What does they even do

For over a month, I've been unable to purchase anything from the store.

Whenever I try to buy anything, I get the SIGMA-4 error. If I try to purchase through the Ubisoft Store, I get the following message:

>"Sorry, your payment couldn't be processed. We were unable to verify your payment method."

I've already tried every solution I could find online, contacted both Ubisoft Support and Xsolla, and completed all the troubleshooting they asked for. Xsolla told me the issue is on Ubisoft's side, but Ubisoft Support has stopped responding to my ticket.

Has anyone experienced this before or found a solution?

Suggestions are welcome and appreciated

Please man, it's been a year and a half and we have yet to get any love. Sohei finally got his and a ton of love recently so why can't you do the same with us. Please Ubi I'm begging you.

Did the next Samurai hero, and so the shadow figure that Saburo catch a sight of in the Dokuja's palace, could be members of a bandits/gangsta/rebels-like group which rise up against Khatuns domination?

Before the rambling starts. Credit goes out to the provided users. Their usernames are provided in the screenshot where possible.

Tldr for those not wanting to read a long wall of text, make the LTMs 2x XP, it's so simple.

As of the beginning of Year 10, Ubisoft has gone to various lengths to attempt to promote and encourage the playerbase to participate in the new/returning Limited Time Gamemodes (LTM). This includes:

* Making the event pass progression exclusive to the LTM (and partially through daily orders).

* Lock the gamemodes to PvP only (which they've since backed away from).

* Added limited time armour sets behind **NEW** LTM event passes.

These methods, while on paper sound solid, in practice are failures in taking and maintaining player interests. Locking event pass progress works but makes players feel like playing is a chore, and all incentive is removed upon completing the pass. PvP locking was an absolute and complete fuck up on Ubi's side. Shown how they immediately gave up on it ***a day*** after Wyverndale re-released. The new armour set has been the only working option, yet isn't even done for older events, thus not being applicable 60% of the time.

While Ubi is trying to make things work by making the system as tedious and forceful as possible. The solution is actually extremely easy, and has been in their face for over half a decade. **Make the LTMs have double XP**.

Wyverndale is a clear cut example of this. When the mode initially released alongside crossplay, the gamemode was further promoted with 2x XP. This made the event gamemode the most popular gamemode, even surpassing Dominon for an entire week, dropping it down to "high activity." When Wyverndale was brought back last season, it was PvP locked, and had no double XP. *The gamemode died in a day*. And Ubi immediately followed by making the gamemode PvE because no one could progress the event pass. A true fuck up

I even predicted this TWO YEARS AGO with the exact gamemode. It's too predictable.

Most LTMs are like this, I even found a post of TYM/DBM week 2 being dead because by then everyone's got the sets they wanted (or found out you didn't have to play the gamemode for it).

Bar the new event last season, which upheld popularity for a fair bit (due to the FOMO armour set). The last event to uphold such popularity was the return of the Jorogumu Halloween event, and guess what? It was only popular due to an XP exploit.

Ubisoft should already know this, they should already have the data for this. In my eyes they're simply being ignorant, choosing any and all anti-consumer methods as possible instead of just giving players what they really want. This isn't even exclusive to LTMs either, we have other permanent gamemodes not played for the same reasons (and other individual issues of course, but XP has always been the biggest dictator).

Maybe I'm just nagging, but I genuinely do enjoy the LTMs and wished they could stay active beyond the first 2 hours of existing. They're a refreshing experience, and yet Ubi seems to prioritise a singular day playercount over long term player retention.

In conclusion, I'm just sad I didn't get to play PvP on the DbD re-run, I logged on the day the gamemode came out and it was low activity within an hour.

The next Knight hero should be so shit he’s borderline unplayable. I don’t mean just underpowered or poorly balanced. I mean intentionally made so weak he’s a challenge/meme hero. Make him the HotS Murky of For Honor.

Behold

The Peasant
Hybrid
80 Health

600ms Opener Lights(you read that right)
1200ms Opener Top Heavy(yes, you’re still reading that right)
800ms Opener Side Heavies

Combos:
Light-Heavy
Light-Light-Heavy
Heavy-Heavy
Heavy-Light-Heavy

Moves and properties:

We Do Sow - Opener Top Heavy gains Hyperarmor property 600ms in and otherwise acts like Gldiator’s Skewer without the Unblockable property: pins, applies Bleeding and allows Peasant to throw the target for a wallsplat. Does not end the chain.

Butter Up(forward dodge+GB) - a staggering bash that can wallsplat but doesn’t guarantee or do any damage by itself. Starts the chain, can be done at any point in the chain by the GB input.

Bend Like Reed(dodge+heavy) - a slow, generic dodge attack and rollcatcher. The forward dodge variant can be feinted.

I Know Butter - We Do Sow and forward Bend Like Reed can be softfeinted into Butter Up.

Harvesting Season - Finisher Heavies have the Unblockable property and apply minor Bleed.

Superior Block Dodges - Bend Like Reed gains the Hyperarmor property after blocking an attack with a directional dodge.

Hidden Stance: Grovel - Peasant prostrates himself, dodging attacks and bashes during the windup animation. Enemies locked on Peasant instantly change targets/unlock if no available targets nearby. While Groveling, Peasant can’t be locked onto, gains the equivalent of the Stealth feat and can crawl very slowly. If Peasant takes damage during Grovel, he’s knocked prone.

Snatch(GB during Grovel) - Peasant quickly reaches for the target’s foot, knocks them down and exits Grovel.

Drip ideas:

Instead of getting better or more decorated gear, his clothes get worse with the hero’s Reputation level. His shirt becomes torn and sewn together, patches of straw poke out, his skin becomes dirtier and shows signs of common medieval diseases.

Unique Feats:

Level 1: Honest Taxpayer(passive) - Peasant contributes a portion of his Renown gains to the rest of his team.
Level 2: Corn-Fed(passive) - Peasant restores half his missing health and gains a 30% damage buff for 10 seconds after successfully hitting an enemy with We Do Sow. 30 seconds cooldown.
Level 3: Off My Lawn!(active) - A wide Unblockable sweep that knocks down enemies in a wide arc in front of Peasant. 120 seconds cooldown.
Level 4: I’m Being Repressed!(active) - Peasant gains 50% Damage Reduction and grants all of his allies 50% Movement Speed while they’re moving in Peasant’s direction. Lasts until an ally appears near Peasant or for 20 seconds. 120 seconds cooldown after I’m Being Repressed! ends.
