One of the matches that got disconnected in "For Honor."

The recently released Ubisoft hack and slash fighting game - "For Honor" has been causing quite a buzz among versus gaming enthusiasts with its fine details and historically accurate war wear. Nevertheless, just like most games, there are still glitches within the title albeit already being let out in the wild.  

Players who grabbed a copy of the latest Ubisoft offering had some of them getting pretty much irked with the recent discovery of such issue. The current concern of "For Honor" gamers is the laggy gameplay during multiplayer battles.   

It was found out that the developer does not render the services of a game server as it only utilizes peer-to-peer connection during such game mode. Players need not fret though about the game host taking the catbird seat of things as the game's P2P setup does not even have a host, Eurogamer has learned.   

In a statement obtained by Kotaku, Ubisoft stated that they are fully aware of the situation including the feedbacks from players who have been experiencing disconnection issues as of late. Furthermore, they stressed out that "For Honor's" P2P structure deviates from other P2Ps as it does not have a host.   

The player that is being designated as the server will just be in charge with the invites and the introduction of players in the match. The developer added that after every match, results of the game are then relayed to Ubisoft's "arbitration service" to check on the said match. Aside from such, the developer also highlighted that they have other knowhows in detecting potential cheats.  

Meanwhile, the game was also commended by the publication for making armors for female warriors that can be easily distinguished as such. For the uninitiated, half of the combatants in the game are females where the characters known as Nobushi, Valkyrie, and Peacemaker were specifically deemed to femmes only.  

This move by Ubisoft clearly shows that they also aim for equality in the game. Moreover, this also lets players have some personal touch with their characters as they are in a way being represented within the game.
