Prior to TU8 the open world was organic, no matter what you did you would never have an all green map because enemy factions would organically recapture control points. No matter what there was always lots to do in the overworld and lots to farm.

Massive YOU DECIDED TO BREAK THAT by "trying" to give us the ability to capture everything and freely reset it. On it's own sure this isn't a bad idea but I would HAPPILY keep the old CP's than have what we have right now.

Which is NOTHING.

CP's need to be fixed LAST WEEK even if it's just revert them to TU7 we NEED the ability to farm CP's and activities for blueprints and targeted loot.

Right now we're all protecting our last CP's and saving them from being taken over. Isn't that kind of crazy? You're actively preventing us from playing a massive part of the game.

FIX. IT.

Devs: I know you guys are probably working your ass off and the worlds getting scary so I sincerely hope everyones doing well and I'm sorry if this post came across as angry. I'm not mad at all I'm just really concerned because this doesn't seem to be a top priority and you seem unaware how much this impacts us all. Especially NY which I would love to play around in more but currently can't as there is NOTHING. So please let us know you're working hard on this.

Thanks!

It is a high priority but needs work. I know that sounds odd but the functionality of separating the Manhunt and the CPs is not simple. We will have more news this week.

Genuinely curious, but why was this done in the first place? Why were changes to CP's needed? I've never seen anyone previously complain about CP's so why fix something that aint broken? As the saying goes.

There was lots of feedback on Control Points including them being taken over continuously, as well as not being able to just continue doing CPs as often as you want.

We will make it so that you can reset the CPs with a Global Difficulty change in an upcoming patch. You will be able to reset the Manhunt CPs with a separate button, likely this week.

I logged in now after the TU 8.4 update and all my control points are green. It's very boring, nothing to fight for in the open world. Why did you listen to those complaining about control points getting taken over? It made the open world feel alive. Some tweaks could have been made to make take-overs rarer when you have all control points in an area. Thus giving players who wanted full control time to react.

Just to clarify, we will give players the option to reset CPs in an upcoming update. For now you can reset the Manhunt CPs with the newly added button in the Manhunt UI.

Next up is the ability to reset CPs via Global Difficulty.
