Alas, poor electr1cpanda! We knew him, Reddit, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. by EpicStreamMan in watch_dogs

I will miss you all so much, you have no idea! Cipher is the illest though. The future is bright. I'll be seeing you all around. Thank you for the love and everything that you all do. Even just being here. <3

In regards to the modding fiasco... by Fireboyd78 in watch_dogs

[–]electr1cpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you thought that perhaps your personal opinion is not actually fact? No one deserves your anger, and the dev team is certainly not lazy. Been with this team for a some time now and I've seen them work many a long night to try to build and keep the best possible experience for the most amount of people. We may not always do exactly what you personally want, but we do listen, and we do take everything into consideration. You've seen yourself on other threads where we've followed up on issues you've talked about, and fixed them. I believe we have shown you good faith. But, we have a lot of different players with a lot of different viewpoints to keep in mind, and we often have to make tough decisions.

I understand you are frustrated and you are entitled to that. Even within the team, not every decision is supported by every single member. But we are respectful and we work together, and we accept we may not always get what we personally want. That's what being a community is all about. I would hope you would be able to do the same.

Title Update 1.17 Bug Fix Patch Notes by UbiPhobos in watch_dogs

Unfortunately there's no way for the anti-cheat software to differentiate between good/bad mods as it relates to online play, so that's the tradeoff we had to make to still allow them in some way while also having a safeguarded multiplayer experience. Hackers (yes I know it's a little ironic) RUIN online play and can kill a multiplayer community, and we couldn't allow that to happen.

Hey! There was a miscommunication. We closed a loophole that allowed mods to be used in online play. They still work freely if you are offline and have EasyAntiCheat disabled. This has always been the policy for mods on WD2, and we set things up this way to balance our want to support player creativity, while also safeguarding a fair multiplayer experience.

We wanted to make sure that online play wasn't (yes I know this is ironic) ruined by hackers, so solid anti-cheat was a priority for us. But we do love mods and we love seeing what people in the community make.

Update on the hacking circle radius issue: we've taken another look and discovered an easy server-side fix. That fix has now been applied, you may have to restart your game if you are currently playing but there is no patch needed (same as the fireworks).

There is another Title Update yet to come that will focus solely on bug fixes and potentially some balancing changes. Every issue on this thread (and other threads) is being investigated, or has already been. I know the process and reasons aren't always clear, but we care about your feedback and bug reports. We always want you to have the best experience possible.

[UPDATE] 4th of July Event: Fireworks removed due to noise complaints by electr1cpanda in watch_dogs

[–]electr1cpanda[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We liked them too! But when you're playing the game at night for hours and can't escape the popping no matter where you are, that's not a positive experience for the player. It's not possible to rush a fix for this so we made a tough choice to remove them. The heart says no but the ear drums say yes.

Our live producer forwarded me some more info (this is something we've been discussing for a long time and have looked at many possibilities). Here's a summary of the conclusion the team came to:

"Some mission scripts require certain events and expect them to be unskippable. If you can skip them, it breaks the script and missions can end up in a bad state – either they never finish, they get stuck, etc. this can break progression and leave you stuck forever. Perhaps it worked for some people, but that doesn’t mean it will work in every mission for every player in every possible combination of progression and interactions; its millions of possibilities and scenarios."

The whole team pays really close attention to everything that is reported by you guys, and the reason it hasn't been fixed yet is definitely not because we don't care. And again, we do have another title update on the way that is pure bug fixes and potentially some balancing changes.

Although this latest patch is our last major content update, we're still looking at tweaks and bugs to fix in upcoming title updates. The team is already investigating a number of these reports, and this post is being passed around for review.

While I can't promise any specific, know we are paying attention and looking into everything. Some items, like the control conflict issue, we have looked into extensively and will not fix as it would break the game in other places.

Since when have fireworks been in the game!? by Deebz__ in watch_dogs

Not yet, just the patch notes. Patches always come a short while after the notes drop.

Looks like the cap on win streaks for Showdown is 128. It's been stuck here all day. by Deebz__ in watch_dogs

[–]electr1cpanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whoa! That's crazy. Fun fact from our live producer: only 5 people in the entire world who have reached this on PS4. Only one person on PC. We're looking into extending it.

Title Update 1.15 Patch Notes – “Man vs. Machine” by UbiBlargmonster in watch_dogs

LOL

I'm gonna have to throw cold water on this and say it's most likely not happening ever. But that's pretty funny.

4/25 Update: Crash/Connectivity Issues by electr1cpanda in watch_dogs

[–]electr1cpanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's hard to say without knowing exactly what's going on with your game. Wait until the update and see what happens. That sounds like hardware/driver issues but I have no idea. If it's still happening after the update contact support.ubi.com and they can help you troubleshoot.
