I'll preface this by saying that I am about burned out by this game and if the devs have mentioned these bugs, etc in the SOTG notes, then I apologize in advance. But here are some casual gameplay problems that I have personally encountered as a normie. Perhaps some of these might be gripes, some shared by others and some already long standing issues.

1. Sweet Dreams GS500 Upgrade Blueprint. I obtained my 2nd SD at a level 499 this time and I thought that maybe the first time the BP wasn't around was just an error or I might have forgot to check..Nope, not the case. Has this been mentioned lately by the devs? Doubtful

2. Specialist Weapons ammo not in your weapon when you choose it. Since the TU3 patch I get 0 Demo 40mm grenade rounds. Not to mention the NPC drop rate is almost NON-EXISTENT and my tree is MAXED out. Mentioned by devs?

3 .Blueprints? I really do NOT need blue level mods for turrets, etc. So many of the mods drop in the open world and I am pretty sure the over whelming majority agree with me on this. We would prefer weapons mods mixed in with Inaya. Not to mention the BP's from the Base of Operations keep giving me armor or weapons. Why, so I can get a Gear Score 458 weapon? This is yet another broken system from Ubi/Massive. If I craft something in my bench at WT5 and all of my stuff in my inventory is average 499, my weapons and gear should craft at that! Mentioned by the devs?

4. I thought somewhere they mentioned vendors would sell me items based on an average? All of my vendors have purple gear set stuff? MY average is 499 to 500 plus. The only purple are some skill mods. Am I missing something here? Do I not know how to read? That is likely but enough is enough already with horrible vendor assortments. Mentioned by devs in SOTG?

5. I am sick and tired of NPC's that can literally run at 10 to 20 times my speed when I shoot at them. All the time taking 7.62x51 ammo and burning from exploding barrels or grenade damage. Or Hyenas who can hold unwieldy subguns or the engineers who shoot semi-auto shotguns one handed and hit you with pin point accuracy from the opposite side of the street. If Ubi wants to make a group of NPC's look like a bunch of asswipes, then give the aim to go with it. I get it, they are street punks who do drugs and have reckless abandon. But it is eye rolling and quite literally ******ed. True Sons and Black Tusk use tactics and Outcasts use suicide bombers and molotovs to great effect. Hyenas are just stupid.

6. The abuse of repeated drones and turrets by NPC's needs to be addressed. If we have to wait from 2 minutes of 60 seconds depending on your build, then how can some npc's have turrets that stay up until you kill the one who deployed it or destroy the turret? Or drones that come wave after wave after wave? Bullet sponges on top of that and my armor melts and I have damn near 220000 armor. Ya, addressed by the devs?

7.When underground searching for keys and loot, sometimes I will activate a hostage situation above ground and the hostages will die. This kind of sucks because it goes against some of my stats for the day if I am on a quest or just my overall points. It would be nice if this wouldn't start until I either started shooting or if the npc's actually visually spotted me. Not if my presence is sensed by the game in that area. Addressed by the devs?

8. Won't even bother with RAID talk. Being forced to beg strangers like we're back in elementary school for a spot on the kickball team is just screwed up. Then having to try and coordinate all of your loadouts, get to 577 or a different type or focus on this type of weapon or damage. Then hope everyone has mics and God forbid something comes up with anyone in the group and they have to leave. Because those groups finishing in 30 minutes or hell 3 hours or less are NOT normal. Not to mention people like myself just came over from console to pc for better graphics and fps, etc. I have zero friends from console here in the pc world. So ya, the devs can have their low completion rate RAID. I would rather them focus on the broke *** game that so many people seem to be abandoning. Especially the PvP players apparently.

What am I missing. If I am *****ing, it is because I am tired. I grind and grind playing this game because I love it. I spent $120 and play countless hours with a disability (have more than a quarter of the nerves in one arm removed and more to be taken out. So I have limited use of my left arm. Need to have torn ligaments repaired. So when I push myself so really hard and then get **** on by lack of responses or no blueprints for the +20 assault rifles or +35 after game launch for the lmg's. Or I get the same duplicate items in my loot boxes and there are so many items I have yet to get, there is a problem. I have yet to get an item that isn't a duplicate in over 2 weeks from the loot box from field proficiency crates and subsequent keys. Really Ubisoft.... The devs keep ignoring the gamers it upsets me. I want to see the franchise expand not only for new material but for myself. But I am literally doing all of the commendations because content is lagging. But ignoring the bugs and not communicating is driving people away. Just my opinion. You mean to tell me the game isn't smart enough to know that I don't have the +20's or the +35 and to stop giving me armor or holsters... I do not need that crap. Stop stripping the fun out of the game. Give us the ability to choose what we need or want.


There is not a lot for me to do around the house and I really love playing your game but you make it so hard to talk positively about it to other friends. Like my buddy Biigiie says sarcastically... Wow, you really know how to convince me to buy it. He says that because he hears how frustrated I am with all of the above and more. And you KNOW that I am not alone. Yet you guys never address these problems with us in an open environment. We just get a "we are aware of the problem".Is Worksite Community fixed yet? I doubt it. Come on, stop ruining it for us. $120 for those of us who were beyond excited and me who haven't received a check since January 10th because of my disability, this is a BIG DEAL.....

Hey,

I'll try to address most of your concerns. It's important to note that a lot of work is ongoing behind the scenes that you may not have visibility on. State of the Game generally addresses some of the top issues that week, and is not meant to be an exhaustive list of issues currently present in the game.

We're investigating the availability of the Sweet Dreams Upgrade Blueprint as this is something that we've seen reported by the community. No current news on this topic.

This is working as intended. However, the community suggestion of increased Specialization Ammo drops has been brought forward to the team but no promises as of yet.

Vendor should stock items based on your gear score average. What item level are you seeing? Is this the case for all vendors or just some? I'd be interested in more information on this one.

The unintended amount of aggressiveness and speed for NPC's currently present is a bug that we're actively working on.

This is working as intended, but we monitor community feedback on this topic just like any other topic. The frequency of NPC deployables was decreased once before between Beta and Launch.
