For Honor players plan boycott as Ubisoft delivers on some of their blackout reasons

For Honor players, who call Reddit their home, are planning on boycotting the game on April 3rd, looking to push Ubisoft to detail their future plans for the game, alter the in-game Steel (currency that can be purchased with real money or earned in the game) income, and fix the matchmaking. 

While For Honor players plan the blackout, Ubisoft had been quietly making moves on their end. Today, a maintenance patch released to change Steel income, reintroduce the River Fort map, reimburse players for server downtime, and more. 

Despite these changes coming, the daylong boycott will continue. The bottom line is that fans want more communication from Ubisoft on what they plan to do with For Honor. 

As for the reimbursement, Ubisoft is granting all players a 3-day Champion Status for the 8 hours outage on March 28th and are investigating the Faction War rewards and will correct the situation soon.

The patch notes, as per Ubisoft:

River Fort Map

• We will re-introduce River Fort by end of day today.
• We plan to re-introduce High Fort as soon as possible if everything goes well with River Fort.

Increased Steel income 

We are increasing the overall income of Steel on all matches and Orders across all platforms. Here are the new rates:

• All matches Steel income are increased by 25%
• Daily Orders Steel income are increased by 33%
• Side Orders Steel income are increased by 50%
• Community Orders Steel rewards are increased from 500-1000 to 2000 Steel

Those changes can raise your daily first 2 hours income by as much as 45%.
