Why is this game breaking with every patch? Its been what two days of not being able to use certain skills...ya know a pretty MAJOR part of the core game...

I can't talk for the devs on that, but I know that game development is not easy and software can be quite fragile. So there are situations where a bug, even as major as the one with the skills not working properly, cannot be fixed quickly.

Applying a patch needs to be safe, otherwise you're just implementing further bugs into the game. It also has to be done first, so you need to find the exact cause of the issue, find a way to fix it in the code and so on.

We have people working on the weekend right now on a couple of these major issues, because we know it's super annoying to play like this. Thanks again for your patience and letting us know when something is broken.

you all have proven that you can turn a failed product into a decent product with some ducttape, and then take all that you learned from the previous product into the replacement and end up with a superior product. this sounds kinda obvious doesnt it? well the industry at large sure as hell havent figured out this advanced development strategy yet.

-Trevlig helg, må du äta många köttbullar till middag.

Tusen tack :)

Wow, this sounds cool, you have been a fan before, now you work at the company that makes that game. Is your hiring related to you being a fan by any sort of way?

Kind of! I’ve been a Level Designer in AAA for a while. I was working in LA and although I wasn’t necessarily looking for a new gig, I loved the division so much that I applied to Massive. The idea of living in Europe really interested my girlfriend and I so it was hard to say no ;)

We're looking into this!

The issue people got isnt with the hair. BUt their very ethnicity, I doubt the barber change that

To clarify: Goldenkrow said "there is no way to change your looks in the game". I just wanted to point out that there is customization. But of course it doesn't fix the bug people are encountering.

Sorry if I brought more confusion to this, that wasn't my intention. Thanks for your feedback!

Yeah, I got Jefferson Plaza completed. Now this is confusing. I can't recall any cutscene etc. explaining the Castle story. I remember stumbling upon it, it would randomly pop on the map then disappear.

So it appears it's not bugged, right?

I am pretty sure I did this in a group with a person who completed it before (I have no life friends) being a leader. Same with Henry.

So the Henry situation is now being looked and, it hadn't come up until yesterday. But I'm glad to hear that today's fix at least seems to have resolved the issue with the Castle Settlement.

Yeah, I know I'll just stop playing for a while. Henry not talking and Castle greyed out, so chances are I won't be able to do much after 30 anyway (29 atm).

BTW my Ultimate edition skin has been eaten by a bug too (the one where you would sell a weapon with a skin applied and skin was gone) and never came back. I've sent all of this incl. screenshots and repros where possible to support. ( i did encounter all these bugs during my play-through, btw)

Regarding the Castle being greyed out: Just in case that was missed, the Castle Settlement was destroyed. It's not an actual settlement and there's nothing to do there after the cut scene.

I want to double check with you: You have other missions and you were able / are able to play the Jefferson Plaza mission? Because that's what people got stuck on before the patch, they wouldn't get any more missions.

It's not my part, I am not Ubi QA, but I'll do it anyway. Mission is "Talk to Henry Hayes", it's the last stage (4th) of the Campus settlement progression. Henry Hayes is either not there or standing behind the desk in front of his office/building with no option to talk to him which prevents me from finishing the mission. Sometimes he jumps on the desk :)

Hey. I understand that stuff like this can be very frustrating and we definitely don't take this lightly. Just understand that every player is different and some players do things that our QA would not do, because they test the game when it grows.

You guys have a very different view on things and don't forget that the amount of hours all the players can put in, can never be reproduced by QA.

This being said, it's not an excuse. Bugs like this are definitely very difficult to handle for players and I do want to apologize for the inconvenience.

That doesn't seem to be a general problem and might be something on your Operating System. Try reaching out to the Ubi support https://support.ubi.com/.

You also have inventory space for resources. These can be full too. When you open your inventory (where you can see your weapons) you'll find tabs on the top right to navigate to Apparel (left) Gear Talents (right) and Resources (far right).

If your inventory for resources is full, head over to a friendly Control Point and restock them.

Glad to see a reply about this. Since there is no way to change your looks in the game, this is a pretty bad bug to get D:

That's not quite true. There's a barber in the White House once you recruit him during the campaign! Won't help with all cases, but you can change the look of your agent.

Hey Vice061! Thanks for letting us know. We've seen this being reported from a few players and we are looking into this.

Downloading the game as we speak. I loved the campaign experience of the original, but lost interest in the end game. Very interested in giving 2 a whirl.

As someone who was a super fan of the first game before working at Massive, I can confidently tell you that you’re going to have a blast :) let me know what you think, I’m genuinely interested.

Please fix the issue of not scaling up low levels players when partying with a higher level player. My friends just picked this up and they keep getting one shot because it's not adjusting it properly.

Hey guys. Just want to confirm that we are looking into this. We want to make sure the crashing and progression blockers are sorted now, but won't stop working on fixing other issues like this appearing. Thanks for your continued reports and feedback. Helps us a lot identifying issues!

This guy's message hits with me a bit as well, and I want to say thank you Ryan and pass that on to the rest of your team.

In a time where several other "unnamed" live games are having a hard time, you guys have really taken things forward.

PS - running around DC is really much more fun than I expected, and it is saving me from having to play Gambit which I find stressful.

Love to the team and everyone else enjoying the game x

Thanks!! And I will totally pass this along :)

Thank you!! We have some passionate devs on the team, that’s for sure :)

I've lost a lot of passion for video games because of life problems and depression but this game has made me feel like a child again. Played 4 hours before work and can't wait to continue next time I'm free. The last game that made me feel this way was God of War. I was never even a looter shooter fan I always disliked the genre until this game. Fantastic achievement Massive hope you guys are relaxing and enjoying the praise.

I personally have been overwhelmed with the positivity from the community...you are all amazing. I’m glad you’re enjoying the game :)
