moveset

• Removed Guardbreak Cancel from Shield Tackle Cancel Moveset description.

Guardbreak

• [Bug Fix] Counter Guardbreak ability is no longer affected by the Debuff Gear Stat.

Assassins

• [Bug Fix] Assassins not falling Unbalance when thrown out of stamina is resolved.

Barracks

• [Bug Fix] Fixed inverted Kensei Emotes “Wipe Blade” and “Arm and Armed”.

FEATS

Regenerate

• Health regeneration only works from Idle
• Health regeneration set to 12HP per tick (from 10HP)

• Developer comments: Regenerate could be exploited by fighting enemies Out of Guard Mode. The Warlord could just release lock, take hits, and the Feat would regenerate his HP without much of a challenge. This is not a behavior we want to encourage. By enabling the HP regeneration only in Idle, Regenerate now is efficient in safe scenarios only, which is more aligned with its intended purpose. We’re also increasing its regeneration rate in order to compensate for the loss of regeneration on hits.

Shield Basher

• [Bug Fix] Shield Basher functionality will no longer be partially deactivated on death

FIGHTERS:

Nobushi

• [Bug Fix] Hidden Stance input improvement
• [Bug Fix] Nobushi's bleed can no longer be applied without hitting target

Lawbringer

• (enemy would land on their feet instead of falling on their back).

Warlord

Berserker

• Heavy Finishers hit areas updated
