    I am 100% sure some places I visited have been marked as unvisited to make me travel there again.

    I think in a previous patch they added in about 20 new viewpoints. Maybe it unmarked the areas where they are?

    Is additional feats just a load of single missions?

    Haven't got the Season Pass yet, but that has ramped up my interest. Whatever about Legacy of the Hidden Blade, I said from the second I got to that particular part in the game, I was like, yes, I'm exploring this when I can. That looks really good! And I'm gonna call it now, we're gonna have a game about the First Civilisation, you're going to play a character in that time and it'll cover the downfall of the FC. That I would like to play, because going by lore you'd be nearly superhuman so they could go balls out God mode.

    Surely you'd play as Adam and eve at some stage in that game too given the bits of info we've gotten from previous games

    Just played the Atlantis DLC. Garbage! These guys haven't got a clue how to weave a narrative. I'm actually shocked at how terrible that was. What a waste of time


    Edit: Looks like it wasn't actually the DLC, but rather a setup mission for the DLC. Either way, it was still pants :(

    You guys are right. This is how much I haven't been paying attention! Will edit the original post.

    Even still, that setup mission was garbage!

    Nah the game and setting are perfect, no interest in the story preset or past.

    I do love SPARTA kicking people of high buildings tho.

    I enjoy Sparta kicking people off ships and watching them drown.

    Do it in the game sometimes as well.

    Good I will try it, they really F'd us with this leveling. I'm way under powered.

    Make sure you have the means to upgrade your gear, no point in being level 99 with a level 10 sword.

    There is one major flaw in that "hack" but I let you figure it out :)

    Can attest to this working. Went from lvl60 to 88 in about an hour. Wouldn't have taken as long and would have gone further if not for my stupid f*cking fingers pressing too long or too hard and recruiting them, ending the boost. Happened twice so I just said I'd leave it at that for now. Though also, I haven't played the game in months and took me a while to get back into the groove in clearing out the forts.

    Had a quick look after I installed it this morning, there are now load out slots in the inventory. The initial area doesn't look all that big but the enemies have a bag of new tricks to keep you on your toes and dodging becomes far more important.

    Got the full Immortal set over the weekend. Instant health regen on death with a 1 minute cooldown.

    Also found Poseidon's Trident, let's you breath underwater.

    Also, does anyone know what dreamers75 is talking about? :confused:

    I'm guessing he means how your weapons/armour would then be seriously underlevelled, which was something I noticed myself, and don't have near enough resources to upgrade.

    Oh, I see. That probably escaped me because I have like 3 million drachmae and loads of resources lol
    The damage/health decrease only becomes unplayable every 11 levels because that's when the new engraving tier kicks in so if you're a level 10, for instance, you can still get by with level 1 gear but once you hit level 11 you need to upgrade. So as follows: 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91

    So if you are level 61, but your gear is level 60, you should upgrade it?
    But if you're level 60 and your gear is 55, you're grand? :)

    I spent most of my last resources upgrading the ship when going for the platinum (and that was before they added new tiers for upgrading), so I'm pretty low on everything, and even though I'm now level 99, all my weapons/armour is now about 60 or less.

    Getting caught then wrecked in a fort is annoying when you desync and end up miles away with all the objectives reset. Me being rusty and enemies having new attacks doesnt help.

    I found the leveling spot on in this. Granted, I've stopped since I've finished the story, waiting for all the DLC to come out before picking up the Season Pass, so maybe ye are on about the higher levels, but I think that 'hack' would break the game for me. Since I found out about the Admin Console in Conan: Exiles and messed a bit, I've no interest in going back. I'd imagine this would be the same.

    Yes same here, this glitch is great I'm sure for some, but having got a few ability points out of it, I can't afford to upgrade many weapons cos I don't have millions of Drachmae which means I'm now fighting people using weapons a fair bit lower than my level...

    I just hit level 60 and had a reasonable amount of resources , 2000 in most even more in some and just over 30k in cash. Upgrading my weapons from 55 and 56 to 60 wiped out my cash and a lot of leather and iron.

    Explanation

    Hope that made sense. It's complicated to explain.

    Yeah, makes perfect sense alright.
    Now I know why I didn't encounter being under-leved like you say, as I never let the gear get more than 5-6 levels behind before switching to something "a little worse" but better level, or upgrading it at the blacksmith :)

    The new DLC throws ability points at you without levelling up. 20 I think based on the achievement tracker. Plus what ever you would get for levelling up as usual.

    Finished DLC. Enjoyed it far more than the previous one and it's a bit more substantial. Felt it dragged out a bit and the story had a fair bit of nonsense in that you are
    doing quests for both sides but as far as I could tell there was really only one way it could end and you couldn't opt out of quests for the other side so the illusion of choice wasn't so much an illusion as a farce.

    Over all though it was enjoyable and the location looked fantastic in 4k.

    In fairness to Ubi too this is likely the best value I've seen in a 'gold' edition of a game. Serious amount of content when you consider the remaster of AC3 etc. plus the main game content.

    Definitely God of War. It won all those awards for a reason and if my personal GOTY from last year, and my top Must Have game for the PS4. But saying that, don't forget Odyssey. I've decided it's the best AC game yet. Completely changes the formula. Definitely pick it up at some stage, but it's less Assassins Creed and more God Mode. I did assassinate in it, but the real fun, imo, was the combat.

    God of War is a better game, but you'll definitely get more from Assassins Creed in terms of things to do/time spent, but yeah, I would go with GoW.
